Carrying a firearm on someone else's property is not a right, Constitutional or otherwise. It is a privilege extended to the guest by the property owner. This has been common law since the Magna Carta. As far as in laws go I would put it on him to be the bad guy. I would let him and her know that you carry to protect yourself AND them. Then tell them that if they insist that you still not carry in their house then tell that is not possible and that you prefer they come up your house instead.

You've already answered your own question. How you choose to protect yourself and your family is no ones business but your own. If you're carrying concealed no one is the wiser. Me being me however, I would probably have to open carry around them just to watch their heads explode. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing screams heirloom like a Smith and Wesson revolver. A quality 1911 would be second but not by much. I still have the first gun I hunted with on my own, an old Stevens rolling block 22. Killed a ground hog when I was probably 8. Spent the day trying to get close enough and finally got him. Although it is in really rough shape, 8 year olds don't really clean, it is the most important gun to me.

My son missed a 8pointer last Saturday, made good this morning.

Well, supersonic 300BO works well on deer. I've been reluctant to build me an upper until I saw what this one would do I built my dad. He took this one a few minutes ago at around 75 yards. It took one step and dropped DRT. Ignore the funky long muzzle brake thing. It's something he made that he thinks looks cool lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Carry concealed and avoid the drama. Who needs it?

What if my level of feeling protected by a gun is complicated by their views of them being anti gun and I have to be around them. In a perfect world I would choose to be around like minded people but I'm talking about a few family members who are liberal and yes its my brother and his wife. Do I conceal and not let them know I carry or do I just leave it in my vehicle until I leave? I'm leaning toward not telling them as if it is concealed then nobody should know but me.

I just happened to be driving through Nashville today and there just so happens to be two Dick's just off the interstate (the sporting goods store). Scored 4 Federal Champion 525 bulk packs. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!

Just going to put this here.

Bingo

First, I am NOT affiliated with this guy in any way. I'm always looking for nice, better ways to store reloads. I've been through lots of options from bulky and difficult to store plastic boxes, to home made boxes, you name it. I found this guy by chance while digging around the web. He's right here middle TN too, so your money stays local. I just ordered a pack of 9mm boxes and .308's. The pistol ammo boxes are made like the old WWII era 45 ball ammo boxes. (50) rounds upright with leafs that fold over and inside. Looks good to me, we will find out. For anyone interested, I'll post a little review when my order comes in. http://www.repackbox.com

Nothing about feeling unsafe, visited my brother last month. 17 miles from the nearest town. I carried the whole time. He doesn't mind but his girlfriend is totally anti, I told him from the start that I am who I am and I'm too dang old to change now. He agreed but said she might say something, which she didn't. I'm sorry but in today's climate with all the crazy shooting going on, I'd rather piss someone off than take a chance on someone catching me unarmed. Heck, I've got 2 in my bathroom, 1 my wife can get to and one nobody knows about but me. Staying armed is a way of life, if I'm expected to accept having the gay lifestyle shoved down my throat then they can expect me to stand my ground about my God given rights. Stepping down off the soapbox now.

  At 84 years old many are not going to embrace the digital age... They simply want/need POWER, VOLUME, CHANNEL

He is 84 years old, and has killed 3 deer this season.  If it makes him happy, then who cares.   BTW, he stays in the woods 3-4 days at a time. Can't hunt post sundown.

My only suggestion is to stay out of the woods. Really, a TV?

Don't show me your ____ and I will not show you my ____...

OK

Yep... it is time.  :)

It's a good show, although the basic premise is not very plausible, i.e. the D-Day landings fail and that somehow leads to the complete victory in WWII of both Germany and Japan.  Having said that, a lot of very good shows require a great deal of "suspension of disbelief", this doesn't keep many, including myself, from enjoying the show ...

I'm in.

  It's a woman thing buddy. My wife can do a better job spending...uh, I mean saving than I tell her I do on guns and ammo.

I saw some trail cam pics of Bigfoot last year. I believe they came out of Smith County.

OS?      :popcorn:

Nothing yet. I am trying to buy my Humminbird Helix 7 SI but the website is struggling. I did fish today and caught 13 striper, 3 crappie and a nice Large mouth today. 

Maybe not a killer deal, but got a below retail price on the new PPQ45. I'm happy with it. Now if I just had it in hand. Edit. Hopefully will have it by this coming Wednesday. But with the season shipping and all the BF shopping...?

I guess they are legal to kill since they don't exist! Nice pic!

This problem was created by the customers, not the airlines. People complain flights are too expensive, so airlines go ala cart to give more choice. Then people say the airlines are nickel and diming. Cheap doesn't mean value. Too many people expect first class service on a cargo ticket.

Their house, their rules. Respect their domain and they should respect yours. If either of you can't show that respect, don't go. This is their house, not just a social gathering.

I would go with a tablet over a television. You can get a Kindle for less than $50, if his phone can be used as a hotspot, or he buys a hotspot he might be looking at $100 total, with a monthly reoccurring fee of up to $50 for more than enough streaming to watch whatever he wants. Throw in a $10 a month Netflix, and while it might be semi expensive, the utility will be unsurpassed. And much better than trying to get signal with a set of rabbit ears deep in the woods. Speaking of, since they went all digital, wouldn't he be looking at a higher cost anyways? Many carriers offer free data for certain streaming providers, such as Netflix, meaning he could get a basic ~$20 plan and not pay for any of the data used for streaming Youtube or movies.   Now, if he is talking about a VCR (since we are talking old tech like TV anyways, ;) ) you are going higher out of pocket with a $200 television and a $100 media player, than you would with the above plan, you your aren't incurring data storage issues such as you would if you were going stone age with no internet.   If it were me, I would just get a mobile hotspot/phone enabled hotspot and a basic tablet.   Which is what I have done. It makes road trips so much easier for music (why use XM when you can stream iHeart or similar for free) or take DVDs for a mobile player when you can stream Netflix. The days of 'Are we there yet?' are nonexistent when she is watching movies in the backseat.   While some might see this as the lazy alternative, I fully embrace the digital age, I predict two generations will completely end physical media beyond a novelty or collector status. I do however prefer private storage methods over the cloud. 

You dont need an inverter. Bestbuy's line of Insignia tv's (the small ones, ours is a 19") are 12 volt already. Just look at the back, it will have a round plug that goes into the tv from the power cord. Not all small tv's do this which is why I specifically mentioned the insignia brand. It was the only one I could findl that does this. I did it for the same reason in our camper.

I would list the characteristics of your loved one, and match those up to the gun.    Example, was he into classics or cutting edge, did he like to hunt or shoot, was he a big man (then 45), was he rugged, or well refined.................

  I look at it this way as long a liberal does not show me his azz then I have no need to show them my dick....

I tell everybody they can take me as I am or learn to deal with it.

I think a good quality 1911 would be awesome. If I have kids I already determined I'd like to pass down something like this Dan Wesson. This can be purchased for around $1,200.

Me too...

About 10-12 years ago I got in on a group buy and picked up three EOTech 512s at a really great price. One went on a rifle right then and is still in use.. One has been on several different rifles over the years and currently sits atop my Socom 16.. The third, still new in the box, was used as partial payment on a rifle I bought last year and I was credited 1 1/2 times what I paid for it.  All three still work perfectly. I understand that real battlefield conditions can be hard on equipment and failures do occur. But for my uses, the EOTechs have done very well.  So rather than just saying EOTechs suck, I think the real issue here is that the company hid a known problem.  

Come on ...... More ....

Done!

It might be that the officer may not want his nice gesture known to all his fellow officers so I would try and see a way to make gift card that he can use personally and just say Thank you for your kindness to so-n-so in a Christmas card. Wait until a time when he can be approached and hand it to him, say thanks and walk away. A Prepaid Visa Gift card might be nice in a card..............just my :2cents: 

I'll echo the email to the boss. I see a lot of cops in our local Cracker Barrel, gift card there wouldn't be bad. Use it to eat with or if you don't like their food, buy a family gift in the store.

I am not sure they could do a second season.     And that made me think that the Axis did not win, that the war only went as we know it to have gone.  And maybe Tagomi was imaging a reality that the show presented.   Why were the Americans collecting the movies and sending them to "the man in the high castle"  ( calling him that so as to not ruin that for people who did not watch yet.)   I really found it all confusing and want to re watch it.   If anyone is into revisionist history then read books by Harry Turtledove.   I have read a lot of his work and the books are impossible to put down.  Guns of the South was impossible to put down and is a stand alone book.  He also did a series that had the South winning the war and WW2 playing out in north America.

I still like my Eotech.  One of the few red dots I can see reasonably well given my astigmatism.  

A couple of weekends ago I had a puncture in a tire that could not be repaired. It was a Cooper CS4 that I didn’t know at the time had been discontinued. I was out going to places and couldn’t believe that some tire stores were closed on Saturday. I bought the tires at Sears but they didn’t have them in stock, they said they could order it. I needed it that day. The wife was calling around and called Discount Tire, they told her they could order it and when she told them I needed it that day; they told her to tell me to come in and they would put a used tire on that would be safe until the new tire came in; that’s what they did. Tires are like guns to me; I know what I want and it’s just a matter of finding the best price on that particular item. I replace my tires every 50K, so next time I will find out if they have the best price. They told me on Saturday the tire would be there Wednesday; it didn’t come in until the following Monday. That pissed me off a little until I found out it was discontinued; so I guess that’s okay.

Horse hucky. I don't know that I'd try to go for machine gun like double bass hits, but I don't see you as the heavy metal type anyway :D. If your expectation is to have fun and develop, I can't see how anyone would be too old to start or restart an instrument IMO.
