  2. I just wanted to remind everyone that no matter how busy we all get in our daily lives or how crappy our day has been to never forget to hold your loved ones close to you and hug them every day and tell them how much you love and appreciate them. This goes for our friends and buddies too!    I want to NEVER regret again not saying something or giving someone a well deserved hug or thank you. So please be kind to one another!   With that said Happy New Years to everyone and I pray that hope that 2015 brings success, hope, faith and love to everyone!

  3. How many of you remember Randy Rayburn, the local restaurateur that championed hard to keep "guns out of bars" in Tennessee back in 2009 when the State was trying to decide whether or not to allow Handgun Carry Permit holders to go armed where alcohol is served for on-site consumption?  He pretty much was the media darling of the anti movement and penned at least one editorial in the Tennessean.   Well, the Tennessean has a nice article today about the closing of his flagship restaurant, Sunset Grill after 27 years of business.  According to the article, business began to fall into a slump for Randy in 2007 and Sunset Grill just never quite recovered from it.  I guess that explains why he had so much extra time on his hands two-years later to be a pain in the ass to legally armed Tennesseans.   While the closing of his oldest Nashville property likely has nothing to do with his decision to be an anti-gun prick, karma does seem to be getting a running start in 2015...   http://www.tennessean.com/story/life/food/2015/01/01/sunset-grill-closes-year-run-nashville/21148391/

  7. All true. And none of that will change one whit unless the people of Maryland do something about it. Whether by making their desires known to their legislators (ha!) or through more direct and forceful means against those doing the violating. You and I sitting here in TN aren't going to do a thing to make a meaningful difference. So I choose to exercise right to make a good choice to stay the hell away from there.

  9. I had family that lived in Maryland and when they passed all those laws they put their homes up for sale and moved south. Two families came to Kentucky and one moved to Extreme southern Indiana close to the ones in Kentucky. They absolutely refused to live in what one of them referred to a Hitler State................. :up: :usa:

  17.     Beat me to it ...         Not necessarily, there are moments of weakness when you temporarily succumb to the fallacy that there's something that needs changing about your behavior, thankfully lethargy usually then takes over ...         Always cultivate low expectations from others, that way people are never disappointed in you, and are sometimes pleasantly surprised ...

  18. Thinking about 70 years ago, January 1st. 1945. My dad was hit in the back, left shoulder with a piece of metal he thinks from a German morter explosion behind him, maybe an small mm.artillary round. He was taken off the front, out of the knee deep snow and sub-zero temps in Belgium and sent to an evacuation hospital in France for a few weeks of recovery. No vitals were injured, he made a full recovery and returned to the front and awarded the Purple Heart.

  29. That's actually not a universal truth depending on your denomination and how you believe. Catholics COG and COC believe that. Others don't. I've also not found anything in the bible to lead me to believe it's the unforgivable sin

  43. Well, in the realm of ATF's "administrative law", you've got diametrically opposing "letter determinations" to individuals -- and unless ATF actually decides to enforce any of them by actually prosecuting an end user, none of them mean jack in the real world.   I would think that before they had even a wobbly legal leg to stand on to do that, as long as these various braces, stabilizers, cheek risers and etc are allowed to be legally sold and attached, the agency would need to publish a general official ruling regarding the matter of actual usage.   While "ignorance of the law is no excuse", I can't imagine that any court would determine that I could be convicted on the basis of an individual letter the ATF sent to you. After all, those letters are not written for public dissemination -- and we only even know about some of  them because the recipients choose to share them.   Of course, ultimately, the case would have to be decided on the merits of interpreting the actual USC on the matter, as was US vs Thompson Center Arms. That one turned out well for the firearm community, significant lessening ATF power to selectively prosecute folks for nitpicking matters of firearm construction and parts possession, and I would expect similar results from a case arising from how one merely chooses to operate an otherwise lawfully constructed firearm.   The only clear cut thing the ATF could do that might stand muster is to reverse it's original decision on these braces period -- and declare them stocks. But pretty hard to put that cat back in the bag, what with SIG being such a big player if nothing else, plus there's still the "disabled person" issue, however rare in actual practice that sort of usage may be.   - OS

  47. I ask because many years ago I shot an old county street sign from about 10 feet away. The .25 just made a dent whereas a .22 went through it, so I doubt it would penetrate a skull. True that the bones behind the eye are very thin, but I wouldn't want to bet my life on hitting a target like that under stress...but that's just me.
