Well I can agree with this about 95% but in some cases I think I know why some folks don't have insurance. I know many peole remember when that Tornado hit Nashville hard and done some major damage and hit east Nashville especically hard. I have some friends that lived in East Nashville and got hit hard. They had homeowners insurance when it hit in 1998. They are still waiting on Insurance Companies to settle after 20 years. There are also people that suffered damage that could not afford insurance and FEMA stepped up and fixed their homes within a month. I do realize what your saying and I agree but I think people have realized that having Insurance does not mean you will get help with your claim and get your home fixed in a timely fashion. They have all filed lawsuits and still waiting for settlements. Their homes go made livable but only because neighbors stepped up and helped them have a home again.

I had a friend call me about an hour ago and he has a friend that has a Model 86 Bersa he is considering selling. It's a 13+1 gun black color with wood grips. His asking price is $450.00. I am not to familiar with the Model 86. I know it was discontinued in 1994 when they introduced the Thunder. Can any one give me more input on these guns. I have a Thunder and a model 85 and I gave $300.00 for the 85. I'm thinking $450.00 is to much. I am willing to make an offer on the gun but don't want to insult the seller either. Would $350.00 be a fair offer for the gun. I will get to see the gun tomorrow when they come by here to let me see it. Any information on any one that has an 86 would be appreciated.

Since I am not sure which movie you are referring to I will guess it is American Sniper. First off it it Hollywood so that is what they do. I'm sure he talked about things in his book that Hollywood was not allowed to use in the movie so they impervise. The Military even had a few things removed from the book before it was finally allowed to be published. It was as good as they were allowed to make it all things considered. The only people that know for sure where the men/women that served with him in country and they ain't talking so I just took the book verses the movie at face value. He saved a lot of lives doing what he did and for that I have the utmost respect for him and I will leave it at that.

When I got ready to move from BOA I looked at 5th/3rd and spoke with them but they just didn't have that hometown bank feeling so went with Wilson Bank & Trust and love them folks. Oly been with them 1.5 months and about everyone in the branch knows my name and their is about 12 employees there and i have only been insde the branch about 5 times and the rest has been drive up teller.

I have not seen it but now I won't bother............

I would agree it was a great motion picture and it took me quite a while to be able to watch it becuase of what friends had told me about it. I bet very few people know that La Drang Valley was the first real encounter that took place between American and Vietnamese forces. it gave our upper military personel the intelligence they needed to know just what the Vietnamese Military was willing to sacrifice in a war. In that battle 124 Americans were wounded, 234 Americans died and there was over 2000 Vietnamese killed in that battle.

I agree it probably could have been better but when you begin to make a movie and they tie 1 hand behind your back and threaten to do 2 it does not leave a lot of wiggle room to work with. Randall Wallace ran into the same issues on his Movie "When we were soldiers" and so did so many other directors when it came to making movies about wars starting with Vietnam. Coppola ran into many issue with Apocalypse Now

Shooting him as he is running away might be looked at in several different ways and you could wind up in trouble. Many times cases like that have gone bad because if he is going away they might look at the fact that the threat to you was over and you didn't need to shoot him in the back. Then they may look at the fact that he had already killed 2 and njured more and is wanted and had 100's of police officers hunting for him to catch him before he killed or hurt someone else and pin a medal on you and give you a big check. It is one of the Damned if you do and Damned if you don't issues..................JMHO

If he would have shown up at my house I would have been $20,000.00 richer today and he might have been sorry he came to my door. If they do find out who may have helped him I hope they put them in a jail cell next to him.......JMHO

Redford has had some really great movies and also some duds. This looks like it is going to be one of his good ones for sure..............

Just heard that on the news 2 minutes ago!!!! Really glad to hear that for sure with no more killings!!!

Now to show ya'll how my mind works these days after looking at the title of the new Movie I was looking to see a Mule in it. I did see a Mule in the movie trailer but it didn't sawn on me till I was laying in bed last night the he is the Mule and he is a drug runner moving the product. I had a little laugh out loud in the dark when it finally sunk in............ Now with that said I think Gran Torino was a great movie and speaking of that movie has anyone heard from him recently? I no with all the avatar chnages I sometimes have trouble keeping up!!!

I am beginning to wonder if he has slipped through that crack Grunt mentioned earlier. I hate to think he did cause that puts a lot of lives in danger for sure.

I don't think he produced or directed most of those, Just performed in them but I could be wrong and many times I am..........

Dang!!!! and I thought boat mechanics were rip offs. Guess I was wrong!!!!

Has Clint Eastwood ever made a bad movie? It will be worth seeing for sure. I will see it when it comes out on DVD. I don't go the movie theaters any more.

I have heard and witnessed how hard it is to adopt a child here and will never understand why??? In the past I have known 3 or more couples personally that have applied to adopt a child and been denied. One for example was a young couple in mid 20's that we buying a home, both were working and made a great income and if they would have been approved they would still have been able to provide a great life for a child because husbands income was 6 figures and loss of wifes income would not have effected their lifestyle at all. So, there was no income issues, no housing issues, no health issues of either person, no family background of any type of abuse, and wife couldn't get pregnant so they chose to adopt. Hey got denied. They appealed 3 times and got denied all three times. After the third appeal they did not give up. They went out of country and adopted a set of twin boys ages 1.5 years old and the whole adoption program took less then a month so go figure????? I have no clue why they make it so hard to adopt I almost think it is deliberate to keep enough children in the foster care program to make sure people in DHS stay in business and folks keep their jobs.............JMHO

They do everyday. It's not news so you don't hear about it unless you know them. I have know 4 Vietnam Vets that have taken their own lives over past couple years. I'm thinking this guy wanted to die also but the police didn't make his wish come true. I do wish he had not taken a life in the process............JMHO

I heard an interview last night that the area he is in has a ton of caves from small to pretty big and it will take quite a while to search all of them. I don't think he has gotten out of that area as he would have tried to hijack another car or truck and kill someone else in the process like he did that gentleman in that Pick up truck. If I'm not mistaken there was another man hunt in that same area not to long ago and I think it lasted about 4 days before the guy finally surrendered to police in the field. For some reason I don't think this guy plans on going out that way. I heard on the news again that he had an arsenal of weapons which I find hard to believe since he is a man on foot running from the law. I figure maybe 2 guns at most. I do hope they catch him before he hurts someone else. I would also like to thank anyone that might be a member here or have family for your help in keeping the law enforcement people supplied with plenty of food and water and support. That goes to show just how much the law enforcement family is appreciated by the people regardless of how a few might view them.

The clause that was put in the buyers property contract that bought a 20 acre tract is only allowed to sell it according to the agreement in which they purchased it. Believe me, when my parents got ready to sell they sought out one of the best attorneys around at the time and that was L.B.Parker and he just happened to own a spread a bit bigger then ours about 10 miles away in a community called Nosegay and when he was finished drawing up the paperwork he told my folks that there won't be a subdivision, Apartment, or mobile home ever on that property. I also found out yesterday that 4 of those unimproved tracts are own by people that live down there they bought for their children when they get ready to build.

Prayers going out to all of the officers and their Families.

The news just announced that 5 police officers have been shot in a town down near Myrtle Beach in SC.............. UPDATE: They have the shooter in custody!!!

If the 18 year old is telling the truth then there is one more bad guy out there that was involved in the theft itself.............

The found 364 of the guns in Chicago suburb and caught a bad guy!! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/10/02/400-guns-stolen-ups-facility-memphis-atf-warns/1498314002/

That is one thing my mother and father were thinking about when it came time to sell the Farm/Ranch back years ago. Now taking into consideration we are talking over 2000 acres of land but only 1000 acres was fit for housing. The rest was all in flood stage due to Harpeth River ran through the ranch and all of the bottom land could only be use for agriculture either crops or pasture land. When they put it up for sale two men came out and discussed buying it all since it was made plain in the beginning that it would not be sold in pieces to the original buyer. It was either all or none. The 2 gentlemen were also told there would be resrictions that went with the purchase. They had to sign an agreement that the land would be sold in 20 acre tracts only. On each tract could be1single family dwelling and one barn and no mobile homes. The 2 gentlemen said they would need a week to consider it and would get back with them. 1 week later they came back to meet with my parents. They signed the paperwork agreeing to all the conditions put forth by my parents making it binding and a week later the property changed hands. 1 of the gentlemen was a lawyer and the other man his partner was a Tennessee State Senator at the time. When it went up for sale it went up with all of the restrictions listed. In less then 1 year all of the tracts were sold. Since our family cemetery is located on the property I visit it as often as I can because my oldest son is buried there and I drive all over the farm ever so often and everyone has obeyed the requirements that has built. There are still about 9 or 10 tracts that are still unimproved. My mother made it quite clear the farm would never be a subdivision or an apartment complex. I have 3 friends that I went to school that bought tracts and we visit when I go down. They love living on the place. I wish more families would consider doing the same thing when they get ready to sell an old Home Place and slow down all these subdivisions and apartments complexes from going up. It only took my parents a month to close a deal preventing that from happening................JMHO
