Anybody got a line on where a fellow could get some .25 ACP brass? I switched to the .25 breech plug some years back on my muzzle loader, and my stash is getting low. I have had a backorder with Midway for the last three months.

So true, but then, that is what 2010 is for. Change the legislators if you want to change the law!

I keep an older Leupold scope cleaning cloth in the glove box for just such an occasion. If the nice officer ask me to remove and hand over my weapon, I ask him to place it between the gun and the paint. Have been stopped a few times, don't think a THP officer has ever asked me to produce the weapon, local officers nearly always do. I drive a lot, could teach the Defensive Driving Course. Some departments tell their officers to take possession, some do not. As long as they treat my weapon with respect, I do not have a problem with it, as the practice is per the code. More than likely it is more a "Better Safe than sorry" stance on the the Dept.'s part than a slap at the OP.

Hard as it is for any business to keep the lights on and the doors open in todays environment, giving a discount should always be applauded. When it goes to active duty service folk and to LEOs, that is simply a statement of respect for their service. A cyber tip of the hat to MissouriBullet for his actions.

Just heard that the called for vote regarding the "Opt Out" Resolution did NOT receive a second, and therefore died. Bartlett stayed the course, and it is still legal for HCP Holders to carry their weapons in the Parks controlled by Bartlett, as intended by the State Legislature.

Having worked, and spent some time in a number of "bars" over the years, I can count on one hand the number of actual "designated drivers" I have ever encountered. Establishments that serve alcohol for a living are interested in sales and profits. Remember the statement by our friend Adam Dread, about not wanting non-drinkers taking up seats in his bars? By their very existence, a "bar" hopes to pour as much hooch down the necks of their customers as possible. It is how they keep the lights on, and their payments made.

So, you are saying if you have under the NFPA regulated amount, stored correctly, and you have a fire, your insurance can deny coverage?

From the OP: Here is another view of that perspective from someone I respect: As this thread started with the reporting of thoughts generated by other than a member, retorts of the same ilk seem credible.

So noted, (picked it up form a notable Gun Quote site), properly chastised. What about the rest of them? And I replace that one with this from another wonderful socialist who was so concerned with his fellow mans individual liberty:

Back to point. Here is another great Socialist's thoughts on gun ownership: And another: Another vaunted opinion: And a couple of home grown ideas that match the above: Ideas somewhat different from those of our Founders. The proverbial camel's nose under the tent skirt will lead to the ultimate loss of all individual Rights, not just those associated with the 2nd Amendment. By definition, Socialist hate individual Rights.

So, under this interpretation, my farm will no longer need to be posted against hunting, simply my intention that my private property is off limits to the general public is enough so that I can call the Sheriff or the TWRA if someone is on my land without my written permission. And, if they are carrying a weapon of any type, they are now guiltily of criminal trespass, as I should be under no more restrictive legal requirement than a municipality? None of that silly every 100 yard posting requirement, no need to post the back side away from the road, my intent will be sufficient. I would suppose businesses and restaurants are covered the same?

When I get my paws on it, I will post to You Tube and put up a link.

Dr. P. Michael McCullough who was moderator of the event, offered to forward a copy of the video, but I have not received it yet. I dropped him a note today to see when it might be available.

It is about money, pure and simple. Anybody that makes a living selling alcohol to a driving public has no consideration for their safety.

Glen Caroline wore their hinneys out! Helmke offered up the same old tired, "more guns more death" without any data to back it up, gave the "can't we all just get along without guns" song and dance. Caroline did very well, his presentation was machine gun like,(excuse the play on words) he was prepared and spoke well. Kevin Teets laid Helmke low on Heller, did a superb job. Dread was ineffectual, tried to yuk it up, started his comments about how TN is the laughing stock of the US, what with it's Roadkill rule and allowing guns in bars. They allowed questions from the audience, I don't think Dread was prepped for that, he and I had a lengthy discussion about how if he wanted to have "bar" as a designation, would he be willing to pay the extra insurance to get that moniker. He made the statement that he did not want his bartenders having to frisk people for weapons, or ask for their permits. I suggested that would not be a good idea, the legal folks would not like it, the drunks either would, or take real offense. I asked him if he provided Breathalyzers upon patron exit? He allowed as to how he did not, I asked just how concerned he was for public safety. All in all I think the NRA side carried the night completely. The moderator from the college started off stating that the meeting was a Celebration of the 2nd Amendment, should have seen the look on Helmke's face!!

So you think not having a sign Posting against HCP carry is asking to loose business? Down in our neck of the woods it is just the opposite. They shoot 'em up quite steady and regular in the Gun Free Zones in Madison Co. Any HCP Holder that carries concealed in a Posted establishment is a jail term and big bucks, as well as loss of permit, waiting to happen. Legal or not, the intent of a posting would be a hard sell if one had to use his weapon in defense of his life. Personally, I do not frequent or give my money to establishment that post against HCP Carry. We even have a few Dr.'s offices here that have taken their signs down. Folks are getting the drift that a Posting is an advertisement to rob stress free. When they started hitting the beauty shops here, that woke some people up! Unemployment and crime rates tend to match each other, we have plenty of one, and way too much of the other, it is only going to get worse.

+1 Now that the questions are being directed at the Statist point of view, from the "little people", (those still working and contributing to fund the beast) which seems to not like the force feeding of Central Control, any questioning is racist, because it is all they have left. The veil which covered the radical agenda has been torn for those that have eyes to see, Van Jones and Cass Sunstein are laid bare. ACORN, the President's favorite sink hole for community organizing and receipt of our tax dollars has been outed as the corrupt and illegitimate organization that is has always been, their supporters running for cover, acting as if this is all news instead of common knowledge. Attributed to Admiral Yamamoto after Pearl Harbor: There is no actual cite for this statement having been made, rather it is found in his diary. What he is quoted as saying in The Reluctant Admiral: To the Cabinet of War he made this statement: Seems the Administration has studied some history, hence the rush to pass legislation and change the scope of our Government quickly "We must do it NOW". Maybe they should have done a little more research, and they would have found Yamamoto's most prophetic quote: Perhaps the same dog that scrambled out from under the porch in the 40's will awake and keep us from domination again? We shall see.

It is not a waste of your time, it is a page from the book that is to come. The one that will rule our lives as this mind set is fostered on us by the Rulers!

I believe that the lack of History taught in our schools is by design. If the general public is not aware that we are a nation that was formed via Revolution, the easier it is to control that population. Why promote ideas such as those espoused by Henry, Franklin and Washington? Calculus is great, but if the general population is unaware that the founders fought a war about tax rates far less than those imposed upon us today as a method of revenue leveling, what good is it? If we have created a country of sheeple that simply acquiesce to the demands of the 500+ that seek to rule, have we moved forward? If they do not understand that 50% of the population pays no taxes, relying on wealth redistribution to keep an electorate that lives to suckle at the tit of the dole satisfied, so that it constantly sends up the give-awayers to the Capital, how long can that Ponzi scheme endure? Trig is a wonderful skill, if you have something to do with it.

Do us (and you) a favor, take your classes and run a simple Civics test. Ask who was the first President of the US, how many Justices make up SCOTUS, who is the Chief Justice, what is the length of term for US Senators and Representatives, the line of succession for the Presidency? Add a few Geography questions, like what oceans bound the US. Just read a report for the same type questionnaire for Oklahoma high schoolers, and less than 50% could answer any of those questions. I would surmise that TN students in our public school system would do no better. http://www.news9.com/global/story.asp?s=11141949 Sad thing is, 75% could not pass a Citizenship test. I am not shooting from the hip as a detractor of your Profession, I taught chemistry, physics and upper division math for a few years back in the late 70's till the lack of discipline that was becoming rife forced me back into the construction industry, where I simply faced grown men with hammers and crowbars in their hands, not lawyer protected thugs who can score 30 points in a basketball game, but could not read as seniors, or care less about that lack. My family has been in Education for generations, Grandmother taught in a one room school house in NW TN, my mother was Tennessee Teacher of the year in the '80's, so I have some knowledge of the situation. The Progressives have systematically affected a "dumbing down" of our children with respect to history, I would hazard a guess that not one of your students would have a clue as to who George Mason was.

I was in the heat of running a business and raising a family. I saw Carter's actions gut the TN economy, raise interest rates to ridiculous levels, and kill the local agricultural economy. At that time I was a Democrat, Carter is what changed that!

And so it eases into our society. From the Opinion Page of the Jackson Sun: Windwood Hills deer season set | jacksonsun.com |

I would think now is the time to be contacting State Legislators, let them know where you stand, have them prepped for a return to Session in January.

If the Good Lord lets me live that long, I will be there. I graduated from UTM, and have supported them financially since then. But, if "Bowling for Columbine", Paul Helmke and Adam Dread are to be celebrated on campus, I am done in every way with them!
