I got my permit in 2008. It took 70 days before it arrived in the mail.

I have been trying to obtain the FN 520 Tactical .22 to practice with hoping with the high cost of ammo these days I could shoot with the same feel of my 509 tactical. I had my card out to purchase one at Sportman's Warehouse but it had a couple of flaws out of the box upon inspection before I completed the purchase and they had to send it back to FN. I am now looking for the Sig instead because of the higher capacity and lower price. I can use it to train for my Sig 365 XL instead. I have lots of .22 ammo to burn through so I can save my 9mm to use sparingly.

Reminds me of this Tom Rush song.

Sorry to hear, sounds like a very fine man indeed. Thanks to you both for your service and will pray for him and his family.

My 1993 Goldwing gets about 45 mpg, I may use it more this year with gas prices going up and up. I actually put more miles on my bicycle for social and health reasons and may use it more for trips to the store. The Goldwing will definitely get more use this year for longer rides.

When the EMP explodes everyone will have to travel that way.

At least I'm not growing old all by myself.

I use Pmags in my Ruger PC9 carbine. Never failed me yet.

I understand completely, my wife just stares at me like a deer in the headlights at some of my jokes.

Either your wife has no sense of humor or you need to DNA check your kids!

Not just short answer but the best in my opinion. You can carry in more places in Tennessee and also have reciprocity in 38 other states.

A man and his wife are awakened at 3:00 a.m. by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. “Not a chance,” says the husband, “it is 3:00 in the morning!” He slams the door and returns to bed. “Who was that?” asked his wife. “Just some drunk guy asking for a push,” he answers. “Did you help him?” she asks. “No, I did not, it’s 3 a.m. in the morning and it’s pouring out there!” “Well, you have a short memory,” says his wife. “Can’t you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him.” The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, “Hello, are you still there?” “Yes,” comes back the answer. “Do you still need a push?” calls out the husband. “Yes, please!” comes the reply from the dark. “Where are you?” asks the husband. “Over here on the swing,” replies the drunk.

Sorry for your loss. Takes awhile to get back on your feet after losing someone. Prayers.

Good to have you.

That's why I keep riding my bicycle to stay in shape, in case it becomes my primary transportation. Of course I won't be here in 47 years.

I bought a new 4 WD Silverado in December of 2019. It had $13,000 worth of incentives at that time. The dealer where I bought it contacted me several times willing to buy it back at $3,000 more than I paid for it. I declined their offer. It came with a lifetime drivetrain warranty. I will switch to an electric vehicle when that warranty runs out.

I had the Browning machine gun myself, probably the same one like yours. When the batteries ran down my parents wouldn't buy me any more. It was quite noisy. LOL. I also had some Davy Crockett pistols and a 1911 that looked amazingly real. It came with 8 bullets that would fire and then you just snapped the bullet back into the casing and you were in business again. I left in on the dash of my mother's car once and the gas station attendant got quite nervous and asked her if it was real. I also had a Dick Tracy .38 special that was pretty real looking too.

Merry Christmas to all.

I have ridden bicycles regularly since 1976. I still have to not overeat to keep weight off though. During the pandemic when everything was shutdown I rode more and ate out less. Went for my annual checkup and the Dr. noticed I had lost 14 pounds since the year before. I told him it was due to Covid. He said "I didn't know you have Covid". I told him I didn't but since I couldn't go anywhere (especially restaurants) I rode more miles than ever so the weigh came off. I rode 7,400 miles in 2020. My usual goal for a year is 6,000 miles.

Wonderful! Congratulations!
