  1. Ok, my views are pretty much as stated by the op's post. One thing most of this country cannot seem to grasp is the the doctrine of Muhammad states that all's fair, and I mean ALL, in dealing with the infidels. The infidel is one not of the Muslim followers. And we, as the Great Satan, are #1 on the long term list of to-be conquered lands.   This allows, no says and commands. that lying, cheating, deception, killing, and enslavement is the method to deal with all infidels. Meaning us. Anyone who does not accept the will of allah. (I will not capitalize it, because allah is not our God.)   The end goal of the muslim faith is the enslavement or destruction of all that does not conform and submit to Muhammad and Shariah law and government.   It is that simple. You can twist it around anyway you wish. You can take your touchy-feely liberal thoughts and suggestions and scream them to the high heavens and it will not change a thing.   The goal of Muhammadism is the enslavement and destruction of all that is not muslim.   Done. That's my opinion, and some will not agree. That is your prerogative.

  3. A Prius requires gas, this does not.  Apples and oranges really.  I never understood why people care so much about what other people want to spend their own money on.  It comes across as jealousy even if it isn't intended.  If you don't want one, don't buy one.

  5. Except the base tenants of Old and New Testament teachings completely disagree with you. The Bible teaches to give to Caesar what it's Caesar's, to submit to the governing authorities, regardless of who they are while maintaining your faith, and to live at peace with everyone if possible. Diametrically at odds with the base tenants of Islam. Your apologist morally equivalency is more than just a little wrong.

  6. If I had $100K to spend on a car, I'd consider a Tesla.  I think they're a cool concept.  This biggest issue with the electric car concept is performance, Telsa proved it can be done.  Innovation has to start somewhere.  20 years from now these things may go 2K miles, or not, who knows.   They're still powered by fossil fuels, just indirectly.

  7. Of course, the very same thing could be said for Christians.    Theologically, No. Their allegiance is to Jesus and not the Constitution.   Religiously, No. No other religion is accepted. Jesus said "I am -the- way, -the- truth and -the- light. As pastors love to point out, he didn't say one of many.    Scripturally, No. His allegiance is to Christianity, God's laws and church doctrine. I remember hearing numerous pastors preach about following God's law, even when it conflicts with the laws of the world. Kim Davis was an example of this, breaking the law because of what she believed.   Geographically*, No.  His allegiance is to Israel, for Yahweh is the God of Israel. Many Christians make a pilgrimage to the holy land every year, and a large portion of Christianity takes it's marching orders directly from The Vatican.    Socially, No. Christianity teaches to be in the world, but not of the world. That's a fairly clear directive that Christians should 'maintain their distance' so to speak.    Politically, No. Again, Christians are instructed to follow God's law above all others. When they vote to enact legislation based of the Bible, they are forcing their religious beliefs and morals onto everyone. While they haven't yet required people to pray the sinner's prayer or go to jail, forcing others to behave in accordance with your interpretation of religious right and wrong by making it law is conversion by force, no different than forcing someone to convert at gunpoint.    Domestically, No. Christians are instructed that adulterous wives, heretics, blasphemers, etc should be stoned to death. They are also allowed to keep slaves, but instructed to be good masters.    Intellectually, No. Christians cannot accept the Constitution because it does not follow God's laws. It is based on principles that can be found in the Bible, but can also be found in the texts used by a wide variety of religions and societies all the way back to Hammurabi's Code. Christians feel they must control the country by limiting everything not specifically spelled out in the Constitution in accordance with their religion.    Philosophically, No. Christianity does not allow freedom of religion, as it says it is the only way. Christians have fought numerous battles to have their religious symbols placed in government buildings.    Spiritually, No. The Pledge of Allegiance was originally written to say "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". Christians were not okay with such a secular pledge and in 1954 managed to have the words "Under God" added to it.        *Geographically? How can anyone be a geographically good anything?  :bowrofl:

  8. I know plenty of people that obey the laws, they are Americans; I wouldn’t call them “good” Americans. I’m sure there are Muslims in this country that mean us no harm. I am also sure there are Muslims that want to kill us for no reason other than religious beliefs. It’s just a warning sign. But then we continually ignore warning signs from home grown American non-Muslims that want to kill us.

  10. Can a Muslim be a good American?   This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:   Theologically - no, because his allegiance is to Allah.   Religiously - no, because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Qur'an 2:256).   Scripturally - no, because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Qur'an.   Geographically - no, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.   Socially - no, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.   Politically - no, because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders) who teach the annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan.   Domestically - no, because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat his wife when she disobeys him (Qur'an 4:34).   Intellectually - no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.   Philosophically - no, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur'an does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist! Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.   Spiritually - no, because when we declare 'one nation under God,' we are referring to the Christian's God and not Allah.   Therefore, after much study and deliberation, perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans/Canadians; they cannot and will not integrate into the great melting pot of America. .The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. Muslims everywhere have said they will destroy us from within."

  11. I've got a buddy that is in town before his next deployment. He mentioned he wanted to get his HCP while here and asked where he could get in a class on short notice. I let him know that i thought he would be exempt from the class due to military training. I also told him there is some sort of discounted rate but i couldn't remember the exact amount.   He went to the DMV on WEDNESDAY, March 30th. They took a look at his credentials and certification letter from his commanding officer and then charged him $60 for processing. They did not really tell him when to expect the permit or if the certification letter would exempt him from the class.   In the mail TODAY--APRIL 4th-- he received his HCP. 4 BUSINESS DAYS!! Seems like it takes longer than 4 days to get a letter to Knoxville from NE TN.   Anyway, hats off to the state. I'm impressed. :hat:

  14. The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the episode.   I love how they showed Rick all cocky and feeling tough early. He'd just whooped some Saviour a$$, got out unscathed, and showed them who was boss. He drove away from the first roadblock feeling all magnanimous, like he'd just spared their lives. Each subsequent roadblock he felt more scared, less in control, and more blocked in. They abandoned the RV STILL thinking they'd out-smarted Negan only to find out they'd been played the whole time and had been herded like sheep straight to the wolves.   When he was captured by the Terminus cannibals, he was all righteous and tough, but he's finally met a vastly superior foe. Rick was broken by the end and helpless.

  16. If you want to get really upset do a GOOGLE and ask how many mosques have been built in the U.S. the last 10 years then check the figure on how many are in Tennessee.   Its not Isis Christians are worried about its the so called friendly Muslims that will take over.  Most people have no idea what their intent is. Most have their head in the sand.  Do you have any idea how many are working in our Government?  After Hillary gets in she will get 2 or maybe 3 supreme court  judges and then the parties over.   She WILL get our guns take my word.  The Constitution will be down the drain.

  18. Good post Ron, that's why I carry a 1911. I'm not worried about thugs, I try to stay out of their territory. Islam has proclaimed death to America and Israel all of my lifetime. Muslims have invaded America and my territory. I recognize my enemy, I'm proud to be an Infidel. I think it's clear that WW III is going to be about islam, it'll be based around the Euphrates River, that's 100% muslims.

  21. I have the opportunity to buy several older guns,Walthers mod ppk 765 and a mauser mod hsc 765 are the one's that interest me the most. They both have the original leather holsters but are far from mint. Best I can tell they run 200 to 800. Does that sound right to you guys? Are they worth messing with? I could probably get them for 200 or 300.

  22. That is one of several options to qualify. You do not necessarily have to operate a business and certainly you can be in the start up stage where you have no income but anticipate future income. https://www.tn.gov/assets/entities/revenue/attachments/f1308401.pdf I strongly recommend bringing the form i person to the TN Dept of revenue as there will be a guarantee that some stupid thing wont be to their liking and you can solve the issue on the spot vs mailing back and forth.

  31. Prior to the last election I confiscated most of a case of Thunderbolts from an old friend of mine who kept having me try and "fix" his semi auto .22.  Prior to the confiscation I took apart his Kimber barrelled 10/22 at least twice to try and figure out what was going on with it.  This rifle had been custom made when he was living out west.  I couldn't find a thing wrong, but changed out the extractor and recoil spring just in case.  Then he calls me again.  When I get to his place I ask him to see the ammo he is shooting as I hadn't had any issues with it when I shot it with whatever I had in my ammo box.  He showed me his "stash" of Thunderbolts, which I immediately confiscated and gave him 3 or 4 bricks of CCI ammo.  I stored his Thunderbolts in my garage, trying to come up with something to do with them, but forgot about them.  2012 rolls around the shelves are picked clean again by resellers and hoarders.  I load up those Thunderbolts and drive out to his place and stick them on his shelf with a shrug.  Something is maybe better than nothing, but in the case of Thunderbolts out of a semi auto .22 I think pulling out the 12 gauge or 30.06 would be money better spent.

  34. You should get an agricultural consider an agriculture tax exemption certificate if you plan to engage in any farm activity - it will let you get tax free off road diesel and also save o other farm related purchases. Also - you may want to take a look at buying a new tractor- all brands offer zero percent financing and if you think you may file a schedule F you can write off the purchase as a section 179 expense in its entirety. This will lower the price by your marginal tax rate - probably 28% for most people. Buying used really is tough to argue for given those two things

  35. If you can smell it you are getting harmful fumes. Even outside may not be enough if there is little or no wind or if it is blowing in your face. I thought I was doing enough to protect myself and poisoned myself. After that I started becoming anal about anything to do with lead. I wear a mask, a real mask, anytime I turn a pot on or handle them up until they are powder coated. After casting I strip naked before coming in then go straight to a shower. I no longer cast unless it is something I cannot buy.

  36. Didn't get to hunt Saturday due to being out of town Friday night. However, got out this morning and while things didn't go exactly as planned, I got a bird in the fridge. We set up blindly, but near a know roost area. When they fired up, they were on every side of us and I know I heard 10 different gobblers. They henned up quickly, but we kept working them. Around 7:15 two long beards walked in to our set up. I took careful aim and shot the lead bird at about 30 yards. 3.5" #4's knocked him off his feet, but I hit him low. He got up and ran off, me emptying the gun at him. We searched the woods and briar patches, but didn't find him. I was down on myself and questioning my sights, shells, choke choices. Guess I pulled low on the shot, but still felt it was enough lead and close enough it should have kept him down. My partner left to go to church and I stayed to look some more. While walking the woods, rustling the leaves caused another bird to fire up. I eased to the field edge and called in a flock. Shot this one at 20 yards and didn't pull the shot low. I hate losing wounded game. "So he cocked both his pistols, spit in the dirt, and walked out in to the street."

  37. I'll have to retract my earlier post after seeing this one. If you don't want them, I'd suggest you leave them be; or at least do some serious research as to their condition and value. Me? I'd buy them and put them up as long as they weren't broken, badly pitted, or bubba'ed.   I've a pretty fair assortment of antique mouse guns, but none of the models you've listed.

  44. The whole Jan 2015 clause makes the law just as unclear.  It seems like this law is never used, but it is a bad law that could be used by someone on a power trip to hassle an otherwise honest person.     The time spent on changing up these sign requirements could have been used to just remove the law or at least remove the criminal penalty, but I guess there just wasn't much desire on the NRA's part to actually help people with permits.  This kind of bill and other supposedly pro gun bills moving through the legislature are just proof that no one really wants to make it any easier on people carrying with permits.

  45. Any sign that was conforming (pretty much any sign), will still be conforming until 2018. My rule of thumb is any sign I see is legal because I understand the property owner’s intent. If I don’t see it; it probably isn’t legal under any version of the law.

  48. Are you going to do a FTF only or offer shipping. The majority of everyday carry knives will fit in a small flat rate box. I think you'd be justified in a little premium for that on top of the $6 it costs to ship it. Gas and time to and fro ain't free. I'd be in for it. My current knife sharpener is the fellar what sets up in the back of the local gun show. Wait, are you really up for sharpening all the cheap knock offs we cheap/poor bastards carry? Kinda be like a Porche mechanic tuning up a Ford Tempo.
