I know times are tough for many of us, but I'd like to ask each and every one of us to make a serious effort towards helping someone in need. Even if it's a $10 gift card to your local grocery store. There are folks who would appreciate a $10 gift just like it's a $100 gift. Maybe you know a neighbor, friend-of-a-friend, or a complete stranger. Search out that someone to help this year.

I sure hope you confiscated that deer.

I'm sorry to hear about this. Our sincerest condolences go out to you and your family. Don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do.

Whoever's running Wal-Mart these days should be running our country. They have it figured out. That said, I choose not to shop at Wal-Mart.

I work for the second largest wholesale flooring distributor in the country, and if they take away our Christmas bonus, I'll be out a whopping $50. That $50 would come in real handy these days, but like several others have said, I'm thankful for the job I do have. I know losing a bonus like that really sucks, but do your best to imagine all the folks who are not only without a Christmas bonus, but are without a paycheck, too. Their Christmas is REALLY going to suck.

Welcome to the world of gun shows in Tennessee. Maybe the whole country. Stop now!

You're very welcome. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Having LEO's in my family, I try to do my very best to be open-minded about subjects like these. As a family member of, what I'd consider "decnt" LEO's, I think I have a fair grasp on what they have to go through. On the other hand, as a "normal" citizen, I know exactly what we have to go through. For anyone to act as if the "Blue Code of Silence" isn't a huge issues, they are not being realistic with themselves. If what little--or a lot, depending on how you look at it--I hear about the BCoS is any indication as to how bad it has become, it's a much more serious issue than most would like to admit. Personally, I'm stuck in the middle. As a citizen, I do expect LEO's to be held to a higher standard. If they're going to punish me for something, I sure as heck don't want them turing around only to do the same thing, or something even worse. On the other hand, I know how desperately I don't want to and can't afford to lose my job. I can only assume that, like my LEO family members, most LEO's are in the same boat. Afterall, like most of us, their job is their livelihood. Not only do they have to worry about being fired for turing in one of their "brothers" or "sisters", but sometimes being fired could be the best thing that could happen. Often time, the fear of being ostracized or blackballed can be far worse that being fired. I know I wouldn't want to go into work only to ridiculed, berated and shunned, all for doing the right thing. Yes, doing the "right" thing is always the "right" thing to do, but sometimes the decision isn't so black and white. It's sad, but oh so very true. There is not one of us who can honestly say that we haven't turned a blind eye to wrongdoings, when we knew it wasn't the "right" thing to do. As far as the comments made by meadowmb, I'm not sure why everyone is getting all bent out of shape. Don't kill the messenger. Like the source(meadowmb or The Shield) or not, they are not far off. The National Institute of Ethics--the nation's largest provider of law enforcement and corrections ethics training--have done countless similar studies, and have come up with similar conclusions. The BCoS exists, and exists in a big way. It's a lot to read, but here is some of what they came up with.

If all this is true, I now have my AR listed for the low low price of $5,600. Delivery include.

Why is it that you lose your right to own a firearm when you beat your wife, but not when you beat a perfect stranger? Physical abuse is physical abuse.

Go into the woods, look for an animal, shoot it. Class over. Passed!

Dat ain't no Turdy Point Buck, but he sure does look mighty tasty. Congrats!

With all due respect, it doesn't sound like any parties involed were acting in a mature manner. I'd call it even.

Phil is a good dude. Thanks for the info.

Trust me, I know all about doing what you have to do in order to make ends meet, but every time I see an ad looking for an armed guard, the pay is around $9/hour. That kind of risk hardly seems worth it. Just my 2 cents, and good luck.

Cool! What was the purpose of such a field trip?

Stones River on Hobson Pike. This is an outdoor range, so it may be a little too cold for you. Gun City on Murfreesboro Rd. in Nashville. Guns & Leather (Best range around, in my humble opinion) in Greenbrier. On Target on Thompson Ln. in Murfreesboro. Based on your location, those are what I can think of right off the top of my head. I know it's hardly the closest, but I'd really suggest making the drive out to Gun & Leather. They are a great bunch of guys who are more that willing to help a beginner. They also rent all types of handguns, so you can get a much better idea of what type is going to suit you best.

Yes, I did, and that thing was awesome. Seeing that .458 slice through both sides of a steel tank like hot butter was was simply amazing. Built on an AR platform, it's as close to perfect as perfect can get. I have no other big bore experience for a comparison, so I can't help you that much. I would take Rightwinger up on the offer to take his .458 for a test drive. You won't regret it.

Bellshire's on Dickerson Rd.

MidwayUSA is one of the cheapest places. I have one on my AR. They're out of stock on the full-size stocks. They still have the shorter ones.

Many of my family members belong to a union, have belonged to a union, or own companies who have become unionized. All of them are doing very well, and I've never heard any complaints coming from their direction. Most of them belong to the Mason Union or Ironworkers union. Several have retired very well. Most others have been members for 15+ years. After listening to most of them talk over the years, they are in it to make as much as they can as fast as they can. They are looking out for #1. If and/or when unions are a thing of the past, they will deal with that if/when that time comes. Until then, they are getting their piece of the pie. I've often considered moving up north to do the very same thing, but I hate it up there. I have no personal experience, so I can only speak of what I hear and read. I can see both sides, but with the events going on these days, it's not looking very good for many of the unions.

LSN is well-known for such ad's. I see "P" series Ruger's for $500-$600 on a regular basis.

This was posted over at AGO. Just a little perspective.

I did buy 100 rounds of WWB .40S&W.
