Are there any middle TN gun shops that either buy guns or sell on consignment? Bass Pro or Cabela’s buys guns. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s do not purchase modern muzzleloaders, black powder or air guns. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/we-buy-guns

Thank you for answering my question regarding the walkability of the sporting clay courses at Cross Creek Clays.

I have had my credit card information stolen three different years. Each time they tested my credit card with a $1 or $1.50 small transaction. One time they charged my credit card with a small transaction to test that the card was still valid and then issued a credit for the same amount. Since both of those transactions were pending transactions, I would have not known about the test if I relied on seeing the transactions on my statement. However, I have text and email alerts setup on my credit card which alerted me to the test transactions. I have text and email alerts setup with all my financial institutions. Each year I renew my fraud alert with one of the credit report companies which gets shared to the other two credit report companies to make it harder for someone to open a new credit account in my name.

I shot sporting clays at TCTC many years ago and I enjoyed the variations at each stand. I always had problems with the "rabbit" clay disk rolling and bouncing at high speed on the ground. TCTC only has one sporting clay course, but at the time I went to TCTC, they change the clay machines and difficulty frequently so the course is not the same. One time I went on a weekend after they had a tournament for the sporting clays and the stands were still setup for the tournament. Needless to say, I did not score well. I think my score was 20's or 30's out of the 100 clay targets. I still had a good time. I noticed that the Cross Creek Clays website said you can get golf carts. Is the distance from the clubhouse to the various courses very far away or very difficult terrain that would prevent walking? I would think the distance between stands on a given course would be easily walkable. I would prefer walking and talking with the group as long as the terrain was not like a difficult hike in the woods with steep inclines and declines. EDIT: For those new to the middle TN area, Nashville Gun Club (TCTC) offers more than just sporting clays. https://www.nashvillegunclub.com/

Thank you for the information of this facility. Which course did you shoot at Cross Creek Clays? Red, White or Blue? Have you been to TCTC (Nashville Gun Club) and shot their sporting clay course?

I watched this PBS Frontline Tuesday night and thought the program did a great job explaining how we got this point of bank failures. There are many reasons that caused the financial crisis we are currently experiencing today. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/age-of-easy-money/

Cerelyn “C.J.” Davis was also heading the Atlanta REDDOG unit at the time when the mayor cancelled the unit in 2011 due to to a multitude of accusations of excessive force, police brutality, illegal searches, and a violation of civil rights. https://atlantadailyworld.com/2023/01/30/police-chief-in-tyre-nichols-investigation-once-served-on-infamous-red-dog-unit-fired-over-sex-crime-scandal/ Fired in Atlanta by the Chief in 2008, Ms. David appealed and was reinstated. https://www.union-bulletin.com/news/national/memphis-police-chief-was-once-fired-from-then-reinstated-to-atlanta-police-department/article_b193124f-3236-5206-8004-ec7d4b9450e4.html

A 6th officer has been relieved of duty and is under investigation. Officer Preston Hemphill has been relieved of duty during an ongoing investigation and was relieved at the beginning of their internal investigation Jan. 8 into the circumstances which eventually led to Nichols' death. https://www.localmemphis.com/article/news/crime/sixth-memphis-police-officer-tyre-nichols-death-relieved-of-duty/522-24da4839-7397-4536-8ac4-0c62e915367f

Three sequels. Cocaine Squirrels, Cocaine Chipmunks and of course Cocaine Chipmunks & Squirrels. Cocaine Chipmunks, Scene 1: A couple and their two children are having lunch on a blanket in the park on a temperate sunny day when suddenly the blanket is ripped open in the center with cocaine crazed chipmunks emerging mistaking the powdered sugar donuts the humans are actively eating as cocaine donuts triggering the murderous chipmunks into a killing rage at the family. Let your imagination take over as each family member is killed in a different manner from the killer cocaine chipmunks. Now where are my royalty payments for screen writing?

I sense another Hollywood attempt at a Sharknado franchise. This time it is a bear. If the cocaine bear is profitable, the next sequel will be a cocaine mountain lion (darker comedy) followed by the sequel cocaine squirrels (light hearted comedy). Then the shocker sequel of cocaine giant pandas.

Correct. Here is an article regarding the real story.

Where do you buy your unroasted coffee beans and what region are the coffee beans grown for home roasting? What is the flavor notes to the coffee? In Nashville, there is a coffee shop called Crema that imports micro batches of unroasted beans from all over the world and fresh roast them onsite. I would buy a bag based on their roast level and flavor notes listed on the bag. Surprisingly, coffee can a lot of different flavor notes like floral, citrus, caramel, dark chocolate (bitter dark chocolate) or milk chocolate (I haven't found that one yet). The problem I encountered is when I found a specific coffee bean at Crema that I liked, I could not buy that micro batch anymore. Great job on the turkey. Dinner time!

From the article: I wonder if the ATF compliance inspection in 2016 was before the robbery or the result of the 2016 robbery.

Good point given that Franklin Gun Shop to my knowledge had been robbed twice. January 28, 2021 Approximately 41 Guns Stolen The keyword is approximately. Article at this link. December 26, 2016 Article at this link. Are they sure no guns were stolen given the missing record keeping?

The OutPost Armory opened in the former Franklin Gun Shop location on 9/20/22 and they bought some of Franklin Gun Shop's inventory. The link below explains the reason for the demise of the Franklin Gun Shop. https://williamsonsource.com/owners-of-franklin-gun-shop-plead-guilty-to-federal-charges/

How is market freedom (or free market) for healthcare working so well that you think everything is going just fine? Is it the insurance companies being able to drop people because their healthcare needs are getting too expensive? Is it insurance companies denying payment for pre-existing conditions? Is it healthcare providers reducing staff to patient ratios to help the bottom line? Is it the uninsured that uses ER services that are causing many hospitals and states to go into red? Some hospitals are closing their ERs. For profit hospital companies avoid certain markets and let the states suffer the losses. In essence, cherry picking their profit centers and leaves the rest to the taxpayer. Is it a healthcare system that is more focused on reactive care than preventive care? Do you think without the government stepping into healthcare that they can merely legislate insurance companies and healthcare providers to work towards giving everyone affordable healthcare and to focus more on preventive care rather than the bottom line profit? For those of you against the change to the healthcare system, what are the solutions to these problems?

Again you are making sensationalistic statements. It is not a law that companies have to outsource to India in order to comply with healthcare changes that are being proposed. Companies are choosing to outsource the jobs. As I stated in my post, companies are looking for ways to outsource more expensive USA labor for cheaper labor. In the past, it was blue collar jobs. Now it is white collar engineering and technical jobs.

Based on your response, you did not even take the time to view the program I recommended unless you consider Great Britain, Japan, Germany and Switzerland to be communist countries.

When people complain about our current healthcare system and then complain about the planned change to healthcare, ask yourself this question, was the current system going to lower costs of healthcare and provide healthcare to all citizens in the future? Answer is no. When I watched the healthcare roundtable debate Obama had with certain Democrats and Republicans, it was amazing the lack of common sense just because Republicans wanted to hold the party line. Mind you, I am not a Democrat nor a Republican supporter. During the daylong debate that was televised live, Republicans wanted to “ease into change†by creating different pools of insured people. One Democrat compared the Republican approach of using different pools to segregation of races earlier in American history. However, instead of races, it was segregating people’s healthcare needs into pools that undermine the goal of spreading out the cost of the premiums by having one insurance pool of people paying into the premiums. To me, having one pool makes perfect sense to avoid those people with healthcare needs from being where we are today by charging them the most. Like it or not, as you age, you are going to increase your healthcare needs. Therefore, for those who have no healthcare needs today, you will in the future and at the rate we are going, you will not be able to afford it when you need it. One program I wish more Americans should have watched is an excellent PBS Frontline program called Sick Around The World.

This is off topic. There are plenty of jobs in technical fields that are being outsourced to India, China and Brazil. IBM laid off some of their IT people in the USA due to the recession and then quietly shift the jobs to India. Meanwhile, USA companies lobby congress to allow more H1B1 visas because they cannot find the engineers or technical talent in the USA. Uh-huh. Now back to our regularly scheduled topic.

Thanks Dave! The link now works correctly.

When I tried to click the Mark Forums Read link near the bottom right hand side of the webpage after clicking on New Posts, I get an error message box: Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid. Per the message box, I click on the inform administrator, however, when I clicked submit, I got the same error above. So I do not think it sent the email/PM/whatever to the administrator. So I am reporting the issue in the TGO Support forum just in case the message was not received.
