  3. Y'all need a couple of these..... I've been doing to get one for The Wife. We have 14 feeders hanging around the house & on a good day it sounds like the Smurf Airforce around here! Sent from a mountain somewhere, using telepathy.

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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?

  17. 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.

  19. Here's a short article about someone that stopped to confront another driver that was following too close. I don't get it. In todays asinine world, it's far better to pull over and let the vehicle pass and avoid getting shot or getting into a gunfight with an AH. Both of these guys were old enough to know better than this crap. http://www.chattanoogan.com/2016/7/31/328943/Suspect-In-Road-Rage-Shooting-On-Dowlen.aspx

  20. Of course this will be seen as a fault of the system, even though he was not allowed to own a firearms it will be seen as a fault of the gun not the perpetrator. http://www.newschannel5.com/news/local-news/father-charged-in-fatal-shooting-of-11-year-old

  25. 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...

  26. Use a vertical cellphone holder. Cut out the shape of the mag from the dark foam packing insert. Nobody notices because everybody has a cellphone. Even carry my own phone in a carrier next to it and never have had a second look. Anybody says anything I'll just say one is company and the other my personal. Take your mag with you and make sure the case is tall enough and has a n insert.

  27. This is not a great photo but it's one that I took Sunday during the second day of the NRA 200 Singles event. My son and I were on bank 12 and we had a brief mechanical delay going on so I snapped a picture looking to the west from the line. My son shot a 99 and a 97 in the NRA 200 event. His score of 196 earned him runner up in D class. Below is the trophy he won. I did not leave totally empty handed. I played the Jackpot Lewis option in the Krieghoff Handicap event. My score of 91 earned me a whopping $39.20!

  29. 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!

  30. You can practice but I recommend you just go shoot them but take the following into consideration. 80% of the ducks that are missed is because we don't lead them enough and are behind them. The other 20% are missed way behind.

  32. Those were the days! I have the paperwork for my Ithaca 1911bought from the Army back in 1964 for $17.50, and $7.50 of that was shipping by REA. I wish that's what I paid for it.

  33. 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 30

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  36. Pointing a gun at a woman walking in the phone sitting in her own car on likely a public road? Uncalled for. Checking up on a random car sitting in the neighborhood to see what's going on? That's fine. If it is an overreaction how come three cops had two pistols and an AR to go question the guy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  38. 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!
