So here's the deal... my wife and I have watched this show religiously since it first aired.  Every single episode.  She knows them better than I do and can recall facts about past episodes that leave me Googling to see if she's right.  I don't know why I bother; she always is.  It's her gift I guess.  It's also why I can't get away with jack squeeze around the house.  Memory for trivial things like an elephant on a steady ginseng diet.  But I digress.   The point for all of that is just to say we've been along for the whole ride.  But the amount of hype leading up to the mid-season premiere left us scratching our collective head wondering what in the world people were smoking.  Phrases like "whole new show" and "game changing" and "completely different" were thrown around in the reviews by people who had pre-screened it.  But seriously... WHY?   It was the same old same old.  Sure it was a little artsy and there were cute little bits of symbolism here and there (all of the broken clocks, for example) but nothing about this week's episode really seemed to put the show on a different course other than the fact that they are finally leaving Georgia.   Did we miss something?

"WE NEED MORE LAWS!!!" --No One, Ever

  I kicked that idea around a few years ago, started organizing it, then it went to crap when people started fighting over the barrel.  In my mind, if I was going to go through the hassle of ordering a TGO barrel, I was going to keep the TGO barrel since I founded the damn place.  Hell I was up for a case or two of the resulting Single Barrel all by myself.   :lol:   Maybe one of these days.

I've got some of that in the collection here as well. Very good stuff. One of the best tasting ryes that I have had.

  Even with construction, my commute to Nashville from southern Williamson Co. is still 50-75% shorter in terms of time than it was on I-24.  On weekends, the construction causes zero issue for us getting up to Cool Springs to shop or dine.   I hear that I-40 east of town is getting bad for traffic in the mornings too, which would strike Mt. Juliet off my list.   Further, I have friends in Mt. Juliet who say that traffic around Providence is so bad now on the weekends that they try to find places away from there to shop and eat.  I don't think Mt. Juliet planned near well enough for the explosive growth that they have experienced.

  Or just south of Nolensville heading toward 840 on Nolensville Rd.  There are some really nice areas down there, and affordable.  Also College Grove is nice and quiet and close to all of this stuff.

Based on what you described you likely want to live southwest of town within 10 miles (east or west) of the I-65 corridor, likely south of 840. That will put you... 1. Close to Spring Hill 2. Close to Owl Hollow / CHMR outdoor range 3. Close to Strategic Edge in Chapel Hill 4. Close to Cool Springs for shopping, dining 5. Quick access to SR-840 to hit Rutherford Co if needed Basically somewhere in this area: Or you might try Fairview which is still reasonably close to Spring Hill thanks to SR-840, but further away from all of the other things I listed.

  If she has vector-based, print-ready artwork, there are dozens of places to get them made.  I am slowly moving more stuff over to Sticker Giant.

If you're a stranger and you approach me in a parking lot, you're not going to get close enough to put your arm around my neck if I see you first.  If you catch me unaware and do it, you're probably going to get your ass kicked.  Hard.  We can sort out that you love me for being an NRA member after you pick your teeth up.   This is how people get mugged, or worse.  Don't ever let some stranger who appears friendly put their hands on you.  You forfeit too much control of what happens next when a person gets that close or has their hands on you.  Period.  Friendly appearing or not.

Comp-Tac pretty much started the mass-produced hybrid holster business.  The MTAC is on a completely different plane of existence from the Alien Gear, Cross Breed, and other such pretenders to the throne.  The very FIRST guy (as far as I am aware) to marry Kydex and leather is Rob Tucker over at Tucker Gun Leather.  I may be imagining this but I want to say that he and the guys at Comp-Tac may have gotten together somewhat to result in the MTAC stuff.  Again, I may just be crossing some stories there but they're both based out of Texas so maybe it's not just the bourbon talking.   As for cheap holsters, I own two Alien Gear holsters after deciding to try them out this past Christmas.  Both are the Cloak 2.0 model and my wife uses one of them for her own IWB carry.  She likes hers just fine, I am not so impressed -- but it's ok for what it is.  Definitely not the same quality as a Comp-Tac.   If I was going to stuff a gun into the less than ideal environment of a car (temperature extremes, humidity extremes, neglected for long periods of time) I would probably go with either a solid Kydex holster like those made by Raven Concealment, or a full-on synthetic hybrid holster like the Alien Gear Cloak 2.0.  I would also use a safe of some sort rather than just toss it under the seat where anyone who gains access to my vehicle would have instant access to a firearm.

I usually add a few days anytime someone asks about them.  ;)   The latest batch went into the mail today.  I was delayed with other activities and hadn't made it to the PO to pick up stamps.

  If it were a zombie... we'd have to draw straws and see who has to shoot your bit self.  :)

  Dude... it's still there.  It is just a sub-forum of the General Chat forum.  Clearly visible on the forums list.  :)   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/forum/59-zombie-apocalypse/

  Around here, they seldom are.  Other than for reloading supplies, gun shows hold little value to me any longer.  The last one I went to was the Guns & Gear Expo that Joe and I produced a few years ago.   Gun Broker and web sites like it have pretty much run the death knell for the smaller gun shows.  The only one that holds any attraction for me now is to at least once visit Wanenmacher's Tulsa Arms Show.

I removed it.  Byedan just needs to leave positive feedback for you now.

I have had a Pandora One subscription for about two years now.  Love it.

It'll be alright.  :)

  Actually... I probably would.  Kimber quality isn't what most folks think it is, and the Remington is a more "true" 1911 than the SW1911 if you're into the whole internal vs. external extractor debate.  If I were in the mood for a good 1911 at a reasonable price, I'd take a hard look at the Remington.   I'd also look at the Ruger 1911s.

Where are you hanging out that you haven't heard much good about Remington lately?

  Look, what I am seeing here is failure to comprehend what was written so let's take this from another angle:   SHOW ME WHERE HE INSULTED YOU.   I've read it several times and nowhere in there does he make a statement that seems like it was designed to insult or offend you.  I see a point where he makes the statement "If you do not have at least five meetings scheduled with legislators at LP tomorrow, you are talking, not doing." but in this case the word YOU seems to be used in the first-person.  That is the only area what I see what what he said might be misconstrued, and even that shouldn't trip up anyone who has ever written a first-person narrative before.   So back to my last challenge, show me where he insulted you in his post.  I maintain that you completely misunderstood the point of his post the same way you went straight to a literal interpretation of my statement about being slapped with a glove.   While you're doing that, I can show you where what YOU (not used in the first-person, mind you) absolutely intended to offend him with your response.  Hell, it offended me for him.

  I think you REALLY missed the point of his post.  What I got from it is it's a tiring, grueling, thankless task where you are up against overwhelming odds all the time.  Maybe you missed the part where he said he does this using time-off from work when his family would rather they be taking vacations.   Honestly, very rarely do I read things on TGO that make me wish we were still in an age where we could remove a glove, slap another man across the face with it, and demand that an apology be issued for their transgression.   You unlocked that achievement with that post.

It's very unAmerican not to own a 1911.  Congratulations on joining the Society of 1911 Owners.  :)
