    State law preempts that, best of my knowledge.  The new park carry law should cover all the parks too, which has always been somewhat in question. 

    Not necessarily.  It wouldn't take but a few thousandths (0.001") difference in the firing pins to discharge the rounds at different times.    If typical velocity is 950 ft/s, that's 79.2 in/s.  If one bullet is 0.5" ahead of the other leaving the muzzle, that's 0.006 seconds.           Right, you wouldn't want both to fire at exactly the same time.  If you spread them out just a little, that could have a big effect on recoil pulse and stress within the gun.  I hadn't thought about the bullets colliding in flight, but that makes sense too.                I recall thinking about that when these were first advertised, but forgot until this reminder.  One would assume that 2 shots with one trigger pull = NFA item, unless they've got some ruling to the contrary. 

Congrats!  Bristol is nice. 

    Yep, I'm at the bottom of the hill.  Hearing firearms on the weekend is pretty normal.  It'd be a great way to introduce yourself to the neighbors!  Top of the World community in an interesting place.  There may be some ordinances beyond county laws, you might look into that. 

There's so much stupid going on in that video, I'm not sure where to start.  Attempted vehicular homicide might be a good place. 

Long before we got married, I made my wife change the oil in her car and I also made her change a perfectly functional tire just to prove she could do it (to me and herself).  That was before cell phones had decent coverage and we both drove plenty of places where getting a flat at night might not end happily.  She didn't know it at the time, but successful completion of those tasks was a condition of our continued association...   ;)

    Life cycle cost and environmental impact for hybrids is off the scale.  The time and energy expended developing the technology far, far surpasses the modest efficiency improvements.  The processes used to manufacture and recycle the batteries are far from what anyone would consider "green".      And most hybrid owners probably use a 2-stroke leaf blower instead of a rake and a broom.  A couple hours with that leaf blower puts more NOx, SOx, and CO2 in the air than driving a Prius for an entire year. 

My EDC is a Leatherman Wave and I've got several others (different versions.... one that lives in each car, in my motorcycle, kitchen junk drawer..).   My criteria for EDC was the smallest one I could find with both pliers and scissors.  I use it frequently but I'm not very hard on it .  It's lasted a long time. 

Check the price on new rotors.  Last time I looked into that, it was $30 to turn them and $45 for new ones.  O'Reilly was the only place I could find that would do it around here. 

TN is a "shall certify" state, right?  My understanding is you don't ask the CLEO's permission, you simply require acknowledgement via signature. 

    That's how it went for me as well, though I used my passport instead of my birth certificate. 

When to an in-laws family farm over the weekend and took a few shots. Wish I'd taken a little more time with a couple of these shots, but I was just wandering around taking snap shots.

    It's consistent with both guns for multiple shots.  Looks like the right bullet is ahead of the left every time, unless they're showing the same shots multiple times. 

Anyone else notice the difference in timing between the barrel in each gun? One bullet is slightly ahead of the other. I wonder if that's on purpose? Lengthen the recoil pulse maybe?

    It's the same reason hog hunting is so screwed up here.... people transporting or releasing them without a permit.  It prevents the spread of diseases and areas getting over-run with specific types of critter.    Use an air rifle.

    If it's not doing significant damage, leave it be.  If it is, call TWRA.  They'll probably tell you to shoot it.  If you don't want to, they might come trap it and kill it themselves.  Either way, it'll die.  But as stated several times, it's illegal to transport game animals without a permit.  If you get caught, TWRA/USFWS will probably confiscate your vehicle and fine you.  High speed lead poisoning is much easier. 

Welcome!

Welcome!

    I missed two bottles of Don Julio?   :cry:

We did a little shooting over the weekend too. Would have done a lot more had I know it was going to happen at all. Had several adults and kits shoot for the first time and a couple others shoot for the first time in a loooong time. My little one, first time shooting more than a BB gun.

I have a Smith's system and a leather strop.  Takes a little practice, but shaving sharp isn't a problem. 

I use this... http://www.amazon.com/Mil-Comm-TW25B-Grease-Reclosable-Syringe/dp/B000UTOVX8/ref=pd_sim_200_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0BXKKW0SGXGACCND8E0W   The syringe has a very small tip which allows you to apply a very small amount to a specific location and not waste any or have to spend time cleaning it off all the places it shouldn't be.  It works great.  One syringe should be nearly a lifetime supply. 

Could've been worse....   True story that happened to a friend...   My friend and another guy were sitting on a fence chatting next to a pasture with some cows.  One of the cows was only a foot or so away, facing the fence and quietly munching on grass.  Apparently she was in heat, as the bull came from across the field and proceeded to mount her with them sitting right there.  They both turned around and did the "well there's something you don't see every day..." sort of reaction.  A moment later and right at the moment of truth, the bull got a little over-enthusiastic and slipped out.  My friend's reactions were a touch faster than the other guy's.  He ducked out the way and only got splattered on his ear and shoulder while the other guy took a full facial.  He said the stench was beyond horrible and he proceeded to projectile vomit while laughing hysterically for the next few minutes.  The other guy had a similar reaction but found it less amusing.  They both burned their clothes and my friend said it was several days before he stopped smelling it.  :rofl:

Triple tap. Nice. Kidding, great shots (all 3 times). :)

Atta boy! You should do the same thing for us next time we get together for a shoot. :D
