10-Ring

I'm sorry but if you fire a weapon you are 100 percent responsible for where that bullet goes. It is negligent to fire into the air, period.

I've known black people who consider the term "African American" offensive as they have never been to Africa. IMO there is nothing wrong with simply using the word "black" to describe someone of a dark race. I certainly don't take offense when someone refers to me as white, though I don't think I would be comfortable with German/native Tennessean.

There is a reason that ugly bikes still sell. It seems that the uglier they are the better the bike they are. I would still like a Versys someday, I haven't came across an owner of one yet that didn't love theirs.

Ammo cans are the way to go, cheap, rugged, and waterproof. I always preferred top loading luggage as opposed to a clam shell design so all of your stuff doesn't flop out when you open it and you don't have to hold everything in place just right to get it closed. Additionally ammo cans look cool, but obviously if you own a KLR you don't care about looks anyway. (Said by a guy who has a lengthy history of owning ugly bikes)

I just downloaded Waze today, really cool app and I was surprised how many people are using it. Seems to work very well.

Pellet guns and bb guns are what I really cut my teeth on. For general utility use a $50 pellet gun will be fine. I'd say some of the marksmanship should that I have today came from overcoming things with those old pellet rifle, I once killed a good sized muskrat with a daisy eagle at about 15 feet humanely, they are capable if you are.

Surprised that we haven't had to give up fireworks because they offend members of ISIS or something like that yet.

IMO you are always rolling the dice on a Taurus, if you get a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday gun you are in good shape, if you get a Monday Friday gun you had better learn to throw it accurately. I own one Taurus and love it but it took some work to get it to run right.

I've been thinking about this thread all week, between the guys hostility right off of the bat and his making race an issue I kind of think this guy was just a bully looking to start something.

I have a friend who just sent in his paperwork for his HCP and received a letter back requesting the disposition of a 1974 simple possession charge, of which the case was dropped. The problem is that he was arrested in Davidson County, yet Davidson County has no record of the case. My friend does not know how to go about getting his HCP at this point, anyone have any advice?

What is the law in Tennessee? Are we allowed to carry during a state of emergency?

Heck I tried living in another state once, that lasted 4 months. I've entertained the idea before anyway just because you should always explore your options. I couldn't find anywhere in the world where I thought I would be happier than here. New Zealand seemed pretty attractive, I just wasn't crazy about certain laws and some of their politics.

My grandmother has a sulfer water well in Wilson County. Neighbor has a well about 300 yards away that he gets nice clean water out of, so it's hard to tell what you will get even if there are other wells close by. If thus was an either or proposition I would elect for city water. It's nice to not have a water bill and have your own water but you can drive yourself crazy trying to maintain a filtration system to make your well water suitable enough to bring in your house and even then it may stink and stain everything.

Hard to say if you did anything wrong to initiate the situation.  I would assume that #### started with the letter "F" which you should not have said in front of a small child, but it sounds like he was looking for a fight.  At the point someone threatens that they will pull me out of the car I have to assume that is their next move and I would be going for my gun at that point.    I just really hate the thought that there was a small child that got to witness this, and thankful that she didn't have to see her father or whoever she was with get shot.

  You completely waste the opportunity to find every little thing that may have been dropped anywhere in your garage since you have lived there. 

Buy a good gun belt, a good holster has already been mentioned, it is amazing the difference a quality belt and holster make. Don't be a douche pickle.

You are inviting trouble when you are out and Scott intoxicated and carrying a gun. Since we all have a different definition of the word "couple" a good rule of thumb would be to stay home after you pop the top. I knew a fella that was involved in a SD shooting while highly intoxicated, things did not go well for him legally. Basically he perceived the guy that he shot at as a threat when he wasn't, had he been sober there would have been no altercation. I believe that it would be irresponsible to propose that it's ever appropriate to mix guns and alcohol.

Bunch of guys with flags on their trucks parading around Mt. Juliet today, they were all together.

I work outside and usually spend periods of time each day in unairconditioned metal buildings. I can't stand to let my beard grow long in these conditions. I like to let it get thick in the winter though.

What thickness of kydex works well?

Saltine crackers and water balloons.

They carry scarlet fever this time of year as well, I don't need with them until after a hard frost. I don't like killing much of anything while the young are depending on it either.

I think they just put a target on all of their drivers.

One huge benefit of .308 is that practice ammo is pretty cheap, can't say the same for .270.
