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.9 points

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.8 points

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?5 points

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.4 points

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:3 points

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.3 points

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:3 points

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.3 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

Exactly. This effort should be put towards drug sells and welfare fraud.2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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 Tapatalk2 points

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.

Suck on this Mayor; More Americans had their backgrounds checked purchasing guns on Black Friday than any day in the on record, according to data released by the FBI this week. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System processed 185,345 requests on November 27, one of the largest retail sales days in the country. "This was an approximate 5% increase over the 175,754 received on Black Friday 2014," wrote Stephen Fischer, the FBI's chief of multimedia productions. "The previous high for receipts were the 177,170 received on 12/21/2012." http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/12/01/black-friday-breaks-record-185k-gun-background-checks/76624604/1 point

I got to meet Trickynicky yesterday for a short but pleasant visit. He brought me a larger monitor I needed and we visited a few minutes. It was raining and he was kind of in a hurry but great guy for sure. He was in a hurry cause he was all packed up and moving to Atlanta and just stopped long enough to drop off the monitor. He said he will be back on site soon as he gets settled in Atlanta............. :up: :up:1 point

I know this idea will be a non-starter for the group here, but there is a fix for this that can keep the gun shows, and take away the liberal talking point of a "loophole" being present. TBI checks are $10. Whoever is responsible for putting on the gun show has to have an FFL, and say five computers to run checks on people who want to purchase a firearm at the show where they can charge the $10 there, or more if they want to recoup costs. See a gun you like, agree to buy it, then go to a counter near the front, get your check, and have a confirmation number that can be put on block 21b of the 4473, and that gun, and any others you buy at the show can be on the same 4473. Not saying I'd advocate it or want it mandated, but I'm a big fan of taking an opponents gripe and proposing a solution they can't talk around.1 point

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. My oldest is a huge fan, because dad got him to watch them, but thats another story. I plan on taking him, but even if there was not the crap going on and the state of the world, we would not be going until a week/ten days after it comes out and then only to a matinee. For several reasons, I HATE crowds and there always seems to be a ahole making noise or on their phone or some such if there are more than a handful of people in the theater, and the matinee is cheaper although it will still cost us $20. So to answer the question, I would not be surprised to hear something happened opening night/ weekend, and probably by some nutjob that wants to hear his name as opposed to a terrorist attack.1 point

I heard this super cool and PC religious club called ISIS is giving them out for free all you have to do is renounce your God and your citizenship! The Caliphate doesnt have Form 4s either.
