in the immortal words of James Hetfield - Sad, but true!!!!!

I still haven't received one. Oh well. My income tax return states that I have 3 dependents. That should be enough for them. If they come to the door they will get the same answer. I live here with 3 dependents.

The military is a hard thing to judge. It is possible that the majority of soldiers would not follow that unlawful order, but it only takes one person to open fire and then the fit hits the shan and everyone starts and before it is over innocent people are dead.

I have been to the St. Louis Zoo. They have Puffins and Emperor Penguins. Wife loves those. They have a great petting zoo for the kids. They are free. (except for parking, the children's zoo and many other aspects which end up costing quite a bit.) I have been to the Washington D.C. zoo though it has been many years ago. I am a member of the Memphis Zoo. Of those three I have to say I like the Memphis Zoo the best as it has many great exhibits and if you go early on the weekend mornings you do not have to deal with the crowds that you do elsewhere.

I thought if I bought something at a store the sales tax was already paid to the state for that item. I paid it to the store they paid it to the state so if I sell that item then I have to pay the state again? I think I may just have to leave something I want to get rid of laying around and if one of you wants it you leave something laying around in return.

Not all of Memphis I hope? East isn't so bad it is just down town and certain areas where people think they are entitled to everyone else stuff. Oh well. Maybe one day I will be able to legally sit in Outback Steakhouse eating a steak and wearing a pistol.

Not looking for Spin. Just suspecting that the reason the troops would be "deployed" would be due to all of the fighting over who is going to stay in office and who is going to go. There are lots of suppositions as to what will happen in November. My main concern is what the government is willing to do in order to stay in power. Likely we will not "see it coming" as it were. I too wish they would have deployed sooner. Still not sure how the plane made it to the Pentagon without being picked up on a radar. NYC is a little more understandable. But there are questions that need answers.

Sorry, Link. I don't vote for a party. I vote for an individual. I don't care where they hang their hat as long as their morals and ideas are in line with what I agree with. You are right - parties tell you what you want to hear as do people. I look at their actions as those speak louder than words. I too am concerned about paying the bills but I wish more people would get freaked out by the government being the government. Maybe then they would realize who is supposed to be in charge of whom. I don't know if there will be a country as we know it in 3 years. I thank you for your service but would you be willing to take up arms against your fellow Americans based on the "possibility" of something nasty happening near a voting booth?

Gents - if you haven't already secured an area to be in when the stuff hits the fan you should. It isn't a matter of if it's a matter of when.

Best answer - Make sure to fill the wife's car up every couple of days. Or take out the fool computer. My wife had the same nasty habit until she burned up a fuel pump. Now - 1/4 tank and it is filled again.

That would make the most sense. Let the wife and kids take the car to get gas while you wait with the client is what I was thinking about this scenario.

looking forward to it. Can create folders to put the you tube and other apps that I don't want in them. Wish Apple would let me get rid of their "default" apps.

I think I will try to make it. My wife has been to plenty of "Ladies lunches" without me doing some range time so I think I am due.

Wow - you can drop and break my D60 if you will replace it with the D5000 and a new lens.

If it isn't illegal to do what they were doing then what is the big deal? The reason that we as a society do this is because we consider it to be taboo. If you lived in a village in Africa or in a rain forest somewhere it wouldn't be a big deal and you could walk around with your ta-ta's hanging out all day long. No one would care. Our society has made the female breast an object for the bedroom and not the front yard. I don't agree with women breastfeeding in public but that is more of my own issue. If you are doing something to raise awareness - you shouldn't complain when someone becomes aware and starts taking pictures.

I refuse to have a battle of wits with unarmed people.

The only bad gun to carry would be the one left on the night stand. If I couldn't conceal any of mine I would go find one I could. If it happened to be a .22 then so be it. Ask James Brady what being shot with a .22 feels like.

Best of luck to you. You will do fine.

There are always elderly people that need things done around the house that cannot and do not have family willing to do it for them. Check the churches and put up fliers. Don't limit yourself either. Fast Food joints are usually hiring and while it is minimum wage - it is better than nothing.

If the dog attacks you, you can do whatever is necessary to prevent loss of life or serious bodily harm. If this is a pit mix then likely you would not get charged with discharging a firearm in city limits but IANAL so I would first contact them. The first thing I would do would be to report to animal control the incident. You should also keep a cell phone on you while you run or bike. If the dog/s happen to do this again you should call immediately. Don't wait until you are home. If there is a history of you contacting the authorities relating to the matter then you should be good to go.

I called Shelby County back when they first closed it and asked about renting it. The excuse given as to the closure was due to some people having bullets go past their ears on the trails behind the berms. I called BS on this but it boils down to hippies getting what they wanted which was no range in the city. As it turns out the schools still use the skeet side of it on occasion. I would be up for some range time but think that paying $320 for 10 people is a bit steep considering we could each just show up and only pay $120. But if they are talking for several hours of dedicated range time that is a different story. Oh well. Keep me posted.

I just recently started. I got a Nikon D60 with an 18-55 and 55-200 lens from Best Buy at a reasonable price. I have yet to purchase my first "good" lens as the kit lenses are working for my purposes (for now) but soon - all too soon I plan on getting a 50mm prime lens that will be a lot faster f1.8 I think. I will echo the sentiments - get good lenses that will grow with you as you grow. A tripod is a must if you are shooting in low light conditions such as fireworks or night shots. Have fun.

Tat girl would be like a moped. Fun to ride but you wouldn't want your friends to catch you on it. Sandra would be the one you could take out to parties and home to meet mom.

So you cannot carry in Pizza Hut if they post properly but if they don't go right ahead is how I see it.

You guys are making me regret trading away my Springfield a couple years ago. Might look for a new one to trade soon.
