TN Governor Bill Lee just signed into law a "Lifetime Order Of Protection" option for victims of violent crime. For victims/survivors of violent crime out there, I highly recommend a backup plan, because at the end of the day, this is only a piece of paper. It has the weight of the law behind it, but it can still be violated. Unfortunately, convicted violent criminals can recidivate. I encourage victims to take advantage of this new law but also learn to be their own first responder, learn about situational awareness, have a safety plan, learn the law on self defense and justifiable use of force, and take firearms safety and training courses. I personally choose to carry a gun lawfully for self defense. Victims should never completely rely on an order of protection. Do what you must to protect yourself within the law. https://www.fox17.com/news/ferrier-files/new-tennessee-law-will-allow-violent-crime-victims-to-seek-lifetime-order-of-protection

Partly. Google French drain.

yes it is and for the better .. So glad to be here.

I just got an email from Grabagun.com that says they have quite a bit of ammo. 9mm, .22, .223..... Not cheap, but not "gougy" either. Looks like $13.00 to ship any quantity.

I wish you all the luck in the world on getting your guns back. I had 17 guns taken from my home in 1987 and I reported them to every law enforcement agency available and I'm still waiting for the 1st one to turn up anywhere. I hope yours begin showing up and you get them back.

With us seeing companies being help hostage by cyberterrorists this year, I'm glad to see this happening! I think we need more of these units!!! The takeover of Colonial Pipeline could have been much worse than it was, back in May!!! https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/41243/the-national-guard-just-simulated-a-cyberattack-that-brought-down-utilities-nationwide

Fantastic ruling out of Florida: "R.C. applied for a concealed carry license, submitted his paperwork and paid a $119 fee. He then received a letter from the Department stating that the National Instant Criminal Background check system, or NICS said he had a prior felony conviction, and was therefore ineligible for the license." “The Department refused the formal hearing because it argued the NICS result was binding as a matter of law and, unless R.C. was disputing the existence of the NICS result, there were no genuinely disputed issues of material fact,” the order states. “At the informal hearing, the Department elected not to provide a representative and submitted nothing. The hearing officer reiterated that the denial of R.C.’s application hinged on the NICS results.” "The Department argued that they are not provide with the underlying reasons for a NICS denial, so they are not able to determine if any restoration of rights documents apply to the specific reason for the denial, and that they would be forced to grant a concealed weapon license to “everyone who disputed their NICS disqualification.” The judges didn’t buy it. “Quite the contrary, the law requires the Department to issue the license unless the applicant is prohibited by Florida or federal law. Determining an applicant’s eligibility is the Department’s responsibility. The Department must evaluate the evidence and reach a reasoned conclusion,” the order states. The 1DCA also found that R.C. should have received a formal hearing. “The Department’s finding of fact that R.C. is prohibited from possessing a firearm is not supported by competent, substantial evidence. The Department’s legal conclusion that the NICS result required the denial of R.C.’s concealed carry application is erroneous. We reverse and remand for further proceedings,” the order states." https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Appellate-court-order-is-a-win-for-gun-owners--a-loss-for-Nikki-Fried.html?soid=1114009452090&aid=5C6sInWLNbk

Some time last year I ran across a good deal on a 5'X8' American flag. At the time I did not have a way to display it properly. We did this for Memorial Day, looked good but I did not like leaving it fly all day and not be there if a storm came up. This past week I was at a job site and me being me I just had to look in the construction dumpster. Found 4 pieces of chain link fence top rail. Well now I have a 22 foot flag pole to display my flag.

Here is a quote from TDOC in a recent Tennessean article. "Since 95% of incarcerated people in Tennessee will one day return to our communities as our neighbors, we are committed to ensuring they leave better than they came." This man should NOT be a part of that 95% being released. He will never be "reformed." It is incredibly dangerous to set him loose one day.

That's just freaking incredible! I understand that the man has a mental disorder. But I really, really fail to understand how anyone could decide that the man was incapable of being premeditated based on the evidence the police presented. Where the heck was common sense used in this case??? This man has clearly not shown that he is "cured". And he is going to be a mence to you, when he gets out. I'm truly sorry for your predicament. You and those around you, will need to be armed, clearly at all times, when he gets out. That's very sad that you have to be in fear of your life, from the likes of him. (I cleaned this up. "Freaking" was not what I wanted to say, but we do have standards here.)

Damn! A Para-Ordnance SF-45-A. These were only offered to active duty troops serving in Iraq back around 2009-10. My son bought two and gave me one. I noticed your unit markings on it and understand how special it is to you. So sorry for the loss. I sincerely hope you can get it back. Damned thieves!

I bought a similar quality .22 but a semi auto, from my sister inlaw that was in her husbands family and no one wanted it. When I bought it I didn't realize how cheap it was. After reading about it and having it slam fire when chambering I wrote a description of it's history and gave a description about how it should not be used and why it wasn't safe. I put the pistol and note in a ziplock bag and stuck it in a back corner of my gun safe for my son to worry about someday. I would suggest a similar note to go with your revolver.

I listed 9mm components awhile back, cases, primers and coated 127 gr Brass Monkey projectiles. But no one seemed interested so I took them off.

I merged all of your individual threads into a single one for ease of viewing and navigation. Good luck recovering your property.

I hate liars and thieves. I'll keep an eye out.

I like the motto "8 is great and can be lightweight "

Welcome aboard and to this great state.

Welcome to The Great State!

I picked up 2000 CCI Large Pistol Primers at Sportsman's Warehouse in Southhaven, MS for $44.50 per thousand and a 1000 CCI Small Pistol Primers at Bass Pro for $54.75 in Memphis last week.

Dunno if you'll find any repeaters in that area but this vid really helped me out in programming my BF-F8+, including loading in area repeaters via CHIRP.

I’d stick to standard velocity or shorts in that thing.

I wouldn’t be to worried. I agree with the inspector. Once you divert the water away the moisture will go away.

Here is mine. It's one of the first things I added when I bought the house.

There are clips, and then there are magazines. In any case, it should not damage either one to keep them loaded. Springs wear from being cycled, not from being compressed.

Are we talking about suck starting Harleys again?

Professional what?

In answer to your question about why he was not convicted for 1st degree murder. It was a bench trial (Judge only), no jury. The murderer got to choose that. Liberal Davidson County Judge Seth Norman heard this case. Mental health experts were brought in for both the defense and prosecution. Both testified they believe he has delusional disorder. The defense mental health expert testified she did not believe he was capable of premeditation. The prosecution's expert didn't push back very hard and basically left it up to the Judge to decide if that is true based on the evidence. Here was just some of the evidence. This man had actually gone downtown first, looking for us that night. When he couldn’t find us, he asked acquaintances where he could find us and he got directions to the restaurant. These acquaintances at multiple karaoke venues downtown noticed that when he left, he hadn’t drank any of his beer. The beer bottle he left at each place was still full. I think it’s clear he was there specifically waiting for us. He wasn’t there to have a few beers and a good time. He then drove 30 minutes that night to where we were. I had never seen him at this venue before. I was concerned he was stalking me when I noticed him there. I discreetly asked management to remove him and let them know he was stalking me. When they approached him and asked him to leave, he was looking around the room (I assume he was looking for me but I was beside a brick wall, where I could see him but he had no clue where I was), he then shot Ben 7 times. When the police searched his vehicle at the crime scene, they found 2 more guns, ammunition, a baseball bat, binoculars, gloves rope and a knife. Police made note that my stalker made a number of physical preparations that very day. He purchased the shoulder holster, binoculars and baseball bat that day. The Judge dropped it from 1st degree to 2nd degree despite that kind of evidence. That Judge is well into his 80's now and retired. He has left me facing an incredibly dangerous situation in my future.

I looked on Academy's website today and it said they had primers. All types. I went over to Cookeville, and the guy looked at me when I asked him like I was an alien. They've not had any at all. I think whoever does their website needs to remove their head from their nether region.

I only have 110,000 of them, not sure if I could spare any.
