It was just a “few years ago” you could walk into any store and load up on .22 long, .38 S&W, .45 Auto Rim, and .30-40, among many others!

He’s scheduled to be at ETSU in Johnson City.

There ain’t but one way to put them things on. Does it really require a demonstration?

I’m surprised this thread has gone on for so long. It’s getting a little “out there”.

What’s the point in having a tool if you don’t use it? Rain: 4WD Gravel: 4WD Mud: 4WD Snow and/or Ice: 4WD I have no intention of getting stuck or going off the road just to prove myself to myself.

Los Angeles or Lower Alabama?

We need to break and dislodge, not season, the ice.

Would a 12 gauge slug or .45-70 be appropriate for breaking up some seriously thick ice on the front walkway?

What report would that be? Makes no difference really, let me guess what it says… LE response was unacceptable which everyone in the world knew within days, and guns bad.

Nah, you can just watch them sliding around on their new sheet of black ice tomorrow.

If that were true then we’d have a lot less internet yankees telling us how to run a proper winter.

No work tomorrow. I get to watch The Waltons again!

Sun’s going down and so are the temps. Now we’re going to freeze to death. There is going to be a seriously thick, icey crust on all this snow tomorrow. My final yardstick dip was around 1:30 this afternoon for 9”. At least they’re predicting sunshine tomorrow, but more “wintry mix” by Friday.

4WD and I don’t drive like that mode makes me somehow invincible as so many do. I also know what those two settings below D on the gear shifter are and make use of them when appropriate.

My ‘02 4Runner with nearly brand new tires is the snow master. Went out earlier today to the corner store when there was only 4” of snow on the ground. Just did it again with 8” or so of this mess because of wife.

The snow has stopped for now but Knoxville is still smack dab in the middle of light blue on the radar. More accumulation is predicted, flash freezing, black ice, all manners of chaos.

A good 7" inches now in West Knox. Still coming down hard. No end in sight. This may be my last transmission.....

Almost 6” on the ground now, nearly an inch in the past hour. Still coming down heavily.

Little over 5” here in my part of West Knoxville and it looks like it’s snowing harder than it has all day.

So when the heat goes out they can plug in the electric heaters.

Not a problem. Working a VCR would be like using a rotary phone for that bunch.

That name makes me giggle. I bet it was hell for him growing up. Sorry, but I’m still a juvenile, lol.

I wish people that sold cars would teach people how to drive but there is no requirement to do so. In an ideal world gun stores would recommend or offer training.

Big difference between first time shooters and first time gun owners. If I introduce someone to shooting then they are going to have a sit down to go over the basic safety rules and basic operation of the firearm(s) involved including some dry-firing. Then I will still be standing right behind them when they start popping off shots. For new gun owners I don’t get asked too much, but if I did it would probably be a single shot .22 considering how people are these days.

The Model 39 is one of the best pistols ever made.
