Here's my daughter, Maggie, with our purebred yellow labs Daisy and Shelby, and our pitbull / cattle dog mix, Barrett. We have always had a dog since we first got our own house. The kids grew up with a big 90lbs pitbull / black lab mix, Sebastian, who was so gentle that he'd let them bounce on his head, and so intimidating that the Jehova's Witnesses stopped knocking. Sebastian was a rescue, just like every dog we've had since. He was a 7 month old that was too much puppy for his original family to handle. Being black and a pit mix, he was not likely to be adopted. We found him at the pound on his last chance month, and he was the best-behaved dog anyone could ask for. When we moved to a house with property, Sebastian gained a little brother, Scout. He was a cattle dog / shepherd mix that looked just like a half-sized German shepherd. A lifelong puppy-sized short-haired shepherd that leapt up cliff faces like a mountain goat. He was a street rescue from Calexico. Injured in his first weeks of life, a dog charity imported him to the US. Whatever happened to him down there left a permanent impression on him, because he was extremely, inconsolably aggressive to only one kind of person: Hispanic males. He was a mixed mutt from the streets of Mexico; he was our Racist Street Taco. Barrett was a rescue from the pound; friends picked him up in Texas as he was about to be put down. He'd had a hard first year; he grew up in the shelter and overcame Parvo. My friends tried keeping him but he had a submissive peeing habit that they couldn't beat. They drove him 1000 miles to us in Chattanooga just to give him another shot. It's been six months and there's no more peeing. I like dog training. His purebred sisters are rescues, too. They were $1000 AKC puppies who were adopted by a single lady who works 10+ hours in an ER and lives in a condo. Apparently, she decided that might not be the best recipe for success with two 60lbs dogs after the puppies destroyed the condo a few times over and earned her some HOA violations. We agreed to take them in, and now they're right at home on acres upon acres of private ranch. We never go out to buy a dog. There are so many in need already, and somehow they seem to find us at just the right time. We love our dogs, and we're glad to have a place for them.

More culling. Duplicate for me. Nice condition old Model 41 with cocking indicator. Comes with a box, but not the original to it, but is from 5.5" Model 41. Has a couple of the tools as well. 2 Magazines. Pictures make it look like it has some wear on muzzle but it is just from reflection of light on the RIG I keep on it. The other is just some lint. I can take different pictures if someone want them. $sold firm. Meet within a reasonable distance of Chapel Hill.8 points

Here are a few pictures I didn't know I had on this computer. The one is of Kasey in the Jeep and ready to go for a ride. The other one is of Buttons. He was my wife's dog and I adopted him when my wife passed away. He was a Chinese Cryst and the only hair on him was on his head and I had him for about 10 years after Margie passed away and he passed away from heart failure at age 15. I had him cremated and buried his ashes with Margie.

Dodger and Stryker. Dodger was supposed to be a corgi mix, but it turns out he's almost German Shepard sized. Stryker is pure Corgi. He also sheds a lot, so we made him Trump3 points

I looked and there are a few threads about a member's dog(s) here and there, but I was surprised that we don't have ONE big thread of all the doggos on TGO. So, let's fix that. ^^^ This is Tiberias, or Tigh for short. Yeah Tigh is spelled weird but I'm also a Battlestar Galactica nerd and fans of the show will recall that the XO of the Galactica was named Tigh. Anyway, he's a pure bred German Shepherd Dog and currently 4-months old. He was a rescue and we were fortunate to be called this past Monday and asked if we wanted to come get him. And yes, we most certainly did. Tigh is proving himself to be the goodest boy possible. Super loving, super loyal, and also already very protective of his new house and his new pack. We're thrilled to have him. So, so me your dogs!1 point

Why does 80/90% of the people, of the world, just think they will never be in harm's way. I watched the T V news last week and saw the Muslims/Palestinian's pull up and jump out of a car, at a bus stop with many people waiting, and open fire with pistols killing and injuring, and no one had any way of defense. I mean just about everyone in their area are out to kill them. We don't face the problems the Jews do, but we still have a slight/mediocre. chance here in the U S/TN. How does people not see the risk and prepare themselves as best as they can. It just blows my mind! Like sheep being led to slaughter, so-to-speak. Last week I was drafted to be one of the security guys, at my present church where I attend. I am going to be in the regular rotation now. About 14 years ago, I started a "Safety Team," consisting of 17 volunteers, at the previous church I/we attended. I have become a little more mature, and driving at night is harder so we changed to a church much closer to where I live. Instead of driving 45 minutes we drive 8 minutes now. Big help for me with night driving. I call it my church, but in fact it is one body of the Lord's church here on earth. The team I started had to deal with several serious disturbances over the 14 years I was there. The church I am attending now already had a team, so they learned my history, and I got drafted. As I sit there in the entrance, behind locked doors, I pondered what I had seen earlier on the TV News how those Jews were just sitting ducks and wondered why they have not prepared, if they could. I prayed to God to keep us safe, and prayed I would never need to use my tools in any situation, however if I needed too, I would have the ability. I just amazes me!!!! I guess warriors are in short supply now.1 point

Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO. Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with. Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete. Your experience will help others. Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun! None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction. They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns. DON'T DO IT. Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO. Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye. The complete Trading Post Rules and also some more helpful suggestions can be found by clicking this link. Everyone should read them at least once! ~~~ This was an automatic reply ~~~1 point

Mista Rick just excellently articulated the reason for reloading in today's environment... Simply said; it's excellently performing ammo tailored to your specific rifle... You simply cannot buy custom tailored ammo optimized for your specific rifle... Thank you, Brother, for explaining this clearly n completely. leroy...1 point

My brother taught me the basics of reloading somewhere around 20 years ago. Since then, my shooting partner and I have tweaked our load development process for our PRS type rifles quite a bit. We can develop a load for those rifles very quickly and get great results (6.5cm & 6cm) and do it "cheaper" than match ammo with better results. I quoted "cheaper" due to components cost being cheaper but the equipment not factored in (presses, dies, annealer, trimmer, chrono, and more). We are currently setting up a dillon SDB (that my brother gifted to me) for 9mm. An early estimate looks like the cost of components at current prices would be $215 for 1k rounds (no brass cost). We also just bought 1k of blazer brass and I think shipped it was right around $260. I am not sure what results we will see but the hope is lower pressure rounds to have fun with at minimum recoil. The cost of reloading is high when you factor tooling and time especially but the reward (as previously mentioned by others) is a customized round to meet a performance level that may not be as easily found with factory rounds. As a side note, we have done some 223 for the AR's but we get results we accept with a couple of different bulk factory varieties but keep our expectations reasonable (500 yards and in with 12" target).1 point

A Jewish Sinagua had a visitor who fired off some rounds outside today. I don't think he made it in the building but was stopped outside. I didn't catch where it was. We have been a little more cautious at our church as of late, however we are not being paranoid about it. Neither do I conceal carry because I am paranoid like some seem to think. I overcame paranoia while in Vietnam in a foxhole during "The Tet Offensive" of 1968. Nothing much unnerves me ever since, thank God. Edited to add; bersaguy google, "utube video west freeway church of Christ shooting" for more very recent info on another church shooting. Should touch all of us who carry. Stay Safe guys.1 point

Re-read Nehemiah. Paraphrased: And so we prayed for protection (first), and posted a watch day and night (second) against this threat. Yes, trust in God. And provide for your own welfare and the welfare of those entrusted to you. The two actions are not mutually exclusive.1 point

I don't think it's just about a church shooting though. I'm on our church's safety team and recently a handgun was discovered in a diaper bag. My experience with firearms let me handle it carefully and make it safe until the parent could get a talking to. I get your feelings about carrying at church though 100%. I struggled with it. This is the house of the Lord right? The decision was made pretty easy for me though. I'm a wall flower and after about 7 years of attending my church, i knew about 3-4 people. One day i got introduced to one of the safety team folks. After talking for a few minutes, he asked if I would be interested in serving. After saying yes, suddenly i started being drawn into being a recognized face. I talk to more people, they talk to me. I've started attending mens groups, bible studies and i'm even an usher now. The handgun is just there. Lord willing, i'll never need it.1 point

Church is the last place id be unarmed! I dont like crowds for many reasons, but one of the reasons is lack of security. Seems to me that large venues and especially churches are/will be targeted. We just started going to a local church this past Sunday. I don't know yet if they have a security team, but I did see some guys around that COULD have filled that role. If we decide to make this our new church home, I'll learn more, and if i see a need, offer my assistance. If not, I'll still be armed.1 point

I messaged him - thank you so much for looking out! I am certainly willing to help.

Thank you all for sharing the pics of your pups! Just a quick post before I head in to work a bit. Good on you @A.J. Holst ! Awesome helper you’ve got. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Boo before and can confidently say she is a “Good Girl”, but I would not want to get on her bad-side. My pups, 2 sets of Pekingese (Bastian & Lil then Buckley & Grace) over a 25 year period are in Heaven guarding my Bride. But I know Rhonda has her hands full with them! Entitled little devils but they gave us a lot of love in their time. (My son just sent this pic to me after I told him about my vicarious living through it). Thanks again to all! The little guy is Poe. He’s resting on his sister Nala. Nala is a squirrel killer. Poe couldn’t be bothered with such.1 point

This is Koira. We kinda inherited her from my youngest daughter who, during a rough spot, was unable to care for her. Now she's a part of the family for sure and thinks she's Queen. VERY loyal and loving dog, probably the most so I've ever seen. She's very attached (almost neurotically) to my wife, but likes me ok too. I think she's around 5 years old.

Here's my lot... Duchess and Winchester. We lost Ruger ,our Black male, in October and are still dealing with it. He was with us for 12 years and our pack is not the same. UPDATE Duchess went to join Ruger last Monday night. She lost her battle with bone cancer. Pain and sorrow are not what I wanted this year. She is at rest now....... I look forward to being with them when I get home to the Lord.

This was our 120 pound lab. The wife said no dog in the house and absolutely not on the furniture, yet here he is. He passed at only 3 years old from cancer. It's been a a couple of years, but still not ready to replace him, he was a good one.

Tennessee Gun Owners Trading Post Updated August 14, 2023 Terms and Conditions By using the Trading Post, you agree and affirm that TNGunOwners.com (TGO) is an "Information Service Provider" as defined by Federal Law and that TGO is not the seller of ANY of the firearms or other items listed here. Listings are posted by third parties. TGO's role is similar to that of a newspaper which publishes classified ads. Our knowledge of a transaction is limited to the information contained in an item's listing and user registration databases. Rules for Using the Trading Post Observe all Federal, State and Local laws at all times. Clearly and accurately describe the item that you are offering. Disclose any flaws, any blemishes, any problems. Provide clear photos when possible. Do not offer items on behalf of a friend or other third-party. Only list items that you own and are in possession of. Do not make "testing the water" types of posts. Only post if you are ready to sell or trade. Do not agree to buy or take possession of an item unless you have all of the resources (money, items for trade, etc.) necessary to complete the deal. Complete any agreed-upon transactions within seven (7) business days unless both parties agree, in writing on TGO, that an extension of this deadline is acceptable. All transactions are final, and all items are provided as-is and without warranty unless the seller/trader says otherwise. Do not make any replies designed to interfere with the sale or trade of an item. If you wish to haggle, do it privately with the seller. No one cares what you think about the price or availability of an item. Don't be a dick. Access to the Trading Post may be revoked if you fail to follow the rules, fail to follow the law, or fail to be honest and ethical in your dealings Haggle privately. If you are a new member and can't send a private message, just post a public reply and ask the author of the ad to contact you. Haggling does not belong in public. It is no one's business what you think an item is worth. That is between you and the seller. Suggestions for Buyers and Sellers When agreeing to meet in person, put safety first. Trust your instincts! Consider only meeting at a public place with surveillance video (police stations are great for this!) and only meeting during daylight hours. Try not to meet alone, but also be clear in advance if you will be bringing a friend as backup. No one likes to be surprised by the presence of other people if it wasn't expected. Check the TGO Trader Feedback of the buyer / seller before you commit to a transaction with them. A person having "No Feedback" is not necessarily a bad thing but watch out for people with negative ratings for past deals. Scammers love to operate in private. Be extra careful if someone with little or no public content approaches you privately regarding an ad that you posted. Consider telling them to post their reply publicly where the moderators can help keep an eye on things. Every online payment service has their own list of things you may not use their service to pay for. Failing to follow their policies could result in your account with them being terminated, funds frozen or loss of buyer/seller protection. Be sure you know what they allow. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal Friends & Family and other services may not offer much (or any) payment protection. We recommend cash for in person transactions and PayPal Goods & Services for any non-restricted sales of things that are being shipped. Again, be sure that you know what the payment service provides and allows and be sure to check buyer/seller feedback here on TGO. Be willing to pay a little more for insurance from the payment service or shipper. Why Can't I Post New Threads? Are you a Benefactor member? As a thank you for supporting TGO, we typically give our Benefactors elevated permissions in some of our forums.
