From the target, it looks like this guy had pretty good control to me. But I agree, FA isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's fun, but not very practical for real-world situations.

Sorry to hear she was treated that way. Perhaps the best answer to their barb would be along the lines of, "I'm sorry, but I don't make the policy. I have a carry permit myself."

You never find a candidate that you like completely. We'll learn more about her over time. So far, from what I know about her, I like that she is pro-gun and anti-corruption but dislike that she is pro-life and pro- teaching Creationism. If she turns out to be too far right, she will turn off a lot of potential crossover voters. For now though, it looks like she has pretty much solidified the party base and convinced a number of folks to support the team who might have stayed home or voted for a third party.

Yep, different strokes.

I made a sandwich with some of the leftover pot roast. Delicious! Took some of my Roma tomatoes, split them and just drizzled on some olive oil and sea salt. Also delicious. Truly vine ripe. Today will be something very simple - I think. Probably another sandwich and some linguine with pesto. Now off to a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast.

Some good replies here. Lots of these folks I've never heard of. Have to go dig up some recordings. I've just found much of the Goodman style gospel music to be monotonous and sometimes depressing. Pretty much Cokesbury Hymnal stuff with more theatrics. Much of the "new" gospel is the same, just with a heavier beat and often not well written. I'm looking for well-written music that doesn't just come out and tell you that inless you are "saved by Jesus" that you are going straight to Hell without passing "Go" and collecting $200.

I suspect that dealers would rather not do them. Not much profit there for the work. But I'm not sure just refusing to do a transfer is good business either. Obviously high transfer fees anger customers. It probably is better to just say no to transfers than make a customer feel the dealer is trying to rip him off. It's a no-win situation for the dealers. If I was a gun dealer, I'd hold my nose and charge 20 bucks for it, smiling all the time.

I really don't know anyone who has tried small of the back carry that used it very long, but I'm sure there must be lots of folks who use it. One problem we have seen around here is that about all of the butt shootings happen when re-holstering the pistol with the holster in SOB position. Just another thing to think about.

I don't have a problem with people living in tornado alley, or on a river flood plain, or earthquake zone, or fire area or wherever. But I have a problem with people choosing to live there and then expecting other people to pay to help them out when the disaster happens.

Anyone who can gets up at 3 am for any kind of hunt is my kind of VP. (even if that's like 9 am or something) in the real world. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Thanks, He does indeed sound a lot like James Taylor. I've been a Taylor guy since the 60's. I guess I'm looking for someone who may be religious, but that isn't the entire focus of their lives. It's hard to refine. I'm looking for folks who are into religious writing and maybe performing but who are really good writers.

I'll keep the ones who are in trouble in my thought, if not my prayers. (God helps those who help themselves) I hope they come out OK and all of their neighbors too.

The laws were passed. We'll see if they are enforced. (Yeah....right) I want to be a LA lawyer....

OK...This is a weird subject for me. I am definitely not a Bible thumper. I'm barely a Methodist I'm looking for music of a religious nature that is not entirely and overtly religious. This is the song that doesn't start by telling you that you are a sinner bound to burn in hell. It describes a situation that you might fit into. I'm definitely not looking for music that talks about being washed in the blood of the lamb. I'm looking for gospel music that sneaks up on you. Examples are: Ghost Riders in the Sky Long Black Train and my absolute favorite: The Brothers Four : The Waves Roll In In short I'm looking for religious songs that are not overtly religious. I am looking for religious musics that you don't immediately recognize as religious.

I'd suggest less "cleverness" and more facts?

Yeah, that is odd. Actually, I've agreed with McCain on a bunch of stuff over the years that most of you don't like. I've disagreed with him over issues, but I've agreed a bunch more. I think Palin is FOS over abortion, but I really like her veto about gay stuff based on Constitutional grounds. She does have at least some intelligence, as opposed to most fundamentalist folks. I'd really like to see an actual constitutionalist in the Executive Branch. She looks like the best possibility at this point.

Shall we quit whining about the past and move into the future?

Well, it more than 24 hours and no one has accused her of being a Ho in Nome, so I guess she must be OK.

How in hell did crap like Metallica get into this? Weren't they also a big force in anti-PTP crap. (Rhetorical question not requiring a reply) F them. Or as I might say, let's get back on topic.

FOH (Force on hand) may be be one situation. Utilization of that force might be another situation. Point 1 - We tend to wimp out of the proper treatment of looters. Bad PR. Point 2 - I didn't know we had so many people in the know here on TGO..........

That's probably the truth. And I'm one of the most tolerant - unless you are an idiot.

I opposed fixing it back up three years ago. Totally senseless to rebuild in it's location with the delta receding every year.

Around here, great playing is just normal. You can wander down to the old log house (Anderson Townhouse) in Blountville every Friday night and hear super old time and bluegrass musicians for free, the way it should be heard - all acoustic.

If you are carrying it on your person without a license, it doesn't matter if it's loaded.

OK, then I will drive as far west as east Knoxville.
