How old are you? I'm hoping the answer is 10 or 12, because your decision making abilities seem to be on the level.

  Or by some illogical coincidence, someone posts it on the internet.  :ugh:

Also, i wonder if these guys are on tgo and read this thread, but just keeping quite hanging their heads in shame!

  I don't think anyone's critisizing anybody for standing in line to buy .22 if they are buying it for themselves to shoot, it's the ass clowns who buy up all the .22 and re-sale it at 3x more than they paid for it. I have some .22 that I bought several years ago that I probably wont shoot right now. I do plan to shoot some old tarnished .22 from various makers I have, some probably from the 70's and 80's but I will hold on to my newer stuff. I was critisized a couple of years back for buying that cheapo Federal bulk in the milk carton, some saying it wasn't good quality ammo. It might not bee the best but i'm glad I bought it now for just a few bucks, I bet there's alot of shooters that would like to have some of that poor quality Federal bulk now. Personally I haven't had too much problems with it, they all went bang when I shot them.  I guess as a (fun daydream) I wish I had about 50K or more of decent .22, I would go to the next gun show, put a sign on my truck and sell them for $2 per 100 count, limit 500 per person just to pi$$ off some of those swindlers. I would go inside the show first and find out who they are so I know who to refuse to sell to.

Its sad that these grown men, have nothing else better to do with their time than to sit at walmart waiting on 22 ammo. I know i could count at least 10 other things i could be doing with my time.

  Bingo !   The issue is not the standing in line, or in this case sitting in line :wacko: , it's the fact that these guys are making it tougher on those that buy it to shoot it.   Everytime I see that pic I have a nice little daydream of what it would be like to be just down the aisle waiting for the ammo to be brought out. Me, in a 3 point stance crouched and ready like a bull ready to be let out of the gate. Then as the 2 seated losers attempt to pry the chair out from under their sorry asses I coming screaming through with a spear (Goldberg style) and make them both suck some white walmart tile. Then quietly excuse myself :usa:

Me and Billy... oh, yeah...

The coolest part is, we were doing La Grange, and he gave me two solos... and after we were done, he asked for my business card. He said he's never had a steel before, and he wants to discuss me doing some things with them tomorrow!!

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."

Once again, FIND NEW FRIENDS!!!

We never once had a gun locked when I was growing up.  The gun wasn't a toy and my ass would get busted up if I messed with it.  And besides there was zero mystery with a gun so no need to pick it up and play with it when no adults were around.

They shoulda been at the range this weekend with me. Watching a boy who looked to 8 or 9 shooting next to his dad with a .22. Then take up with an AK, by himself, and start wearing some clay targets out. Too cool. 20/20 would have an epileptic seizure to see some TGO children I bet.

Rescuing a mutt from the pound is very noble and honorable, don't get me wrong. But, there's something special about getting a certain breed of dog that you've always wanted. I finally got the American Bulldog I always wanted about 10 years ago and she's been more special to me than any other dog I ever had. She'll pass eventually and once I get over the heartache, I'll go to the pound, rescue a mutt, and love it as much as I can. However, no other dog will compare and I won't even try "replacing" her with another from her breed.

With SOOooo many dogs at the pound, and rescue homes, why go buy a high dollar dog? I know it is what you want.

I see a ton of people here don't care about the law. Seems to be common place for gun boards to be full up with the criminal element. Y'all can rationalize all you want, but I don't have anymore time for the guy going 60 in a 45 or changing lanes in front of me without a blinker than I do the guy that stole the radio out of my car. As for the cop thing, how do all of you know he was trying to bait you? I like how you all just assume. Maybe he just has bad driving habits. If someone tailgates me, I don't care who they are, I just get out of the way. No wonder everyone has heart attacks and anxiety problems. Y'all are all just wound up about pointless stuff. Just try and relax every now and then. Don't let crap get to you to the point that you have to complain to strangers on the internet or try and blind people or whatever.

Before I get to that, she was in my office/man room helping me empty boxes of ammo into ammo cans. She picked one up and said something about a bullet. So I taught her cartridge, case, and bullet. 3 hours later the in-laws stopped by and her grandpa is a big gun guy too. I said "Sugar tell grandpa what those 3 parts are you learned today." She told him and he grinned from ear to ear. I was so proud that she remembered, but then again, they are sponges. That's why I have been teaching her for years and will continue to do so.   So back to the funny: We are in the office and she finds an old disposable camera of mine that I'd sat in the closet. She read the back of it, figured out what to do with it and started snapping away. She keeps telling me to smile, so I did. After about 3 minutes of this, she says "Dad! Where the heck to you preview the pictures?!" I died laughing and thought "Damn technology and old age!" and told her that you have to take them to the store and get them developed to see what the pictures look like....She said "Well that's ridiculous!" HA HA Gotta love'm. How in the world did we ever get by??? :rofl:

Bitter sweet, I imagine. Is the person who bought the going to be charged? I'd have a hard time taking the word of the person who claimed they were tossed in the river.

    Oh stop, how barbaric. These were just mis-guided boys out for a good time.   This Bush economy along with the republican sequester and their brutal treatment of our dear leader has got all our young children so worried about their healthcare and globull warming that they will do anything to occupy themselves. Silly store shouldn't be selling weapons of mass destruction anyway.  :drama:       :devil:

I think I see my old Remington 22 bolt action.  Say hey.................maybe thats why it has never turned up since it was stolen.  Its not even in the U.S. anymore!   The original Fast and Furious prequel.

This is one area I think we can learn from the fine folks of Saudi Arabia regarding how to punish a thief.  It quickly can turn a right handed person into a south paw with a swipe of a sword.   https://www.google.com/search?q=horse+thieving+punishment&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=thief+punishment+in+saudi+arabia&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

Get some!! Take note Obama. Also note, we have better guns.

  Hmm in the past week this user has started threads about 1) A ND in his home.  (This thread) 2) Being mysteriously tailgated by a cop. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/75306-tail-gating/ 3) Comptemplated illegally carrying a handgun. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/75281-carry-question/ and 4) His car being mysteriously damaged while drinking moonshine http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/75212-not-paing-attention/   I find these threads entertaining because this stuff isn't happening to me and I live far enough away from him to not be concerned with wayward bullets coming from his house or his drunken "friends" crashing his car into my stuff.  This dude is either a) a troll, b) So bad at making decisions that he should run on the democratic presidential ticket in 2016.  Or c) the unluckiest person to ever walk the face of the earth.    Seriously, RC3 if you are truly just a guy that is having a bad run of luck and making some less than good decisions, please for the sake of you and all of those around you, sit back contemplate your direction in life.  Ask yourself "is this a good idea?" and ask yourself that question often.  Seriously evaluate the people you are hanging out with.  Sometimes you need to cut some of the people in your life out for your own sake.  The things that you do over the next couple of years are going to determine what the rest of your life is going to be like, make wise choices!

It sounds like you have found all of my "old" friends. Good luck with them. ;)

I hope you let it be more of a learning experience than your aloof attitude about the situation comes across in your posts.

I believe Joe Biden is personally going to every Walmart and buying all the ammo and then putting it on the space shuttle

I'd like to thank the TGO mod staff for understanding when to and when not to lock a thread. AND for understanding the need to leave some meat on the bone and toss it to the jackals ever so often. We appreciate it.

There is no reason to follow that closely.   Ever.  I don't care who you are.  Leave room.  

I agree with all of that, just figured I'd be preaching to the choir talking about keeping guns away from kids here.  You are correct in assuming that they will figure 15-18 year old gang bangers into their figures as well.   My 4 year old gets a dollar if she finds an unsecured gun in our house and tells an adult.  We've tested her (unloaded gun with our direct presence and supervision,) though I'd never give her access to a gun at her age I feel confident she will do the right thing if she finds a gun.  Heck, she has a rubber band gun that she practices better muzzle discipline with than 1/2 of the guys I see at the range.  I find it ironic that my toddler who has been raised around guns would be much safer in that scenario than a kid who has been shielded from "evil guns" their entire life.

Seems to me that these guys are just your run of the mill ornery old farts.  We all know the kind.  They know everything, they are always right, they are experts on everything guns included, they can do things that they balk at anyone else for doing.  Most have plenty of money, more than they will ever spend but they seem to get some kind of thrill out of making a few bucks on this ammo just because they can.  Ammo scalping gets them out of the house and away from their nagging wives for a few hours.  Let's buy these geezers some golf clubs and one way tickets to Florida and we can have our ammo back! 

This looks like one of those shows that will make me want to throw things at the TV.

I'll post up a rundown like I did last year.         Section 1:  removes "switchblade knife" from the list of prohibited "weapons" (I hate that word.  No item is actually a weapon until possessed by a person intending harm)   Section 2:  Removes this line from Prohibited Weapons list.  "(8) Any other implement for infliction of serious bodily injury or death that has no common lawful purpose."   Section 3: Here is the current text.  It basically just removes "switchblade knife."    "(1) Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly sells, loans or makes a gift of a firearm or switchblade knife to a minor;"   Section 4:  Current text.  Again, just removes the blade length restriction.  "(a)  (1) A person commits an offense who carries with the intent to go armed a firearm, a knife with a blade length exceeding four inches (4''), or a club."   Section 5:  Current text.  This section actually adds verbiage to the current law.  "(3) A violation of this subsection (d) is a Class E felony."   Section 6:  Again, this one adds verbiage to the current law to make switchblade use during crime a more serious offense.  It will push current subdivisions e and f to f and g respectively.     Section 7:  Current text is as follows.  "(2) A knife, even if the blade is in excess of four inches (4''); provided, that it is not a switchblade knife; or"   Again, here we are just removing switchblade from the text.   Section 8:  Self explanatory.  Gives an effective date for if it all passes.   I hope that gives y'all a good understanding of what they are doing here.  I can post up the entire TCA if necessary or you can just use this link to see the code for yourself.   http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/tncode/

Having ran Field Trials and Hunt tests with retrievers for over 20 years, I am fairly familiar with buying, breeding, and training retrievers.  First off, goldens are fine pets, but as mentioned they do have some genetic problems which can be minimized by selective breeding.  Check the breeding for hip and eye certifications at a minimum.  Also the 'magic' time to get a pup is 7 wks.  After that they are simply learning 'dog' stuff.  The best dogs learn 'people' stuff early.   These folks may be of assistance: http://www.mtarc.org/contact.html

I appreciate all of the info. Got 4 KCI mags and 2 33 rd Glock mags at the gun show this past weekend! Double mag holsters arrived in the mail, s I am ready for the next USPSA event!

  There's a big misconception that every dog in shelters are mutts. Many people would be surprised at how many pure bred dogs can be found in their local shelter. If they don't have one in the breed you're looking for right now, they probably will soon. Many shelters will notify you if/when a specific breed arrives. If not, there are breed-specific rescue groups that work out of private homes that can help find your pure bred furry friend.   As Bob would say - Remember to have your pets spayed or neutered.

Check with these folks. You can get both a Goldie and a rescue at the same time.   http://www.rescueagolden.org/

Look into Golden Retriever rescue of TN. Give a great dog a chance to live a happy life.

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1101659" timestamp="1390785141"]Wow. No state universities, crush land grant college concept, no federal grants for anything, no local tax money for schools. Pretty rad. Reckon everybody can just home school all the professions we need, from 1st grade though graduate school level? Or keep up even the status quo by parents paying out of pocket from age 6 on? You think the dumbing down of America is epidemic now, just wow. - OS[/quote] The dumbing down of America is because of the intrusion of the government into education, more precisely the intrusion of the federal government into the running of local school systems. Most things taught in schools today are of little to no positive value and are not retained by the child in a useful manner. I do believe that homeschooling is the preferable manner to instruct children and that where it is insufficient a market based approach is superior to government controlled monopolies. With regards to post secondary education at state schools, the citizenry are on the hook at both ends for the money given directly to the school by the state and also for the student loans that are subsidized by the taxpayers. Student loans that are a major factor in the rising cost of tuition as there is no incentive for the schools to remain competitive on price because the student can just borrow their way into debt slavery. No matter how purportedly noble the aims, theft is theft and this is theft.

I didn't buy ammo at Walmart before the idiocy set in and I don't buy it now nor will I in the future.   If people have time to sit around and wait for it and others are stupid enough to pay far more per round than it is actually worth I say that's there problem and prerogative....seems stupid on many levels to me but whatever.

I used to run 8 KC daylighters under the back bumper of my 78 Ford 4x4. Someone would be riding my ass, one flip of the switch and the distance grows quickly between the cars. One night I did it to a cop who had been riding my ass for miles through some very curvy backroads at almost midnight. I didn't know he was a cop till I flipped the switch. We went to court because he wrote me a bs ticket over it. I told the judge they were offroad lights and hooked to my backup light switch and I had a mechanical failure, the judge looked him in the eye and told him if he hadn't been riding my ass for no reason then he wouldn't have been blinded. Case dismissed. If you think the cop is doing something wrong, call dispatch and tell them you have a car tailgating you and your scared to pull over. That usually gets them an ass chewing lol. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

The last mid-term Republican Primary in TN only saw a total of about 720,000 votes cast for Governor.  Haslam won that primary by only 130,000 votes in a 3-way race.  Haslam is pretty much a shoo-in for Governor this year, so there won't be a lot of attention because of the Governor's race.  Voter turn-out will likely be lower than 2010. There will only be two main candidates on the ballot for US Senate in the Republican primary this year; Alexander and Carr.  Alexander is spending money like water because he knows that he is not popular with interested voters. Alexander is also worried about Democrats voting for Carr in the Republican Primary to defeat him.  He SHOULD be worried about that.  I encourage Democrats to do this as they have NO chance of winning against a Republican in November.   So, it is entirely possible to defeat Alexander.  He knows it, or he wouldn't be spending so much money this early.    Even if Alexander wins, a hard-fought campaign will benefit us.  When politicians know that a lot of voters are unhappy with them, they tend to 'change their spots'.  Alexander has been voting much more conservatively since he found out that has a campaign on his hands.  For that matter, Corker has been acting more conservative as well.

So Wal-Mart is selling used chairs as new?

I bought two CVA's a couple of years ago at the 127 sale. Both were loaded. Cleared the in-line ok, bore was shiny new. The Bobcat, on the other hand - 3+ inches of ramrod indicated the a double load, no breech plug, of course. I pulled the first bullet, but broke an extractor in the other. So I flushed out the charge with water, let it dry, poured in a small charge of BP through the flash hole, and shot the whole mess out.   Ended up with 2 functional smoke poles for cheap. :)

First car. A 1962 Ford Galaxy 500.   A 4 door tank with a 390 police package. AM radio, and later an 8 track. I got this old family car in the spring of 1970.   I sure miss it.

Come down the road to Mt Juliet, I will fire it for ya.

Posted on about 8 different gun pages on facebook. Its their right to do that, and this is a capitalistic society, but its my right to share a picture of someone in a public place.
