I could tell several but I'll tell this one. It happened in the late seventies. I was going to work one morning running 55 on the dot. Met a trooper and looked in the mirror as we met. He was turning around in the road. I clutched, downshifted to third and put the pedal to the mat. I was about two miles from work and was comming up on several hills. Well, I outran him and when I got to work I pulled in between two buildings and around back. There was a seventy something year old guy worked there part time and he was standing in the side door when I went by him still moving at a pretty goo clip. His eyes were really big when I went by. I went in the building to the front window (this was a auto parts store, the real old fashioned kind) and watched the trooper go back and forth two times. He made the third trip by and when he came back he slowed down, pulled around back, and walked in the side employee door just like he owned place. He asked who is driving the SS around back. What could I say but "me". He says "I should arrest your a** right now and carry you to jail". Then he said "come with me". So we go around back and he pulls out a tape measure and tells me my bumper is one inch too high. I knew that but thought that would not be enough for anyone to notice. He gives me a ticket for that and only that. I don't know why that was all unless he did not want to go to court and say I outran him. I deserved more and never got one that I did not have coming. So I borrow some wheels from a friend, get the back down one inch, and go to court. My bumper gets measured and I'm good to go. It did not cost me a dime. There were a lot of cops back then who knew my car and knew me by name after writing me so many tickets. But I really tried to steer clear of that trooper. I felt like he might have it in for me. I might tell another one later. This is the most I have used a keyboard in a while and I'm worn out.

They do that in Gibson TN all the time.

I have to pick water and if water does not count I'll go with coffee.

Same here. He needs to go! He is the only one I have never got a response from. I am not in his district anymore so I can't vote against him.

I too would like to know this.

Another vote for the M&P.

How much does it cost?

I'll admit to that. I haven't even fired at one yet. I have been thinking about taking my hunting license back, tell them mine is defective and exchange it for another one. To the OP. How close to them were you when you went outside? I'm glad your dog is going to be OK. It sounds like you and the dog look out for each other.

Don't count on it changing. Too much money to be taken in by the state for that to happen.

I've never had any problem shooting them.

Why didn't you tell him how you really feel

Worried Man, you make a good point. I would not put anything past those people. I read that the guy who called Barney Frank a fag came out of nowhere and then disappeared. He was not with the tea party folks and they were thinking the same thing you said. It has also been reported that Barney Frank said to one of the tea party people, "F*** you".

I was very surprised by Tanners no vote as well. I just knew that with him retiring and with nothing to lose his vote would be yes.

Done!

I don't know. It came over Face Book this afternoon so I assume it is today..

+1 It does exactly what it was designed to do. It is small and light so it does have considerable recoil but you can put it in a pocket. It's just a trade off. You give up one thing to get another. It is not a range gun but I bet that if it ever was used for what it is made for you would never notice the recoil.

I knew there would eventually be some fallout from his stunts but I don't think they can do this........can they?

I do it from time to time. Besides there being a good reason to practice this, it is just plain fun.

34% yes 66% no

I thought for a while this had a god chance of being defeated but now I'm not so sure. What I can't get over is how they keep on trying anything and everything to pass this knowing the American people DO NOT want this. They are a persistent bunch.

I really can't believe this but they posted the results on the opinion page. I have never looked at that paper before but they must be a better paper than the ones on mid and west TN. At the least it did not just disappear never to be seen again. TheDailyTimes.com: Maryville, Alcoa & Blount Opinions, Columns, Letters

+1 I have never used my pocket knife as a weapon BUT I use it every day as a tool so that is what I consider it to be.

I have Direc. Changed from Dish 2 or 3 years ago. At the time of the change the channel menu was much simpler with Dish. May not be that way now. Other than that I did not see much difference.

I don't think even that would get some of them out of the left lane but if it would get some of them to move over it would be worth it.
