You know what he is doing is illegal, right? In Davidson county you must have a license to operate a lemonaid stand.

Got my omega 9k out of jail the other day and now my mpx is complete. This thing is a blast to shoot

The big problem with most of these 'universal background' check bills is they are really just universal gun registration bills because all sales must go through an FFL, plus adding 30-40 dollars to cost of selling your own gun. I would have less of a problem with a background check if it was just a background check and did not involve running the gun through an FFL, say if you could just show someone you have a handgun carry permit or like NC does a purchase permit. Pro gun people need to ask the anti gun folks why the handgun carry permits and purchase permits are not sufficient for a background check and you'll see that the anti gun folks basically want a backdoor path to gun registration.

I grew up watching Don Rickles on TV and often didn't really get his style and fully appreciate his humor as he was already old as hell. SNL was cranking up, and guys like Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman, etc., were just starting out and cracked me up. The older I got the more I started to appreciate this master smart-ass. There's no doubt he was an influence on my own, intolerable to some, smart-assery...along with my genes. RIP Don. I imagine the Dean Martin Roasts wherever they're being held now are over the top.

Finally got my 640 in. Went ahead and put Pachmayrs on both the 640 and the 686PC. Now I just need to make a good holster for the 640 and go shoot. Somehow I feel a little more gooder now.

Most of these are decently irrelevant with a quality holster and belt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey I never said I supported it. I would bet that only 10% of gun owners are truly "gun people". Just look at all the idiots at indoor ranges for proof. My guess is that a lot of folks with a 12ga under their bed have no problem with universal background checks...

This is simply to remove the requirement of having the tax stamp IF the Feds implement a reversal of suppressors from the NFA, as it stands,the stamp is required as a defense against prosecution. If he Feds chhange the rating, sans this action you still could not legally posses a silencer without the fed stamp. Not intended to subvert fed late, but to compliment something that may be coming.

He will turn it over to the law for disposal. I wonder if he bought it using campaign funds or his tax-payer provided discretionary funds.

This is the first attempt I've made at doing that. Made this for a guy here. Slide the flap up under the belt and snap. When you unsnap, it unfolds to allow you to pull the bottom one out, then the top one. I think there's a few things I might do differently on the next one. I also made the holster in the picture with the wheel guns and it was my first attempt at a holster, so I hope I can improve things from here. ETA: Regarding the moon clips, the ones from Smith do seem fragile. I'll see how they hold up. I may order some from another company, or I might just get some 7 round speed loaders.

Governor doesn't want to have to veto's pro-gun bills, and he also doesn't want to sign them, because he wants to run for President one day?!?! To help him, he's enlisted the help of a RINO named Beth Harwell who is the speaker of the house. The governor will be gone in a little over 18 months, the key issue is fixing the long jam on gun bills, is to get rid of her in the 2018 election. Or elect a democrat governor, which the republicans will then send every possible gun bill to try and wound the democrats. Beth Harwell needs to go.

We will be hosting a USPSA event at our range in Dickson this weekend. Five stages including a classifier. New, safe shooters are welcome to attend. Set-up starts at 7:00am. Any help is greatly appreciated. Shots by 9:00am or when set-up is done.

Gallatin Gun IDPA will start hosting indoor IDPA matches at Sumner Gun & Supply April 12. We will hold the indoor matches the 2nd and 4th Wednesday nights. Set up starts a 5:00PM with first shots at 6:00PM. We should finish around 9:00PM. I will host these matches until Gallatin Gun Club has a new range built. In the mean time I will train SO's and anybody that wants to part of the Sumner Gun IDPA group to run it's own matches after I resume duties at the new outdoor range. This may take a while, so in the present we will have indoor matches. The first match will have 4 stages, around 70 rounds. Their is a learning curve here as I learn what I can do within the confines of an indoor range. I have limited the first match to 24 guns. I may allow more as we progress. I have opened a entry form on Practiscore; https://practiscore.com/gallatin-gun-idpa-indoor-match/register Match fee is $20. Discount is available to members of the Sumner Gun Range. Payment is to be may at the sales counter of the Gun Store. I have also bought tablets for scoring that will be posted onto Practiscore. Their is a learning cure here also. Robert

I sold off my 2014 Street Glide last year as I just wasn't using it enough for what I had in it. I started to get the itch again now that the weather is nice so I picked up a new ride today. Decided to go with a Sport Tourer as I wanted something I could pay cash for as well as have a little more power behind it. Picked up a 2014 Yamaha FJR1300. I had a good time the last time some of us got together for a ride. If anyone is interested in doing it again, let me know and we'll try to plan something in the coming weeks. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-DwwDJzz/0/XL/i-DwwDJzz-XL.jpg For some reason the picture won't show, but the link works.

Hi, this is Ben Schade's wife. We have moved to Missouri to be closer to our son and family. Ben does have stage four prostate cancer, but he is doing well. He is not doing any gunsmithing. He enjoyed his time in Tennessee and loved his customers. He always tries to do good work. Right now, he is building me a house.

I hit the bricks this morning at 4:00 headed to Mississippi and worked all day, and drove back to Jackson tonight to take care of my 90 year old Father"s meds, I just buried my Father-in-law last weekend, Navy man from WWII, and I expect my Father to join him in the next few weeks. I am a 63 year Senior Project Manager with a very sick wife who uses up his vacation to advocate for firearms issues. I do not get my gas paid for, nor any recompense for my efforts. I deal with these folks denying the People their Rights for the three months they are on our dole stealing our money and drinking our tax payer funded liquor, kissing there rears and trying to get my grandchildren as well situated as I can. Normally I am the only advocate for these issues in the house. I am too tired to be insulted, and I rightly do not care what you throw at me because I do all I humanly can and that is a lot more than most.

If they realized the intent was to insert the government into their ability to pass that shotgun on to a grand child sans Big Brother's nose being inserted they might. I still say that we need to include cars, and why not houses into background checks territory?

Yea, I can get another weapon or three for that much. If I were to buy a machine, I'd probably get this one for $275: http://www.annealeez.com/

While they do sound good to most people in principle, I agree that they do not work. Criminals do not go into a store and buy off the shelf. Other than that they can recruit "clean" buyers to do straw purchases and then move the guns out of state so that connecting them is harder. The "clean" buyer can report a theft if they want a record of them no longer having the gun. They could even buy a few and take care of them all on one "theft" On top of this, lots of guns recovered from crimes are stolen from legitimate owners. There is no way for background checks to stop either of these. On the other side, if a person goes in to buy a gun that is then used in a "crime of passion", that person passed the background check at the time because they had no outstanding issues. So that did not deter that issue. So while background checks for private sales might have a positive impact, the amount would be very small. Basically it would simply generate more income for the government via the charge for background checks with very little in return. I think the energy would be best used to stop the smuggling of weapons into the country by criminal networks. I can guarantee those weapons have a 500 times larger chance to be used in a violent crime than the gun sitting on the shelf at a LGS.

There's also no indication that people have heard the truth about background checks, because of the liberal echo chamber that YOU live in. The MTSU <Journalism> Department says it all to me.

The article says that 83% of Tennessee residents support background checks when buying from an individual-where on gods green earth do they come up with their poll numbers-I have never and I repeat never answered any of these polls.

Keep an eye open for a Hawes or J.P. Sauer both made in West Germany. Normaly pretty good shooters on the lower coin side of things. I picked up a JP Sauer 44mag for $275 on GB a number of years back and its dead on and groups extremely well.

Indeed.

About 4-5 months ago we decided to stick our toes in the water and bought (3) 18 month old Americuana chickens, a little coop and some electro-netting. After they settled down for a few days they started dropping an egg here and there and settling in. I added a light on a timer and a heat lamp for warmth and egg production went up. Feeling giddy with success we ordered (11) cornish cross chicks and (2) different types of Marans for a total of 18 new chickadees. Somehow we managed to keep them all alive through the brooding process and 7 weeks later the 11 cornish cross's graduated to the freezer. Due to some stupidity on my part I passed up a great deal on some 2 year old chickens and by the time I figured it out they were gone. Of course the next week the wife said we needed more laying hens now. So, we went to Poultry Hollow and bought (3) red sex-link birds that were about 24 weeks old. My buddy who helps me with projects wanted some and bought (2) White Leghorns and (2) Black Australorps. Both sets are very pretty birds. The 11 birds we processed taste good and definitely smell much better than chicken bought at the store. While we were waiting on our first birds to be delivered I remembered how tasty the pastured raised turkey I bought last year tasted so I ordered (11) broad breasted turkeys and 6 heritage breeds. 3 of those are for our neighbors. The heritage breeds won't get as large as the broad breasted birds but are better foragers and will reproduce better. You don't get to pick the sex on the turkeys so we are really hoping for at least 1 male and 1 female from both sets of heritage breeds. Really hoping to get 2 females of each kind and see if they can make free turkeys. We also have (10) more cornish cross chickens coming in the second order. The new batch will hopefully be more pastured than the first batch. Between getting them near the end of winter and these being our first birds to raise we kept them in a small protected run and provided most of their food. Hoping this next batch will be a little more self sufficient. I've built 3 long runs and the meat birds will go into tractors out on the pasture. Processing the first batch was possibly not the most fun I've ever had but the birds led a good healthy life and only had a second or 2 of bad luck. I thought I would probably want a automatic plucker and after doing 11 in one day I confirmed it. So, I'm ordering some parts and I'm going to build one large enough to process the larger turkeys. That will make things go much faster. Anyway, I know this is old hat to many of you but it was a big step for us as we move closer to having a homestead. These will probably be the only egg laying chickens we get as we will transition to ducks for eggs once we are living up there. I do plan on doing a couple of runs of (26) meat birds twice a year so we can put at least 1 chicken for each week into the freezer. It has been a fun journey and if you've been thinking about it I say get a few (not from tractor supply) and give it a shot. Mark

Looks like you had a great party! I'm trying to talk my neighbor into letting me shoot his old one so he can replace it. Told him he could tell his agent that all the high winds lately had picked up rocks and just filled it with holes.

That pool sprung a leak, then we helped it leak a bit more, fun day. Some of the recovered boolits

Tennessee is oddly not that carry friendly compared to the surrounding states. The permits until recently had quite a few restrictions on them that made legal carry difficult. You had to have a permit just to have a handgun loaded in your car. You couldn't even have a long gun loaded in the vehicle even with a permit. The permits are also initially somewhat expensive with the training class and fees. You'd think the state would trust people that are forced to take a class, shoot on a range, and get fingerprinted, but the state obviously doesn't when you can't even carry legally where the permits are issued. Yeah I guess it is not New Jersey where you probably won't get a permit unless you are politically connected but it sure isn't like a lot of places.

Pre-ban Colts still have a decent market value. Name and tradition don't mean a hill of beans to some, but some people appreciate the heritage of Colt firearms and are willing to pay a little extra. And they are quality weapons despite what some may say. Just my opinion.
