I, for one, am not a fan at all of all this. There's nothing wrong with staying small towns and rural. our great state is being ruined, and our politicians are doing all they can to hasten making our state like the the others. Really sad.

Went to the range Saturday and shot a few of my guns that I'd not shot yet. Both of my S&W Victory .22s shoot beautifully, with no issues. Also shot my Glock 45 for the first time. Ran 50 rounds though it flawlessly. I can see why everyone likes this gun.

Recently bought a G-45, and then found a sale on Pmags. Today I got around to loading the first one. For some reason I could only get 17 rounds into it, no matter how I tried, despite using a Maglula loader. FINALLY, I realized that they were 17 rounders. Lord, getting old has it's challenges.

No need to be so condescending. But then of course you are ever so much smarter than me, I'm sure. I said I took the vaccine and booster because I thought it was best for me, at my age and with my health. I just don't think it should be mandated for several reasons, not least of which it seems at least in some cases that it can be spread by a vaccinated person. Here's the link you wanted, at least one of them: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/10/us/covid-breakthrough-infections-vaccines.html Mind you, this is from a very liberal, woke organization, so if they are printing it, I would imagine the numbers are higher.

Seems like I'm reading and hearing about a lot of vaxed people getting Covid and many that die. Plus Im reading that vaxed folks can still spread it...I g9ot the Moderna and the booster, due to my age and health issues, but I'm really wondering about this whole issue. I also wear a mask inside places that require it, but Im reading much about how that might also be ineffective...I HATE that this whole issue has turned into a political thing, but come on, man. Where's the truth?

I just took an online Coursera course for work, Covid-19 Contact Tracing. One questions was: You just discovered in an interview that the contact was illegally in this country, what do you do? The answer I selected, Immediately terminate the interview and notify DHS of the contact's location, was somehow not the correct answer!

I'm in agreement. I stopped liking them because of him. I'm already a life member or Id probably cancel membership if i was paying yearly dues. I think they have done much for us, despite their wasteful suspending at the top.

When NY finally gets them, what do yall think will happen?> Will they reconstitute somewhere else, Texas maybe?

Yeah, this and many other things in today's society! Heck, even people from 20 years ago wouldn't believe it.

I retired from the military a long time ago, in 1993. Nearing the end of my second career, but I go to the store and buy 'retirement' tickets (lottery) every week, lol.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your recovery...

I voted for the Navy Vintage, but like Grunt67, I have a military (Retired USAF) plate.

Great explanation, and now that I read it, I remember reading it before. I like this. Do you think we will ever get to where we need to be here in Tennessee as regards gun laws>?

Can you please refresh my memory on what this means?

Its not just the distressed finish...the slide is different and the internals have been through the Sig Custom Works shop. The grip module is different and the trigger is an X-series. Here's a review: https://shoot-on.com/review-sig-sauers-new-p365xl-spectre/ Not trying to talk anyone into this gun, just saying I like mine alot. I think guns are kinda like vehicles in that everyone thinks theirs is best and others suck, lol.

I don't store a firearms in my car. Those days are long gone, if it was ever a good idea. If one obeys our stupid gun laws here, there are times when some folks temporarily leave a gun inside a car. I'm talking about attending events at venues that ban guns. Personally, I try very hard to just avoid these venues, but there are times...for example, the US Post Office. For those that might not think twice about carrying past a gun ban sign, there are certain places where doing so could cost you way more than your HCP. So what is one to do, be unarmed during the commute or temporarily leave a gun inside the locked vehicle? I have a lock box in my vehicle attached to a metal cable attached to my car for such an event. I know its not really secure, but I think it might slow down a thief long enough to deter a smash and grab. I wouldn't ever leave a gun in it for long.

While I agree with you that securing your firearms is a mater of personal responsibility, and one should be personally obligated to do so, I definitely do place the blame for theft on thieves, where it belongs. I don't leave my guns unsecured in my car, and I think its irresponsible to do so. I also keep the bulk of my guns at home security in safes, as well. Blaming the gun owner for theft kinda seems like blaming the girl that got raped on being attractive and wearing what society these days considers fashionable clothes...

Never watched much snow, but loved Norm. He’d been fighting cancer for 10 years.

I read a lot lately about guns being stolen out of police cars. I think as was said above, no one should keep a gun in a car. Thats one of the reasons i hate our laws that allow the gun ban signs...kinda makes you leave the gun behind...

I think both of mine are libs so didn't sign it, but I did write and ask them why.

Just did.

I hope its someone local. I like Dan Mandis and Pamela Furr. Whoever it is, I hope they keep Johnny B.

Anyone see the news segment this morning about this? It was something about a LEO's lawsuit against sig for her gun shooting here while it was in a holster in her purse. I've kinda been wanting one of these, but this concerns me.

Loved Tom T.

I thought Deer were herbivores.....wow
