Happy 4th everyone. Enjoy the freedom we have.

We have been involved in a suit with the state over TCA 39-17-1307 for two years now, it moves at an agonizing pace. Won the first round, lost the second so we are refiling, but not giving up. I have come to the conclusion that no matter who we elect, the Leadership and the 3 letter agencies (though Chevron Deference getting overturned may help with that, it will take suits to curb them though) are not about to give up their power to regulate arms in Tennessee without a fight. We passes the Constitutional Amendment to put the question on the ballot in 2026 in the Senate, then the House killed it. That falls directly at the feet of the Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton. I just passed the 70 year old mark last Saturday, but if God spares me long enough I am going to win the effort to take that power away from these grasping culls who usurped the unalienable right to arms from us in 1870. We all know it is not a power that was delegated to them, they know we know, but not enough people give a lusty crap to force the issue. Our Supreme Court in 1871 said it was unconstitutional, Heller resaid it in 2008: “In Andrews v. State, the Tennessee Supreme Court likewise held that a statute that forbade openly carrying a pistol “publicly or privately, without regard to time or place, or circumstances,” 50 Tenn., at 187 (1871), violated the state constitutional provision (which the court equated with the Second Amendment). That was so even though the statute did not restrict the carrying of long guns.” - District of Columbia et al. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 629 (2008) Even our new Attorney General Johnathan Skrmetti recognizes that fact, and proved my point by signing the agreed order int he Beeler case: "The Challenged Scheme regulating the possession and carrying of handguns that restricts individuals aged 18 years old to 20 years old from carrying handguns or obtaining permits to carry handguns on the basis of age alone violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution." (Emphasis mine) proves the contention I make. It also points to the correct interpretation of the recent Federal Supreme Court Bruen decision by that office. Yet our General Assembly has not codified that order by a Federal Court even though the DOS has posted it is the law. I for one refuse to sit on my hands and let the Establishment violate their oath and the law without at least calling them out, but one voice is not enough!

Happy 4th to all you guys.

Time for old fashioned style bbqq cooking. Burn barrel and pit with lots of oak wood slabs. I got a few pork shoulders and some thick cut pork belly. Going to keep it going for 12 hrs. It's hard on the back bending over and shoveling wood every hour but worth it. I'll try to post some pictures of it when it's done.

Happy 4th to all.

Happy indepedence day everyone! Glad to be in this wonderful state and country. May God bless America and may he bless each and every one of you.

I love my Cosaint! I can’t believe this hasn’t sold yet.

Happy 4 th to all

I've lived in west TN for the past 27years. Avid gun collector for the past 20 years. Joined this forum yesterday and looking to liquidate a substantial portion of my collection. Please look forward to my classified posting coming soon. I've gone through the new member FAQs, feel free to advise DOs and Don'ts on this forum.

It’s only treason if you lose.

I’m seriously thinking about selling a kidney.

Sold.

Did a pork butt for the in-laws a few days ago. Id love to try a pit like that sometime

It is a matter of "Standing". I don't make the rules, I just have to live and die by them. If you want the coverage, join the suit initially. We seek out plaintiffs for our suits, hard to come by. Nobody wants to stand out in a crowd and be noticed I guess. The Courts require that to show harm, there must be individual plaintiffs, it takes money and time to write the declarations and brief the courts on them. We chose to join Ken Paxton(State of Texas), GOA, GOA Foundation and other state AGs, (Our State AG declined to join us and went with a different group who were unsuccessful as they did not list individual plaintiffs). Anyone can play, you just have to be motivated and willing to put yourself on the line. Similar to testifying in a committee hearing, have to take off work, petition the committee chair, send in your testimony, show up, take the abuse in the hall from the Moms Demand Action hordes and TBI, Sheriff's Association and Department of Safety taxpayer paid lobbyist, Tennessee Holler, NPR etc. The way it works, if you win in the first stage you get the TRO for the named plaintiffs, as the case progresses it knocks it out for the general population, but nothing moves forward if one person does not take the first step. Look at Dick Heller, he sued, took him years to prevail, he got a TRO at a lower court, it was set aside by the Applegate Court but he persevered, eventually we all got the fruit of his work.

I can't get pictures of what I'm seeing now cause it's 1:12 am and dark but the smoke is rolling out of the cracks of the blocks and the wood top. Dang it's darn near sexy ! The smell is heavenly. I just turned the meat and took a taste. DAYUM !!!! I got some more hours to go.

Nothing wrong with a good old Marlin Model 60. Used ones aren't expensive and they're great shooters. Rossi makes a sweet little copy of the Winchester 62 pump gun. Mine and a set of spinners makes for a really fun day. Henry makes several lever guns in .22 and they aren't pricey. Any one of which would serve your needs well.

Since they are not very experienced, go with a lever gun in .22LR and/or Ruger 10/22. Fun and reliable and, if you don't want to keep them, you can sell them quickly after you are done with them.

Here's a H&K SL8-6 that I partly modified to a G36 Rifle. I traded for this one on here awhile ago. I decided to modify it to a complete G36, but I've got my eye on a couple of other things so I thought I'd offer it up here and let whoever might want it finish it, also included is the complete SL8-6 Buttstock assembly and two H&K SL8-6 10rnd. Single Stack Mags, manual. Was $1985 Price Reduced to $1700 CASH FTF. I live in the Whitehouse area but can meet locally around Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, Gallatin and Nashville area but willing to drive half way to meet and complete the transaction. No Trades at this time. Here's the parts list that I installed and I'll list the parts needed to complete the G36 conversion. Parts I installed: 1- Tommy Built G36 AR style Lower. (allows the use of AR Triggers and Ambi Safety) 2- Geissele SD-E Flat Trigger(great improvement over the stock SL8-6 trigger) 3- Geissele Ambi Safety 4- HDPS Aluminum Folding Stock Block Conversion. 5- G36 Folding Stock 6- G36 Extended Bolt Release 7- H&K Soft Case (I purchased it separately) Parts needed to complete the conversion to be able to use either the G36 Mags or AR Style Mags. all parts listed can be found on HK PARTS. 1- Tommy Built G36 AR Style MagWell ( has the AR Mag release installed) 2- G36 Bolt (needed to be able to run AR Mags, or G36 Mags, the SL8-6 Bolt will not allow the AR Mags to seat fully. A new Complete G36 Bolt is $400+, I know of a place you can send the Orginal SL8-6 Bolt to be modified for $99) 3- G36 MagWell but you will need to run the G36 Mags it won't accept AR Mags. and you will still need to get a G36 Bolt or have the SL8-6 Bolt modified to a G36 Bolt. The parts are easy to insall, and if anyone purchases the SL8-6 that I started I'd be glad to help you finish it, not hard to do at all. Please PM me any questions and I'll try to answer them. I did list this on another forum I belong to, and I'll update here if it sells over on the other forum. Thanks for looking.

Boy I sure am glad. I was losing the strength to say no.

I don't trust or like Andy but he will be getting my vote. At least his voting record is ok.

Has huge potential,

S&W M&P15 .22 with 25 Rd Magazine. A riot to shoot & accurate.

I got one for the wife and she likes it. Her arm strength isn't great either but the slide action is very manageable. No grip safety like the S&W EZ, so that's another benefit. Besides filling her in on all the brand politics, I'm gonna shut up and let her enjoy it.

...and despite being 50+ years older the real Charger will still be around in 50 more years because somebody actually loves it.

Ill be putting on some Spare ribs in the AM. Ill do two racks in the 321 method and some jalapeno poppers with home grown Goliath jalapenos for the 4th

I do quite a bit of smoking myself. But I smoke butts to temp. Specifically 203 degrees. Sometimes it takes 10 hours, I've had it take as long as 26. I put 2 8 pounders on Monday night and they finished up right at 18 hours. I pretty much always do a pound or two of cream cheese if I start the smoker up, everybody loves it.

I agree with you, sir. The fact is, “Shall not be infringed” carries a lot of weight with me.

This is an epic decision, it effects every single alphabet agency there is. It is NOT retroactive, sadly. What it will do is create an imbalance between those that have been impacted by these wrongful determinations to take all of this to the Courts. It will also create a huge market for judge shopping which sucks all around

Prime example of the iPhoneification of firearms. More slight variations of the same ole stuff.

I'm gonna use that in a sentence today...........somehow.
