To bring this thread to a close, he was put to rest today.  A *huge* amount of thanks and credit to both the local Masonic Lodge and the Campbell County Honor Guard. The Lodge conducted the Masonic last-rites for him last night and the Campbell County Honor Guard saw to full military honors at his burial this morning.  

    I don't think you understand the argument. Considering the sacrifice Jesus made I think he expects nothing less than full devotion from people, not treating him as a hedged bet or an insurance policy. 

There are many on this very forum who think it will never happen in Tennessee or nationally and they are sadly mistaken.   They thought Obama would never, ever be reelected.   They think no Democrat would ever jeopardize their position to vote on gun control.   Colorado is gone following the precedent New York set.     I'm here to tell you we have a long, long road ahead that will not end well if you cherish your rights.

  Seems like we're on the same boat here. 

I was always a proponent of Don't Ask Don't Tell. If you wanted to search my car, get a warrant.

  Remember NJ there as 49th when Christie runs. He's said he thinks NJ's gun laws are "about right".   - OS

I'm gonna go with "follow the money."  I have been following this since Kroger started the campaign a couple of years ago.  Such an absolutely silly law.  I'm tired of hearing the argument that this will hurt mom & pop stores.  Of course it will, but that is no justification at all.  The consumers are who should be catered to, not business.  We're no better than those liberal commies in the slave states who try to outlaw Walmart because they offer low prices and no union.  I'm ashamed of Tennessee on this one.

At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital. While the IRS agent was checking the books, he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, I notice you buy a lot of bandages.  What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any use?"   "Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every once in a while, they send us a free roll." "Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer.  But on he went, in his obnoxious way.   "What about all these plaster purchases?  What do you do with what's left over after setting a cast on a patient?"   "Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save it and send it back to the manufacturer and every so often they will send us a free bag of plaster." "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO.   "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?" "Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "We save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a year they send us a complete prick."     (No offense to any IRS auditors out there  :D )

  just because I am paranoid does not mean they aren't out to get me.

if you carry a gun in you ca then shut the heck up.  It is no one else's business, and it only carries a downside if found out.   If someone axes me if I have a gun in my truck I tell the truth.  "No".  Of course I don't add that there are two.

  "There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." - Dr. Floyd Ferris in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged

I think lawsuits will pop up every time someone gets fired now. The plaintiff will claim they were fired for having a gun in their car. This is going to cost the taxpayers of Tennessee millions of dollars in litigation.   It was fine before and now that this has passed it changes nothing. A worker will still be fired for having a gun in their car the only difference is now the employer won't say that is why they were fired.   Problem was people couldn't keep their mouth shut about having a gun in their car. And if they think they can now openly say they have a gun in their car, when they couldn't before, without ramifications they are probably going to to have a big surprize.   I am glad you guys got what you wanted but I don't see how it improved it from what it was before.   Dolomite

They can keep them for those prices. People are retarded.

Looks like the the bill in scheduled for the full House Criminal Justice Committee for Wednesday the 20th.

Tennessee is on high moral grounds when it comes to sins.Always has. That said, this bill did not make it because someone's pocket got lined. That's pretty obvious.

Sorry, didn't realize I was bragging. Just happy to get any kind of .22 ammo. Not much to be had out there. All three of my .22's feed it just fine. This also means I get to head out to my dad's property  with my 10 and 13 year old sons and do some plinking. Thats going to do us quite a few weekends. What more could a father ask for? Spending some good quality time with his sons out on the range plinking bottles and can. And, at the end of the day,not much money out of my pocket to do it with. So yes, I guess I am bragging. Matter of fact, bragging pretty hard.

EXACTLY!  Kool Aid consumption is not solely a left-wing activity.  When people are only looking for one explanation, they are going to exercise selective observation and are sure to find exactly what they are looking for even if it's totally absurd or if their few cherry picked "facts" are contradicted by piles of evidence.  If people want to know who is responsible for this ammunition shortage, many can take a look in the mirror and think about their panicked stockpile of ammo piled up in the garage or listed on GunBroker for 3-4 times the retail cost.   This particular topic is interesting to me.  On one hand, gun owners talk about the vital importance of practicing with their firearms, but when the federal law enforcement agencies purchase ammunition to practice with, people flip out and believe a takeover is in the works.  Or let's assume they are preparing for civil unrest and civil unrest did happen.  My strong suspicion is that many people actually have very selective concerns based on who would be carrying out the unrest.  Think for a second and be honest with yourself.  If the Occupy protests had turned into civil unrest or if the LA riots happened again, would you: 1) expect the government to do nothing to stop it, and/or 2) be upset if the government used violence to put down the unrest?  My point here is that I am very skeptical that the Alex Jones crowd is really all that concerned about civil liberties, but is really only concerned about civil liberties for specific groups that fit their own definition of who *should* be protected by the Constitution.   Also, on this "no hesitation" target issue, unless something has changed there is no evidence that the government purchased targets with pregnant women on them.  Based on my reading of the Alex Jones story, the government purchased targets from a company that also happens to sell the "no hesitation" targets people are wringing their hands over.  At no point has anyone been able to confirm whether the government has purchased any of those targets.  This is the kind of "journalism" Alex Jones practices.  He takes one piece of information, finds some other random possibly related piece of information, and makes a huge leap in logic that is ALWAYS grounded in his conspiratorial mindset.  For him, everything is a conspiracy because there simply is no other option in his mind.  

You should list those in the classifieds for like $1200.

All that white privelege didn't get Romney elected, nor McCain...nor Hillary, and she is married to a black man!

I wish everyone had something like a 1" or 2" sticker that we could leave stuck next to their sign that said "You won't get my $" They would probably get tired of scraping them off their window and begin to realize how much money they were losing!

We need a ban on assault politicians.

    Yup, if I thought the Big Guy would honor a hedged bet, might claim to be a Christian myself. Also a Muslim, Jew, Hindu, etc etc, just to cover all the bases.   - OS

That's pretty normal for an out of the box holster. It can scuff the finish on your slide and cause a little holster wear if its bad enough. You should be able to see where its dragging and take a file to the inside to relieve a little material in the area making contact. Also try loosening the retention screws a little and see if that helps. If you decide that you don't like that holster, for my money Master Tac makes the best kydex holster out there right now. Just my opinion though.

It isnt just women, but yea, its dumb and both irresponsible & discouraging.  They do it to kids and novice shooter men too.  One guy tried it on me with a 44, and I shot it one handed, dead center, put it back down, and said "for all the noise I thought it was going to kick".   Now that was funny :P  I guess he thought my .22 meant I was a wimp or a novice or something.

I understand....and everyone is different. Your description is exactly what an electric does to me. I have a $100+ electric that I just can't use. My neck looks like raw hamburger after shaving even lightly with it. I went back to the old safety razor with the old fashioned double edge blade, shaving cream, and brush and I'm happy with it.

That's because that is a secret match, only open to the cool kids.

The schools do this type of over blown hysteria to terrify the children about guns. It used to be the boogie man kids were afraid of - now it is a hunk of metal.

  i see what you did there

Don't overthink and never be underaware. Keep calm and carry on.

I see the nanny-state is alive and well in TN.

  Of course.  Back in the day when I sinned against Jack Daniels by mixing it with coke, I found it silly that I couldn't find coke in the same store as the booze.  Had to have that explained to me by the lady running the counter.  Just nuts all around.

This is happening worldwide. It is not an American, a Colorado, or even a California phenomenon. The Socialists are patient and whether you like to think it or not they are smart. They already have control of the language and the world financial markets (IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve). So it's really not a question of "if" it can happen. It's already happened. 

  You mean there's some left?

  Wait till the universal background check is passed. There will be an army of stingers haunting gun shows and online selling forums.   I can see it now, perfect use for the Obama Youth Corps or whatever it's called, all part time BATF employees, minimum wage plus bonus for busts.   - OS

  Buy it!!!!

I'm aware of the supposed facts that are out there. They have all been debunked. I could debunk all those points once again, but I don't suppose it would do any good since folks are going to believe what they want to believe. I do find it humorous when folks talk about others drinking the Kool Aid when all they're doing is exchanging fruit punch flavor for kiwi-strawberry.

That is awesome! I remember my Dad being so good at chess it made me sick. I wanted to play him...so, he gave me a book that was about 3/4 of an inch thick about chess and said "After your know what it is, I will play you." So I read it and played him for probably four years and never came close haha. BUT!..One fine evening we where on probably our third or fourth game and I knew about 4 moves ahead that he couldn't beat me. It was all I could do to keep from looking up at him because I wanted to scream it out loud! After about five minutes went by, I finally looked up and he was sitting there with his arms crossed grinning at me Lmao! He said "That's the ONLY time that'll ever happen boy!" Hahahaha! Oh and, it was :)

And to steal the thought and bastardize a reply...The eternally vigilant man is rapidly vanishing from this country. There are some left, but are a dying breed.

I'm happy to report that I am once again gainfully employed full-time!  I did get to do some consulting work during my job hunt period which was great but I'm glad to have something a little more consistent!   Aside from being thankful that I found something I think I'll really like, I'm especially thankful that not only do I not need to move out of state (as it was looking I might) but my commute is less than half of what it was and about a headache free as commuting can get.
