I guess I am living under a rock.  So what is up with walmart gas cans?  I have not bought any in over 15 years.

I used my HCP for my photo id to vote.   Hmmm?

Due to the weather and being busy to survive, I meant to post this a couple of days ago. This is a very good deal on Used Police Trade ins, BTW I know nothing of the retailer, order at your own risk: http://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/152691 [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/Deal%20Sig%20P229_zpsykem8c7l.jpg.html][/URL]

Doc. Davidson lives in Vonore, but his office is in Athens.  I hear he is an avid outdoors person which sometimes equates to a gun hobby too.  I have heard he barters from time to time.   He is just back from a remote medical, and he does lots of over sea missions.  Davidson Dental, Athens:  (423) 745-8363.  With the weather the way it is this week, I am sure they have openings and have an extra incentive to see patients.

I thought I posted this awhile back.  Didn't know it was two years ago.    Lee Ermey reminded me today, it was 70 years ago today that our great nation stormed that island.  I don't think they cared if those Japanese had a job or not, or why they took up arms to fight.  I think our great men were more interested in stomping out the enemy permanently into extinction.  Do you think our men had any rules of engagement back then?

First, I have to say I love electricity, and after 47 years I love it more now than I ever knew!   I have read in these survival and preparedness sites that one should voluntarily turn off power for like two days to get accustomed to life without power.  For the past two days, I was drafted by the environment due to the major ice event here in my area.  Then if that was not enough the approaching sub-zero temperature was my real fear.  Last night around 6pm, power was back!   Many lessons learned is all that I can say.  I know now that I need to cool my gun hobby, and focus on survival items.  My primary focus will be short term (1-10 days without electricity)!  How to prepare.    Here are some points that I learned, but not all points: One can never have too many 50-100' extension cables.  Two are not enough.  25' cables sound long, but are very short when needed. One can never have too many fuel jugs.  If you have 5, its a great idea to have fuel in them. If you do have fuel on hand, make sure its fresh.  Generators are not cougar fans, they do not like older gas. Small Honda EU1000 generator is great for tailgating, but not much more.  It will run the blower for the fireplace though, and a CPAP machine.  Heaters are out of the question. If you buy a new home with a great fireplace, try it on a good day first, before relying on it for the primary heat in a ice storm event. If your new home has no fireplace poker set, its okay, a tire iron or a crow bar will work.  If you buy a new home, make sure you have some level of firewood inventory.  There was a panic and run on wood like a run on the banks in 1929.  Propane tanks, keep them full too.  A similar run on propane like wood occurred.  If you have well water and toliets, and no elec, get use to the nursing home smell. LED flashlights will last forever.  Just need more.  I am talking about large ones.  Food?  Never entered my mind as I was too busy. Train the wife in many basics of life.  That was probably the hardest part.  She never bought firewood before, thought it only came from Food City in little bundles.  The firewood sellers prey on women of little knowledge of firewood.  Guard against junk firewood and the age ole what is the acceptable size of a rick of wood. Many more, I will add as they come to me.

According to NRA-ILA, M855 ammo will be banned: https://www.nraila.org/articles/20150213/batfe-to-ban-common-ar-15-ammo BATFE To Ban Common AR-15 Ammo Friday, February 13, 2015 More In a move clearly intended by the Obama Administration to suppress the acquisition, ownership and use of AR-15s and other .223 caliber general purpose rifles, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives unexpectedly announced today that it intends to ban commonplace M855 ball ammunition as “armor piercing ammunition.” The decision continues Obama’s use of his executive authority to impose gun control restrictions and bypass Congress. It isn’t even the third week of February, and the BATFE has already taken three major executive actions on gun control. First, it was a major change to what activities constitute regulated “manufacturing” of firearms. Next, BATFE reversed a less than year old position on firing a shouldered “pistol.” Now, BATFE has released a “Framework for Determining Whether Certain Projectiles are ‘Primarily Intended for Sporting Purposes’ Within the Meaning of 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)(c)”, which would eliminate M855’s exemption to the armor piercing ammunition prohibition and make future exemptions nearly impossible. By way of background, federal law imposed in 1986 prohibits the manufacture, importation, and sale by licensed manufacturers or importers, but not possession, of “a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely . . . from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium.” Because there are handguns capable of firing M855, it “may be used in a handgun.” It does not, however, have a core made of the metals listed in the law; rather, it has a traditional lead core with a steel tip, and therefore should never have been considered “armor piercing.” Nonetheless, BATFE previously declared M855 to be “armor piercing ammunition,” but granted it an exemption as a projectile “primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes.” Now, however, BATFE says that it will henceforth grant the “sporting purposes” exception to only two categories of projectiles: Category I: .22 Caliber Projectiles A .22 caliber projectile that otherwise would be classified as armor piercing ammunition under 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)( B) will be considered to be “primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes” under section 921(a)(17)(C) if the projectile weighs 40 grains or less AND is loaded into a rimfire cartridge. Category II: All Other Caliber Projectiles Except as provided in Category I (.22 caliber rimfire), projectiles that otherwise would be classified as armor piercing ammunition will be presumed to be “primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes” under section 921(a)(17)(C) if the projectile is loaded into a cartridge for which the only handgun that is readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade is a single shot handgun. ATF nevertheless retains the discretion to deny any application for a “sporting purposes” exemption if substantial evidence exists that the ammunition is not primarily intended for such purposes. BATFE is accepting comments until March 16, 2015 on this indefensible attempt to disrupt ammunition for the most popular rifle in America. Check back early next week for a more in-depth analysis of this “framework” and details on how you can submit comments. How to comment – from the BATFE ATF will carefully consider all comments, as appropriate, received on or before March 16, 2015, and will give comments received after that date the same consideration if it is practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given except as to comments received on or before March 16, 2015. ATF will not acknowledge receipt of comments. Submit comments in any of three ways (but do not submit the same comments multiple times or by more than one method): ATF email: APAComments@atf.gov Fax: (202) 648-9741.

25 years ago, had a relationship with a gal who lived there. Its between Newport and Greenville https://www.google.com/maps/place/Parrottsville,+TN+37843/@36.133763,-83.3439694,10z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x885bc62f7eba795f:0xdc495eb17f4e33b6 [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/parrotsville_zpsqwgtjgcp.jpg.html][/URL]

I want a DW

My father went yesterday and scored 2 or 3. He was pleased. He is more of the old school type. One was a winchester 68 about a hundred.

I guess I need to call the old man (my father), let him investigate.  BTW, thanks for posting.

Whats funny, my wife never knew of spam, or tried it once straight from the can.  She didn't know you could fry it.  She loves it, probably could eat it like your uncle. 

I thought this thread was on someone getting sick.  In my area at the moment, the stomach bug is in full swing.  So hacking up a shotgun to me is like hacking up everything including the kitchen sink.  Oh, well ignore me and my post!  :rock:

Was it the ghost of Charlton?  I understand he was a tall man, maybe not big. 

Men of wisdom, I have a question.  Wife and I recently purchased a new home with a Buck stove insert.  We have State Farm home owners insurance, and the agent asked us if this home had a fireplace, and wood stove.  We said yes, they said they needed to come out to take pictures.  Some lady just called and setup an appointment.    My question, why?  I have googled this and have found an array of information.  However, wanted to ask my brain trust gun buddies.  Anyone have experience?  This insert is extremely heavy duty and was professionally installed.  We are also having a Chimney sweeper to sweep, clean and inspect the chimney this week.   BTW, I will soon post about my new compound, that when I am done will make Hickok45's look like a carnival shooting gallery!  Had to say that just to make this post with a hint of guns!  It is a gun forum after all, not a insurance forum!

Spam!

No reports of any seismic activity on the governments earthquake web site: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ [url=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/ukraine%20earthquake_zpsehgozjza.jpg.html][/URL]

If you renounce, can't "legally" buy a gun.  This is a gun forum you know. 

The CZ75 is on my long range plan, but honestly in all of my years with guns, I have not fondled one.  Next time I am out and about at a gun store that has them, I will look at them.  I have ready many posts on other forums, and I admit they are intriguing. 

The only people who like change are babies with a wet diaper. 

I lived there a for few years going to College.  Beautiful area, but I agree on the liberalism.  Heck back then I was not too much into politics, and don't think I even owned a handgun.  I was very naive, but quickly could tell of the rub off from the college elite to the local scene.   That was 25-30 years ago. 

Love my 20 2nd gen.  Try the hot loads, lots of fun too!

When in the business of making money, sometimes its best to go with the least path of resistance, though wrong, it is what it is. 

I like this!

Its her guilt coming out.  All the things she has purchased that you don't know about!  She is trying to even the score with a guilty feeling.
