The older I get, the more I understand and relate to Red Foreman.

Reason number 4198 as to why not to go to California!

I am 99.9% sure people that pay for the benefactor membership can bypass this restriction. It’s only money and it supports the site. This site is great?

I considered Red Foreman a mentor.

This is simply a classic example of "it's not what you say, it's how you say it". Usually when you start a conversation with "Hey, Dumbass" it doesn't go so well. My real consternation about this whole thing is I have a hard time not starting most conversations today without "Hey Dumbass".

Custom ABolt 25.06… absolute tack driver. Old Burris Euro Diamond 30mm that I love as well.

I want to be the one making the decision as to who knows I am carrying. Same as I don't flash wads of cash or have my address on the back of my shirt. If I want to stand out, boy do I know how to, but I would rather not. Means I get to avoid dealing with lots of aholes and general complications in my daily life. I am good with that. That's my right. (See what I did there?)

Available is a 2017 model Yamaha FZ07 with 3,812 miles. Comes with Dyno Jet power Commander and full Akropovic exhaust installed. Also has frame sliders and aftermarket adjustable levers installed. Bike has been adult owned and responsibility operated. This bike sounds amazing and is fun to ride, I just don't have time to ride anymore. Asking $5500. Available in or around the murfreesboro area.

Just finished my first full year in TN. Loving every minute of it. I relocated from Southern California (Orange County). Some things from the last year : * Most people here are very friendly, really can't complain about the people at all. If they don't like you, they'll tell you . . . which is much better than the fake friendlyness of CA. * Winters are different, but not bad. Yes, it gets colder and it does last longer than OC, but not nearly as bad as some people think (note, I grew up in Connecticut so it was a lot colder) * Summers get more humid, but didn't find it unbearable. * Housing is big. Houses in TN are built different, and honestly, not as well as the SoCal houses. One thing that CA has are a lot of laws and rules around house building, some of them make sense, especially after seeing some of the work done on the houses here. Newer houses are much closer to the CA standards though. * Finding good contractors has been HARD, really HARD. Lots of flaky contractors, really have to be on top of them or they just stop showing up or do crappy work. One guy I have been using and like, said that there aren't so many restrictions so just about anyone with a hammer and some nails claim to be a contractor. So watch out. * Roads, oh man, I40, you have to dodge cars driving like crazy, worry about the truck behind you no further back than 3 feet, and the massive amount of pot holes. Ugh. * If you get away from cities, there is a ton of open land, everywhere. It's beautiful out there, go explore! * If you're from SoCal like me, having 2 or 3 days of rain a year, you're in for a surprise, 2 or 3 days a week more like it. Not bad, but different. When buying a house, make sure you're not going to have a leaky basement or in a flood zone. * So much peace and quiet, it is great. I'm sure there is more, but man, I love being in TN. Just got my Hunting and Fishing license, so I'm ready to go. NOTE: it seems like they are valid from Feb to Feb every year, so if you buy it in September it is only good until February. Now is a really good time to buy yours. $160/year for the all inclusive sportsman (with few exceptions). Now I just need some fishing gear and some more guns.

Got these, both 9mm from my father. He got one of them back in 1950's when painting houses, the guy who's house he was painting couldn't pay him and gave him the gun instead. The other he was at a gas station a few years later and someone walked in with it asking if anyone wanted to buy it. He paid $10. They both shoot like a dream; very accurate. The re-blued one isn't all matching, the other is.

Back in 2001 I went to visit friends in Missouri for a few days. At that time they didn't have CCW, but open carry was legal. So I open carried while I was there. To their credit, nobody said anything. However, everywhere I went people looked, even stared. Every time we went somewhere, I was gettin' the hard eyeball. Frankly, it made me uncomfortable. I have no desire to do that again.

Selling my NIB M4 lower. Must meet in Murfreesboro or I’ll be in Cookeville for the weekend text preferred 801-244-2748

It is, but I have an additional stock spacer for it that I’ve just not put in yet due to lack of having range time

Just adding to an old post with a recent experience. I have used DTV Tactical Innovations here in the Nashville area to engrave three SBR lowers. They are located in the Royal Range USA building. They were laser engraved and they knocked the three of them off while I waited. https://www.dtvtacticalinnovations.com/

Evening Gentleman I have a chance to purchase a Rex Zero One. At a good price (I think)After some research one line I think this may be a good purchase Was wondering if anyone here has any first hand experience seems to be very close to the Sig 226 and many on line compared the 2 first picture is of the Rex second is next to a 226

Today, where ever you can find it. If you ever get toward Mt. Juliet, The Reloader’s Bench is probably your best bet.

Makes me no difference to me. I just thought the OP was a peckerhead. Turns out I wasn’t wrong.

I don't think I have ever seen and exposed water line to a house. Are you talking meter to home or PEX/copper in a crawlspace? If the the former they are 100% underground to the house. If you meant the later I am not sure how you would do it any different other than the lines being buried in a concrete slab foundation. Same goes for gas lines. They are 100% underground until the get to the meter at the side of the home. Foundation choices are often about ground type, ground water/water table, and cost. Concrete slab foundations are expensive. They are only used when absolutely needed/required. Go toward West TN and most homes are slab foundation with no crawlspaces or basements, water table is high and crawlspaces would stay wet. Here in Middle TN there are few basements and many crawlspace based homes. Lots of rock and fewer water table issues. Crawlspace construction is generally flexible, cheap, and efficient. Less digging, rock breaking, or blasting is needed.

They just changed the rules on the hunting/fishing licenses. Now they are good for 12 months from whenever you buy them.

I don’t OC in public, just like some of you I thinks it draws a lot of unwanted attention. I like the element of surprise.Just my opinion. I do OC on my farm sometimes, but hardly leave the house without something on me, handgun , shotgun or rifle.I’m lucky, I’m out in the sticks, where I can pee or shoot off my back porch.

The simple answer is just don't do it.

I've been using PIA (Private Internet Access). One of the things I like about it is that they specifically go out of their way to say that they don't keep any logs. This is critical for privacy; if they keep logs they can be retrieved with a court order and track you down. If there are no logs kept, then there is nothing to get and thus you're privacy is secured better. NOTE: NORDVPN also has a strict no log policy.

I have high hopes for this little 25.06 hunting rig, if I ever have time to sight it in. I picked this up when the folks at “camping world” when full blow libtard and ditched guns/ammo … for a SONG! I’ve never had a compact 25.06 setup so not sure yet how it’ll perform but if it’s like the 7mm08 steyr mountain rifle I let get away from me it’ll be a tack driver. Had a 1” tube side focus Super Slam in a dark corner of one of the safes that should work out fine on it

Open-carry used to be the only way that regular civilians could carry a handgun in Kentucky. We had the ability to do that without a permit for as long as I can remember. Long before Kentucky started making the Concealed Deadly Weapon License a thing. Back in my late high-school and early college years, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I worked at one of the Wal-Mart stores in my hometown. We had an old farmer who would come into the store almost every weekend with a chromed 8-inch revolver of some sort strapped to his leg in a legit cowboy leather holster. Being a kid who grew up in a police and military family and who hunted often, I was enamored by firearms, so this guy's heater never bothered me. But it sure drew some attention from everyone else. The way he was eyeballed throughout the store by our store's management and other customers made an impression on me. It made me adverse to that sort of attention and made me appreciate the concealed aspect of the CDWL once Kentucky started issuing them.

Made several threads shorter and more legible in one swing. I wonder if he’ll wake up hung over tomorrow wondering what the heck happened?

FFS.

No idea either, Mac. We've been down the OC/CC road like 3000 times.

I do not have a problem with OC. The few I have seen were not showing off or trying to be the center of attention. To each their own. I am more interested in what they are carrying and if I "need" one. I do not think anyone is scared one way or the other. The people of this forum are quality folks as best I can tell. Many served their country and put their lives on the line to do so, scared, not a chance. We certainly do all not agree on everything but tend to disagree politely. I would suggest you do as well.

I hope you hang around for the long haul, but just a bit of friendly advice: you might consider toning it down a notch or two.

Ain’t it a good feeling when you can solve an issue like this yourself? I know I usually enjoy what few times it’s happened to me.

Its called common courtesy. No reason to alarm otherwise good people just because you want to show off and be the center of attention.

With apologies, all discussions of the subject are being kept to a single thread in the Benefactor Lounge.

www.handgunlaw.us Maybe this will give you some answers.

New members can not send pm’s. They can receive them but not send them. This was just recently implemented to combat scammers on the site.

Just did this to my Spyderco Sage 5 lightweight. Wanted a sharpening choil but didn't want a sharpening choil so...

That's the old .38/44 High Velocity load. Predecessor to the .357 magnum. It should only be used in strong, large frame guns. It won't blow up smaller framed guns, but it will accelerate and cause un-necessary wear. Plus its downright unpleasant to shoot in smaller guns.

If you believe that, then I have a NFL team to sell you. Cheap. Humidity is good for you. Keeps one's skin moist & makes a cold beer taste much, much better.

Ok, "one" of my favorites a 1975 made 336 Marlin 35 Rem. Shortened to 16.5". RP

I'm with Sidinman, have a safe full of deer rifles and have bloodied them all. As I grow long in the tooth, I am slowly selling off my deer rifles (thank you TGO). Have killed a lot of deer also with my bows, muzzleloaders and handguns. But if I have a favorite deer rifle, it would have to be my Ruger M77 International .243 I bought in my twenties. It was my first deer rifle and the only one I had, because back then, raising a family and carving out a life was a bit tougher for me. 45 years later, and sitting comfortable, I have quite a few, almost to the point I think it's silly. But as I slowly let them go, if and when I get back to one rifle (don't hold your breath) it would be this one. Lots of memories, lots of venison, and a few big racks to boot. It has served me well.

This 700P in 308 has put a lot of deer down

This subject was raised a few months back and I was educated and corrected by more knowledgeable members here on the law regarding it. You only need the correct form if you were going to transfer it In a title II status. Removing the stock and replacing it in a brace returns into a title I status and means that you can travel across state lines with it freely. An SBR is only treated as an SBR when it is configured as an SBR. Changing the configuration changes the way it is treated under the law.

Well, I don't have a dog in the fight, but respectfully, you've missed on this one. Removing the short barrel from an SBR removes it from NFA purview. It becomes a normal CGA firearm, ie a receiver. Changing to a 16" barrel (a properly pinned barrel of that length counts also), makes it a normal CGA rifle. Which may be traveled with across state lines without a form, and may be sold under same provisions as any other CGA rifle. Because it is no longer an SBR, as unlike a machine gun, ATF considers the configuration of SBR/SBS in the "totality of its configuration. Now, the original lower is still "in the registry" and though not required, is a good idea to notify ATF in writing of it's current state and your desire to permanently remove it from the registry, and it's usually suggested to send it via registered mail to get a signature receipt. (Although nothing is ever actually "removed" from the registry, even a destroyed firearm, it is simply annotated as to its new status.) The one proviso is to never have in your possession a short barrel that fits the firearm without its having a legal use other than making a short barreled rifle, but of course that is the same for any rifle configuration. I offer as support the following FAQ in my archives from ATF site, which I admit has changed around to where I can't find it onsite there anymore. I think they do that every few years to keep everyone guessing. Note the last paragraph in particular as regards SBR and long barrel. -------------------- Q: May I transfer the receiver of a short-barrel rifle or shotgun to an FFL or to an individual as I would any GCA firearm? A: Yes. A weapon that does not meet the definition of a NFA firearm is not subject to the NFA and a possessor or transferor needn't comply with NFA requirements. The firearm is considered a GCA firearm and may be transferred under the provisions of that law. Q: Who is responsible for notifying the NFA Branch when I transfer the GCA firearm to a FFL or another individual? A: There is no requirement that the transferor or transferee of a GCA firearm notify the NFA branch of a transfer or that either party determine whether the firearm was previously registered under the NFA. There is no also no requirement for the registrant or possessor of a NFA firearm to notify ATF of the removal of features that caused the firearm to be subject to the NFA; however, ATF recommends the owner notify the NFA Branch in writing if a firearm is permanently removed from the NFA. Q: What is the registered part of a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) or Short Barreled Shotgun (SBS)? A: While a receiver alone may be classified as a firearm under the Gun Control Act (GCA), SBRs and SBSs are classified in totality under the National Firearms Act (NFA). A firearm that meets the definition of a SBR consists of a rifle that has a barrel less than 16 inches in length. A SBS consists of a shotgun that has a barrel less than 18 inches in length. The serialized receiver is recorded for registration in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR). Q: I possess a properly registered SBR or SBS. I intend to strip the receiver and remove the barrel prior to selling the receiver. Is the bare receiver still subject to regulation under the NFA as a SBR or SBS? A: A stripped receiver without a barrel does not meet the definition of a SBR or SBS under the NFA. Although the previously registered firearm would remain registered unless the possessor notified the NFA Branch of the change, there is no provision in statute or regulation requiring registration of a firearm without a barrel because its physical characteristics would make it only a GCA firearm pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3)(B). If the subsequent owner buys the receiver as a GCA firearm and installs a barrel less than 16 inches in length (SBR) or 18 inches in length (SBS), the firearm would be subject to a $200 making tax and registration under the NFA by the manufacturer or maker of the SBR or SBS. Because registration depends upon the stated intent of the applicant, there is no provision to allow registration of a NFA firearm by anyone other than the maker or manufacturer. Q: If I remove the short barrel from the registered SBR or SBS, is the receiver still subject to NFA transfer and possession regulations? A: If the possessor retains control over the barrel or other parts required to assemble the SBR or SBS, the firearm would still be subject to NFA transfer and possession regulations. ATF recommends contacting State law enforcement officials to ensure compliance with state and local law. Q: Does the installation of a barrel over 16 inches in length (SBR) or 18 inches in length (SBS) remove the firearm from the purview of the NFA? If so, is this considered a permanent change? A: Installation of a barrel greater than 16 inches in length (SBR) or 18 inches in length (SBS) will remove the firearm from the purview of the NFA provided the registrant does not maintain control over the parts necessary to reconfigure the firearm as a SBR or SBS. ----- - OS

My worst reloaded hull didn't look that bad. Looks like a 3rd grader did it out in the back yard with a rubber mallet. LOL
