PLEASE DO NOT PUT HER ON CRAIGSLIST. Please. Let me contact some people and see if I can find a rescue for her. What city do you live in?

No, no it's perfectly legal to buy beaver; just don't try to rent it.

She's going to be ok. I already have things lined up! The network moves fast when you know the right people. I will update everyone with status and pictures as we go. I've already got a crate donated for transporting her to my house. We've got a room I am going to get ready for her and her spay is the next step.

  I am pretty sure it is illegal to sell beaver.  I hear about vice arresting women all the time for selling beaver... and men for trying to buy beaver...

My daughter asked me yesterday if we could go shooting, this only took 21yrs to happen :).   Her only experience with a gun prior to today only involved a squirt/nerf/bb gun. :rolleyes:   So I pulled out 3 pistols, ammo and range bag and went out into the backyard, started off with a bodyguard 380, shot several mags with/out the laser, then broke out the 9mm's, first was a Beretta 92F, then a PX4 storm compact, shot a couple 100rds, her favorite was the 92F, as we were finishing I told her to sit still because I needed to go back to the house to get something, as I return she was puzzled by me holding a rifle and a mag, I was in hurry up training mode as it was getting dark, I told her to shoot 10rds one at a time (not in the video), then had her rotated the selector, the giggling made me remember my first time shooting FA.....best hour I've spent in a longtime...   https://youtu.be/ZWPSUnW9d2U  

I've already contacted 2 rescues, I have a lot of friends in the dog training/rescue world. Please, please do not post her on Craigslist. I'll come get her if I have to. I am confident I can find her a home if I have a few days to do it. A safe, loving home.

  Sweet Jesus if someone did me that I'd be hard pressed not to return in kind....

    don't worry the bag of dog shit is already in the mail  :devil:

My wife was just yelling at me to get out of the bathroom. She said, "I need to get my makeup on so we can go...did you hear me? You better not just be sitting in there talking to your little toilet friends!!!" Guess I should scroll the forum from the living room more often. Heh heh...

Yes....yes there is.

I rediscovered Archie Bunker on Youtube.  Could you imagine this show in primetime today!  The things he says are priceless for todays times.

  This is the only objective he's after with any EO on guns.  He knows that he can't get more without Congress making changes to existing laws in the USC or CFR, but he needs to get the anti-gun groups happy enough to write checks for Democratic candidates (or run ads against Republican candidates) in the 2016 election cycle.    I doubt anything with real enforceable consequences that impede gun ownership or sale will come from this.

I hate that SOB. That is all.

My dad and I went up to Watauga Lake today for a bit, till the wind blew us off the lake. Ended up catching 4. Broke off a few as well. Had a blast! Any time fishing with the ol man is time well spent...

I feel that may be some personal bias showing through there, as honestly I have the same, but reversed. I have stated before I think the SR series guns aren't as well finished internally, showing rough machining, etc, and I feel the M&P grip is much more natural, while the gun is more aesthetically pleasing inside and out. I also hate that little bump/vertical ridge on the fingertips when holding an SR. I find the trigger on the 4-5 examples of the SRs I've shot to be nothing to write home about. I will definitely admit they are more consistent than M&P triggers which used to be all over the place. It seems Smith has both improved the design while tightened QC in the last couple years. However, I have always picked out specific M&Ps with good triggers from the get-go, while passing on some with too much grit or a heavier or inconsistent break. The SR wins on tactile reset, stock vs stock triggers. It's funny how our bias changes our sales and our perception. I like the M&Ps, among others, and know many more shooters that have and love them vs SR series guns. Off hand I can think of 3 SR series owners in my regular circle of friends who have kept theirs (meaning they liked them enough not to dump them quickly) while I can name 8 at church alone that still have and love their M&Ps. I spend a lot of time at gun stores, and have spent time behind a counter as well. I definitely have not seen the "always buy an SR after holding an M&P" that you do. In fact, the reverse. Of course, I have to point out that that may be my bias coloring my perception. I am at least admitting that. We all make our decisions based on our personal bias. Tens of thousands of each make's models being sold prove that their designs are speaking to someone. For the sake of the folks cranking out the guns on the production floor, I hope this ugly bastage of a pistol speaks to plenty of folks. It is speaking to me... yelling, actually. Yelling "Run away!" Haha! Maybe it's speaking in tongues and will be interpreted differently by others.

Speaking of which, does anyone know when stupid, dirty, inbred redneck season starts?  I hear that we can use Mountain Dew and EBT cards to bait them this year.

I used to coon hunt and I always enjoyed working the dogs.  That being said the world would be a better place if half of the coon hunters that I ever met fell off in a sink hole somewhere and disappeared forever.  That's typical coon hunter mentality to dump their dog out somewhere and shoot it if it comes back. 

  I really don't like you right now. lol

My dog will think he has a secret admirer :)

Oh damn, that one, Yes you can see elk there. Plan to go early or late. The cooler it is the better, and if its overcast that can help too. So that will take about 2 hours from downtown Gatlinburg to the Tower at Royal Blue. I would definitely look at driving into the Cataloochee Valley in the GSMNP. Its essentially like Cades Coves with Elk and less people. You drive out to I-40 head East to exit 20, go right, .2 miles turn right on Cove Creek Road and then follow that for 11 miles and it will dump you into a valley with mowed pasture fields and high chances of seeing Elk. I would go there 10:1 vs going to the tower at Royal Blue. One main reason is Royal Blue is a WMA and it will be hunitng season PUBLIC hunting. The other is I feel pretty strong that you have a higher chance of seeing Elk in Cataloochee. And if you don't you've seen some of the prettiest scenery in the GSMNP

Used the Kindle gift card and these came in today. Thank you santa! Sent from behind the anvil

Oh Man that looks like a love-child  made from a Steyr and a Walther that just had some nasty sweaty sex.  I like Ruger and there aren't many guns I think are ugly , but this is one UGLY gun. That grip looks very uncomfortable too.

One year today, which if someone wouldve told me Id be married when I first enlisted I wouldve punched them in the face. One buried Ford and meeting my old EOD PL to sell an AR got my wife some flowers and a Sig P239. She got me a FA wet tumbler to stop breaking the washer and dryer lol Seems like a win!

I enjoy Longmire, but I am afraid that the 4th season was the last season.

As an internet savvy guy who's seen too much... I notice you also got her a sharpie.... :ugh:

Oh come on guys...everyone does it! I really think this is what splits everyone above or below 50. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Being "engaged in the business" is defined by 18 USC 921.   I fail to see how an EO can add to federal code without an amendment of the statute itself by the Congress.   - OS

In this case I'm glad the government has stepped in.  If deer meat could legally be sold I think that they would be hunted and poached into extinction. 

nightrunner, I got my mount today!!! Thanks again!!!!

  Hah!  I like that.       But of course!  You aren't a real man if you don't own a 1911 in .45, no?

I believe the term is "equal opportunity hand gunner" :)

I second that! I picked up a goofy little over under Leinad a while back. Then hit the dear wife up for a AR pistol for Christmas. I had better not come home with anymore for a while. :)

  You left out the Styer influence.

I'm going to have to stop in there next time I'm in Knoxville. Sounds like a well stocked place and doing business with others from TGO is just good sense. I'lll make a point of asking for you Mike and introduce myself. Here's another one that was a late gift this year. I've had one other Orphan Barrel Whiskey called Barterhouse that was quite good. It had lots of oak with quite a bit of bite. I'm waiting to try this one because I have 4 bottles going now and it gets out of hand quick. Cheers!

Meh.  I'm sure their shareholders pretty much demanded that they do something to compete in the polymer, striker-fired, pistol market.  This is likely an improvement over a sharp stick, the SR and P series, but not much more.

  If they set a number you can sell/year, regardless of what the number is, how is this enforced without a national database of registered firearms you own to track the flow?          

Ha!! I laughed so hard at this...while I was poopin.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for. https://www.animallaw.info/statute/tn-wildlife-part-2-wildlife-regulation-and-protection#s201 § 70-4-201. Protected wildlife; crimes and offenses (a) It is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, any restaurant, club, or hotel in this state to barter, sell, transfer or offer for sale, or to purchase, or offer to purchase, any of the wildlife except as provided within this title or in rules and regulations promulgated by the commission. ( B) Each unlawful sale, purchase, offer for sale or purchase, transfer, or possession with the intent to sell, barter or transfer for any consideration of a wild animal or wild bird, wild fowl or game fish, or part thereof, is a separate offense. (c) Any person hiring another to kill or capture wildlife and receiving the wildlife is deemed to be buying the wildlife and is subject to the penalties of this title. Officers of the wildlife resources agency or persons specially employed or designated by the executive director or by the United States fish and wildlife service may capture, buy, sell, or offer to capture, buy or sell wild birds or wild animals, or parts thereof, for the sole purpose of obtaining evidence of violation of this title. The carcass of a lawful possession limit of opossum, raccoon or beaver may be bought, sold or shipped for sale during the open hunting or trapping season. (d) A violation of this section is a Class A misdemeanor; except that any violation of this section involving wildlife valued at five hundred ($500) dollars or more is a Class E felony.

Having carried various handguns for a wage in some pretty odd places, I still carry my Keltec 32 98% of the time here in the wild west of Clarksville, TN .  The rest of you must hang out in some pretty bad geography at bad times of day without hyper vigilance tendencies.  You guys make me think that it must be like where you live, "Oh sh..., all of a sudden there is a platoon of bad guys surrounding me who want to torture and kill me who are armed with AKs, I need a bazooka..... or a .45ACP, the raygun of handguns:)!

I'm not quite fat enough to pull that off, but I'm working on it.

Over on some other sites, glocks have been used by certain seal teams for years.  I believe this latest decision was more budgetary and good lobbying by glock.   I like both, prefer Sig, but Glock will do.    I have said it before, Sig is like taking the trophy date to the prom, but Glock is the ugly one.  No worry, both will put out when needed. 

The hunter safety course is free of charge!   A more apt name for it would be firearm safety course, as it actually has very little to do with hunting. I understand where you're coming from Blake, but here, if it weren't for the efforts of the TWRA, we wouldn't have anything to hunt.   When I was a kid, someone seeing a deer was rare enough it often got a mention in the local newspaper, and turkeys were non existent here. People had simply killed them out. Without regulation, this would no doubt happen again.

My 1989 k5 Blazer had the same issue. Problem was rust in the auto mechanism from water entering. I removed the locking parts, cleaned and relubed. It has worked fine ever since.

You must really wear a tight belt. I wear a belt every day and I could easily squeeze a gun between my pants and my body.
