Oh boy. Yeah, that's been exercised within the past 15 years as an attention stunt and attempt to joust with the legal system for personal gain. I genuinely hope that sad schmuck's life has improved to the point that he no longer sees a "wrongful death by cop" lawsuit as a way to provide for his family. What a complete and utter cancer to the Second Amendment in Tennessee.

Went with Ring as well. Started with a door bell and liked it well enough we added a few more. I have one of the door bell cameras on my front, garage (side), and back doors. One is wired and the other two I just run off of batteries. I added one of the spotlight cameras overlooking the driveway and since I mounted it fairly high I put a solar panel on it so I do not have to recharge batteries and break out the ladder every few months. It has all worked well once we improved the wifi signal at the far end of the house with much better mesh wifi hardware. Admittedly the primary use is to double check package delivery, secondary use is checking who shows up on the front porch so I know not to answer for solicitors/unknown folks. It does a good job of alerting us when someone comes up the driveway or garage side of the house since there are no windows or visibility over there from inside the house. We also have the ring alarm system with multiple door, window, and motion sensors. Probably the most interesting use was having a contractor pay for cleaning up my driveway after spilling some sort of fluid on it and just leaving it. I would have let it go as a minor issue if he had just told me it happened and asked if I had anything to clean it up. I probably would have been ok if he had just said sorry when I found it and called him after the fact. Instead he got defensive, rude, and denied it was his spill. Showed him the video footage and he back peddled pretty quickly. He had a crew out to pressure wash my drive a few days later.

Some dont mind having an invisible Gov nose ring..... when they twist it, they say Thank You, may I have another.... "In 2017, Italian researchers reviewed the ingredients of 44 types of so-called “vaccines.” They discovered heavy metal debris and biological contamination in every human vaccine they tested. The researchers stated, “The quantity of foreign bodies detected and, in some cases, their unusual chemical compositions baffled us.” They then drew the obvious conclusion, namely, that because the micro- and nanocontaminants were “neither biocompatible nor biodegradable,” they were “biopersistent” and could cause inflammatory effects right away—or later (see this)" Catherine Austin Fitts, The Injection Fraud – It’s Not a Vaccine – The Duran

I was thinking the same thing when I first read about it...lol. I think the name of the ship is named Blue Origin. I have my own twist to that name...the Blue Organ...

Just a followup, been toting the Hellcat in the Alabama Holster for a few weeks now, love it. Little things make a big diff with pocket carry, and with the extra rounds, it first felt rather heavy compared to the Kahr, but that feeling went away purt quick. And the pinky extension added an unacceptable degree of difficulty for quick deployment (so did same for the Kahr), so using with 11 round flush mag, with another one in another pocket. This thing really shoots like a bigger heater too. Snap/recoil not objectionable at all. The HC's trigger release/reset is great, much more conducive to accuracy than the Kahr's trigger, which while smooth, even with lots of practice you just could never feel exactly when the thing was gonna go bang, and it has a very long essentially zero-tactile reset. - OS

This is a 2000 Sportster 1200. It is loaded, new tires, all new fluids and ready to go anywhere. Accessories galore. It's my brother in laws and he has been asking $5,500 for it.

I read that there is a petition to bar Bezos from re-entering the atmosphere and it has 60,000 or so names. I wonder where I can add mine.

Seems like the engineering and fabrication for that shape would be more of a challenge than other basic shapes. I doubt it was done by accident. Do you reckon he paid extra for this feature?

I feel like it's purposely confusing so that grey area will be what they use to attack it when something goes wrong they can tie back to it. I dont know about anyone else but I get asked at least once a week about carry laws. You wouldn't believe what some people think is illegal and then some that are surprised to learn what IS actually illegal and they've been breaking the law for years. Goes to show you how blissfully some people neander through life.

Is it better than requiring a permit for carry at all, yes. It’s still needlessly vague, confusing and will quite likely result in someone getting hung up because they didn’t understand what it does and doesn’t do. I too am hopeful that it can be cleaned up and true constitutional carry enacted.

The bougie parts of Nashville kinda blend in together for me, but I knew one of y’all would get it.

You are correct that there are many millions of people who carry every day regardless of what the gun laws are and in clear violation of them. I do however believe that it is unfair and incorrect to assume that because one chooses to carry in violation of the law they are also the type of person to violate the life liberty or property of others. If the choice is to carry in violation of the law, or put oneself at risk and at the mercy of those who may decide that one is a target for which they wish to do harm there is no choice there at all. “In the first place, it would efface from everybody’s conscience the distinction between justice and injustice. No society can exist unless the laws are respected to a certain degree, but the safest way to make them respected is to make them respectable. When law and morality are in contradiction to each other, the citizen finds himself in the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense, or of losing his respect for the law—two evils of equal magnitude, between which it would be difficult to choose.” ― Frédéric Bastiat, quote from The Law

Does it remind you of anything in particular?

I’ll let you turn out the lights when this is done. I’m afraid we’ve got a ways to go before this thing is done though. Thankfully at least the sickness part of this pandemic is almost totally optional at this point. I’m still worried about the economic effects as variants hit largely unvaccinated countries that all affect our supply chains.

They make inserts for your glasses. for all the modern ones, at least M17 and newer.

Last street bike I had was a ‘79 Sportster. Everyone poo poos them, but I absolutely loved that bike.

I mean he himself already has a big head... maybe he thought his rocket needed one...

Maybe they hired a "head engineer"?

There are two 07 Fat Boys on Facebook Marketplace right now I am inquiring about. Any opinions on these?

Still looking.

I have a milsurp M17. Omega is right about them being a pain to change out the filters. We actually bought this one for adding chemicals to our pool. We use all liquid chemicals and liquid chlorine and muriatic acid make a combination close to mustard gas. I’m using old milsurp filters and we can’t smell anything when mixing chemicals. Now, if I knew I’d be encountering CBRN agents, I’d get a better mask, but for my needs this works, and I’d trust it in a pinch if the SHTF. Also, I doubt you will find one that would go over your glasses. The frame of the glasses would break the seal on a mask rendering it useless.

Am I the only one that feels like some are making the permitless carry law out to be worse than it is? I know it's not perfect but it still seems like a huge step in the right direction. I am hopeful they clean it up in the future.

Their customer service seems top notch also. I recently picked up a used PPS to give to my dad and found out it had an open recall. They sent me a label and I shipped it back to Arkansas. I think they had it back to my door in 10-12 days. The entire process was very easy.

I strongly suspect that were his antics continuing, even the half-assed permitless carry we now have would not have gotten through.

It was Belle Meade….good times.

That's honestly what I was leaning towards. That or a Hellcat. I love the way both felt in hand.

I’ve got into the Ring cameras. New house so we tried the Ring door bell. The Echo Show is linked to so you can see who it is. Or ask Alexa to “show me the front door” and she does. Looking at getting something for the back of the house too. We’ve already got a flood light so the camera might be a little cheaper.

When it comes to batteries and charging my Arlo that sh!t got old real quick so I ordered solar chargers for all outside units and haven't climbed a ladder since.

Great news in the LCP world! The LCP Max in .380 is just now becoming available. Same size as the LCP2, but standard mag is 10+1 and you can also get a 12+1. MSRP is $449. I just reserved one for $369. Gonna load it up with the new Federal Hydra-Shok Deep ammo, which is revolutionary for .380. Check out the reviews on LCP Max and the Federal ammo. The gun writers are going crazy over both. Now we can have a true pocket gun with 11 or 13 rounds of great performing defensive ammo.

Just as a final thought. It is far more important to me that I have a weapon with me that I know how to use and am competent with. I don’t forsee encounters with multiple immediate deadly threats at once, could be wrong! As such, the smaller more comfortable weapons like a LCP or SW snubbie far outweigh round count. Hell a good holster far outweighs round count imo So I’m a basic kinda guy

Standing there with a gun in your hand is a bad plan.

Have your cake and eat it either way.

Best I can tell, ALL politicians care more about themselves than anything else. Now, The Republicans do promise some things. And they are not against it. But, I got no faith in any of them. There are just some that I don't totally hate.

The sooner you stop believing that Republicans care about your natural rights, including the right to self-defense, the sooner you’ll stop being shocked when they don’t act in your benefit.

You think his ex-wife started that petition?

Yep

A flying pecker. Boy, that fits.

Just don’t do it in Brentwood. Please.

I tried that in the 70's
