Stupid is as Stupid does!!!!

When I get a kidney infection my doctor tells me to drink Cranberry juice instead of water so I always have 3 or 4 bottles of the juice in the house with 1 in the fridge. I don't know that it will help but it can't hurt if you have to drink something.....JMHO

I'm no longer a member and not going to join just the go to a show....JMHO

I have Googled about 6 different news networks and not 1 of them has mentioned the type of weapon used.

There are several other news networks also covering the story ABC and CNN had reports also.

I believe that the main issue is there are far to many broken homes with just 1 parent trying to do both jobs or children born out of wedlock. The parent is to busy trying to work and put food on the table and a roof over their heads so discipline is almost non existent. Also to many FEAD BEAT DADS not doing their part also IMO!!

There has been another shooting in Dadeville Alabama last night!!!

Most retail outlets have stopped trying to prevent shoplifting/stealing and just have a policy for writing off X amount of money for taxes and make up part of or most of their loss for the year. I have seen on the news where Walmart has camera's at their doors and they film people taking 2 or 3 flat screen TV's out without paying for them and they don't do anything to stop them.

My daughter is a nurse at a Hospital in Nashville and works all kind of shifts. She is also a very good shot with a pistol and practices when they can afford a few bucks for ammo. She has considered getting her carry permit but she would not be able to carry at work as it is a gun free zone in the hospital. She would have to leave the gun in the car so she won't do that. The hospital has their own security force and if a nurse or doctor wants to go to the vehicle in the parking garage the front desk has Security come and escort them to the vehicle and waits till they are inside with doors locked. I have offered to buy he a small taser but she declined.

This is a long read but worth it if you need a good laugh!!!! https://www.reshareworthy.com/man-tests-taser-gift/

The white girl needs to invest a few bucks on a 20,000 volt taser and take that walk again and get a little payback!!!!

Glad I am not in need of any new firearms or ammo for the ones I have.

I just went and read the questions on the application you have to fill out to purchase a firearm. The questions asked about a persons mental state are for the most part useless. Any 3rd grader could answer those and pass the back ground check. In the last 2 shootings the police said the weapons used were bought legally. That is a lie. Both shooters were proven to have mental issues after the fact and both had been under a doctors care and prescribed medications. The school shooters parents stated they they knew their daughter was suffering from emotional and depression and were concerned that she had purchased a gun. That should have raised a red flag with them to get her help and they didn't. The shooter at the bank had a personality change that was showing up for about 10 days prior that folks that knew him was obvious and he suffered several concussions while playing sports in high school and even though he was showing signs of problems no one stepped up to offer him help. He reached out to a friend in a text and a voice mail but they were not received until it was to late. He had also been seen by a doctor and on medication. Just being prescribed medications doesn't mean the person is going to take them. My point to this long post is RED FLAG laws will not address this issue. Maybe if they are going to address the mental issue about mentally ill people lying on the application they need to create a place where the doctors can put information on people they treat that can be recorded. It could be like a mental hospital file that could be a part of the back ground check.....JMHO

I thought I would mention that if you want Cracklin's you can find them in about any grocery store. Kroger's, Food Lion, Publix, Amazon and Sam's to name a few. There are several different brands I have tried but I always try to find the Clifty Farms brand when at all possible. If you can't find them in the store ask someone that works in the meat department and he will take you to them.

You can find quite a bit about the KY Bank shooter if you google it. I learned that he purchased the gun just 5 days before he went to the bank. He also did tell one close friend that he was suicidal but the friend did not get the voice mail until it was to late. I take that with a grain of salt. Just like I take the fact that the parents of the school shooter didn't know she had those guns and new she was unstable emotionally. I believe if I had a child that had emotional issues under a doctors care and was living at home at age 28 I would know a lot more about her activities....JMHO

As long as they are in the store they are not shop lifting. They have to leave the store without paying for it to be shoplifting. Once the person has left the store they have also left his juristic and to follow them was totally wrong. It was a bad shoot and Walgreens will be sued and the guy will probably go to jail.....JMHO

I was thinking about that scene where Josie Wales was walking right at the guy he was having the shoot out with and doing a reload as he walked and shot the guy after reloading. I bet that scene had more than a couple takes to get it right and Clint probably did a lot of practicing to get it right!

Something that I have not read in this thread is that no one has mentioned Crackling Bread. That was a staple around our house in the winter after hog killings to make smoke house meat. My job when I was still at home was to render the lard and separate the cracklings while the fats where still hot. My Dad and Grandfather were responsible for the smoke house duties of getting the meat packed in the salt and when it came time I would help them hang the meat and start the smoking process. The women were responsible for the processing of anything that was going to be frozen or canned. I guess for the most part that has become a lost art and not very many farms still do it. I loved Crackling bread anytime. Made a good snack about anytime!!

I might be able to add the dry rub to it before I grill it and see if I get a BBQ flavor.

Foot note: You can get the butcher to slice it for you also.

I like fried bologna and have since I was a kid. Never tried it with garlic. I need to add that to my shopping list. I don't know if anyone has ever grilled bologna but it is really good. Thing is you need to get at least 1/2 a stick or more of butchers bologna and slice it into slices about as thick as a hamburger so you can put it on a burger bun and build it like you would a hamburger. Mustard, ketchup, tomato, lettuce or what ever. I like to put a slice of cheese on mine and build from there. You grill the bologna till it's brown on both sides. I made it for my kids when they were growing up and they liked it better the burgers.

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!!

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!!
