  1. If you don't mind sharing K, are you armed when you do your running? This is a personal question, and you don't need to answer if it bothers you. Just curious. I have something to share with you if you don't go armed in the country. Your choice completely to share. Will not offend me if you don't.
  2. If the dogs are fenced in and not on the roadway, he is within the law. If the dogs are out running loose he is wrong. If he was out at 11;00 PM he was probably thinking something was after his livestock, if he has any, most likely. You have a right to go down the roadway, then again you must live there. You must try to resolve this issue as best as you can. You and him need to have another face to face and try to resolve this issue. He has no right to restrict your movement up and down the roadway. He very well may be trying to intimidate you into doing what HE wants. You got a big problem K. Just may need to daytime run to solve this issue. When chest get pushed out between 2 people, it needs to be resolved. Pushing the issue "POSSIBLY" could lead to real trouble.
  3. SG Ammo.com has the best prices I have found lately. Purchase the shipping Insurance. If gets lost in shipping, they will give you full refund. Anything over 200.00 free delivery.
  4. A 22LR revolver to start, for sure if it is a lady or young child. It simple and will introduce them to the noise and very slight recoil. Then head up the caliber range. Usually stay with the revolver platform in 38 Spl then go to Pistols starting with 9MM. Thats the way I fly. Have a young family I intend to teach to shoot, for the first time, with 3 young kids, 14, 12, and 8. Wife may take part also. Edited to add; if the want to go to rifle, then I go with an AR 15.
  5. I have pocket carried a 7 shot revolver for a long time. Have purchased a Ruger Max 9 that I carry to church when wearing trousers that print my revolver. If I go with larger round count I go with IWB S W MP 9C 2.0, but For 95% of the time it is the old-style revolver in the strong side pocket.
  6. Don't know you but welcome. Edited to add; From Middle TN.
  7. Been there for me although I never had the attack. I now have 9 stents in my veins and had double bypass. Dr Boyd is my Dr at St Thomas West. Like that Hospital, Dr's, and staff. At 76, with Agent Orange problems, I feel thankful just to be here. Prayers for you grunt67. Do the rehab.
  8. IMO you would be lucky to get the revolver for $200. That would be a bargain. I would say more like $350. to 450. this day in time. Just purchased a new in the box S W 686 + 3" and shelled out 999,00. The revolver is worth whatever you decide to pay for it. If you want it, purchase it and don't look back. IMO worth more than the 2 mark, but it is your "Lollie" at stake here.
  9. I make it a point to stay away from rallies and such. Leave the politics to the crazies. I just go vote and then let it go. I have friends who you can't mention politics, or that will be the subject for the next hour.
  10. Big K, not hard to believe. most investigators and insurance companies will look at your every action for the past few months. This is not the first time I have heard about USCCA denning coverage to their members. I am sure the teacher who did you Concealed Carry permit training told you about self-defense laws. Take a class, Noting wrong with training oneself. I do that every time I go to my firing range. Prosecutor could say I went to my range and practiced before I shot someone but wouldn't necessarily make it so. I try to go to my rang on a regular basis. Educate yourself all I am saying. I don't know about the lady your speaking of because we don't have all the facts, so it is hard to make a judgment in her case. I just hope and pray I never need to use S D for me or mine.
  11. I am a member of ACLDN and have been for years. It is NOT insurance but does have a review board. Massad Ayoob, Marty Hayes, John Farnum, Tom Givens, and a couple more are on the review board. These are some of the names of the most knowledgeable people in the Self Defense Field. These guys will do a review to make sure it is self-defense afterwards. Comes down to trust guys. I trust these men and this organization, Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network. Like crc 4 states, they all do it(some type of review). Now I don't know about Attorneys on Retainer, but I would need to know they, are highly skilled in self-defense law, and can defend a Self Defense (affirmative defense) case. IMO, I want the best attorney I can find in Self Defense cases. They are few and far between (good S D attorneys). I also agree with crc4 you must know your states, or the state where you are in, laws of self-defense in order to be sure your within your rights to legally use force.

    Talked to son in law this morning and he has already ordered a green laser and an IWB holster for the Hellcat. Told him I have a pocket holster for the Hellcat so he is bringing it over tonight to see if it will fit my DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster I have here at the house. I have my Ruger Max 9 in one we modified. I like pocket carry. If I go IWB I go bigger, MP 9C 2.0.
  13. We hired a couple men to come and cut about 4 miles of horse trails on my daughter's 89-acre farm. First guy had a work ethic problem. That might be an option for you if you just need a tad bit of cutting. The last guy we hired did superb work and was fairly reasonable for the amount of money he had tied up in the cutter and tracked skid steer. The last guy we got was out of Lebanon TN. The trails were really grown up and he had the grinder head that ground the trees and brush into chips. Said the cutter cost him 60,000. new and the Skid Steer was about 40,000 used. Plus, he had to have a dully truck and heavy trailer to be mobile with it. We paid him by the hour, and he produced good work. We cut 4 miles of trails, 10 feet wide, up and down hills, and it ended up costing my daughter about 6,000,00. I walked the trails and used surveyors' tape so he could follow it through the brush. Worked out really well for us. May be an option for you Darrell.
  14. Hang in there boatman. My left knee is not as good as what God gave me, but much better that all the pain with the old one. I will do it again when needed. My right knee is pretty bad but still responding to the shots every now and then. I don't think it will be long before I have to have it replaced. Go next week to get my left shoulder scoped because it is full of bone spurs, arthritis, and neve impingement, with a lot of pain in it. Just getting over Coved, and had to postpone the shoulder surgery. The coved was not as bad as the ear infection that came along with it. Still fighting the ear infection. I am on the second regiment of antibiotic, and it is slowly improving. As you know, gittin old is not for sissies. "Hang tuff boatman.

    Thanks for the well wishes guys. We had the party yesterday and SIL mother wondered about the box wrapped in pink that my daughter handed to him. He had a little sheepish grin on his face as he opened it. When he seen the Hellcat he instantly had a big rein on his face. The thing came with medium sized man purse bag, 4 mags and a Mag loader. He really liked the 10, 13, and two 15 round mags selection that came with it. I showed him how each size made a difference when drawing from a pocket. He was well pleased with the size also. He has semi large hands and the gun fit him much better than his Ruger LCP 9. He is a volunteer designated concealed carrier for his church. Later we were outside repairing my daughters truck, and were alone. He asked me if it was true that Cody suggested his mom wrap the package in pink paper. I told him Cody certainty did. "He said That little Sh__" then did a big belly laugh. His whole family was laughing when daughter brought the package to him wrapped in pink. His mother asked my daughter what we were doing. We all had a big laugh at her question, and she had a very puzzled look on her face until we explained what happened. It was all in fun and he went along. What good daddy's do ain't it.....

    Thanks for the replies and info. S I L will get it today. His 31 Y O son, who has "Downs Syndrome", wanted his mother to wrap the pistol box in pink paper. She did. His dad picks at Cody all the time. A little payback never hurts. His whole family will be here at 1:00 for lunch. BBQ and Fried Chicken, cheezie Mack n cheese, baked beans, salad ranch dressing, Coconut cream pie and B Day Cake, you know, Man food guys. My birthday today also, 76 today. Just never figured I would be here for this day. I am blessed by God. Bible says man's normal allotted days, baring accident or health, are three score and 10 (70 Years). Or if blessed four score (80 Y O). I AM TRAVELING BLESSED TIME GUYS. Jesus Christ is the way. (John 3:16-17) For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Life is good for me today. I have accomplished the things necessary to put myself into the position to be able to take advantage of God's saving grace, through faith, in His Son Jesus. Put simply, I am on the way to heaven, today. Can't wait to see Son In Laws face getting a 12" square Pink Box that he has no Idea what is in it. We goanna have a big laugh, together!

    The guy at Outpost said he has carried one for a long time and really liked it. The thing came with 4 magazines, 2 15 rounders, and can carry up to 16 rounds with the extended mags. Might be just a small amount larger than the Max 9 I have. I really like the Ruger I have.
  18. I was at Outpost Armory yesterday and did not have time to see if they had one of these lever guns. Walked by the lever gun case and they had several lever guns in stock.

    Took my daughter to Outpost Armory looking for a Ruger Max 9 for my son-in-law's birthday. They did not have one, so we ended up purchasing a Springfield Armory Hellcat 9 MM. Do any of you guys have any experience with a Hellcat? It and the Max 9 are similar in size and ease of carry.
  20. Going to Outpost Armory, in Murfreesboro, to get a Max 9 for my Son-in-law, with my daughter. She wants to get one for his birthday. I will see if they have this rifle because I will purchase it if they do. Love lever guns and 22 LR. Have a Henry 38Spl/357 Mag. It is the most favorite rifle I have left. Everyone wants me to get it out when they visit. The 22 would be a good addition.
  21. My daughter had 2 labs. A honey color and a Black one. they are trail dogs. The honey one goes on trail rides all the time. My daughter has a trail ride business. The Black one is a rescue and was raised in an apartment before surrender. He is not as good of a trail dog and the other one. My daughter likes them because they scar away animals, Deer Turkey Coons Bobcats Opossums), that if not chased off will spook the horses on the trail. She has close to 5 miles of trails on her 89 Acre farm in Eagleville TN. The black lab will not allow anyone to touch my Daughter. He is a great guard dog.
  22. I order from SG ammo most of the time. Recently had an incident with the last snow. Ordered 9MM from SG and it was set to be delivered on 1-17 and the big snow happened. UPS was supposed to deliver on that day. The tracker said ammo was here in town, but they were unable to deliver it due to weather. Waited two weeks after and still no ammo. I sent message to SG and they gave me a total refund but told me they would not be able to give me a total refund if I did not take the offer of delivery insurance upon purchasing again. Got home on Feb 16th and the original ammo order was delivered a month late. Turns out United Parcel Service was just backed up and took time to catch up the backlog. I did contact S G Ammo and paid for the original order of ammo. Was the right thing to do. Edited to add; S G Ammo charges tax now but no freight on over 200,00 orders.
  23. Do any of you stash loaded pistols and long guns around your house? We are empty nesters but do have a grandson who spends 4 nights a week with us. He has downs, but is very obedient. I have one in an entrance hall closet and one next to my lazy boy chair, in a magazine rack within arms-reach, in my den while watching TV. If I am dressed, I always have my EDC in my strong side pocket, but at times and after evening shower, I am in my bedclothes watching TV with Sweetie. I do not keep long guns out of the safe but do have a MINI 14 and 12 Ga Mossey riot gun fully loaded in my safe that is in the man cave, which is on the opposite end of the house from where we sleep. I would need prior warning to get one out safely. Do keep my EDC on the bedside nightstand and a 9 MM in the drawer. Wife's house her gun is in her Walkin closet in the master B R where we sleep. What are your thoughts on stashed handguns around the house? Edited for spelling.
  24. My wife and I got out for a little range time yesterday afternoon. I tried her out on an MP 9MM EZ and she could not rack the slide. Still taught her how to shoot my MP 9C 2.0 and let her run 30 rounds through it. She has a SW model 65 Ladysmith 3" she calls her house gun. Keeps it in her walk-in closet. I replaced it with my new SW 686 + which is a 7 shot instead of her 6 shot Ladysmith. She shot it well also. She was in favor of the switch. I figured they are both 3" brls and the same size however the 686 has one more round to use if needed. I am a fan of all the rounds one can manage. Why I like my MP's, as they are 15 rounds in the mag and one in the pipe. Came back in the house and had wife to read 4 stories, in a book, "Guns Save Lives" written by Robert A Waters, about actual home invasions. Tried to impress her when someone comes in your house, uninvited, and knowing your home, they are not coming for "tea and crumpets". The stories spoke for themselves. All 4 showed that rape is not about the sex totally. It is about total, sometimes/most times, brutal dominance with a capitol B. My intention was for working on her mindset. Every chance I get I take her out to my back yard range. We both need our practice as I see my skills diminishing with age. Hers seem to be getting better. Got some bad news. I tested positive for Coved yesterday. Am scheduled for shoulder surgery on Monday but will need to postpone and reschedule that. Not feeling too bad just a nagging hack and funny head. Not too much congestion, "Yet!" Did not take the last coved booster. Had the first 3 shots. Life happens guys. You guys have a blessed day.
