Probably, five shots or less of most anything will probably work in vast majority of defensive scenarios, probably.   - OS

Now, let the prices plummet and the tears of all these people who overspent themselves start a flowing.

The difference I see is force. Government is allowed to use force to compel you do do certain things. I have never been forced to work at a particular place. If a work environment becomes intolerable, I am free to leave.

Got his nice display of 22lr ammo today traded some other ammo for it. Some of it has 1cent TN tax stamps on it. Any way thought it was kind of cool. Makes a neat display. Jason.

A man, or woman, who trains with a revolver and has the skills to use it, is well prepared for all but the most extreme scenerio. The average street crook, break in artist, or just plain old mugger; will not normally be prepared to meet someone who knows how to defend themselves.   If you practice with your weapon of choice, you'll be miles ahead. But don't just shoot a few times and think " I"m ready." Constant practice drawing from concealment, dry firing, trigger control, point shooting, all the drills necessary to hone your skills and keep them sharp.   Basically..."Eternal Vigilance"   Then a man with a revolver will not be undergunned.

The best gun in any situation is the one you have with you when the situation arises.

I believe you have the species correct, however the location of the orifice seems about 180° off...

Looks like the AWB and the "High" Capacity Magazine Ban have both been dropped from the National "Gun Bill" in the Senate!  Now, just to drop the entire thing!  We've made headway atleast!   http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/03/19/feinstein-assault-weapons-ban-reid-senate-bill/2000119/

Then you could tell everyone that your mag holders are about to be banned and charge twice what they're worth just like the magazines :) Seriously though yours look great.

I don't see how he knows when it's coming in. They don't tell us anymore, or allow us to have the print out of what's coming in. Must be a manager, either way he's an asshole.

  They already do this.  ;)

I won't be fully satisfied until I know it's completely dead, but this is pretty much what I expected and it is good news. I don't think the majority of politicians expected the fierce backlash they've gotten over all this. I'm waiting to see what happens in Colorado. I hope they run everyone who voted for that bill out of office.

The Constitution does not protect you from the actions of "individuals" or "private entities", laws do. Having the right to bear arms is not a guaranteed right on someone else's property. Neither is protection from unreasonable search and seizure. Those can be set as the conditions of being on the property and you can choose to comply or leave. A property owner has no legal or even moral obligation to give anyone the rights as dictated in the Constitution. There is not a single Amendment in the Bill of Rights that a private individual must recognize when someone else is one their property. It is the property owners, not the guest, that choose what they will allow. Allowing a firearm on private property is a choice made by the property owner because it is not guaranteed by the Constitution. Laws dictate how private entities interact with each other, not the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.   The right to defend yourself is a fundemental right but how or what we choose to defend is not guaranteed or dictated by the Constitution. We choose a firearm because it is the most efficient way to protect ourselves.   A private entity can dictate the use of a Nerf gun for defense on their property. They can also dictate that you do not have gun in your car on their property. You can choose to comply or leave the property. If you are an employee that can also mean you will get fired. And this law only enforces that. This law does not guarantee you will not be fired for having a firearm in your car. You can still be fired for having a gun in your car against your boss's wishes.   Like I said before, I am glad those of you who supported this got it passed but it realistically changes nothing with regards to whether you can be fired or not for having a gun in your can. All it is going to do is give employees a false feeling that they cannot be fired for having a gun in their car when, in reality, they can. And when they think they have been wrongly fired, even though they haven't, there will be lawsuits filed costing the taxpayers of this state money.   We don't need more laws, especially when they change nothing. Keeping your mouth shut and the gun out of sight would have been a better option as it won't cost taxpayer money to hear the lawsuits.   If I were an employer I would welcome people to carry firearms but that is my choice as the employer. And likewise another emplyer should have the right to choose to not allow firearms.   How many here think this law protects them from being fired for having a gun in their car?   Dolomite

My 20 + 1 beretta 9 makes my britches sag. One can't go around with saggy britches now can one? I carry a 5 shot snubby. No sag and never think about being under gunned :)

And to think the West was won with six-shooters.  :shrug:

To me it depends.  5 rounds of 9mm or .380 would make me hesitate.  5 rounds of 125 grain JHP .357 magnum does not make me feel undergunned.

It would seem to me, although having never been in an actual situation, after the sound of the first shot, who's not going to be running in an opposite direction?   1) The guy that fired it.   2) The guy that got hit by it.   I'm probably wrong, but...

go buy a bullet puller.  you need one around when you reload. 

The problem with this is any argument that you can make about video games, you can take out those words and insert "guns" and it sounds almost exactly the same. Instead of saying that video games (or guns) are an ingredient, and trying to make a scapegoat out of one or the other, the blame should fall onto the person doing the crime and that person alone. A person that kills someone with a lawn mower blade doesnt result in lawn mowers getting blamed when the guy watched Slingblade in 1996. It's not a perfect example, but you know what I'm saying.

Obama did say if he had a son he'd look like Trayvon. ;)

As a veteran, I still oppose this bill.  I am against ANY bill that gives one group of citizens privileges that other citizens cannot have.  I do not favor laws that permit retired police officers, judges, or anyone else to carry without a permit unless everyone who can legally possess a firearm can do so as well.  Thus, I do not support a bill which gives certain veterans a privilege that everyone cannot have.   If, as a private citizen, you want to start a fund to pay part or all of the fee for veterans, I'm fine with that and would probably contribute.  But making a law that gives special privileges is a bad idea.

Any place in or around Knoxville where a person could take some basic adult ed style machine shop classes. Would love to take a 6-8 week course on how lathes and mills work, basic set up etc. Have been looking online and cant seem to find anything. I kinda thought a lot of high schools offered adult night classes for a fee for such things but cant find anything on Knox County Schools website either.

WBC. I wouldnt piss on them if they were on fire. Anyone who will hold a sign that says thank God for ieds and dead soliders at a military funeral deserves some horrible shit to come around. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

There's no way that man expected him or his son to survive that crash. I hope there's a front row seat in Hell for a father that would do that.

  bahaha. You don't know bad traffic.   Knoxville "traffic" is a joke.

My bet is on "tactical bandana man" dying first in a mustard gas attack, followed closely behind by "goon previously known as tactical beard guy".

Gee, Dianne... All that grandstanding for nothing. Hate it for ya!

Nope I just use my Psychic powers to know when I'm not going to be assaulted by a pack of MUY and carry my revo or 1911 then. Your winning numbers today are 10  34    21   34   and 4

Oh by the way. Anyone else suspect the governor got scratched/bit? He seems to have a limp now and he kept covering his midsection with his coat after his return to woodberry.

I don't feel under-gunned carrying my "winter" revolver. I work outside so I wear a heavy coat that makes this little baby disappear. 6 rounds of 44mag in the gun makes me feel pretty good.

The best gun to have is the one you have with ya when ya need it.   leroy

It is because you cant get there from here.       Sorry about that, I cant help myself.

Lets think critically on this for a second folks. We know that there are tens of millions of folks with firearms who never go on shootings sprees or have any inclination towards murder. At the same time there are tens of millions of people who play shooting video games who don't go on violent shooting sprees. Anyone ever think for a moment that it isn't the gun or the video game that magically transforms a person into a mass murderer? Perhaps a person who fantasizes about mass murder acquires that weapon for the purpose of murder and plays the violent video game to feed their obsession with murder. Just a thought. Blaming video games for violence is like blaming guns. It is an incredibly stupid argument.

Hey, I'd be glad to buy Randel a beer or coffee or whatever (so long as I don't buy it at Walmart).

  That's not how the liberals roll. ;)

Other than the aftermath, nothing.

  The show ended because the ratings were trending down. Fox, or any other cable outlet, doesn't care what comes out of the TV. They care about ratings. You also need to realize that the Fox gig wasn't a big part of his income. His contract with us pays him $20 mil/yr, and Blaze was projected to do $40 mil gross in its first year. I agree, he was off the deep end. Just sayin', Fox cares about the money, and that's it.

Well being as you posted in the "long guns" section, I'm assuming you weren't looking for handgun suggestions. If I were dreaming I'd likely go for a Montana Rifle Company XVR in .35 Whelen. It's stainless, synthetic [you're gonna want that in Alaska!] and my shoulder cannot handle the bigger powerhouses anymore since I injured it but the 35 Whelen is manageable and MORE than enough if you put the bullet where it needs to go. Price tag of $1400 is a very reasonable price considering what you get. It is fitted with iron sights which is another prerequisite to back up a scope out there. http://www.montanarifleco.com/custom.rifles.html I will say everyone is right to suggest a large caliber handgun as a side arm. In that case I'd say a reasonable revolver in NO LESS than .44 magnum, preferably a .454 Casull or larger. Since we're dreaming here I'd put in for a Hamilton Bowen built M1917 Redhawk in .50 AE. I'd have it built on a stainless action though. Only problem with this handgun is the price is north of 4K and a year wait. http://www.bowenclassicarms.com/gallery.html

If there were not 4 tax stamps...one on each box, I'd report them to the state of TN.

That was fun! Show us some more. :up:
