Our power was out for about 6 hours, luckily about 2:00 am it started raining pretty hard so that really helped the firefighters.

Upstairs at my house is a Remington Magnum Express 870 with deer barrel. The gun is loaded with five 3" #4 buckshot loads. The gun is plain. The gun patterns wonderfully with #4 buck and OO plus field loads. For other uses there is the original 28" vent rib barrel. If necessary, this rig would ,with factory deer barrel, work for anything smaller than Godzilla.

So i never followed up on this. The second guy was given a memorial party... with a cash bar (don't get me started). That's how he lived and that's how people wanted to remember him. So, who am I to judge? However, I did grab the mic, tell a few funny stories and then point out that he had a problem, just like we all do, but often in different ways. Then I said sternly that if you're struggling with anything, find help. There's 50+ people in this room, i'm sure you could start here. Including with me. That's about the best I can offer.

A "services offered, services needed" with locality. In these troubled times of woe and want, it might be nice to support fellow members of the board with their projects or if one were to be a practitioner of said Trade or vocation, might be amenable to providing services for fellow members. Ad example "Wanted in Tullahoma area, well driller for water well". Inversely, "well driller available Tullahoma and 150mi in any direction, call for TGO prices!" I've found this a great way to get good deals, finish projects, avoid taking chances on Facebook flakes, and most importantly SUPPORT FELLOW GUNNIES! Just a thought. In my previous vocation as one of the nation's premier FAL, AK, HK, GALIL, AR builders and firearms refinishers i was able to trade all manner of needed services for my labors, from legal representation to dentistry, BARTER remains untaxable and a great way to exercise independence from the ever-intrusive State.

Henry H003T - pump action 22LR with octagon barrel. Brand new and recently purchased, less than 100 rounds through it. This was an impulse buy but I have another pump 22 so I really don’t need it.

It’s heartbreaking to watch someone lose themselves to alcohol, especially when they've tried to fight it. I’ve seen a relative go through the same, and what finally made a difference was getting help from a professional place like Abbeycare. It wasn’t just about stopping drinking; they helped with the mental side of it too, which was a game-changer. Sometimes, a structured program is the only way out.

Bought this on here last year. Added the optic and refinished the slide in nitride. Looking to free up some cash for another project. Comes as seen with the Holosun EPS Carry (brand new) and 2 mags. Any questions, let me know. $1000, Located in Crossville, TN.

And after their watch, they head to the mess hall for chow.

I’d love to find a pistol like that! Congrats on the pickup. Dan Wesson revolvers were quality made revolvers back in the day!

Yes 22 lr

Price increase to $3000 after finding more magazines and another case of ammo. So at least a dozen mags and one unopened case of ammo, along with a partially opened case, along with an uninstalled Fostech Echo II, folding brace, optional folding stock (not installed), Holosun optic with box and papers, sling, Magpul grip (not installed), and an UpLula mag loader. I'm just as happy to keep it. It runs well and it's my last AK, so I won't be parting any of it out. But if you're interested, contact info is listed above.

Got a couple of M12’s and a riot style 1897 for cowboy shoot’in. I arguably see the M12 and REM M31 (got 2 of them too) as both the top of the pump ‘best ever made’

I have a new in box Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol 12GA semiautomatic. It has the gray receiver. Purchased it new with the intent of getting in to shotguns and it just hasn’t happened. I disassembled and cleaned the factory gunk out and oiled it up so it should be good to go. It is unfired outside of the factory testing. Comes with all original box, choke wrench etc also including 50rds Monarch 12GA 00 Buck and 25 round’s Winchester 12GA Heavy Target loads. I have a nice Boyt case that will fit the shotgun which I will include as well.

As a psychotherapist (and the grandson and son of an alcoholic) one way I try to educate those who are drinking too much is to educate them on what's going on in the brain. Alcohol is dually reinforcing because it can both activate the brain’s reward processing system that mediates pleasure and reduce the activity of the brain’s systems that mediate negative emotional states such as stress, anxiety, and emotional pain. Sometimes, if a person can come to understand that the effects of ETOH on the brain affects the brain as a disease, that will lead them into getting help. To get folks to confront their usage, you gotta try every tool in the box . . . https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/cycle-alcohol-addiction

So I was a Pall bearer for my buddy on Thursday. Sad affair. 6 hours later we got the call that a family member was found unconscious in a parking lot. Another alcoholic. He passed away at 3am this morning. Please please please.... If you struggle with alcohol...seek help. Don't be afraid to admit it and talk about it. Pray about it most importantly. It won't be an easy road, but there is a road to recovery. If you have loved ones who struggle, confront it. They may be angry with you, but what's worse, their disapproval or their early burial? Someone out there needs you/them. A wife, a child, a friend. It doesn't just ruin your life, it ruins theirs. Please get help. Hell, ping me privately. I will talk to anyone.

Sorry to hear this Stan and the rest that have similar stories. I'm 71 and grew up in a culture that everyone drank and smoked. And then one day after even doctors said smoking was good for you. Look at some of the old cigarette ads. The cars all had cigarette lighters and ash trays. And yes it really is hard to tell a kid not to do drugs as you sit there with a beer or mixed drink in your hands. I used to be a drunk, the difference in a drunk and an alcoholic is alcoholics go to meetings. I haven't drank in about 20 years or smoked in 25-30 years. Both of these substances are hard to break. Not everyone can be a social drinker. Alcohol has it's place as a cough medicine but that is about all I can see it is good for.

Sorry you keep encountering this, @NoBanStan. I agree with everyone involved in the tragedy of it all. I don't drink anymore for health reasons (made my blood pressure way easier to manage), and I don't miss it at all. I'll never be a prohibitionist because we saw how that worked, but if the world went dry, or reigned it in for their own reasons, that would make it a better place, I think.

My wife's aunt recently died as a result of her drinking. She crawled into a bottle after her husband died 7 years ago and drank herself into the grave last month. She/I weren't close, but I hated seeing the gradual pain and loss her alcoholism caused my wife and mother-in-law. I feel your pain, brother.

My father was a weekend drunk. He would start of Friday and sober up on Sunday afternoon. He was a functioning drunk. All his activities were centered around drinking. All his friends did the same. Our hunting, fishing, and camping trips were all drinking parties for him/them. Like others here, I determined not to live that way and put my family through that ordeal. I have not had a drink since Military in the late 60's. His drinking really had an effect on me, and may I say for the better. Drinking can diffidently take your life. Sorry for the loss of your friend, NoBanStan

You are a good man and did the best you could. I have seen people do the same thing. It is terrible to watch.

Had a good buddy with that affliction that I invited to live with me and my then wife to give him a stable space to figure himself out. The house was bone dry but that didn't stop him. Looked into outside intervention which ended up being a dead end. Unless you are family (which his was far away and just treated him like an ATM) there's practically nothing you can do. He eventually bought a house and we moved elsewhere because watching the decline play out in real time was too much to bear. A couple years later, up to the usual imbibing ritual, he slipped and bonked his noggin' and that was it. Best and hardest thing I did was walk away because you can't help people that can't help themselves.

It's a more powerful addiction than ppl seem to realize. I understand social drinking is widely accepted and promoted but some people allow it to consume their lives. Im thankful to have been exposed to the dark side at an early age and was shown what I didn't want to be when I grew up. Sadly some can't beat that devil in a bottle.

I'm at the point I'm more angry and resentful about it than sad.

I have been where you are. No way around it, it just sucks. My friends death still bothers me today. Such a waste of a life. Sorry you are having to go through so much lately.

Brother-in-law drank himself to death. Rehab never worked and he went many times. He was such a nice guy, too. The alcohol just seemed to "own" him and he couldn't escape it. Very sad. He was about 58 y/o. I had heard alcohol could kill you but never saw it happen until B-I-L. Now I know it's true. I feel bad for anyone w/an addiction. It's like the devil is in control.

Another +1 for Stones River. I've been going there while MCSC is closed despite it being a drive. I'll be very happy once MCSC is back open...

Yes this is a good place!
