jpx2rk I believe I found it on The High Road forum and on another. You can get info from the BATFE also. You have to remember state and local guidelines may be different.

Pop pop, you are correct I would hate to shoot anyone also. However if you are a CC holder, you need to have already made up your mind would you shoot if you were forced to defend yourself or family. If you haven't made up your mind prior to an incident, most likely you will freeze and be thinking of what to do instead of acting. I try and stay away from crowded venues or anywhere I may be more of a target. I like being in the country, lots of trees and not many peoples!!

I did a little researching after my post yesterday and not looking at local and state, but the feds pretty much limit powder to 20 pounds in a residence, 20-50 needs to be in a magazine. Funny you can transport up to 25K of primers in your vehicle, but only store 10K of primers in your residence.

Once again I will quote the Colonel. "If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge or jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim. " Lt.Col Jeff Cooper I think some of the most dangerous people these days are teens. They haven't been taught to respect anyone. Their parents if they have 2 at home don't teach them much of anything, let them do as they want. You know the old saying that S&W is the equalizer, well it is, if a 13 or 14 year old has a firearm he/she is just as dangerous if not more so because they have NO regard for human life. You look at all the gangs these days, they get these young kids to do the crimes in the hopes if they are caught they won't be treated as adults. My opinion if you can do the crime, you can do the time. But our penal system is a failed project also. No A/C, no T.V., you work or you don't eat. I have seen the chain gangs in the south, in Atmore, Alabama they have a prison and the inmates work in the fields of vegetables, there are about 2 or 3 horse mounted guards with scatterguns and they rarely have to hunt for one. The fact that they have 3 hots and a cot, T.V. Gym with workout machines. If I were over the penal system, first no visitors, high voltage fences surrounding the entire compound, get them up at 5 each morning and work them until dark, they would be so tired they wouldn't consider trying to escape. Keep your head on a swivel folks, just because the person you meet on the street is a teen, keep your eyes on them too. This isn't the same somewhat safe world we grew up in.

Just throwing this out there, but don't powder sellers ship up to 48 lbs in 1 box? I would think a movable cardboard container would be much more dangerous than a larger quantity that is sitting in the floor or shelf of a persons abode!! The wooden structure is called a magazine btw, not to be confused with a CLIP!

Greg speaking of the 4320, I bought it during Hussein's reign and bought it because I couldn't find any 4895. I have only loaded some 30-30's with it.

Speaking of Faulkner, I have a neighbor who is related to the Faulkner's. Mississippi gets a bad rap, but that is good, it keeps people from flocking there like they do to Tennessee. I have heard that people actually will drive around Mississippi because of the things they have heard. Like blacks are treated poorly, well if that is a fact why does Mississippi have the highest percentage of blacks in the nation at 35%. You missed the good ole days of Ole Miss when they were the Rebels, I wouldn't go see one of their games if they paid me!!! They have become a liberal institution.

In 6 hours we have 5" on the ground per Nikki Dee's measuring policy and it is halfway to a whiteout. We could have 8+ before this is done, hope the 49 degree temps Saturday melts this stuff!!

You are so right Greg. The snowfall started at 9:30 and in 1 hour we got about an inch. This time the roads were cold enough and it is sticking to our country road. TDOT does a great job on the highways, our only problem is the 3.5 miles of hilly, curvy, snowy and possible icy country roads!! Hopefully the warmer temps on Saturday will get our country road in good enough shape to attend church!! Ya'll stay warm, and be careful we don't need any falls and busted heads or hips!!

Okay Bob how do you spell it?? Be niceI lived there for 45 years!!

Greg I have some IMR-4320 and IMR-4895 if ya need any. Jamie I saw some 2400 at Bend of the river North of Cookeville.

I really don't believe those stats, you mean Kentuckians bought 3.8 million firearms and Tennessee didn't even break a million. I looked at most and noticed some states they already had their guns purchased like Alaska, Louisiana and Mississippi to name a few!!!

Hey Greg, maybe you need to consult for VDOT and explain to watch the weather forecast. I am sure Gov. Northam would appreciate the input. I don't know if ya'll have watched this, but it is a cluster. Another of the myriad reasons I don't prefer to travel interstates unless there isn't much of a choice. On a 2 lane highway you can turn around and detour.

pop pop, we are in northern tn., but we moved here October 2014 and we had 14" stacked up off back porch. We assumed that was old man winter welcoming us. Haven't had that much since and that is fine with us. Snow is great when you are a teenager and younger. JMHO!!!

You are so right. That is why you seldom see a woman carpenter. Nuff said!!

I figured some smart aleck would chime in on that. I can't even compete with her on looks!! But I am like WillyK, I think if it snowed 5" on my truck hood, that is 5" regardless if only 3 on the ground.

I was thinking the same thing, but she is supposed to know better than me. At least she gets paid for weather forecasting. That is like the temperature that they report is 5 feet off the ground that is why it can frost higher than 32 degrees as the ground temp is usually a few degrees cooler.

Well Nikki Dee corrected me on how they measure the snowfall. It is at ground level. I measured it off of truck hood. She said decks and vehicles cool off quicker than the ground. So it was about 3 inches, which is 3 inches too much. It is pretty, now it can leave.

In the big metropolis of Alpine we got just a tad under 5 inches from 9pm until around 3am. It can melt now, I have seen all I want for the year!!

I have said for years that the punishment must fit the crime in order to make thugs think twice, is cutting this catalytic converter worth 5 years in the pen or loss of a hand. In countries where they cut off hands, you rarely see a fellow with 2 of them missing. The first one lopped off does the trick.

"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge or jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim. " Lt.Col Jeff Cooper

Hey Greg, Pickett state park also boasts the first International Dark sky viewing area east of the Mississippi. It has views that are very similar to the areas out west. They have a nice parking area with electricity to charge batteries and about 2 acres they keep mowed for visitors. https://tnstateparks.com/parks/info/pickett

In the Bible 7 is a perfect number.

These are memories I remember. I had a few sets of the roll cap guns. I also had a Mattel rolling block rifle and a belt buckle with a derringer that would pop out and shoot if you had the lever pushed the right way, both used the sticky greenie caps. As for the cigarette loads, my dad was ok with occasional cigarette, but he liked to smoke a Dutch Masters cigar and I blew one about half into with 2 or 3 loads, he wasn't real happy about that. Sadly our kids and grandkids don't know the fun that they missed.
