I think that CA may have done us all a huge favor in bringing this issue to light so close to the first hearing of the Database Confidentiality bill. Looks like it may sail right on through to law.

This article refers to Eddie Bass as a "Prospect Democrat". This is the second time I've heard him labeled that. Anyone know what that means?

Yeah, my order of preference is Restaurant, State parks, then local parks. I eat out a lot, and we camp several times a year. Don't visit too many local parks. I started feeling very vulnerable camping in a tent with no protection. I could sleep easier knowing I can legally carry there.

Ha, Ha, I know what you mean. My wife sent in her paperwork about three weeks ago. It's fun to watch her squirm waiting for the mailman every day.

Wow, that was fast! I recieved a reply from Eddie Bass within minutes of sending him an email regarding HB959, 960, 961 and 962. Here is what he said: Sounds encouraging!

Thanks for the links. Emails are on their way.

I wonder how this would affect employes of federal locations like the DOE sites we have here in Oak Ridge? Firearms and ammo are strictly forbidden anywhere on the property.

I have on order a Kel-Tek P3AT and am thinking about getting one of those belt clips to attach to it. Seems like a really convenient way of carrying. My question is how do others use this clip? Assuming right-hand carry, do you attach the clip to the right side of the gun and carry IWB, or do you attach to left side and OWB carry. Also was wondering if the clip could be used while carrying in the back pocket? Thinking about it, I would think one would want the clip on the left side of the gun so that it would make it more easy to grab. Im thinking the barrel would be pointed down and the butt would be facing my right side. Any other thoughts?

I also have just sent off an email to Rep. Hackworth (D, Oak Ridge) asking for his support. I'm not sure of his feelings toword 2A issues, but I requested a reply and a statement.

Since Chuck Norris would never, ever, EVER wear a fanny pack, quite obviously this is a fanny pack wearing a Chuck Norris just to look cool.

OK, I see your point, maybe the background check is OK to weed out felons. But if I have an HCP, couldn't they just say "fingerprints on file"?

I would like to see a law enacted that said if you have a valid HCP, then you don't need the finger print or background check to purchase a gun. I mean, they already have our fingerprints on file with the state from when we got the HCP. To me, fingerprinting every time you buy a gun is redundant.

They said they wanted to return his sign, I would have made sure that a local reporter was there for the handoff. I also would have insisted that the officer who pulled me over do the returning.

I have one as well adn like it. Quality is not fantastic, but it's not crap either. For the price, I am very happy with it.

Man, it would be just horrible if someone took the list of names and addresses of the paper staff, printed a few hundred of them out with a big heading of something like "People who don't own any guns" and then left them around their town for random people to pick up. I hope that never happens.

On the web site, if you go back up a level by clicking the "Return to Data Center" link, you see that the HCP data base is mixed right in with various "Find Criminals" or Look up a Tradgedy" type databases. As if we are the bad guys. <No sureprize there though> Also on that page under the link to the HCP database, it says: As if this is a conclusive list of all the armed people in the state. In reality, it only contains law abiding citizens, not the thugs.

For me, I'd really like to know his motives behind the stunt. Does he sincerely think Mumpower is a nitwit and not suited for the job? If so then he may be standing by his convictions and think that he can actually do a better job. That, I could accept. However, I really just think that he wanted the power trip and played his hand. I think he is probably the nitwit and didn't have the vision to see how this would all play out. Regardless, he will be a one time wonder. Guaranteed the Repubs won't vote for him again as Speaker, and if the Dems get majority back, no way they will vote for him either. Without the R in front of his name on the ballot, I doubt he'll get re-elected, and it is doubtful the Dems would put him on their ticket.

Has anyone here ever tried making a soda can Stove? They are a lot of fun to make, fairly easy after you've made one and best of all they are really cheap. All it takes is two empty soda cans, and a little bit of alchohol. There are plans all over the net if you just search for "soda can stove", or "Pepsi can stove". My favorite design is this one: http://www.marcuslogan.com/49.html, but this site has lots of other designs and a ton of info: http://zenstoves.net/. I have made them and taken them backpacking. They are extremely lightweight, and if you lose or break one, no big deal, make another one. My first one probably took 45 minutes to build, but the second one took about 15 minutes once I knew what to do. I think this is one of those things to know that could come in handy one day, or just something to do to impress your friends. I also think it would make an excellent scout project.

Walmart carries the basic model of the 10/22. I picked one up a few months ago for just under $200. I love the rifle!

Like most politicians, he makes a stupid statement and then instead of admiting he was wrong, he goes through all kinds of contortions to prove he was right. I guarantee you if I don't pay my taxes, and keep kiving the government the finger and say "you're not getting them", eventually someone will show up at my door with a gun and force me to pay.

Boy are these guns hard to find right now. If anyone has a line on a P3AT in the Knoxville area. please let me know.

I use MIcrosoft's free SyncToy program. It will take folders that you specify on your machine and synchronize them with folders on another machine. You can tell it to make exact copies every time, so if you delete something from the source, it deletes it from the remote machine. I just tell it to copy new or updated files and ingnore deleted ones, that way if I accidentally delete a file I can recover it. I have this set up as a scheduled task that runs once a week for my documents and copies to a machine I use as a server. I'm not too worried about reinstalling the O/S and apps, I just want my data.

Cannot confirm or deny the veracity of this email but it sounds right doesn't it? Now that's how it's done folks! That's real SPIN

I hope he comes around here and teaches a class on how to use a baton

Wait a minute! When did Lou Dobbs become conservative??
