Congrats! Try as I might I have never been able to tell the difference between a bull and a cow when it's on my plate. She will make some tasty vittles for quite some time; what she weigh?

Oh, don't get me started with these things. I'm no turkey hunter, so I may be missing something, but they have camo, which that one may be sold as, that resembles a turkey. It's designed to hunt behind...just didn't sound safe to me, then I seen this: http://www.kansas.com/sports/outdoors/article145929249.html Heck, I would get nervous placing deer decoys out, so I don't do it anymore, even though I had all kinds of orange one when I did.

Looks to be in great shape for such an old gun. Should prove to be a fine little varmint/small game gun.

The thing is, he should have been charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide instead of murder. They had the gun, knew the bullet had ricocheted off the pavement and still went for murder. Everything else being equal, this would of never made such headlines had it not been made so politically charged. Look at the incident here locally, hot young prostitute shoots homeless man and it only gets a few days of press. It has many elements that could of made this story linger in the press, but nobody picked it as THE story. Whether we like it or not, this is our legal system at work, 12 jurors decided and we need to accept it. I don't believe in double jeopardy, if a person is found not guilty then so be it. Do we really want the feds being able to pick and choose who they will prosecute when they are acquitted at the state level? How about the state charging you after a city, or county trial? No, I think they need to settle the whole jurisdiction portion before the trial and make sure they have a good case before they go for broke. Of course this doesn't affect criminal acts across state lines such as murders committed in multiple states, but not for the same incident.

No, it seems all they need is to be under state care, then the state can recoup their expenditures. There are a few loopholes, such as a disabled child in the house or a child living there with no means to go elsewhere. The child can be an adult child of the home owner in state care btw.

No, if it's not a good match, it's not a good match. No sense having a pet that will just cause stress, it's supposed to be an enjoyable partnership.

I kind of figured that; I wonder why Benchmade won't mail directly to customers?

Charging Handles...how much to pay.

Well, in that case go with the BCM. After all it should be about what you like, and if you can find a deal too...icing. -
So I got to cleaning up in my shed and came across several multi-tools and a couple knives I wanted to sell, but I have a question on auto knives and mailing them. I had to go through a dealer to get my Benchmade serviced because they won't ship straight to a customer even though it is legal to own here in TN. So the question is, is it legal to ship auto knives withing TN? Also, anyone know anything about what this one would be worth? The links I found list them at over $200 for used but then an other at less than $100 new though there seems to be a difference between an older knife vs a newer made one for some reason. On the blade it has Duane Dieter Masters of Defense Spec Ops Trainer 154 cm It is brand new, never used so what I call new old-stock, which if I read it right should be one of the expensive ones.

Yea, and if your folks go into a nursing home, the state can put a lean on their property. And if they transfer (gift) said property, it had better be at least 5 years before they go into the nursing home or the state can still go after it. Knew someone that was fighting the state because their parent had parcelled out some land to them and they built a house on it, and the state said they owned their land and house because the parent went into a nursing home before the 5 years was up. I changed jobs so don't know the outcome but I thought it was BS for the state to even attempt that.

Even if you decide you need an extended latch later, they have those as accessories as well and you will still be under what a big name standard one goes for. And many also try and sell the ambidextrous notion, which I don't understand...you put one finger on each side of the handle, no matter what hand you use it will engage the latch. I'm a righty but shoot rifles left handed, never had an issue charging my weapons, and they're all right handed models, even my bolt actions. Guns I shoot right handed so never had the need, except for training, to use any of the ambidextrous features so ones with or without them are ok by me, nothing ever gets in the way. But those extended latches have gotten in the way before, but it wasn't one of the fancy ones, it was an accessory which I quickly discarded, now they are all standard. -

Speaking for me, I go for the 20ish ones because I get a standard handle, not any of the fancy ones with extended latches and such. I've tried some extended latch types and they don't do anything for me, and I'm not much for logos...at least at full price. Just make sure their made from the harder aluminum, 7075, and that the brand doesn't have bad reviews. -
Happy dog for sure, and a lucky one to have an owner who will care for him for the rest of his life.

Looks like a heeler/beagle mix, he will be a great dog I bet.

Welcome to TN and TGO; you will find this to be a very friendly crowd and most of us will be more than willing to explore any new endeavors with you.

Most debtors, credit cards, loans etc, can't hold a third party responsible for any debt. My MIL passed away and I took the responsibility of taking care of notifications to debtors. You will need a few copies of the certified death certificate, some will accept a faxed, scanned copy, others will insist on an original.

You did good, and chose the correct weapon. It's not the weapon you like, it's the one you carry that you need to practice with. Now you know to practice those hard shots with your EDC, and have time to choose a better inner tube

Do you have your original disks? If not download the drivers. First try to see if your computer has a rollback feature and go to a date it still looked fine, if that don't work try reinstalling the drivers for your graphics card and monitor.

Well, unless another friend requests one, my season is done. Last evening, two minutes before my personal "do not shoot" time two doe walked into my field of view. They didn't present a shot and disappeared at the bottom of the hill toward my food plot. I waited to see if they'd appear for a few minutes, when they didn't, I set my rifle down thinking they laid down. Started packing to leave when they showed up at the opposite side of my food plot, I figured I had already engaged them so they were in play. I chose to take the older of the two and took a neck shot. It was at the exact same spot as the buck, but unlike the buck she had enough energy to go up and over the hill. At first I thought I missed, but when I went down I found a good blood trail and tracked her down. Man, you would think she weighed more than her 125 lbs trying to get her back up the hill, I played hell trying to get any traction and felt like she was stuck on something. Took what felt an hour to get to the top, and once there she decided to slide down the other side taking me along a couple times. The rest of my time will be used to make improvements to my stand and hunting area in general.

Because it's obviously someone that is illegally doing it, not a lawfully carrying individual.

Yea, but my check comes in every month, and I work on top of that so all's well here too. The thing is that military service isn't for everyone, and unlike you many don't want to serve at all, which is fine too, us in the 1% have got this.
