  1. I had bought two of GT's earlier knives as keepsakes for my boys. I decided I needed one for me! Inspired by East_TN_Patriot's bushcraft knife and sheath, I had GT make me one with micarta scales and ETP make me a holster. Incredible work on both ends!

  3. DOLOMITE SUPAFLY is a stand up guy who helps many people and speaks the truth. If you are gonna troll at least get his name right. I think it's funny that you are the only person that I have ever heard say anything good about Brad or his company, and your only 2 posts are both in this thread defending him. Somehow I don't think that is by accident. Maybe you are Brad?

  4. If you can't say anythng nice about Dolomite Supafly you better just not say anything at all. He is one of the most respected and helpful members on this site so I would suggest you take your attitude and go someplace else........... :mad:  :mad: .............MY NOT SO HUMBLE OPINION!!!!

  6. I have said it for years that "we" will do things out of spite like refuse to vote and now threaten to vote for Hillary if their chosen candidate isn't the nominee. People like that are not friends of the gun community or even a conservative. I HATE Trump and would prefer Cruz but I will not do ANYTHING to help Hillary get into office because she is worse for me, and the country, than Trump ever will be. Some do not realize that or do not care about the ramifications.

  9. This is just another person who is protected by people with guns but does not want you or me to have guns.  I wish people like this would follow their beliefs and give up their armed protection if guns are so bad.

  10. I froze my credit years ago with the 3 major credit companies..  Now when I want to apply for any loan I have to unfreeze it.   This type of thing happens far 2 often to not take a few steps to protect yourself.  You carry guns to protect yourself from physical threads,  one has to take steps to protect financially as well

  21. I drive a 2500HD with a diesel. Door placard says 65 front 80 rear. For day to day driving I run them all at 65, rotate them every 5k and got 65k out of the last set nice even wear. When I hual the trailer the rears go to 80. If I don't the handling is awful. Empty if I run them that hard the rear skips and chatters. This is my 4th HD truck and I learned this from following the advice of a good tire guy. He's seen more tires than I ever will... Wife's car I run the door placard pressure and we are expecting 70k+ from those tires. Again I am following the advice of my tire guy. The moral is in a good tire guy and follow his advice.

  22. I think there might be some over thinking on this. A DC to AC inverter back fed correctly to the panel can provide the power. Switching to 120v LED bulbs now will take care of the lighting. Cheap and simple. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

  23.   Agreed. Reminds me of the current political hot-potato surrounding the bathroom debate. To hell w/ the millions of normal people, we need to infringe on their privacy so that 0.3% of the country's population isn't potentially offended. (Yes, it is THAT small a percentage, I looked it up).   - K

  26. Yes Sir, I keep gas, oil, propylene glycol, and other potentialy dangerous things there.  I was worried he would injure himself and hire an attorney like you to help him steal err, I mean sue me. So I figured I would go in there and make sure he was OK and he decided to attack me, and what do you know, I guess he had you on retainer.

  27. I found the pictures of the Boat and spoke with Son In law and he said he tested how long it would take for all the lights to drain the one 12 volt battery. He said he left them on for almost 7 days, day and night and on the 7th night they were still very bright but you could see a difference. Now that is also taking into effect the 12 volt battery was fully charged but is also taking into the fact the Battery is also 3 years old too.

  29. Making sure the flash hole is uniform and chamfering the flash hole resulted in the single biggest improvement in groups sizes. It also helped my SD numbers get into single digits.   It was a culmination of a bunch of things but factory ammunition would hover around 3/4" and my worked over hand loads consistently shot .3's with enough .2's to know they were not a fluke either. But the biggest jump came from me working on the flash holes.   And here is the thing about doing flash holes. Yes they add some time but you never have to do them again. Do it at the beginning and you never have to touch them again.   If your flash hole has a burr and it forces the spark above the powder charge you will inconsistent ignition and velocity. When you chamfer them the spark will be the same every time you pull the trigger. Or if the flash holes are different sizes it can do the same thing. This results in random velocity changes as well as when the bullets exits the barrel during its whip.   I would sort bullets first by weight then I would sort them by bearing surface length. Bearing surface length can have a significant impact on velocity. The longer the bearing surface the more pressure and the higher the velocity. The shorter bearing surface will have reduced velocity. That causes vertical stringing. I would buy bullets in 500 round lots and would end up with 4-5 different lots. I would shoot up one lot then rework the load data with a new lot until it shot well.

  31. I have been buying my tires at Discount Tire for many years and I can take my Jeep in about every 5000 miles and get free tire rotation and balance for life of the tires. I can also go there about any time and they will check my tire pressure and correct it to proper inflation. They keep mine at 35 PSI. I had my first flat tire in many years the other day. It was a slow leak so I inflated it and took it to them. They said it was time for rotate and balance and they fixed the flat for free. Great people to do business with...........jmho

  32. Go by the VEHICLE not the tire.  The vehicle is designed to run a certain pressure.  They take into account the maximum payload the vehicle is designed to carry.  Over inflation (as stated) causes the center of the tire wear more than the edges and if nothing else, it can and will make it ride like a hay wagon.  The flex of a tire is part of the vehicles total suspension and has a LOT to do with ride quality.  Been doing tires over a decade now and I can't tell you how many rough riding cars I have fixed simply by PROPER inflation.

  33. Well, this is just the idiotic direction in which some, other countries (one-Great Britain, for instance) seem to have gone and in which these 'murderers and rapists aren't bad people, they are just misunderstood' limp-wristed, bleeding heart idiots would like to take us.  Screw the rights of the victim - we have to make sure that the rights of the victim's attacker are guaranteed at all cost, even if the victim has to die instead of defending himself or herself to do so.   Honestly, it should be legal to kick this guy in the balls until he pukes.  If he tries to defend himself then obviously he would be violating his attacker's right to express their opinion via a physical outlet.

  36. The attacker forfeits the right to a trial by peers by trying to take the life of an innocent. The difference between justifiable self defense and murder is intent. Life, Liberty, & Pursuit of Happiness. These words are in this order for very good reasons.

  43. so i got a text message from his phone number today - said its his wife, and that brad is in the hospital, she said give her my last name and she would check if it was shipped or in pending work.  i don't know if hes playing some kinda game, but i sent a certified letter demanding my property back with a box with prepaid postage, and i am calling around for an attorney around knoxville to handle a small claims case for me.  I also went through my phone archive and retrieved the recording of the phone call - where he told me the what it would cost, i agreed, he told me where to send it, and gave me specific instructions. and i said okay great thanks, ill ship it out tomorrow.  i am sure this recording will constitute proof of a contract. - along with a print out of my call history from at&t to legitimize it. i don't care what i have to spend a thousands, i'm gonna pin him down so he cant do this to someone else that doesn't have the resources to fight back.

  46. Of course, it's only the presumption, but that seems to go a long way in TN.  As for how is a garage covered under castle doctrine...  Lets take a look at the law:   39-11-611c is where our 'castle doctrine' comes from in TN.   Now, lets assume for discussion that none of the exceptions in 39-11-611d apply, which would not in the described scenario.  While residence and dwelling seem to be pretty limited in scope they're not, lets look at how they're defined for the purposes of the self defense law.   First dwelling - 39-11-611a5 - Which would seem based on the plain reading to include all buildings on your property that have a roof over it and is capable of use by people.  That includes a garage.   Second lets look at residence - 39-11-611a7 - This would also seem to cover any building within the curtilage of the residence...  lets take a look at that definition.   Curtilage - 39-11-611a3   Clearly the legislative intent if to cover all buildings in and around your home, included unattached garages.  As both the definition of dwelling and residence in that part of the law clearly define.   If you hear a bump in the night and walk out into your hallway, see somebody you have reason to believe is there unlawfully (with few exceptions) has the same legal protections as if:  You hear a bump in the night, go outside and find somebody in your garage who you believe is there unlawfully...  In both cases under the law you're assumed to have a reasonable belief of imminent death or serious bodily injury.  As I read the law, and as clear by most cases of self defense in and around the home are handled here in TN.  You're right, that is just an assumption, but that assumption is a very high bar for any DA considering charging you...  They have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you knew the person in question was not a threat to you, or that you had no reason to believe they were in your home/garage unlawfully.     In the example being used here, where you catch somebody breaking into your car, who in all likelihood has a criminal record, it's going to be virtually impossible to prove to a jury you didn't have a reasonable belief that person was there unlawfully.  And unless there are some strange circumstances surrounding the shooting itself - like shooting the guy on the ground execution style...  it's going to be next to impossible to over come the assumption of reasonable fear.   That's why most DA's won't touch these cases with a 10 foot pole...     Now with that said, I personally wouldn't go looking for trouble, I wouldn't go outside in the middle of the night to knowingly confront a criminal breaking into my unattached garage or car... but if you think you hear a raccoon in your garage, and go to investigate and find a thief there instead, under TN law you have the same rights to self defense as if you came face to face with the thief standing in your kitchen.
