Definitely in for a couple.

Scariest part is that he has tightened up his argument and rounded it off so well that it will probably sound completely reasonable to the uneducated.  They keep repeating how they aren't wanting to take away anyone's rights and they are sportsmen themselves and just want these minor, reasonable common sense changes.  I have had to re-educate too many people I know who I would have been sure knew better before they opened their mouth.  This programming is getting to people.

Thanks for the link, R4MBO.  I'll finish it up tonight (hopefully).  I've ben in a  lot of discussions lately and this will be a good resource ro expand with.  Though the data will probably be just for me as no one seems to want to hear anything that has to do with facts.

Nice little video and thanks for the can opener link, vontar.

I own a few higher dollar knives including a couple of auto openers. I was considering the purchase of a new EDC and received some great advice from a guy who is extremely serious about his knifes, "You don't want to be carrying any knife that it is going to hurt your feelings when an overzealous cop/security person takes it from you or if you have to quickly wipe it down and toss it in the gutter." Also, as one of my law professors pointed out, nothing in this country is actually illegal until someone complains.

24/7. My daughter has lived with me solely for the last 6 of her 17 years and most of the time prior to that. It is a hell of a thing to try and fill both parents shoes.

Very well put. She probably had to call AT&T to she how she was to vote. She's been in their pocket for a while now.

I received a response from Keith Speer to the question about parks & greenways. He said that he would support permitted carriers to carry anywhere permitted by state law but he would not be the one introducing it as there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed in our county.

It is very interesting that you can't find contact info for candidates. For fun, I went and tried to find it for those listed above as well. I did find this on Bruce Casper: Campaign For Liberty — Davidson GOP Chair Supports Gay Libertarian Candidate for Mayor Keith Speer's Facebook page with email: Keith Speer | Facebook .. and this little piece in the Tennessean mentioning Don O’Donniley: Politicians late on paying property taxes put on notice | The Tennessean | tennessean.com Which states: Don O’Donniley, an attorney who also is seeking an at-large seat, said he was waiting for the settlement of a recent lawsuit so he would be able to pay the combined bill of more than $2,200 on two properties, including his Belmont Boulevard home. O’Donniley said he’s been late with his payments in other years but has always paid the penalties and gotten caught up, usually by April. He said he recently fought a three-year battle with cancer, with medical expenses totaling $100,000, and regularly uses settlements from litigation to generate cash flow to pay his bills. “The more relevant question is, has someone failed to pay them over time?” he said. “If you’re behind and you don’t catch up, that’s a problem. ... I can’t imagine why you’d be complaining about somebody paying interest.” He said he would pay his taxes before Election Day, which is Aug. 4.

Thanks a lot for the spreadsheet. I really love the votes on January 19th 'Public to Vote on New Convention Center'. We, defeninitely don't want that pesky little Public guy getting in the way again. Did you put this together or pull it off of the Nashville.gov site?

It is the "eye of the beholder" part that is worrisome. Already a story out of Dickson, TN on a issue. This time it was a LOE that found the sticker offensive and she removed it. Woman Pulled Over For Offensive Bumper Sticker - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports From the stories that ran on stations when this came out, it seems anyone can call and issue a complaint and an officer will check it out. The officer in this WTVF story instructs the lady to do the same. I think I am going to get a sticker made that says "Offensive".

Unfortunately this is not a new tax. There has been an "obligation" to pay tax on purchases from out of state (online, catalog, etc) for sometime. I just don't know of anyone who have volunteered to do so. States have been whining about making sellers bear the burden of collecting taxes for states that they do not even reside in (but are selling to) for quite a while now. They would want it automated even if people were sending it in, though. Just as with the Income Tax, the more automatically it happens, the less people are aware of how much they are being taxed. If you are Amazon, maybe you can absorb the costs (or pass them on) easier but if you have a small family business selling custom gun parts nationally, for example, it can be quite prohibitive/costly to have to keep up with 50 states + our territories' tax structures as well as collect and file everything. It's the overhead of keeping up with all of this that will hurt businesses (especially small businesses).

Thanks for this review. It is great to see someone detail an experience, especially one that I am strongly considering.

Good to hear from you and even better to see that you are enjoying the heck out of life.

Good to see some more representation from the Mid-TN area.

Thanks for the opinions. I am looking for a new EDC and will check out the Tenacious tomorrow.
