    Give it a couple of years and they might recall that DA like SF did.  Once crime starts getting out of hand, people wise up.

    We're talking about Memphis here.  It's already ranked in the top 5 most dangerous cities in the USA.  Add a "woke" DA and who knows....

    I'd go with the Wrangler as well, unless you wanted a 22 lr/22 mag convertible or an awesome 16" barrel.  That's where Heritage can't be beat for the price.

    Beat me to it.  Shawn, if you're looking for a .22 LR revolver the Ruger Wrangler is a nice mid-point between a Heritage and the Single-Six.  I have both (Heritage & Wrangler) and haven't had any issues with either in light use.  But I prefer the Wrangler.  The Heritage is OK for casual plinking, etc. but the Wrangler just "feels better".  Both make birdshead models that are a little smaller if hand size is an issue.

    I've bought some nice used Browning Marks and Buckmarks at reasonable prices but might be hard to do today.  

  4. I need a 1965 Tennessee auto license plate to register my restored Mustang.  No truck or specialty plates. The correct tag is white w/black lettering and is stamped "62" with a 1965 sticker (will consider 1964 also).  The first numbers on the tag at that time were a county ID.  I'd prefer a "68-####" plate for Cheatham County but know that's a long shot.  Must be in good condition since the car is freshly updated.  If you have anything available drop me a PM.  Thanks!     

  5. Tennessee 4-H also has an extensive youth shooting sports effort.  Depending on each county's interests we offer programs in rifle (BB, air rifle, and rimfire), shotgun (skeet, trap and sporting clays), archery and hunting/outdoor skills.  It's one of, if not the largest, 4-H activities in Tennessee.  Participation is about equal to all the livestock programs combined.  All disciplines offer the opportunity to compete at the state and national levels for those that qualify.

    The UT website is:  Shooting Sports | Tennessee 4-H Youth Development

    4-H also offers a "Target Smart" camp.  As of now, it's scheduled to happen this summer: 

    "4-H Target Smart Camp is a program of Tennessee 4-H Shooting Sports. It is for youth who are enrolled in grades five through nine as of the date of the camp. This resident camp is located at Clyde Austin 4-H Center in Greeneville, Tennessee. At camp youth learn appropriate skills to succeed in a variety of shooting sports and related areas such as archery, riflery, shotgun use, muzzleloading, and outdoor skills. Programs emphasize safety, correct form, and responsible use. Campers should receive prior training before attending this camp. 

    Dates – July 11-15, 2022
    Location – Clyde Austin 4-H Center, Greeneville
    Cost – TBD"

  6. I coach/train in the 4-H Shooting Sports program.  This activity starts at the 4th grade (8-9 yr.) level.  In the BB program we use Daisy 499B guns.  They are a single shot, muzzle loaded BB gun made specifically for 5 meter competition and are very accurate  We emphasize gun safety, along with skills.  The program is 4-position, prone, sitting, kneeling, and offhand.  It's a competition based precision shooting activity so some kids find it too "slow" but it's excellent for those that are focused.

    At the 4-H camps we use .22 lr single shot rifles on a highly supervised range.  They can go to camp beginning the summer after the 4th grade.   We stress gun safety, proper handling, etc.  We get a lot of first time shooters that have never touched a gun.  No effort at developing precision shooters.  We just work to provide a positive experience with a firearm and hope that they can have success hitting the paper!  It's a great experience guiding a hesitant kid through their first time firing a gun.  We also hold a Shooting Sports specific camp that includes several shooting sports.  We plan to resume both camp experiences next summer.

    Great to know about the tax savings, but any new guns that you wants along with the any ammo will cost you more than the safe.

    That's always been true.  Just more so today.  What's in my safe is worth much more than the price of the safe.  Always amazes me what we will spend on our toys but we will complain about the cost to store them securely.

  8. "Is it foolish of me to sit on and basically hoard these components or should a just go ahead and load 'em up and have shootable ammo ready to go?"

    Not in my opinion.  Unless you're sure what you will need in the future there's a lot more flexibility by having components.  You have adequate supplies of loaded ammo, components and equipment to reload what you need to replace.  Sounds like a good plan to me.
