  1.  Make sure your MIL isn't around when you're shooting them.  :D   I hope my attempt at linking something works this time.   "http://www.syracuse.com/us-news/index.ssf/2015/04/georgia_man_shoots_at_armadillo_bullet_hits_mother-in-law_in_back.html"
  2.  I wonder if he realizes that his political career might hinge on this decision. 
  3.  I haven't checked lately, but Guns and Ammo on Summer used to carry powders and primers. They were always high so I've never bought any of their's. 
  4. For those of you that speak "Legalize" (which I don't) this should be the link to the actual ruling.   http://www.supremecourt.gov/op...pdf/13-9972_p8k0.pdf
  5. http://www.businessinsider.com...traffic-stops-2015-4   Supreme Court rules that cops can't hold you for even a few extra minutes after routine traffic stops The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 vote Tuesday that routine traffic stops cannot be extended for further police investigation. After police have completed a routine traffic stop, they cannot hold you for even a few extra minutes without violating your rights, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday. In a 6-3 vote, the court said constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure prevent police agencies from extending traffic stops for additional investigation, such as the use of a drug-sniffing dog. “We hold that a police stop exceeding the time needed to handle the matter for which the stop was made violates the Constitution’s shield against unreasonable seizures,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in a written ruling on behalf of the court. Justice Clarence Thomas, writing on behalf of the dissenting justices, said the court’s interpretation could blur the definitions of probable cause and reasonable suspicion for U.S. police departments. In Rodriguez v. United States, a case brought by a Nebraska man who was pulled over for driving erratically on a state highway in 2012, the court majority said police lacked probable cause in a search that led to the man's drug charge. The man in the case, Dennys Rodriguez, had his license checked and was issued a warning for his improper driving. But then a police officer asked Rodriguez if he would consent to having a drug-sniffing dog walk around the vehicle. He refused. The officer still held Rodriguez and told him to wait in his vehicle for “seven or eight minutes,” according to a report in the Hill, until another officer arrived with the drug-sniffing dog. Police ended up arresting Rodriguez for possession of methamphetamines and Rodriguez was indicted on federal drug charges. But at the moment that the first officer completed the initial check, all further searches of Rodriguez's car were illegal, Ginsburg said in the ruling. The "tolerable duration of police inquiries in the traffic-stop context is determined by the seizure’s ‘mission’ — to address the traffic violation that warranted the stop,” she wrote. “Authority for the seizure thus ends when tasks tied to the traffic infraction are — or reasonably should have been — completed.” Thomas, along with Justices Samuel Alito and Anthony Kennedy, argued that police should have the authority to detain people when they suspect other crimes are being committed. “Had [the police officer] arrested, handcuffed and taken Rodriguez to the police station for his traffic violation, he would have complied with the Fourth Amendment,” Thomas wrote in the dissent. “Such a view of the Fourth Amendment makes little sense.”
  6.  I'm really an oddball, my first and only 1911 is a Norinco.
  7.    If you really want an adventure, try driving in Dallas. 
  8.  Haslam is a politician, I don't think he will put his signature on it, pro or con.   If he has his eyes on Lamar's seat, it would be political suicide to veto it.
  9. Congratulations on your escape and welcome to the great state of Tennessee.  Thank you for not complaining about our  10 cent per box tax on ammo (old story).  :D    I would also like to offer some advice. If you are going to Crappie fish or turkey hunt and you’ve been out there in Commie land for 30 years, please, for your safety and the safety of some of our harmless critters, educate or re-educate yourself on the species of snakes we have in the state.  You never know who you will be sharing a brush pile or tree stump with.  :whistle:
  10. I went to the Post Office and signed up the  morning of my 18th Birthday and joined the Navy that same afternoon.      If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It's the law. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number.     http://www.militaryspot.com/resources/military_draft/
  11.  Either one of these agencies should be able to help you.   http://www.unitedcountry.com/   http://www.landandfarm.com/
  12.  Welcome from a northern neighbor in Tipton County.
  13.  I haven't been here too long myself, but welcome to the forum from Tipton County.
  14.    I think we should be real quite about the fact that a .50 BMG "might" penetrate body armor.  :whistle:
  15. Thought this might interest you folks around Franklin.   www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3024884/Meal-extra-crunch-Diner-s-surprise-finds-50-PEARLS-inside-baked-oyster.html
  16.  How much extra velocity do you think you would gain with a barrel that is 1/2 to 1 inch longer than existing 380s?   I'm looking forward to the release of the new Browning 1911-380.   It has a 4 1/2 inch barrel which is longer than my Sig or Beretta.   http://www.browning.com/products/interactive/firearms/1911-380/
  17.    I believe that's correct when speaking to an individual but, "all y'all" is proper when speaking to a group.  :D        What do you have against the new guy?    :-\   BTW, welcome to the forum  :wave:  and I'm sure you will be welcome in any part of the state..
  18. For you Rossi guys, here's a link to the "Rossi Expert". He has parts and a DIY DVD on action work or will do the work for you.  I have the DVD but haven't started on mine yet (.45 Colt)   http://store.stevesgunz.com/
  19. How about something in pure silver?   https://store.nwtmint.com/   See silver bullet bullion
  20.  I just checked my mags and the 13 rounders have the "2" but the one 10 rounder does not. There only about an 1/8 of an inch difference in length between them.
  21. If you can find one, you should give the sig P230/232 a try. 
  22. I can't remember where I saw this but it pretty well sums it up in a lot of folks minds.     "Radical Muslims want to kill you..........moderate Muslims want the Radical Muslims to kill you"
  23. I haven't been on the forum too long myself, but welcome.  Glad to see someone else from this area joining.
