  1. Cut the cable (directv) in April and don't miss it one bit. I put up an HD antenna and subscribe to Amazon prime, Netflix and Slingtv. Only thing I miss is dvr and have been thinking about the CM to fix that. Like LawVol said, I spend way less time watching stupid stuff. If you're thinking about it do it. I figured I'm saving around $1200-$1500 a year. I can purchase the content I want and still come out way ahead.
  2. Melson? Or last actual non "acting" head, Truscott? Couldn't find any NFL connection with either?

    If he did, he's an idiot.  You will not make that kind of money working for the Government, above the table...

    The director that just resigned, B Todd Jones.  He was hired by the NFL to be in charge of player discipline.  http://nypost.com/2015/03/22/nfl-tabs-atf-chief-to-oversee-player-discipline/

  3. Passware Kit can crack it in no time but if you don't have it, a license is rather expensive.  A single license is around $1000 but you may be able to do it with a downloaded demo.  This will require you to either put the mac in target disk mode or remove the hard drive and dock it externally.   

  4. I'm about to remodel my gun safe to maximize storage capacity, replace some sagging MDF and add some lighting.  I'm going to take out all the shelving and start from scratch.  I just plan to use plywood.  Since I store all but a couple long guns in silicone socks I don't plan to cover the wood with carpet or anything.  I may sand and spray some poly on the wood but that's about it.  Just curious if any one here has done this and has any suggestions regarding materials, layout, etc.  It's a 24 gun safe.  

  5. I was under the impression that Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and the state of Tennessee does not have any form of firearm registration. Also, that the info on form 4473 stays in the dealer's file storage for 7 years (or something like that) then gets destroyed.

     

    A few weeks back we had attempted break-in at my house. Fortunately, our house alarms (a monitored burglar alarm plus a very loud and toothy 100-lb German Shepherd) scared him off before he stole anything. Someone was arrested a few days later with property stolen from a few other houses in the area. Anyway, my wife was the first home after getting the call from our security company. She secured the dogs and waited for the police to secure the rest of the house. As they pulled up she stashed her handgun, a Walther PK380, in the foyer to avoid any complications. While securing the house, they asked her if we had any firearms (presumably to see if any weapons had been stolen), and specifically asked the location of the Walther PK380. 

     

    What I'm curious about is how they knew we owned a PK380. It just so happens that this is the only handgun I have purchased new while living at that address. It was purchased from Shooter's Depot through Gunbroker about a year ago. I also purchased a .22 rifle from Sportsman's Warehouse last fall (direct sale), and another handgun from Sportsman's Supply in Hixson about 3 years ago when I lived at a different address (also direct sale). I have multiple other firearms that were either gifts, private sale (no 4473), or were purchased long ago. She wasn't questioned about those, only the PK380.

     

    So how did they know?

     

    The only possibilities I can think of is they either got the info from Gunbroker or directly from Shooter's Depot.

    Maybe she told them before they asked and forgot.  There is no way they knew that you had a PK380 unless someone told them.  

  6. I figure they keep records when they do the background check, but if they are checking to see if I can legally purchase a firearm why do they need the serial number, make, model and caliber of the gun.

    Tennessee requires it to check the gun for stolen.  

  7. Lost my benchmade a couple years ago that I have carried for over 10 years.  Couldn't find it for a couple of weeks.  I went to the gym office where I worked out as a last ditch effort and asked if anyone turned one in.  The manager asked me to describe it.  The disappointed look on his face as I described it confirmed they had it.  I was lucky.

  8. I was thinking same thing. That's probably why he only got 18 months instead of 10 years? ATF "you agree not test suppressor charges and things will be easier on you"?
    Besides I don't think they were marked "made in Tennessee"

    Federal sentences are calculated by a point system based on the defendant's prior criminal history.  That sentence makes sense for someone that probably didn't have much if any at all of a criminal history.  If you plea guilty like he did, you get a break for accepting responsibility and not forcing the courts to prepare and execute a trial.  The 18 month sentence was also probably part of the plea agreement.  

  9. If you're driving up there, make sure you drive or take the Metro out to Fairfax to hit the National Firearms Museum. It's worth it.

    I distinctly remember looking at all the guns in the American History museum as a kid. Turns out that part of our heritage must have offended some sensibilities because most of them have been removed.

     

    I was there today.  I only had a couple of hours to take in everything but needed several more.  I've never seen such beautiful collections before.  

     

    They remodeled the American History Museum a few years ago and it changed quiet a bit.  I liked it better before.  The progress of technology was really cool and now it's gone too.  

  10. The ATF agents only have powers granted to them by the states they operate in.  TN could remove one section of law and ATF agents would not be able to legally carry a firearm in TN without an HCP and be subject to 39-17-1359 just like the rest of us.

     

    You seem to think that the ATF magically gets powers from the federal government, but the states are really what gives them the ability to make arrests, serve warrants, and carry firearms.

     

    If the states give them arresting powers, they can remove some or all of those powers, and place criminal sanctions on them if they violate those provisions.

     

    A perfect example of this is Texas, they were going to pass a law to prohibit certain types of pat downs and make violating that law a felony...  What did the feds do?  They threatened to prevent any flights from out of state into Texas if they passed that law...  You'll notice they didn't try to make a claim that the TSA federal agents couldn't be arrested for violating Texas law...

    Not sure where you got that bit of info but TN doesn't have any control over what the ATF can enforce or their ability to carry firearms.  They get their powers from 18 U.S.C. 3051.  Here is it for reference:  http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3051

     

    It's true that each state defines what powers federal agents have in their state for enforcing only state law violations such as DUI or other misdemeanor crimes but it has nothing to do with them enforcing violations of federal law. Some classify them as peace officers just like the local and state police and others have them in another category that limits their powers for violations of state laws. I believe Tennessee defines federal agents as Special Investigators.
