  1. I'm just thinking that say they get the wrong house.  They kick in the door and the homeowner shoots them.  If I'm on that jury I think I would tend to be pretty sympathetic towards that homeowner. 
  2. Just sent a buddy of mine who works for MPD an email telling him that I knew a guy that could dispose of all of the guns and ammo they take in for a reasonable fee. 
  3. In regards to shooting through a pocket make sure that you are carrying ammo that the fibers from your clothes will not clog up the hollow point and cause the bullet not to expand.  I have a friend that does a lot of ballistics testing and I've seen certain bullet designs get clogged up by shooting them through something as simple as a beach towel.  Of course this should be a concern with all defensive ammo but when you are knowingly planning on possible putting that bullet through another layer it may be something to take into consideration.
  4. I for one love my Kimber.  I have an Ultra II.  I bought it from a friend because I shot it and really liked it, told him if he ever wanted to sell it that I wanted dibs.  He called me a few months later and we made a deal.  I have no regrets, I love that gun and would not have offered to buy it from him had I not enjoyed shooting it so much. 
  5. Been wanting to go on a dog shoot for years.  Thing is I work seasonally and my work season coincides with when the dogs are most active.  My dad has been wanting to go for years as well, he's never been much of a hunter, more of a shooter so I never really got to hunt with him much.  I would love to take a week, even if I did have to skip some work to take dad while I still have the opportunity. 
  6. I don't mind to buy a gun that I can't get ammo for if I can get it at a really good price.  It will all come back around eventually or the poopoo will hit the fan one.  If option two then I'm not worried about buying guns for recreational purposes and any gun that I buy at this point is pretty much for recreational purposes. 
  7. Here we are almost 2 months after my initial post and I have another problem related to the mounting of this safe.  We are moved into the house and I have installed engineered wood flooring in all of the bedrooms.  I had the idea of putting the safe in our bedrooms walk in closet and flooring around it.  Well, I got the safe in the closet and realized that it's just not going to work in there as there is not enough room to access the safe comfortably.  What I'm wanting to do now is move it back into the bedroom, however I am worried about setting a 700 pound safe on a floating floor.  Anyone have experience with floating floors that can give me some advice?  Only other option at this point is to put it in the garage which I really don't want to do because of the extreme temps out there, plus I just like my guns to be in the house.
  8.   Maybe dirtbag isn't an accurate description, I just don't care for the guy.  I don't care for the way he drops F bombs left and right one minute then climbs up on his high horse and preaches the gospel the next minute.  None of us Christians are perfect but I feel that he sets a poor example.  I've also heard him take anti 2nd A stances numerous times which does nothing to favor him for me. 
  9. Bounty hunting can be as honorable of a profession as anything else that's legit.  Scum bags like Dogg give the profession a bad name, and I'm sure that there are a lot of mall ninja types that do the same.  Seems that in certain cases they are justified breaking doors down but they better be damn sure they are in the right before they do. 
  10. Open carry is legal but not widely practiced, if you choose to open carry you may have to answer some questions from noisy people who can't mind their own business and law enforcement as well.  No limits on mag capacity.  Concealed carry is fine of course.  No duty to retreat.  Restaurants and bars are only forbidden if they are properly posted, but if you are drinking do not carry.  Beware when you are hiking, some parks are okay and some are not, any National Parks are fine and state parks are okay though many are still posted from when it was not legal to carry in state parks, many local parks have ordinances that prohibit carry so research where you are going, you can probably find most of that information here on TGO, or ask specifically and someone can probably answer your specific question.  Not a whole lot you have to worry about in TN, about the only time I'm not carrying is when I have to go into a government building, as I avoid restaurants and other privately owned establishments that forbade carry.
  11. I see a lot of people here are pocket carrying.  How much are you guys practicing your draw from pocket carry?  I used to pocket carry my 642 for years.  One day last summer at work I had a bear encounter and had to draw quickly, it took me forever to get it out.  I am in a unique work situation in that it is okay for me to OC at work so I do now.  That was the last day I pocket carried and that was the last day I carried a .38.  The .38 is great for 2 legged critters but in bear and hog country I carry something a little bigger and easier to get to.
  12. I would wear something that maybe just had the wording on it, or maybe a different picture.  I'm with you guys the graphic just gives off that feeling of your typical wanna be gangster white suburban kid.
  13. I bought myself a shirt before the big rally in Nashville a couple of months back.  Front and back has a picture of an AR-15 and the words "Come and take it" on the front and back,the back in a pretty large print.  I've worn the shirt several times but no one has commented on it, admittedly I don't get out into public all that often and have a habit of wearing a light jacket a lot to help with concealment.  A couple of days ago happened to be wearing the shirt when I went to run some errands.  I had to go by the court house which is a no civilians with guns zone and I wanted to drive the convertible, I will not leave my gun unattended in that car because the locks don't work so I just left the gun at home.  As I ran my errands I had two people approach me at different stores and compliment my shirt.  The cool thing was that I no one said anything negative about it.  I know that you will get away with that kind of thing better down here in rural Blount County than you will a lot of other places but I was glad to get a positive reaction. 
  14. Several years ago I took a young man under my wing that wanted to learn how to deer hunt.  One weekend we went and stayed at my grandmothers house to hunt.  Tradition is there to get up kill your deer bring in the tenderloins and grandma fries them up and makes biscuits and gravy.  Yeah, it is pretty awesome!  So we get the deer and are finally around to breakfast when I realize this boy doesn't know how to eat biscuits and gravy.  He cut a biscuit in half and used a fork to spoon a little on the biscuit and then put the biscuit back together like a gravy sandwich.  After watching him for a while I finally showed him how to properly eat gravy and biscuits since it was a learning weekend and all.
  15. I was in the lawncare business about 10 years ago.  The only remaining pieces of equipment that I still have are my trailer and my Shindawa trimmer.  That thing has been great.  They are about $400, or were 10 years ago but never seem to wear out.  I used Stihl before I started using Shindawa and would go through a Stihl every season.
  16. I enjoy Facebook and use it nearly daily, it has really simplified keeping up with friends and family.  Hope this is not a permanent policy change, I've really been surprised that something like this hasn't happened already.  Of course you can't have a discussion here or anywhere else about Facebook without a few people chiming in about how they don't like Facebook, if you don't like it don't use it, no one is holding a gun to your head telling you to use it, so why spout off like you are in some way superior to the people who get satisfaction out of using it?
  17. It was Capitol, then Carl Black, Carl Black went belly up, now it's CB Collision.  From what I understand CB has no affiliation with Carl Black, just a coincidence.
  18. I bet you could take that rig out in public and hardly anyone would notice it.  Sure that took a lot of fiddlin' to get it to work the way that you wanted it to, looks like a clean job!
  19. Initially I was in for one but since Pineapple Doucher made an ass of himself and is unworthy of a TGO lower I will commit to another as well in order to keep the costs low for my TGO brethren.  Besides I have this evil plan where I will build my wife her own, thinking a 9mm.  And then I will build one for myself, thinking 300BLK.  As long as I build hers first I don't think she can object to mine, I'm new to the married game, am I doing it right?   On another note I would like to thank everyone who is putting this buy together.  I wish more people would realize that this is a terrific deal and to quit worrying about serial numbers, .308 compatible lowers, matching uppers and the like, this offer is what it is take it or leave it.  As a facilitator or previous group buys I know that it is much simpler to offer one item than to try to cater to everyone's needs/ wants.  Not trying to be a jerk but for those complaining just think about how much extra work yours and everyone else's tiny requests would be to fulfill.    Oh yeah the TGO branded suppressor comes thrown in free with this right?

    Large dog toys

    Can't remember the name of them but they are made out of old firehoses and are quite durable.  My feist doesn't tear them up but he seems to tear up most everything else.  Don't know how durable it would be with a dog of your caliber.
  21. CB Collision off of Elm Hill Pike, where the old Capitol Chevrolet body shop was.  Stand up people that will do you right.
  22. Thanks for the advice everyone.  I'll put some paint over the primer before I get it anchored.
  23. The safe in question is a Canon, not sure if all safes area manufactured this way but if you have a Canon you may want to check up on this.  I had the safe mounted in a bedroom on a wood floor with a basement underneath.  It was like this for about a year with no problems.  I had to move temporarily, when I got to the new place the safe resided on a linoleum floor over a slab foundation.  Fortunately I only lived there for about 4 months, otherwise my safe would have been destroyed over time.  When I got ready to move the safe there was a large puddle of a dark nasty substance under it, upon closer inspection I found that it was rust, lots of rust.  Once I got the safe to the new house I took a wire brush to it and got all of the rust off, I then hit it with a good shot of automotive primer.  I will be putting a moisture barrier under it and a piece of plywood as well, I want to take these precautions because it is going onto a slab foundation again.  For some unknown reason the bottom of the safe is bare metal, no idea why they did not put paint on it.
  24. The article states that he is prohibited from owning handguns.  Aren't felons prohibited from owning any firearms?  Are they just using the term handguns because they are stupid, ignorant, or trying to be sensational?
