Thanks bobsguns. (what he said) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ political gamesmanship. you won't approve that, how about this?

are you in same district as Cookville?

I am shocked. My rep doesn't know what the ATFE is! Seriously, after our Christmas bombing in Nashville, who in the US of A does not know what ATF is? I am going to have a serious talk with his man. He did inform me that he didn't know wha letter I was speaking of so maybe not everyone was party to it. TO Charlie Buam's credit, he did say he would probably support it. He has been pro gun so far.

just emailed my elected officials whose signatures were both absent. It should be noted that even Chipmonk said it is Congress who make the rules, and definitions ARE rules.

yeah they keep shuffling them around, annoying!

Gorgeous SA! had to giggle at not into cowboy guns but will trade for lever action. And I'm "watching GRIT" right now. LOL

Congrats on the new one. U have a Taurus 945 with a light rail, agree it messes with the look,

This is a great idea. WELCOME all new members!

The only arm I've ever heard of that fired on it's own. with only one available in .45 I have nothing to worry about except someone else's. Kinda hard to defend against that.

That is much better! Just getting rid of the weird stock made a big difference.

but not nearly as much fun!

I agree, so just keep looking! depends on what I want to do. if there was one be-all-do-all I'd probably hate it.

but it was a dry heat right?

At this point it will come down to the local DA. 20 some odd years ago the local news did a report on concealed carry. this was before we had shall issue laws. the DAs of middle TN all said they would not prosecute someone for unlawful carry if they had been involved in a justifiable self defense shooting. my how times change.

make it three. and I have to renew my TGO membership!

Dr Ulm did my neck. He and his staff were great.

ah yes, I remember it not so well. Being a smoker, my insurance paid for a bone growth simulator. I still have it if you and your surgeon would like you o have it.

I pray for your speedy recovery. Had his same procedure done a few years back. sill have some stiffness and pain but nothing like before. My voice changed some, of course I smoke so ha didn't help there. Did they send you home with one of the bone growth stimulating collars?

You are quite correct in your assessment. However, I keep myself abreast of where I cannot carry and I don't put myself in position of being searched legally. I have been carrying without a permit for over 30 years so that should tell you something. Years back, everyone in the Sherriff's office and half of the city police force knew I was armed. I've only been challenged twice, once and undercover "bump frisked" me in Kroger at 6:00 AM and the judge in my divorce/child support case told me I had to sell my firearms. The undercover just wanted to make sure I wasn't shoplifting I'm sure as he kept walking and never said a word. I called the judge's bluff and told her she didn't have that authority in open court. She didn't like it but she knew I was correct. If you mind your manners and know your rights you won't have a problem.

had a co-worker ask me if I carried "that thing" all the time. I told him there was one sure way to find out...he said he didn't want to know LOL

I searched last night and these are available for around $40. found them in tungsten and stainless from Amazon and the Knife Center. WWII models around $200 on ebey

I've never seen one before. I like it very much and will have to find one myself.

LOL, taken a turn, I see what you did there! I had a company truck that would run well over the speed limit once. I drove it all over the state. 3500 Chevy cut van with oversize Knapheid closed service body. That thing sold me on LS engines. For really weird, I had an old Eldorado years ago that would only start with the door open if it was raining. Never did figure that one out. My guess is it had a poor ground somewhere.

I have myself for many years. I am not a criminal, not in the least. Not to throw shade on anyone who has a permit, I believe having one MYSELF would make me complicit, I don't wish to project this on anyone as it is my PERSONAL protest and I understand others who do have permits. My sister has her CCW and I am proud of her for taking that step. Below are why I do not have a CCW and I hope we get back to true constitutional carry soon, #1. Federal courts have ruled that you cannot attach a test or fee to any constitutionally guaranteed right. the current and all prior versions on CCW permits have done both, #2. Free men are not bound by unjust laws. the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed is perfectly clear. It is very true as we know that criminals by definition do not obey the law. Why should we be hamstrung in our effort to protect ourselves? The clown in chief says we need tanks and F16s to fight our own government if it comes to that. I say well,,,shall not be infringed and he don't know me vewy well do he?

can't say enough negative things about this elitist moron.
