First off Prayers to the victums!!! I hope the wounded all survive. Now as far as the world going crazy! I think a good many have some real issues that they need to begin dealing with. It is either drug related or Domestic related most likely. Could be home invasion but if so it was probably over drugs or drug money. I will never understand why people have to think someone has to get shot over drugs or Domestic issues. Neither one ever turns out good when a gun is involved. Over the years there have been several domestic disputes in my family at one level or another and a gun was never used to solve any of them and they all worked out just fine.........JMHO

I also never chamber a round more than twice before it goes to range bag. I'm glad I bought enough ammo back years ago that I don't have to go looking for any more. Only having 2 different calibers to buy for I bought enough back before the ammo prices went way up. I do wish I would have bought more Hornaday Critical defense than I did but I think I have enough to get by and I do have other great self defense ammo's I can fall back on if I need to.

I quite leaving guns in my vehicle when It reached that point in time that you could not leave a long un hanging on a window rack in the back window of your pick up. When I get in my vehicle my weapon gets in with me and wheen I get out my weapon gets out with me. Tom many car break ins these days to leave anything of value in your vehicle. Hope you get your property back........JMHO

I also have some Jewish friends and grew up in Chicago with a lot more than I have down here. They are more comfortable being located in big cities is why that is where you will find most of them. Now as far as wealth the Jewish people are very smart about money and very good business people. My father had one particular friend while we lived up north and our family always bought our shoes from the mans small shoe store. My father was a smart man for only having a 3rd grade education but he knew a deal when he saw one. One day my mother ask my father why we always bought shoes at the mans store so my father took us shopping. We had already bought our shoes but we went to about 5 other stores not Jewish owned. All of them sold the same shoes we had bought from his friends store and when comparing prices the shoes sold in the other stores were 8 to $10.00 per pair higher in price. My mother asked my father how come his friend sold his shoes so much cheaper and he said because his friend sold his shoes on the Dime plan. His shoes were always a lot cheaper but he sold 10 times as many pairs as the other stores and by selling more shoes he made more money by selling in volumn. The Jewish man said where the shoe store down the block may sell 2 pairs of shoes a day and make $3.00 profit per pair he would sell the same pair for $2.00 less per pair but would sell 20+ pairs of shoes. That was called Dime sale. Not make as much off each pair but just sell 10 times as many pairs. That is why the Jewish people seem to always have wealth in their family.Schrewed business people.

Thanks and the link was very interesting for sure. It is interesting that Jesus was mentioned many times in the Quran. I think that Jesus was crucified because the rulers of the different countries back then feared him because of the miracles he was seen to perform and they feared he would turn the people against them. You are right about 1 thing for sure. The Jewish people have paid dearly for being Jewish but I admire them for their pride and willingness to fight for their beliefs even as many times as they have been beat down........JMHO

I think your going to hear about more and more Churches having security of some type in them.

One of these days one of these lunatics is going to walk into the wrong church and know right quick what it is like to get shot multiple times. My friend William attends a church here in Gallatin and he said there is at least 6 to 8 armed members with 4 of them being Vets that all spent 2 or more tours in the sandpit and they all have family members there. They have practiced an active shooter drill at the church and run 1 once every month. There is about 250 members in the church every Sunday. William says he feels much safer knowing there are armed trained people in the church. He is a Vet from the Navy during Nam.

I will look into that and have my son see about ordering them on line through his shop. He buys more parts on line and gets them delivered cheaper than he can buy them locally at parts house. Really the boat trailer issue is no longer my problem. My SIL has the Skeeter Bss boat now and he is responsible for the up keep but I will look into getting the sealed bearing kits as he has been hand packing them every Spring.............

That is actually a great idea but very expensive. I was gonna do that on my boat trailers so they would be almost maintainence free. That is until I went to get the parts and the part house informed me I would have to buy new hubs because sealed bearings won't fit standard hubs. One hub kit 97.95 and that would be times 4 as I had a tandem axle trailer at that time. $391.80 + tax. I can pack a lot of bearings by hand for that price..............

And if we are guessing what really may have happened maybe the guy behind the fence doing all the screaming to shoot the guy was actually the guy that did the cutting and was wanting the cops to kill the one person that could testify against him. Lovers quaral maybe.................

Thanks for that update. I didn't know that but interesting to learn it. I hope we keep standing with them all through out future history as we have in the past. I did have concerns in the years between 2008 and 2016 but we made it through ok.

I think the main problem is there have been so many books written on the subject that are similar yet different it is like looking for a needle in a field of haystacks. I hope you find your book again............

It is complicated yet also simple Greg. I am sure there are folks here that can explain it a lot better than I can. Just remember JESUS is a Jew and was born one. I think you know that story if you follow the bible. During his time on earth he preached the gospel of Christianity and had built of a great many followers. So many that the leaders in the countries he traveled to and spread the word of GOD began to fear him. The leaders were also able to turn many of his followers against him. You know the rest of that story and how it ended. Now IMO I think some people have put the blame of what happened to JESUS on the Jews that turned against him. One of his own discipals Judas sold his location where he could be found for 20 pieces of Silver and after realizing what he had done hung himself. All of that was blamed on the Jewish people for Centuries by most Christians in all countries. It was only a minute number of Jews back then that had turned on JESUS but it was like being guilty by association to the Christians I guess. I think I am correct in this but the real connecton came with Hitler. It was his goal to kill every Jewish person on earth and he tried and the Holocost was one of the most terrible atrocities to ever happen. Israel is the only Jewish State/Country left on Earth and I am very glad and proud that the United States is their strongest supporter and ally. If I have quoted anything not true by mistake please someone correct me!!

Well that is where the issue comes in with me I guess. On the Boat trailer the seals on the hubs on the inside are designed to keep water out so squirting grease in a Hub Buddy the rear seal is not suppose to let water in so it should not let grease out so I could not tell the inner bearings where not getting grease from hub buddy. I guess it developed an air lock and didn't let the grease get to the inners. Anyway, learned a lesson and went back to doing it the old fashion way and that way I knew it was done right.

Everyone can have opinions and I have mine about Hub Buddies. I use to pack my boat trailer beariings every year in the Spring. Taking my time and done in an hour and replacing the grease seals with a new ones. I will say this about Hub Buddy's/ Bearing Buddies. I had to have my boat and trailer hauled to my house twice on a flat bed wrecker because the Bearing buddies were greasing the outer bearings but not the inner bearings and I had two bearings seize to the spindle and lock up. Nothing better than getting your hands covered in grease and knowing it's done right.

I don't believe as they do completely but no one deserves to be shot because of their beliefs or their faith period. I know they are of Christian faith so I will still send a prayer to GOD for those effected by this tragety. Also for the police officers wounded in this act of insanity.

Hornaday Critical Defense in all magazines for all self defense weapons.

Did any one hear any of the police officers radio for an ambulance. I didn't hear one! As far as what he did to himself, that should eliminate any more children if he has any now..........JMHO

Adolescents can find take or make time to make a baby but cannot find time to be parents, mother and father, mom and dad or what ever else they might be called. Making them is the fun part. Raising them is the hard part. Raising them properly or correctly is evidently the impossible part. Being a parent to most is buying food and providing a roof and getting them a cell phone loaded with everything is all being a parent requires. I'm guessing that is because that is pretty much how they were raised so they think thats all that is needed. Dedicating time to them and actually carrying on a conversation with them these days is almost non existant in many homes. Way to many homes are single parent homes and most of them have 2 to 3 kids in them. Between lack of parenting and the internet I'm surprised more children are not acting out , many just wanting attention.............

I have 1 I use in my house at times to knock the chill off without turning house unit on. It is on a 20 lb gas bottle and I also have 5 smoke and toxic Gas detectors scattered through out my house and it has never set off any of the toxic gas detectors when I use it so I would guess they don't put any fumes in the air. Someone may have better information that does use them for hunting.

First issue with that plan is the Fderal Government will not allow Garnishment of either disability or Social Security checks what so ever. If you put a garnishment they either won't work or soon as the garnishment hits their check which takes about 3 weeks they will just quit the job and go get another. It's not like jobs are hard to find if any one wants one. What will fix the issue is to make the payments affordable rill the debt is paid instead of taking 1/2 of their check each week make it a 25.00 or 30 dollar a week payment and you will find they will keep a job and pay the debt so they can get their license back. Then make sure they get insurance before they begin driving and if they don't take them away again. I know this will work because I have 1 rogue Grandson that I wished would grow up and begin to accept his responsiblity for things he does and he played that game for over a year of job jumping. When a judge asked him how much he could afford to pay the court he told them and they accepted it and he paid his debt. It took 19 months but it got paid and he got insurance and was driving again right up until the Dead beat Dad law got him. Again the judge asked him how much he could pay towards his back child support and also pay his child support and keep his insurance paid and he told them and he and the judge came to an agreement but the judge made it clear about 1 thing. If he let this deal lasp he was going directly to jail. Well he cleaned up his act and got off drugs and could pass drug tests and even randon drug tests. His older brother owns and Electrical Contracting business and he pput him to work and taught him how to be an electrcian. After a year of proving he could stay clean, work every day and not was learning a trade his older brother stepped up to help him again. But this time Justin, the older brother that owned to company went to the judge and told the jidge that the mother of the child was a drug addict and he ask the judge to have her investigated. Sure enough she was on Meth and Heroine. He asked that the child be put in the care of the baby's grandparents as he had already ask them and my son and DIL agreed to it. The judge sent Child Services to the home un announced and took the child into their care until everything could be arranged and now my Son and DIL have the little girl, Coty the girls father is still working every day nad finally got his life in line and the mother of the girl can visit the baby girl at my sons home only 1 hour a week on Sunday and is going to drug rehab. All of this took over a 3 year period to get it done but it shows it can happen if a judge is willing to work with people. Sorry for the long post!!

Your 1000% right Raoul!!! When I moved here were I live 20 years ago between Gallatin and Hendersonville about 15 miles when you left the city limits in either town on either side of the 31E all you saw was beautiful farm land and cows grazing and big beautiful farm houses. Now that same trip you see Apartments, Housing developemt with 5000 sq ft houses with yards so small you could cut them with a weed eater selling around $650,000.00. I was thrilled when the state stepped in and shut down one developer on one of the beautiful Farms. It was at 1 time a dairy farm and the farmer had kept the Greystone Dairy Barn up and needing little to no restoration and the building is over 130 years old and it sets right in the middle of a field of flat level land of about 100 acres that was pastures during the dairy farming period. A developer was 95% done with closing on the farm with the grandchildren of the owner that had passed away. The state told the developer he could not build on any of the land that the barn is located on and it is going in some historic organization for protection. Because of the lay out of the farm there was no way the developer could build on the property and be able to have roads and water and sewer lines to the houses so he pulled out and from what I have heard the The Tennessee Historic Society has made an offer to buy the all property. I have not heard any more about it since they made the offer. New signs have gone up stating that it is a historic site.

My heart doctor had the hospital send me home with a cane because he knows about all of my other issues and one of the things they want you to do after open heart surgery is to talk and because many times the places I am walking are not flat but more like my yard he insists I use a cane to keep from falling. Little did he know but my SIL had a custom cane made for me back 3 years ago as it helped my hips when I would walk to the mail box. Without it I would be in intense pain by the time I got back to the house but with the cane I have almost little to no pain. Normally when I go grocery shopping I park near one of the cart traps for putting shopping carts in and I grab 1 out of there and push it inside and use it to shop. It eliminates all my hip pain by doing that. I'm always looking for new ways to do things that help with daily chores so I don't have to depend on pain meds unless I have zero options and then just stopping what I am doing and sit down and rest. I had to give up one of the loves of my life back in 2011 and that was bass fishing. It got to be to much on my body so SON IN LAW has my Skeeter Bass boat now and ever so often he will get a short day at work and call me and we go and bass fish on Percy Priest lake cause I can sit on the back seat and fish and he runs the trolling motor and does all the fetching for me when I need something. I have not been in over a year cause of his work but thats fine. He takes good care of my daughter and grand children and thats more important than fishing. I really don't have any issues with my life at present. I see many folks a lot worse off than I am and it is what keeps me going..................

Well according to my doctor I have some form of arthritus in every joint in my body which all relates back to that truck back in 1978. The only time I am not in some kind of pain is when I am not moving. Or maybe when I am sleeping as long as I don't try to move or roll over and then it might wake me up. I have learned to live with it until it's gets unbearable due mostly to weather. Damp days are worse and then I take something for it. I can tell it's raining just by standing up in the morning while getting out of bed. Just grit my teeth and head for the coffee pot letting Darby out on the trip.

Is it beginning to get crowded in east Tennessee?.......................
