  1. I, too, have a number of arms in the safe that have been fired very little, and a few that haven't been fired at all. Like a lot of guys on here I just find it hard to resist adding one. But I tend to be a buyer, not a seller. The guys that I've transacted with from TGO have all, without exception, been on the up-and-up, and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with any of them again. But of course it's always important to check out what you're buying and satisfy yourself that the deal is fair.
  2. It seems that a fairly large percentage of neighborhood disputes involve dogs, and trying to discuss barking or aggressive dogs often results in hard feelings. We live in a time where people have trouble taking responsibility.
  3. I'm not seeing the problem there.....
  4. Assuming that you're walking on a public road, you have every right to do so. YOU are not waking the man, his uncontrolled dogs are. I find it incredible that the police told you not to walk on the road. Whomever told you that just doesn't want to deal with the situation. You might consider wearing a body cam and getting the neighbor on video. You might also consider speaking with an attorney. What a rotten situation! Good luck. Added by edit: My initial assumption was that your neighbor was carrying a rifle as a way to intimidate you, which is illegal. But it's possible that he was carrying his rifle because he didn't know what was riling his dogs, not as a means to intimidate you. When I go outside to investigate a noise or something, I am always armed, though not always visibly.
  5. Off-topic, but I've made the same comment about motorcycle dealerships. I worked for the Navy, and young sailors would come off a deployment with a sack full of money, go to the MC shop, and ride off on a bike that they had no business on.
  6. I bought an Ruger LCP in .380 for the boss, and she was comfortable shooting it but was unable to rack the slide reliably. I ended up buying a LCR in 357 Mag, which she's just as comfortable shooting (loaded with 38 SPL). She wasn't going to be swapping mags in a fire fight anyway, so the wheel gun was better for her.
  7. Never met you, but howdy just the same.
  8. Thank you! My resolve was weakening by the minute!
  9. Man! I hope I'm never too old to ride! If you can toss a leg over it, you can ride it.
  10. Do you travel west of Knoxville? I'd be interested if you do.
  11. Yeah, 9mm brass can be picked up at the range pretty easily, and you won't get much for it unless you process it first. I think it would be pretty easy to sell, cheap, on this forum if you were in Tennessee. There are surely quite a few members in the Memphis area. Maybe try an ad in the classifieds here? If you just want to be rid of it, but don't want to throw it away, you can take it to a local range and leave it with a "free" sign on it. Or check around to see if there's another recycler near you who might buy it for scrap.
  12. It's still not clear DeepSouth. Are you giving it away? Do you want to sell it? Are you just asking for comment? I was surprised that a recycler wouldn't take it. Maybe post it on LSN or Craigslist and a local reloader may want it.
  13. I checked into that and in the end I think it makes more sense for me to own my own machine and heavy brush cutter. The forestry mulchers that you describe are REALLY expensive. I can rent one on a skid-steer for about $3500 a week, but the machines burn 20 gallons of diesel a day, so add $80 of fuel x 7 days for another $500 plus another $500 for delivery. And then I would have to work at it for 8 hours a day to feel like I'm getting my money's worth on the rental. And I'd have to go to town every other day for diesel. You're right, I think, that the rate those guys charge is pretty fair considering the cost of the machines, cost of maintenance, and cost of fuel, plus a fair wage for the operator. I'm one of those who has more time than money, though, and I enjoy working with machinery to boot. I have 20 acres, and I'd like to take the underbrush out of almost all of it, so it's not going to be a job that's done in a day or two.
