I've recently become aware of a really cool opportunity to support TN Youth shooting sports. Over the last few years, MidwayUSA Foundation has been building a fund to endow youth shooting sports. Each year, each team can apply to receive 5% of their portion of the fund as a cash grant. This doesn't require anything of the team other than applying and generally having their finances in order. They're holding a raffle later this month where the proceeds go straight to preferred team's endowments. Tennessee's portion of the fund is administered by Tristarr-Yess and has distributed almost a $1 million dollars to Tennessee teams since 2014. Details: The Tristarr-Yess raffle will be held on October 29, 2022 -www.tnyess.net is the website to buy your tickets: 1 for $20.00, 3 for $40.00 -Over 25 prizes worth more than $5,500 will be given away -Fewer than 100 tickets have presently been sold -Winners will be notified by Tristarr-Yess and a list will be posted on the website (www.tnyess.net) -There are more than 80 teams in Tennessee with endowments summing to more than $5M If this is something that interests you, you can purchase tickets and select the team you want to support here: https://tristarryess.square.site/product/tristarr-yess-drawing-tennessee-state-registration-co42826/1

And the flat back seat floor was game changing too!

So, yes I moved to TN a couple years ago, yes mostly I agree that outsiders moving here bringing thier outisder political views with them is bad, espeically those from NY, CA and others. That said, moving here from ID has been somwhat oppressive as far as gun freedoms go. The latest post about Wilson Co Fairgrounds using metal detectors is one of those opressions. So, yes, I would love to bring some of my "outisder politics" with me and figure out a way to "infect" TN law with them. Here we go! 1. ID has a thing called the "Supremacy Clause." Essentially, no local governemnt, city or county could pass laws or ordinaces that were more restrictive than what the state has on file. What this meant for guns is that with a state CC permit you could carry anywhere that was not federally prohibited. So for the county fairs (on county/city owned property) and similar, they could not bar you and your CCW from entering. There was none of this park BS like here. Essentialy, if you were legal to carry, you could carry everywhere (except schools, courthouses, jails, ect.). The only limit to this was drinking, you could carry into a bar but could not drink while carrying. 2. "No Weapons Allowed Signs." WTF is this nonsense in TN? ID had no such law. None! As a private business, the owner could post they did not allow weapons but as there was no state law against it, all they could ever do was ask you to leave. If you didn't, then it was trepassing. But there was none of this "get arrested" stuff that TN has on it's books becuse your wife choose the wrong resturant and you didn't notice the sign. 3. Mandatory background checks on all purchases. Huh? In ID, if you had a CC permit, you did not need background checks to purchase guns in a store or from a dealer. I know this may be hard to believe, but you picked out a gun, filled out your 4473, gave the store your money and your CC Permit to copy info from, and walked out the door with your new gun. No background check, no "gun tax" "fee" "state bribe" or whatever BS this thing in TN is. I was a little taken back by it the fist time I bought a gun in TN to say the least. 4. Shooting on Public Land. Didn't know that was a thing here till the county SO stopped by one day and told me I couldn't do that in the state forrest. Granted, there was much more public land than in TN and that may be the reason. Between FS, BLM, and state land, there was more public acerage than the entire state of TN but still, we could, and did, drive up to any hill-side, set up a bunch of targets and had a full day shooting, even camp over night and clean guns by a camp fire. At the end of the day, pack out all the garbage, clean up the site and went on our way. So long as were safe and didn't put anyone in danger, there were no restrictions on it. 5. Open carry. Guns in racks in your back window. AK's sitting on the back seat. Rifle strapped to my back while ridding my motorcylce to and from the range never got a second glance by law enforement. Even in the cities it was never questioned or harrasable. I have the feeling if tried that in TN, much less through Nashville, Clarksville, Memphis or any other municipality I would be at the least stopped and invesitgated, more likely get a new set a braclets of trying to have some freedom. So. Too reach the end of my rant, yes, I would love to change some TN laws to match the freedom I came from and why I have to hold my tongue everytime someone describes TN as a gun "friendly state" because I do not see it as such. Now, I moved here to get away from desert, forrest fires, Californication that was taking place, and the long drives to be in the woods that were involved. Who else would like to see some of these laws here changed?

I don't have a place of my own, and likely don't have the time to get out for a squirrel hunt, but Cedar Forest on the West Side of Highway 231 right across from Cedars of Lebanon State Park would give you access to about 2500 mostly wooded acres just a short drive from Murfreesboro. If you aren't familiar with the area, you can park along the access road and walk in wherever you like. Most of the roads loop back into the main road. It is mentioned in the TWRA hunting guide, but difficult to find information about what type of permits are needed. The link given in the regulation guide does not work. I did find a contact number for Richard Saltsman, who is listed on the state website as the public contact for Cedar Forest good phone number is 615-443-2768 and his email is Richard.Saltzman@tn.gov. He should be about to tell you exactly what is required.

and for adults, seen this backstage at a concert.

I'll take them. PM sent.

Sig Sauer 1911 C3 in .45 ACP. Comes in the case, unknown round count but appears as unfired to my eyes. Includes 1 - 7 round factory mag. $800 ftf in or around Lenoir City, Oak Ridge, Harriman area. Would make a fantastic carry piece. The only trades I would be interested in would be a 9mm 1911 or 2011 with me adding cash or Sig 9mm double stacks.

Fuse fired rockets?

Portuguese paratroopers with original AR10s.

I am convinced that Ford has made a deal with the devil when it comes to legroom in the rear seating positions. They manage to squeeze out far more knee room and head room back there than any other manufacturer. My 2011 Raptor was like the damned Tardis inside. Passengers couldn't believe how much room they had in the back seat. I miss that truck.

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but there are already complaints about the new plates. It seems that the traffic cameras and license plate readers don't like the white on blue design and are having trouble reading them. I think that is a good thing.

It doesn't really feel like a small truck while driving it. I went from an F-150 that I bought new in 2009 to the Maverick. The hood is squared up and the truck feels much wider than it looks. I have owned two new Ford Rangers in years past and the Maverick feels like it has much more room than a Ranger. The only complaint that I have so far is engine noise. It just seems to me that the turbocharged 4 cylinder engine has more whine to it than 4 cylinders that I have owned it the past. That being said it is a powerhouse. If I accidentally step on it too hard it will definitely spin the tires. I am 5' 11" and have plenty of headroom with my hat on. The backseat clears my knees with about 4 inches to spare. It is plenty comfortable for 4 people. I have hauled two new boxed up recliners in the back. Also an oak desk and a 10" step ladder. If you don't really need a truck but then again sometimes you do, this might be the answer.

Do you still have the .22LR? If so, I'll take it PM date/time for pickup. I'm in Midtown so 25min± from Butcher Shop

You’re absolutely right. Prices are the craziest I’ve ever seen. I’d love to go back to a Toyota, but I’m driving my 2005 Chevy Z71 until it goes down, and when it does I’ll go buy a new.......engine and transmission, and another Harley. And STILL have less hurt feelings than trying to buy a new truck.

I've killed a few with a Ruger MkII. Missed a bunch too.

You might try one of those new 410’s designed for turkey hunting.

And the back seat that doesn't fold down, but it doo.
