I am 22. I believe on paper I have a clean driving record, although there has been a few bumps and bruises along the way. I have shopped around...a lot. Nationwide is by far the cheapest I have found. It is also for a 2012 Ford Fusion. I am getting quite a few "policy discounts".      This seems interesting to me though...what is my alternative? I suppose I have an agent...it's the local Nationwide agent. Can I go straight through Nationwide? And I was thinking quite a bit about the medical payments. I did conclude that the only reason I suppose I"d need it is if I am driving around uninsured health people. Right? Or to cover health insurance deductibles, as stated above.   Thanks so far for the input!

Thanks to everyone who talked to me about health insurance a few weeks ago! I decided to keep my wife on my policy at work instead of putting her on her "own" policy, and don't regret it at all. I am now trying to cut "pork" from my auto insurance while keeping what is very important. This is what I've came up with so far. I haven't "submitted" it yet, but here it is:       Currently I have a 6 month premium of 471.50. After I make the proposed changes to what is shown above, I will save roughly $120 every six months. I would like everyone's logic as to what you'd do, and why? For anyone curious, this is Nationwide.

  Yes...let us pretend for a moment that there was no "negligence" here at all. Lets pretend that this guy had the baby in a crib in the living room, went to get a glass of water, and then came back into the darkened living room. Since the baby had got out of the crib and crawled across the floor, he didn't see her. Glass of water in one hand and chips in the other, he cannot catch himself as he trips onto the baby. Unarguably 100% tragic, arguably 100% accident.   How do you go from that to "I don't really know what's wrong with her but she hasn't moved in a while. Here she is. Gotta go!". Any caring person would be calling the emergency services immediately.

Arguably this could be money better spent, but I'd love a hands on demo!   http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-forend-parts/rifle-stocks/ar15-gen-2-folding-stock-adapter-sku100011515-55490-114515.aspx?sku=100011515&sp_rid=MzM4MzA1NTMxMDES1&sp_mid=4777407&spMailingID=4777407&spUserID=MzM4MzA1NTMxMDES1&spJobID=144757427&spReportId=MTQ0NzU3NDI3S0   Just in case you guys haven't seen it yet. It's new to me!

How about someone creates a petition to end these useless petitions? It could all be in the name of cutting the budget.

  That depends...does the guy trying to take out a TIE fighter have force powers or not? 

Has anyone else received any responses?  

These "Zero Tolerance" policies create poisonous environments such as this, or rather, "Zero Tolerance" policies are symptoms of poisonous environments such as this. Here you have a group of high school students that know they did the right thing, but are getting punished for it. So perhaps next time when a student points a gun at one of the administrators, perhaps what will happen is no student will want to confront the shooter because they may get suspended over it.

  Well your reading comprehension is better than you think! The level of stupidity/elitism that school systems perpetuate never seizes to amaze me.

I wrote an email to all of the "administrators" at the school. Here are there email addresses:   TracyAP@leeschools.net TaraDM@leeschools.net adamjk@leeschools.net JohnathanPD@leeschools.net ShellyLT@Leeschools.net   Those are from their contact page, as seen here: ShellyLT@Leeschools.net   I encourage everyone to write a brief email. If the facts are reported accurately, these administrators need to be called out on hiding behind "Zero Tolerance" and lacking even the smallest measurable amount of common sense.

Looks like this bill is #1 on tonight's schedule for the committee.   http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/Calendar/CalendarOrders.aspx?CalendarID=191

In Comp I I wrote my research paper on assault rifles and whether the public should be allowed to own them. My professor graded it and I received a decent grade. However, she left a comment very similar to this on it, "You make some very good points here. However, the question is whether or not the founding fathers foresaw guns advancing to the level that they have now,". I left it at that and didn't contest anything. I figured she was more than set in her ways, and I mine. I wish I could find that research paper...

  Carry gun #2? That's a walk in the park compared to carry gun #1!

  And not just any pickles, but tiny pickles...

VOW does primarily AR and AK builds. Give them a call and see!   http://www.vowguns.com  

  Looks like it got pushed to next Tuesday?

Volunteer Ordnance does good work. They'll charge you $30 for sight installation. However, they have probably a 1 or 2 week (at minimum) wait list, and your gun "has" to be sitting on the shelf for them during that time.   JFM is able to get it back to you same day, and only charges $20.  John Miller 423-790-7077 As far as I can tell he does equally good work, and will be much more likely to do a slight adjustment for you if you feel it is needed.

Right now they are working on SB 0222. Two more things to go over after this, and then the knife bill. I doubt I"ll stick around for the possible hours needed until they get to it, but anticipating seeing what the outcome is.

  That's the one for sure.

We talked about this in criminal justice in high school. The fleeing felon rule, in essence, says that LEO's can shoot a fleeing felon if they believe he is an immediate harm to someone else. In a conversation with a professor at UTC (who is also an assistant DA for Chattanooga), I asked him about the fleeing felon rule and whether something applied to non LEO civilians. He had never heard of the rule.    I have in my head a picture of a large male running away from you at night because you ran him off your property with your AR-15. He has a semi-automatic handgun in his hand, and is running towards your neighbors house up the road.   He has his back to you and is running away. But you feel that he is a danger to the single mother who has two kids. What do you do?  

Ever since I received my permit and started carrying, I've had a recurring theme for dreams. Ever week or so I will have a dream in which I have to use my firearm to defend myself or others. Except, whenever it is time to fire I squeeze the trigger and the gun will not fire. It seems I have trouble pulling the trigger hard enough, and it will not fire. The best way for me to describe the dream is that the firearm has a long, heavy DAO trigger pull that I cannot seem to pull far enough. The circumstances change, but I always have trouble with the 100lb trigger. I just keep trying and trying to squeeze off a shot, and it doesn't work. Last night it was in the Walgreens parking lot when I confronted a man who had kidnapped some kids and had them locked in his truck.   Anyone else have some sort of recurring gun related dream?

Hopefully we will see something somewhat soon as to whether this bill stands a chance of passing.
