  1. Thank you Speaker Williams! No need to keep rehashing the same arguements.
  2. Oh, I realize that intelligent people can disagree. I don't doubt that the Governor listened to other points of view. However, if he was vetoing this based on his beliefs, what he thinks is best, etc., I don't see why he would want the whole dog and pony show he put on. That is one reason I believe he was thinking of his political future. He waited several days to act, chose to usher in a bunch of appointed civil servants to stand behind him, and didn't even notify the bill's sponsors what his plans were.
  3. I can plainly see how/why you interpreted the Governor's remarks this way. However, I feel that if the curfew restrictions were in place, he would have mentiond going into a bar on a Saturday night at 10:00pm instead of midnight. Personally, I believe the Governor wanted to veto this based on his personal beliefs and his potential political future. No curfew or other restrictions would have saved it.
  4. I've already emailed my Rep (Harwell) and Sen (Jackson) asking for their support in overriding the veto. Harwell hasn't voted for the bill yet -- I made it clear that my future support (votes, time, and money) are contingent on her voting to override the veto. Jackson has been a big supporter of ours and I made sure to thank him. Their phones will be ringing tomorrow also. I also emailed the Governor and asked for his resignation...
  5. You can get a secure key from paypal for (I think) $5. Its a one time fee and then you must provide your username, password and 6 digit code from the secure key to log in. The only other way to log in is to request paypal call you on a number you provided when you were logged in with the secure key. Basically it means you can only access your account with the key. I've put lots of $$ through paypal over the years.
  6. Just make sure you are facing east, stand on one foot, and squint your right eye and it should go back together. These things are a pain unless you take them apart very often. I sometimes get the feel for how they go back together if I'm stripping mine often enough. If its too long between range sessions, I just pull out the manual and get ready to be frustrated!
  7. Let me try! Let me try! Option 1: Please post the specific TCA reference you keeping claiming exists. Preferable, highlight the section that supports your stance. Option 2: Welcome to my ignore list.
  8. Great point (and link), SomeGuy. I forget that not everyone here is a TFA member or might not check the TFA forum often. Its a great resource.
  9. The non-concur motion did not get 50 votes. It was 45-44. Also, two of the reps you state in an earlier post would support a clean bill (Bass and McCord) voted YES on the non-concur. I would like to be as optimistic as you about a clean bill passing, but I don't trust the house. The vote on the non-concur motion just does not make sense unless 1) the house members were confused as to what they were voting on, or 2) the house is up to something fishy. I'm afraid that at the rate we are going, we are going to end up with nothing.
  10. Tennessee General Assembly Main Page is the portal to the bills. You can get all the details of the vote there.
  11. I also use Regions. I started with them when they were First American. Stuck with them through Amsouth and now Regions. I've been happy with them.
  12. I think there is a big difference between a home owner's association trying to limit guns and a landlord. The HOA is trying to impose restrictions on my property. The landlord is restricting behavior on his property.
  13. I got it at Guns and Leather around Feb of 2008. It's a P239 in .40S&W. I didn't think they were that hard to find but I haven't been looking recently. Its my EDC.
  14. The $40 .380 was gone this afternoon. Somebody must have bought it.
  15. In addition to presenting a compelling reason for getting a HCP, I would research and be prepared to address the "having a gun in the house makes you xx% more likely to be shot" and "x people die per year due to handguns" type arguements. You need to address the touchy-feely bias against guns with facts. Use hard, verifiable facts to support your case. Do not use emotional arguements or opinions in your presentation.
  16. According to the info on www.capitol.tn.gov, SB1127 is on the Senate calendar for April 16. They didn't have the detailed agenda for Thursday posted earlier today but the session starts at 9:00am.
  17. According to capitol.tn.gov, the bill has been sent to the Senate calendar committee. The bill was in the senate judicary committee. They wouldn't send the bill back to the house based on a committee vote. If the bill is passed by the senate, they will send it back to the house ONLY if the version passed by the house is different. Otherwise it goes to the governor.
  18. I'm from a small town and my Dad was known by Jimmy to some people. He pretty much took all the decent variations. My friends in gradeschool came up with Bubba and its stuck... Maybe that says something about me
  19. We should have been waving to each other every day. I live in Bellevue and used to work in Cool Springs. My wife still works in Franklin. My old company decided to shut down the facility just before Christmas. I'm now traveling up to West End for work. Maybe we need a TGO-wave -- the Jeep drivers on here will understand.
  20. No offense taken. I've been Bubba for so long that I don't even think about it. When people decide to make fun of me for being a Bubba, I just let them find out a few other things about me. When people find out what I do for a living and my background, the Bubba jokes usually end! I do see your point. I like to do my best to go against the stereotype and watch peoples response.
  21. I noticed your location is London, Ky. There are more than a few Bubba's up there... I'm originally from Monticello, Ky. The real name is James. Same as my dad's. Whatever you do, don't ever give your kids your same first name and middle initial! That's kinda no man's land: not really a junior but can't use their first name either.
