Believable as anything being reported on MSNBC or CNN.

Sad. He was a good man. Didn't care for some things he had said in the last few years, but overall seemed a true partiot who worked for the betterment of his country. My condolences for his family.

Nope, I didn't bid . . . https://www.fieldandstream.com/guns/john-waynes-true-grit-gun-sells/

I think anyone that believes it should have their sanity checked.

Halfway off topic, but close. Growing up in Chattanooga, ours was a two-story house next to a rental house that was a slum. As long as people lived there, the huge rats that infested the house stayed in the rental house. Whenever the house went vacant, the rats came to our house. At the ripe old age of 12, I figured out a solution. I'd open the second story window in the kitchen, and fry a thick piece of bacon and throw it out into the driveway. Then I'd put a .22 Short in the top barrel of my Savage .22/.401 o/u and wait. In a few minutes a rat would come out of the house to "dine." I'd let one start to chow, and then, "POW!" Largest one day take was 28. That house next door remained more fun in the future when it was empty!

Okay,..... you have a point.

I grew up in Chattanooga too. I dispatched many a squirrel off mom's bird feeders with .22 shorts.

Story had it that Powell was the one that stopped the 101st Airborne from advancing on into Bagdad after Saddam when they were in striking distance. Stupid move. You know what happened later. We went back again after Saddam & his weapons of mass destruction.

I agree. I read his book and it was obvious he was a little bit more political while in the Army, but still, a good man.

I, for one, am not a fan at all of all this. There's nothing wrong with staying small towns and rural. our great state is being ruined, and our politicians are doing all they can to hasten making our state like the the others. Really sad.

Seems like a negative test from both would suffice, getting the shot just potentially makes them MORE dangerous than not having any CCP virus components. IMO The medical community has gone nuts, treating people worse than animals: https://rumble.com/vnnqc9

if youve given up on the private party search RKguns.com has a good deal on them and you can have it delivered to the local Rural King for $12

Just announced! Smith & Wesson is moving their Headquarters to Marysville! Let's hope they start moving their manufacteuring here as well. https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2021/09/30/smith-wesson-moving-hq-from-massachusetts-to-tennessee-n50440

Got it, thanks!

I want John Wayne’s double-barrel shotgun from McLintock that he poked that settler at the clay slide with and called him Pilgrim.

Ugh! Don't get ME started on Let's Go Brandon. LOL!

My thoughts are (rhymes with ) the NFL

Not been to Murfreesboro or Cookeville lately? Jeez, it's like they've been GIVING away houses there. If you guys think Knoxville is behind in infrastructure, take a drive though downtown Nashville or Chattanooga sometime. Both have only three lanes of interstate running each way through their downtown areas. Both are extremely complicated by the numerous uses of bridges, which would require replacing when the interstate adds lanes. I'd bet that'd be a 10 year project in either city. TN is restricted from borrowing money for road projects, which is a good thing, IMO. But it's a bit past critical & quickly advancing upon emergency, IMO.

I know there's a lot of people that live & breathe this kinda stuff, but I've never been into hero worship. I like John Wayne, watch his movies many times, but wouldn't pay that kind of money ( even if I had it ), for something he owned. Never made sense to me to stand in line for something with their signature on it, unless it's a good check. To each his/her own, but count me out. JMHO

Good job both of you

Nice cleavage!

Me too.

.

Justify it all you want, guys. That was a trashy, despicable display.

Wyze cams. 20 bucks each

Do you like this speedloader better than the one from Uplula?

Should have kept the one I bought earlier this summer! LOL! Found it. Bought it. Sold it to a friend without firing it. Big regrets now.

Well Done, Pop!

She done good, real good, Dad did good as well!

Wow. You haven't found one since May? ;-< I'm not selling mine but when you do get one make sure you buy an american speedloader. I'm cheap and they are a little pricey but so worth it for the CP and PMR. Good luck in your search.

Looks like the boys may have to be as scared of her as ole' Dad.

Went to the range Saturday and shot a few of my guns that I'd not shot yet. Both of my S&W Victory .22s shoot beautifully, with no issues. Also shot my Glock 45 for the first time. Ran 50 rounds though it flawlessly. I can see why everyone likes this gun.

I'm surprised this wasn't already in effect. Transplants are risky enough when the recipients and donors don't already have communicable diseases, and typically require that both are up to date on about every vaccination available. Given the expense, risk factors and long waiting lists for organs i would have thought most places were already doing this ...

You're right. Powder back then was $10 pound. I used to buy all my primers off of Hi'Tech. Last time I bought they were $125/5000! I sold a bunch of cleaning rod sets. I sold the rods and handle for the Garand/Carbine for $5.00 set. Same on the .50 cal. Sold the old M16 sets for $10 set. People bought parts like crazy. Most I've ever sold there.

I can name off almost a dozen instances of other SEC as well as non-SEC crowds whom became obnoxious. GA fans got tear gassed one year when they beat Florida. Tear gassed at a football game! UT fans tell story after story of having beer thrown or poured on them in Gainsville. Fulmer's wife & kids had to go get security one year when they became harassed beyond the normal. Even Vandy has been guilty of throwing things onto the field of play, resulting in fines to the school. It cost them a win against Florida one year when CM Newton was coach. Yes, it was a classless act on the fans part. But UT is by no means alone in this behavior, nor can I recall them doing this in the past. Not sure how you arrive at "as usual" in your comment. I also note Pred fans got into a fight with Seattle fans last week in Nashville at a hockey game. Classless Pred fans "as usual" there too?

Hello WillyK. Welcome to tgo

Sounds pretty familiar, Willy. Welcome to the forum!

Blount is far from a poor county.

More details in this story from Guns America Digest: https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/breaking-smith-wesson-to-relocate-headquarters-to-tennessee/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20211001_FridayDigest_350&utm_campaign=/digest/breaking-smith-wesson-to-relocate-headquarters-to-tennessee/ Key Facts: The facility in Springfield, Massachusetts will be reconfigured but will remain operational.

The company’s plastic injection molding facility in Deep River, Connecticut, which services both Smith & Wesson as well as a significant number of external customers, will be sold. The Smith & Wesson portion of the operations will be moved to the new facility in Maryville, Tennessee, however, the external customer business will remain in Connecticut and will be divested. The company’s distribution operations in Columbia, Missouri will be moved to the new facility in Maryville, Tennessee, and the Columbia, Missouri facility will be marketed for sublease. The relocation will have no impact on the company’s operations in Houlton, Maine.

I had a similar issue with some ammo I purchased at a show some time ago. It was being sold as new, brand name stuff. Turned out to be reloads in a brand name box. I suspected it was reloaded as soon as I opened the box. Which is what I should have done at the time of purchase. Now I open the box whenever making a purchase from an individual.

Tuesday bump Thanks for those letting me know that there are some available out in the wild - I prefer to purchase private party if at all possible.

Dunno how long he'd had the multiple myeloma, but it's basically a 6ish year death sentence, with plenty of misery on the journey -- and yes both the disease and the treatment make you uber vulnerable to all types of infections that most folks even of the same age would just shrug off. (My dad died of it, and actually lasted about 8 years from diagnosis). - OS

From the recent display of how to act i consider that very cosmopolitan

Well...I was just checking .

Indeed; talk about entitlement attitude. No one owes anyone a transplant or an extra organ if folks are unwilling to accept and follow other medical directions.

I’m thinking of petitioning the TWRA to waive the blaze orange requirements for deer hunters. After last night, I would nearly prefer to be mistaken for a game animal than a UT fan.

FOUND IT!!!!

In my experience, the best deer attractant is being midway down the ladder of your tree stand.
