I think Slim's postings are off topic . . . the thread was asking about TGO members who are Masons, etc. Sad to take a shot at folks just to take a shot at them . . .

My mother has fought cancer for the last ten years. It started with kidney cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, and cancer of the lymph nodes. Today, we learned that there is a lesion on her brain. To say the least, she is devastated. No less for her son. We will be visiting specialists next week. I covet your prayers and kindred thoughts. Thank you for your support. Luckyforward

Please consider a pocket . . . Yes, I am a geek. But I do not use a pocket protector!!

I'll be there . . . Please also have a place where you may shoot a shotgun . . . no ranges that I know of have that option at ALL.

I am interested in the new forum, and would like to know how to access it. I am an LPC-MHSP, and would like to help in some way, if needed.

As one who spent 25 years in active pastoral ministry, denominational executive, and now church consultant, let me give one warning to all who are thinking about having church members carry for congregational protection: CHECK FIRST WITH YOUR INSURANCE CARRIER!!!! A situation in my second pastorate in the early '90s called for congregational protection, and our deacons began talking about carry at church. One of our deacons was also the church's insurance agent, and he decided to check with the insurance carrier about church members carrying at church. The insurance company was emphatic: in no way would they cover in terms of personal injury or liability any injury coming from a church member carrying a firearm at church. In my consulting with churches, I have found this to be the case with other insurance companies that cover churches. Some require trained security personnel for insurance coverage. I would encourage you to check with your insurance company first.

I appreciate the big stores - they have their place, and I am sure they have great employees. It has been my practice to buy firearms from individuals who have them for sale or the small gun shops run by individuals. Yes, I admit I have paid more in the small shops. At the same time, I know that I kept an individual operator in business, fed his family, gave his staff a job, and did it all without enriching a large corporation. This may not be your view, especially in these tough economic times. But it is worth thinking about!

This year marks my mother's 10th year battling cancer. May God grant Larry the strength he has given my mother. Amen.

Welcome to TGO!

I am doing therapy with a female much like one described here . . . the scariest reality is how justified she feels for the things she is/has done to her ex-husband. None of it is her fault. Thus, her narcissism is what makes her dangerous. Talk with an attorney, and document EVERYTHING she has said or done. You well may need it someday.

I am waiting for my renewal as well; reality is that all renewals are being put through background check because of problems with issuing HCPs to those with orders of protection against them. NOT fault of DOS; state law does not have mechanism for taking handguns from those with HCPs who have orders of protection issued against them. State house is looking at the situation. Head of the THP notes that there needs to be central database listing those with HCPs who have orders of protection so proper steps may be taken.

One man . . . at least two reported personalities . . . I see fame and fortune ahead with my book and movie deal: "The Two Faces of Firearms: Tungsten and David." Remember, you heard it here first!

And of course, when I taught my wife about how to clean her gun, we were watching "Gone With The Wind," therefore nothing happened to her . . . I guess this goofus thought he was the world's best multitasker:rolleyes:

J frame Smith or an SP 101

I think I saw Antioch Barbie on a street corner near Hickory Hollow Mall . . .

My tiny, slim wife easily carries her hammerless SP 101 in a concealed carry purse; the middle, hidden pocket makes the gun easily accessible to her and she does not have to "dig" through her purse to find it.

We have the same here in Nashville, Dave . . . Harpeth Hall Barbie East Nashville Barbie Brentwood Barbie Madison Barbie . . . I could go on and on . . .

As a native Chattanoogan, I saw them all! LOL

SHOOT THE DAMN GUN . . . WHAT IT WAS MADE FOR!!!

So, so sorry about the loss of your dog . . .

I saw and heard a lot of this crap at the last gun show I went to in Franklin. The object is to scare folks in order to get $$$ in pocket . . . As usual, TDR, I totally agree with you.

Okay, you are asking who in the Hell is "Larry?" Larry gets home late one night and, Linda, his wife says, '"Where in the hell have you been?" Larry replies, '"I was out getting a tattoo." 'A tattoo? ' she frowned. ' What kind of tattoo did you get? ' 'I got a hundred dollar bill on my privates, ' he said proudly. 'What the hell were you thinking?!' She said, shaking her head in disgust. 'Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred dollar bill tattooed on his privates?' "Well, one, I like to watch my money grow." Two, once in a while I like to play with my money. Three, I like how money feels in my hand. And, astly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred bucks anytime you want. Larry is recovering in room 232 at the hospital . . .

The insecurity in this post is so interesting . . .

Glockguy: EXCELLENT POINT! Whether or not anyone likes Kent Williams, the major question about him is this: WILL HE ALLOW BILLS TO LEAVE COMMITTEE AND GET VOTED ON? This is what Naifeh would NOT do . . . My opinion of Kent Williams is on this point alone: if he does not allow votes on issues, he is Naifeh Jr. Time will tell . . .
