My question is how many folks have been awakened in the middle of the night and needed to call the police and what was the response you received? Not on something personal but maybe an intruder call or something of that nature? I had something happen several years back that later on I found it rather amusing. This was my 1 and only experience.   Had an incident about 5 years ago and didn't really give it much thought till recently.  Had a few Immigrants try to help themselves to some high end fishing rods off deck of my bass boat in my carport about 2AM one night. They might have gotten away with it but my guard dog was on duty and asleep under the boat. I could tell her to guard the boat and she would sleep under it in summertime. Shes not really a barker as much as a reaction type guard dog and bites first and then barks. She took a large chunk of meat out of the lower calf of one of latinos and he set into screaming and I cleared the door with flashlight and cell in one had and Bersa in the other and his buddy had taken off as I exited the door and only got a glimpse of him . The idiot thought he was going to punch Kasey but he found out that didn't work cause she got hold of 3 of his fingers and took 2 off at the first knuckle. (Her daddy was Chow and her Momma was Black Mouth Kerr so her jaws are like a vice.) Then the guy jumps up in my boat to get away from her and he bleeding like a stuck pig all over my boat carpets and screaming something in Spanish at Kasey. I had the carport lights on by then and I yelled at him to shut the hell up because the dog does not understand Spanish. I get on my cell phone and called the police @ 911. This is where it got really interesting. Now it's a Wednesday night  in this town and the dispatcher ask me what was my emergency and I told her I needed a squad car and an ambulance. She said it's going to be about 20 minutes because they are pretty busy right now. I politely told her that was fine. I would just shoot the guy a few times and when they got a chance they could stop by and unload him out of my boat. She said you can't do that and I told her to stay on the line so she could hear the shots and she said they were on the way right now and I should have help in a few minutes. I said Thank You. It was about 1 minute before I heard sirens coming from about 3 different directions. Inside of about about 4 minutes I had all kinds of help. I told one of the officers that his buddy was hiding behind a garden shed in my neighbors yard. He said he would request a  k-9. I was looking at Kasey and she had her run cable stretched out tight towards the neighbors shed with both her ears stood straight up. She knew he was there. I told the officer to get a buddy and just wait right there and I unhooked Kasey. She went around that building and here the guy comes running wide open, screaming towards the police officers.He is lucky he didn't get shot because both officers had their guns out with Kasey hot on his heels. I grabbed her and they grabbed him. After a little questioning come to find out they worked for the lawn service that cut my neighbors yard. The were illegal and so was every employee the guy had on his payroll but himself. They arrested him and took all of his equipment and shipped the other guys off to ICE for processing.  What I found so amusing after I thought about it was I have lived in this town for many years and I have never seen the police busy on a Wednesday night at 2AM except that night and it was funny that when I said I will just shoot the guy she had a better idea real quick and the Calvary was on the way. I also had to laugh at one of the police officers when he said we need that dog working for us and his partner laughed and agreed. I was just wondering if anyone else has had an experience with the police in the middle of the night and what kind of response you got from the 911 operator. Oh yea, It cost my boat insurance company over $700.00 to re carpet my boat after they paid a company to try and wash out the stains.

A burglary in progress will get the highest level of response from most PD’s. Usually as soon as the dispatcher got the address and info out we had Officers on the scene, with additional responding Officers setting up a perimeter. I’ve had to fill in for dispatchers before and sometimes the biggest challenge is getting info from the victim. My favorite was one night I was at a house on a call and I heard a home invasion dispatched. The dispatcher told the Officers someone tried to kick the victim’s door in. One of the responding Officers asks if there was a description or a direction of travel. About a minute later the dispatcher replies with “The victim advises you will be able to recognize the suspect; he will be lying on the back porch bleeding from a gunshot wound."   That must have been many years ago or in another state.

went out in search of an AK today...fondled several and could settle on one....got this little guy instead...

Just another reason the Murfreesboro show is worth the drive, imho.

You know, this is getting tiring.      Libruls suck.

As someone who actually lives in Antioch, I'll try to reclaim some trash-talk from the yuppies on here. :taunt: Yes, Antioch has a reputation. Just like LA has a reputation. It's a mix of good areas & not-so-good areas. However, you only hear about the bad parts, because the good parts stay quiet. It really depends on where you are. In general, east of I-24 is not so good, but has patches of decent housing (especially if it's a newer development). West of I-24 is better, getting gradually better (& more expensive) as you get towards I-65 & Brentwood. The Edmonson Pike area is nice. Going further west over I-65 to Radnor Lake, you start getting in to the pricy section of town. Green Hills is the epicenter of high-income for that area, and Hillsboro Pike from I-440 to Harding Pl. is gridlock hell. I-24 has slightly worse traffic during rush-hour than I-65. Northbound in the morning & southbound in the evening. I'd recommend sticking to the I-65 corridor or the West End area if you can find something within your price range. Vandy & Belmont students take up a good chunk of housing in that area, though. Since you're moving to a brand-new area, you could just rent a place for 6 months or a year & get to know what parts of town you like, and where the "invisible lines" are that separate one part of town from the next. Here's a funny map that someone made. Is it true? In a general sense, but not absolute. My :2cents: .

Brentioch is better than full on Antioch.

Antioch is not a good/safe area. When I moved here in 91 it was a good place but around 2000 it started declining and hasn't showed signs of getting better since.

  This is one of the reasons why bothering to check the internet is a bad idea as it contains conflicting reports. Also if a person knowingly carries into a location that is posted off limits and is subsequently busted for it, if it becomes known that you knew the location was off limits your charges can be escalated.   If the door is posted then I avoid going inside, if the door is not posted I'm under no obligation to search the internet or make phone calls to make any determinations....

In my opinion there is way too much info missing from this story to make any real determination about it.   As for myself if "I" was being jerked around unjustly over a lower I'd burn his name into everyones memory cards with no hesitation whatsoever.....

There used to be deals there. Now there seems to be no advantage in going to them because there's no incentive to fight the crowds. I hate crowds. :(

As someone who's been self employed for 25 years I am always amazed when folks talk about getting money back from Uncle Sam. Like it's a gift or something.

Only gay boys are allowed for now, no leaders. They ruined a 100 year old group by sticking their noses in. The gays are wanting to destroy everything that does not do as they say.  

♂+♀=baby ♂+♂=nothing ♀+♀=nothing So how do we keep our plant going?

Hypocrisy at it's finest. You have to tolerate us & our beliefs, but we sure as hell ain't going to tolerate you & your beliefs.

it's about as useful as implementing a no stupid people inside the building ban.   doesn't matter what they say, it's still perfectly legal and it would be interesting to see how they try to handle it.  Are they going to have security guards patrolling the parking lot illegally demanding peoples' ID's so they can put them on a no entry list?   Yeah that'll work out real well!

Thank you very much. I too had a hard time with some but that was the plan, Hope everyone had a good time today, I know I did. Thanks to all who shot the match, give me some time the stages will get better and yes harder. I would also like to give John and Michael a big thanks for helping and letting me do this, it was an eye opener. With that said THANK YOU hope everyone had fun.

Wonder how it does gutting fish and stuff?

Let’s be honest; it’s about price. Who cares if there is a bunch of junk and other assorted stuff; there are plenty of guns there. Problem is they are all priced too high for the majority of us that know where to buy. I don’t see many of our local dealers or forum dealers participating in the gun shows. Why should they? Why should they pay to rent a table and transport guns when they will sell everything they have in their shops or on Gun Broker? Of course the internet has impacted price. Years ago you could find people selling their guns off cheap. Either they didn’t know what they had or didn’t know what it would bring. Now you can find out with a few mouse clicks. It seems to be a sellers’ market on used stuff. But I haven’t bought a used gun in a couple of years or more. Why would I when I can buy new for the same money? What I noticed recently (last two purchases) is that there are local dealers that will match or beat internet pricing. On the other hand there are dealers that have crazy high pricing but they stay in business.

Just to update my last last post...my wife is still watching the marathon.

Meh. I'd be more impressed with Black Rain Ordnance if they refused to sell any type or AR in NY.

  They're ignoring it...   http://bearingarms.com/empire-state-rebellion-hundred-of-thousands-of-new-yorkers-refuse-to-register-so-called-assault-weapons-ahead-of-april-15-deadline/

I've lived in franklin, Brentwood most of my life. We spent the last six years in Lennox village. Never had an issue there and it was a wonderful place for a family. That being said, it is about as far into town as I'd care up live. It quickly changes to an older more low income part of town. Were in nolensville now and absolutely love it.

Antioch has become Gangland over past several years. I use to live there back years ago and it was a nice area. The reason you get much more bang for your buck now in that area is because it has declined as being a nice place to live and many places are having trouble getting good law biding citizens to move there...........jmho

People... Lets not reveal major plot elements or things that are big surprises. Not everyone has read or seen the series.

Its also known as hispantioch. Lots of indians around too. Not an ideal place.

I got a call from the family CPA this afternoon. I must be doing something right this year. First time in about 5 years, we actually will not have to pay Uncle Sammie and the infernal service. Think I'll celebrate by buying a box of ammo or two.

How is this related to your TGO subscription?

It worked out surprisingly well for me this year as far as a refund.   Got a $347.00 federal refund and spent it on a s/s Ruger 10/22 carbine with a trigger job and after market bolt release. Total cost including sales tax, Tic, etc. $350.00.   Most expensive hand held club I've ever owned :ugh:

The purpose of the training is to teach you not to "hit someone upside the head a few times".  Batons can be deadly.

  Papa, as the law stands now, concealed or open carry is a crime, this would simply relegate only concealed carry to needing a permit.  Like many other States, open carry would not require a permit.  

A butterfly farting in Guam can cause gas prices to rise.

Just wait until the petrodollar standard ends. That's when gas prices will really go up. Sent from somewhere in the cosmos using magic...and bacon.

That grind it pretty sweet. Congrats.

  A bat is illegal too, if possessed with intent to go armed. Really, anything you can seriously injure a person with by striking them with it fits definition of "club" in TCA.   - OS

  Stated by an Advocare pusher no doubt.   Of course it is a pyramid, plus MLM,  just like Amway and any number of lesser known ones, in that more people can make more money by enlisting other "distributors" than by selling the actual products. People just paying the sign up fee, the money filters up the pyramid regardless of whether any products are actually sold or not.   - OS

heh, really, you gotta train to use a freaking CLUB?    Its like the first weapon invented.  You hit someone upside the head a few times, and they stop bothering you.  How hard is that?

nice,but not 9k nice.

  High price of skag doesn't keep it out of idiots' veins, or gas out of their tanks. Seems to me it's more reasonable people who drive less by combining errands into single trips, carpooling, or even (shudder) taking public trans.   - OS

If you ask me one big reason is there are just too many shows now.  It's gotten out of hand.  Knoxville averages at least one show per month.   When I was a kid there were like 2 shows a year (in Memphis) and they were mighty good shows.

Do You Guys Really Think That The Corporations Care What You Pay FOR GAS? IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO IS IN OFFICE OR THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE. FUEL PRICES WILL NEVER BE LOW AGAIN, BECAUSE JUST LIKE GUN AND AMMO PRICES, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HAS SHOWN THAT IT CAN ABSORB CONSTANT MINIMAL INCREASES EVEN WHILE WE COMPLAIN ABOUT SAID INCREASES. USING THE STRATEGIC RESERVES IS JUST AN ELECTION YEAR PACIFIER. JMO

come see me, ill let you borrow a personal small covert video recorder, just go in and tell him youre there to pick it up and record the whole transaction. Then call the pd, let them come out and take a report,and or go to the DA's office and tell them you want to take out a warrant against the FFL. If they refuse, get him indicted on your own through the local grand jury when they convene. You'll have to figure out what to have him charged with by doing a little homework.theft by deception is a good place to start....me no lawyer, me no give you legal advice, just opinion based on experience.PM me if you still need help my offer stands

Last year was the first year I took my return and bought something nice. This year, and every year before, it goes into an account, just like it otherwise would if the IRS hadnt stole it. I agree, taxes shouldn't be taken out of one's paycheck. All Americans should have to write a check for what they owe at the end of the year. Things sure would change in regard to all these well intentioned bleeding hearts. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Go there in person at least one hour before he closes, without him expecting you. Ask to see your lower, to confirm he does have it. Wait around a while to see if he is selling other guns and calling them in. If he says the website is down tell him to use the phone to call it in. Let him know you aren't leaving without it. If he cannot produce your lower and you have proof that he received it, if he refuses to complete the transfer via web or phone, or otherwise makes any excuses... tell him you are going to call the local TBI, BATF, and BBB offices to file complaints. Have those numbers with you and call from his place of business if needed. Make sure you have your purchase receipt, proof of shipment being received by him, and your TN state ID with you. And take your cell phone and use it to record your entire visit so you will have audio evidence if needed.

Meh, looks like his douchey life is punishment enough. Plus he has to climb that mountain of Walmartian fatty every so often. I suppose if he suffers from little wiener syndrome to the point he has to fake being in the military, those big flabby thighs he has to put it between aren't helping the presentation of the goods. Like a Vienna sausage between two Christmas hams. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

As far as I am concerned, all fire arm laws are unconstitutional as the "infringe" on the 2nd.

Yep, and some dork out there will buy them.
