And of course we have Audie Murphy, America's most-decorated soldier, who became a Hollywood star as a result of his US Army service that included his being awarded the Medal of Honor. Would someone please remind me again how many of today's Hollywood elite put their careers on hold to enlist in Iraq or Afghanistan? The only one who even comes close was Pat Tillman, who turned down a contract offer of $3.6 million over three years from the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the US Army after September, 11, 2001 and serve as a Ranger in Afghanistan, where he died in 2004. But rather than being lauded for his choice and his decision to put his country before his career, he was mocked and derided by many of his peers and the Left. Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit to you that this is not the America today that it was many years ago. And I, for one, am saddened."

  8. 6.8, bad as I hate to say this, you are pretty far off base with that ascertation.  Until 1870, the Constitution of Tennessee related to the ability to bear arms read thus:   1796 version. Article 11 Section 26  "That the free men of this State have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defence."   1835 version Article 1 Section 26 "That the free white men of this State have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defence."   The 1870 version of our Constitution (put in place by the then Democrats) changed the location and intent of the Article dealing with Rights to keep and bear arms to: “That the citizens of this state have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defense; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime.” and has remained thus since that time.  In accordance with this change in the wording and intent of the clause, the TCA included for the first time the "intent to go armed" clause.  Both modifications were in fact, "Jim Crow" style changes to prevent the freed black slaves from having the ability to carry arms.  Never before had the legislature been invested with the power to regulate where a citizen could carry arms, and the carrying of a "club" was not a crime prior to this. Andrews v. State challenged the fledgling new arrangement, and the Supreme Court of TN found in favor of the Citizen's individual Right to keep and carry arms, chiding the legislature to hold to its charge of requiring a law regulating the wearing of arms (note, there is no prescription in the document giving the legislature power to regulate the keeping of arms, ONLY the wearing of them) and citing that "Any such enactment, however, “must be guided by, and restrained to this end, and bear some well defined relation to the prevention of crime, or else it is unauthorized by this clause of the Constitution." (Article 1 section 26), however, "Good Old Boyism" ruled for a long time in TN, if in fact it has ever gone out of style... From 1871 to 1989, Tennessee was a limited “open carry” state, limited to “army or navy” pistols but only if such pistols were carried openly in the hand, no holsters and no concealment for the average Citizen.  Becoming a special deputy or receiving a special police commission (these were costly in dollars and political capital as well) was the only method to carry a handgun that did not fit the “army or navy” designation. These commissions were also necessary if the individual wanted to carry the weapon concealed or holstered, and these were normally not recognized outside of the County of issue. In 1989, "May issue" permits were allowed via the legislature under the authority of County Sheriffs, the law did not require that Sheriffs issue civilian permit, it did however allow for that possibility. That changed in 1994, the "Shall issue" permit law was passed in 1994 ("the sheriff may issue such a permit..." to "The sheriff shall issue such a permit..."). In 1996, the change from Sheriff's Department authority to Department of Safety occurred, very akin to what we have now, standardizing  the process, and removing as much colloquial control as possible. The change to the structure of carrying arms was agreed upon by the Citizens, they ratified the changes to the Constitution in 1870, with a wink and a nod they accepted giving the legislature the power to control the carrying of arms. That power morphed into control of what once was a Right and is now (and I must agree with DaveTN here) a purchased privilege, and as always, it matters who governs, they have your Rights in their possession.

  25. Timthetoolman and I just did a night time pig stalk. Two were over a rise and couldn't see them but there stood one at the 50 yard mark. I waited until I heard Tim start to squeeze the trigger and I pulled 3 more a fraction of a second later. Needless to say the ol' girl dropped in her tracks with 4 300 blackout bullets in her. She had 3 piglets within a week of being born so we effectively took out 4 hogs so the owner should be happy. Pictures will be posted as soon as we hit civilization.

  27. Stealing is never funny. The Outpost has been a sponsor of this site as long as they've been open. Both corporately and as a family, they do a ton to support the shooting community. They've got a lot of nice stuff in there, and while they may not beat Bud's and the other big internet players all day everyday, I'd be willing to bet Chris won't willingly lose too many sales to them. And, they do it while paying the overhead it takes to let everyone put their grubby hands on stuff they're going to turn around and buy online. You don't have to shop there, but don't disparage them - especially as they put a pallet of .22lr out at mostly normal prices. You just can't make some folks happy.

  28. Bandit is nearly 6 months old. We had her spayed at the first of the month. She is still hell on wheels. She was 35 pounds on the 6th. She has mastered verbal and visual commands for: 'sit,' 'paw,' 'kiss,' 'lay down,' 'stay,' 'fetch rope,' and 'fetch ball.' We started about a month ago on the Frisbee, and from an even start she can catch it at 10 foot with no head start. With a head start and a launch off of something (couch, bench, etc..) she can catch it reliably 80% of the time. Her other games are obviously fetch, tug-o-war and a new one we started that I call rope jump. I will hold her tug-o-war rope at shoulder height and she will jump to retrieve it. This is her favorite game, and relates to her 'fetch rope' visual cue, I hold my arm out at shoulder length. I have been using this to transition into the Frisbee. The heathen is completely over her fear of dogs, and it is a nightly fight to keep her out of Bandit's kennel. As a matter of fact, after Bandit had her surgery earlier this month, Rebecca slept in the floor on a pallet next to her kennel for a week. Bandit thinks she is a lap dog at times, and has no problem cuddling with anyone who wants to sit on her couch. She even loves the cat, who fails to return all of that boisterous love. Even now, at her size, she thinks the back of the couch is her spot. Bandit is house broken and car broken. She LOVES car rides. She is friendly if shy around other dogs but after a few minutes she is more than willing to play. The only problem has been barking, but as the wife encourages it, I have resolved to praise her for barking at shadows at night. I am not thrilled about this, but it comforts the wife to know that nothing will sneak up on her. Including the dreaded Kroger sack in the back yard. Her arch-nemesis... Well and the chewing. We have lost to date a coffee table, three dining room tables and a computer desk. Pig ears? 3 minutes. Rawhide disks? 2 minutes. Monster rawhide bones? 15 minutes if she stops to play. The record so far goes to a pig femur. It took her an hour to have to tear it down to a 4" section and eat the knuckles. I am thinking of trying antlers, but I am loathe to pay $20+ and find out she can destroy one in a day. Bandit is a great dog and has been a great asset to our family.

  31.   As an LCP and Glock owner I'll go ahead and speculate that this pistol has nothing over an LCP.   Nothing except usable sites, a superior trigger, last round hold-open, and better recoil management.  It probably isn't inherently more accurate than an LCP but I bet if you handed it to someone who owns a Glock and asked them to shoot quickly they would have more fun and shoot a smaller group than with an LCP.  Again, I haven't even held one of these and I'm not even going so far as to say I plan to get rid of my LCP.  The LCP serves me for times when I am too lazy or my dress wouldn't allow me to carry anything else.  I would say however that I do see a market for this pistol and I would probably prefer it to the LCP if I carried a .380 as an EDC...Then again, if I were willing to go just a little bigger than the LCP but not as big as a G26/G27/G33, I'd probably just carry an LCR.  Then again my LCR is primarily fired by my wife.  I don't practice with it often and when I do I occasionally "short-stroke" it.  I would arguably be better off with a pistol with a more familiar trigger.  I'm rambling now but my point is that while this pistol isn't on my shopping list, I do see a market for the G42.  I would possibly consider one for a recoil sensitive shooter or anyone who wants a small pistol and believes the ability to easily put rounds on target is more important than ballistics.

  38. No, it is not now, but, the whole thing was begun that way.    It is simply a case now of legislators not wanting to relinquish control over anyone, (race, gender etc be damned, all are to be put under the thumb, the 132 vs. US), as their control has value (which can be haggled with lobbyist)...all the times I have discussed firearms issues with the legislators, the question of whether an act will reduce crime is NEVER discussed from their viewpoint, and it is the only thing that should matter.

  39. There may not be a "question" as far a you are concerned but my study of history surrounding property rights/law shows the that property rights and rights such as free speech or the right to arms have never been treated as equal and that business property has been subject to government regulations for almost as long as the country has been a country.  You can claim it shouldn't be that way if you wish but wishes won't change history.   And more important for today, the courts have already decided that these laws do not violate the 5th...businesses have brought suit and made those arguments and those arguments failed in the courts because the businesses that brought suite could not show how their property has been taken or their use of the property infringed.   Other than in their own minds, the state declaring that business property cannot forbid legally armed citizens from being armed does not violate the businesses rights and until a federal appeals court has an dissenting opinion or SCOTUS says otherwise and then the mantra of "property rights" is moot.   I'm not saying that "property rights" are not important because they ARE important. But I am saying that rights of property owners to own and use their property for private purposes are and should be and always have been afforded more protection than property used for business purposes - society (in the form of government) has the power, the legal authority and the obligation to regulate such property with the best interests of society in mind. To that end, if an armed citizenry is important to and in the best interests of society and the individual (and I believe it is) then government has an obligation to require business and public property to allow legally armed citizens on/in their property especially when such a requirement has little or not demonstrable impact/infringement on the rights of the property owner.  If any business can show me actual, quantifiable harm from being required to allow its employees/customers to be armed then I would come down squarely on the side of the business property owner but so far, not a single business has been able to do that.

  40. Got a great lab from a member here a couple years ago and evidently one of the neighborhood dogs got in the yard and then in her kennel and now we have puppies. 9 to be exact. Moms had severe mastitis so they have been bottle feed since week one. They are now weaned off the bottle and eat puppy food like a champ! 4 weeks old. Little young but ready to go. Quicker they identify your family, the quicker they will bond. 3/4 lab and maybe a little pit. 3 brown and one black male, 3 black females and one grey female. Most have a small bit of white on their chest and toes.

  43. Are you serious with that statement? There are many scenarios where not being armed could leave him a corpse for the LEO's to investigate. How many times have we seen video of armed criminals being successfully thwarted just by brandishing a firearm in self defense, or even shooting them in defense of life? If he's met by an armed killer at gunpoint, do you really think he will be able to physically defend himself against a bullet? If the company says he can't carry a weapon on their property, that probably will end his right to having any tools to defend himself with (club, bat, mace, etc). This logic is starting to sound like the arguments the left-wing uses to defend disarming folks. Don't worry, the LEO's are only 11-15 minutes away after you reach for your cellphone and dial 911. And that's if you're still alive to make the call. :down:

  44. My wife shoots with us quite a bit. She doesn't care for any semi auto. She carries an old flat latch model 37 Smith and Wesson, and can accurately fire a model 29 until you run out of ammo. She doesn't care for the feeling of moving parts as the gun fires.   My solution; let her shoot revolvers!   I actually prefer revolvers as well, but lately I have become more and more partial to the flat shape or a semi for carrying.

  45. There is no happy medium...  it's my business, I set the rules if you don't like the rules go find another job somewhere else :)  Turning HCP holders into a protected class is a bad idea.  It's always a bad idea to create a protected class, period.  It also violates core conservative principles.   Police officers are subject to trespassing laws just like the rest of us...  unless there are exigent circumstances you can ask a police officer to leave your building or your property unless they have a warrant, and they are legally obligated to comply.   At the end of the day you're right to carry is protected from GOVERNMENT interference...  Businesses 'violate' your rights on a daily basis already...  go and try to exercise your free speech rights at work and see how that works out.  As for your rights trumping mine...  that sounds a lot like a progressive view on the world...  that somehow the government can violate my rights just to protect yours?  Everyday on this forum we call BS on progressives that push how their safety is more important than our gun rights...   I'll stand up for your right to carry anytime and anyplace, until you start talking about passing a law that violates another person's rights in the process.   We shouldn't violate a person's right if there is a less restrictive alternative already available...  And in this case both as a customer and as an employee there are less restrictive alternatives....   As a customer, if you see a business which is posted...  go do business with somewhere that isn't posted...  your rights are intact, their rights are intact and the free market works.   As an employee, if you don't like the conditions of employment...  go get a job where the conditions of employment are more to your liking.  Problem solved.   Since there is already a remedy to your problem of being disarmed at work, there is no need for a law to fix the problem.  And both your rights and the business owners rights are left alone.   But, you can't be bothered to do that...  you want big brother to come in and make the big bad boss guy do what you want?

  46. I've been off the cable/sat train for more than 2 years now. I bought a decent digital antenna and mounted it in my attic, then trunked it into the main co ax junction box so it feeds all tvs in the house. Between that, Netflix, and hulu I'm good to go. Costs me a grand total of $19 a month. The trick on Netflix is to search though, cause the normal listings get old quick. There is tons of stuff. Sports ect. But searching is required
