  1. I find it harder and harder to chat with people about the blessings mankind finds in belief in the Christ. Seems few are interested anymore. Most important thing in life, IMO, is "To prepare for the next realm." because we are not destined to stay in this one. That is why we die. I am looking for Abrahams bosom, by putting my faith in Christ, when I enter into the next realm (life) we all will go too,(Luke 16:22). that will be "The realm of departed Spirits." That is if Christ does not come back to earth before my demise. If He does then we will all go to judgment. Believers into Abrahams Bosom,(Jewish term for a place of great comfort)(English term "Heaven"), non believers into torment.(English term "Hell"). "Choices," each and every one of us (CHOICES). Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." (John 14:6) Believe it guys and gals. Edited to add; Make a good choice today. Easter Sunday

  6. Buck up little camper, the harvest is great and the workers are few. He gives us the choice each day to reflect the light of Christ and fulfill the potential he sees in each and every one of us; to be living examples of Jesus in this world of darkness. Let your words, actions and prayers be the example to gather other to Him through you. For me, the blessings are so overwhelming, I can only say thank you for saying, "yes."

  8. 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

  10. Recently purchased a Holosun 507cV2 to try out. Mainly due to Holosun's pretty good recent reviews and lower cost since it is my first try out of red dots on pistols. One reputable training company that I somewhat follow has been working with red dot pistols for sometime basically recommends RMR's and then Holosuns. However other red dots out there may work fine. Good Luck!

  13. Traditionally the Peacekeeper never brought big money. It was always a 600-1000 gun. The .357 is collectible. Unless the condition is pristine they usually bring in the 900-1600 range. 5-8 years ago they brought more but have fallen off a little recently. Now this is pre COVID pricing. The way things are now the value could be higher. Get on gunbroker advanced search and look at actual sold guns for value. Don’t look at what people are asking.

  21. Trying to go the budget route on a slide mounted dot isn’t wise. Anything that cheap is going to have problems sooner or later. Something like a Vortex Venom is about as low as I’d go, and if you don’t like it, you will still be able to get your money back out of it.

  28. 80+ million patriots. Excellent odds, that's all I have to say. There's simply not enough people realistically ready/willing to conduct any type of active protest here. We're conditioned to be some of the nicest people in the whole world, and it's just not in our nature to question authority too much, it's simply not polite. I feel bad for the fellow Canadians that feel as I do. So many good people you'd feel safe leaving your kids with for the weekend. Those of us concerned with the lack of accountability by government, hypocrisy in the media, and erosion of good family values, but too far spread out and things like snitch lines coming to life. It's one of those "are we really going to be the next venezuela?"

  29. 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.

  30. 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.

  31. Again, I know I'm posting WAY TOO MUCH, but when I've got a goal or destination in mind, I fixate lol. If anyone has any questions about gun ownership in Canada, please ask. I think I've owned every gun that's legal to own up here, from single shot 22's to my bucket gun the benelli M4. I grabbed a tavor X95 the other day because I've never owned one (kind of growing on me). I own 4 AR-15's which are now slated for destruction. Just like that and done overnight by a coward, bypassing parliament. I also have ~10 handguns that I'm in various levels of love with. All of these are registered, cannot be removed from the house without a permit to transport, and ONLY to an approved range. The ARs are now paperweights, they can no longer be taken outside, and when the deadline comes, I am to call the police, and have them come to my house and pick them up for destruction. Period. The handguns may be banned by municipalities, and the council in this town is "progressive", meaning damn straight they'll try and ban those too. When I see the dems talking about "just a bit of registration or purchase records, or licenses" I know that's where they're going with it. Americans MUST resist any and all "gun control". I agree that anyone with a gun should have some sort of training in order to use them, but to attach that to a license as they did here...no way. I believe that's going to be their next step, they will say that in order to own a firearm you need to prove that you took a gun safety course (public safety again!!), and the proof will be a license. Now they know that YOU likely have guns at your premises. Then they go to the governor and say "oh gosh, look how many people have guns in your state, you should be scared, maybe it's best if you knew HOW MANY guns there are"...and it progresses. I mean I'm not sure who's in charge of America right now (I know it's not that dementia-puddle biden), but I know they are going to push gun control hard now that they hold so much power. You MUST resist. The cry of "public safety" is being used to scare the sheep, and scared sheep come for the farmer's guns. .......I don't even like politics. I hate that I have to be looking into politics this deep, but damn, I just lived through 30 years of what you guys are about to come up against, and the tune hasn't changed a bit I watched a lot of the CPAC stuff that managed to make it online. I think I fell in love with Kristi Noem. Good thing South Dakota is colder than Canada, or I'd likely want to go there lol. It's so refreshing to hear someone talking common sense, instead of the gibberish that comes from the media these days. It gives me hope that the good guys (and gals) will win in the end. I keep telling my wife "we're not on the wrong side of this, we're not far right nazis, we're just people who like freedom, pickup trucks and apple pie".

  34. I understand your concerns, but I think the permit system is a false sense of security. Lets face it, any idiot can pass the HCP class. Shoot, when I took mine we graded our own papers, and as long as nobody got shot at the range you passed that part. I do think that when a cop runs your license or sees your HCP and sees that you are a HCP holder it eases their mind a little, because it tells them right away that you at least can pass a background check.

  35. When I was at UT in the early 80's, they had a Rifle Team (more of a club), that I was a member of. We had several 54s that were assigned to us. We also shot Fienwicbow ( I butchered that spelling, I know) air rifles indoors, too. We used to shoot against Tennessee Tech and get our clocks cleaned on a regular basis. Later, in the Army Reserve, I shot on the ARCOM Rifle Team, and was issued a Winchester 52 with all the accessories you see here. I also was issued a NM M-14, a NM Colt 1911a1 and a Target Ruger MkII with the 6 7/8" bull barrel. And all the ammo I could us!!! Those were the days! Then Clinton killed the program.

  39. Bud's Gun in Sevierville is suppose to be biggest gun shop in TN and has an attached range. I have bought a couple of guns from them. Smoky Mountain Knife Works is next door and has a large gun area and a lot of neat knives. Lots of smaller shops depending on where you land. I'm about 90 minutes from Bud's and try to make it down a couple of times a year. It is a good place to take liberals just to see their head explode from the long guns out on the floor that you can pick up and look at. Handguns are behind the counter or in cases, too easy to walk away so you have to ask to handle them. Full auto and suppressors are federally controlled and require a federal license per item and take 6 months plus to get one.
