  1. A 14 year old boy used a slingshot to save his 8 year old sister from a would be kidnapper. Smart and brave kid. https://www.theblaze.com/news/michigan-boy-thwarts-abduction-sister-slingshot

  3. This is a nice JM Marlin model 336 R.C. made in 1967 so no cross bolt safety. It is chambered in .30-30. The wood is in very good shape and the bluing is still strong. The bore is shiny, and the rifling looks sharp. It has had a sling stud added to the stock and there is one on the fore end band. It is missing the front sight hood. It currently has a Williams Peep sight attached. I am asking $800 $750 without the peep sight. If you want the peep sight, $850. $800 $750. I have decided to keep the peep sight for my 44Mag. I can post photos without the peep sight if wanted. Located in Nashville, for sale to folks 21 and older who can legally own a firearm. TN license or HCP flash. More photos upon request.

  4. These have been sitting in the safe for several years doing nothing. I thought I'd throw them out here just to see what I could get. Bear in mind that I don't need to sell them, I've just lost interest in them. Cash prices are firm for now. Forgive the pictures. I just ain't much of a photographer. Buyers must be Tennessee residents, be legal to buy a handgun, show ID and fill out a BOS. Beretta 85FS Cheetah .380 acp Made in 2016. This gun is in excellent condition. I've only fired 50 rounds through it. Function was flawless. Comes with 3 magazines, cardboard box, plastic case and all paper work. $650 Taurus PT-25 DAO .25 acp Excellent condition. This gun is Double Action Only. Comes with 2 magazines, plastic case and manual. $200 Possible trades: I'm open to just about anything. No shotguns or plastic guns. Always looking for 1911s, S&W, Colt or other quality revolvers, .22 rifles or pistols, Also kinda fond of oddballs. Make me an offer!

  5. I realize it is slightly off since he specified a rifle, but a 870 set up for slugs can work quite well and is a tad easier to run than a lever action.

  6. I’ll continue praying for you and her. Throughout my life I have earned the scars and a full, deep understanding of pain, anger, grief, fear. I know that I’m not the only one here. And even with all that, I cannot pretend to know and feel the depth of what you are going through. But I do understand that it is deep abiding pain. I can empathize with that part. Someone has already said it, but just know that you have people praying for you and your family. Nobody here can know just the right thing to say, and I’m scared to death that if I tried to say what I thought was the right thing at a time like this, the words would just seem hypocritical and empty. All I can do is pray for you, and that I will do.

  9. Here's the thing. IF they pass this, they know its illegal, they know the State is going to take them to court and they know they will lose. That means lawyers that the tax payer will have to pay for. How many thousands of tax payer dollars are they willing to spend just to make a stupid statement? Its a complete waste of time and money.

  12. Well the local news, Channel 3, made this there 2nd story at 10:00pm. Only a shooting beat it for top place. They're presenting it as if its a real thing that politicians want to make happen. https://wreg.com/news/local/memphis-city-council-members-propose-gun-reform-measures/ “We’re passing this ordinance understanding that we will be sued by the state of Tennessee,” Smiley said. “But we will stand our ground and make sure that people in the city of Memphis will be safe.” Just when you thought politicians couldn't get more stupid, one comes along to prove you wrong.

  13. Well I shot today first time since losing my finger. Tryed my rough rider 22 my shield plus and my 1911. I was able to hold them all just fine but was shooting 6-8 inches low with all of them. Just have to re learn how to do a steady grip I could see myself moving around in the sights. To top it off my rock island 1911 factory mag ( KCI) came apart inside the gun. Required a block of wood and a mallet to get the slide stop to move and inbind the gun. I inserted the mag and ran the slide and it stayed in the slide lock position. Kimber mag did fine.

  15. Looking to sell my Sig P365 or trade for a Glock 43x MOS. It has less than 50 rounds through it and was bought by me in 2021. Includes all warranty cards and everything that came in the original box. 3 magazines, papers, NRA coin, etc. This is the third Sig that I've bought and sold over the years. Every time I buy one I always think that this is going to be the Sig that strays me from Glock. Never is. Can't leave my first love. $500, in or around Nashville. Buyer must be 21+ and have Tennessee Carry License. Also, willing to trade for a Glock 43X MOS. New to this forum so I'm hoping all necessary information here.

  20. Kano was a Bandog Mastiff ... a friend use to breed some serious dogs that were used in one of the hulk movies and on the old fear factor show with Joe Rogan. Curly from the fear factor show was also one of Joes dogs. I had a male and a female from litters sired by Kano and Curly. Kano is the dog on a chain towards the end of the video he was still a young dog when Joe filmed it. A multi generation (strategically) Mixed bred dog for the purpose of realistic protection against humans. https://youtu.be/vu9U4es91B4 Kano at the end of the video. https://youtu.be/HN6_7jSyxrE Curly older but still a serious dog. https://youtu.be/3jdULSNQHTc Fear Factor the second time they were on TV.

  23. I know this is no consolation, but imagine if you never came into her life. I assume from your comment about her biological mother, that you and you family took her in and gave her a loving home. I hope and pray that a remedy for her ailments can be found and it works. You and your family have already made a huge difference for her life.

  29. So I bought the Macintosh in 1985 (borrowed $4500 at BB&T) because you could immediately create a document on it. (The PCs of the day required multiple steps to create a document.) I purchased the external hard drive to save my work on floppy disks. The reason I spent so much money on this "thing" was to write my doctoral dissertation. I kept each chapter on a separate disk. The longest chapter was Chapter Two. It had lots of tricky writing and documentation and took days to write. Late on a Wednesday night I put the finishing touches on the chapter. And as always, I was careful to save to the disk so I wouldn't lose anything. The Chapter Two icon was on the disk before I removed it from the Mac. Ending around 3 am, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. The longest and most difficult chapter was finished! A day later, I decided to look at chapter two again. I put in the disk, and it was blank. The icon with the title, "Chapter Two" was not on the disk. The disk was labeled "Chapter Two", so I was using the correct disk. In a true panic, I went through every other disk to see if I accidentally Chapter Two on another disk. It was nowhere to be found. Chapter Two totally vanished from the disk. I laid down on the floor and cried. Then I drank a large amount of vodka. And then I went to sleep. The rewrite started the next day and took three days to complete. Chapter Two was saved on 5 different disks. The story is true, but the names were not changed to protect the innocent.

  30. The AARP started as a marketing device for selling insurance to old people. Today it still sells insurance, but it also is a large lobbying organization that, while officially nonpartisan, spends tens of millions of dollars each year lobbying for programs espoused by the Democratic Party. And of course, more gun control is one of those programs. Cheers, Whisper

  34. Same for me, but not AOL. I wanted a Star Wars handle back in the early days of the Interwebz, but of course all the common characters were taken and I didn't want to be BobaFett3728 or Vader7561. I landed on monkeylizard as the first obscure SW thing I could find that wasn't already taken. It's what Jabba the Hutt's pet thing is.

  35. I understand times change, but it's a little different with things like technology changing and your moral values changing. For instance, I don't want a electric vehicle, but the current trend is to eventually do away with ICE vehicles. I won't like it but I suspect if I live long enough I could very well be driving a EV. I will not change or adapt my moral values, and I will submit anybody willing to do so didn't have very good values to start with. It's also up to us older people to instill our moral values into the younger people. I just can't buy into the notion that we should just accept changing times and jump on board or get left behind. Like has been said "you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything".

  36. While this comment from Kennedy may not apply to this particular murderer, it is something I was not aware of. No tinfoil hat, but the influence of Big Pharma should be concerning Robert Kennedy Jr.: “With all of these shootings nobody’s looking at the pharmaceutical contribution to that. Anecdotally, it appears that almost every one of these shooters were on SSRIs or some other psychiatric drug. And this is only happening in America where all of these people are taking these psychiatric drugs. We take four times as many [psychiatric drugs] as any other country in the West. The average European country, something happened. Prior to the introduction of Prozac, those shootings just were almost unknown, and now they’re an everyday affair. But NIH will not study that because it will offend the pharmaceutical industry. And it’s something that we ought to be studying.”

  37. The Rock Band RUSH is one of my favorites, and they have a song called The Analog Kid. I'm an IT Engineer, working with computers every day. On that same album is a song named Digital Man, and you would think with my profession I would identify more with that song. However, even tho I work on Nerdy stuff, I'm definitely not a Nerd. I don't like video games, and once work is done, I turn of the tech. I'm into outdoor stuff, and am more happy when there is no electricity nearby. So, Analog Kid fits better

  41. My hair went gray in my mid 30s. Its a family trait. When my son's were young, I spent 12 years as a Boy Scout Leader. During that time I took an advanced Scoutmaster training course called Wood Badge where I was assigned to the Fox Patrol. It took my fellow scouters all of about 30 seconds to dub me "The Gray Fox". The nickname just sorta stuck.

  45. Yes! I found myself in awe of some of the people involved. I found myself in tears several times listening to them - that despite everything they’ve been through they not only had their faith intact - but were thriving. Some of those bonus episodes left me so hopeful. There’s a saying that I love - and use often, and it’s “as churches were going to disappoint you. And when we do - don’t leave. Because if you leave you’re going to miss the Spirit shining through and filling in those cracks.” I think we’re witness to that here. The Spirit is still at work. That’s the whole crux of it to me. If I can take the liberty of preaching the gospel - salvation comes to communities. I need my people. My family needs our people. It’s one thing when things are going great in our lives - faith is pretty easy the. But life is hard sometimes - and that’s when a local faith community is so important. Sometimes you need someone who can prop you up. Sometime you need someone who can believe for you for a while. And maybe sometimes I can be that person for someone else. I believe in a new heavens and new earth. But I also fully believe that eternity starts today - and that we can participate in it starting today. Despite the brokenness - the beauty can still shine through. All that to say - let me offer encouragement on that journey. Glad you enjoyed the podcast. You must’ve been listening in your sleep - that was a commitment.

  47. There is little doubt that he did do a considerable amount of planning what he was going to do. His Manifesto provides that. He was smart enough to purchase all his firearms from individual sellers to avoid back ground checks. I have made the statement several times and I will make it again. "Just because a person is crazy does not make them stupid"!!! He went prepared to do much more damage and killing than he did. The one thing he didn't count on was 1 single police officer being nearby being prepared to do his job. The officer was a blessing and a hero.

  48. They took a hit initially, but many have short memories and would buy from the devil himself if the price was right. I personally haven't stepped foot in there since, not only because of the woke stance, but because I am not impressed with their prices, offerings or customer service. I am sure they don't miss me, and that's ok, I will spend my money elsewhere.
