  3. Wait a minute.  You found kids in the year 2013 that were outside, and throwing rocks?  If this seems to be a problem go down to your local pawn shop, plop down $99 on an Xbox and give it to the kids.  Garuntee you will never see them again.

  5. I imagine the office asked her to unload it as an alternative to taking possession of the weapon for the duration of the stop which is something the law specifically allows for reasons of "officer safety". My question to the officer would be to ask how having me handle my weapon helps increase his safety? Wouldn't the weapon staying put in its holster be a much safer course of action for everyone involved?

  6. So who should the libertarians decide to play with? The Democrats who wish to control how we live our lives & spend our money? Or maybe we should play with the Republicans who unlike the Democrats only want to control how we live our lives and spend our money? ;)

  7.   Anyone to be on record saying "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it" should not be allowed by We the People to hold office any longer. I suppose it's We the People that are failing this country, not the politicians.

  12. We were at Iuka Mississippi last month for a big reenactment. We took two of our guns (3" ordnance rifles). Here we are firing during the battle. (I'm on the first gun, far side front with the brown slouch hat). We will be in Johnsonville this coming weekend. Stop in and say hello. I will give you the grand tour of the guns! DaveS

  13. Just curious have a good friend that is in his apprenticeship and has been working with his redtail hawk. I went out and seen it the other night. He has him coming to him from 100 ft away. He said he was going to hunt him when the leaves fall of a little more. Very interesting hobby for sure. The hawk is very calm now I was standing within arms length of him and he didn't seem bothered a bit.

  16.   McDonnell is the worst kind of crook, a cheap and stupid one, the whole state knows it, and Cuccinelli is his hand picked guy. Among C's other dumb moves, he's looked for ways to negate abortion in the state, GOP can't seem to leave the female reproductive system alone but wonder why it loses so much of the distaff vote.   - OS

  17. DaveS,   TN honors permits for ALL states, per state law 39-17-1351.  And while you must be 21 to be issued a TN permit, there is no such restriction placed on honoring out of state permits.   So since she had a valid out of state permit, isn't working full time in TN and isn't a resident of TN, she would be perfectly legal to carry here in TN, open or concealed.   39-17-1351r1:     You'll note it doesn't say anything about age restrictions...   So everything you just said is completely incorrect.

  19. I don't see myself ever voting for a republican or democrat ever again.      if the TP wants my vote they need to separate from the republicans.   Voting Libertarian is an option, one about as beneficial as just staying home.  And that is a real option.

  20. The interesting thing to me is that the GOP establishment is screwed both ways with the Tea Party. They made some major tactical errors early on, and now the damage is such that I'm not sure it can be undone. The GOP has just assumed up until the shutdown that the Tea Party was going to caucus with them, and you see where that's gotten them. Yet, if they tell them to go take a hike, as many are encouraging, they won't be able to win without them. So in effect, that fairly small group definitely has a loud voice. And, they may wind up walking this whole American experiment off the cliff. They represent a big threat to the establishment on both sides of the aisle. It's too early to tell if they'll last or simply get purchased like the rest of their peers. It'll be interesting to watch.

  21. Do not shoot the dog unless it is a threat to you or your animals. Catch it and turn it over to the animal shelter. The neighbors may be saying it isn't their dog but if you shoot it they can make your life miserable if they can convince the authorities you shot the family dog. And despite what some people think, killing a companion animal is against the law unless it is a threat. Also, you want to really piss someone off then kill their kid's pet. At least if you turn it over to a shelter they can get it back and it might cost them money. Money is the biggest motivator to people like this.   As far as the kids throwing rocks I would approach the parents and ask them politely to keep their kids from throwing rocks on your property. Next step would be to have a letter delivered in writing saying the same thing. Then after that I would go through the courts and ask for a court order preventing it. I am not sure LE can, or should, be involved in what is a civil matter. During this whole time I would try to get as much video evidence as you can to support your court case as well as for proof when they decide to damage your property.

  22. While I would try to work it out between myself and the neighbors, contacting the police is always an option. Unless the dog is vicious, I could not condone killing the dog.

  24. Yet another example of my don't give LEO's your permit unless you're required to do so under the law.  They won't find out if you have a permit or not until after they run your D/L, and by then they've already written the ticket and likely won't bother asking about it.     One day an officer in the name of "officer safety" will have a negligent discharge and end up shooting themselves, the permit holder or an innocent bystander, all because they thought it was a good idea to handle a loaded firearm for no good reason.   At the very least we need to amend the law to require officers document every time they disarm a permit holder and the exact officer safety reason for that disarm.  My guess is the number of these silly posts would go away with that single change.

  25. I should preface this by saying this is the first pumpkin I've ever carved (that I remember) and it blows my mind the detail some people are able to do with them. This is all me and my pocketknife could come up with.

  30. Yes. We should all get behind the change that we don't want so that we can say we got some change.   Seems legit.   90% of politicians are just corrupt. Only by fearing that they will lose enough votes that they'll be unable to maintain their greedy grip on power can any kind of leverage be applied to them. They will all, (on both sides) do the same thing if they think their support is unconditional.

  31. I was in there recently on two different occasions. Purchased a handgun on both. Both times I was told they no longer do this. The place was crowded and every customer that I saw make a purchase (including me) paid sticker price plus sales tax + $10 fee. Buyers might want to confirm the current policy with the counter guys at G&A.

  32. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H.L. Mencken   In this case the Evil Republicans want to starve your children.

  33. Ha didn't see the forest for the trees :o) duh! Thanks Kris. Picked up a sweet DTA last week. 338/308 deployment kit. USO scope. It's nice. Still liking the AI though. Got a Eberlestock GS2 and she folds up so nicely in the back of it. Even without the scabbard deployed. Let me know when you guys are shooting again and I'll fill the truck up and come on down.

  34. After reading my posts do you think I have implied it does? After seeing part two of that video, seeing that the Chief took the time to come out, and hearing what he had to say; I think he may have a talk with that Officer.

  39. I think the leo may have just been testing her to see if she would comply without question. Some leo's will just test people to see if they will comply. We have a few here in Gallatin that are known to do that from time to time. I wish the Chief would lay down a set of rules for dealing with legal carry people and tell all his officers that is the rule and they all must follow it. The Chief here is a great guy and very level headed about Legal carry. The Sheriff is also a great guy and also very legal carry friendly and I have never been stopped by any of his officers yet so don't know their procedures........jmho

  42. I wouldn't have said anything about it in the first place.  We can debate if you should, but she had no obligation to tell them she had it at all unless she was asked.  If asked, I would tell them where it is and follow all requests, but I don't see a need to just bring it up.     I don't say this because I am trying to hide anything or make anyone's job harder.  I simply don't consider it a big deal to have it with me and unless there are extenuating circumstances, I am not going to make it a point to make a deal of it.     Directly related to the point, if I was asked to unload it, no problem.  It isn't worth an argument at that point.   I can simply reload it when we are done.

  43. Last US primary smelter. 1. US Strategic Stockpile folks have taken notice. 2. Canada is the major supplier for a while now. 3. Supply is not permanently damaged. It is worrysome, even annoying, but not near as big of a crisis as imagination allows. By far the major impact is the local jobs. The real concern is rare earths.
