I have spoken with Pro Tech this knife may be a lot cheaper than I first thought, When I know the final price I will let you all know, we will need 50 orders to make this happen and if it does happen we will be doing several more. I have a fantastic relationship with the President of Pro Tech after speaking with him on the phone the knife will be all black aluminum handled with a laser anodized TGO Logo on it, Dave the President of Pro Tech came up with that idea and it will make the cost lower. I will not be making a dime off of this so what I charge you all will be what I pay Pro tech and then the cost of shipping it to you all I encourage you all to get on this as this will build to a great money saving relationship for all of us with one of the best American companies on the planet, I have told them it will be around 6 weeks before I have everyone's money so you have plenty of time to save up. They will be donating a knife for TGO to raffle with every run we do and will also be making TGO David a special one of kind knife for free for letting us do this, these guys Rock you all need to get on this!

  What is wrong with you fellers? : )  Preserves are for biscuits

    Should turn up at one of those buybacks and insist that the cop operating it go through a background check :)

I've joked repeatedly that Sig must have an entire department devoted to giving the ATF the finger. I'm not sure it's a joke anymore. I am seriously getting the impression that Sig has a hardon for the NFA and is going after the idiocy of the ATF's rulings pretty much full bore. When I refer to their clanking balls, I mean it. Sig is showing a hell of a lot more testicular fortitude than the NRA, GOA, SAF and other so called gun rights organizations by directly attacking the NFA. I got nothing but love for them and pray they have continued success against the ATF.

I got the OK from David, To keep this knife affordable and to make this work all knifes must be the same configuration. I will update this thread as this progresses. The knives will be kept under $250.00 shipped I am thinking the Godfather will be the best model for this and to keep it affordable, If any of you are interested please post in this thread, I am not sure of a time frame but it will be after the new law goes into effect so when you get yours you can legally carry it!

To me the TGO logo on this with "Knife Freedom 7/1/2014" bellow it would be awesome

  Would you rather the .gov tell you you can't do something or a private business tell you they don't want your business if you choose to do something?

If that's the case, this could potentially be my kind of knife.  :cool:

If any previous administration followed the constitution, we would not have gun laws.

And, if they turn purple when you pinch them, they will turn you into a Democrat.

I find that hard to believe. We all know that open carry is an open invitation for all to abscond with your firearm and kill everyone in sight. I know this to be the case because I read it on the Internet.

Excellent point. Most of the folks who are against OC act like they have 20 years under their belt as a Space Shuttle door gunner and that is the minimum required by the state to get a permit. In fact, the training requirements by the state require about an hour of range time, and about 7 hours or watching videos, trying not to fall asleep while an instructor explains, poorly, the difference between single and double action, and telling lies. Your permit is in no way a representation of your competence with firearms. It means that for one hour you were able to handle it without killing yourself or the guy next to you and were able to hit a rather large target that is not moving and placed as far as 15 whole yards from you. Congratulations, Jack Bauer, you're a trained killer now.

Not a story about someone else's reloads but about a guy I met shooting his own at Norris. He had been having some problems with his AR so I offered to take a look. When you pulled the trigger it would not fire, almost like it was on safe. I looked down inside the receiver and there was a primer that was in the bottom. I didn't think anything about it and shook it out. I told him he had a primer under his trigger and that was causing the problem. Knowing brass primer pockets can get loose over time I asked how many times the brass had been reloaded. He said he had no clue but he has been using the same brass for a long time. Next I asked him how much powder he was using. His reply, I swear, was "to the top". I asked what he meant and he said he would fill the case to the top of the case mouth then seat the bullet. At first I thought he was joking but he was serious. Then I thought that maybe the measured charge came to the top so I asked how much it weighed and he said he doesn't weigh the powder, just fill the case up. I told him he is lucky he hasn't hurt himself and he acted like I had insulted him.   When I got there I had my wife throw a bunch of clays on a bank past the 100 yard line. As I was shooting I guess I hit a couple of this guys clays. Same guy got extremely upset and yelled at me about shooting his clays. I apologized and put a stack of clays on his bench. Then he had to complain about the walk out there. I was on my crutches that I use to walk and he said I had no clue what kind of inconvenience it was to have to walk 100 yards. I chuckled and left.

I will eat a mess of all three given the option.   I grew up pretty poor, you didn't complain as long as there was food in front of you.

Grits, eggs fried in sausage grease all cooked in my Nans cast iron skillet and if you show up with a bagel instead of biscuits no tellin what could happen.

I fear there may be some other unintended negative consequences that appear only after this is a done deal.....as someone mentioned before...it may lead to more places being posted and that is just ONE negative consequence...but a big one none the less.

PFC Jackalope can do way more damage with his car than a pistol, and we let him drive on base.... 

Got off work today and decided to hit the woods. I setup along a fence row that separated 2 fields.and started calling. I called for 45 minutes to an hour before he came strutting in. He never once gobbled but seems I'm used to that this year. I actually heard him spittin and drummin before I seen him. I made a 10 yard shot and he went down. Had to shoot through a grown up fence but I knew it wouldn't be a big issue. he weighed 21 pounds had a 9.25 inch beard and 1 1/8th inch spurs. Not the longest beard this season but had nice spurs.

Very nice! Congrats

I'm in, I too am not a big fan of autos but do think it will be a great way to mark our new found freedom. The logo and marking to commemorate this is a great idea, Thanks for doing the legwork Willis!

Get different local tyrants.

Pro Tech makes a Single OTF known as the Dark Angel, I will be getting prices on both and it will either be the Godfather or the Dark Angel depending on the deal they offer us

  UPS Sure Post, but ammo doesn't get sent that way, it's UPS or Fedex ground all the way.   - OS

When dry, does the paint have a noticeable 'texture' to it?  Just wondering.  My imagination has been working on the seeds of what I think would be a fun project - a single shot shotgun modified to make a good truck/trunk gun.  I have been thinking I would want a durable, low gloss, low cost and easily touched up finish so that paint sounds like a possible option.

Blah!

  You didn't.

Capt Sailer. Welcome to Tennessee and the TGO forum.  I believe you will enjoy both.

It was on my playlist to get amped up before going out.

Cheese grits with bacon....

   Some folks need to have one blow up in  their face

Again with the Yankees. Lmao. I'll admit it. When I first tried grits I really thought someone was trying to feed me sand blasting material. Lol. But with some experimenting and a nice helping of preserves and butter I really came to enjoy them. I've never tried cheese grits but I guess I should because cheese makes everything taste better. I have to vote for cream of wheat though. That's what I grew up eating every winter morning as a kid and I've always liked them.

Wiffle ball bat is cheating.    Be a man and get a 1/2" dowel.

Geography fact of the day: Tennessee doesn't share a border with South Carolina.

My wife hates grits though. Grandma would make shrimp and grits at get togethers back home, and my wife couldn't choke it down. I think Yankees have a genetic predisposition against grits. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No besmirching - just facts.

Three in the trap still kicking, and two taken out with an old tennis racket yesterday afternoon.

At least somebody didn't destroy a nice pre-lock. :-/

This can only mean one thing....less than one week until the first yellow jacket thread :)

Maybe your pants are too tight. Just say no to skinny jeans.

I would suggest you make the short drive up to Union City and visit Dixie Gun Works. You'll likely be overwhelmed with their selection, but they should be able to provide all the information and then some you'll need to make an informed purchase. They'll have everything you need or want to go with it as well.

When you have to ask or be granted permission it is no longer a right.,.

  Sure, Ruger factory mags come in 5, 20, 30. Ain't cheap though. Prefer the 20's myself, both in Mini and AR really, just seem to balance better, less obtrusive, all that. Always have some 30's though, just for that next firefight and all. :)   Haven't seen any good sales on them in a while, CDNN generally has them,. has all three in stock now matter of fact:   http://www.cdnnsports.com/magazines.html?brand=2118&caliber=39   And yeah, there ain't nuthin but the factory ones you can totally rely on.   - OS

Don't worry about it. We would be the 31st state to allow it. Dodge City and Tombstone haven't been in the news lately. http://www.opencarry.org/?page_id=103

Just emailed Sen. Mike Bell. I'm proud to say that he is my Senator for the state of Tennessee. I've emailed him before about potentially helping us repeal some firearms laws in the future. Now, I realize that it is a long shot in some cases for some laws, but we have to start somewhere and Bell may be interested in doing so. So email him your support!

I have been able to find decent loads with Power Pistol, Titegroup and Unique.  As for W231, I haven't been able to find that for several months.
