Thanks...I actually had a pack split after 4 miles into the mountains once. That sucked beyond belief...thank god for duck tape.

wow...has this thread changed

The mass appraisal system that most, if not all, counties use isn't perfect by far. In addition, the "appraisal" of your house may have been conducted 3 years ago (takes that long to appraise all of the property in the county). If you're going to appeal your value to the board make sure to bring documentation of the property value. Just saying "it ain't werth dat much, me naibors house sold last month fer less" won't cut it. Neither will bringing in list prices from the newspaper or a real estate agents opinion. An actual independent appraisal is always best. But the easiest thing may be to look for inaccuracies in the informaiton. Square footage, quality (above average, etc.) number of bathrooms, anything that could throw it back in your favor.

Hummm....I can invision using the motion switch combined with a spud gun for some reason...maybe loaded with rotton tomatoes?

Anyone here former military and actually carried a large ALICE pack? I have it on my mind to buy one for a BOB and hiking/camping but I have read mixed reviews about their comfort.

Nope...just somewhat familiar with the tactics. It ticks me off to watch Comissioners use the "but we'll save x dollars by spending 6 million NOW!!!"

The rate ONLY decreases if the $$$ spent stays the same or goes down. If the County/City/Municipality increases spending the rate may stay the same or even go up. Sounds like they are jacking the values up so you won't realize they increased their budget for 09-10.

Welcome from another Murfreesboro resident!! Glad to see the Middle Tennessee group growing.

I'd be better at IPSC than bowling anyway...

Yep. An unloaded gun is a paperweight.

I have to admit that I love my Versipack...I also owe TGO David an apology...I kinda poked a little fun about his "murse" several months ago in a similar thread. But he was right, they are great! Mine has experiences a 200ft fall and, once I got to it, no damage at all...just a little dusty.

I have tried MOB and find it extremely uncomfortable if I have to sit down. I have 2 carry handguns. I pocket carry my PF-9 ot OWB aat 3:00. You'd never see it either way. I also carry a Springfield XD(m) IWB at 3:00. It's a LOT bigger but still concealable.

Excellent point Rightwinger. If you try to enter the storm damage areas tomorrow I can almost guarantee that you will be questioned if you are not a part of the organized response team. There are still a LOT of power lines down as well as large trees and debris. The main priorities tomorrow will be clearing the streets first, then right of ways, and of course any emergency/life saving will take first priority. If anyone is looking for help or more information please direct them to City Home - City of Murfreesboro

There was a thread here that was lost due to the server issues earlier today. In that thread I had a post with information for people who wanted to assist with the recovery to meet at the Walter Hill School and groups would be dispatched to the locations from the school. I received an update late this afternoon as I left around 8:30 that this has changed and emergency personnel will not be organizing at the school. For those who want to help, I believe TGO David had mentioned St. Marks Church Disaster Relief and others had mentioned to contact local churches for organizational efforts. This seems to be the best place to start at this time as local agencies are overwhelmed with the magnitude of this event and will be working their way through the damaged areas tomorrow, some of which are still, tonight, inaccessible and yet to be surveyed.

I'm sure she thinks Osam....oops Obama will magically appear out of a cloud of mist and save her from all criminals. Sounds like she has her head in the clouds already.

Man...I haven't heard of Western Auto in years. I don't think they still have any stores, but at one time they sold a lot of rifles.

He'll probably just talk the pirates to death....

I have heard Pancake Pantry is good. I just don't want to walk that far at 5AM to get in line. I always drive back to Pigeon Forge and go to Duffs Smorgasbord....mmm. If you don't mind the drive head over to what's left of Elkmont and walk through the old city portion that is closed. The home sites on the river are amazing!!

Agreed. Add it to the code of conduct? lol

I tend to stay with CRKT but my last buy was a Gerber and it's holding up well so far.

Always in favor!!! Our priorities are in the wrong place... Que Bella!!!

mmmm....pure, unadulterated evil...I LIKE IT!!! lol...Nice collection!

Damn...sorry to hear that.

What type of scope did you choose?

+1 on the Crossbreed. I love mine for my XD(M).
