  1. I thought those cry babies were always talking about tolerance?  I guess tolerance means "accept everything about us and deal with it but change everything we don't like."
  2. Hornaday Critical Defense.  I've seen what they do to ballistics gelatin, never was comfortable carrying a .380 until I found this ammo.
  3. There was recently a Goupon for a class in the Knoxville area.  I'd look for you but I recently got a new phone and haven't needed to download the Groupon app yet.

    Bye Bye Bersa

    I think my dad has owned every compact .380 on the market and swears by the Sig.  I was very disappointed with the Glock 42, I really wanted to like it but found it to be too big for my liking for a .380.  IMO the advantage of a .380 is its size and the 42 doesn't cut it.
  5. I remember when I was in school our school district was constantly trying to make news by being the first school district in the state/country do do just about anything.  They just wanted to be noted so they had all kinds of silly programs and rules.  About half the school would rebel against every new rule and they would get the media involved, which made the school system look really stupid.  Talk about the crazies running the asylum.  I think Dickson County needs some of that spirit if there are any kids left that have the guts to do it.  
  6. I'd call my local game warden and express my concerns.  I'd bet he will give you permission to shoot it on site.  A simple and polite phone call could mean the difference of getting it taken care of legally versus facing legal repercussions.
  7. I was thinking something like that would solve all of my problems, just have to get it past the finance committee :(
  8. Under 100 feet I'd go with the 20 gauge, it will be plenty effective, I'd say more effective than the .223 especially if it's a moving shot as you will have  bigger margin of error.  I can almost promise you that if you sit and wait he will never show.  but, have you patterned the shotgun?  Everyone sights in their rifles but hardly anyone puts their shotgun on paper to see where it hits at 10,20,30, or 40 yards and it's almost never the point of aim.   Since you are not a hunter let me make a suggestion.  Once you get set up and you are waiting go ahead and draw your gun as if the coyote has presented itself.  I can't tell you how many times I have been out in the woods and found that something was in the way when I got ready to draw.  I would also just keep the gun pointed in the general direction that you expect the coyote to come from as you will want to make as little movement as possible once you spot it.  I had a coyote spook on me at about 40 yards once when I clicked my safety off and it wasn't even a particularly loud safety.  Not sure on the legalities of baiting coyote but if it were to stop to eat something that would give you a good still shot.
  9. Just the guy that I was hoping to come along!  I'd say that it could be considered incident to lawful fishing, but I honestly have no idea why one would use a high powered rifle to fish and would not want that to be my excuse if I were to have to go to court.  It really sounds like a gray area that I don't want to be the test dummy for the case law for.
  10. I've searched T.C.A. and can't find anything specifically addressing this issue.  I've recently gotten into boating and was wondering about the legalities of carrying a rifle on the boat.  Pretty sure that I'm okay if I'm unloaded, not so sure about it being loaded.  Sometimes it's hard to track down T.C.A. codes because they only go into what is illegal most of the time.  I already carry a pistol as well but I see a few advantages to carrying a rifle on the boat... -  If someone else is shooting at me say from the bank or another boat a handgun would be about useless.  Hey, stranger things have happened and there are nuts everywhere. -  It isn't uncommon to see deer or other game while I'm fishing and a lot of that land is considered WMA.  -  Because if it's legal to do so I just want to.     
  11.   I've never understood this either.  I'm good at sitting on the couch, why would anyone listen to anything that I have to say concerning aeronautical engineering?
  12. Think about how much better the world would be if a Hollywood type had to get a real job every time a gun was fired and no one was harmed.
  13. I have one just like it I'll let go for $450 if anyone is interested.
  14. I think a bigger problem that we have in America than the number of Muslims among us is people that want to infringe on the rights of others because they don't agree with something.  Replace the word "Muslim" in this thread with "gun owner" and everyone here would be outraged.  Making an attempt to ban an entire religion, which I assume is the premise of this thread, because of the acts of a few is no different than attempting to ban the private ownership of firearms because of the acts of a few.  This is simple hypocrisy, you can't infringe the rights of others and not expect your own to be infringed as well.
  15. I can't seem to find my tin foil hat this morning but I've had a suspicion that NASCAR is about as scripted as wrestling for some time now.
  16. All of the sudden I feel a need to own a butchered up M1 carbine if I could find one in the $300-400 range.
  17. Part of the reason that I'm not interested on open carrying in public is that I won't have to spend massive amounts of money to prove my innocence when one of those authorities that wants to resist the state law decides to make an example out of me.  I hope this does happen and I hope that the open carrier wins his case and then sues the pants out of everything he can afterwards but it won't be me.
  18. This will likely be of little help but here goes.  I'm not familiar with Boone lake but Center Hill has little privately owned property surrounding it.  The Corps of Engineers does not issue dock permits and does not allow the old permits to be transferred when the property is sold if I understand correctly.  I believe that there are now less than a dozen private docks remaining on Center Hill.  Therefore, it will likely be difficult to get accurate information that is relative to your situation.  I do know that Wolf Creek Dam in Kentucky has had issues for years and if it gives it will wipe out tons of houses along Old Hickory Lake.  I don't think that property values around Old Hickory have suffered a bit, if anything they have gone through the rood in the past 10 years.  
  19. They do in fact rent out an entire section of the range, in fact that is the sole purpose of that section of the range.  My contact was not sure about rates or availability, he said a call down to the range could get all of those questions answered.  I would volunteer but I just have too much going on right now.  And fyi, I do believe that is the opening day of archery season though I'm not sure how many folks would have a conflict with that.
  20. This nothing to do with safety and everything to do with preventing people from sneaking in snacks.  It's all about the money.
  21. Sure it has poor bullet performance at that velocity, but should be negated thee inevitable burning and deafening of anyone being shot by it.
  22. I'd like to make it but I can't make any promises.  I do have a contact at Stones River and I'll check about renting the range although I highly doubt that we will be able to rent out a public range on one of the three days of thew week that they feel are open seeing as none of us are politicians.

    I wish more people had this attitude than the"concealed means concealed" crowd. I too refuse to patronize a posted business.
  24. I disagree, I think Ferguson needs a lot more gasoline and a match.
  25. Check this article out. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/11/oath-keepers-ferguson-automatic-rifles Evidently the oath keepers were sporting "M-15 rifles with several magazine cartridges strapped across their buddy armour." I'm not up to speed on this M-15 platform but I think I need one. Seriously though how do"journalists" expect anyone who knows anything to take then seriously when they are either 1) making stuff up our 2) taking someone else's word on the facts?
