I blame the US Supreme Court. Just a few years ago we'd have never had a story about two Johnsons fighting over a cock.

I swear, it's a rule that no thread on TGO can exist without going gay.

I have had an idea in mind for a while now using an old, used trash can.  Use the bottom third or half for storage of some items you want to "hide in plain sight" like a store of ammo or communications equipment or an emergency fund.  Then on top pile scrap wood or other non-organic garage scrap, chunks of drywall etc.  Tuck it away in your garage or basement.  If someone breaks in to your house, it is likely they won't pillage the old trash can with all the junk and you will at least have some ammo as back up in a worst case scenario.  I have done something similar to this technique but using old paint cans.  I put layers of ammo in the cans, then put a piece of cardboard on top of the ammo and then piled old screws and nails on top. 

I just got to spend a little time talking with TN-popo today. Great guy for sure. Enjoyed meeting him and talking about things. Hope to get to spend more time with him talking about things in the future...... :up: :up:

Why would you bring up Natural Light in a conversation about beer? That's like bringing up Rosie O' Donnel in a conversation about women.

I have recently acquired another JMB design. This particular gun's serial number puts it in the 1908-1909 production. It is chambered in 25 auto. Can't wait to shoot it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I firmly believe a shotgun should have two barrels, but the OP asked about a semi auto.

That's a great site. I found that when I was getting ready to install our aquarium. It sits about 12" from a load bearing exterior wall, but I put support like this directly under it anyway, just because I'm anal like that. It wasn't the easiest thing to do in my 30" crawlspace, but it was a lot easier than fixing it once it's sagged.

Todd is one of the best dudes on the board, bar none. :-)

Got a stack of tools in the corner of your garage? Need em organized?   Got some scrap lumber? If you've got enough light lumber (2x2's, plywood, etc) , you could build a rack to keep long handled tools in it, stored upright.   Take the lid off, and insert the rack. BOOM. Your shovels, rakes, garden hoes, etc are all stored upright, Spaced out evenly (with good rack design, that's your job!) they'll be easy to use and put back. Plus you can roll the whole thing to wherever in the yard if you just want all the tools with you at once.   Not as awesome as having them mounted flat on a wall, but likely better than just all leaning in a corner.

    People think that.  On another very large forum for firearm enthusiasts one member made a bet in general he could not be found based on what information he believed was available to anyone searching for him.   Within 45 minutes he had gotten an email from another member with his name address and phone number.   Don't think the internet is anonymous to someone who knows how to look.

Man I hate to see stuff like this...

I live about 4 miles from the cemetery, so I am going to try to be there if work will allow me the brief time away.

That's completely understandable. But a chicken?

Aww, cut him a little slack on that one. That homerun was set up better than Mark McGwire playing Tball.

    It's not quite 9am, but you win the internet today.   :rofl:

This is why I believe a person's rights should be restored when they are released from prison. If you have served your time, you have served your time. If you haven't, why are they releasing you from prison in the first place?

Got my new rifle all together today. It's a 25-45 Sharps MSR. Upper is SRC 25-45 Sharps with 20" stainless Hbar barrel rifle gas system Hand gard is Diamondhead VRS T Bolt & carrier is SRT Reliabolt NIB coated Lower Anderson manufacturing stripped lower PSA LPK DPMS A2 rifle stock and buffer

    Same. Doubly so for anything involving the Irish Mob, some interesting stories to be told I'm betting. I bet it's good, Whitey was a vicious killer and Depp is a great actor. 

  :ugh: Reminds me of my brother up in Essex Illinois. He is a Browning Shotgun collector mostly but does have many other brands of guns he has collected over the many years he has been doing this. He began construction on his new home just about the same time they began tearing down the Old Joliet Branch bank. He actually purchased the vault from the old bank and they placed it directly in the middle of his basement and proceeded to build his 4500 square foot house around it. This safe (vault) has built in equipment to make sure nothing will rust or mold or anything else. Twice since they have moved into the house it has suffered Tornado damage and they just get in the safe and ride it out. The house has been rebuilt twice around this bank vault. I think he did an over kill at times and then other times I wonder if he would have survived the tornado's without it............... :shrug:  Maybe if I had his money I would have done something similar. :whistle:

Am I allowed to be offended by the derogatory use of the word redneck? I'm not a member of a minority (yet) so Im guessing the answer is no.

I have a leaf vacuum with a long hose and an adapter for a trash can. I use a trash can with wheels to collect the shredded leaves as they are vacuumed, then use the leaves as mulch and compost material. The wheels make moving around the yard easier. The vacuum came with a small cloth bag that fills up fast; the trash can takes longer to fill up. Shredded leaves compact and compost much better than just whole leaves.

+1 to JeffL's shed. I swear you'll think you've travelled so far into East Nashville that you ought to be in Wilson Co., but it's worth the drive.

My pocket carry is a 32 Seecamp. Works for me.

Where everything goes just right! I finally figured out why my 1885 didn't like cast boolits. The expander plug in my die was too small & was compressing the less bullet in the case to the point it wouldn't obturate to bore size. Half an hour if test loading got me 22 consecutive hits on a 24" tall by 12" wide plate at 600yds. I also shot my first deliberate group at 1000yds with my 6.5x55. The wind was tough to read, but I managed an 8" 3 shot group. Not world being, but good enough that I'm still grinning!

Here's an older one that's still quite good.

I've owned and occasionally carried a NAA Guardian in .380 for many years. Definitely not a target gun and nasty to shoot -- the front of the trigger guard smacks my fat trigger finger during recoil. Built like a brick, reliable and very concealable. Don't carry it often, but I haven't sold it either. PS- I carried it in my back pocket during a very hot, very humid, very active and outdoors Tennessee summer. It doesn't rust. Ever. Hear that, Sig-Sauer?

The Kahr CM40 is very close to that size, but you can get it in .40S&W.

My LCP has been reliable and easy to carry.

http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/90759-woman-bought-her-a-new-one/   pretty sure they make that in 380

And you are TOTALLY missing the point of the conversation. Over and over. You have a CHOICE when it comes to credit. You can choose to extend yourself and get into debt. Or you can be a millionaire (my parents) and get tons of free stuff at no expense to you, simply for using plastic instead of carrying around $15k in cash all the time. (I have a funny story of Dad paying for a pair of jetskis in small bills because the salesman pissed him off. Took dude almost 2 hrs to count it all, haha!) Sure, you don't NEED a credit card to pay for airplane tickets. You can pay in cash or check. Some folks, who are smart enough to realize and use the advantages afforded to them at no cost simply don't have to pay for them. At. All. Before GM put low limits on their cash rebates towards vehicles, my Dad regularly got anywhere from another $3k-7k off the new Tahoe he bought with cash every 2 years, simply for using a GM card for his business expenses. He did not buy things he shouldn't have because he had a credit card, he simply used that instead of cash or check whenever he gassed up work vehicles, bought tools or meals. He needed gas, tools, and food regardless of the payment method. You can enjoy an aversion to credit, but facts are facts. You keep saying that if you use a credit card you are paying interest. Do you understand that that is not necessarily true? If I buy $1k worth of stuff, and then pay my card off in full within the usual 20-30 days from the statement date, I only pay them the $1k. Nothing more. That is the key to the whole mystery. As for the 20% downpayment for a house: congrats! That's great! Very happy you had the ability to do that! When my wife and I bought our house one year after college, we did not have almost $40k in the bank for a down payment. What we did have were excellent credit histories and solid jobs at the time. We got a rate just one quarter of one percent over prime. An excellent rate no matter your financial situation. As rates came down we refinanced again, and now to a 15 year loan and are shaving quite a bit off the back of that as well. Our cars are also paid for. The breakdown in this logic that credit causes debt is just as blatant as the sad, pathetic, and just plain stupid idea that Moms Demand Action and their ilk push... they say guns cause crime, and if we remove guns from people, crime will stop. The FBI proves that to be a lie. It is generally the IMPROPER USE of guns by people who should not have them in the first place that causes nearly all firearm crime. Similarly it is the IMPROPER USE of credit by people who are ill-equipped to handle the responsibility or by people who just shouldn't have it at all that gets people in debt. (Housing crisis, anyone?) Greed, instant gratification, sometimes a feeling of hopelessness and a lack of understanding of compound interest are the problems. Not available credit. Credit cards are tools just like firearms, hammers, and cars. Making mistakes with any of them can cost you. I won't call anyone a fool who properly uses a hammer.

  When you build, just have a safe room added. Call it a panic room for the construction crew. Or even a tornado room.  They don't need to know either.   If I ever get out of here and build, not likely, I will have one added.

I've held memberships to both ranges that you mentioned. Charlie Haffner only has 12 thru 100 yard rifle and pistol ranges. On the plus side, they're open throughout the day all week and have ample number of lanes so you probably won't have any trouble finding an available lane. However, If you're a "Tactical shooter" I can't recommend this particular range as they strongly discourage repeated followup shots and will warn you to only fire single shots. If that's your thing, Maury Co. Gun Club is going to be more to your liking. It's a little ride out there but they're very "accommodating" to tactical and full auto fire. To boot, their rifle range is set up for sighting in at 50, 100 & 200 yards. On the down side, MCGC is only open weekends 1:00 pm to dark. Both of these ranges require membership. However, I'm confident that they'll allow you temp access for a nominal fee to try them out. If you're not interested in paying an annual membership fee then you're probably going to be out of luck unless you can meet a member who'll invite you as a "guest" for a daily fee, or find someone that will allow you to shoot on their private land.

  I'm pretty sure that's standard practice.  check with your homeowners insurance and see if they have any coverage or additional you can buy.  I would get coverage of some kind, but just make sure the policy is worth buying.

Definitely no Georgia laws; wonder if it was an employee trying to fill the air (i.e., pulling an explanation out of their butt).  They should just be instructed to say it is company policy.  How hard can that be?

You could just buy another Mosin for what you will pay to have them clean it.

Rain storage was my first thought as well.

I never consider Crisco as a liquid as I come from a Wesson Oil family.  I'd like to see someone slather on some regular Crisco on their AR, you know, the solid kind.

There is someone laying in a morgue right now because he/she was not paranoid enough.

Dont forget that most pawn shops in and around Nashville are actually gun shops in disguise  :rofl:

  Yup, as long as lower court decision stands as the exemplar, already gone.   - OS

This needs to be watched.  Could have serious ramifications if left unchecked.

I don't even go to my mail box out by the road without a gun and my hand on it in my pocket.   I have known of folks getting robbed while out cutting their grass. There is really no where that is actually safe anymore. Robbers are getting more brave these days. I'm just glad no one was hurt in that one.............jmho

When you are stopped for a traffic violation, that is an arrest and a release upon your giving your written promise to appear at the stipulated time and place to answer the charges. i.e. your signature. That's why traffic tickets aren't labeled "Traffic Ticket.' They're labeled "Notice to Appear.", "Promise to Appear." "Traffic Summons," and so on. That's also why you have to go to jail if you refuse to sign the ticket in a lot of states - you've refused to give your promise to appear and the law requires a physical arrest under that circumstance.   The best advice I can give you is cooperate now and complain to the officer's supervisor later.
