I'm good, for the most part I have what I need, can use a buffer tube I think but they should be plentiful since it's a standard one and should still be cheap. If not I'll sell a box of .22 and get all the parts I need

BINGO. So with the new push for legislation I decided maybe I needed to go ahead and order more now before the prices get ridiculous again. I thought I better check inventory to decide what I might need. After completion of inventory I decided to just forget it, I'm good.

I just thought of another reason you should buy an AR: Because left-wing authoritarians don't want you to have one. Hope this helps, Whisper

“Take the firearms first, and then go to court because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures — I like taking the guns early." This comment comes real close to shredding the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments. A very fine line being walked there. Wonder what actions he might want to take should something really big happen like the country go into severe recession or even depression - and we know that will never happen again because history never repeats itself. I would personally prefer that he use the Constitution and Bill of Rights for some guidance.

Sometimes you just can't fix stupid.

She is actually a mutt. I got her 'free to a good home' at the Crossville flea market. Near as I can tell, based on what the lady told me and the research I have done, she is a black and tan Mountain Cur (a Mountain Cur is a specific type of mutt that is actually recognized as a valid mixed breed by some kennel clubs - in the book, apparently Ol' Yeller was a Mountain Cur.) These were the old farm dogs bred for general purpose duties. They weren't herding dogs but were smart enough to help with herding. They weren't high-bred hunting dogs but have been used to hunt everything from squirrel to wild hogs. They often had/have a mix of hound (for the hunting/scenting ability), terrier (for the tenaciousness and fearlessness) and other breeds, depending on what duties they were intended to perform. She is very loyal and generally pretty sweet but when she decides to whoop up on another dog her entire demeanor changes. Her eyes even seem to change and she goes right for the throat. She hates possums, too. She isn't quite knee tall to me but very muscular. I have seen her grab a grown possum just behind its shoulder blades, yank it up off the ground, heard bones being crushed by her teeth and then saw shake it until she broke its neck. Funny thing, she will bark at people but will usually back off from them if they keep coming closer. There has only been once that I have thought she really might attack someone. See, she knows what guns are and is kind of skittish of them - not just being fired but she will sometimes kind of cower if I am even holding a gun. One morning, though, a cop came to the front door (for something not directly related to me.) I thought Millie was going to go through the storm door to get to him. I don't think I have ever heard her bark and snarl quite like that at a person. I honestly think she saw the gun on his belt and - as skittish as she is of guns - was afraid he was going to hurt me and so was trying to get at him before he did.

You should for sure join us. We always have a good time when we get together.

I have a Swiss surplus P210 made in the late 1950s. The quality is incredible! I am very fond of my P210 and enjoy shooting it. For a service pistol, the quality, accuracy, and ergonomics are superb. The one weak spot is the bottom magazine catch. It is spring steel and has been known to break. Its relatively inexpensive and easy to replace. I bought a spare just in case. I have no experience with the new ones. I'm not really a fan of Sig Sauer and they share only a name with the original Swiss company.

From a source I can't reveal here, I'm told that Enterprise has been particularly hard-hit by negative response to their announcement, which has caused them to lose out on a major land acquisition they were in the process of negotiating...with a gun owner who has now refused to sell his property to them.

Boy can I relate to this. Very few of my whitewater buddies know of my other hobby: guns. Those that do give me crap about it all the time. The rest would probably pee themselves if they knew about the pistol in my backpack. Bunch of global warming, Birkenstock wearing, Hippy sissies. Where did you have your exchange? BoaterTalk? I quit that site years ago for this very reason.

Gunsmithing Services View Advert Hey guys, many of you know me here but I've had a lot of folks inquire about services or see something and not know that I offered that. My biz name is a little misleading I apologize for that. I'm a full service gunsmithing shop that does 99% labor type work. I moved my shop to Oliver Springs a little over a year ago. Things are running great so I wanted to throw this out there in case you need anything I can provide. First and foremost I will work on almost anything. I have been working on guns for 35 years now. Started off at my grandfather's pawn shop back in the early 80s. I moved to Oak Ridge in 2008 and opened Law Enforcement Sales early 2010 and have been steady smithing since. Since inception I have had a 07/02 manufacturing license for both title 1 and title 2 firearms. Began heavily on the LE side but my customer base has grown more than I could have ever imagined and I now do way more work for the general public. Little about me, I have been a commissioned law enforcement officer since 2001, worked 7 years as a SC State Constable working all over the state. I am currently serving as a Sergeant with the Anderson County Sheriff's Department which I joined in 2008 and have been an active Reserve Deputy with them since. I am also a VP at Wells Fargo bank working in their securities/loss area as a Software Engineer. I've compile a list of things I usually work on but again, the sky is the limit. I will 100% be upfront if there is a job I am not comfortable with. I have not done everything but I have found I tend to get the more difficult jobs around the area none of the other smiths want to deal with. I feel my prices are very competitive and I always charge what a job is worth not what my time invested is. Services Sales Affiliated with most the industries distributors. I don't do much retail because of TN's sales tax it's currently impossible to compete with the internet. I want you guys to get the best price you can but I do have those customers who want to buy from me and I don't mind helping search something down and getting it. I am a East TN SilencerCo SPEQ dealer. They offer great prices to LE, Military, First Responders (EMS, etc.). Call for special pricing. They offer a couple times per year this discount to Veterans too. Transfers Title 1 transfers - $20 INCLUDEDs TBI background. I WILL accept transfer in from private parties and it doesn't matter if I can get the item or even have the item in stock - no games!

Custom machine a new hammer and recoil assembly. My conversions do not use that ugly recoil rod that most do that has to protrude through the middle of the rear stock. Everything is internal. MACs UZIs VK59s List could go on and on .... ALL of the above can also be machined to post sample select fire status for LE agencies Refinishing Parkerizing Cerakote Duracoat At the moment I do not do cammo patterns. Sorry I have a couple of master refinishers I can refer you to for those services. Handguns RMR/Reddot milling -not just flat, proper radiused front WITH all 4 indexing posts (RMR) Slide serrations, windows, etc. Sight removal/install Dovetail milling Recoil/Hammer Stud replacement (revolvers) Cylinder Reaming/Honing Picatinny/Weaver rail drill/tapping, etc. General repair / parts replacement If I can't find a replacement part I can often machine something.

Yeah, kind of a shame that Delta threw away a $38 million tax break just to spite 13 people and earn praise from left-wing authoritarians. Wonder if it was worth it?

Man. I've got a short list of pistols I must have and this one is on it. I've shot one once and it left me impressed.

There - fixed it for ya.

Me too. Cancelling my REI-branded credit card tonight, and calling REI to let them know I did it and why.

Whisper is right! It's because they don't want us having them.

Because you can... at least for now.

There's nothing fine about it. It very clearly crosses it, stomping it along the way.

Most of ya'll know I lost Kasey back in October and I decided I had to have another dog in my life cause i have had dogs in my life since about age 6 so not normal for me not to have one. I went searching all the dog rescue centers in the area and my vet was also searching for the right dog for me. Well, I found Darby and soon as I saw her she was the one and would be coming home with me. At the Rescue Center she was very laid back and almost timid till the lease and collar went on her and she became a new dog. When I opened up the back door of the Jeep she knew exactly where she was suppose to be and she didn't hesitate. She loves to ride but I don't take her into any store except Tractor Supply and thats because a lot of folks take their dogs in there. Once home she needed to go potty so she did and then we went in the house. It didn't take her but a few minutes to check the place out and she followed me every where I went in the house and still does to this day. She loves to go out and play and chase the wild life in the yard. Playing with a few toys she would fetch them and bring them back for me to throw the again. I learned something new about here after returning home from the hospital. She loves to play stick more than toys. Evidently who ever owned her previously had trained her to fetch with a stick cause I can throw a toy and a stick out in the yard and she will berng the stick back every time. So now we play stick when we go out. As far as her guard dog situation, she will back every one away from the storm door as she is vicious and trying her best to bite them but she is all show so far. Once I open the door does not matter would it is she is their best friend and totally glad to see them. That worked out great when I was in the hospital because I had about 4 buddys that were taking turns coming to the house and letting her out a couple times a day and playing fetch with her and feeding her and making sure she had plenty of water and she didn't have any issues with letting them in the house at all. Now that i am back home she has gone back to her being aggressive to them till I open the door and then she is friends with them again. She loves her nice big bed. It is a Memory Foam Twin bed Mattress with a big old quilt on it that she hides snacks in all the time.

I agree it's never a good idea to chase. If they are willing to leave the scene what else are they willing to do? Plus,you just became the aggressor.

I'm fairly certain that no real gun control will be passed in the wake of this particular incident, could be possible when the next mass shooting happens.. As far as Trump's actual motives in this push, hell man I just don't know anymore..It's like trying to figure out which direction the leaves are gonna blow in lol.. My problem with this whole "chess move" thing is not that he is doing it, it's what he is playing chess with..I am 100% fine with political chess on issues like immigration, foreign policy, and the economy, none of that stuff is directly protected in the bill of rights, and he is free to wheel and deal on them issues as he see's fit... In contrast, I am NOT ok with any politician playing political chess with anything in the bill of rights.. I will not support anyone gambling with my natural rights..

I've got the boat and the "stuff" all ready, but this weather is playing he!! the conditions. High water levels as well.

I'd Love to, but finding good crappie holes has been hard for me. I had a place I went to that did pretty good, but after the flood it just doesn't produce anymore. I was told of a new spot so I may try my hand there, I love me some crappie.

Be aware that the new Sig Sauer P210 Legend is still made in Germany and not New Hampshire. It is an extraordinarily nice pistol. And Sig changed to the button mag release on the side of the frame with the P210-8 version in 2003.

A week or so ago there was one at On Target in Murfreesboro and one at Outpost Armory in Christiana. I was shocked; until then I had only seen two in my entire life, and then I saw two in one day in the same county. I want one. Just don't want to pay what it costs. Cheers, Whisper

Absolutely. The health care industry players have a strong incentive to support and develop the "more health care" movement. Superficially it seems great - we label more problems as "medical conditions", people get more medicine, gov't pays, the industry's profits increase every year, and we keep reducing the amount of bothersome and awkward (i.e. meaningful) in-person interaction with other human beings. But consider the insidious effects on society. Say I take my car to the shop for an oil change. The mechanic does his work, but when he tries to hand me the bill I say, "No, I'm not paying. Bill the government, because I have a right to automotive care." Sounds crazy. I'm trying to say that hundred years ago the majority of Americans would have thought it impossible for one man to have a right to another man's labor without paying him. Now half the nation talks about the "right to health care" as though it is a notion dating back to Voltaire and Montesquieu - and they spread the idea via social media. (I recognize the irony and hypocrisy of me making this statement in an online discussion forum; mea culpa.)

I’m pretty sure the Nashville armory location closer to downtown has one but I would call first. They’re a licensed Sig Armorer. At least I think that’s what it’s called.

I got pmags for sale at 30$ each, buy now before they get banned!

I wonder if Trump thinks out loud, saying whatever pops into his mind, and then assesses the idea and the response it generates? It is not always a bad way to think especially when brainstorming for new creative ideas. Saying something and doing it are two different things.

Why yes you can. The only problem with the Clydesdale is fitting it into the bathroom stall with you.

I don't think we can really determine which side of these proposals Trump will come down on. I don't really think Trump even has any idea what he is talking about. We all know Trump takes one position then completely changes his position the next day. Tomorrow he will be probably be denying saying any of these things that we just saw him spouting off.

I’ve got a five camera Arlo setup on my house, ADT on the entry exit points and a Ring Pro Doorbell. It’s overkill for a quiet neighborhood and a house that I’ve lived in for almost twenty five years. The only things I’ve seen in months are a couple of stray cats, kids going to school, the garbage collector, a couple of raccoons and the FEDEX driver sling a flat halfway across my yard to the front door. I enjoy watching the live feed while at work and out of town.

I seriously doubt Delta is too worried about it right now. They haven’t had the tax break in a few years and Georgia is not going to sacrifice 33,000 jobs from that one airline alone. Don’t forget, Atlanta’s Airport is the busiest in the country, perhaps the world. Republicans standing up to corporations is simply theater to distract the masses from what is really going on...and will happen.

I’m probably lucky that I live in a place where I don’t have the need to think about filming stuff. Or maybe it’s a generational thing. But I’ll tell you, it wouldn’t have crossed my mind in 100 years to pull out my phone and fIlm. I suppose it could just be me, though. Other than someone driving unsafely while my kids are nearby, I can’t remember the last time a stranger really offended me. Life is really short.

I feel the same way about the orangutan. He would be great at Wally World.

Man has he really stepped in it with this one. This is the one issue that I believe can have his base throw him overboard as fast as he is willing to throw over every other position he supposedly stands for http://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=13049

I thought they pulled ARs and similar after Sandy Hook. The only surprise about this announcement from Dick's is that they had apparently started selling them again.

Yet all the Trump supporters are going "it's ok, he's saving the country." Bull####. The stupidity on this side of the isle is equal to that of the left.

I truly hope you are 100% wrong. No matter what the rides going to be bumpy for awhile. Well, considering that ultimately the only "anti-gun" thing that was ever accomplished under Obama was that trusts changed a bit. If I recall correctly, that's about it. So in my opinion, something as simple as getting "bump stocks" banned is already shadowing Obama by my counts. I'm more curious the methods that are tried in all of this. If they try and garner support for legislation and do it that way, at least maybe we stand a chance in either the House or Senate. We shall see, I suppose.

I wish we could look back at some of those threads from 2016. You really did warn us, repeatedly.

I want in on the pho

I hate to say I told you so, but...

Dick’s: “We support and respect the Second Amendment”.... uh, no Dick’s, no you don’t.

The real enemy here CZ is the Social Media and the Cable news. Mass killings like these are not new. The ability to make sure every person on earth knows about them at light speed!!! Then every one has an opinion and a comment about it, good bad or indifferent. Charles Whitman was a mass murderer and killed people from the Clock Tower in Austin. He began by killng his family and then just killing strangers 14 in all and wounding 31 until they finally killed him. I would be willing to bet 1/2 or more of the people in the country 3 days after it was over could not tell you who Charles Whitman even was. If that happened today Social Media and Cable news would have it for weeks and everyone would know who he was. The only reason you don't hear more about the Vegas massacure is because no one can find out anything about the shooter or a motive. All that is mentioned now is the Bump-Stocks. Take away Social media and cable news and about 90% of all of the sinsational reporting would be a blip on your computer or TV screen...........jmho

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't read the whole thing. Gee, with "2nd Amendment Supporting Friends" such as this, who even needs enemies? To me, the icing on the cake baked mostly with irony, the statement "If even one life is saved, it will have been worth it" regarding gun restrictions has always infuriated me the most. Does that mean that if by allowing "assault rifles sales" saves even one life nationwide, it would be worth it? What if by legalizing machine-guns nationwide it saves one life, would that be worth it? I guarantee you if every state in the nation allowed for concealed carry it would save "At least one life" (not an endorsement for national reciprocity). And then I go down the rabbit hole of thinking about all the things they could ban and it would actually save thousands of lives (cars, swimming pools, hammers, , cell phones, marbles, etc). Would anyone consider banning those to save "even one life" and consider it worth it? No, people would consider that preposterous and a violation of freedom. But careful manipulation and now loads of people jump on board with "even one life" regarding firearms. Bullarky!

Springfield XDs .45. Compact, reasonably light, and it's a .45. Aren't you glad we live a country with so many choices!
