I just looked up Crossville and Ruby Tuesday in town is posted. I have not been in there in a while, but I never noticed any signs before. I may have to swing by tomorrow and check the door and see if they posted since January when I was in last.

They lost me at 51 states...
They threw in the district of Columbia, which is already populated with zombies. I guess they should have been #1 since they have been surviving all these years.- 2

What the people who support her (and any other slanted politician left or right) fail to realize is that the constitution exists for a REASON and that is to protect the minority from the majority and to limit government. We are slipping further and further away from a republic into a pure democracy and too many people are supporting that idea.
Without doing exhaustive research I'm not sure how to do this, but I think the US Military should have a "trigger" provision/responsibility attached to it that, if the legislative, judicial, of other portions of the executive do something or try to do something that is constitutionally illegal, and the justice department fails to act or is complicit, that the military will move in and stop that act/prevent it. By doing this, it removes the teeth from the government to conduct illegal activities.
Yeah, I know (and agree) that the military is to be kept in strict subordination to civilian authority, AS LONG AS, the civilian authority follows the rules.
The problem is that the courts uphold many of the laws that the politicians come up with, and that makes them, in their eyes constitutional. What we don't need is a military leadership that then gets to decide what is constitutional and what is not. then you end up with a dictatorship. We need the laws changed so that the supreme court justices are elected by the people and not the president. That would at least give us some of the power back to have the laws decided by justices who are put in place by the people. -
First I've heard of it too:
"SB 1774
Tennessee Senate Bill
Firearms and Ammunition - As introduced, creates an exception to the offense of carrying a firearm in public without a handgun carry permit that the person is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm and is carrying the firearm in a privately-owned motor vehicle. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13."
- OS
The only problem I see is the way it reads in oh Shoots post, it says not otherwise prohibited from carrying. I can see anti gun cities claiming someone under 21 is prohibited from carrying a weapon and trying to ban them from doing so.- 1

Well I was about to buy the 380 and I saw a S&W 642 J frame. I am a wheel gun lover so I ended up getting the Smith J frame. I also bought a galco IWB holster and a box of critical defense 38+P for it. I know I may have been better off with a semi auto due to the number of rounds, but 5 will have to do, and I may purchase a speed loader or two. Can't deny my love for wheel guns no matter how out of date they may be.
Thanks for the advice wileecoyote, I saw it after my purchase as my internet was down. The PK380 actually felt good in my hand, and I have large hands, but the wheelgun won out anyways. I do see some of your points about the 380, although I am used to the push down magazine release as it is on the P22 also. -
Well I am considering changing to a Walther PK380 for my carry gun. I am downsizing from a 45 and already own a P22, and really like the
Walther. I want to drop down to the 380 as I need something small and gentler to my repaired shoulders. I was wondering if anyone had a PK380 and what they thought of it.
Thanks -
Too cold my butt, My dad died in January and we had to bury him on a holiday as well. Because of the holiday there was no rifle team available for the VA cemetery, but two soldiers showed up and they did their jobs perfectly and the flag was properly folded and they acted with complete professionalism. With all the stupid things soldiers have gotten themselves in trouble for, because they decided to share pictures of them doing it. Why have they not learned to keep this garbage to themselves.

I can't remember if it was Gibson that used to have a finishing store in the old Opry mills mall before the flood. Me and the wife stopped in and she was holding a mandolin she liked for 100 dollars, or so she thought. I looked at the price then carefully took it away from her and gently hung it back up. She seemed to have missed 2 zeros, and they weren't after the dot. I was sweating while hanging up a beautiful 10,000 dollar mandolin. I did not even know their was instruments that high in price on display for everyone to touch.

His body still has to take the impact of stopping the bullet, and that isn't a real joy I am sure. Try and raid my home even though I am not a prepper, and lets see how your head feels after I bounce several rounds off your super fantastic magical body armour.

Should have hit him in the head, except it probably wouldn't have hit anything vital.

Yes I am a former Yankee, but I moved here to get away from the cold. My wife on the other hand is an original Tennessee, and she has been complaining for years that they don't get the cold and snow here like they used to years ago. She complains that they used to ski on renegade mountain, but not in many years because the area doesn't get the winters like it used to. So don't blame the Yankees, blame my native Tennessee wife.

I live three miles from this school (south elementary), and it is a traffic nightmare. They just widened the road and you can see cars are still backed up on the shoulder waiting to get in. Now if when the busses pull out and they let the parents pick up there kids, would think that it would be more dangerous as cars are now pulling in and out around each other. Seems that when the busses are there less traffic is moving to endanger the kids. Also if they are worried about the kids wandering around in traffic by themselves they would be happy that their father is there to escort them safely out.

Trust me it is no better on the water. Small pleasure boats driven by weekend admirals have no idea that a tug boat pushing a 500 foot barge will mow them down and suffer only scratched paint. I always get amazed when I am on the bow running the bow thruster, at the stupid people in pleasure boats. I had to get a license to drive and I had to get a license to fly a plane. But if you have the money you can be the admiral of your own boat, no matter how stupid you are.

I don't drive fast anymore and I have never had a issue with someone getting mad an me for driving 10 mph under the posted speed limits on 4 lane highways and I do drive the posted speed on all two lane streets. Taking into consideration that it took place in Michigan is not surprising since I have found that most people up there are always in a hurry to get somewhere and are somewhat rude drivers in many cases but not all times. the deaths are a shame for dying for such a stupid reason if just road rage was actually the reason. It could be a lot more to it and that still might come out. It could have been something that took place between these two people prior to that morning.....jmho
Being from Michigan originally I have to agree that people up there are in a hurry to get nowhere. But I am finding it happening a lot around here now as well, and these are locals not transplants. I get tail gated constantly by people with rebel flags and rebel license plates on their cars. The posted speed limits around here are a joke and people drive so fast on the country road I live on, that I am afraid to check my mail box on the shoulder of the road when cars are going by. I moved down here to get away from the stupidity of the north and seems that stupid is a universal thing.

doubt it will cause any gun deaths or save anyone from a gun death
It will never be reported that a legal gun owner saved his life with a gun. But I suspect many gang related killings will be blamed on legal gun ownership, at least by the mayors police force.

Mixed income housing, Section 8, the projects, etc. has never and will never work. Now your government is dead set on spreading the crime, gang-bangers and riff raft to an area near you. Due to the human nature of lazy people on the dole not wanting to earn their keep, this social experiment will keep quoting Einstein ( Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results).
It is immoral to take from the well being of my family by force and squander it to ungrateful lazy people by the force of the politicians choice and taxes and law.
I worked 44 years and paid plenty into my Federal retirement and it's officially called "a benefit". If you receive welfare, public housing, food stamps, WIC, etc., it officially called an entitlement? Is that mincing words?
Nothing I like better than watching the 9 out of 10 morbidly obese people slowing me up in the grocery line with their empty debit card accounts, with a counter full of twinkies, chips and soda. Hop into their new vehicle and drive across the street to the liquor store and buy booze and lottery tickets.
Who was it here anyway that got me on this rant? :rofl:
O.K. I agree with your point until you picked on obese people. I am obese, have been my whole life, I also work like a dog and make darn good money doing it. You must be the guy who always wants to get in my space as I am trying to check out at the grocery store because you can't wait 2 minutes for the cashier to hand me my receipt.

Isn't New Fallujah a suburb of Detroit?
It's called Dearborn :pleased:

:-). Now, you mention the mob turning violent, that is a different story. But yes, I think we will have to agree to disagree. I have no problem calling them rioters, but I cannot justifiably call them terrorists unless they start committing atrocities against the innocent.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HDBut once you are trapped between vehicles and have no way out, if the crowd turns violent it is to late. The cops aren't going to do anything to stop the gathering as it would be a violation of some jerks civil liberties or something. Me and my family should not be put into a situation where we are now at the mercy of a people who may suddenly turn violent, and there is that faction in everyone of these crowds. just ask the trucker who got stopped in California after the Rodney king ordeal. I am sure he felt for the poor demonstrating people as they dragged him out of his truck and beat the crap out of him. My family SHOULD NOT have to be put into that situation because a bunch of bleeding heart idiots want to cause trouble.

Crossville is a nice town and we do have a gun club. We have a 300 yard rifle range, pistol range and a really good trap and skeet range. If you like to golf you can check out Fairfield glade community which is still part of Cumberland county (Crossville). There is also Anderson shuttle service to get to either Knoxville or Nashville airports. He charges 110 to Nashville and around 100 to Knoxville.

When I was a kid the neighborhood would have been locked down and martial law declared, what with all us kids pointing are fingers at each other and yelling bang, stupid people have taken over this country. One thing though, I carry a 45 and it goes bang, must be a 9mm that goes choo. :pleased:

Please tell me this was not Crossville, TN. And tankerhc the others may not know who Stephanie powers is, but I do, oh yeah.

My hat is off to magpul for even thinking of the idea. I wish companies like this would move to Tennessee and set up shop. I can't believe colorado would pass such stupid laws as that area of the country is so popular with shooting and hunting. I guess stupid just can't be fixed.

Even though I am a Christian I don't care if a gay couple gets married, I don't approve of it but it is not my marriage. What I would like to know however is are they going to provide protection to churches so they can not be sued when they refuse to marry same sex couples. Just because the government says it is o.k. it is still against are beliefs and should not be forced on us.

Yep just ate at Ruby Tuesdays in Crossville yesterday and although the site says it is posted, I did not see a single sign.
