I am kinda surprised that he allowed her to keep going back into the car. I was also surprised that after the shootout that he just watched her drive off without firing any more rounds.

Well. That title covers a lot of territory doesn't it? Had 2 scheduled checkups and blood draws today. My GP and my Oncologist. I talked with both about the Covid Vaccines and my feelings and health issues relating to whether or not to take it. Interesting conversations from both. Especially the gentleman who actually drew the blood. We covered about everything from the source, the intent, and the possible outcomes of this pandemic. Even got into some of the religion side...Revelation and Mark of the Beast territory. But the core of all this is that my Oncologist's comments were this..."Do it. Do it Now!" You are at major risk. Walking time bomb. Just waiting to be infected. Really said that. Well, it seemed that TnOncology was vaccinating all their patients. And since I was in one office, a call was made and I was quite literally immediately shoved out the door and sent to the one where there were some shots still available. So...in spite of my comments here previously; I received the 1st dose of the Moderna Vaccine today. I do feel rather much a hypocrite right now. But it's done. We shall see what happens.

Well the Glock is complete. And I test fired it today. I can’t say that it was flawless. I had a malfunction of some sort on the last round. I do not know whether it was a failure to eject or a stovepipe because I couldn’t see it. (See my latest post in the Iowa blind people permits thread for why I can’t see). I’m pretty happy with this for a first test. The concept is proven so now I’ll go ahead and order my own slide and give the borrowed slide back. This will be fun to experiment with. And I already have plans to print a 19.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I don't think calling our Senators is going to help on this one. Neither TN Senator will vote for this. We need a few moderate Democrats to break from the group. I think there is a chance but I could be wrong.

Awesome for you! I can't wait, personally. In a couple of months, we'll be rocking' and rollin' again!

After the attempted insurrection, our elected servants realize there are a lot of citizens that disagree with them. Fear of the unwashed masses. The Republicans are quietly rooting for disarmament as well...it's their power, influence and money club as well.

As someone who didn’t think they’d move this quickly, I freely admit I got it wrong.

Here you go

Good for you. I've had mine. Now waiting to get my "young" wife a shot. Stand by for the conspiracy theorists to give us ####.

Don't feel bad, on the spot decisions can go either way depending on ones mood. I still opt out, but keep my options open.

Your doctor knows a lot more than the internet. I’m glad you’re squared away.

And we do. I'm gonna spend tomorrow reloading. It's therapeutic.

Mr. Speaker, I am going to ask my colleagues here today and I am going to challenge the sponsors of this bill and those of them who might think they would vote for this bill to consider whether it is fair. Is it fair to surround yourself with armed guards, with Capitol Hill Police who have guns, with personal details, bodyguards, and ask the people to pay for it when you make it harder for those same people to protect themselves? I don't think that is fair. - Mr. Massie, 2nd Amendment Caucus

2 seats remain available Saturday We still have 9 for Sunday @Jamie Jackson donated some cool stuff for us to practice with and on, including a leg. For the live fire portion of class, you can opt to shoot once / 10 rounds. You may get an opportunity to expend up to 30 rounds depending upon range efficiency. Great facility for teaching, training and shooting, backed up with awesome owner and staff.

Here's some pics of it with the HOLOSUN 507C X2 that I just got done mounting.

Guys, I split this off into its own thread. It probably wasn't going to help a guy trying to sell one when the replies turned to loaning one out for free.

Just took the MP EZ 9 out and ran 20 rounds of Federal 147 gr Hydra Shock JHP through it. It fired them all with no problems. The price on the box was $20.00 for 50. OH, the days of yester year. Those 20 rounds would be 40. + today. So far the EZ is eating everything. It is a fun pistol to shoot and carries quiet nicely in a Comp Tac Minatour IWB holster. Been wearing it around the house and while doing yard work. Need to run several mor through it to make sure it is reliable. Plan to carry Rem Golden Saber 127 gr bonded in it.

I'm just happy I gambled with my gut instead of listening to those that thought gun control was sooooooo far down on geriatric joes list

Worst case, budget in adding a french drain around the house as well as fixing the gutter situation. Water destroys more houses than just about anything.

Whew, while nice Dillon is certainly more in line with my working class budget. iirc I invested around $300.00 in my Dillon 550 back around '89 or so. It's still going strong and Dillion did an inspection, cleaning, and parts replacement several years ago. Just cost me the shipping. And they've replaced parts along the way as needed. I certainly consider my Dillon a value purchase and investment. Nice setup @DJTC45!

That looks great, but I really prefer the Extreme Grip Module Dragon Scale Texture, I might install the tree bark one I have.

Sir, you are my kind of people. lol Same here. My mouth seems to always move without thought. So my wife has started telling me to keep quiet past hello and how's the kids. Sadly, I don't listen too well.

Just a rambly letter of introduction... I was taught to shoot by my grandfather, who was a WWII drill Sargent (well Canadian equivalent). I've been shooting since I was about 6, have had guns literally my entire life (my "toy" gun was an old training hi point that gramps likely bought from the army, he was too straight laced to steal anything). We used to have spots we could go on our bikes and shoot, 22 long guns hanging out of gunny sacks on our backs...nobody cared or called police. I've seen that attitude change over the years, with the media pushing a fear-fuelled agenda to disarm those that allow themselves to be disarmed. I am currently serving my "2 year amnesty" for the crime of owning a legally licensed, purchased, registered sporting gun (or as they call it, an "assault style rifle". In fact, they're hitting me for about $4,000 worth of "registered" guns. We've got neighbors calling the snitch lines on people they don't like, screeching about how dangerous guns are, cheering this arbitrary disarmament, and I tell you, I'm done. Put it this way, imagine California suddenly took over, and brian selter was lord and ruler, and he was just splattering the country with all sorts of SJW nonsense...and people were cheering him on. THAT'S what it's like here. They have weed, drum circles, guys that wear twat knots and capri pants...yes there are a LOT of good solid people here, but they've all been driven out of the cities, and the cities have all the voting power. In fact, only 2 cities select the leader, Toronto and Quebec. These are the cities where they direct most "new Canadians" and they shower them with free money, free phones, free healthcare, everything they need, so long as they vote. It's insane but very effective for the left. So we are looking to not only move out of the city, but out of this country. We are one "order in council" away from being a literal dictatorship. He used guns to set a precedent in bypassing parliament kind of what president pelosi did to you). This is the second time in my life they have done this. I lost my AK and MP5 in '94-'95 to a similar ban, and that's when they started registering ARs (swearing they weren't doing it to ban them...ha). Why I joined here was to get a feel/taste for the environment. We have an immigration lawyer helping us out, as we plan on moving a profitable business down there. The plan is to get a property with ~50 acres or so, and I want to set up a spot to shoot (right now I have to travel an hour to a gun range to even plink, and they are trying to enact sound bylaws that will outlaw gun ranges, they are really kicking us hard up here). So I'm looking for maybe advice on areas to look at/avoid, maybe realtors to contact, things to consider, etc etc. Any tips would be welcome. Oh and I'd like to also add. When we get there, we won't be like the "new arrivals" to THIS country. We plan to adhere to the laws and customs of the land, proudly fly the stars and stripes (can we do that as foreigners?), etc etc. We're not looking to rock the boat, we want to embrace what you offer, and hopefully add to it. We'll be setting up an office and looking to expand the business (biotech), add to the coffers of the IRS, etc etc. We are not snotty ungrateful people (in fact, I think we're incredibly nice). My daughter is taking her masters, and hopefully she will take over the company at some point so that I can just sit, drink beer and work on old classic cars or something. Lastly, and this one is both important and sad that we have to say it, but we want to simply stop socializing with leftists/liberals/socialists whatever you want to call them. We originally had pegged North Carolina as our destination, but as we follow the politics, we honestly believe that TN will be one of the last, if not THE last holdout state (I have a very leftist sister in TX, and she is 'thrilled' at how liberal the state is becoming with all the lovely Californians moving in...after destroying their home state with progressivism). So I guess my purpose for posting here is to see if anyone can give some advice on where we should be looking for property. Ideally we don't want to have to rent for a year, then find a place, we'd like to just get a place and move in. The visa system is pretty weird, we more or less have to go there, set up, and THEN apply for the visa, as our investment has to be considered "at risk" to qualify for the E-2. The people on the NC forum were really really nice, and it's honestly too bad their State is going blue, but probably for the best, I wanted TN from the start, my wife wanted NC for the biotech community there, but realistically we just want to be around like-minded people, and live out whatever time we have left, in a truly free State and country. So many Americans are totally clueless about how awesome your Constitution is...they simply haven't lived in a country where the government starts to simply take away freedoms...don't let those freaks alter your constitution, there's nothing like it in the world, and it gives the people power to tell the government ENOUGH. Of course the dems want to obliterate it. How can you herd the sheep when you aren't allowed to build fences around them... We have one business associate in TN, and she's been giving us some tips, areas to avoid, not to travel around unannounced on private property(duh), things like that, but I don't think she really gets what we're looking for. We just want to know people who are proud of their country, don't regurgitate cnn as "fact", and say please and thank you (like people used to do around here). So there's the introduction

Got my Staccato P DPO from my FFL yesterday morning. I just finished mounting my HOLOSUN 507C x2 red dot on it. Hopefully I can go sometime next week and run some rnds down it and get the HOLOSUN adjusted. Here's some pics.

My name is Don and I just joined the site. I’m a huge Springfield guy, and am interested in training more and getting better.

Thanks for the information, I'll try that and see what I can do. I'll post back sometime next week when I get to the range.

WTG! I received my second vaccine on the first and my wife got the J&J at Kroger in Collierville. There’s nothing hypocritical about your actions. I commend you for listening to your doctors.

Don't sweat it brother, you gotta do what's best for you. If your Oncologist suggests it, then it might be best. My wife's oncologist hasn't said anything like that yet.

I'm gonna try and do some loading this weekend. Maybe Sunday. I've worked the last 3 weekends. Today makes 21 days.

After our my permit class today I asked a couple of fellow instructors to stay with me and supervise me shooting the TN qual without corrective lenses. This was done on a closed range with two very experienced instructors behind me in case anything went awry. legally, a person is considered blind if their corrected vision is 20/200 or worse, or they have a field of view narrower than 20 degrees. For those that don’t know, 20/200 means that something that is 20 feet away looks the same to you, as something 200 feet away looks to a person with 20/20. 20/200 also equates to around a -2.50 prescription. While my vision corrects to 20/15 or so, my uncorrected vision is around 20/300 or worse. My prescription is -5.00 but the math isn’t simple so that being twice -2.50 doesn’t make it 20/400. I hope all of that makes sense. Now the target. This is the normal TN HCP qualification shot on a B-27 with 20 rounds at 3 yards, 20 at 5 yards and 10 rounds at 7 yards. Now for my experience shooting this. At 3 yards, the target is solid enough, it’s not a concern. My big issue is that my sights aren’t large enough to be able to focus on. My carry gun has ameriglo bolds on it and I love these sights. The yellow front is still visible without my contacts. But I can’t focus on the front. I can’t line up the top of the sights and I’m honestly just guessing at where the dot is in relation to the notch. I wish I could show y’all a picture of what I see. After I started thinking about it I really don’t know how much of this was me trying to aim and how much was me naturally point shooting. Someone starting out wouldn’t be able to point shoot unless they had some drills that I can’t imagine.

I’m thinking maybe it was a color issue, such as white text on white background? Im using the dark theme.

Dow up 300.. 4 beers 2 shots later work still sucks 9mm .60+cents that's all I got

Welcome to TGO, at this time Tennessee is still red, may be purple and then blue. Depends on if people wise up or not. I came from Mississippi and have always loved Tennessee as a vacation destination. I don't like cities, I currently reside in the smallest populated county in Tennessee at about 5,079 people. I can't imagine living in a country like you described. A lot of Americans have the same viewpoint as the guys/gals on TGO. I won't speak for them, but I will say this. " I WILL NOT COMPLY", with any gun laws that are unconstitutional, they can take a hike. I hope you find a place that will meet your needs and you can find peace and quiet. Mac

I'd check the classified ads below.

Was pretty clear that I don't understand why anyone would move away from a place where politics made it uninhabitable, and then vote for those same policies in the new place. I'm not as partisan as people I know in the US. I don't blindly follow a party if/when they start going insane. Currently the only party making any sense at all is Republican, but you also get guys like the Texas governor reciting liberal talking points. Up here the conservative party is chock full of red cons (that's what we call a liberal acting as a conservative, our liberals are red). I wouldn't vote for a guy that just wears the badge, I want to know what his policies really are, what he/she would do if they were elected. But again, right now the democrats are batc#### crazy. Pelosi is insane, and a threat to democracy, but that's just my opinion. That said, I definitely understand your concern. I share it, as I am worried that Nashville will go full liberal, and they might have the voting power for the state. Suddenly I'm right back in a socialist environment, and damn straight I don't want that. Thing is, according to the immigration lawyer, they are only processing green cards from 2008, so I won't be able to vote for decades, I'm not in the game, so not a big concern. Not so for NY or Cali migrants... I have to stress, we are leaving here because we are capitalists. I like making money, I like making jobs, I like people that have pride in themselves and pride in their work. I despise unions, all of them. I was in the UAW for almost 20 years, and it's a cancer. Up here in the 'great white north' people that don't live in the cities still work for their supper. Sure, we don't mind helping someone who is really in need, I mean who doesn't, but just handing everything over to people who just don't want to work...that's crazy. Unfortunately, people like me are a dying breed up here.

You will want to remove the mold and drywall. Once dry, Mold will not grow but you don't just leave the material with mold just sitting there. You could also left the corner of the carpet and check to make sure the backing has not started to de laminate or make sure there is no mold growing under the carpet or pad.

you can judge a person's character with tops bbq... When I hear that a person like tops BBQ I am like...really...! Now with that being said, I keep hearing they make good cheeseburgers even from people who agree their BBQ sucks.

I'm honestly surprised something to this extent, or much worse, wasn't attached to the 1.9T bill. I don't have much hopes that it will fail in the Senate. And again, I'm honestly surprised UBC's weren't passed during Obama's presidency. UBC's are a feel good measure that a lot of casual gun-owners (Fudd) support. On the contrary, I argue that if someone isn't incarcerated they should be able to purchase a firearm. If they have proven themselves to be so dangerous they cannot own a firearm, perhaps they shouldn't be on the streets.

What will keep TN a great state is the refugees not voting in the same high cost social programs and policies that they are fleeing from. Don't move here and then vote for that same stupid sh*t here. Thanks for sharing the gun policies of Canada, yes, you would like it here. Note: Nashville and Memphis have the same problems as most metro areas, if I worked there, I'd commute up to an hour in.

Nothing really to add other than congratulations finding your new home, especially in this market! Make sure your gutters stay clear and with a new diverter, you should be good to go. We run a dehumidifier 24/7, empty it every 2-3 days depending on rain. Side note: spray surface mold with a vinegar mixture, not bleach. Don't know why, but it seems to work better.

I can think of more things to spend $10,000.00 on and it won't be a reloading press. They look good, but I'll stay with what I have.

Brain size and thinking with the wrong head.

You've seen a lot of the Memphians in here refer to Tops. Tops is a fast food chain. And like I said, the place is terrible.

It is both a cooking method and a food. Verb vs noun. You can BBQ any meat, but as a food, it’s only pork and even more specifically, pulled or chopped pork shoulder/butt. Pork ribs are BBQ ribs. Beef ribs are exactly that, beef ribs.

Got to say after reading the title this was the first thing I thought of.

I find it all really cool, but with my job/lifestyle it’s not in the cards. But it’s cool having friends who are into it and can print stuff for you. Like Byrd who converted a family photo into a cool backlit diorama thingy. Wife, MIL and mom all loved it.

+1 on GT Distributors. I ordered a G19M blue label. It came in less than 2 weeks later. Incredibly easy people to do business with.

My Blue Label dealer ordered a G-45 MOS for me. Took about 2 weeks.
