Our power was out for about 6 hours, luckily about 2:00 am it started raining pretty hard so that really helped the firefighters.2 points

Upstairs at my house is a Remington Magnum Express 870 with deer barrel. The gun is loaded with five 3" #4 buckshot loads. The gun is plain. The gun patterns wonderfully with #4 buck and OO plus field loads. For other uses there is the original 28" vent rib barrel. If necessary, this rig would ,with factory deer barrel, work for anything smaller than Godzilla.2 points

So i never followed up on this. The second guy was given a memorial party... with a cash bar (don't get me started). That's how he lived and that's how people wanted to remember him. So, who am I to judge? However, I did grab the mic, tell a few funny stories and then point out that he had a problem, just like we all do, but often in different ways. Then I said sternly that if you're struggling with anything, find help. There's 50+ people in this room, i'm sure you could start here. Including with me. That's about the best I can offer.2 points

A "services offered, services needed" with locality. In these troubled times of woe and want, it might be nice to support fellow members of the board with their projects or if one were to be a practitioner of said Trade or vocation, might be amenable to providing services for fellow members. Ad example "Wanted in Tullahoma area, well driller for water well". Inversely, "well driller available Tullahoma and 150mi in any direction, call for TGO prices!" I've found this a great way to get good deals, finish projects, avoid taking chances on Facebook flakes, and most importantly SUPPORT FELLOW GUNNIES! Just a thought. In my previous vocation as one of the nation's premier FAL, AK, HK, GALIL, AR builders and firearms refinishers i was able to trade all manner of needed services for my labors, from legal representation to dentistry, BARTER remains untaxable and a great way to exercise independence from the ever-intrusive State.

First it was my wife's friend, age 47. Then it was her sisters husband, 56. Today its my high school buddies younger brother, 42. All that in the last few months. Several more friends and family who are well on their way. 1-2 of them I'm surprised haven't died yet. I've seen enough drunkenness and death around me that I don't think I'll ever take another drink. If you know someone like this. Please... don't be an enabler and just let them continue. Unless you want to bury them too.1 point

$700 Sale or Trade Value / CZ75 Compact / 9mm / No Rail / CZ Custom trigger / CZ Custom aluminum thin grips / 3 dot white sites / 4 magazines / 1 unknown brand plastic holster and one Fobus (I think) This is one of a couple of pistols I purchased from member Steelharp (may he rest in peace). It has sat in my collection for many years because I really wanted it and it's a phenomenal shooter, but I just don't like the way it fits my hand. There is an odd blemish on one side that I've circled in red. I found an M&P45 (Thanks The mailman!) so I've updated with my larger trade list and will trade up or down: Bergara Premier or HMR 6.5 Creedmoor Tikka CTR 6.5 Creedmoor PSA Jakl pistol 5.56 45 Colt revolvers, just not Single Action Army 5" barrel or less 1903a3 K31 I'm in Wilson County, but don't mind driving a bit especially if there is a brewery near by. Thanks again to everyone who helped me with sorting out this ad!1 point

It’s heartbreaking to watch someone lose themselves to alcohol, especially when they've tried to fight it. I’ve seen a relative go through the same, and what finally made a difference was getting help from a professional place like Abbeycare. It wasn’t just about stopping drinking; they helped with the mental side of it too, which was a game-changer. Sometimes, a structured program is the only way out.1 point

I’d love to find a pistol like that! Congrats on the pickup. Dan Wesson revolvers were quality made revolvers back in the day!1 point

Price increase to $3000 after finding more magazines and another case of ammo. So at least a dozen mags and one unopened case of ammo, along with a partially opened case, along with an uninstalled Fostech Echo II, folding brace, optional folding stock (not installed), Holosun optic with box and papers, sling, Magpul grip (not installed), and an UpLula mag loader. I'm just as happy to keep it. It runs well and it's my last AK, so I won't be parting any of it out. But if you're interested, contact info is listed above.1 point

As a psychotherapist (and the grandson and son of an alcoholic) one way I try to educate those who are drinking too much is to educate them on what's going on in the brain. Alcohol is dually reinforcing because it can both activate the brain’s reward processing system that mediates pleasure and reduce the activity of the brain’s systems that mediate negative emotional states such as stress, anxiety, and emotional pain. Sometimes, if a person can come to understand that the effects of ETOH on the brain affects the brain as a disease, that will lead them into getting help. To get folks to confront their usage, you gotta try every tool in the box . . . https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/cycle-alcohol-addiction1 point

So I was a Pall bearer for my buddy on Thursday. Sad affair. 6 hours later we got the call that a family member was found unconscious in a parking lot. Another alcoholic. He passed away at 3am this morning. Please please please.... If you struggle with alcohol...seek help. Don't be afraid to admit it and talk about it. Pray about it most importantly. It won't be an easy road, but there is a road to recovery. If you have loved ones who struggle, confront it. They may be angry with you, but what's worse, their disapproval or their early burial? Someone out there needs you/them. A wife, a child, a friend. It doesn't just ruin your life, it ruins theirs. Please get help. Hell, ping me privately. I will talk to anyone.1 point

I'm not for removal of alcohol either. I don't even begrudge folks for safely getting a buzz and using it as social lubricant. What I can't stand is the enabler and the taboo nature of telling someone they have a problem. "Hey hey, don't call Ted an alcoholic! You don't know what he's been through!". That's very true. I don't walk in Ted's shoes. But, do you know who else won't be walking in Ted's shoes soon? Ted. Because Ted is gonna die. Hope you're OK with that. I guess that's easier than hurting Ted's feelings.1 point

Sorry you keep encountering this, @NoBanStan. I agree with everyone involved in the tragedy of it all. I don't drink anymore for health reasons (made my blood pressure way easier to manage), and I don't miss it at all. I'll never be a prohibitionist because we saw how that worked, but if the world went dry, or reigned it in for their own reasons, that would make it a better place, I think.1 point

So sorry to hear this guys. Saying a prayer for all involved. I quit drinking when I was 26 years old. Too many times waking up and not knowing how I got there, the last time the lines crossed on the road. To this day I did not hurt myself or anyone else. I have not drank since then.1 point

It is truly sad. I learned at an early age that it wasn’t good. I stopped binge drinking and glad that I did. Sorry for the loss of your friends.1 point

Had a good buddy with that affliction that I invited to live with me and my then wife to give him a stable space to figure himself out. The house was bone dry but that didn't stop him. Looked into outside intervention which ended up being a dead end. Unless you are family (which his was far away and just treated him like an ATM) there's practically nothing you can do. He eventually bought a house and we moved elsewhere because watching the decline play out in real time was too much to bear. A couple years later, up to the usual imbibing ritual, he slipped and bonked his noggin' and that was it. Best and hardest thing I did was walk away because you can't help people that can't help themselves.1 point

Alcohol is just another drug that happens to be legal. Kids are told “never do drugs” by the same people who give them their first drink. Its potential for addiction and destructiveness should be respected as much as any other drug, but isn’t.1 point

It's a more powerful addiction than ppl seem to realize. I understand social drinking is widely accepted and promoted but some people allow it to consume their lives. Im thankful to have been exposed to the dark side at an early age and was shown what I didn't want to be when I grew up. Sadly some can't beat that devil in a bottle.1 point

Brother-in-law drank himself to death. Rehab never worked and he went many times. He was such a nice guy, too. The alcohol just seemed to "own" him and he couldn't escape it. Very sad. He was about 58 y/o. I had heard alcohol could kill you but never saw it happen until B-I-L. Now I know it's true. I feel bad for anyone w/an addiction. It's like the devil is in control.1 point
