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.

Cleaning out some stuff and I no longer need this. Free but must be picked up in Cool Springs Mall area / Brentwood.

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. Sold - Thanks TGO

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.

The bad guy will pick the time and place and sometimes avoidance just doesn't work. The state ECP course is a good start. It is not a 'graduate' course. Pistol craft is a continuing process.....you don't know what you don't know. Will your 5 rounds be sufficient against 3 BGs? Start with your state permit and continue your education and skill building

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.

It sucks man, but sometimes men have to hear hard things. This means someone has to tell them. Maybe that's you or maybe that isn't. Could ruin your friendship or it may be the grease he needs to shape up. Tough choice man. You obviously care about your boy, or you wouldn't help him or be asking some online folks their thoughts. That tells me you're doing from a good place. I had a friend get lost in his bottle for awhile. One night I had it and I threatened to beat him senseless till he stopped. Surprisingly, my rage at him left its mark. Think I scared him real good. (I'm pretty easy going. Also, I didn't lay a hand on him). He straightened himself out. Pray on it man. Sure can't hurt, right?

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

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

I like the setup!

If you just want 1k rounds of 9mm can add 20 boxes of .22 to get free shipping. https://skogensgunsupply.com/product/aguila-1b222328-standard-high-velocity-22-lr-40-gr-copper-plated-solid-point-50-bx-100-cs Should be tax free unless it changed recently and they hit their sales threshold.

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.

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.

That looks freaking disgusting! I want one.

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.

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

Dropped Hulu live few months ago, they like raising prices $10 bucks a year. on Youtube tv, so far so good....

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

Thank you! I’ll look them up.

**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.

United for internet but we pay extra for increased bandwidth speed since the wife works from home pulling large amounts of code and data from off site locations or cloud storage. Company pays a stipend that covers part of that bill. We dropped Hulu Live when they jacked up their live rates a few months back. We run Netflix, the cheap Hulu, Amazon Prime, Max, and Disney+ for the paid stuff. We use Freevee, Peacock, Vudu, and occasionally Tubi on the free side. We are about to drop Disney+ since we only got it as a trial and to see a few things on it. Once we did that we seldom use it. Even with all the paid channels we have our bill is significantly cheaper than the old Internet and traditional cable plans we had. We are currently getting most of our live TV, on the rare occasion we watch it, via Peacock. I do not watch sports on TV so I have little to no use for live TV. Most of the movie watching is either Netflix or Max.

I have Dish service and Spectrum/charter for internet, the total for both is under $225/mo and no real complaints about either. (No movie channels or sport package extras). Dish signal does go out during heavy rains (not loss of power), internet seldom goes out but does get wonky at times for various reasons but is functioning 99%+ of the time. I've considered going with a streaming service but with Dish, (had Directv before), everything for TV is all in one place, channel selection suits my needs/wants. Press the guide button on the remote and scroll to my hearts content (which frustrates the wife), and I channel hop quite a bit as well. I hate commercials and try like hell to avoid them. I assume you have to close out one app (appletv for example) and open up whatever app you want to want, true or not??? If I'm correct in this assumption, I think it would be a PITA as much as I channel hop. LOL

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.

We have about 6-7 inches now and still falling. I went out o back deck and swept away enough to feed the birds and they were sure hungry. They were on the deck with me and eating about as fast as I was putting the food down. I will feed them once more about 4 pm and then again tomorrow. Glad I got 50 lbs of food for them.

Very nice
