The murderer fired the first several shots at the ground or in the air. And they still were hurling insults at him. The woman pulled out her phone and said she had it on camera. This had been a long ongoing feud but the fact that the folks just really could not grasp that he was for real and their lives were in danger boggles the mind. The couple did not deserve to die like that, but the story is coming out from the neighbors say that they were not innocent players in all of this. You never know who you’re dealing with and you never know when that psycho switch is going to flip. You just can’t go around pushing people because sometimes you find that you end up dead. ETA: This all relates to some of the recent road rage discussions we’ve had.

For any veterans interested in getting the vaccine the Memphis VA is currently taking appointments. I was able to get an appointment for Monday. Call 901 577-7221 for appointment

I believe now more than ever its important to support the local small guy establishments with your business. Do your research online, but buy local! I feel rather satisfied paying (marginally) more for a purchase made there than at a big box store. Same goes for eating out. Darden brands will be just fine... Joe's Pizza could use some new customers.

Half the people that do wear masks just might need their noses sewn shut since they simply don’t understand how it works.

I doubt that the penal system is equipped at all to deal to a 95-year old who needs assisted living arrangements. Just guess, I would think they'll send him right back to another similar facility, but without access to any weapons. It seems odd that he was allowed to keep firearms at all in a place like that, and another guess is that the staffer's family is going to sue the facility.

Picked her up on here a couple of months back looking like this.... I picked up a bargain priced 1896 small ring stock on ebay (i'd love to say I did it with the intention of modifying the inletting, but honestly i'd had a couple of bourbons & screwed up....) It arrived yesterday & i set to work the gouges, chisels & rasps. Now she looks like this: I have the bolt with an old guy in Wisconsin getting the super short knob replaced with a traditional, butterknife handle. Once that's back it's going to Terry Walden to have scope mounts fitted. This has been a super simple-ish, classy, cheap project & the ol' gal is going to end up being my antelope, deer & coyote go to.

I have written to Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn on several occasions-when they see my E-Mail address come up I would imagine they think(not this guy again) I also usually include David kustoff in there as well.

I really am surprised that this has not happened sooner. I like watching prank videos on YouTube. I have always thought that they should be happy they were in areas with strict gun laws (usually CA) because if they did that around here they would get shot. Sure enough it happened.

You should have followed the advice given to dial it back a bit. It was good advice. Come back in a couple days when hopefully you’ve heeded that advice.

I believe the 1911 was confiscated because it was just used to kill a man.

Alleycat, I will not profess to be the best Christian. But will say that I believe in the power of prayer and power of prayers given on one’s behalf. I have not lost a daughter, but I have a daughter and I know how important they are. I would be lost if she were gone. there is a longer story here but this is not the time. The short story is I had recurrent Hodgkins Lymphoma many years ago and was in the hospital about a month for a stem cell transplant. my pastor, as well as strangers would stop by and ask if I wanted a prayer. It helped. It helped just to have someone else carry the weight I was feeling, even if it was for a few minutes. It also helped to know friends and strangers we’re praying for me and my wife. So, a prayer from me to you and your family that you may have some peace, that you may have some comfort, and that you get to have as much time with your daughter as possible.

I've been there. I've buried two children under the age of three. If you ever want to talk to someone who's gone through it and survived it, let me know. Until then, you and your family will be in my prayers. Doctors are well educated and often pretty smart, but God has the last word.

I think that is a mini-14, not an m-14

A buddy from my Army days runs a gunsmithing shop in Central Texas and did his magic on my late Grandfather's ole Colt he use to slip in his pocket coon hunting. I think it turned out great.

I know how they work. But, I wear reading glasses that cease to work with a mask over my nose. So, I'm constantly pulling my mask down so I can see my phone. I do avoid breathing in anybody's direction. Most of the time, the mask is on right.

Germitage isn't the place to be pulling stunts like that, obviously.

Oh and btw this is how the gumbermint will know who has AR's.

Thats a decent price. Free shipping, too! But it says 4-6 weeks to fill?

Things are looking up. I got this response from TFA: TFA has written and provided bill language to proposed bill sponsors. We expect to see the bill filed next week. John Harris Executive Director

No doubt some folks’ cornbread ain’t done in the middle.

Never... but it cool as hell that its there...your talking about how it wraps around your forearm right. You can use the hook as FW handle when the stock is folded up and the hook turned to either side.

If I win this I guess I need to sell enough to buy myself a nice AR. And I will do it here on the TGO. And I will sell it cheap because it was free to me. Like $0.30/round cheap. .

WTF is wrong with people? How can anyone with even a half brain think a “prank robbery” is a good idea?

I’ve been expecting this headline for years. It’s unfortunate that a young man lost his life, but this is a YT genre that needs to die. Shame that someone else had to first.

Yep, there is a button in the foregrip push fw and lock semi, push back and lock it's in pump.

It does. But shooting somebody who is leaving your house and is no longer threatening your life is not justified.

I thought that TN Castle Doctrine provides civil immunity if the shooting was deemed justified. I know that wouldn't stop someone from trying though.

Saw this pop up in local news earlier in the week. I would look for the store pharmacist or store mgr driving the grossly expensive suv

Helment and Jacket are modeled after the Movie The Rocketeer. I'd say the photo is a staged shoot for personal or maybe a cosplay event. The young lady's face is almost familiar, but haven't got it yet. Long legged little critter though.

This attitude isn’t conducive to positive discourse. Y’all dial it back a bit so that we don’t get another of sub forums closed out.

I got my call from the Murfreesboro VA and have an appointment for next Saturday.

You realize I don’t care?

I agree 100% @Omega. Bartering has certainly taken off well in our classified section. It makes good sense. I wholeheartedly embrace the concept. I have a good supply of strike anywhere matches, just because it/they make good sense. I guess I should have stuck back rolls of caps! Good suggestion. Maybe I will when they come back in stock.

Bartering seems a good way to go to get ammo, trade one caliber for another. I'm good on everything right now except some 6.5 CM, but it is not a "need" for me. One thing I found rather strange..well, thinking about it not so much, but anyway, the rolls of caps for the toy guns have become unobtainium lately, most are either gone (OOS) or priced much higher. For those that may ask, they can be used to make your own primers. I expect a run on strike anywhere matches coming too, it is good to be prepared.

If we're within $1000, I call it good. They're not holding too much of my money and anything I have to pay, that money is in my control. Regarding new and shifting tax brackets; 3 year ago, our gross income increased about $4000, our tax burden increased about $3600 YoY. Not much incentive to make that extra money...but hey, we rich folks are fortunate and greedy.

Ah, the soulless AR. I'm in your club. Good news, if I win, many rounds would be for sale to TGO members and NOT at parking lot prices!

come to the dark side....

Nice! Here is hoping your grandkids give it the same love and appreciation.

Keeping your family in my thoughts. I can't begin to imagine how hard this must be. If you aren't already doing so, I would advise some counseling. Whether from a church or a professional, it can help you. Also, be careful with the drinking...all it may end up doing is amplifying your sorrow. Keep being there for your daughter...I'm guessing you wouldn't trade away the time you've had already, no matter how hard it's been. Continue to fight for and appreciate every day.

I love these things Bother..!! Nice job... Ive got an old Nazi marked CZ 27 that needs the same treatment... Im thinkin it wuz an old " coon huntin pistol " too... admirin leroy...

Alleycat, I sent a prayer up for your little girl and your family. I will second Pop Pop's suggestion. I can't imagine your stress level brother. I do know alcohol isn't a solution, it is only a crutch. I know I used to use it and it doesn't help. You can pm me and I will give you my phone number to call at any time. I won't preach to you I promise. It took a long time for me to realize we can't do this "job" on our own. I believe every man and woman needs a couple of REAL friends they can call on at any hour of the day and just listen or help us. Praying for you and your family. Mac

Excellent job on the refinishing. Sweet pistol.

What is the weight of a single 5.56 round? Man, if won that, I’d haul it down to the gun show with a scoop, grocery store scale, and a bunch of plastic baggies. Sell it by weight. Could probably make $20,000.

Anytime I hear this sort of speculation I remind myself that it's just that. People love to throw out predictions and spread gossip about topics they really have no actual knowledge about. It's why a large percentage of the country still thinks the vaccine is more dangerous than COVID. I'm sure they read some compelling data on Facebook that makes it true. Jimbo heard from his cousin the price of tires is going up 10%. Jimbo then told his friend Curtis. Curtis posted on Facebook tire prices were going up 20%. Eventually it makes it's way up to 25%. It's like fish getting bigger each time you tell the story of catching it. According to Goodyear, they raised prices 5% this year. Michelin and Bridgestone did 8%. https://www.moderntiredealer.com/articles/31204-goodyear-consumer-tire-prices-are-on-their-way-up

Made in USA BY ALTAMONT GRIP COMPANY - I had to shape the back with some 400 and 600 as they stuck out at the web of the hand and were at 90 degree angles. I sanded it back a 1/16 or so rounded it and I LOVE THEM. I have the same set but with checkers... not sure yet were they will end up. I HATE TO SHARE IT! https://www.ebay.com/itm/S-W-GRIP-N-FRAME-ROUND-BUTT-INDIAN-ROSEWOOD-SMOOTH-BOOT-STYLE-W-S-W-MEDALLIONS/373146627750 Now complete with night sites!

Was going thru my stash the other day and discovered almost 4 bricks of 22 mag. I did the only sensible thing possible and purchased a new S&W 648. It will be here the end of the week

You realize this is a public forum, right?

I found a box of Buffalo Bore 45-70 in some stuff in the garage. I no longer own a gun in 45-70. I don't have the stomach to list it for some obnoxious price. I gave it to someone I know that has a gun chambered for it. Not everything is about money. The way things look like they're headed, I don't think money is gonna buy much anyway.

Normally this where someone would get a friendly reminder of the rules about posting ads. This asshole intentionally answered multiple questions acknowledging those rules and posted an ad attempting to use coded language to skirt them. I have zero tolerance for that BS. Buh-bye!
