Several things to consider..... Ramsey has influence to a point... I think the reality is that Haslam is the problem, not Ramsey... More than that, Beth Harwell is a problem too, but for a different reason... I think Haslam is thinkin senatorial and presidential thoughts... He has to look reasonable to everybody on both sides of everything... Ramsey is, I believe, Haslam's "lap dog"... I think he is bought and paid for in as far as Haslam is concerned, and, as such, will not do anything that smacks of clashing with him on anything... Said another way, he is doin all he can within the constraints he has on him... Sadly, that is the state of politics most everywhere, everybody is beholden to someone... The fact is also that the Tennessee Board of Regents is made up of a bunch of rich political activists and donors... Not all of them see guns as the answer to this problem... The fact is that rich folks by and large run the gubmt, like it or not... This campus carry thing has a set of formidable adversaries and Ramsey aint the main one... To say he is is to ignore lots of things that simply can't be ignored... I think the "campus carry" thing will have to be decided in the courts... It lets the political class off the hook... leroy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The fact that you responded means that you did, indeed, "...get my ramblings..."... You were offended... I called no names, yet ya felt the need to "respond"...    Now to the details...   RE:  This...    As to the first sentence... Glad ta hear it... Actions speak louder than words... I'll reserve judgement and watch a while... Up ta now ya been pretty hard on the "Judeo-Christian" ethic... It's covered in the First Amendment...    As to the second sentence... Ya could have fooled me... Look back thru the hot button threads and see what ya wrote... This is just the latest one...   As to  "...as you would like to imply..."... Ya never miss a chance to either bash or berate the believers among us... Your words in various posts have implicated you... I would think a lot more of you if ya actually did the "...live and let live thing...".... Ya might consider it...    leroy

Hozzie...   Here's what you said in the first post....     Here's what you said on post #12....       Again... "No good deed goes unpunished"... There's no way for you to be satisfied... My point is that he, a "ratty polititian" is helpin all he can...    Re-read this from post #11:     RE:   This...   I got no problem with ya not believin... The First Amendment covers this as well... My point is that ya cant seem to leave it alone... Ya wear this "no god, no Christian thing" on your sleeve for a past time, and seem to snipe and whine about anyone that is... Looks ta me like the old "double standard" to me... While i'm on the subject;  RE:  ... "...completely ridiculous and offensive..."; i find the "no good deed goes unpunished" and the "Christian" thing "... completely ridiculous and offensive..." myself, so we are even now... We both think eachother are "completely ridiculous and offensive"...   The point here is that ya cant seem to be placated nor satisfied... Ramsey stands up for a 2A issue and ya still bitch...  Ya bitch more anytime the word "Christian" or "Judeo-Christian" is mentioned... That's the point...   By the way,  i never claim "victim status" and neither should anyone else...   Thats what i think... We can agree to disagree on this but i reserve the right to have an opinion too..   leroy

I think the "wet tumblin" thing is the ultimate way to clean brass... It would be ideal for the black powder cartridge shooters among us...   leroy

I'm continually amazed at the "no good deed (...or spoken truth...) goes unpunished in some quarters here... Ron Ramsey told the truth...   My opinion is that it would have been better received if he had said "... Students should arm themselves..." instead of "....Christians should arm themselves..."... It's truly a fascinating phenomenon....I dont like career polititians any more than anyone else here does... I guess that ya could say im one of "...The Biggest Haters..." here... The sobering truth is that... A... He told the truth even though he is a "ratty polititian'... You need to take that at face value... B... The colleges are, in fact, a big lobby, and they have great influence and sway in this and other states... They get bowed to... Ramsey aint the cause of that, the idiot "educrats" are... They are the problem... not Ramsey...    I cant help but think (...im very suspicious, ya understand...) that some folks who are vocally decryin this alleged "hyprocracy" on Ramsey's part; are really bitchin and are "repulsed" that he used the word "Christian"... Saying, in effect, that "Christians" are "lesser children" and, as such, are not "worthy" of saving... You know who you are...   Remember this, the First Amendment allows for freedom of expression of religious beliefs (...or the lack of them...)... The Second provides that freedom of expression (...and all the ohers...)...   That is all...   watchin leroy

You aint the only one that thinks this is a very distinct possibility brother... There are some mighty interestin, strange, and hideous things goin on out there that we've not seen before in this country...

  If ya like the Fenix PD35, ya might want to check one of these out... I've got one and i like it as well as the Fenix (...i like them too...)... They are on sale here... http://www.batteryjunction.com/nitecore-p12-smo-xml2.html   I do a lot of business with these guys, they are straight and these lights are good ones... Buy without hesitation...   leroy

I'll add to the chorus... I dont think ya can go wrong with a Franchi or a Remington 1100... i like the recoil operated light weight Franchi a bunch... I've seen lots of powder burned thru them...   leroy

Great job...!!!   leroy

As Mac and others have wisely opined; there is no location immune from this sort of thuggism... Ya need to be ready if, God forbid, that terrible time comes to your door... There have been several in our neck of the woods as well... A couple of the would be robbers are layin in the graveyard... It's an idea whose time has come...   Keep your tools handy at all times... leroy

This is good stuff...!!  Congrats to your wife for solving a little problem and teaching a valuable lesson in the process... It don't get better than this...   Keep up the good work... leroy

I wouldn't go the fair in Knoxville, TN; armed or not... Why would anybody go over to a place that has extended an open invitation for every thug and idiot in east tennessee to attend... It's already on the "frontier" over in east knoxville... The only time i go over there is to the gun show where everyone is armed; and im thinkin about not doin that...  Let this bunch wallow in their own filth... The city of knoxville needs to loose rohero (...or whatever her name is...) and the clown that is chief of police... I'm beginnin to think we need to loose the "Snooz" Haslam as well...   Non attendin leroy

For what it's worth... There are (...i think...) two sizes of recievers for Rem 870's... Small and large... They evidently quit makin the "small" years ago and use what is basically a 12 gage frame on the 20 gage now...   I've been casually lookin for a small frame for quite some time and aint found one...  Havin said all that, there is basically no big difference in weight and handling between a twelve and a twenty gage, unless the barrels are a bit lighter...   leroy

  This is a great truth condensed into a very few sentences... The folks doin the shootin, the folks inciting the shootin, and those who live where the shootin is happenin better get a hold on this before it gets bad... There are people within the political class and the "black butt hurt plantation" cottage industry that need to understand that everybody bleeds; people are edgy, and that God alone is their (..and our...) protection, whether we acknowledge Him or not... They best stop stirring up these confabulations by rhetoric, actions, or the lack of actions; whatever they may be...  There are lots of places now that are powder kegs... Some parts of Texas and the blue workers paradises are particularly explosive...   Everybody needs to calm down or quit pushin... Ole Charlie Manson may have been right all along...   leroy

  This is the answer too...!   leroy

  This is the answer...!

It could be too heavy a crimp springing the case out just below the bullet; or incomplete initial resizing... I would take my dial vernier caliper or micrometer and see what is goin on... A Dillon case gage (...a real one..) would find it pretty quickly...   leroy

Just bookmarked it...   Thanks a bunch... leroy

  John...  We can agree on this one...   leroy

  RE:... This... "....I won't stick my head in the sand an hope for the best on any gun control, especially global gun control being written by the Socialists International and Communists at the UN...."      What are ya gonna do about it..?  The Constitution is the law of the land or it aint... If they decide to usurp it; the "wild west" happens... I simply dont think that will happen... They aint gonna take your guns unless you roll over and give them away... I wouldnt advise doin that; and i aint goin to... You can wring your hands about this all ya want to; but i dont think the backbone to do this sort of thing is available to these weenies... The gubmt couldnt (...wouldn't i think, they were afraid of a shoot out polarizing folks even more than they are now...) even face Cliven Bundy down...  With all due respect, i think this is still a tempest in a tea pot... Should we vote the socialists and rinos out..?  Yeah we should... Should we watch 'em...?  Yeah we should... Do i think they are commin to kick your door in and take your guns...?   No...   leroy 

This is a tempest in a tea pot... Everybody knows Kerry and Obama are tyrant wannabees... It's nothin more than red meat for the children... The UN aint gonna take anyones guns and international treaties do not trump the Constitution....   leroy

No one should pay any attention to what the Southern Poverty Law Center says anyway... They are no more trackers and objective evaluators of the beliefs of "groups" than i am a brain surgeon... They are a bunch of far left, racist jackasses formed up by a piece of lawyer trash named Morris Dees whose goal is the intimidation and smearing of people and groups they dont like (...which is most everybody who doesnt see things their way...)...    They are a smear machine for the black supremacists, the gubmt,  and the news apparatchiks who use them as handy "expert sources" to smear who and what they don't like...They evidently believe that it's still slave days and whitey is still busy persecuting the black slave population...   I say the hell with the Southern Poverty Law Center, the pimps that work there, and the trash that use them as sources...   hatin leroy
