Thanks, Cannoncocker.

Thanks, Murgatory!

Guys (& gals), I'm looking for someone to smooth the action of my EMF Dakota 1873. Not looking for an arm-and-a-leg action; just something a little smoother than factory. Someone in East TN is preferred. Thanks.

Life member here. It was partly a monetary reason for me, though I do think the NRA does a lot more good than harm. I was hoping to also stop their every-other-week asking me to renew for another year. It did, but they just ask for money for different reasons now.

And from our house as well...........

Amen, and sorry for your loss. I have lost both my parents and know what you are going through. My Dad in 1976 & my Mom in 2001. Both still seem like yesterday.

Dang! Thanks a ton for the help.

Thanks, guys. Bigger safe and a LOT of ammo. Seriously, I appreciate the help.

Okay, got the C&R, and from what I read, I have to get a Mosin. Even if I don't want one, I HAVE to (though I really do want one). School me what I am looking for. I hear hex, round, Tula. It makes my head hurt. Thanks in advance for the help!

+1!!!!!

Well kids, as I promised, here is the responce from the Haslam camp: Mayor Haslam has said consistently throughout the campaign that he supports the current permitting law as it’s written. When asked recently if he would sign legislation passed by the General Assembly that would change the current concealed carry permit system, he acknowledged that he would if determined through the legislative process to be the best course. However, as Mayor Haslam has made clear throughout the campaign, his focus if elected will be on creating jobs, improving our schools, and managing an incredibly difficult budget situation through conservative fiscal leadership. Sincerely, Bill Haslam for Governor campaign Don't know about you, but I thought that was a great job of skirting my question, which was very straightforward only regarding reciprocity. I never asked about jobs, schools, budgets, etc.. Typical rhetoric. I'll be honest. I will vote for this man, I just wish he wasn't so much of a politician!

I think you & I are on the same page, Mr. Shoot. That was kind of my question to start with. If the HCP process is eliminated, might reciprocity be eliminated also?

Okay, back to the "ignorant country boy" thing here. If the second statement is true, wouldn't the natural progression be the elimination of the HCP? I'm just saying, if being able to legally own (and thereby posess) a handgun is simply your age and other items mentioned above, where will the HCP serve a purpose? It seems to me we are making the permit optional. Put that scenario to a driver's license. If I am old enough to drive a car and that makes it legal, what is the point of going through the license process? Sorry to beat the dead horse, just trying to get convinced.

I sent an email to the Haslam Camp asking about reciprocity. I'm sure he will get right on that! If he does respond, I will copy and paste on the forum. David
