Shout out to all the single people... keep it real today!

Folks; I wanted to go ahead and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving as we head into the evening. This holiday some of you may be traveling. Others may be spending the weekend at home. Hopefully you find yourselves surrounded by people that you care about, whether they be friends, family, brothers in arms, or fellow emergency services crew. Whatever you're doing, I hope that you stay safe and have much to be thankful for. And since this is a firearms forum and since we think about and talk about things like this, if you are out and about this weekend... please be vigilant. As the saying goes, keep your head on a swivel if you are out at the movies, at the shopping malls, or anywhere else that there are large crowds. Watch what's going on around you and trust your instincts if something feels wrong or out of place. By all means, if you are able, carry your sidearm. And give serious thought to carrying some sort of personal first aid kit. If you've never considered the latter, maybe spend some time this weekend putting together something that would easily fit into a pocket, purse, satchel or backpack. Again, I hope you all stay safe and have time to reflect on the blessings in your own life. Hooray for the holidays and God bless. --David

The Savage Swede earned it's keep last night. I shot her right at dark (4:50) on my favorite patch of TVA land. Unfortunately, some of the Well-To-Dos who live in a nearby subdivision object to scruffy hunters & by the time I'd got her dragged into a clearing, the cops showed up. After a tense, although very pleasant, 45 minute conversation with the local Deputy & TWRA Officer it was determined that whilst close to the houses, I had done nothing wrong. They even dragged her out to my truck for me!

If anyone's looking to cash in on the Remington UMC $5 rebate, Cabella's has 9mm UMC in stock at 11.99/box. I know that's not as good as Rural King's 10.35/box sale, but RKGuns hasn't dropped their price yet and who knows if it will be in stock when you need it. Plus Cabellas doesn't collect sales tax to Tennessee AND they have free shipping with Promo Code 6HOLIDAY. After rebate, it's $6.99/box, delivered.

Personally my lunch was a chicken sandwich while sitting in the clouds on a mountain top at 5500 feet above sea level.

I would be willing to bet the complainants voted for Hillary.

If those folks had hit as many deer with a vehicle as I have, they'd be buying you ammo instead of calling the cops.

Words of wisdom David. Thank you. And Thanks to all that contribute here at TGO. Wishing you , our Service members and First Responders as a Blessed and Safe Thanksgiving day and weekend. I'm headed into work in a bit, so no doubt I'll have the opportunity to Thank many of our local first responders in person. Holidays are, unfortunately, busy ER days. Be safe folks.

My prayer tonight will be for a safe and happy Thanksgiving for everyone here and their families and for our country. I'll also be saying an additional prayer for those that are serving in the military and are away from their families keeping us safe here at home.

Here's the b.s. part of your argument. Do you seriously think these people give a damn whether or not they have a "right" to do something? If government is the answer, I don't like the question.

I. Cant. Move.

Don't cook bacon without a shirt on... King of England is my favorite of little Timmy Wilson.

Tie a rope around the deer's head and to the back of your 4 wheeler and drag it. Much easier than wrestling it up on a 4 wheeler rack.

It appears Palmetto State Armory thinks I should get a divorce for Christmas!

Instead of issuing tickets, violators were given a frozen turkey or ham along with other foods donated by the Lynn Jones Foundation. Many of the people were simply shocked, but pleased by the department’s gesture. Click here for video.

Truly my favorite holiday. I hope each of you is able to enjoy the time with family and friends - either the family you were born with or the family you choose. I go into this holiday with profound gratitude for all the family and friends in my life.

Come shoot off the extra poundage you put on over the long holiday weekend! We'll have 6 stages that will consist of 100 to 120 rounds. New and old shooters are always welcome. 12:30 start time so be there by 12:00 or earlier, hope the see you on the range. Walden Ridge Shooting Range 1862 16th Model Rd Manchester,Tn 37355 Members $10 Nonmember $15 This is an IDPA event so concealment is needed. New shooters (to the sport) do not apply on concealment. You'll need 3 magazines (2 will work), and some good holsters.

Do it yourself, easy enough. Get a 45 caliber bore mop and chuck it into a drill. Then saturate the mop with a metal polish, like Flitz. Insert the bore mop into the cylinder and spin it for about 15 seconds. Repeat until you get the desired results. This should polish the chamber to ease extraction.

Much much much less. I've got one and three halves.

Dang. Hand guns are not Death rays, shoot till the threat is no more. He even dumped a few into him after he's on the floor for good measure. #.40calproblems

WOW.....where the heck was that and what was it all about? It looks like the bullet sponge had a handgun also, but never got a round off since the dude with the girl opened up on him.

I found them at a couple of different shops that I regularly frequent in the Memphis area. They never hit the shelves anymore though. You have to regularly check in and ask. When the stores receive it, you may only have a few hours to maybe a couple of days before its all gone unless someone agrees to hold some for you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks

I would build a small frame out of steel angle iron (like 1x1) and then use 3/8 plywood. It should be lighter than 3/4 plywood and plenty strong to hold a deer out past the wheel wells. You could even put some hinges on it and fold it over itself when you are not using it on the way out to keep the width of your 4 wheeler down. Something like this. Not to scale obviously. Put hinges where blue lines are.

Maple Bourbon glazed Ham on the Gig Green Egg. No pics right now, 'cause "if you're lookin', u ain't cookin'".....lol.

This thread is proof that Elmer Fudd's still exist in the gun community. We need to be united in this fight to push for additional freedoms. The state should never have the right to "allow" us to exercise a constitutional right. Taking the TN drivers license test doesn't make someone a good driver any more than taking a carry permit class makes us responsible gun owners.

True! They are temping me with this... http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-stripped-billet-9mm-glockc-lower-matte-w-mag-catch-assembly-and-ejector-10-pmag-17-pmag-19.html

I did a turkey on the BGE. Injected with Tabasco. I did it out of novelty one year when I was doing several turkeys, and now it's one of those things that I can't get away from. Everyone always wants it. I also smoked a picnic ham while I had the smoker going. Same prep as a shoulder, but it still has the bone in so you get more dark meat. That's where I'm going to be today.

Anyone remember seeing the EAA Kp series guns in 45 on sale in an ad? I swear I saw it last night, then lost it. Yep, me too Gotthegoods.

Hey...it happens as we get older. lol.

Upon sighting in new barrel at 15 yards with different loads, one three round group went through one hole!!!!!!!!! Yes it was on a sand bag and yes it was witnessed at Royal Range by a RO. This thing is a LASER!!!!!! What a freaking amazing combination! Sorry for no photos, dang it.

Gotta stay tuned for this one!! Interesting.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the folks and folks families on TGO. Good advice David and thanks for another great year here on TGO. I plan on staying home with the mutt as I hate traveling on holidays. I'm sure family will stop in and see me as they always do and they always bring food. Some edible some not so much but I never tell them that. I don't want the edible stuff to stop coming...................

Back when I was growing up before moving south at age 17 we never had turkey. I was an avid hunter at a very young age and my state always had an early Goose season and I was responsible for our dinner bird and every year we ate goose. Sometime a Canada goose and sometime it was a Snow goose but goose was on our table. When we moved to the Ranch/Farm with my grand father the Thanksgiving dinner most times was a country ham out of Grandfathers smoke house with all the trimmings. Like some have mentioned my family was not much on turkey so when I had my own family it was a country with all the trimmings. Love the smell of a ham slow cooking all night in the oven. Makes the whole house smell great.............jmho

Happy Thanksgiving boss and to everyone else as well. Enjoy your day with family and friends.

Anybody have some asbestos gloves. My credit card is smoking.

Thanks, Greg! You bet I will. She's been my work-assistant all day today so plenty of attention has gone her way.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, David, and give that little girl a big hug for all of us!

For that price I'm tempted to get one and throw a conversion barrel in it. At that point it's essentially a 19 that could be switched back to .40 if ever needed.

This was exactly what happened to me!

It worked just now for me. But I'm special. lol Also glad I did my life membership under the 300 special several years ago.

Got my first one for the season this morning. not a monster but a good start.http://http://

AA already responded, they are paying for shipping both ways and said they would take care of it.

Federal gun free school zones act would still apply to people without permits even if the state weapons criminal offenses were removed. Unless other parts of the weapons statute was modified, it would still be illegal to carry on 'posted property', K-12 schools, and colleges. We could legally carry on K-12 school property and inside K-12 schools WITH a permit if our state law allowed it. Right now with the make up of the legislature and governor, I'd rather limited time spent on removing restrictions on permits VS time spent on constitutional carry in 2017. I don't see the point in spending time on something just to make a political statement when you could use that same time on something that can actually pass. Politicians will only entertain so many gun bills each year. Time was wasted in 2016 on bills that honestly had zero positive effect for people with or without permits. Bills like the 'posted property liability' law and changes to company HR related weapons policies were just political noise for politicians to appear pro gun in an election year. The same time could have been spent on removing the 'no gun sign' criminal law and also putting in an exemption for people with permits on school property. Those two things would make carry legal in a lot more places.

I'm building one. I wouldn't build one to make it a run of the mill stock Glock, mine will get mostly all aftermarket parts. I look at it as platform and not brand. I can get $400 1911's, but they don't compare to my $2k ones. The same applies here, just I'm building it instead of dropping $2k on an agency, salient or ZEV. I'm literally waiting for all the rest of the parts in the next few days. Here's a pre-build mock up: ETA: Midway has the black frame for $99 right now. It comes with the jig and needed bits for completion. Also can be completed with a file, sandpaper and a hand drill.
