Doctors office visit!!!! Yesterday I had an appointment to see the urologist for a prostate exam. Of course I was a bit on edge because all my friends have either gone under the knife or had those pellets implanted.   The waiting room was filled with patients. As I approached the receptionist's desk, I noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler. I gave her my name.    In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, "YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?"    All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at me, a now very embarrassed man.   But as usual, I recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, “NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS.”     The room erupted in applause!  DON'T MESS WITH OLD RETIRED GUY!!!!      Yea I am an old retired guy!!!!!!!

Medical distinction between Guts and Balls There is a medical distinction between Guts and Balls. We've all heard about people having Guts or Balls. But do you really know the difference between them?  In an effort to keep you informed, here are the definitions: GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the Guts to ask: 'Are you  still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere? BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your  wife on the butt and having the Balls to say: 'You're next, Chubby.'  I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically, speaking there is No difference in the outcome.  Both result in death.

  He said 55-4-110 ( c )   "( c )  (1) Except as provided in subdivision ( c )(2), for all motor vehicles that are factory-equipped to illuminate the registration plate, the registration plate shall be illuminated at all times that headlights are illuminated.    (2) Subdivision ( c )(1) shall not apply to any antique motor vehicle as defined in § 55-4-111( B )"   - OS

Yes you can. I stop people regularly for it. If they have a valid license and insurance, I let them go with a warning. TCA 55-4-110c

The type 94 almost seems backwards to me. Seems it might make more sense to charge a an additional $20 in order to shoot a buck and not charge anything additional to hunt does. I'm betting as many if not more hunters would go for that on the chance that they might have to pass on a nice buck. It would also be more friendly to financially disadvantaged hunters who are just trying to put some meat on the table.

better to ask forgiveness than permission I always say.

What's the goal we have as hunters? Do we want as many people as we can get buying hunting license and going into the woods to enjoy the sport? That's what I want. I don't care what you hunt with, I don't care what deer you shoot, so long as it's legal. Let's make it easy for folks to get into the woods. One price for deer hunting instead of 3 separate stamps and a type 94 for doe that TWRA wants us to take anyway. I don't see any point in making the process of killing any more difficult. We have a shortage of hunters, not a shortage of deer.

Anything I buy will have to be purchased on my phone from my treestand. Good deals in stores but I value my sanity more than a good deal. There's just too many dadgum morons out that day.

Would someone in the Belle Meade area please stop by Al Gore's house and kick his a$$ for me? :wall: :confused:

You boys need to keep up, it's called Climate Change now. ;)

I changed my post to include the TCA.

You know someone is dying to color fill that!

What incident could happen that would get new anti 2A legislation passed? The Sandy Hook event didn't get any passed and that's about the worst thing I can imagine.

But never relax. Now, while we ARE ahead, is when we need to be calling and emailing our representatives ad well as representatives in other states. Voice your pleasure so they know it. Too often we contact those that represent us when we are pissed. Do something different and let them know you are happy. Maybe, just maybe, we can get even more gun freedoms. Like legalization, without registration, of NFA items. Maybe a push to have SBRs and silencers removed from the registry all together followed by the rest.

Who ever tells their wife about these things? You explain if and when you get busted.

WALMART IS ONE PLACE I WILL NOT BE AT.

The best deal that I'm going to get on Black Friday is another piece of pecan pie.  If I'm really lucky there will be some folks who I don't see very often still hanging around to share it with.

NO!!!! We have a rifle season where "Centerfire" weapons are permitted. I have in the past and will in the future, push for a primitive season similar to PA. Sidelock Percussion and Sidelock Flint only. Move Inlines to the regular gun season!   Dave

I recommend Chip.

I watched a movie called Taking Chance Tues. afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone that hasn't seen it. True story of a 20 yr old Marine returning to WY...........in a casket.  It should be require viewing for every politician in this country.

There are a lot better 1911s out there for that price.

I feel sorry for people who live in New York, New Jersey, or Massachusetts the same way I feel sorry for women in Afghanistan.  Members of both groups are often stuck in their localities, seemingly powerless to better their lives.  And it is cause for celebration when a liberty-minded individual gets to break free from those places.  You know those scenes in Charlie Wilson's War where all the rich people are lamenting the lives of the Afgans under communism, and they just want to do something?  That is how I feel about those states sometimes.   Truly, with some of New York's draconian laws, it seems like a foreign country.  I would imagine that it must be depressing voting for change and watching the same old stuff get perpetuated. There is probably a sense of hopelessness that can really crush one's spirit in those places.  

:panic: where is the grip!?!?!?!?!?!?!

They make cheap ones that fasten behind the plate using the plate holes and shine over the top. Real easy fix and cheaper than factory replacement lights.

There's a reason they distribute those things for cheap in PDF form. Y'all have discovered it. I'm not so sure that $500 is too much to pay for the real autocad files. I drew my own floorplan in Visio, just to be able to do some of the work on my house.It was a lot of work, and doesn't include all the layers that would be required for permitting, especially if they require stamped drawings. Sometimes, you just gotta pay for professional services. 

I'll be out of town working too. I don't think Randy likes us much anymore...

Back in my younger years i loved snow, looked forward to it cause there was always good money to be made. I had a 1977 Dodge Ramcharger with many modifications done to it drive train wise. Lifted 6 inches , 15x35x15 monster Mudders with steel studs, Detroit Locker differentials that would pull equally much like a tank and the vehicle would go just about anywhere I wanted to to go. When it Snowed I would drive from Kingston Springs to Nashville and make pockets full of money pulling people up and over hills so they could get home. Then as years went by and winters quit seeing snow fun seemed to go away and price of gas to operate that machine was not fun either so it got a new home. I can tell anyone one secret about 4X4 trucks that I learned several times but because of the pulling power of that truck I was able to get out of the messes. The secret is for those of you that don't know. When driving on ice covered with snow or on black ice your vehicle with studs in tires will go well enough. It is stopping that becomes the adventure. They will not stop any better than a car with bald tires. I slid off the road many times to avoid hitting a car in the trunk lid in front of me but was able to drive back on the road again. Now with that said I am not sure how well these newer 4x4's pull and not even sure you can do any fancy stuff to them to help them.    These days I am old and well seasoned and keep my house well stocked with food for me and the mutt and now when ice or snow shows up I set in my warm house and watch the excitement on the road in front of my house when folks try to make a stop at the sign about 40 yards from the house at the bottom of a slight downgrade...................... :rofl:  :rofl:  :rock: 

I've done my fair share of actual "drafting", even had a class in college for it.  I've also used several different CAD packages and AutoDesk Inventor is by far the least friendly.  I keep threatening to get a t-shirt made for our tool designer.  It would read.... "I don't have tourettes, I use AutoDesk."  :)

"Buy once, cry once."

People around here can't drive well on dry roads.

I don't know what weather canal you watch but mine said cold not cool. IMO there's no such thing as nice and cool. There's nothing nice about being cold!!       EDIT: Meant channel, not canal. Spell check was having fun at my expense again.

If I don't tell about a new gun, there's no way I'd say anything about a few knives.

      Tell your wife???    "Shirley you jest!"

I want my knife back.......it looks a lot better with the sheath. :rofl:

  You know......, even just thinking about using the words "Dremmel" and "Geissele" together in a sentence sort of creeps me out.   :ugh:     I used a standard bastard-cut file to get the rough shape and then finished with an india stone.   When doing the file work, I did do a couple of test fits to make sure that I was only taking the minimal amount of material off the back of the hammer.  It really only took six or seven passes with the file to get the right about of metal off.  

I figured my winter driving skills were pretty OK. What I failed to account for was the driving skills of others and I ended up being the ball in a game of traffic pinball. Next time I'm just working from home.

I'm somewhat amazed how these parents who couldn't be bothered to raise or discipline their children all of a sudden become super parents immediately following the untimely death of the same children. If they had put about 1/4 the effort into raising their child as they put into all the publicity and T shirts and banners, etc. after his death, he would probably be around today. Or at least there is that possibility. 

How would they license a black powder/primitive (centerfire) season? We are already being licensed to death now. To hunt with bow...$28, Muzzleloader...$28, Centerfire (rifle, shotgun, pistol)...$28, Fishing/small game...$28, WMA permit/Non quota big game (to deer hunt on a WMA)...$21.........WE DO NOT NEED more licensing fees! Tennessee is one of the most expensive states to hunt. We're licensed to death here.   Oh...I have two H&R Handi Rifles. One in 45/70 and one in 7mm/08....they are not very accurate nor consistent on the range. Just my :2cents: !   Dave

Retiring and moving here from the North, those days are long gone! I'll enjoy the action on TV from the comfort of my recliner :wave:

I don't think "H&R" Single shot rifles could be considered "primitive" seeing that they are of modern manufacture. Leave muzzleloader as is or better yet....go "primitive"....   Dave

John Wells set mine up.  I went to his office in Brentwood.  An hour and a half spent, well worth it.   1.5 hours = 30 minutes Trust talk/set up + 1 hour of ancillary gun talk 

Chip Cain through email. Very helpful even when I wanted to make a change at the last minute.

Chip Cain (he's a member here) did mine. Was a very smooth and easy process and all was handled via phone & email. He also provides a ton of very useful information to go along with it. All of his responses to my questions were prompt and very thorough.

That sounds like a comprehensive kit whitewolf. Good for you.  :up:   Would the "combat gauze" you mentioned be the Quickclot impregnated gauze? Good stuff! We just started carrying it in our ER. Institutions, such as hospitals, are sometimes slow to change. It took me a bit of lobbying to get it on board there LOL.     [url=http://www.walmart.com/ip/Z-Medica-Quickclot-Sport-Pad-25-g-724264/34970287] Quickclot from Walmart[/url]   [url=http://www.chinookmed.com/cgi-bin/item/05168/-QuikClot-Combat-Gauze,-Rolled-%28Non-Military-Use-Only%29-] Quickclot Combat Gauze[/url]

No. It's already bad enough that inlines with scopes are allowed.

I wouldn't be for or against it, but I think there are too many "you can use this, but not that" regulations already.  There are plenty of options to use different weapons at different times as it is.  If anything, just make a longer overall rifle/muzzleloader/handgun season and keep the bow season and make it simple for anyone to understand.

A spam can pillow. :lol: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LH4VIUO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00LH4VIUO&linkCode=as2&tag=forgoweapo-20&linkId=YW4TWC22ZQGYEECS

The only negatives I have against the ARAK-21 is that they had some bugs(which have been worked out since they released the Gen2's) when they first released them, and the weight, the upper alone weighs in at about on average 5.5lbs(the weights vary pending on caliber and barrel length/profile). I've been following the ARAK very closely for the last year and have wanted one for some time, will be purchasing one likely this coming spring(ish).       It's 5.56, .300AAC, and they're releasing a 7.62x39 here soon. There are talks of others as well including a 6.8SPC, .22lr conversion, and a .308 variant for the larger AR-10 platform.       It's a bit expensive but let's be honest, comparing this to a Adams Arms is unfair. These are very much two very different beasts. Comparing this to another gun that would be fair would be the Bushmaster ACR, RRA LAR-PDS, Robinson Arms XCR, or FNH SCAR 16S. The aforementioned platforms all use AR ergonomics but use a different operating system that steers away from traditional AR platforms and even piston AR platforms. So by price comparison's sake, this stacked next to one of the previously mentioned weapons is VERY much affordable. Am I saying that it is the end all be all? No, merely stating that if you're going to compare it to another weapon, make sure it's a similar species.

I used to live in TX. Hogs travel in packs. If you are stand hunting a bolt action will do fine if you want to avoid carrying a second rifle. However, if you want to try to shoot more than one, get a semi auto. Or if you will be on the ground chasing them on foot. Sometimes the ones that aren't shot get pissed when their friend just got killed. If you are hunting for meat, a 223 will do fine on the smaller ones. If you are going for the biggest one you can find, get something that has tougher bullets available like a 7.62 (308, 300blk or 7.62x39) or 6.5 like a Grendel.   A 308 or 6.5 Grendel would both work good for deer too.
