His 1# issue is his kids. Everything else is secondary. I respect that. I would rather my kids hate me at Harvard rather than love me from the trailer park.

Muck Boots. No special socks needed. Ever. Fold the uppers down for easy on/off. Pull them up if the snow or mud looks deep. If you wear a 10, buy a 10.

Either or but not together!

With the state of the federal government right now, is anyone planning for civil unrest after the elections. It seems like if Biden doesn't win, his followers will make the summer of "love" look like a cake walk. And if Trump doesn't win, and there is any evidence of cheating, there may be violence that way. Just wondering if trouble does start, what we should be prepared for to wait out and see what happens and protect ourselves. Maybe I'm just paranoid (well, less so where we are), but I'm afraid for the country. NOTE: Not advocating starting anything, just if people are planning on protecting themselves, their families and maybe even the community of it is brought to us.

I have a Springfield 1911 with a 5 inch barrel. 45 acp. It is a lightweight aluminum railed operator. I’ve put about 100 or so rounds through it and it ran great. Wilson adjustable rear sight. $800** Reduced Located in Chattanooga

Switched to Mossberg exclusively and this is the only 870 I have so I figured I would get rid of it. I've had it for several years and shot it very little. Runs great and has a smooth action. Added sidesaddle and light. It has an 18" barrel. **Reduced** $450 Located in Chattanooga

I have a Wilson SFX9 with a 5" barrel for sale. It's a great shooter, I'm just a single stack guy I guess. I've put about 200 rounds through it and it runs great as in buttery smooth. Includes 3 - 15 round mags. $2,400 Located in Chattanooga

This was my mother’s carry and passed onto me. Model 60, “no dash” S&W .38 revolver. Not sure of the date as she purchased it second-hand, but the serial begins with R73xx. She did have the trigger pull lightened as she purchased in MA and the original weight was too much for her arthritic hands. $650 OBO Located in Nashville.

Fair Point! Hiking the Appalachian Trail requires a different answer than going to Hardee’s for a cup of coffee and biscuit.

My Dad used to say the 3 SSS- Shoot-Shovel-Shutup-

One more thing to consider would be liability insurance.

Yeah at this price you'd have to come here delivery would be quite a bit extra

Bump for a great dude. If it were a 26, I would have snapped it up already . GLWS!

We got a layer of ice over the snow pack. My drive in 1/4 mile down hill, sledding anyone? Yes I am staying home today.

I made my position clear on Red Flag Laws. While I believe that gun owners should seek out training, I do not think the government should be involved. Ad soon as they are, they will mandate training, before being able to have a weapon. Once they get that passed, they will make training so difficult and/or expensive that very few will be able accomplish it. As to the additional duties for a school resource officer, I think all that head-shrink stuff needs to be handled by a separate individual. A school resource officer should be trained on his LEO duties, not counseling duties. Background checks, while allowing more access to private citizens to use it sounds good, the ATF is already proposing no private sales without one, coincidence? I think not. They'd love nothing more than our willingness to use the tools they provide to send them to your door for being a dealer without an FFL because you accessed the system more than whatever arbitrary number they want to use to consider you a dealer. No, that is enough giving away our rights. There is no negotiating with the left, everything we give in to, they want more and more, enough is enough. If you do not feel safe with your neighbor having a gun, get yourself one too!

So here is this rifle now. I did cold blue the steel, refinished the stock, found a forend to refinish, cut the barrel down to 16.5”, hand cut the dovetail for the mag tube pin. The stripped receiver and barrel went to Class3Machining in Texas for threading. Only took 2weeks. (The can is still in jail)

What report would that be? Makes no difference really, let me guess what it says… LE response was unacceptable which everyone in the world knew within days, and guns bad.

Please forgive my ignorance on this, but besides educational purposes how would I benefit from a hand gun carry permit if it's legal to carry without one?

Brand New Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9X40 Rifle Scope. I am asking $280.00 for the scope. The scope has never been out of the box. Thanks for looking.

CZ-75D PCR w/ Vedder OWB holster and magazines. Handgun has no modifications aside from wood grips. Magazines include the factory 10rd, one Mec-Gar 15rd, and the rest are Mec-Gar 10rd. Located in Dayton, TN. Would prefer to meet in this area. Asking $600 OBO.

Yeah, it's very dangerous. But the good news is, there's no such thing as an AR thumb.

Sometimes we need to be called out. If you think of this person as a friend, you want the best for them. Tell him, might be some stuff going on in his life and he needs to address it. Maybe the job isn't a fit for him, and he knows it but needs something to kickstart him to something different.

One of many reasons why I never recommend someone for a job. Were they worth a damn, they’d need no recommendation.

If he really is a friend, don't hold back. He expects the truth from you. A smack up side the head probably wouldn't hurt either.

Were I your friend and you confronted me in such a manner, I would be royally pizzed off at you. Later, I would likely really appreciate the fact you cared enough to say something. Is the long term gain worth the short term pain? You can answer that better than we can.

I bought some DryShod boots, supposedly made by the former owner of Muck boots. These are rated to 50 below......and that is a bald faced lie. They're ok down around 30 degrees but in this weather lately you'd better keep wiggling them toes to keep your feet warm. These things are a horrible waste of money. So I'm really no help at all here except to recommend what NOT to buy.

Nice was some guy on my tac 14 sale talking about being in Chattanooga maybe there's a sale for you there

So I've got my A7 S in 243 now Looking forward to taking it to the range soon to see where it's at supposed to be zeroed at 100 yd so hopefully it is or at least it's close

I like the setup!

Thank you. I do handload and that's a pretty decent price considering today's situation. If folks sign up for notifications at Norma Shooting there's the occasional deal on primers. Currently the SA (Servicios y Aventuras) small pistol primers are $49.99/1000 no HazMat nor shipping but they do charge state tax. I've used around 3 k of them over the past 6 months in 9mm, .38, .357, and .32 S&W long/ H&R Mag and they work great. Have more on the way but the weather is holding up FedEx delivery. Thanks again for for the listings.

Bass pro primers sale. I don’t reload but maybe this will help someone. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/winchester-41-small-rifle-primers-for-556mm

Exactly! It has been so long ago that I took it that I cannot remember the exact example they used, but the summary was there are some situations where you may even find yourself legally justified with the use of force. However in those same situations, although you may not spend any jail time you are going to be bankrupted in civil court once they are done with you.

That's some extremely important information that most people have no idea what constitutes legal use of deadly force My son's friend wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle about 10 years ago he comes to me because I ride motorcycles and I've known him forever would I help him find a motorcycle and show him how to ride told him I would show him how to find a good motorcycle and help him do it but only if he would take the motorcycle safety course because I knew they were things they were going to show him that I may have known but didn't think about telling him

Of course I need to post this one. 1972 Marlin 1895, B0-00003XX serial number. 45-70 (of course)

You are breaking my heart. if only I had $$$. Complementary bump.

The real problem is that the temperature won't get above freezing. During the day this stuff thaws a little and traffic melts some of it. But then it re-freezes as a solid sheet of ice. Instead of getting better, the driving conditions get worse every day. Gotta another Arctic blast coming in. Right now its 26 degrees. and falling. That's gonna be our high for today.

Correct Garufa. "Media" reported that 5 Uvalde Officers were disciplined already. Feds Report stated the shooter fired 72 total rounds while on scene, and the officers heard many of the shots as the shooter fired at will, but Police didn't go in to confront the shooter. Report said while the Chief was on the scene no one stepped up and displayed any leadership in that situation. This report is from Federal DOJ, I believe, and the culmination of a year-long investigation done by Prs Biden's boys. Makes me wonder what will happen to that Police Department and City. My guess a lot of lawsuits from families of those involved. The residents are shouting loudly, on TV, and rightly so. Their Police Dept totally let them down. I know it would be hard to take if we had someone involved. Metro handled the Covenant School really well. Kudo's to those 4 Metro officers that went in at Covenant. Now they were "hero warriors", IMO guys. They never hesitated but took care of business. The shooter was firing at officers in the parking lot while the 4 officers hunted her down and neutralized the threat. That school acted/performed well also. Hope the next school or church is as prepared! Evil is out there, even in our own communities. Most stick their heads in the sand, so to speak, and simply will not, or can't accept that it can happen where they are. Boggles my mind. Constantly praying I don't run into evil, ever. Don't know about you guys, but if I ever am forced to, I pray God will help me to do the right thing and also my best to protect mine and me. If that chaps some people, I am sorry for that. May God help us all where evil is concerned.

I like it simply for the reciprocity provides in other states. I also found it helpful in the class where they basically went though what was a justified shooting and what was not.

We have YoutubeTV base plan it allows 3 devices to stream at once. Unlimited recording space, the 9 month deletion after you remove it from library seems crazy but I don't record much. Also I like the option to set the channel order up by most watched.

Very nice job.

This is an interesting one out of my collection. This rare jewel reads 68-1 on the yoke but I believe it to be a 681. I believe SMITH stamped it incorrectly because the model 68 was only made in .38. I love information and if I'm wrong please reach out and let me know

Good on you for doing that. I saw a couple out today that shouldnt be behind the wheel on a clear day

We cut Comcast TV a few years ago, but kept their Internet. I need fast internet for work, and they are really the only option where I live. We tried both Hulu with Live TV, and You Tube TV, and decided we liked YTTV better. I hated the Hulu interface, especially the guide which at the time could not be sorted. The DVR was not as good, and you couldn't fast forward thru commercials. Hulu had better content than YTTV, but we never really watched any of that. We mostly used it for recording stuff on ABC/NBC/CBS/Fox, and for watching news. We mostly kept it around to watch Fox news <ugh>. We have since detached ourselves from watching cable news and are way more happier for it. We have since cut out YTTV. I like Tech stuff and roll my own now. This might be a little too nerdy for some, but I use Plex. You can sign up for free and load the Plex app on your streaming device and get 100's of free live channels, just like Comcast gives. Granted, it's 90% crap you probably don't want to watch, but for totally free you can find something. There is also a large library of movies you can stream for free, but there are a lot of commercials. Here's the nerdy part... I built a Plex server. Cost like $150 for a small desktop on EBay, plus another $100 for a big hard drive. Then I got an antenna for $50, and a device called an HDHomerun tuner. I got the better one, but the cheapest one would have done fine for what I use it for. I think it was like $150 for what I got, adn the cheaper one is maybe $80-ish. I also have a Plex Pass I paid for. It's like $30 annually, or you buy a lifetime for $100 on sale. I bought mine several years ago, so that didn't count toward my recent cost. So, for about $450, I was able to put all this together. The HDHomerun is a tuner that you connect to the antenna, and then streams video out across your home network. The Plex server sees it, and can connect to it. There is a lot Plex can do for free without the paid for pass, but connecting to this, the pass is required. Once it sees the HDHomerun, you get this really cool TV guide of all your channels, and can schedule recordings. Works just like the Comcast Guide and DVR. You can watch live TV, pause rewind, all that. Plex even has a cool commercial skip button for any shows you record. Any streaming device in my house can watch the live TV or the recordings. I can even watch on my phone / laptop when I'm away. You can also make a library of your own movies or TV shows for any video file you can gather. If you have a collection of DVDs, you can easily rip them to a video file and watch them any time on Plex. And that library can be shared with friends and family. The TV recordings too. I would record UT games for my out of state son, where he may not have gotten the game in his area, but he could watch on my Plex server. One other feature I just started using, is Plex can also stream your music. I copied my MP3 Files over to the server, and installed the Plex Music app on my phone and computer, and now I can stream all my music commercial free. And its all songs I like. You don't get to sample new stuff tho, so that is one bummer. Truth be told, this thing has become sort of a hobby of its own.

**Disclaimer** I don't watch anything anymore, I'm over TV. The last two shows I watched were Alone and Forged in Fire. I'm pretty much over both, but we keep TV because the wife still has some shows she watches We were Comcast people forever, (Since '@home' was a thing). Namely, because it was THE option. They had a great TV experience with a lot of stuff available via OnDemand, but their internet speeds, data caps and moving target bill were awful. Plus any troubleshooting was maddening. As soon as we had the opportunity we ditched out fast. We went with TDS fiber and their TV service. The internet is great but TV is abysmal. We had their original box which was like a 1990s TV experience. Eventually we got the Tivo box and it still sucked. I ditched it and went internet only, which is great so far by the way. We got a lifetime 1gb up/down for a fixed fee. I think it's $70? I know people got cheaper in the past but that's still WAY cheaper than anything I've gotten from other providers. From there we bought into YouTube TV. The UI was very.... OK. It's feels like YouTube. I hated the DVR for it. If memory serves, you couldn't record only new stuff. You picked a show and it recorded every time it played. My kids recorded Impractical Jokers once.... came back to hundreds of episodes. No history channel either (at the time, which was a deal breaker for me). They have also hiked the price several times in the last year or two. We switched to Hulu which has been a better experience. I got history.. which I don't even watch anymore and she gets her stuff. Occasionally there's a decent movie. I do not pay for ad free because I can innately tune them out.

Currently Comcast (Xfinity) but am seriously considering going the route you took but not with AT&T. A couple of neighbors have them and they have issues several times a year. It seems like the trucks are in the neighborhood several days a month fixing problems for somebody. I'm probably going to get Verizon 5G for Internet and each of the TV providers for their free trial period (or pay a month if I have to) and see which I like best: Fubu, Hulu+, YouTubeTV, maybe Sling. Comcast as a company sucks, their customer service is the worst, their rates are too high, and they somehow always manage to mess up the billing if any change is made at all. But I can't fault their product. I almost never lose Internet or TV service and I don't have to switch between multiple services to get all my channels in one place.

Very nice

I'm 45 minutes from home for about 3 more hours. 4WD for the win.
