  ... and who to shoot. :)

We camped out in the backyard last night. First campout for our kiddos. Baked beans over the fire, hot dogs, marshmallows, and hot chocolate. It was funtastic!

22's at that price can sit and rot on the shelves for all I care....unless its Eley match or equivalent.

Maybe the guy they "captured' aint the guy that done the shootin...    There is somethin rotten here that aint come out yet....  If ya look at the google map of this area; there is lots of rugged territory to the north.   Maybe they saw somethin they shouldn't have seen... This looks way too professional to me for a drug crazed redneck boy to do this shootin; but i tend to be a bit cynical and suspicious myself...     I think several things are for sure....As others have wisely opined; they probably wouldn't doin a rolling bible study.... They weren't commin home from prayer meeting; nor were they (...most likely...) "....role models for the yuuths of amerika"...  as that great humanitarian and philosopher jessee jackson would say...   All that bein said; i don't think they deserved bein shot in the head and left dead; but, to me at least, there is somethin mighty rotten here....   I smell one of thee things;....bad company...., ....seeing that which should not be seen....,.... failure to pay... All of them are very dangerous; potentially lethal.   I know this territory pretty well... I've seen some things in broad daylight there on the old highway at crab orchard that made me very nervous and concerned to see -- way too many outsiders, and they aint transplants living in the area either... You need to be armed when you are there.   leroy

  EVERY gun should be the official gun of TN.

My personal thoughts are that a POTUS can be any race, religion, orientation or whatever floats his boat provided he serves the people, is faithful to the United States Constitution, and doesn't go around making our global image any weaker than it already is. Obama has done the exact opposite of what a POTUS is supposed to do. I don't dislike him for being Muslim, I hate him for being a POS POTUS.

I got the bug real bad now!!!! I could see my breath this morning when I walked outside. Almost time.

Bunch of guys from the Hide went to Rock Castle yesterday to shoot out to 1,100 and 1,500 yards. Us .30 cal guys stuck with the 1,100 and 1,000 yard targets. Two guy w/ .338's were taking shots at the 1.500. Couple highlights of the day for our group: Retired Navy GMC came w/ his rifle zeroed at 100 and dialed up. He made a 1st round hit at 800, then we got him out to 1,000. I know he was pretty pleased with that. Ballistic Apps work! :) My son was the 1st of our group on at 1,000 in his 4th shot after figuring out the wind. We all made hits at 1,100 w/ my Savage 10BA. My personal highlight was, longest shot I have ever tried w/ iron sights. 1,050 yards with a Swiss K31. Cost me about $20 of ammo. I hit all around the target and finally got a hit at bottom of target. Glad I had a spotter for that, no way would I have got there without one. For some reason I knew I would be parked next to someone w/ a .338 laying prone! I need to spend today cleaning the dust off my rifle. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr-s1eZRHo0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkDI6twFmDQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVkmMMnDja4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3533_DGgT8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sZVeSeOaz8

I don't care if the person is 7 or 107 if they are trying to kill me I will try to stop that threat. If a firearm is being used then expect the same level of force to be returned, regardless of age, in order to stop the threat. Him being 107 has about as much to do with it as the color of his underwear.   Anyone can assault another, be it someone who is 7 or 107 or somewhere in between. Just because one person doesn't feel it was an assault doesn't mean it isn't an assault or that another person feels the same way. Now I might be embarrassed to admit I was assaulted by a 107 year old but it doesn't mean it didn't happen or that the person could not be charged. It also depends on the type of assault. If a 107 year old fires a gun at me then I would, as most would, feel that an assault took place.There are a lot of things that a 107 year old can do to assault another. Here he is pointing, and shooting, a firearm at innocent people who ahve a legal right to enter his house.   An assault doesn't even require physical contact to be made. All that is required is for someoen to be afraid it may happen. Acting like you are going to hit someone, even if you don't make contact, is an assault. Pointing a weapon at someone IS an assault so the officers had a legal right to be there and the criminal, on the other hand, did not have a legal right to shoot at the officers.   If his family, or doctors, knew he had dementia then they should have prevented his access toa  firearm. Once again the fear of hurting someone's feelings lead to a more serious problem. Had they removed the firearm long ago, like they should have, it would ahve upset the elderly man but he wouldn't be dead today.   As far as waiting that might have helped but what happens if he is an insomniac and never goes to sleep? How long are you supposed to tie up resources and wait to enter to do your job that you are legally allowed, and perhaps required, to do? Or what if he decides to start randomly shooting through walls and injures a innocent person. At what point do you risk innocent people to save someone who is committing serious, as in felony, crimes? The 107 year old man was committing crimes that could have easily killed others. He was a criminal and age had zero to do with it.   Now his age, and any underlying mental condition, may have come out during his trial as mitigating factors but are we supposed to allow him to continue to commit crimes because he is 107 or has a mental condition? I think not.

Lebanon Gun Shop.   http://myemail.constantcontact.com/22-LONG-RIFLE-AMMO-.html?soid=1103380377742&aid=kJsscp3s_SA   And that's what they call "crazy low prices". I think "low" was a typo.

I actually think $150 is a steal, and the laser is about worthless.

I agree Leroy. I spend a lot of time in that area and its not for the faint of heart. There is a state owned park just across the mountain called Cumberland Trail ( used to be called Blake Mountian) it's poorly maintained and very sketchy. I believe more than anything that there are multiple people involved. Not just one shooter

That is the lower.

  Jeez, I need access to your thesaurus!   Saying that though, note that "fell" should be "feel" and "compliant" should be "complaint". :)   - OS

Eh... I mean, to be fair they could have just as easily posted a headline saying that Obama is a bi-sexual wrestler.  I didn't see any hard facts in either of those articles.  Just accusations.   Is it plausible?  Well, duh.  But it's also plausible that it's a smear campaign because they're not happy with the Obama Administration.  And I'm not even a fan-boy.

Wow, that sucks Patriot! I hate it for the other guys too. Hope those pieces of &#++@ that sold them get their a$$ handed to them soon. Thanks for the heads up though, I will buy new probably, but in case I get a used one, I will do research first. Sorry you ended up with a toy instead of what you'd hoped for.

So, I bought a new kydex gun case tomorrow and I'm gonna open carry my rifle in it. With a fake supressor and a 203 launchef loaded with smoke rds while walking down the middle of knoxville wearing a plate carrier and a turbine while screaming randomly. Who is with me? :D Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Age has nothing to do with it because a firearm was being used and the firearm is an equalizer. Being 107 doesn't make the gun any less lethal. I would be condemning the officers if the 107 year old man was trying to fight them using only his body strength but he was not, he was using a firearm that could have killed any of the officers that had a legal right to be there. Any firearm is capable of serious bodily injury or death regardless of the age of the shooter.   And in this situation SWAT was warranted because you have a criminal who had previously stated that officers would have to kill him. Then the criminal shot at the initial officer (not SWAT officers) who attemped to make contact. SWAT was called out AFTER the criminal shot at the officer (not SWAT) who tried to make first contact. When the criminal shot at the officer then it required SWAT to be called for everyone's safety. And SWAT is what should have been used because they are the best trained for situations like this. They are not trained to run in with guns a blazing. They generally have a lot more training on "no shoot" situations than most road officers.   In the end the officers had a legal right to be there. The homeowner did not have a legal right to shoot at them. And because of this the officers had every right, legally and morally, to stop the criminal's lethal assault on innocent people.   And one more thing for those who may not know. The reason why you do not wait a criminal out is because it allows them to barracade themselves, boobytrap the entrances and better arm themselves. Any one of these things makes it more dangerous for the officers. As long as entering doesn't place innocent people in danger it should happen as soon as and quickly as possible.

Ok. Busted. I am sorry to say that it was on sale at Dick's for $14.99. (Nashville West). I wouldn't put any food directly on it. :) Back to the weather... It was amazing today!!!!

Unless you are using something like liquid nitrogen paintballs will not freeze.  They just get brittle and explode before they exit the barrel.

Home grown vegetables taste better than store bought.   When I can, I know what's in the can because I put it there.   Food, sodas, beer, etc. taste better from glass than from aluminum.   Electricity isn't required to preserve canned food.   It IS less expensive.   My children are learning something that may prove very valuable for them one day.

It's easy to judge from the comfort of your couch. Why don't you walk a mile in their shoes? PD's don't have unlimited resources to be able to sit and wait for someone to leave their house.

Well I was gonna go, got about 15 miles from the house and forgot where I was going and came back home.  :rofl:

I went to A-H reloading looking for Unique. My luck, nada, however he was stocked with almost every powder I have ever heard of, including Varget. There were also two 8 pounders of Red Dot. WC 846 has gone up to $139 for 8 pounds. I bought IMR 4350 and Bulleye for decent prices. If you know where to go, it looks like some things are getting back to normal. However my favorite local gun has not gotten a shipment of powder in 6 months.

wow what a dog! Much smarter than most people I know.

Agreed, went out this morning to try and call some Coyote's with my new caller.  It was nice to sit in the blind and just enjoy being outside.

This is heaven! I let the dogs out and it felt so good, I wanted to pee outside too! :rock:

Seems like every Tom dick harry and their granny has some sort of single shot shotgun

'scuse me while I get a paper towel.......I have coffee all over my new ipad.

i use a dawson ice on my gen 3. they might offer a gen 4 version by now.

Folks may think I an not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I just learned back about a year ago that the Sheriff in what ever county they serve in is by law one of the most powerful law enforcement officers in the state which they preside in. They even have more authority than the state Troopers and in Tennessee they have more authority in their home county the the TBI does. Reason for that kind of authority is because the Sheriff is an elected official by the people of that county. I guess that is why all the sheriffs across the country are telling these Governors to take their laws and stick um. When they take their oath they take and oath to serve the people of that county and that is what most of them are doing...........jmho 

  I realized that after I first started this thread. Not sure if $4.79 for a box of 5 would be a good price for that item, either way there would be some unhappy bucks running around Maryville.

If I followed someone into a restaurant to confront them over something they did/didn't say to me in a parking lot and during the confrontation I pushed them, like that young cop did, I'd expect to be charged with battery.

Excel spreadsheet for me too. Also keep a file of pictures of mine.

They already have all our fingerprints. :(

Depending on price and FFL location, I'd take an interest in two lowers

If you ever need any help just ask me.

You should look into doing it yourself. I do and its rewarding to harvest, clean and process it yourself.

Farnkly, while it probably puts me in the minority here, I'd rather see those who carry observe TN law as it was intended by the legislature and passed in 1996. That is, not as blanket permission to open carry but as a protection against exactly the sort of thing going on in Florida; that is, attempting to prosecute permitted people for the accidential/unintentional revelation of their carry weapon which in some states can carry serious charges.   However, this thread is not about how one carries but the out of control actions of this one police officer; one that I hope is appropriately punished for his behavior.

What ARE you TALKING about WILLES :rofl:

I've somtimes wondered if this is what it's like in a retirement community or some kind of asylum.  :lol:

Monte Cristo and Cohiba are excellent. I'm also fond of Macanudo, Ashton and CAO. If you like aromatic smoke, you may want to consider a pipe... I switched about a year ago and enjoy it much better. It's significantly cheaper and you'll meet lots of people. When you smoke a cigar, people leave you alone. When you smoke a pipe, people come up and tell you stories about their grandfathers. I like the smoke shop in green hills... I think its Uptowns... good selection, great people.

For CQB it's really hard to beat the effectiveness of 00 buckshot.
