So I got pulled over this morning for 58 in a 45. I handed the officer my license and HCP. He asked if I was armed and, if so, where it was. I told him I was and where the gun was. He didn't even blink. Ran my license and only gave me a warning. He was very professional the entire time and didn't freak out when he found out I was armed. It was a younger officer (my wife said he looked about 12  :pleased: ).    This Metro officer was very polite and professional the entire time. As good an experience as you can hope to have when getting pulled over for speeding!

  Oh yeah! I was very happy. My wife now things a HCP is a magic "get out of ticket" card.    Even if he had written me the ticket, he was professional and polite. Officers get a hard time when experiences are bad - I figured people need to know that at least some of them are doing things right!

The golden rule. Do unto others as you have others do unto you. Works every time.

  Where's the fun in that?

It'll be 12 more days till I see it so don't spoil it! Even though I've seen the other versions and read the books. Lol! It's the Christmas tradition, me and the wife wake up around 9am. Go out to a movie. Eat Italian at Buca Di Beppo. Come home and go back to sleep. This year, its Smaug and rigatoni!!!!

Is freaking awesome....saw the HFR 3D version....only thing I hate about these movies is waiting a year to see the next...

^ Nice buck I shot this one today: Rain quit about 7:30 and I left the rundown, critter infested, old house I holed up in and I went to slippin' through the woods. Eased out a ridge and peeked over the edge and saw a doe picking around on a little flat about 75yds below me. Hid behind a tree and glassed with the binoculars and could see another deer behind her. Waited a minute and he got clear, I leaned around the tree and a Federal Fusion .223 to the boiler room was all she wrote for him. Fun hunt. I don't get to do it much but the wind and wet ground was right for it today. Thanks to my Dad for teaching me how to slip around in the woods chasing squirrels.

Wait, we have non TN residents on this forum?! Infidels!! 

Yep, big shout out to David for the "members only ammo". I know he caught some heat for not selling to others that saw the ammo being sold. But he stuck to his guns to support us!!! And that's why I only buy from him

without killing myself.    Crazy cycling tricks.   Everything is truly impressive but the trick at the 3:45 mark is super cool to me.    [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhabgvIIXik [/media]

I celebrate Mr Mandela because after his release from prison he could have become a bitter, vengeful leader of a million man killing machine exacting punishment on his perceived enemies. Yet he chose peace. People who love money and material things can weep over the loss of prosperity, but I celebrate the humanity. I have mentioned this before somewhere. In the very near future when America becomes a majority of brown people, will you want your neighbors treating your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in the matter that history teaches us that their ancestors were treated by America? Keep in mind that not everyone is seduced by gold and trinkets.

Well, we know what this is leading up to...

You know, guys, if by some miracle the GOP runs say, a Paul/Cruz ticket or similar, I think you're going to be amazed at just how conservative this country isn't.   - OS

I think right now I am just going to say a Prayer for the young man in the hospital and his family. From what I have understood from the news releases the shooter was going to shoot the library teacher and that was his target and the young man in the hospital confronted the shooter to try and stop him when he was shot and another person was also injured but not seriously and prayers will go out to that child and their parents............. :(

  Duh. If it was an AR, he would have killed hundreds

This bobcat watched the hunter gut the deer and then came right up to have a snack.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u65rvJfc6iM   Was either very hungry or one of the mildest tempered bobcats I have seen.

Here is the pin I got. I don't know who made this, but if you see this please send me an email, I'd like to see about getting a few more. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

What's .22 le?  At that price I hope it means "lightly explosive".

I don't have one myself. I've got a friend in KY who's got one (don't know the model) and he swears it runs like a champ.

My wife literally JUST made me watch it! I don't know what happened with their cameras, but things got a little blurry toward the end for me. ;-) I'm similar to 380. My request would have been a yellow 97-98 Ferrari F355 GTB. :-D

OP - Good to meet you and thanks for bringing the 22LR ammo. It will go to good use with grandkids shooting bulleyes over the holidays.

The now deceased Nelson Mandela, the ANC and the present government of South Africa are far from being fair, honest, or kind... They are, in fact, murderous, corrupt and  brutally unkind...  The white apartied government of South Africa on it's worst days was never as corrupt or brutal as what they have now; the only difference is that now, their oppressors are black....   South Africa will straighten up its problems when the people of south africa get rid of the demagogues, rogues, and psychopaths who are systematically deceiving, murdering, oppressing and leading its citizens around like children...When the black south africans decide that their white neighbors are not the enemy and realize that the present apparatchiks of government are responsible for their plight; and when they actually take some steps to clean that problem up; they will make some real progress toward rebuilding south africa...   I liken the problem in south africa to the problem here in the good ole usa in lots of locations; principally in the crime ridden, ratty bluer big cities where machine politics rule and the citizens are voluntary serfs... The south africans are more "real" serfs than they are citizens and free men... The difference is that in south africa they are using police power and the bayonet to keep them that way....The truth is that white folks aint doin this; black demagogues and would-be dictators are doin it... There is simply no way ya can pin the present problems in south africa on "whitey"...Black majority rule and "one man one vote" has been in place in south africa for over 23 years (...since the early nineties, i think...)...   I dont think we can learn a dammed thing about race relations, how to run government, or how to get along together as fellow citizens from thugs like those currently running south africa or zimbabwe other than how not to do it...   leroy

Finally got my 300 Blackout build done, after ruining one upper and having to buy another from trout. Apparently the barrel extension pin needed a good whack with a hammer and punch. It was contacting the threads on my barrel nut and malformed them, which then malformed the receiver threads. Thanks a lot AAC.

Sorry Shawn, I haven't been over to this thread for awhile. I have a FoxPro Spitfire, and the MoJo twirling rabbit decoy.

The way I see it Ted, the only connection is the school. Beyond that there are no connections but the News medias need to try and make the story bigger than it really is so they try to connect the dots with dots that don't exist in this incident. This was a single target issue and not a mass shooting situation..............I just wish when the shooter found out the teacher had fled he would not have shot anyone and just fled also. Has anyone heard about the condition of the young girl that was shot? I'm still praying for her and her family.

If the bullets you shoot don't go into the target sideways at hunting distances, and will shoot in an acceptable group. I wouldn't give much thought to twist rate.

You gonna have any other parts that are the same color?

Same here. I actually killed my first buck ever right in this same spot with my Pappaws old 30-30. What a glorious day that was! No blind back then, sitting on one of those swivel seats that ratchet strap to the tree and it was raining. Didn't care one I had my first rack on the ground!

The part that summed it up best for me was at the end of the article where it said that the bill would cost 1 million dollars to enact in order to spend the 500,000!

Yep, when you attempt to deal in stolen property you have to interface with criminals. Sometimes those criminals will try to rob you. Stupid points all around.

Do you sell such pens? I could possibly be talked into one.

They are not gun free because the guy out side the bars or in the lobby of the jail has a gun. You would have to be referring to the inside of a jail cell only

Long as the owners and employees keep their ignorant liberal politics out of the rest of the functioning states, I hope some of those businesses move here or to likeminded states!

  I don't post this, anymoe...   :rofl:

"Please, delete me, let me go..."

NO, WE WILL POST AND MAKE IT LAST FOREVER!!!

Cool. I would guess a lot of pain and probably some broken bones were involved in learning how to do that.

  o...... k.......   Our good old USA is not, has never been, and will never be perfect... the reasons for that are, well... us. humans.  BUT you will find few .. narry a single joe here who will take the side that the United States "picked a fight" with Japan ... like some school kid who didn't know better....    I should leave it there,...          Some fights you pick.  Some fights pick you.  When the latter is inevitable, making no preparations for it would be evidence of either lack of brains or lack of the will to live.  We showed neither of those traits... and in our actions before WWII, we hoped to avoid as costly a war as it turned out to be.       Dad gummit... .  look:        Mandela said what he said about the USA because: 1) he could... you can say whatever you want when your words do not command actions - and therefore have very little chance of producing consequences. 2) he didn't think one sovereign country should be able to exert military pressure/action within the border of a seperate sovereign country - technically unprovoked in order to preserve its (the invading country's) stability (seeking to enhance/maintain national security and economy).      I struggle with my own thoughts about us and Iraq -- thoughts that I cannot know enough to substantiate, so I have to just let it be history... unfortunate for our brave soldiers who were lost or wounded - and their families who have lost loved ones and unfortunate for the countless thousands of innocent civilians who were maimed or killed in the middle of it.  The bottom line is... I can't know for certain whether it was all necessary or not - doesn't mean I don't wish that I could know.        In theory, I agree with Mandela.  In practice, his line of thinking was full of utopian cow patties.  I would be a complete and utter pacifist if I thought it would actually bring and sustain peace.  I am of the opinion that pacifism will only bring peace in limited quantity and for a limited time.  Total pacifism is essentially a surrender - a gift of power to some psychopathic person or group who will laughingly take it, smile at you, and feel big about themselves knowing that "you" are at their mercy.  What they do with that power is unknown; what is known is that the pacifist will have no say in it.        In South Africa - during the end of Apartheid, the amount of power Mandela wielded was inexplicably large.  He was able to extend "forgiveness", and resist vengeance precisely because he wielded the power to incite massive civil unrest and anhilate the entire country.          While great wisdom can come from an old warrior.  We have to be full of care to evaluate their words in light of their outlook and current goals.  Mandela wanted peace.  Al ***** hadn't flown planes into his buildings or threatened to terrorize his citizens indefinitely.          In the late afternoon of 9/11/01, I was called out of a meeting in a small town in rural South Africa.  I was informed of the attack... by the time I knew - both towers were already down.  There was no danger.  There was no "war" declared from Al ****** to SA.  That is the difference.  I don't know how Iraq ranked on our threat assessment, but it aparently did, and we acted.  

Good. 2 less thugs.

The one that lived is charged with first degree murder. Hope it sticks.

A portion of the Declaration of Independence:   " . . . Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. . . . "

I don't have time for assholes like that.  Zero posts, retaliatory feedback = BAN.

  Generally, if they're still on the tree, they ain't quite perfect for eating plain. The ones that fall by themselves are the primo ones. Seriously.   - OS

Two legged coyote hunt... Sounds good. Now I need a wounded "fawn" call. I'm thinking its going to sound like: "I'm soooooooo drunk".
