Since I was 11 years old I have wanted a real Darth Vader helmet. EFX makes some killer Star Wars props. In 2011 they did a Legend edition helmet that cost over $900.00 it sold out in 4 minutes way before I knew they existed. A couple of years ago I pre paid for another Star Wars prop that never materialized, I was offered a Special Edition Darth Vader helmet in store credit, as soon as I heard they were doing that helmet I jumped on it, it is the closest thing to the one David Prowse wore in A New Hope, the original Star Wars movie, it was delivered to me last week and man do I love this thing!3 points

I should probably keep my comments on this to myself. All I will say is this country is getting closer to the tipping point every single day. It won't be pretty for anyone when we fall over the edge.3 points

That was stupid on the resident's part and he at the very least should have received a tongue lashing from the police. The use of deadly force to protect property is not justified in Tennessee, first of all, and secondly the resident was no longer on his property when he entered the public street to confront the motorist. Going off of your property, brandishing a firearm, to confront another citizen on public property to ask them "what the hell they are doing" is just stupid no matter the circumstances. He could have easily been arrested for brandishing a weapon. Probably should have been.3 points

I watched this yesterday and have read numerous comments in reference to it elsewhere. I agree the BLM protesters who shot at the car should have been prosecuted I also believe the protester who was standing in the road should be charged. This video should have had a lot more media play and reporting then it's had. Good comments and assessments.2 points

This is one of those situations where it doesn't matter if what he did was technically legal or not. This man and his antics certainly turned someone who may have been a neutral bystander into a supporter of "common sense gun laws." Seriously. Why go confront someone in a situation like this? It's stupid? Did he have backup in his little posse? What if the people in the car had had malicious intent? What if there were more than one of them? This guy, in his bravado escalated a situation needlessly. Because the lady was just talking on her phone, he just made gun owners at large look bad. Lord knows we need some more examples of that. This is Bellvue - not out in the country somewhere. Monitor the situation from your living room window - and call the cops if you think something is going down. It's Bellvue after all. They'll be there pretty quick. I'm all for taking care of your family and your neighbors. But this was stupid - and maybe across the line legally. Nobody wants the next Trayvon to be in Tennessee.2 points

I'm going to hit the fields this year for the first time in probably 30 years. So, I'll ask a 2 part question. 1. Does anyone know if TWRA still leases dove fields in the Hamilton County area so hunters can have easy access to fields? I've looked online but can't seem to hit the right key combo to find out anything. 2. What is your favorite dove recipe?1 point

This happened to my neighbors wife last night. She was coming home a little before 9 pm. She was close to home and got a call from a friend. It was an important call so she decided to park her car so she could concentrate on the call. She turned into a neighborhood, went to the end of the street, turned around in the cul de sac, started heading back toward the main road and then parked on the street in front of a house. Most of Bellevue had a power outage last night that lasted for about an hour. This was during that time. She had been talking for about 10 mins when there is a knock on her window. It startles her and she turns to see a man cradling a rifle in his arms. He is turned sideways so it is pointing into the car but not right at her. She rolls down her window a little and says what the hell are you doing with a rifle pointing at me. He says we protect our neighborhood around here. She was like I am just sitting here talking on the phone. The interior light was on so he could that it was a woman by herself on the phone. She say get a way from me and go home. She was not even parked in front of this guys house. He lived at the next house down the street. I understand keeping a watch on your neighborhood. It is not a great idea to walk down the middle of the street with a rifle and knock on someones car window. She pulls down the street and calls the police. She explains everything that happens and says she wants him arrested for ag assault. They talk it over and call their watch commander. He says not to arrest the guy. Just talk to him and get his info and that they will turn it over to a detective. The officers told her to follow up with the detective and stress to him that she wants him prosecuted. Whether that will happen or not nobody knows. They told her to leave before they went to talk to the guy. When she was leaving two of the officers had their pistols drawn and the third was carrying an AR to go talk to the guy. I am interested in hearing what the detective has to say in a couple of days.1 point

Impressive! I can relate to the animals not liking it. A few years back, I had a really good full head, gorilla mask for a party. I came home with it on thinking to scare my wife. Instead I almost got eaten by our 90lb Chow. I came thru the door. She saw me, growled like only a dog in protective mode can do, and leaped on me. I tore the mask getting it off. I can only imagine what a terrified parrot would do. You need my collection of old Star Wars toys to go with it. lol1 point

I will keep the extra money every time and get the C models when adding a short barrel kahr. Same frame and I don't care about extra aesthetic touches on p models, mim parts on 9mm or rifling difference on short barrel. Yes, mags will work in k,p,c models if it is long enough for the grip and same caliber. doesn't take much to shove a 1911 mag in c or p 45 models.1 point

If you are driving a car, you are in possession of a deadly weapon, regardless of whether you have a firearm or not... A car will kill most anyone... I aint too worried about some jackass standing on his hind legs and me in a car... Now that i've got a bit older, I dont worry about jackass flippin me a bird or sayin bad things to me... I drive sensibly, and don't respond to jackasses who want to show me either how ignorant or tough they are... If they try to stop me or hem me in, that's another whole problem... Follow me home... Very dangerous... turtleman leroy, the careful driver...1 point

Yeah, that is the kind of stuff I just don't get. Why would the guy who slept in and got there second think they deserve the spot? I get it, too many people think they're entitled to everything these days. But part of me wants to think that hunters would be different. Unfortunately a sportsman who respects the animals and the hunt, and someone who kills deer are two totally different things. I've even had guys walk in 2 hours after sun up talking as they walk, then stop to make a phone call while smoking a cigarette. They were directly in front of me no more than 15 yards and never knew I was there. I suspect they thought they were still gonna have a successful hunt after meeting at Waffle House to talk deer hunting over some scattered, covered, topped, chunked, and diced.I sat there steaming but didn't say anything because I'd hoped they'd run something my way as they walked in. But nope, about and hour later they repeated the same process walking right back to the truck talking about not seeing anything. I was about to flip my lid. I get up so I can be in my stand 1 to 2 hours before daybreak only to watch the Looney Tunes in live version. Oh well, public land hunting at it's best!1 point

Then Senator John F. Kennedy published this in April 1960 to a "Know your lawmakers" column in Guns magazine: http://www.gunsmagazine.com/1960issues/G0460.pdf - see page 4 There's some pretty cool reading (and prices) in there. Here's the editor describing it in a later Field and Stream article: https://books.google.com/books?id=7h_7foxuvVoC&pg=PA30&lpg=PA30&dq=john+f+kennedy+guns+field+and+stream&source=bl&ots=knYG0phV-F&sig=m2gU6HALSkJJcdomXs3q-R1i9LY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjAhP-FjbbOAhVWwWMKHfRdADIQ6AEILTAG#v=onepage&q=john f kennedy guns field and stream&f=false - see page 301 point

What else should she have done? Kept driving along a darkened winding road taking an important call that's requiring her attention? Just pulled over on the non-existent shoulder? She did exactly as she was supposed to do. Dude playing Rick Grimes is a paranoid jackass. If Bellevue can go through the floods we went through in 2010 without devolving into Lord of the Flies, a simple power outage hardly justifies patrolling with a long gun. Cell service was up. The low clouds still had that dull pink glow of the Nashville light pollution. It was clear this wasn't some widespread EOTWAWKI event, and Bellevue is not exactly a powder-keg waiting for any little thing to send us all into a rampaging looting frenzy. As far as the cul-de-sac goes, (and I'm only guessing) it was likely one of several "neighborhoods" on the main road that leads to the neighborhood where KahrMan and I live. There are 3 or 4 in a row that are little more than a cul-de-sac with 20-30 houses.1 point

Seriously? With the climate today how else are they supposed to answer a man-with-a-gun call? Personally I would be surprised if they answered any other way. My guess is nothing will come of it because there was no crime committed.1 point

I've owned two of the 239 models...a standard model in 40sw and a SAS model with the DAK trigger. Both were superbly accurate but in the end I foolishly traded them for plastic guns with more capacity. Big mistake! Your 239 is a keeper!1 point
-
I have the .40. Good gun. Same weight as the Glocks that I carry but half the capacity. Mine is NOT an SAS. When I carry IWB the hammer rubs my skin. I would recommend getting the sweat shield on a holster to completely guard against the hammer area. Very consistent. I shoot most accurately with that gun than my others.

It's about taking away the power of the people. They would rather eliminate the firearms industry all together if they could. Jobs don't matter, that means more people dependent on the government through welfare, food stamps, and whatever other programs there are. They only care about furthering their power not the country or its people.1 point
