I'm shocked. Nashville wanted a liberal mayor and they got one. Give it a few years and it will be known as San Frannasville. It wasn't that many years ago Nashville was a pretty nice place.

This was just the low hanging fruit. There are people actively working to get the fairgrounds shut down and sold off to their buddies in real estate development. Any dollars that they can shave off the operating revenues to make the fairgrounds look worse financially is of benefit to their plans. I expect to see other things get the boot too, or they'll use the lost gun show revenue as an excuse to raise the rates for everyone else, sending smaller events like the toy train show, or the bead show off to cheaper pastures. Then that revenue stream dries up. Wash-rinse-repeat. They won't stop until we have condos on that land.

No one has addressed the real issue here, without Bill Goodmans, where can a fellow shopping plaza operator (that's mall ninja for you civilians) get his Chinese tacticrap, Pakistani knives and beef jerky?

  And that my friends is why you never try to reason with a woman. :wave:

  Rationalization is a beautiful thing... :pleased:

I am fine with the rain,  I am sick of it getting dark at 4:30.  That is making me loose my mind!

I quit drinking 35 years ago. I like to say it was for health reasons..........................My 2nd wife told me " If I came home drunk again she would kill me". I taught her to shoot, enough said.

That's ok Mrs Monkey, just go for it cause it appears most everyone here has your back so just how much can MonkeyMan say when you have so many people to blame it on............... :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:  

Sounds like a red herring to me.  As one "famous" commentator often says "Follow the money..."  That's what this is all about.  Metro government (and the real-estate developers) want the $$$ that redevelopment of the fairgrounds will provide.  Charging a substantial parking fee didn't discourage people.  Allowing income producing activities to operate there isn't supporting this plan either.  Plus they have financed expensive convention facilities that need paying activities to meet the bills.   If you don't like what Nashville is becoming spending your money outside "Metropolitan Nashville/Davidson County" is the most powerful protest you can make.  I recall very well when Nashville had a total hold on retail.  Remember when Church Street was the place?  Then the malls, several of which are about ghost towns today or have been converted to office/medical facilities.   With the development of retail/restaurants/etc. in the surrounding counties Metro Nashville is no longer the 8,000 pound gorilla that they still see themselves to be. 

Chronic Lurk-aholic.......... :rofl:   Did you do that Varmint? or did Macgyver do it?  Either way, that's a good one after reading you OP.

This could be a good thing. I was never a fan of the location, and I'm sure they'll find another venue rather quickly.

Today is the first day in over a week we've had temps above freezing- might see 33* today, lows have been 0-2. Accumulated about 6-8" of snow over the last 10 days or so as well but the wind is clearing it out. 50+ mph gusts today. So it's raining, you said? :lol:

Glad it isn't summer. Just think of how tall that grass would be. ;)

All legalities aside, I highly doubt any owner of a CNC mill will make time for you. Having run one for many years, I know first hand they stay running all the time. If they aren't making chips, they are costing the company money. Billing out anywhere from $100/hr to over $500/hr depending on the job and complexity, they don't have time for piddly little trifles. One shop I worked had a five axis machine that billed out more in an hour than I made after taxes in a week AND this was over 10 years ago.

Oh no, I've got plans with my new friends above! You're babysitting! LOL

If Bill Goodman doesn't mind coming to Dickson, I've got a 60,000 sq ft warehouse that I would love to put him in. If anybody knows how to contact them, I'd be interested. I've actually thought of doing a gun show myself but don't even know where to get started.

Everybody but liberal politicians and mainstream media's already pinged on the fact the entire clock incident was staged. I like the fifteen million dollars demand and written letters of apology to. Karma...it has an intresting way of manifesting itself.

That clears it up, you didn't order it ................You just bought it. :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rock:

Exactly.   This effort should be put towards drug sells and welfare fraud.

Well, he texted me the gun was in stock and price and asked if I wanted it and all I replied was "yes". So I didn't really officially order it, I just yes'd it.

If you didn't like going that's fine but RK and Goodman wouldn't be there unless some money was to be made. Our city just cut off a bunch of small businesses and got another win for the anti-gun crowd. I don't see the excitment.   Yeah, I know the city hates the fairgrounds and gun shows and wants to develop the area. At the rate of welfare benefits being handed out I wouldn't be surprised to see govt. housing planned for this area, then they can cover up whats really underneath the surface.

Well. at least you can't call us worthless..............We can always be used as bad examples!!!!!!!! :pleased:

I can't worry about a bunch of nutjobs and terrorists....especially to the point that they interfere with my life. All I can do is be diligent, armed and go about my life.

If gun shows had anything worth going for, I'd be upset about this.  But as it stands, this is like getting upset that banks have less people working as tellers when the ATM works just fine.

What followed you home this time?

My Santa shops this early ... My wife is always saying there isn't a "safe" way to combine two particular interests of mine ... guns and bourbon/whiskey. Well Santa had the right answer with his gift: whiskey bullets! And also a credit card survival tool I had mentioned in a thread some time back. I couldn't be more pleased with my Santa. He did a great job!! :) thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Clearly this matches me well. As for Monkey, sadly someone beat me to Yukon Cornelius for him. Given the fact that they're long lost brothers. LOL Also, I secretly wanted to use this one for myself because I laughed so hard I almost died.

Yes. The 80% lower bit has pretty much been good only for those selling them. JMO

Folks, we've all heard about the good rivers and trout streams that vein their way across the state of Tennessee and offer some very fine fishing opportunitys. I'm not going to give up many secrets here, but, there is some real good trout fishing opportunitys tucked away in the streams located on Fort Campbell Military base. One of the best being on the old Clarksville Base area. To trout fish Fort Campbell you will need a Tennessee or Kentucky Fishing license, Trout Stamp and a Fort Campbell Fishing permit. Area assignments are required and are obtainable at the MWR Hunting and Fishing Unit. PH (270)798-2175 The trout streams are stocked on a regular basis by the TWRA, USFWS and the Kentucky Department of WIldlife. TWRA and USFWS stock 700 to 800 pounds of Rainbow trout at the 3 release sites. These are hatchery fish from the Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery, and the average size trouts are 9-12 inch rainbows (a few are 14), 6-8 inch Brook Trout and some nice Browns. There are alot of "holdover" fish to be had, as many fish are escaping capture and are growing quite well, a few trout are showing up in the creel that are 19-24 inch. Very impressive! A few pics to share... A nice wadable section of stream. My Grandson on his first Trout Fishing outing. Here he is with his first ever Trout! A nice little Rainbow... A beauty! Just me.... I'll try to get some more posted later. Dave

3 criminal purchases in 30 years is a problem? How asinine. 

Btw, other parts of this NDAA version also remove ammo and components from the Toxic Substances Control Act and starts process of allowing military personnel to carry heat on base (subject to command decision).   Seems to me the ammo part is big, and removes all this from EPA control?   "SEC. 315. Exclusions from definition of “chemical substance” under Toxic Substances Control Act. Section 3(2)( B )(v) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2602(2)( B )(v)) is amended by striking “, and” and inserting “and any component of such an article (limited to shot shells, cartridges, and components of shot shells and cartridges), and”."   "SEC. 526. Establishment of process by which members of the Armed Forces may carry an appropriate firearm on a military installation. Not later than December 31, 2015, the Secretary of Defense, taking into consideration the views of senior leadership of military installations in the United States, shall establish and implement a process by which the commanders of military installations in the United States, or other military commanders designated by the Secretary of Defense for military reserve centers, Armed Services recruiting centers, and such other defense facilities as the Secretary may prescribe, may authorize a member of the Armed Forces who is assigned to duty at the installation, center or facility to carry an appropriate firearm on the installation, center, or facility if the commander determines that carrying such a firearm is necessary as a personal- or force-protection measure."   - OS

The trick is to know your limit.................. Then not get all :poop: faced before you reach it!!!!!!! :hiding:

I'd get one specific to the model.  You might have to order it, but there are plenty of options out there for that pistol - including one made by Desantis.   We're it me, I'd check out D.M. Bullard's offerings.

      Eric Holder gave them to me…. :)   Nah, I'm an 07/02 FFL/SOT (manufacturer of machine guns and suppressors).

Carry concealed and avoid the drama. Who needs it?

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

Sunday Evening. No sign of rut in the Wayne Co area but he still messed up. 110 yard shot.

Goofy 6 point and a doe both within an hour of each other. Been deer hunting for about two years and these are my first kills. What a thrill. Can't wait to eat them!

Yep, got the same packet. Been thinking about becoming a lifer too -  Just wish I could get them to promise to quit sending me so much CRAP if I do!   I do like the paypal and 11/11 idea.
