  1. Because I've never been in such a situation, my opinion is nothing more than speculation. But I'd be willing to bet that serving 3-5 tours in a s*** hole where the enemy is trying to kill you every day is more likely to cause someone to "break" than a concussion. I think the fact that our troop aren't doing this type of thing more often is a true testament to just how mentally strong our men and women truly are. Although it's difficult to justify such actions, I can't help but feel sorry for this guy. I've never had to walk a single footstep in his boots, so I can't honestly say that I'd be able to handle the stress any better. This is especially true when it appears our government is doing a real s****y job at ensuring our servicemen and servicewomen are properly care for in terms of their psychological well-being.
  2. Probably not, but I don't think making the school pay financially and force policy changes is necessarily a bad thing. I only wish one of the changes would have included the ability to carry on campus.
  3. Thank you for hosting this giveaway, and congratulations to the winners.
  4. http://www.wsmv.com/story/17136715/2-arrrested-hendersonville-apartment It would be nice to have more details about the situation, but based on what you've read in the above article, should the guy who came to the rescue be charged? Would you have done the same thing or something different? The other guy was charged with attempted first degree murder, so even the police are admitting the woman was in grave danger.
  5. Since you specified "handgun", I would at least consider a Taurus Judge. With the cost of living over there, I hope your income will be in the high six figures.
  6. It will be a polymer single-stack/stack and a half 9mm.
  7. They retaliate against us, we retaliate against them. It's going to be a vicious cycle until we get out of there.
  8. http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/11/world/asia/afghanistan-us-service-member/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 I can't say that I'm surprised. I was just discussing with a friend the likelihood of something just like this happening.
  9. Personally, I prefer Owl Hollow. It always feels more relaxed and enjoyable, not dealing with the Range Nazis...errr...Range Officers. If I remember correctly, you can get a yearly membership for about $40 per year.
  10. Owl Hollow - Located in the Franklin/Spring Hill area. http://www.ridethatbike.com/CHMR/CHMR.htm
  11. I know exactly where every single firearm that I own is at all times, so this is something I'm unable to understand.
  12. This is what I found. TRAILER INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS BRAKES (T.C.A. 55-9-204) (FMCSR 393.42.393.43) 1) Trailers with gross weight of 3,000 lbs. or more are required to have brakes on all wheels. 2) Trailers with gross weight of 1,500 to 3,000 lbs. are required to have brakes on one axle. 3) Trailers with gross weight of less than 1,500 lbs. need not be equipped with brakes. If I'm reading that correctly, I would probably be required to have brakes on all wheels. I'm not sure of the weight of just the trailer, but I don't imagine it would be too difficult for the trailer plus the load to exceed 3000 lbs. I'd think the weight of the trailer alone, plus two 700-800 pound motorcycles would cover that pretty easily.
  13. Does the state of Tennessee require you to have trailer brakes on a utility trailer? Someone told me that TN requires all axles to have brakes if the trailer is 12' or longer. The Summer County Clerks Office could not give me an answer.
  14. Nice
  15. Based on some of the posts by others in one of the few Topix threads where he was mentioned, he was a corrections officer at the White County jail. He was fired for numerous infractions; giving a piece of cake to an inmate was the final straw that got him canned. Someone posted a link to an article where he was pictured, in uniform, along with other White County CO's.
  16. After some research, I purchased a decent Kodak All-In-One not too long ago. It was one of their wi-fi models, and I think it was about $100. It's been the great, and the ink is so much cheaper. The only complaint is that it's a little loud. Can't say it's the best printer in the world, but it's been the best I've had.
  17. I'm probably part of the minority, but I am more fearful of being stuck in a storm shelter (especially an underground model) after the door is blocked/covered by debris than I am of an actual tornado. I've seen some that appear to be built and designed better than others, but you need to be careful because I don't think the storm shelter industry is very regulated, if at all. Put some serious thought into the design and functionality of the shelter, before, during and after the storm.
  18. I think that was someone's girlfriend or wife. I saw her, too.
  19. She's not racing today.
  20. The waiver can be printed from the website. If I remember correctly, the waivers need to be filled out, sent back to our coordinator (56FordGuy?), then turned into TDOT prior to the cleanup date.
  21. Ah, I did not even think about the side to side angle. I'll have to go out to my truck and see what my options are.
  22. I just got done watching the Tekonsha P3 video, and they mounted it under the dash at what appeared to be at least a 45° angle, maybe even more. http://www.tekonsha.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=3&parentid=1400&catID=1435∂=90195
  23. Tekonsha is the brand I've been researching. I've noticed many of the new models are self-leveling so no level adjustment is necessary. I'm sure you'd still want to mount it as level as possible, but based on what I've been reading, that may not be nearly as important as it once was.
