       Bill and Hillary are at a Yankees home game, sitting in the first row, with the Secret Service people directly behind them. One of the Secret Service guys leans forward and whispers something to Bill. At first, Clinton stares at the guy, looks at Hillary, looks back at the agent, and shakes his head "no". The agent then says, "Mr. President, it was a unanimous request of the entire team, from the owner of the team to the bat boy." Bill hesitates...but begins to change his mind when the agent tells him the fans would love it! Bill shrugs his shoulders and says, "Ho-Kay! If that is what the people want. C'mere Hilly baby..." With that, Bill gets up, grabs Hillary by her collar and the seat of her pants, lifts her up, and tosses her right over the wall onto the field. She gets up kicking, swearing, screaming, "Bill you"!$#@&!". The crowd goes absolutely wild. Fans are jumping up & down, cheering, hooting and hollering, and high-fiving. Bill is bowing, smiling and waving to the crowd. He leans over to the agent and says, "How about that; I would have never believed how much everyone would enjoy that!" Noticing the agent has gone totally pale, he asks what is wrong. The agent replies, "Sir, I said they want you to throw out the first "pitch."                                            

Just thought I'd share me,the wife and our daughter's trip outthe target is my 12yr old first solo with her mother's shield 9mm -Psalms 91:4-

Who in God's name would get within 10 miles of Shelby County and NOT carry a gun?  

Did you at least offer them a cigarette?

I am currently at Kroger in mt Juliet and saw a older guy open carrying what looked like a full size glock and all I can say is that I feel safe here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd get the Ranier.  I have one of their Mountain Series barrels and its really nice.  It'll save you almost a $100 over the Noveske.  

" Train up a child..."

It's like being chased by a bear. You just have to out run the person you are with. In this case you just have to wait for the bad guy to shoot him first.

The faith these people seem to have that criminals and gang-bangers obey these rules and/or laws is astounding.

and blind.

I believe it is an actual generating plant. I drove by it twice a day for the last year or so,and have never seen anyone on the premesis after the initial setup was installed.

I remember back when I was testifying at the Senate Judiciary hearing on Employee Safe Commute Republican caused abortion in 2010, then Democrat Memphis Senator Ophillia Ford quipped, "I never leave my house without my gun."  She actually voted with us on that one, as opposed to several Republicans...

2015 is officially the year of the AK for me. This year alone I have purchased two Century (CAI) "Iraqi Contractor" Romanian WASR 10's, a 2013 production Century (CAI) Romanian WASR 10, Century (CAI) Romanian RPK AES10B, + a Yugoslavian N-PAP DF. I have another Century (CAI) "Iraqi Contractor" Romanian WASR10 + a Century (CAI) Romanian Draco AK pistol en route to my FFL as I write this. As you can see, I am a fan of the weapon system through + through. At the present moment, I am debating the purchase of a Arsenal SLR107FR but I am stuck on if I should pick the variant with plum furniture or all black. Decisions, decisions! Without further ado, I present to you my humble selection of AK's.

Spoke w someone there today store will be open in about 2 weeks, range is under construction, should be nice!!

Those of you whom are friends with me on Facebook already know but for the rest, On the first of May, I suffered a severe heart attack while working offshore in Brazil. This actually happened on my off time, as we work 12 hour shifts. I was getting in the shower and for the next 6 hours I was so bad off that I could not even use the phone in my cabin to call the medic.   They gave me an EKG on board and confirmed that I should be dead right now. Shell Got me a medical chopper immediately. The next thing I knew I was being taken into the ER, I called my wife with my cell and just got that info out before they needed to operate, This scared the crap out of her and me because I am in a third world country,   They put 2 stints on my right side and told me I needed another surgery for the left side. The translator app on my Galaxy phone has been pretty much the only way to communicate with them. The nurses do the same, my company paid for 6 nurses for me, they are lovely caring professionals. For the last 5 or 6 years, when I quit smoking oddly enough, I have had Hypertension after the first surgery my blood pressure was in the low medium range,   I just got done with the second surgery, the doctors tell me that I have the heart of a baby now, besides the language barrier and the fact that I am here without my family this is by far the best medical care I have ever had in my life.     I would greatly appreciate all of your prayers for my family during this, it has been hard on them I should get to come home in the next few days, and as crazy as this may sound I actually thank God for this as it almost certainly pro longed my life, I work for an awesome company and will be paid while I recooperate     Any way thanks for listening!

That would be great Dixie. I want to take my son somewhere next week. Sever Indoor is kind of a hike and Buds is kind of a pain sometimes.

I've said it before and will again. The Dickel Barrel Select is a great whiskey. And a value. It should be in your liquor cabinet.

Taking her after school tomorrow and getting her one of her own -Psalms 91:4-

Taylor sand and Gravel dredged sand and gravel out of Miss. River at Caruthersville plus had a contractor or contractors that had asphalt plants at Hayti. Lots of activity in the 70's including bootleggers running whiskey into TN.

I was an inspector checking sand and gravel for Interstate and other projects for gradation and quality.

ou812 thank you very much! We'll definitely check out those earmuffs by Honeywell. My wife suffers from tinnitus as well.

I used to collect pipes and made a couple. back then you could get a kit at larger tabac stores. The best Briar comes from Sardinia, Italy. It sounds like you have all the equipment to make one. A couple of sharp knives will also be useful. Just try it out on some scrape wood first. And remember there are no two free hand pipes the same.

I have tinnitus and other ear and hearing problems!  We shoot at an indoor range.  I understand the problems your wife has with the concussion from guns! I have the same problem. I hated having to shoot next to a lane with a .40 cal or larger or shooting our .357 mag.. I could feel every shot they fired or I fired from the .357.  I first had to use double ear protection.  I used Howard Leight MAX Lite Foam Ear Plugs Uncorded NRR 30 plus ear muffs. That worked great, but with my hearing problems I couldn't hear the people I was shooting with when they were trying to talk to me.  So I found Walkers EXT Range Shooting Folding Muffs.  I didn't need the ear plugs, but still couldn't hear anyone talking to me.  A friend suggested electronic ear muffs.  I tried and returned a few pairs. I finally found Howard Leight by Honeywell R-01902 Impact Pro Electronic Shooting Earmuffs.  They work perfectly.  I don't need to use ear plugs with them, and I don't feel the other guns on the range or the lager guns I am shooting, and I can hear other shooters conversations over 5 lanes away.      I may not help your wife's problems but it fixed mine!   http://www.amazon.com/Walkers-Range-Shooting-Folding-Muff/dp/B00AW5YFOK   http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-R-01902-Electronic-Shooting-Earmuffs/dp/B007BGSI5U

  Not exactly. The new law only cites athletic facilities/fields in use by a school. Unless Memphis in May is held on the baseball diamond, schools being there in an official capacity are irrelevant.

Welcome to the cluster known as "the parks bill", brought to you by your friendly local "Republican" supermajority...

I almost always double up on my hearing protection when shooting my AR' s.

I agree. I think that would help a lot with the 16" barrel. I've never used electronic ears so I don't know how effective they are.

I have used a Noveske Pig in the past, and it worked excellent. Currently I have a Troy Claymore on my rifle & I'm loving it. Any linear comp should do exactly what you're needing it to do...

Last time I was out I used just rubber plugs, gave all the muffs I had to the kids and the sound wasn't bad at all. We were at an outdoor range, indoors hasn't been tried with just plugs.

I have the Levang and it works well to direct towards the front.

It should help tremendously. Electronic muffs are awesome, but most don't really have the dB reduction "horsepower" for rifle shooting. Plugs + electronic ears give you the best of both worlds.

Do you reload? If so a .300 is a great option I'm surprised hasn't been brought up. If you you reload and you should be able to make some subsonic rounds that will be easy on the ears even without a suppressor. 

I 2nd TrickyNicky's advice about the Kinetic-tec.

Also what barrel length are you using?

  Took the words right out of my...keyboard?   A 9mm carbine has the added bonus of being cheaper to shoot. And hey, who doesn't need another AR? 

Build or buy a 9mm carbine. Prices are really low on them right now. I recently seen a "kit" that had everything but the stripped lower for $550. That is what I did for my wife when she didn't like the concussion of a 223.   It is also a lot cheaper to shoot and a lot more reliable.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

What type of hearing protection were you using?

I second a flaming pig.

A barrel nut. Try no muzzle brake at all. All the gasses will go forward and not be redirected.

I'm not sure which one, but I know there are some. A more knowledgeable person than I will be along soon. However, I would like to <evil grin> with and for you! Hope in the meantime you get something to make it more enjoyable for her to keep shooting.

I have the same set up, it is fun to shoot.

No cigarette, but I did go in and fix them a Rum and Coke.  But they were gone and I had to drink it myself. . . 

    Funny thing, I have no clue, They are discharging me tomorrow, Ill be sent to a real nice Sheraton hotel I assume with the two private nurses my company hired for me,  I have heard i may have to stay anywhere from 3 to 16 days before i can fly. They are also sending a Doctor and Nurse to flly all the way to Nashville, Then I may have to be taken straight to Vanderbilt to see my new Cardiologist,   The nice thing about this is that my company spares no expense when it comes to my health and Happily they are picking up the tab for everything this may turn into   I am truly Blessed,

Agreed.  Great ideas are a dime a dozen.  Executing on those ideas to make a sustainable business is really hard.   As an old quote - often attributed to Thomas Edison says, "Opportunity is often missed because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work."   Or, as Calvin Coolidge said, "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

  I really dislike hearing people making excuses of why they aren't successful. Stories like the show that it's usually the fault of the man in the mirror, not someone else, for where one is in life.

Call Chance at Classic Arms in Cordova and see what he has in inventory. He's good people.

Very nice. I do favor the AK platform quite a bit.   But I only have 3. :surrender:

It's stories like this that make me realize how lucky I am to live in TN. Our gun laws are definitely not perfect, but they could clearly be worse. I hope this failed policy in MD was extremely costly for the state's taxpayers, because they elected the idiots that passed the law. Stupidity SHOULD be expensive.

They must be a hobby store. If you screw your customers this way regularly, pretty soon your business becomes a hobby to keep you out of the house.
