I don't like turtle, don't like fish or sea food, either.
I know several people that don't like seafood or fresh water fish and I say to each his own. It took me quite a while to get up the nerve to try Oysters on the half shell and I guess I was about 50 before I finally tried them and saw what I had been missing for years....lol.

I grew up hunting most of my life and hunted with both of my sons up into their teens and when I lost my oldest to a car crash hunting just didn't seem as imp important any more. I did hunt a few times with my younger son for deer. When my health began to be a problem my son continued to hunt with friends and then he married and started a family of his own and as his sons got old enough he started them hunting and they still hunt today.
The only issue you may have now is finding land to hunt. Most of the prime hunting land is privately owned and don't allow hunting or they have leased their land to Hunting Clubs.
All is not lost though for you and your son. There are several state run game reserves that you can hunt. You can get a permit at one near your home and they normally has 1000's of acres you can hunt. Just do a little research on line on the Tennessee Wildlife website and you can learn quit a bit. Hope this helps!!

I keep getting emails from the NAGR talking about 2A issues and asking for donations to become a elite member. Does anyone here belong or know anything about them? Any help will be appreciated.

I would say that it also matters what they are told about the police by their peers, their community. But, yes.
This is vicious cycle, unfortunately. All of it. In the 26 pages of this thread so far, I have read a staggering number of responses that amount to addressing the symptoms of a problem, but not many things that get to the actual root of the problem.
Our culture is broken because we've allowed it to become broken. This occurred over literal generations of lifetimes, not all at once. We're perhaps seeing the decline of our culture accelerating now because the rate of decay has reached critical mass and changes are happening faster now than ever before, but it certainly did not all happen overnight.
I must agree with David on most of what he has said. Our society has fallen off a cliff and holding on to a small branch from going all the way to the bottom. In all reality I believe until something is done to correct the mental issues all the gun laws in the world won't fix the problem. If a mental person wants to kill people they will find a weapon to use. Everything from a knife to a car or truck. The biggest mass murderers used airplanes on 9/11.

I definitely appreciate the idea of being incognito too. That's why I personally NEVER choose to open carry. I suspect more criminals will walk away from a crime when they see a cop if it's an either/or decision only.
I never open carry either because I think a gunman will make you their first target. As far as a shooter in a school They went there to kill people and 1 SRO officer won't be a deterrent if he shoots the SRO first IMO.

Exactly, if the SRO tries to clown or joke around with kids and they refuse to participate because they are told “all cops are bad” at home, whose fault is that?
I have had friends that had school age kids and they had an SRO at their school and they liked him and said he was pretty cool but then they were not told that all cops are bad at home either.

I prefer the visual deterrent of a uniformed officer, personally.
I would agree except he would be the first person shot by a shooter and he would not know that the plain clothes that were on the scene and shooting at the shooter would be more effective.

I don't guess anyone liked the plain clothes cops in schools idea huh?

Yea, not something to wrinkle my nose at, but wasn't overly fond of the taste, and I like fish. I don't know how they prepped it, but it wasn't a soup, just recall chunks of meat.
Nuggets sounds like what you may have had. My Mother battered the nuggets with a little Cajun spice added and fried them just like chicken.

I have noticed several people here talking about the SRO officers being in full uniform. Making them more like prison guards in locked down schools. Why does and SRO need to be in uniform. That would make him/her the first target.
Why not put them in plain clothes and give them titles. How about a Dean of Boys and if a boy needs to talk to someone because he is in trouble let him talk to the dean. Have a Dean for girls also a female police officer. We had them in school back when I was in school but they were not police officers. How about a custodian or two of them instead of Deans but trained officers. There are many ways to place SRO's in schools without putting them in uniform like prison guards. They could mingle with the kids and fit in. The Custodian was killed in the school shooting and it was said he was loved by the students......just an idea!!!

Have a guy here at work that would get a bunch of them. One day they cooked some here for the crew, it definitely didn't taste like chicken, more akin to fish with a meat texture to it, it wasn't bad, but nothing I would seek out either.
Yep!! They don't taste lie Chicken but like you said more of a fishy taste. How did the guy cook the meat. My mother would make turtle nuggets as main coarse and then put 3 or 4 sides with it to make a meal. I agree, it's not something I would go out of my way to eat but if it is offered I would probably eat it.

How do you punish a mass shooter who gets killed by police or dies by suicide?
You beat me to it Erik88....lol

The only way to stop mass violence against innocent people is to make the punishment so terrible that it horrifies the wicked and the innocent. I must be inescapable by the death of the person or people who would inflict it on others. It's use would have to be unthinkable to the left or the right.
That might work on one out of 100 but if you look at the end results if the police don't kill them they take their own lives so their end goal is death anyway.

The ATF is already being told about multiple weapons purchases:
Reporting Multiple Firearms Sales | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (atf.gov)
There are so many gun laws already out there that there is no need for new ones. If they wanted to stop some of this, they just need to enforce the laws already in place. I don't like those either, but they are there and available for law enforcement to act upon.
Great point Omega and I know there are tons of laws out there that they could be using and we don't need any new ones. I think it was mentioned that she purchased her guns from 4 or 5 different gun stores so she would not be drawing any attention to herself. I would imagine that is in her ramblings she wrote that has not been released to the public.

I don’t think just telling the police will prevent her from legally buying a firearm with out a red flag law.
I do think that if it was my house, and I had any concerns, I would be looking around her room, even if she is an28yo adult. My house, my rules
I agree, they should have been more vigilant about why she had a gun in the first place knowing she had mental issues and took more interest in what she was doing.

I agree but maybe if her parents would have been concerned enough with her having the one they knew about and reported it the police might have found more and been able to prevent her from buying more. Maybe, just maybe the school shooting could have been prevented. She also had to be lying on her applications because she had to be saying no to at least one of the questions that would have got her denied.

Without some type of red flag law, there was nothing to prevent her, an adult of legal age, from buying a firearm (or seven).
I know we don’t want the ATF to start acting upon multiple gun purchases as a flag in and unto itself. If they did, many of us would be flagged.

That may be true but how many folks here that own guns are under a doctors care for emotional mental issues and her parents knew she had one which should have been 1 to many with them knowing she had a problem. They also said they thought she sold it but did not say she did sell it.
-
Ok, I have a question that is related about the shooter and not politics. How many folks here think that the parents of the shooter know a lot more than they are letting on to what they really knew. They knew she was emotionally disturbed and admitted to that and they said he did own a gun but said she sold it. How could they not know about all the other ones she had while living in the same house with them? Also if she had the one she sold how did she purchase it in the first place with her mental issues?

Looks like a common snapper. The alligator has points on it's shell. Looks like armor plating
Yep, that's a common snapper and would have been a good eating one. Back before I moved here I use to travel a road often that had a stone quarry pond on one side of it and ever so often I would see a snapper crossing the road and I would stop and move it off the road. depending on which way it was headed would be the direction I would take it. If it was going away from the quarry that meant it was going up to lay it's eggs and if it was going towards the quarry it had laid it's eggs and was going back to the water. I gave the eggs about 2-3 weeks to hatch and the babies would be crossing the road heading to the quarry. I was able to catch 5 of them and several had been hit by cars but I took the ones I caught home and put them in my aquarium to watch them for a while. I fed them night crawlers and some dead minnows I got from a local bait store. I kept them about a year and then took them to the quarry to release them but thought it would be better to put them in a safer place so when I went bass fishing I released them in Old Hickory lake.

Same thing happened to me. "Take a bite" they said. "You'll love it" they said. I took a bite and ate Cream of Wheat for a month!
I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid. Ain't bitin' on that one agin'!
I think I ate 200 pop cycles and Fudge cycles and was finally able to get warm tomato soup down but I learned my lesson and never tried it again.....LOL

Back in the day when I was young and dumb I let a few friends talk me into trying some hot chicken wings. That was my only experience with hot chicken. I had white blisters in my mouth for about a week. Never again and that was about 40 years ago......LOL.

Well this is about politics which I know little about but I did learn one thing about this. I was talking to a friend and he told me that his son and a bunch of his buddies joined the march on the capitol the last couple days. They didn't do it in support of Jones or any other Democrat because they are all Republicans. They just did it to be part of something. My friend told them that just by marching it gave support to Jones by enlarging the march. He told them it was a stupid move.

Thanks Omega. I didn't solicit anything from them and their emails just began showing up and began talking about how they are fighting for our 2nd Amendment rights in DC and need me to help by sending money. I think they are a scam is why I wanted to get some opinions from folks I trust and that is here of curse!!
