If this same AR would have hit the market about 12 months ago, MSRP would have been about $600 cheaper. Not impressed.

Slingin' them gums already, eh? Welcome to TGO! Enjoy your stay!

That's what happens when you spend all your money on guns and ammo instead of paying your phone bill.

There was one main instructor, then there were a few other assistant instructors. All claimed to work for and/or had worked for Williamson County Sheriff Dept.

That's where I took my HCP class, and they never mentioned any suck law. On the other hand, they did try to push those damn badges.

The Powder River is nice. I have used it in 2 of my XD's. Same with the TFO's. Those are real nice, IMHO.

This was great!

I just stopped by the Sam's Club in Rivergate, and they claim to have ethanol-free gasoline. That's right down the street from me, so I will start using them. FWIW...You do NOT have to be a Sam's Club member to buy gas there. You DO have to be a member to get the 5¢ discount.

I didn't realize that. I'm a member, so I'll check the Sams Club near Rivergate.

Does anyone know of any gas stations in the Nashville area with Ethanol-Free gasoline? Any in the Hendersonville area would be best, but any will do. Thanks in advance.

I'd also love to urge everyone to consider becoming a TGO Benefactor. It's a great way to show your support and get in on those amazing deals at Hero-Gear. Heck, if that's not enough, there's always the Girls and Guns (or something like that) thread that can only be seen by the lucky Benefactors. That alone is worth the price of admission.

Charlie is often hanging around the range. If he's not there, just walk up the little path at the end of the range. His house is on the other side of the trees. There may be a phone number, but I don't know it.

The gun club is no longer affiliated with the range. The land owner, Charlie, has the range open for business. He is a great guy. The yearly membership for the range is $40. And like I said before, well worth it, IMHO.

No problem here. I was just surprised to learn that some of us couldn't edit our posts. I figured it was a simple oversight.

Since I don't know of one, I'd suggest joining Owl Hollow. It's only $40/year, and a great place to shoot. No, it's not free, but it's cheap and well worth it, IMHO.

No, there is not an edit button. One can only assume that David has it set where non-Benefactors don't have the option of editing their posts in the Classifieds section. And, the PIF is in the Classifieds section.

Try it on my what?

That sucks. I'm glad someone invented private sales and the gun show loophole. Best of luck with your appeal.

There's the start of a very stylish holster.

WOOOOHA! $200+ is a bit more than I'm willing to pay for a case that will only be used to transport a few pistols to the range and back. That does appear to be a very nice case, but a bit too rich for my blood.

Congrats! What do you carry?

Yea..Where and how much?

My Grandfather lives in the swamps of Louisiana, and he's been nice enough to give me fresh turtle on more than one occasion. I generally use recipes from the net, and these are the best two that I've found. Ingredients • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter • 1 1/2 pounds turtle meat, trimmed of all sinew and cut into 1/4-inch cubes • 8 cloves garlic, minced • 2 medium-size onions, chopped fine • 4 stalks celery, chopped fine • 2 medium-size green sweet peppers, chopped fine • 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus to taste • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper • 2 medium-size Creole* tomatoes, seeded and chopped fine • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour • 3 quarts beef stock • 1 cup Worcestershire sauce • 2 tablespoons Crystal brand pepper sauce, or other relatively mild pepper sauce • 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves • 5 large eggs, hard-boiled, chopped fine • 6 ounces fresh spinach, washed, stemmed and leaves sliced flne • zest from 3 lemons, chopped fine • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice • 1/2 cup good-quality pale sherry Directions 1. Over medium-high heat, melt the butter in a heavy 7-quart saucepan. 2. Add the turtle meat and garlic. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about five minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Stir in the onions, celery, sweet peppers, kosher salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables start to become translucent, about 10 minutes. 4. Add the tomatoes and cook about five minutes, stirring often so the bottom of the pan does not scorch. Reduce the heat to medium. 5. Dust the vegetables with the flour and cook five minutes, stirring constantly and scraping the pan bottom clean so the flour does not burn. 6. Slowly add the stock, stirring and scraping the pan bottom constantly to prevent dough balls from forming in the soup. 7. Stir in the Worcestershire, pepper sauce, parsley and thyme. Simmer 30 minutes. 8. Add the eggs, spinach, lemon zest, lemon juice and sherry. Continue simmering 10 minutes more. Serving Suggestion: Taste for salt and serve warm in heated cups or bowls. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INGREDIENTS 2 Pounds of Turtle Meat (cubed) 3 Bay leaves 2 Sticks Butter (unsalted) 1/2 Tsp. Oregano Cup All Purpose Flour 1/2 Tsp. Thyme 1 Cup Celery (diced) 1 Tsp. Course Black Pepper 2 Cups Yellow Onions (diced) 1 Shot Dry Sherry 1 1/2 Cups Tomato Puree 3 Tbs. Minced Parsley 1 Quart Beef Stock Juice of One Lemon 6 Hard Boiled Eggs (chopped fine) Salt and Pepper to Taste INSTRUCTIONS In heavy saucepan melt butter. When melted add flour and cook until the flour turns the color of a penny. This roux must be stirred at all times so it will not burn. When roux reaches the desired color add your vegetables and turtle meat and cook until turtle is brown and vegetables are clear. Add the tomato puree and cook for about 15 minutes on low fire. In stock pot simmer beef stock. While boiling add the mixture from your saucepan and stir until soup is mixed and roux is dissolved. Stock should be smooth and have body. Simmer soup until turtle becomes tender at which time you may add your lemon diced eggs and parsley. Each plate should be served with a shot of sherry on the side.

Way Cool. Congrats to you and your boy.
