The legislators responsible for bringing this legislative excrement to life are Representative Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) in the House of Representatives and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT.) leading the Senate version.  The three dissenters were Rep.Paul Broun R-Georgia, Rep. Justin Amash R-Michigan and Rep. Keith Ellison D-Minnesota. Rep. Ron Paul was reported earlier as having voted against the bill, but that was based on the original vote conducted 02/28/11. Rep. Ron Paul ABSTAINED on the final vote.

Welcome to the forum!

Wal-Mart has been contacted.  Here is the email that I got back from Lamar recently:   Thanks very much and letting me know what’s on your mind regarding the right to bear arms.   I’m a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights. Congress should not pass laws that take away these rights from law abiding citizens and leave criminals to terrorize the streets. Good citizens don’t abuse guns – criminals do. I will continue to support legislative efforts to protect the Second Amendment rights of law abiding Americans, and oppose efforts to overturn the Second Amendment.   In two recent cases, the U.S. Supreme Court clearly held that the Second Amendment protects the right of individual Americans to keep and bear arms. In the 2008 case, D.C. v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that D.C.’s restrictive gun laws violated the constitutional rights of Americans. Two years later, in McDonald v. Chicago, the court struck down the city of Chicago’s handgun ban and held that, like the federal government, state and local governments must respect Second Amendment rights. I joined legal briefs in both cases in defense of this constitutional right and was pleased with the Supreme Court’s decisions.   I am grateful you took the time to let me know where you stand. I’ll be sure to keep your comments in mind as Second Amendment rights are discussed and debated in Washington and in Tennessee.   Sincerely, Lamar

Jeremy Clarkson from "Top Gear" posted this on his Facebook page this week:  "Americans. It took us 40 years to get rid of Piers Morgan. Pleasse don't send him back."   Apparently the feeling is pretty mutual over in the UK. 

I was 28,343 but the petition was met at 25,000.

Stocked up on AR pmags this week.  There seems to be a lot of price gouging going on. Ordered 10 from a website for $18.95 yesterday, now today they are $27.99 each. 

I went around 2PM and it was shoulder to shoulders.  Didn't really see that many good deals and only stayed for about an hour. 

Good call. I would do the same.

[quote name='KahrMan' timestamp='1354123491' post='851979'] My hunting buddy did. That is a front yard in Brentwood, right off Granny White Pike. [/quote] I saw this deer on Wilson Pike near the park a few years back and pulled over and took a few pictures of it as well. Just glad it didn't dart out into traffic and went on into the woods.

[quote name='KahrMan' timestamp='1353944191' post='850783'] It is right past Nolensvilles Road on 96. They are a membership based butcher. If you are not a member you have to pay up front and it is about $85-90, at least is was last year. [/quote] How does their membership work? Did not see anything about it on their website.

Nice looking buck! Congrats. Took a doe on Thursday as I never saw any bucks while I was out.

Congrats to your son! Especially on public hunting land.

I have an S3 with Verizon and still waiting on Jelly Bean. It's a company owned device managed by a mobile device management system and will show as compromised if I use a custom ROM and loaded Jelly Bean. ugh.

TWRA range on Hobson Pike seems relatively safe.

Posted this on another page but I'll post it here also. Took this doe on Thanksgiving morning while in West Virginia visiting family. [img]http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/tyree326/Thanksgiving2012Doe-1.jpg[/img]

Nice looking buck. Congrats to your son! I make lots of venison jerky every year myself. I've got a good black pepper jerky recipe that is one of my favorites.

[quote name='sigbrown1297' timestamp='1353371218' post='848484'] Looking for a processor near Nashville for WHEN get my deer I would like to do some summer sausage, and jerky as well. Much appreciated. [/quote] C&F Meats might be your best bet. Get off I-65 Franklin and it's down Highway 96.

Took a doe on Thanksgiving morning. Was hunting out of state in West Virginia on family property that's overrun with does. I would not normally take a yearling or what appears to possibly be a yearling on the QDMA property that I hunt in Tennessee. [img]http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/tyree326/Thanksgiving2012Doe-1.jpg[/img] Also wanted to share this. Here is a link to a great example on how to age deer on the hoof.

[quote name='sigbrown1297' timestamp='1353470411' post='849019'] how soon after the kill do you have to field dress it? [/quote] Immediately.

Must have been some type of genetic deformity. Glad you took it out as we definitely don't want that buck breeding.

Great looking bucks and love the blind setups!!

[quote name='BlessTheUSA' timestamp='1353634029' post='849594'] Hello, I am not new to firearms but have never hunted. Wanting to learn to hunt deer, etc. I see a Remington 700 Varmint on sale, with 4-12 scope, in various calibers. Would this be a good hunting rifle - or is the varmint version not a good choice? Would 30-06 or 308 be a good choice? Would something as small as .243 make sense? [/quote] I own a Remington 700 Varmint in 308 and it is an excellent hunting rifle. Took a doe this morning actually. 30-06 ammunition seems to run a little less than 308 just FYI. Either will work great though. The scope that comes on it is not great but a good starter scope. I recently replaced that same one that came on mine with a Leupold VX2 3-9x40. World of difference. Have you completed the hunter education course? I would begin with this as a hunting education course must be completed before you can purchase a hunting license and legally hunt. Plenty of information can be found on the TWRA site.

Had one several years back. Not reliable or dependable as a carry piece. Failed to fire more times than I can count. I sold it and never looked back.
