I had planned to do something similar with shot shells and never got around to it. I have used my S&W Governor with .410 shells to do Bee Skeet, a lot of fun but more misses than hits.

Just remembered one other rate increase event that y'all should watch for. A while back when Experian had the big security leak I put a lock on my credit reports. When my insurance policies came due I noticed one had increased a lot. I contact my agent and he said he would check and get back. A few days later he called and said that rates were partially based on my credit rating and the lock had sent back an error that they had interpreted as a big drop in credit rating. When they fixed that, the bill dropped back to about what it had been the year before. I then had him check my other policies and they had done the same thing and I just didn't notice so they send me a refund check.

Could be, 1944 was what the label on the photo said, I didn't check my history.

Sorry, no idea.

Get out the big guns.

Jimmy Dean would have been 17 in 1945 and his career didn't take off till he was in his early 20s so it would have been unlikely he was hanging with Lawrence Welk. Does look like him.

Could be, I was just taking a guess, to low resolution to see much but almost looks like a double barrel to me.

Ok lesson one, this is a shotgun

Great welcome. Our verification that we were not in the NE anymore (we moved from Western NY) was when we were down to close on our place. We were looking for a place to eat in the evening and I almost cut off a car with my F250. It was a double turn lane and the woman pulled up on the passenger side and motioned my wife to roll down the window. In NY we would probably have not made eye contact, but my rolled down the window intending to apologize, and the lady said, honey do you need to get over, I'll wait for you, it can be rough getting through traffic in a strange city. That and the first gun shop I stopped in and said I was just looking since we hadn't moved yet, he asked where we were moving from and he welcomed us to America. You will love East TN.

I was with the same independent agent in Western NY for 46 years and was very happy with the service and flexibility. He saved me money several times, moving me around and giving me short term coverage when transferring a car. Independent was my first choice when we moved 4 years ago but when I got the paperwork to sign I actually read it and it had a clause about house being visible from a certain number of neighbors. (I wanted cars and house with the same company). I called the agent and he said that was standard with all the companies he handled. That was not the case in NY, I asked after it happened. Was worried our house is sorta visible by two neighbors in the WInter but hidden the rest of the year. At that point I called a couple of bigger companies and non had that clause and I went with Farm Bureau, been happy so far but no claims either.

Looks serious, wonder what they are after.
