Yep, getting about that time of year. It's nice to be retired to the country! No more shoveling the snow from the sidewalk and driveway. No more rushing out in a panic to the store to buy milk, bread and eggs. And best of all... No fighting the traffic and slick roads to get to / from work. I do have to venture my way to the chicken coop to get my free eggs and get the occasional log from the back deck for the wood burning stove. So I guess you could say I'm only semi-retired Good luck!2 points

As much charity work as I hear about being done by members here on TGO, I smell an EXCELLENT and truly deserving project. If the next location needs to be built from the ground up, I can say I'd be more than happy to help and I have no doubt several others would say the same. I am of course assuming that this is okay with insurance whatnot. I have no idea but I don't see it being to farfetched for an insurance company to not cover something or increase rates or not want to insure unless they know the building company as a reputable company instead of just a bunch of helpful customers. I'm sure yall are much more familiar with those kinds of details than I am, nevertheless, if there's anything can be done by volunteer work and yall need some bodies, just post about it here on TGO I'm sure you'll get all the help you need.2 points

Well. This has been an evening. Building & range are gone. Inventory was, for the most part, saved due to the overwhelming help we had from customers at the store and ones that stopped as they drove by to help out. Words cannot express how grateful I am to those guys & gals. No word as yet on what caused it. I've heard it started in the vents, I've heard it started in the range, and I've heard a bomb went off and that's what started it (I'm not joking). I'll update as we figure out what is coming next. We will rebuild for sure. Bigger, better, stronger than we were before. And do not worry Rusty, your precious suppressor is unharmed.2 points

What exactly WAS she charged with? There are two instances under the school carry statute. - Illegal to carry going armed. Which if she had ammo in purse on her person, it would technically be. Class E Felony - It's also illegal to carry an UNloaded gun on school property, openly or concealed. Class B Misdemeanor. She could of course also be charged with unlawful carry in addition to the school carry charge. Class A Misdemeanor in public. - OS1 point

No, they'll move her else where they think she is safe. Her parents will not change. If the girl is of legal age, she needs to do it on her own without fear of her parents.1 point

Aint no doubt, like many I've have tried the rest. I really hoped the M&P's would have taken me off my Glock fetish but still to date, there's not a modern pistol out there I can shoot and use easier than the Glock brand. Caliber doesn't really matter though I'd rather have a 1911 than a Glock in .45. I have many Glocks I have many mags for my Glocks I have much ammo for my mags for my Glocks. I am happily addicted.1 point

That's why I retired and moved to the country. I came from a neighborhood just as you're describing. Once it started and Section 8 arrived, for sale signs were popping up like Orville Wrights microwave popcorn. I was paying outrageous taxes on a moderate 15 years old home with a lot measured in feet. I had to accept 1/3 the appraised value to get out of Dodge, and I was fortunate at that. Talking to a former next door neighbor a few months ago, things around there have got much worse. They have a second mortgage on their home and are stuck there. It's been my observation in life that when the "hood" starts to turn South, nothing or nobody is going to stop it and you need to get out as fast as you can if financially possible. It's a damn shame!1 point

A person carries a gun into a school and the answer here is to fire the cop that arrested her and pull the license of the firearms instructor (I assume because she is too stupid to comprehend what he said???) We live in a state where carrying guns is illegal. Fire your state legislators.1 point

my wife talked to her sister that lives outside Seattle. She gets Canadian TV. She said it's been all over their news since it happened. Apparently Canadian media isn't as jacked up as ours and have reported the true and complete story all along. Now that's sad.1 point

Try different ammo. The white box Winchester and Bulk Federal tend to be underpowered and can cause this problem. Also, do not oil the rails. Use grease instead. Oil attracts dirt and debris and works it into the rails. With grease dirt and debris just stays on top. Dolomite1 point

An AWB won't happen overnight. I would keep the Marlin, and start sticking some money back. Obama can rattle on about an AWB on TV, but getting one passed is a whole other deal. Even if it could go his way, it will be months or years. BTW... Dolomite speaks the truth. Being a benefactor is good for you.1 point

The government is us. We will not throw the Constitution away. People like Obama will try to do an end run around some things. On the morning of November 7th the citizens of the United States will have spoken. You seem to be a bit more positive about what they will say than I am; I hope you are right. I am absolutely sure that I will never be taking up arms against law abiding American Citizens, and I can assure you I will be on the right side. I will defend my country to my death (if need be) against anyone who tries to illegally overthrow our government no matter how noble they might think their actions are. No one is going to be going door to door and disarming us on any large scale. We can’t be assured that some nut case Chief or Sherriff won’t try it again. When the infrastructure and law enforcement collapses as it did during Katrina anything is possible. But because of those actions we acted to prevent it from happening legally again. I pray that the American people do not reelect Obama. But if that is what they choose; so be it.1 point

If you are concerned about the accuracy of the gun and have had others confirm it by firing it as well, call S&W and have them send a prepaid mailer to you to that you can return it to them for service. Their customer service department is second to none.1 point

I didn't say anything. Only posted the statute in response to your question. - OS1 point

When does the law REQUIRE a SCHOOL to be posted? The law clearly states that you cannot carry a handgun into a school. That's posted enough in my book. She violated the law, she has to pay just like the rest of us would. Plain and simple.... "Well meaning law abiding citizens" don't break the law by carrying a handgun onto school property!

http://www.jbmf.us/mem-wot.asp I can't look at this page without crying. SSG Tabb's dog Bo is the most impressive dog I have ever met in my life. Bo took major shrapenal to the head but is living the retired life in Atlanta with Tabb's family. Bo was the model of what a MWD should be.1 point

Go to Ophelia Ford's district in Memphis, and they will give you a second, third, and maybe even a fourth chance to cast your ballot. Forms of ID accepted include death certificates (you get to vote twice if the services were held at NJ Ford Funeral Home). It won't really change your choices on the ballot, but will give a couple more opportunities to complain that you were disenfranchised.1 point

I was going to early vote, but my 7 year old son asked me if he could vote too. I told him no, and he then said he wanted to go with me to vote. This was too cool of a request, so I am going to vote on Tuesday November 6th and I am going to take him to the booth to show him how to vote! I could have still taken him to early vote, but I want him to see the process on the day of the national vote.1 point

I can understand how it is overwhelming for someone that didn't grow up hunting. However, I believe that a Hunter Safety Course would help you understand the basics. It would also be easier to figure out what you want to hunt and focus your efforts there. Depending on where you plan to hunt makes a lot of difference also, private or public land.1 point

I'm not the most informed or smartest person there is but at least I care enough, and smart enough to see the blatent lies and attempted cover ups by the Obama administration on this. This outrage happened because of the administrations fear of the negative flak it would have caused to Obama's campaign to have a terrorist attack so soon before the election when he's been bragging how safe he's made America from terrorists. Unfortunatly there is a large group of Obamatrons that no matter what evidence there is they will continue to deni the crimes comitted by this administration. I heard a great description of a liberal not long ago, everyone's goal in poker is to get a royal flush, a liberal will get a 10,J,Q,K, of spades and an 3 of diamonds, they will take a Sharpie and mark out the 3 and the diamonds and draw in an A and a spade, it will look obvious and bad but they wont care and swear up and down they have a royal flush and will call you a hate monger and racist if you point out the fact they don't have a royal flush.1 point

Absolutely disgusting. On the other hand, Woods and Doherty disobeyed direct orders and went in knowing there was not going to be any backup coming. These two men are the epitome of American Excellence1 point

I know why they are are unhappy. No pork hence no good barbeque. No alcohol, self explanatory. Their women have to wear a covering that covers everything but their eyes. I think I would be pissed off as well, wouldn't you?1 point

I like the Texas stance; but i believe its posturing too. The good news is that its "good posturing". It is sending a message. It is laughable to anyone with half a brain that a bunch of UN bureaucrats that serve a bunch of totalitarian thugs could monitor anything in the USA and tell the truth about it. I say: "....Let the sons of b****es" watch. They may learn somethin and defect...". leroy1 point

With Tennessee's voter I.D. law they may have a few observers in Nashville on election day, I wish I knew where they would be, it would be fun to get a few people together and organize a citizens, U.N. observer observers group, of course staying within the law to make sure they follow our laws with plenty of video recording.1 point

TN has a state leash law. Dogs are not permitted to run "at large", therefore the owner of the dog that comes out after you has already broken the law. If it was just me walking my dog, I'd react closer to DaveTN's posts. If my kids were involved, I grease that dog without a 2nd thought.1 point
