Y’all are both longtime forum members - and @Links2k is a far cry from anti- gun. The man has sold more high end pieces than about anyone here. I’d encourage anyone participating in these threads to argue specific points not passion.

IMO they are exactly like the people they represent, look who put them in office in the first place.

I think we're all guilty of occasionally painting whatever group with a similar brush. Stereotypes do exist for a reason, but that doesn't mean those who typify a stereotype represent the majority of that group, nor do we have to be beholden to them. Evaluating people individually is the right thing to do, but it takes more time than most people are willing to invest.

Folks... " Red Flag " laws have been ruled unconstitutional by various federal courts... That said; I would watch the situation; but not be too concerned about this " windbaggery "... Things are hot everywhere and people are watching for any move that smacks of abridging the Fourth Amendment. " Red Flag " laws do that on their face if there is no " due process "... "... The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things ... ..." leroy..

Good condition but not so great that you won't want to shoot it. All original as best I can tell. Shoots 45acp in hand eject mode and half or full moon clips. I only put about 60 rounds down range. Shot well.

Now that the brace is off my broken wrist I can get back to leather work and gun work. The grip that came on my 629 did not fit my hand at all, and I HATE finger grooves. I’ve always wanted to try my hand at pistol grips, so today I jumped in. First set of grips I’ve ever tried. Shortened it by about 1/8” or so, removed the cursed finger grooves, cut down the sharp ledges toward the top of the grip on the sides, and sanded off the slick urethane finish. Added two coats of linseed oil. Might add some dark stain later. Feels really good in the hand, and now the 629 feels secure in my hand as well. Still knocks the ever-lovin-piss out of ya though. Nothing like shooting the good ole BFR. I think I’ve built up the courage now to try making a set of grips for the BFR. Got some black walnut and some osage orange coming. Might do both.

Folks... Don't worry about the " reinstatement"... The House makeup is 75 R .... 24D. The " reinstated ones " have been stripped of committee assignments. All they can do is debate n vote... The " R" s have already won. These people can do virtually nothing in the state house. Ya don't need a consultant ta see that... Folks are tending to make them greater than they really are. leroy...

I'm too old and wore out to be fighting with knives and sticks and rocks and fists, but I get where you were going with that. Everyone else will never be disarmed. Criminals cheat.

If ya like Bologna and not tried Tex's on Foster Av. Nashville you missed the boat. BBQ Bologna served in big chunks,big selection of sides.

I've been watching the state house fiasco from the start and don't know what should have been done. Like most here I leaned toward they shouldn't have expelled them (some of this is just my opinions and some is public knowledge) but these two clowns don't deserve to hold office. I can't really keep them separate since they both have the same name but it doesn't look like either one learned anything from this. They have not changed their actions, no apologies for breaking the rules and trying to cause a riot in the chamber. I hope I'm wrong about this but I doubt it. Many arrests for one of them and rioting. What kind of people send people like these to elected office? These two are not about the people they represent. I feel like they are all about their selves and it looks like it's working out well for them. We will be seeing their faces for a long time and I'm tired of seeing them.

I won't.

Set consists of Model 94 Winchester rifle 44/40 and Colt Single action Army revolver 44/40. Purchased in 1984 never fired and has not been handled. No scratches or blemishes as close to 100% as possible. $3995.00

I commend your efforts but you have Lee confused with someone who gives a sheet.

Some of my fondest memories were with my dad hunting, but I'm in the same boat as @Defender. I grew up hunting, but haven't been since I was a kid. I dropped the ball when I grew up and didn't make it a priority like I should have. We didn't own land, but my dad seemed to know everybody in Rutherford County that had a spot to hunt on. We'd go install a CB antenna, help turn ground for a garden, fix a car, shoot a bunch of coyotes, etc. and make friends who'd let us hunt. I failed to maintain those relationships and now I have nowhere I'd call safe to hunt at. I truly hope you can fulfill that tradition in your family. It'll make memories for a lifetime.

Go ahead and enlighten us with your "equitable solutions". You keep eluding to the problem being the fault of us pro-2A old farts who won't compromise. Compromise on what? What greater good is served by decent law-abiding people giving up their guns? So please forgive us idiots for seeing confiscation behind every bush. We've learned that we clearly can't trust people who think like you to preserve our rights.

Let me ask a question: Why does anyone believe that so-called Red Flag laws will work when you consider the other past cases of mass killings where law enforcement agencies had advance notice of threats or intent to do harm and yet still failed to stop the event? Think about that long and hard. The statement "The FBI/police were aware of [the individual]" has occurred so frequently in the aftermath of mass killings that it has become the butt of countless dark jokes. And yet... none of those agencies preemptively did anything to stop the killers. And in cases where a friend or family member knew the killer was making threatening statements ahead of the actual event, those friends or family members could have EASILY reported them to the authorities and potentially averted disaster. Threatening a person or group of people is already "assault". It is already illegal. A person guilty of making threats or threatening remarks can today be arrested and investigated for that! Further, arresting a person for making threatening remarks does not require that you adjudicate that person in advance, unlike filing for an emergency protective order under "Red Flag" provisions. It's actually a faster process. Conversely, if no one knows of the killer's intent ahead of time, no number of red flag laws would help. A killer that flies under the radar will never be stopped by these proposed laws. The only real difference between what we have now and what we will have if Red Flag laws are enacted is that gun owners will be subject to legalized and expensive harassment without the protection of due process. It's all bull#### meant to grab guns and preserve jobs for politicians.

I’m still watching on a couple Marlins in 44mag and 444 Marlin. I was out bid on a 336A-DL. I should have bid more except it had a right handed Monte Carlo stock and I am a lefty. I did pick another 336RC from 67 for a pretty good price (I thought I would be out bid). Photos to come when it gets to me.

If you were closer I’d set you up with some .44 special to let that wrist settle. Another option is giving me that ugly gun. BS aside, I have the 4” version and love it.

Poor decision

Sounds like someone sold your info to one of their "trusted 3rd parties". It happened to me so much that I started tracking who was selling my email address. Google offers a feature that lets me change my email address that I give the NRA from myemail@gmail.com to myemail+NRA@gmail.com. That way when some 3rd party emails me and it comes to the +NRA version, I at least know who's selling my info to others.

Now, take those slices, put them in the slow cooker with smoke, add a dry rub or wet sauce and BAM BBQ bologna.

I like fried bologna and have since I was a kid. Never tried it with garlic. I need to add that to my shopping list. I don't know if anyone has ever grilled bologna but it is really good. Thing is you need to get at least 1/2 a stick or more of butchers bologna and slice it into slices about as thick as a hamburger so you can put it on a burger bun and build it like you would a hamburger. Mustard, ketchup, tomato, lettuce or what ever. I like to put a slice of cheese on mine and build from there. You grill the bologna till it's brown on both sides. I made it for my kids when they were growing up and they liked it better the burgers.

Steiner DBAL-A3 with railscale leaf front sight and Modbutton. Works as it should. Asking $1250 shipped and insured or $1200 picked up. Located in Memphis.

I keep a couple of medicine bottles filled with cotton balls rolled in petroleum jelly. They make great fire starters and burn much longer than cotton or dryer lint alone.

Same. No kids and not married (yet). It's really more of an issue that I have more guns than I could ever train on effectively. I love my collection but I'm sitting on resources when I need a certain amount of cash flow to dig myself out of a hole (last year was expensive: dog got sick, I got sick, we needed a new A/C unit...just "life"). I don't like the idea of liquidating my assets because I'll probably miss them in a few years but at my current rate of pay, I'd have to dip pretty deep into my emergency fund to get air at the surface. Trust me, I like the idea of having two FALs, two OA-93s, two sequential serial number Beretta TX4 Storms, and two SPAS-12s, but what good are they doing just sitting in darkness? Accruing value? Yeah sure, but once you factor in the rate of inflation, it's not as dramatic as the raw numbers make it seem. Think about what $3K could've bought you a few years ago vs. what $3K could buy you NOW. Crank it up to $6K and think about what that could buy you now vs. what $3K could buy you a few years ago. I wish I could say that guns were a solid investment but they're not the end-all-be-all of interest-gathering resources. But they are cool, they are meaningful, they are useful, and they lend some serious street cred and bragging rights. I don't know anyone who has two SPAS-12s. And that's cool. But at what cost? Life is a game of breaths and inches.

Devils advocate......you don't need one. Unless you're going through pat down or metal detectors.......concealed is concealed. Now, pending the size of your edc and whether or not your holster needs stored as well, anything that will be out of your way and not visible and accessible will be impossible to find for your vehicle......I've tried and spent $ trying. Trunk style small safes appear to be the best because of the ability to really secure or bolt them down but some gun owners get nervous when getting stuff in and out of them. No matter what I tried, a trunk style safe bolted down was what I was most comfortable with. The brand doesn't matter as they all can be broken into with the right tools.....just do as much research as you can. There are thousands of gun sites just like TGO where this question has been asked. Read thousands of opinions and get as much information before you commit....

Somehow I missed how to put sarcasm into my posts. I As well as everyone else know that we will never get rid of all the firearms in the world.

I think it was Lucas from T-Rex arms that said there really is no justification for people to use an Olight as long as Streamlight exists. I have a few of their rifle lights and a couple handheld lights (HL, HL-X) and they have all been great, not the same durability/output as my CD stuff but I trust them more than Olight.

Me neither.

I think you nailed how liberals think. They judge all cops by the actions of a few or all conservatives by the ideals they disagree with then demand everyone else be evaluated as individuals. It's intellectual laziness on their part is what it is.

This is an opportune time to remind your representative that Governor Lee may not be facing another election, but odds are pretty good they are.

Red flag laws are gun control. Period. They don't do anything to stop a person from obtaining a firearm through means other than retail sales. They don't do anything to stop a person from committing assault with an improvised weapon of another sort. The just control gun sales and give the false impression that a politician has "done something". If we really cared about stopping mentally and emotionally broken people from harming other people, we'd do something about the screwed-up person. I mean, if only we had some clue that the Covenant shooter was in need of geniune psychotherapy.

Sold

Nearly new but has some fitting marks from installing the FCU. Shot about 100 rounds. Grips included with the frame.

I get it, but no dude. Just no.

Right, but the way it's going I fear we will see more of the trials you would enjoy vs the ones I would. Like I would love to see Hillary go on trial for her illegal activities, the ones they didn't pursue even though they said she broke the law, and maybe Hunter and co as well. But heck, who am I kidding, that will never happen.

He, he, you can change your vote! It is currently most definitely now, in case anyone was wondering. I trust them, but not in the sense that they are always right, but in that they report more of what isn't being reported elsewhere. I do know the difference between their news and commentary segments though, so there is that. That's ok, they have the best lawyers I hear, they must know what they are doing. I too would like to see everything come out at trial and would like to have many more of these trials as well.

NAGR is legit, but can't say about the email as some use legit companies to scam people. Home - National Association for Gun Rights (nationalgunrights.org)

On another note, generally gun shops who have one on display usually have a "mount" rifle they use for optics to allow you to really check it out. If the shop doesn't, tell em they should....it's super helpful when optic shopping.

I think the OP is pretty hypocritical considering what HIS side of the aisle lies about.

No, but implying that lives can be saved by agreeing to the compromises grayfox opposes is.

I wonder why they haven't asked to have an independent audit of the machines? Get answers to questions like why do they connect to the internet.

Temper? Where have I displayed a temper in this thread? Maybe you don’t like the way that I express myself, but that’s your issue brother. I’m an older forum member. When I speak of old men, I include myself in that demographic. I’m optimistic about the future, and I believe that future depends upon young people not old men.

Latest find... Bullet 10 year old. It ain't a Pappy, but it'll do

In my current IT project I'm the guy on the back left, the other developer is on the back right, the left front is our business analyst, and the front right is my boss.

Liberals never let a tragedy go to waste. To. Push an agenda

I went ahead and asked for a refund from Olight on my Warrior. They sent me a return label. Their instructions state to ship it back without the battery which I found amusing. Even they don't want their ####ty battery back.

I remember when TGO was super pissed at Lee for his COVID protocols in 2020 and swore to not vote for him again. Of course no one was going to vote for his democratic challenger either. Here we are. This is why I will continue to advocate for more than two crappy choices. I'm so extremely sick of our broken two party system. If you all can't see that both parties are doing damage, I'm not sure what it would take to convince you. Sorry for the rant.
