I've had them follow me like that, when I know I've done nothing wrong too. I usually just pull over and see if he pulls over too. Maybe I'll find out what the hell he wants.3 points

Id be interested in several of these, but im not going thru the hassle of guessing models and pming for price. The proper and faster way would be to list each gun with its model and price, Its really not that hard.3 points

I really think Ruger erred when they discontinued the SR series. They are really good pistols.3 points

I generally try to keep this kind of chit chat out of the classifieds and stick to PM's for conversations pertaining to the item in question. That's respect for the rules put in place by TGODavid. But I do thank you @derffor the suggestion. However in this instance NOT responding openly and publicly in this ad may give some newer members on here the impression I am attempting to hide something and I certainly don't want that. I won't go into debate here but my take on having a license is operating with the sole purpose of profit and doing so frequently. Most if not all the firearms I have listed on here currently I can place the year or near the year they were purchased and a lot of times where and who they came from. For instance this RIA came from the Quinn family of the famous online site Gunblast and the famous Jeff Quinn. the Kahr Mk9 on here was bought in the late 90's, the 59 2014. I could go on but you get the picture. There are several on here that know my passion and help feed it lol. And for that I am most grateful. As to having "soo many" I truly hope we never get to the point where we have a definition of how many we can have. I do ask that no one " BOB " this ad and respond here. If anyone would like debate me I welcome it but ask that you do so via PM or if you have my number text me. Now, it came back home with me today after a day of fondling so someone on here needs this2 points

If it helps anyone else, I picked up NordVPN yesterday. Playing with it still, but after adding to Desktop, iPhone, and Firestick its seems pretty good. Not seeing any decrease in speed to my fiber connection on speedtests. Love seeing geoblocking is no longer a worry. Uncensored news and the UK library for TV streaming! Look forward to the roadracing season starting up.2 points

To put it in perspective: I have a friend who owns property on the plateau. It's a couple of hours drive & he does have hogs. I've killed a few up there over the years. I can spend a week on his place & maybe kill a pig. Or, I can drive 12 hours to east Texas, 10 to central Florida, 6 to South Georgia or 4 to central Alabama, spend a day or two there & fill my truck bed.2 points

I think the main thing here is how the spotlights are blinding people as they drive by the Deputy/Officer/Trooper or whoever. I dont do it and neither do anyone else I know. I haven't seen it either when driving on interstates. People saying that they are doing it to see if you have seat belts on ? Man, you must have some good eyes because there's no way I could see inside a moving vehicle and determine anything if a vehicles is going 70+mph in the dark with a blinding light shining on it for a fraction of a second. At very rare times LEO will spot light cars to check for certain ones if they are looking for a felony suspect that has just happened near that area and the make color and model of the car is know that the suspect left in. But just sitting in he median or road side with the light on is a hazzard to drivers and could blind them. I would say it's accidental and the person left it turned on. I have did it before with overhead lights. But if this is a repeated thing over and over again i say it's intentional and you could call 911 and say that a unit in the area is blinding drivers with a spotlight turned on.2 points

I hate this line so very much. Just let them listen to your calls, what's the big deal if you are doing nothing wrong? Just let them search your car, what's the bid deal if you are doing nothing wrong? Just let them pull you over and try and find something on you. What's the big deal if you are doing nothing wrong? Just let them read all your messages, what's the big deal if you are doing nothing wrong?2 points

Here's mine. A Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Classic in 280 Remington. It's killed a LOT of deer since I bought it 30+ years ago. Show me yours.1 point

Just picked up one. Nice pistol. Comes with regular 3-dot sights (rear is height adjustable), two 17 round magazines. Mags are made in Italy and look like Mec-Gar with anti friction coating. Pistol has a external safety (ambi) and magazine disconnect. The loaded chamber indicator is on top of the slide and sticks up quite a bit with a round chambered. None of this really bothers me and the mag disconnect is easy to remove if so desired. Pistol has good accuracy and is easy to shoot well. Grip is thinner than a lot of similar pistols. Full take down requires punches/hammer so not as easy as some others. Field strip does not require a trigger pull but you must push the ejector down to remove the slide, and either pull it up or insert a mag to raise the ejector back into operational position when reassembled. Overall a decent pistol and after 600 rounds there has been no pistol related problems This pistol is as accurate or a little more so than my Glock 48, which I like a lot and carry. May put the Ruger SR9 into carry rotation.1 point

Glock 27 gen 4 with three standard mags and one glock 23 mag with a sleeve to give your more grip. Two of the standard mags and the 23 mag is full of duty/SD ammo. Also has night sights, Truglo I believe. Unknown round count I have had this for several years but works perfect. I only have one of the backstraps that came with. Also the standard box. $450 OBO. Face to face near Goodlettsville must be legal to possess and own a firearm and be a TN resident.1 point

Like Handsome Rob said, Tn. does have some but, they're not as common as in other states. In a lot of areas, they are spread out a lot. And can sometimes be hard to find. They move around quite a bit too.1 point

Funny thing. I found out earlier this week that the brand new tag I picked up on Feb 11 was marked as expiring Jan 31. You know. 11 days before I got it. The county clerks office is supposed to be sending me a new registration card and sticker but the 5-0 didnt stop me for it. The guard didnt want to let me on base though.1 point

You hit the nail on the head regarding a Pro model of the SR9. Everyone I talk to who owned or carried the SR9 things that would have been a significant upgrade and good seller. The SR series were better guns than both of the following offerings from Ruger.1 point

I'd may be helpful to get specific timeframes on the anecdotes. The only time I hit up Walther was after ordering a new standard barrel to swap into my Q4 tac when I found a problem with it. They asked for a pic, sent me label within the hour, and a new barrel arrived 3 days later. Around Nov '18. Generally had pretty nice service within the industry for the handful of times I've had to deal with something. Overall I have found Springfield to be the most consistent overtime, always top marks for me. Sig is the most spoty, base on who you get and day they are having. S&W wheel guns are not something I will buy online anymore, only in person with feeler gauges in hand to check their barrel fitting since they no longer seem to check forcing cone gaps or if a barrel is clocked right. Generally it does seem that QC in the last 3 to 5 years has slipped. But to be fair, I have bought a lot more guns over the last 3 years compared to the prior 10 since moving away from a restricted blue state where I could not buy those guns.1 point

Late to the party here but my SR9 has been my EDC for over 3 years. I didn't realize Ruger discontinued it. Boo to Ruger. Are you carrying yours and still liking it, @DWARREN123? I use a hybrid IWB crossbreed holster and carrying the SR9 is super comfortable to me pretty much regardless of circumstances. The safety is the only thing I dislike since I don't want one and don't use it. I could do without the loaded chamber indicator but it doesn't bother me. To me, a "pro" model would be nice, like the LC9s pro which I also own. I think they could've done a number of things to reduce the manufacturing cost if that was a factor in their decision but who am I to say what they should've done. Haha!1 point

I would be interested in several of the .22 rifles and handguns. Please post a list with prices. I'm specifically looking for a SAA type .22.1 point

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas...... Tennessee does have hogs, but they're not as common as people think & hunting them is tough. We're close enough that it's far more convenient to hunt them where they actually are, than try to find them where they might be.1 point

Department of Safety sent a squad to the Sponsor's office to try and insist he pull the bill. Their stance was that they (most likely Commissioner Jeff Long and his sidekick Terry Ashe) did not want people walking around with AKs and ARs (even though 37 other states allow loaded long gun carry sans permits and 2 others with a permit). When he showed them a picture of an AR Pistol and told them it was legal now to carry the same action with a short barrel, easily concealable, they told him no, you could not...and yes, you can. Would I, no, but can I legally, yes indeed. Were they trying to bluff, or are they that uneducated as to the facts?1 point

POWDER UPDATE We have and will always appreciate feedback from our community, and we hear you and your suggestions for us to make more powder. With this post, our goal is to clear up several items and dispel misinformation. WHY CAN’T HODGDON MAKE MORE POWDER? We wish it were that simple - what we have experienced since 2020 is a demand issue and not a supply issue. The reality is we are doing everything possible to maximize shipments to our customers, including running overtime in production, packaging and shipping areas and working with our shipping partners to add new inbound and outbound shipping options. We are absolutely shipping more powder to our customers. The issue is this powder is quickly purchased when our retailers place it on store shelves or on their websites. Hodgdon will continue to ship powder, but the inventory situation will likely continue until demand begins to normalize. WHY CAN’T HODGDON BUILD ANOTHER POWDER PLANT? A new powder production facility would require an investment far beyond our finances and no financial institution would finance this type of building project. While the current demand appears to be different from demand spikes in the last 20 years, the “normal” powder demand for the U.S. would not support an additional manufacturing plant. Most companies cannot afford to build a new production facility and then have it sit idle until demand spikes. An additional complicating factor would be locating this plant – there are only a handful of these facilities in North America and none have been built in the last 30 years. WHY CAN’T HODGDON SHIP MORE POWDER? As we’ve shared in many responses to our social audience, this is a demand issue and not a supply issue. Demand for ALL ammunition and reloading components is at historic levels. The fact is we continue to ship more powder to our customers, but this powder is quickly purchased by end consumers as soon as it is offered for sale. WHY IS HODGDON SELLING POWDER TO AMMUNITION MANUFACTURERS? Our focus is the handloading enthusiast. Yes, we sell some powder to strategic, mostly smaller ammunition manufacturers, but that is a small part of our business. The heart of our business is smokeless powder for the handloading enthusiast. Every day, we receive calls from potential OEM customers who are looking for powder to load in ammunition. Every day, we politely decline this new business so we can focus on our long-term customers and sales channels and most importantly, our costumers who have supported us for decades. WHY IS HODGDON SELLING POWDER ON AUCTION SITES? Hodgdon does not sell powder on any online auction sites. We sell through traditional sales channels to wholesalers, retailers and dealer customers. While we recently began selling direct-to-consumer on our own websites, we prioritize our shipments to our traditional sales channels to maximize powder availability at sporting goods and gun shops everywhere. WHY IS THE PRICE OF POWDER SO HIGH ON THE INTERNET? Hodgdon has increased prices over the last several years to partially offset our increased labor, raw materials and transportation costs, but we are not and will not gouge our consumer end users who are looking for powder to load for their own use. We sell through traditional sales channels to wholesalers, retailers and dealer customers. We do not encourage any of our retailers or dealers to sell on auction sites, but we cannot control what happens after we sell to our traditional sales channels. On our own websites, we have placed product limits on purchases so that we can maximize the number of customers who can buy our powder. CLOSING NOTES: Hodgdon is still a small business, with fewer than a hundred employees between three facilities in Kansas and Montana. We are not driven by profit-margin spreadsheets, but rather tradition and a genuine love for our jobs and what is made possible because of the work we do. Serving you is our privilege and a blessing. In the current political climate, demand for our product has never been higher. Coupled with COVID restrictions, we have what some might refer to as “the perfect storm.” Regardless, we remain steadfast and resolute in our purpose to put powder in your hands, our shooting community.1 point

No, but I’ve known him for a decade or three. ‘Bob is Bob’ is the best I can offer as to his online & offline persona. The Walther magazine issue was a year ago, and I even started a thread in the Walther forum about it. That place is a mausoleum so I basically talked to & updated the issues to myself.0 points

Thanks, I will look int this. I really haven't gotten into audio books, especially since I retired. lol. But there are times I wonder if it would work for me. I could put on headphones and tune out the wife...uh...I mean not hear the tv and be interrupted by gushing wedding plans and tales of reunited lost loves on the Hallmark movies.0 points
