    I think you all are wrong!
  2. I've only used Facebook to buy a gun once and it was this week.  I was looking for something in particular that isn't exactly common.  I placed a wanted add and had a response from a local guy in about 5 minutes that offered to sell me the gun for $50 less than I had offered.  He even offered to meet me half way.  After I browsed his profile, saw pictures of him with his kids and no sign of being a wanna be gangsta thug, I met him with confidence.  I still prefer TGO but I'd do a Facebook transaction again, it was a good experience.
  3. This is something that I'm going to look into.  This is the way that I felt after purchased a gun safe, I'm sure that an alarm system provides for great piece of mind. 
  4. Another reason that I wish  that I could opt out of SS.  We are already crazy in their eyes simply because we have a desire to own guns.  The antis are going to use any and all underhanded tactics necessary to keep them from us.  There is no way that admitting firearm ownership to these idiots can have a positive outcome.  Furthermore, someone correct me if I'm wrong, a patient has no obligation to answer the question.
  5. I go where I want and haven't had any trouble, just got to take it easy and assess each part of the road.  Years of dirtbiking and rear wheel drive sports car shenanigans help too.  Those things have gotten me used to a rear end breaking loose.  Tires do play a big part.  I got new Michelin M/S 2s last year and they have been great!
  6. I'd take 1 Subaru to two Fords.  A friend of mine has a WRX STI that is an absolute blast to drive.  And, it will carry the groceries and kids home in the snow!  If I ever find myself in a situation where I'm car shopping a Subaru will be the first thing that I look at.  Until then I'll be practical and continue to drive my truck.
  7. I used to live about 2 miles from Chillhowie Park.  Not an area I would venture into unarmed.  That said the gun show over there has about as much to do with the local violent crime as I have to do with the space program.

    Cz and sig?

    I'm in this boat right now as well.  The only place that I've gotten to get my hands on a CZ was Academy and they won't take the trigger locks off so I have no idea what the trigger is like.  The price point on the CZ is attractive but after shopping Gander Mountain for the Sig, Academy's price on the Sig seems too attractive to pass up.  Which brings me to another question, I don't know a lot about Sigs but I've done a lot of research in the past few days.  The tag on the Sig that I looked at at Academy read "226B" anyone have any idea what that "B" means?  I've looked on Sig's website and Wikipedia and couldn't find anything.  I just don't want to buy a gun and find out a week later that I didn't get what I thought that I got or should have gotten something else. 
  9. I've rebuilt motorcycle engines on the kitchen table before but I did it and had it cleaned up before the wife got home!
  10. Fine for deer under 100 yrds.
  11. Honeybun, made sometime since when plastic was begun to be used for food packaging.  Eating this stuff is really good for you because it keeps your body from aging.  If it doesn't rot it won't let your body rot either, right?
  12. I appreciate the bill, not because I think that we need to register journalists but because I think that people who oppose the 2nd amendment need to realize how idiotic they sound and the only way that is going to happen is if we threaten to take away something that they like.
  13.   It's been years since I shot at Bend of the River but it's probably my favorite range that I've ever shot at.  Don't know if it is still the same but it used to be their policy that if you were a range member then you could pick up your brass there. 
  14. I get my feelings hurt every time someone calls me "gun nut" or "inbred redneck" I feel like I need a safe space where I can just be myself. I really think the government should give guns ammo and range time to people like me.
  15. You can join GSSF on site.  Just bring your Glock, 50 rounds of ammo for each class you are going to shoot and eyes/ ears, I think that covers it!
  16. I can't remember what size shotgun shells we were shooting out of my FIL's Judge but the .45 packed a lot more punch (recoil) than the shotshells did.  I wouldn't recommend this as a casual house gun, it's big, clunky, and heavy.  Instead I would look a either a pump, single, or double barrel shotgun with a 18" barrel, or a .357/.38 revolver. 
  17. My buck take was down this year.  3 last year to none this year.  Some of this can be attributed to passing.  I had chances on at least 4 bucks that I passed on.  Only one I regret is an ugly spike I passed on early in the season.   If you will recall we had that funky warm weather right at the peak of the rut which in my opinion had their movements limited a little bit.  I certainly was not seeing the number of bucks that I saw at the peak of last year's rut.  So, my personal data and observations contradict the stats.  I have nothing.  I spent a lot more time afield this year than I have in the past 5 years combined probably and I just wasn't seeing the bucks that I saw in 2014, I would say that I saw vastly more bucks in 2014 than any other year that I've hunted.  I hunted exclusively in Wilson County this year and looking at data from both the 2014-15 and 2015-16 it looks like Wilson County is trending with the rest of the state, I guess I'm just an anomaly. 
  18.   I believe that is going to be any buck with an antler less than 3" that is not considered a button or a buck whose antlers have fallen off.
  19. I had a great time.  Thanks to everyone who helped put it on.  Looking forward to Wednesday night's IDPA match.  I may have a new obsession!
  20. Sounds like a good day!  I was about to look and see if they still stock Stones River in the winter below JPP.
