A simple fondle will be enough.

Can't wait to shoot it!

+1 to what Mosinon said. The Norris range also goes out to about 220-250 yards. No RSO's John Sevier range in Knoxville is $5.50/2 hours and is sit down only. 100 yards max. ORSA is a mighty fine range. 1000 yards.

Carrot or stick?

Those cheerleaders are packing heat.

FYI, the 7.62x54r is a .311 diameter bullet. That's the spec.

I am greater.

That ain't right.

Not bacon made out of chicken. I'm taking about bacon cooked up fried chicken style.

Go find a RIA 1911A1 and start from there. No need to spend $1k. Yet.

If you really want to travel then the East Tennessee TGO crowd is having a hootenanny October 11th. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/events-gatherings/27282-atten-e-tn-norris-range-sunday-oct-11th.html The Norris range is up in the sticks. No RSO's, cost's $15 for an entire day (or $30) for the year.

Welcome. Is Grissom AFB where that excellent display of a B-17 and B-25 bomber, among other planes, can be found on the side of the highway up to South Bend?

First, go down to Walmart and buy up all the pumpkins before Obama gets'em. Then carve Pelosi on one. That should give kids the heebie-geebies!

I want some chicken fried bacon.

The Nancy Pad is merely to increase stock length and give the user a more Western (civilization) experience when operating the rifle.

From experience, I was taught that "Ignorance is no excuse". Reversal of that means standing tall before the man. Take that for what you will.

Gettin' a little anxious?

My sincerest condolences.

What's wrong with communists? Inventory your home for everything made in China.

The City of Knoxville is a government entity within Knox County. They make their own laws, and frankly, could give a about what Knox County does. That being said, you cannot carry in a Knoxville park, but can a Knox County park. Furthermore, if you are on a county greenway that goes into the city, then you may need to disarm. On top of that, when a park is taken over for some school-related activity it's off-limits. Oh, and don't forget that some "parks" may be on school property.

I have a Baby Eagle .40 (same gun, made by IMI). Won't win any beauty contests but is the most accurate gun I've ever shot. Big and built like a tank, a heavy gun. It's a CZ-style design. Good stuff.

me dummer now.

DISCLAIMER: This only applies to Knox County parks (and greenways, I assume). Not City of Knoxville parks.

Knox County Commission votes to allow guns in parks Knoxville News Sentinel KNOXVILLE - Knox County Commission today voted 13-5 in favor of allowing handgun permit holders to carry their weapons in county parks. Voting to allow guns in parks were Commissioners Tony Norman, Ivan Harmon, Mike Hammond, Craig Leuthold, Richard Briggs, Brad Anders, Greg "Lumpy" Lambert, R. Larry Smith, Michele Carringer, Bud Armstrong, Dave Wright, Mike Brown and Paul Pinkston. Voting for the ban were Commissioners Sam McKenzie, Thomas "Tank" Strickland, Mark Harmon, Amy Broyles and Finbarr Saunders. Those arguing in favor of handguns in parks said it should be allowed under the Second Amendment and that there have been few instances of problems with violence in Knox County Parks. Briggs pointed out that there has been no instances of emotional people using baseball bats in confrontations at county parks so he didn't expect parents to resort to using guns as a lethal weapon. Those opposed to allowing guns in parks expressed concern because some parents get emotional during sporting events in county parks. Broyles, who proposed banning guns in parks, said she does not have a handgun permit, but that she was a sharpshooter in high school. "I've been assaulted," Broyles said. "I've been raped. I'm very concerned that there's evil in the world. I'm concerned about children in these recreational leagues." She also noted that the city has a ban on guns in parks and there would be a "patchwork" of greenways - some where guns are allowed and some where they are not. The Legislature this year approved legislation allowing handgun permit holders to carry their guns in local and state parks. The bill included an "opt out" provision where cities and counties could opt out of the legislation. More details as they develop online and in Tuesday's News Sentinel.
