Hey we could take the money out of what we send to Ukraine!

Asking teachers what their thoughts on anything 2A related is like 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. They are going to take a dump on our 2A rights 10 times out of 10. The ones who don't wanna touch guns would NEVER be forced to, but they want to prevent the ones willing from saving lives. If a teacher is smart enough to educate our kids, he/she is smart enough to be trained to protect our kids. SROs are not any smarter than a teacher and the amount of actual firearm and situational training would likely be about even. If I need an opinion about astronomy, NDT would do. On religion, school shootings, and politics, he has proven himself to be a moron.

John Adams: 'Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.'

My sis-in-law lives in London, where my brother (RIP) grew up. I hope she and all her friends and loved ones are safe!

TN and NC Wolfpack play tonight and is on regular TV ABC 7:30 Go Vols. Also Michigan and Texas today at 12:00. Fells like fall football weather here cool windy with leaves coming down. Have a great weekend

That was before anti bullying. Now kids have no idea how to cope if someone calls them a bad name.

It’s the foundational law of the land. Its applicability to all and the results of its inadequacies should be readily apparent to anyone with eyes and a working brain. That’s the point of the Adams quote. He knew what kind of document he had helped craft and the type of people it was written for. We have created a population that can’t be adequately ruled by it because they do not possess the requisite moral principles that act as self limiting boundaries on behavior.

I have 3 adopted children. 4.5 in total if you take in account the 22 year old I have treated as mine for 6 years. (He's not officially adopted)I have a safe in the garage, a safe in the bedroom, several interior doors require key codes. My Wife doesn't have access to either safe. She does know the key codes because one is to the bedroom door. To get a gun you need a key code for the room and access to a safe. Home defense guns are accessible from the bedroom, if you're in the bedroom and you know what to do. My Wife and I are armed at the house. 3 of my adopted kids have issues. The main issue is the absolute absence of emotions from my oldest son. He knows it's an issue. Guns are not apart of his life even though he knows its apart of mine and his older siblings. My youngest son is the opposite. If he witness something get hurt, he'd be devastated. We spend a ton of time in the hospital or Dr with our youngest Daughter. We have had a few issues with the old Daughter due to the amount of time we spend with the other kids, but it was relatively easy with her. It's a delicate balance with them all. Stuff like this scares me to death. My oldest Daughter has won F-Class championships at 1k and 600 yards at 10-12 years old. My 14 year old son doesn't know how to take a safety off an ar15. My Daughter is almost 21 and slinging cows blood on a white background at MTSU so she can get a degree in forensics. It's not always the parents fault however sometimes it is.

The “change” everyone always harps on is not going to come from voting, elections, or the seriously pathetic excuse for people we have running the country from towns to cities to states and finally, the country. This is the society we have created. No one is responsible. Children have equal rights as adults. Those in government are self serving idgits whose only talent is talking. Rampant idealism with no grounding in reality or history. People pumping out kids and expecting the idgits to raise them but they can’t.

I think some people just need to come to the realization of several things. First of all, if you or your 13 year old kid is questioned by the GBI, FBI, or whatever law enforcement agency for threats made in person or online, you have some major issues that need to be resolved. Secondly, part of that resolution sure as hell is not going to involve providing something like an AR to an obviously troubled child. Especially after the previous point. Thirdly, parents are in fact responsible for their children. Period. If you enable your child who already has a “history”, you are culpable. i could go on but there is no point. Many of us grew up in a very different time. Unfortunately, times and people have changed…for the worse. Oh, and if things like this continue “they” will take all the guns, regardless of the constitution, although the idea is absurd.

Here I have a beautiful S&W Model 63-3 chambered in .22LR. This firearm is in very good condition and has seen little use. Everything works as it should and it locks up tight. It comes with the original box, packaging and accessories. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I’m located in East Nashville, thanks for looking.

$200 needs a stock.

The upcoming election is quickly approaching. One fact that I have a difficult time with is that most hunters do not vote. If you do not vote you better be happy with who is selected. The last 4 years should tell you that the democrats will do EVERYTHING in their power to infringe on our 2nd amendment rights. Whether that is outlawing assault weapons, limiting magazine sizes, or enacting universal registration. If you feel as strongly as I do about these issues.......Register and VOTE!!!!!!~!!

Nice. Great hunt!

$600 Only shot 20 times. Super fun gun, accurate with the iron sights, but would be a knock out with a red dot. Comes with 100 rounds of Hornady Black .450 Bushmaster ammo.

$500 4 mags and holster. Ameriglow i dot night sights. 4 mags and Bravo Concealment holster.

Thanks Austin7.62. I got a few other nice finds with this one to include an Enfield 1888 modified by WW Greener. Another find was a VL loader Daisy Heddon that shoots caseless ammo...wild.While they are all very fascinating, I've just not been the collector of old arms, lol.

From what I understand the system did work. Shooter came in, panic buttons were pushed, SRO got there very quickly and ended it. Problem was the shooter still had time to hurt a lot of people. However, bear in mind that the damage could have been much worse. No matter how prepared you are, life and death are a matter of seconds. For the most part, nobody really knows what's happening until the first shots are fired. Then its too late. We need to be focused on keeping the crazies outside and not get in. Even more we need to heed warnings and stop them before they even think about shooting. We are in a mental health crisis and nobody wants to address it.

…or Israel!

IMI Jericho 941 FS (rare two tone) Comes with one magazine. $500 Must be legal to own a handgun in the state of TN. Serial number blacked out for photo.

KelTec KSG 12 gauge for sale. Added MFT Vertical Grip. Pump action, double tube 14 rounds (7 per tube) with 18.5" barrel. Asking $625. Purchased earlier this year but am selling to fund another purchase. FTF transaction in or around Murfreesboro.

^^^^^^ I can't say I've ever been a Texas fan, but I really hope they continue to play well and win against Michigan. The TN game should be good!

All armed teachers proposals I've heard are trained volunteers only with Principal approval, so no burden on anyone. Agreed on all the extra security you mentioned though

I believe the Dad has a very good chance of beating his charges in court. However, the legal fees will bankrupt him. But then, maybe that's the whole idea behind these charges. If your kid gets crazy, you're gonna pay one way or another.

One of the originals this world is a less place without him. I know he taught me a thing or two.

The genZ group is way different depending where they live and grow up. I work with a bunch and they are mostly conservative, with an acceptance of others shall we say. My 23 year old son is like that. And talking to them they are all voting for the bad orange man, and like minded local politicians. Most of us were taught don't talk politics well BS to that don't ever stop talking politics. And please if they won't install term limits we have to stop voting the same people to the office if they can't move up move them out. No more lifetime politicians.

I run a 12.3" 12 gauge police 870 for the tractor and shoot rats. I hate to tell you how much fun it is.

So I only know what I personally like, but my Beretta A303 20 gauge semi autos are among the most reliable guns ever (with standard loads). Have had mine since the 1980's. Can be found used for a decent price. However, only the sport model had a shorter barrel AFAIK and that was 26". Don't see those a lot.

He was a good guy. Not the "typical" gun guy youtuber and that's what I appreciated about him. He was 'real' and did some fun stuff that was educational, too. God speed to Mr. Harrell.

Where I went to high school, there were gun racks in trucks. Where I grew up there were a lot of adults strapped at all times. Yes, we could resolve things without weapons, one on one. We could also say "I'm going to kill you" and not be arrested for the rhetoric it was.

You're pulling a lot of what if's here. Why not go so far as to say what happens when a kid steals a car, wrecks into a patrol car, and steals the officer's weapons? There were unsecured firearms in my home as a child. I never touched them without permission. There were hundreds available to my high school classmates, and there were many fights as well as bullying that went on. Therre were no shootings in any of my schools growing up and I never heard of any elsewhere. It isn't the guns, it isn't accessibility. I have my own opinion as to why but I'll let you figure out your own answers.

Glad you got the washer working again. I hope your back is okay.

Exactly. With rights comes responsibility. The bigger the right, the greater the responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the bigger the consequences for failing to live up to them.

This is very true and is well stated. I too switched several years ago to a XDs .45 and have run thousands of rounds through it. The acquisition of this firearm, the feel, the familiarity, the reliability and the fact that it is muscle memory rather than only thought to bring it to bear, far exceeds the benefits of a few more rounds or a red dot or a rail system or anything else. Everyday carry (EDC) is for one purpose..... to save my life and the lives of my loved ones. It represents the most hallowed position that can be held in the realm of firearms. This is in no way a put down of the newer technology that is available or the cool features, etc., etc., etc. I enjoy those as much as most others.

Welcome to TGO. I'm not that good enough at clays to judge, barely get by with a 12g without looking really bad but ran the clay machines enough times for competitions to see good shooters get higher scores than me with a .410 if you still want to do clays. Maybe try sport clays so you have a bit more time doing a round. I haven't shot it yet but was given the tour of the new Greeneville sport clay course and it looked challenging. You need to bring a 4 wheeler/golf cart of some kind or rent one. I think they said the cart was only $5 extra,.

My Dad had that same coat. He wore it while quail, squirrel or rabbit hunting. I borrowed it from time to time when I went hunting. Its a good practical hunting garment. Sadly, it wore out long ago. I don't even remember what happened to it.

Please, no one take this as a statement of indifference or callousness toward those injured or the families of those murdered. I mourn with them, as we all do I am sure. That said, of course a school shooting happened during the run-up to the election. No conspiracy theory is needed to support my lack of shock, either. Sick people are going to do sick things to get attention during this time of increased attention by the media on things that are polarizing or triggering to the American people. Keep your collective head on a swivel, people. The months ahead are going to be interesting.

Hate to hear this. I only discovered his videos a year or so ago. I enjoyed watching them. Through his experiences and vast knowledge, he offered some good info. He will be missed. RiP Paul.

Knew this was coming but still hate to hear it. I always enjoyed his presentations. RIP.

And here's the final look, also installed a new set of Night Sights also. The grips are made by Wood Caliber and are made out of American Walnut. Now I'll tear it back down lube and hand polish some of the internals put it all back together screw on the grips and give it a go and see how it runs.

You do understand that we want pictures don't ya?

Keep in mind comps most likely will increase muzzle flash. This will affect the shooters vision in low light situations.

Red for me because I find it stands out well against most backgrounds.

Emerson CQC-7 folder in pocket. ESEE 4 fixed These two are workhorses in my humble opinion.

The EDC will get many good responses. As for a fixed battle blade, contact Grand Torino here on the forum. He'll make you a custom to your specifications for a very fair price. I've bought several of his builds and had a commissioned camp knife that is phenomenal.
