Any time a new court ruling seem like it may be a step in the right direction, be very careful. They'll use that step to stomp on your head.

Ok so first is a 1923 Winchester 94. The barrel is actually from an earlier 1894 and is octagonal. It has been cut down from 26” to 22”. This is a buddies but I did the cleanup on it. Full tear down and cleaning. Wood cleaned up and a new hand rubbed oil finish. The barrel blueing is great except for some spots near the muzzle where something got on the finish and caused rust. I cleaned it up the best I could w/o messing with the original finish. The receiver/parts, butt plate and forend cap got some cold blueing. turned out nice.

I agree parents should be more responsible, but this opens up parents to more liability than just gun related crime. Your son or daughter is doing drugs with someone that overdoses or drinks and drives and kills someone you could be charged with manslaughter

Unfortunately you have both lazy neighbors and lazy cops. Get video of all the interactions both people and dogs chasing you, cars, and/or bicycles. Get enough to show a pattern. If the cops won't do anything, go to the media. Aggressive dogs have become something of a hot button recently. I'd avoid the guy with the gun and his dog named Aryan. Too many red flags there. I'm guessing the cops may have been trying to do you a favor. I'll bet they know him.

I would tell him that you are still going to walk your dog but that you will wear a red/green light or something else that allows him to know its you so when his dogs bark he doesn't come out with his rifle. You have every right to walk down the street without fear of being attacked by either dogs or neighbors. Also look up the leash laws for your county, I think the Montgomery county leash law (where I live) state that a dog generally must be leashed when NOT on the owners property. Might be easier going the other direction and addressing the situation with the lady, but man do I hate people like your neighbors that don't take accountability for stuff like this. Good luck.

It seems that a fairly large percentage of neighborhood disputes involve dogs, and trying to discuss barking or aggressive dogs often results in hard feelings. We live in a time where people have trouble taking responsibility.

This is our yellow lab/german shepherd mix. We got him from a shelter at the beginning of Covid as a puppy. Met his breeders by chance a couple years later. His sister is a TSA dog. He’s been perfect for us, loyal and great with my daughter and fierce protector of the house.

Sounds like bull ####.

All I'm getting from news is how this is a unique case. Involuntary manslaughter. No real details on how parents assisted, knew etc. I'm guessing the parents were excessively negligent but this seems to open the doors for prosecuting every parent of every school shooter. Will it carry over to gang shooters parents too? Thoughts and details of this case appreciated.

Throw those barking dogs a raw hot dog. Soon they will be wagging their tails at you instead of barking. It worked for me. There was this German Shepard down the road I lived on and evey time I walked by he would bark furiously. I threw him a raw hotdog and he kept barking as I walked by. The next time I walked by at night, he came out wagging his tail and never bothered me again.

Would consider trades on wood stocked pump or semi auto shotguns, double barrels or rifles and carbines.

That’s because he is wearing sandals. If they were loafers, the socks would be white.

Boomer the duck dog. Lost him last year to cancer and still miss him. He was a great companion in and out of the duck blind.

UPDATE: I've had it back for a little over a week and have driven it quite a bit at various speeds and of course hitting plenty of the potholes on our roads now. No more shaking, so it seems like the diagnosis of the drag link was correct. Replacing the Aux battery was pretty easy. 4 bolts and some tugging on the passenger fender to remove it. I actually struggled getting the side marker light harness disconnected more than anything else . I did crack a few of the clips, but not so bad that they don't work, plus the 4 bolts are really doing the attaching. Next time I have an order for Quadratec I'll add in some of their $2 clips and replace them.

I'm all for personal responsibility, consequences, prosecuting negligence, and gun safety. The texts beforehand about the ammo and stuff sounds like the same eye-rolling comment I'd make about liberal teachers overreacting if I thought my son was a normal, well-adjusted kid. I'm not sure I understand the timeline, but it sounds like both the school and the parents found out the same day that the kid needed help and it wasn't until the parents got home that they discovered the gun was missing. I just can't believe the kid wasn't sent home and nobody checked the backpack.

The kid posted a vid with him playing alone with a loaded 22 handgun prior to killings. The dad claimed in trial the 9mm murder weapon was locked up but kid claimed it wasn't. Not getting any info yet kid was acting weird prior to the death drawing but I haven't watched alot of the testimony. Some families keep guns around unlocked as I have though not loaded. Sounds sexist but I had girls who had zero interest. If I had a teen boy perhaps I would take more precautions against unsupervised access. Even if he had no signs of instability. Boys get the itch to mess with guns and show them to friends etc. I have mixed feelings about the verdict but what I know is soon we will be hearing about a gun owner getting charged because his stolen gun was used in a murder. I'm not ok with that ever.

I love the thorough well written description.

Weekend bump, I will also consider trades

I've got an IWB and an OWB holster ordered from Vedder. I like my Comp-Tac if it wasn't for the squeaking.

Every dog in my neighborhood and back then there no leash laws, stopped barking at me, at night. I only did this one time and it worked for the rest of my stay there.

Got the timeline info I wanted from an old article.Here's the short of it. (sorry if posted in wrong section) No mention of Kid having previous mental or social issues but old article btw. (perhaps he did?) Parents buy kid handgun and Mom posts social media pics of kid with new gun. Teacher catches kid looking up ammo on his phone, was shocked and parents were notified. Mom texted son something to kid like, not mad just don't get caught next time. Day of shooting kid draws disturbing pic with disturbing perhaps suicidal words. Gun, blood, dead victim etc. Parents called to school about pic. Parents left kid in school and his backpack was never checked. Odd of parents and of School IMO as kid was known to be looking at ammo so they knew he used guns or was interested in them. (nothing weird there but the drawing was disturbing) Negligent for sure not checking backpack after weird pic by both parents and school but this verdict sets a pecident for any minor sloppy parenting skills or missed signals that your child could do this and you own a gun https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/03/us/michigan-school-shooting-parents-charged

If I were closer to you I would do it just for the. lumber Lumber is expensive these days someone will be glad to take it

I just picked up the X Macro Comp. Loving it so far, still waiting on a holster before I can carry it. $60 for a spare magazine is a bit steep but I'll get over it I guess. The Holosun 507k is a great addition, I ain't as young as I used to be. I could have stayed with the Glock 43x but I saw a shiny thing and had to have it.

Up for grabs is a Pelican 1750 rifle case in O.D. Green. Bought it to hog hunt with my brothers but it barely fits in my civic and that's with the seats down! Scuffs/scratches on the exteriors as expected from a few airplane rides. The original owner cut the foam to fit an AK-47, I further modified it to fit my AR-15. SOLD !! Located Fayetteville, TN

James Crumbley parent of School shooter in Michigan. Convicted yesterday I believe, his wife also. I've just heard about it myself but it seems to be a landmark case. Having trouble getting timeline facts unless I watch hours of trial. News is skimming over details of how parents were guilty.

If the dogs are fenced in and not on the roadway, he is within the law. If the dogs are out running loose he is wrong. If he was out at 11;00 PM he was probably thinking something was after his livestock, if he has any, most likely. You have a right to go down the roadway, then again you must live there. You must try to resolve this issue as best as you can. You and him need to have another face to face and try to resolve this issue. He has no right to restrict your movement up and down the roadway. He very well may be trying to intimidate you into doing what HE wants. You got a big problem K. Just may need to daytime run to solve this issue. When chest get pushed out between 2 people, it needs to be resolved. Pushing the issue "POSSIBLY" could lead to real trouble.

Very Nice!!!! If you were closer to the Chattanooge area....I might would prob snatcher up... GLWS

gregintenn...there are still some suprisingly open-to-rural areas withing the greater(LOL) Metro Davidson County/ Nashville landscape. Not many. And they are going fast! Not knowing where the op actually is...but some beautiful country outside the "Brentwood" landscape. I used to travel it to get to a few customers. Liked it. But hated the time it took to get there and back when I had an average of 40 stops a day.

@JeffsSig man, it’s been forever! Glad to see you back on here. We need to go shoot. Hope you and yours are doing well.

I’ve never had much luck dealing with police. I’ve had mixed results dealing with neighbors. Was the guy threatening you with the gun, or did he just have it along in case there was an animal harassing his livestock? You are certainly legal to walk your dog on a public road. Because you can doesn’t necessarily mean you should in the middle of the night, for several reasons. Pissing off your neighbors would be among these reasons. As to the other dogs running loose and getting after your dog, a call to animal control would be in order, as dogs aren’t supposed to run loose, at least where I live anyway. I am confused about this. You say you are in a very rural area, but your profile lists you living in Nashville. I guess both could be technically correct, but unlikely. Good luck with t. Neighbors can be a challenge sometimes.

+1 to what was said above. You're doing nothing illegal by walking your dog on a public street any time of day or night. Depending on what "armed visibly" means, what he did might be illegal. Simply open carrying a holstered firearm is not. If he's carrying his gun/rifle in his hands and actively threatening you with it, that's probably illegal like brandishing or maybe assault (I'm not a lawyer and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night). It's possible the whole thing could be resolved by simply sharing with him what you've told us about your work schedule and that if his dogs barking at night is a problem, maybe taking them inside at night could solve his issue. Or maybe he's just a hotheaded jack-wagon who wants to stand in his yard and shake his fist at the clouds.

Assuming that you're walking on a public road, you have every right to do so. YOU are not waking the man, his uncontrolled dogs are. I find it incredible that the police told you not to walk on the road. Whomever told you that just doesn't want to deal with the situation. You might consider wearing a body cam and getting the neighbor on video. You might also consider speaking with an attorney. What a rotten situation! Good luck. Added by edit: My initial assumption was that your neighbor was carrying a rifle as a way to intimidate you, which is illegal. But it's possible that he was carrying his rifle because he didn't know what was riling his dogs, not as a means to intimidate you. When I go outside to investigate a noise or something, I am always armed, though not always visibly.

Agreed. Also file a noise complaint about the dog barking.

Keep going higher up the food chain at the police. No way you can’t walk down a public road at any time of day walking your dog. Keep records of every time the confronts you. Don’t antagonize but be firm. Get a restraining order if necessary.

$700 P80 frame, Alpha Wolf stainless slide, Glock brand upper and lower parts kits. Slide is direct mill for a Vortex dot and has suppressor height tritium front sight. Gun will come with both threaded and standard barrels, both Alpha Wolf. Comes with factory weight (17 lb) captured recoil spring/guide rod and a 24 lb captured spring on a stainless steel heavy guide rod. With either barrel (full chamber support) and the 24 lb spring/stainless guide rod this gun can safely run full power .45 SUPER loads. Or it can run soft .45 ACP loads with the factory weight spring. I also find that it runs better suppressed with the 24 lb spring, but that may be dependent on your suppressor and load.

If I owe you money……..you don’t know me Just kidding, I’m fairly new around here, but have gained a ton of knowledge and met some great folks!

Whatever works for you is the best. I tell ya one thing , the Ruger LCP .380 makes it so easy to run to the parts store , grocery store , or dollar store. It fits right in the front pocket with a DeSantis pocket holster. I've been doing this for over 8 years. It's so much easier than belting-up an holstering-up a bigger gun. I will say that when we go to more populated places and pack the bigger tools.

My oldest daughter is the tracker in our family. She likes to know where everyone is - and people knowing where she is. I have a deal with my children that goes in the reverse as well. Any of them can text a single letter to me, and they’ll get a phone call a couple of minutes later stating that there is a family emergency at home and that I need to come get them from where they are right now. This gives them an immediate out that’s not on them if they ever find themselves in a situation where they’re uncomfortable - or see it going that way. There are some other adults in my kids lives - and some of other kids in mine who can do this and get a similar immediate response. I’m thankful for the community in my life.

Did you sell the Colt?

If ya’ll haven’t been to the recently opened Thompson Station Armory, do yourself a favor and go check it out! Jonathan has great taste in firearms, optics and accessories … could not be more hospitable especially for a gun store. His store has unity fast mounts in stock, Aimpoint, Eotech, holosuns, magnifiers, etc.. in stock. Got to hold a Q mini fix today chambered in .300BLK and was wowed with the execution. He even has the famed honey badger in stock and I’ve never been able to hold one and appreciate the innovation. He has several high end brands and models that you just don’t see every day: HK, B&T, Q, Christensen, Proof, etc.. The highlight was holding the insanely cool B&T folder that looks like a mini briefcase and folds out into a SBR. Why do I take the time to write this? Well if we don’t support local business then they fail. A dollar spent with a local business circulates 2-3x more than if we do business with a large retailer or out of state.
