PAY IT. Those folks can get it moved without bruising walls, floors, the safe, or any people. They moved mine. I thought they were high too until they showed up.

That does seem a little high. On the other hand moving something that heavy down stairs without the correct tools and one mistake could end up costing you a lot more than $475.

I served in the military and am retired. I still deal with the Government daily. I would not want to rely on "I am guessing". I would want proof. I do not trust them to get anything correct. As the old saying goes, "Trust, but verify". In my case it would be "Do NOT trust And Damn sure verify!" Sorry, old and jaded I guess.

Pay somebody to move it for you. Cheaper than a trip to the emergency room.

I agree, but if the stay was voluntary, a simple call to Lisa, and filing an amended renewal form should be enough. In theory the state would then have to prove you were ineligible... but TDOS does some very stupid stuff that probably isn't legal on a regular basis.

You might want to check with a piano company. They specialize in big and heavy.

My son-in-law moved a similar size Cannon brand safe . He used a strap and dolly. Did not need to negotiate but 2 steps upward and unloaded if off a low trailer. If I had to move it, I would find someone else to do it, or pay the price. Over 400. bucks seems a bit excessive to me.

I was going to say the Safe House... but you may want to check with Parker's for another quote. http://www.parkerssafesandvaults.com/delivery-safe-moving

Yep stairs makes it a no no for me. I have moved a lot of safes but not up or down more than a doorway threshold. Sorry, gotta go with the guys that say hire it done. Another thought is to sell it to the new occupant and just buy a new one.

It was the Safe House.

Certainly we are headed that way. Drones, Smart Weapons, crewless ships, tanks and even ballistic Submarines. It’s a race with technology. If we don’t keep up; we will suffer the consequences.

Saw it last night. I enjoyed it. The Leia floating in space thing was a bit much. I wish they had just killed her off. They had several opportunities and I just don't see why they kept her.

I was thinking........

If you don't have access to the proper equipment (tractor with a boom, furniture/car dollies, ...) and plenty of extra hands, hire someone who does.

Not unless there is something more to this story not disclosed in the original post. The way I read her post, her husband was prescribed Lyrica by a doctor, and she didn't indicate that he was addicted or abusing it, only that he had an adverse side effect and stopped taking it. Use of a controlled substance prescribed by a Doctor is not a factor that can cause you to be denied a permit, or even the purchase of a firearm. (With the exception of pot, but there are 4 people who are prescribed pot through a federal program who can legally own firearms). So unless he is currently unlawfully using Lyrica, and/or is addicted to using Lyrica (or some other drug) then he wouldn't be denied a permit or have his rights to possess firearms revoked. I really think his issue is #13A, he either marked yes when he shouldn't, or he was involuntarily committed and won't be able to get his permit back.

The charge would be violation of the signage statute, 39-17-1359. 'Course you'd have to wait around for an actual LEO to arrest you for it if there's not one there at the entrance (and decent chance he'd just tell you to leave and stash the pistol in the car and even let you come back in if you weren't a snot about it). - OS

No it isn't.

Personally, I feel that these were very underestimated pistols. Very accurate and easy to hold and shoot. Once you got past the grip safety, for those who hated it, a very good pistol. I still have a 5'' 45 in my safe. And I never understood what all the ruccus about the grip safety was for. Heck it's just like a 1911. Can you hold a 1911 without crying about it? Same thing.

Congrats. XD’s aren’t much to look at but I think they are great shooters.

Me personally, no. My wife works with a raptor rehabber. They have a handful of unreleasable education birds in addition to those they rehab. http://www.smokymountainraptorcenter.org/

Misinformed gun stores have yielded some of my best milsurp buys, so I'm all for them ...

I like that!

When I get around 3 or 4 I boil them in hot water with salt and seasoning until the meat is cooked. I then take them out and pick the meat off. Then I take a can of campbells cream of chicken soup. Mix it with some potatoes , and celery and carrots and lima beans and mix the meat up in this mix. Then put it all into a pie crust. The take another pie crust and put it over the mix of what you got and pinch it togather on the ends. and bake for around 30 minutes on 350 degrees. Then you got an awesome squirrel pot pie !

A couple of ancillary observations... The post above should be fairly timeless and be relevant 3, 6, or even 15 years from now, but these comments are particular to the current time: AK-47/74 pattern rifles seem to be an exception to the slump in pricing and sales, especially if they were manufactured in Russia. These rifles are actually rising in cost. The past few years have seen AK and AR-15 pattern rifles completely trade places in terms of marketability and cost. Ten years ago, you would have been laughed out of town if you tried to sell an AK for more than a comparably equipped AR. These days, you can buy an AR that you'd actually want to shoot for less than $600 and that sort of money only gets you into a decent AK. Glock 19s tend to still do well on the secondary market because everyone needs one even if they don't really want one. The advent of the Generation 5 Glock 19 doesn't seem to have softened the resale value of the previous generations too much as the Gen5 hasn't had a chance to prove itself and Glock is notorious for having to fix problems with the first few batches of any new generation. The caveat to that, of course, is that modified Glocks don't always sell very quickly unless the seller prices them reasonably and in accordance to what has been done to them. Stippling and custom finishes (like Cerakote) are very polarizing and might only suit the personal taste of the seller. Revolvers, 1911s, and so-called "Brown Rifles" (hunting bolt actions, shotguns, etc.) seem to be fairly immune to the pricing slump since they were never really in the same level of demand as the tacti-cool stuff and consequently, the market was never flooded with a surplus of them. Collector guns are almost always immune to market fluctuation, which is why they are collector guns. When the rest of the firearms market is racing toward the bottom, there's an advantage to being priced at the top - especially if you can command it. Don't expect to see collectibles selling at bargain prices unless someone is really hurting for money and doesn't have a savvy friend to save them from making a hasty mistake.

My 11 year old Grandson has asked me to do some Tree Rat hunting with him this year. It's been a very long time since I have been hunting them but I have been considering going with him just to be able to spend some time with him. I have a Marlin 60 w/ scope that I sighten is for 50 yards and can take down poker chips at that range with every shot. Once I got it all sighted in I ran 25 out of 25. I might be able to hit one of those critters. Might be nice to have some in the freezer again. I told him I won't go until the leaves are off the trees and He said thats fine with him. I know I will need to get some bug spray with deet in it to keep the ticks in check. I hate them little critters!!!!

I love to hunt squirrels! I got 2 yesterday, going again tomorrow. My biggest joy comes from taking my Grandsons and watching them harvest Tree Rats. Good stuff indeed!

I have not hunted Squirrels in probably 20+ years. I used to always have a couple dozen in the freezer but moved inside the city and can't hunt them and son lives to far away now for me to go and hunt his place for them. I do have a bunch of them all around my house and yard and it was kind of funny. When I first moved here almost 18 years ago I only had 1 very small gray squirrel that would come out in back yard out of fence row and lokk and dig trying to find food. Once day while at TSC I saw a squirrel feeder on sale so I bought it and some squirrel mix and put it up in back yard on a tree. It took the little squirrel to get on it and I watched him and I busted out laughing when I realized he was to small to open the lid and get a piece of food out of it. He was a determind but finally gave up. That night after sun went down I made a small platform and attached it to the tree and put some food on it. The next morning I was drinking coffee and here came the little squirrel up the tree and onto that platform. He ate about every thing on it. Evidently he told a friend cause next day I had two show up. 1 bigger one that could open the lid and the little one that ate on the platform. Those 2 was all I had that winter. The following Fall was a lot different. I think they must have called all their kin folks cause I could not keep the feeder and platform full as they would empty it in a day. I went back up to TSC and got 2 more feeders and another bag of food. That bag of food lasted about 10 days. I did some research and learned that squirrels were corn eaters also so I bought a 50 pound bag of whole kernel corn and came home and dumped it in a big plastic trash can I bought for the food. The little critters ate a hole in the can lid and we getting inside eating the corm. We to TSC and bought to metal trash cans. Filled one with squirrel food and 1 with bird seed and put up 5 hanging bird feeders and today I have a total of 8 bird feeders and 5 Squirrel feeders that I will begin putting food in come fall after I take the Hummingbird feeders down..............LOL I get a lot of enjoyment now just watching all the wild life I have here.

I don't really hunt them anymore. I just don't like hunting anything when it's really warm. And if it's colder, then deer season is usually open. There are 2 huge fox squirrels that live near one of my deer stands though. They're beautiful, and one has a black head with white face. Fun to watch, and I've thought about taking my DSLR camera to shoot them with.

I've got a military MEP-003a 10kw diesel generator. I can run the whole house, including the a/c. The only down side is it's as loud as a freight train. It's not a problem out in the country where I am but could be a problem in a neighborhood. I got into a discussion on another site where people were going to great lengths to try to get their generator to get them through a SHTF scenario. My advise was to say your time would be better spent learning how to live without electricity than it would be trying to get a generator setup to get you through a extended outage. Generators are great getting you through relatively short outages caused by weather events and such but it will just suck up resources in a true SHTF ordeal. Lots of people these days think you can't live without electricity, I say that electricity is a relatively new invention and people have lived for thousands of years without it.

You know what else is more than $475? Divorce lawyers.
