He was specifically referring to transactions between family, not backgrounds checks overall.  He would never admit the Background Checks overall are bad.

I have a Browning Cynery Euro, Ruger Red Label, and Beretta White Onyx.  I like all three, but the Browning fits me the best and I find that it "points" the most natural for me.  For that amount of money I would avoid the Red Label purely due to weight.  It is built well, but you feel it when carrying it a while.  The Beretta is very nice as well, close to the Browning, but not quite as good for me.    The Citori's are great guns.  I liked the more modern looking Cynergy Euro (although I know some think it strays too far from the classic look).  I agree also that the CZ (Huglu makes it) is a nice gun, but not up to the fit and finish of the Browning or Beretta in my opinion.     I would think you have some some nice guns stores in your area.  Go hold a few and see which wants "points" naturally when you bring it to your shoulder.  That is the one I would go with.  Once you know which one fits you the best, decide if new or used is best for you.     Good luck with your search.

  That would be cool.  Prefer Multi marking vs 5.56, but that's not a big deal.  Like the idea of matching lowers though (I realize it isn't in the plans for now)

I will take two.  Consecutive serials would be good.  

This is a good article that test's many solutions.  He explains some of the chemistry.     http://www.6mmbr.com/ultrasonic.html

I got rid of Facebook or I would comment on their page as well.  I agree, it probably has more impact on them than an email or phone call, but I can't go along with Facebook's privacy policies.  I'm glad it is working though!

I am with DLM, unless you want it today, I would go to BrianEnos.com.   That said, I also use a Hornday LNL AP and am happy with it.  I have friends with the Dillon and they are happy with it.  They each have pro's/con's. 

I have written them both.  Corkers' contact page isn't working right now, but you can bet I will keep on it.  They both lost my vote although I don't think Alexander will run again anyway.

Anyone who lives around Franklin use a cleaning service that they would recommend?  I want someone to come in every couple of weeks and do a good cleaning at my house.  I am really looking for a recommendation as I don't just want to call someone from the phone book.   Anyone who uses someone good, please let me know.   Thanks, Jamie

Got what I needed.  Thanks!   I am going to be buying a new tablesaw and could use a coupon.  I don't get a lot of woodworking magazines anymore, but I know woodworker's journal sometimes has one.  Anyone who has one and isn't going to use, I would be appreciative if you would allow me to use it.   PM me if you have one please. Thanks, Jamie

Congrats.

Just as a general comparison, a Red Ryder only has a muzzle velocity of around 250-350fps, so it still wouldn't be a firearm by that definition.  Not that it makes it right, just that I don't think it can stand up in court under that law unless it is some enhanced bb gun.

Spanking isn't assault.  If spanking was assault, mine as well as most other parents of our day (I am 37) would be behind bars.  I don't condone hitting kids, but a few more spankings won't hurt a single one.  Felony charges are stupid for sure.  Make the kid stand it front of the room and apologize.  That will teach him more than some court room case where he understands nothing.  I agree, it sounds like the parents were on top of it, but they will learn from this too.  

Makes you wonder if he was a cop?  Maybe not his service weapon, but a personal one?   :ugh:   Nothing like starting a rumor  :pleased:

Makes it hard sometimes to keep defending some people. If you can't figure out your gun is loaded before cleaning it, you probably don't need a gun.  He was probably wiping the outside down and not actually cleaning it, but still, how much effort does it take to clear it before wiping it down. I don't even know why I am surprised anymore.   After reading more posts, I agree, "cleaning" was probably easier than explaining he was playing Duck Hunt with it.

You can get 12 gauge in Middle TN pretty easily.  I bought a couple hundred rounds each of field loads in 20 and 12 at the Walmart in Franklin a couple of weeks ago.  Academy in Franklin has a large selection of 12's as well. 

Wow, glad you are ok.  I know two families that have had family die in rear end collisions similar to that.  Thank goodness for improved engineering over the years.  

Nice Bird.  

Yeah, I expected a less successful day, but can't complain, especially considering I forgot my call at home.  Maybe that is telling me something.  I think it also helps that there aren't many hunters around my buddies land.  After we shot our two, the other two just stood there like they didn't know what happened.  We could have easily had two more.   The only thing that would have topped this was the coyote that came in right after we shot them.  He got to about 70 yards from us, but all we had was our shotguns.  He got a whiff of us and took off.  We were really waiting for him to get within shooting distance, but no such luck.

I just eat the breast on wild turkey's.  I have the breast brining today and will smoke it tomorrow for dinner. 

Had a great opening day this morning. In the woods and setup around 6:15 and heard quite a bit of gobbling. Watched a couple about 200 yards off and then later here comes a group of 4 Gobblers. Once they spotted my decoy, they attacked it like no ones business. Me and my buddy were in our blind and both took one at 15-20yds at the same time. They were each around 16-18lbs. Mine had 1" Spurs and 9" beard. His had 1-1/8 Spurs and 9.5" beard. Leaving the property by 9:00 and back home and cleaned up by 10:30. Not a bad morning.

  It wouldn't have mattered if it was baby because you are inferring that he was responsible for "control" of the dog.  We don't know who was in "control" of the dog before this happened, but boy is it nice to say it was him to fulfill our desire of him as the Devil.  The fact is, it wasn't a baby, so making up "what if" scenario's make you no better than the Dem's "what if" scenario's.  In either one a life could be lost, so which is worse, you making up what if's or them?  I realize no matter what I say that most in this forum hate him because he has a vastly different opinion about guns.  Again, I disagree with him on that, but I am not going to hang him on this.   It's easy to crucify someone when it fits your prerogative.  It's a lot harder to show empathy for someone you vehemently disagree with on a specific topic when I am sure he wouldn't have wanted this to happen anymore than you.  We can agree to disagree on this, that's ok.  I am not trying to convince anyone as you won't me, but I just have a different opinion on this specific issue.

  I agree with you, but I think it's fair to say "He" didn't lose control of the dog.  If anything, he was the one who actually helped get the dog off of the seal.  Again, I don't have to agree with his politics, but I don't think "He" did anything wrong other than try to probably protect his kid which again I think most would do, public figure or not.

  That sounds good, just hope it isn't my dog. That may seem extreme, but my dog is more important than a seal.  If it was attacking a person ok, but not a seal. 

I may not like his politics, and it's unfortunate that the seal was killed, but I won't hold this against him.  It was apparently his daughter who didn't control the dog and I suspect most parents would probably try to cover for their kid in a similar situation.  Granted he is a public figure so he should know this was going to get out, but I think natural instinct is to protect your family, literally or figuratively.   If it was my or your dog, you would have never seen this.  I am guessing most people here have done or been in situations they aren't proud of.  I suspect he isn't proud of this either.  Just because we have a differing opinion doesn't make him the devil.  Wishing him dead is over the top for me.  We can and should do better.
