Welcome, for a minute there I thought we had our first Kenyan member.

  If I had my way, that would get you 6 months free benefactor membership. :D

At the risk of getting a warning from the mods......Hillary Clinton can kiss my ass.......no really.

  That's what "everybody" said about his reelection bid in '12, too.   - OS

This is a nice little graduation present for a fellow TGO member's son. 1095 carbon steel with black scales and orange liners as requested by the customer.

Well, too bad Kwik doesn't have a carry permit any more, perfect venue for him to open carry.   - OS

Funny how only some minorities matter to some people...

The article is a wee bit dated...June 2014...   But still, no big surprise out of that old bat...I tend to ignore anything she says, makes life a bit easier...:)

I used to be that way, until one of those yellow jackets stung me in the face. Now, if I can kill them, I will.

That boy just ain't right.

It's moving!  It has left Knoxville and is supposed to be here tomorrow!

It's a fun hobby.

Have you got a target revolver yet? If you need sights on a J-frame…. Don’t take the shot.

38/357 is easier to reload IMO. No special crimp die needed. Most folks just use the bullet seating/crimping die that come in the three die set . Go with carbide dies for sure.

IF she's right then so be it.  We'll just start our own southern anti-leftwingtreehugginhippe group.  Ragheads can have jihad, we can have YeeHawd.

My first handgun I carried last year was a HighPoint 380. This year it's a Diamondback Full Size 9mm.  Have shot both at the range many times without a single FTF, FTE or misfire.  Being over 70 I don't really care what people think about me or what I have anymore.  :rofl:

  They're both right. Without 1307 saying it's ilegal, then it's OK, which makes dawgdoc right. But because 1307 exists, then you have a myriad of exceptions and defenses, OhShoot is right.   In Tennessee with regard to firearms laws, the philosophical approach expressed by dawgdoc is not the safest way to go about things. You don't go looking for firearms laws in TN saying you can't do something and if it doesn't exist then you can. 1307 more or less slams that door and means you have to go looking for things which the law says you  can do.

Lol

Makes you wanna just hide your gun and not worry about all this pettiness

  I'm afraid you have that backwards when it comes to firearm laws here.   TN starts out with the premise in 39-17-1307 that it's illegal to possess a loaded firearm, period. Then adds a litany of defenses, affirmative defenses, and exceptions which allow one to deviate from that.   Most states do indeed start with the "all is legal" except for this and that and the other thing, and TN does also with many areas of the code, but not loaded firearms. That's one of the reasons we've had such a problem prying firearm freedoms back I do believe, because of that philosophical mindset that's been there since the late 1800's, that all was because of Jim Crow legislation to begin with, and got into our very state Constitution.   Note that having an HCP is still technically only a "defense" to 1307, not even an "exception". Hell, even the long time coming possession in vehicles is now stronger, as it is an "exception".   - OS

So far, from what I have read, the shooter, who was not GZ, may be stalking him.  He has already accused GZ of road rage before, which apparently wasn't true.  The headlines make it sound like GZ shot at someone, but it looks like the opposite is true.  The police have said that GZ didn't shoot at anyone.   There is a picture of GZ's truck with a dark-tinted passenger window with a bullet hole in it; it doesn't seem believable that GZ supposedly waved a gun at the other driver, then rolled up his window, and then the shooter shot at GZ because he felt threatened at that point.  Sounds like a guy who shot at GZ and then concocted a story that he knew people wanted to believe.

Laws don't allow things, they make them illegal.  A simple way to put it is that everything is legal until a law makes it illegal (prohibited).  Therefore you won't find a phrase that open carry is "allowed."  You also won't find a phrase that open carry of a handgun with a valid permit is prohibited, either.  Therefore it is legal.   That is my simple view of the matter.

That old Hag has more murders on her hands than 99.9% of the American public does!

I don't believe GZ should be in prison, I do believe the man is an idiot of extreme proportions. 

Huh? Someone attempted to murder the guy and it's his fault???

If you're wanting AR parts, a complete AR, ammo for an AR, etc., Now is the time you'll soon be wishing you could go back to, where the stuff is plentiful and cheap. Don't let it slip by.

Awesome time, very fun stages. It was nice to get to meet you jumprun13k.

Didn't realize you were a pipe smoker too. We'll have to meet up for a pipe and range day.

Some shops will install sights for free if you buy the sights from them.

Mine is a Lee but it does say to completely fill and then empty the hopper via throwing and it will bleed off any static that can mess with proper regulating.

We were out today and talking to someone about the knives GT made for us. I whipped mine out of my bag to show the person and the look on Monkey's face was hilarious. Evidently he didn't expect me to carry it everywhere I go. But I do, it's AWESOME.

Nice, interesting and ergonomic looking knife.  Great work as always.  Looks like you have really developed your kydex sheath making skills, as well!

NOPE!!!   I do not care what you call them! I want them all dead... if they are somehow beneficial.. so be it ,but be beneficial somewhere else..   Sucks having to carry an Epi -pen around as it is..I do not need these around me ... :ugh:

George Zimmerman is the gift that keeps on giving for the anti-gun crowd. 

Actually yes, the ones made now look significantly better than the earliest ones manufactured and sold. Think along these lines, form follows function. Then think along the lines of maximizing profit while maintaining or even improving reliability. That blowback action pot metal slide mass thing really works. HPA got it right and I hope they continue to stay in business and we continue to poke playfully admiring fun at them. 

Yep, but I'll bite.   TCA can be found here. It's pretty well updated, but sometimes a brand new law or change to an existing law can take a few weeks to be published there: https://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/tncode/   Weapons laws are generally under 39-17-13, but because an HCP is a defense to a violation of a law, you have to "stack" them to see how they all work together. 39-17-1307 is where it's against the law to carry a firearm. 39-17-1308 is the list of defenses to 1307 (essentially people or situations to whom 1307 doesn't apply). It lists persons permitted under 39-17-1351 as in its special group of people. 39-17-1351 is the HCP portion which describes who can get one and how to do it.   There's more to it as you can see by looking at just how many statutes are under the 39-17-13 section, but it's late and I'm tired. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to fill in the gaps and expound on that.

Most likely .

What political gain? Zimmerman should be in prison.

Used to do leather work many years ago. Mostly leather carving, I still have the tools and stamps and your welcome to them if your ever near Chattanooga. Just send me a PM. Tandy leather is a good place to start.

1) because the media knows that blogs like this one will spread their narrative by jumping to conclusions and false assumptions. 2) as soon as his name comes across the police scanner there are numerous reporters chomping at the bit to add to the slandering. Just his turn like many others before him. But I do agree that he needs to disappear, maybe move to another country. .

Misleading title. Shot "AT," not shot.   There's a difference.

Living in Mt. Juliet off and on my entire life I can't say that I've ever really felt that I was in any danger anywhere here. Times are quickly changing around here though.

I know snakes have a very important role to play and I would NOT wanna deal with the rat and mice problem were all snakes to vanish.......but the only good snake is a dead snake. I may not be "scared" of them but I hate the dam things. One good thing about snakes, they actively avoid humans, noise and high traffic areas. I'm with snakes like I am most other things in life I hate, stay away from me and I'll stay away from you. Peace through defined boundaries.

I felt like a pervert for watching them. They eat mice and I hear they will keep poisonous snakes away. 

Cut and dremel the A2 down? Nothing's more secure than a pinned gas block.

Took the kids on a little hike in the GSMNP yesterday. Forgot the real camera so I took a few shots with my phone. Fiddled around with the camera app editing software to give them a "vintage" look while grilling hot dogs after we got back home. Thought they turned out fairly well....
