10-Ring

As mayor I don't think she has a lot of swing.  She's dangerous and should be watched though.  I hate that Nashville has grown the way it has and has been taken over by a bunch of rude liberals with out of state plates, most from the North.  It all started when the Titans got here and it's gone downhill every since.  Us natives are outnumbered by a bunch of Yankee liberals that want us to do their way, yeah, I'm a little bitter about it, sorry for the rant.  Oh yeah I also blame the sharp rise of housing cost on them as well.

Will his head explode if I tell him that I send money to the NRA? 

  This is something that the firearms community needs to start talking about and fighting against.  I hate to hijack a thread but this needs to be addressed.  How many alcoholics out there already have HCPs?  I know of a few personally.  So a person can get 2 DUIs before the HCP is revoked but if they realize that they have a problem and want to get help then their ability to obtain a HCP is gone for 10 years?  How many members of Congress have had 2 DUIs in the past 5 years and/or went though substance abuse treatment in the past 10 years?  I know of a few gun owners who refuse to get mental health assistance even though they admit that they would like to because they don't want to have their gun rights trampled on because they saw a mental health professional and/or were prescribed certain drugs.  Personally I see a bigger move in the future to disqualify gun ownership because of the use of prescribed drugs.  HIPPA does what?

There were a few loose primers in there I think they were all inserted into disks.  Found the following advice in another thread, I'll credit 300winmag.  So, guess I'll have to make another range trip this week...  

I thought that I had read that somewhere at some point but didn't see anything on the label about it.  What kind of primers should I be looking for?  Any chance a more powerful primer could cause my zero to change at all?

I knew a guy that had a HCP and got a possession of marijuana charge, the judge took his permit from him. After he was off probation the judge gave it back.  That would make me think he couldn't get one while on probation but I'm making an assumption here and could be wrong.

I was checking my new black powder gun today and testing out some new powder (Blackhorn 209.)  Rifle is a Knight .45 DISC.  Snapped a couple of 209s then loaded up 90 grains of Blackhorn and a 195 grain Powerbelt.  Just in case it matters I'm using 777 primers.  I fired and it sounded like the primer didn't ignite the powder but it looked like a bullet hit the water in the pond 20 yards behind the backstop, which is really odd since I'm shooting down into the back stop and I'd be aiming probably 5 feet over my target to hit the water, and really it could have been a limb falling in the water or a fish surfacing at just the right time.  Still not convinced that the gun had actually discharged I waited a few minutes and checked it with the ram rod, still being new to the gun I went ahead and and pulled the breech plug and the powder and projectile were in fact gone.  The barrel was filthy and I think I put a thick coating of bore butter in it before storing it after I used it last time so maybe that fouled the powder?  Yeah, I know I should have remembered to clean it first.  While I had the breech plug out I cleaned the barrel and loaded back up.  The next shot was dead on center and the next two were 1/2" low and left, touching each other.  I just can't figure out why that first shot made no noise, could the primer alone have pushed the load out of the barrel?  I've had primers fail to ignite the powder plenty of times but they have never cleared the load.  Plus there was no smoke, though the Blackhorn doesn't seem to smoke nearly as much as Pyrodex anyway.  I also can't figure out why the first shot was center and the other two were off center yet well grouped.  Someday's these blackpowder guns frustrate the crap out of me.

I have spent countless hours on this site since you posted the link.  I'll share this one that I use to locate WMA land.  http://tn.gov/twra/topic/wildlife-management-area-wma-maps

I just want a new president, who isn't a democrat.

I've bought at least 1/2 a dozen sets of tires from them, always top notch service.  My old boss became a customer when I had a flat on my company truck and they fixed it for free, he bought a $1200 set of tires for that truck from them a couple of months later.  Plus the one in Mt. Juliet is across the street from Gander Mountain which is more or less my second home.

This is good to know but I'd be curious as to how long it will run and how long it will shoot accurately. 

I'm of the opinion that they don't actually live here but people from Arkansas drop them off on the shoulder of the road while passing through.

I think that this is an issue that needs to be discussed.  We walk a fine line between exercising our rights and giving hard working cops a hard time.  There is a time and place to do both.  Ultimately in both of these situations following the police officers directions would have kept both of the subjects alive, and cooperation would have likely resulted in a minor offense.  IF a person decides to inform an officer of their rights they had better be on top of their game when they do, as mentioned in the video the kid in the first video is required to show his license.  Another good idea when inserting your rights is to remain calm no matter what, this can and should be done while being respectful of the officer.  Yet an even better idea if you have a complaint about the way an officer is treating you would be to request the presence of the shift lieutenant.  If that doesn't yield the desired results a formal complaint and a lawyer may be in order.    I usually have a tendency to side with cops in these situations.  IMO, however, the cop in the second video was shooting out of anger and not self defense.  Maybe it's just the camera angle but it really does look like the officer was out of harms way when he fired.  Both of these kids decided to play stupid games and they both won the grand prize.  A wise man once told me "it's not about who's right, it's about who's left" I think that applies here.  Oh yeah, and I thought they said that no one has ever died from marijuana???

Good way to sell, not a good way to buy.

Does the fact that the seller didn't want payment until I was satisfied with the boat come into play here? 

Specifically a Mercury 115, 2005 model.  I just bought a new to me boat and it sports this engine.  I can tell you all about 2 smokes but 4 strokes are foreign territory to me.   I've spent a few minutes trying to find maintenance schedules and whatnot and the online but the only thing that I can find are links to buy the manual.  While I will buy the manual if all else fails I would like to find a free PDF download if possible.  Right off the bat I know I need to replace the water pump impeller and change the oil as I know the PO personally and though they had the oil changed seasonally I doubt they ever had the impeller changed.  I did find a how to article on changing the oil and was wondering if anyone knew if the motor needs to be completely upright to do an oil change.  The boat is in the water and I'd just rather not take it out to change the oil.     Other than that I took it 30 miles upriver on Saturday and it ran great.

I say that this is an effort by the sissy vegetarian tree hugging leftist to first declare that meat is bad and then do what sissy vegetarian tree hugging leftist do, ban it to protect us from ourselves.  Never trust anyone who doesn't eat bacon, never!

Martin's is probably my local favorite.  We also like Jonathan's.  Courtney's is pretty good if you care to venture out of Providence and is about the only option for a good meat and 3 style meal.  On the chain side of things I've taken a liking to Blue Coast Burrito here lately.  For Mexican we eat at the Margarita House.  If you want a good meal of steak or spaghetti and don't mind driving 20 minutes Demo's in Lebanon is hard to beat.  

 Yes, you can go wrong if you have enough fortitude not to sell out for a burger as The Pharmacy is posted.

I've been battling whether or not to switch to Blackhorn for a while.  Obviously cost is the main consideration, other than your issue with the primers how did you like it?

Man that would double the number of deer that I would be bringing home on the 7th!

Don't feel stupid.  I've seen you do a number of generous things for people over the years.  Perhaps nothing is more noble than serving others, yet if you do it long enough you are going to get taken advantage of.  Chock it up as part of helping others and remember that your generosity may have resulted in a decent meal or a fun toy for a child that most likely leads a pretty bleak life.

It's kind of nice being the scariest thing around on the upper end of Old Hickory.

  Every day of my life!
