  1. I can only dream!
  2. Actually, I was one of those that was utterly disgusted by the crimes committed by the gang of thugs. I have followed this crime more than most people I happen to personally know. I thought Cobbins deserved the death penalty and had I been on the jury, I would have voted for his death. Does that make you feel a bit better about me? Not that it really matters. I took the article for it's face value and had no problem with Mr. McElroy's article. Sorry if that offended you. Again personally, I really don't care. Mr. McElroy expressed the opinion that blacks and whites came together and found a thug guilty and punished him from the among the options presented to them by the letter of the law. Again, I don't agree with the punishment, but this jury did what it was asked to do. Everyone in that court did their jobs, including a white defense attorney and a black district attorney. Something that would have never happened in this city 50 years ago. I believe that to be the point Mr. McElroy was making. So I'm really trying hard to understand how that was bad. As far as this being a hate crime, the State of Tennessee does not recognize Hate Crimes. Gary Christian pointed that out this morning on the Hallerin Hill Show. Neither does the Federal Government, though Eric Holder, our illustrous Attorney General is pushing for such legislation. Let's be real careful about what we wish for. Since the State does not recognize Hate Crimes, then it's sort of hard to prosecute someone for such a thing. Mr.McElroy also pointed out in his editoral that whites were involved with this crime, yet no charges have been filed. I personally would love to know why this hasn't happened yet, since one of them apparently helped these monsters escape. I also would personally like to see Mr. Boyd brought back to Knoxville to stand trial for the crimes he hasn't been charged with as well. I'd love to know what that hasn't happened yet as well. Having gone back and re-read the editorial for the third time, I'm also having a hard time where anyone was was apologizing for Cobbin's background. Mr. McElroy sure didn't bring it up. I see no purpose in some sort of witch hunt against those that don't BLINDLY FOLLOW my political views, therefore I don't castigate everyone that expresses a viewpoint different from my own. I fought in a war 18 years ago for this country, just so men like you and Mr. McElroy could espouse your points of view, even when I don't agree with them, and I'd gladly do it again. Just so happens I agree with Mr. McElroy on this particular article based on it's face value. That doesn't make me a "Liberal" or an Idiot with his head in the sand. In point of fact, I'm a FIRM believer in ALL the words written in our great Constitution and will continue to defended till I take my last breath. Again sorry to offend you, well not really, since you seemed to have no problem attacking me in your little diatribe. But I think you figured that out already. Have a nice night!
  3. Yeah, Colt still makes them. Of course they are so dang expensive, most people don't want to shoot them!
  4. I didn't quite see the "evil" intent of this article. I think the jest of it was the races came together to render a guilty verdict and a sentence. The writer did point out that there were whites involved on the periphery. That was the reason it probably wasn't treated as a hate crime. He also pointed out that a white lawyer defended the black defendent and a Black Lawyer was the prosecutor. Again pointing out the fact that race wasn't the big bugaboo factor the KKK tried to make it out to be two years ago. I didn't see the article as either conservative or liberal in nature. It was simply an article about how races came together to pass judgement.
  5. SO TRUE!!!
  6. GO VOLS! JEEZ! Who let all the Alabama fans out of the closet? Ya'll are going to be cryin' in a couple more years. Saban is going to leave sometime! Probably go to Florida when Urban takes off for South Bend!
  7. Nice pistol! You love it!!!
  8. In my mind, nothing. If you are worried about liability issues, then you should stick to base models. If your worried about survival, then get what you are the most comfortable with. Personally, my comfort level is quite low, as is my wallet. I'm very comfortable with my Colt Agent .38 if I feel the need to carry. If I feel I need something bigger for where I am going, I don't really need to be there.

    Fantastic trade!!!
  10. If your looking to kill lots of zombies or for HD then the Saiga is the way to go. If your looking to hunt or shoot clays, you might want to look at the Berretta Statesman available in the classifieds.

    I like a Ruger as well. If you are looking for a cheap revolver, someone has a H&R 929 for sale in the classifieds that is a dandy! First pistol I ever shot was a 929 just like that one. Simple, reliable and accurate. It's a 9 shot too.
  13. Man I need to pick one of these up too, before they are all gone. I understand the M44s are already getting hard to find.
  14. In Montana. That's a state out west bordering Canada.
  15. There is a CZ P01 for sale in the Classifieds. Nice looking Pistol!
  16. KNOXVILLE!!!
  17. This website is starting to get a bit freaky. First the "I'm So Gay" Thread on General Discussion and now a drunk naked person at one of our shoots.
  18. There are?
  19. Thanks for straightenin me out! I stand corrected. Actually, I have some .38 S&W and your right it won't fit.
  20. I was looking for distance, but fireball is a +!
  21. Ok, which is better, the 91/30 or the M44?
  22. I've had both the Mossy 590 and the Remington 870 Field Master with the barrel cut back to 18.5. The Remy has a smoother action. The 590 is the beast though!
  23. If it were me, I'd try to find an old barrel for cheap or nothing and cut it down with a hack saw. Take a little fine grit sand paper to the cut and voila! 18.5" open choke barrel! 18.5" are expensive!
  24. If I could only have one, I'd pick... oh my, this is tough... Ok, let's assume this is a TEOTWAWKI event. I'd have to go with the Model 66. For two reasons. 1. There are no mags to be lost, which would make the 1911 in effect, a single shot pistol. 2. The Model 66 will fire two different calibers, .38 Spl and .357. Actually, it will shoot three, now that I think about it. It will also shot .38 S&W which is not the same as the .38 spl. That being said, I sure would miss the old 1911 and I would feel just as well armed with it.
  25. Wonder if we out to petition Joe and David to invite her to the Midsouth Guns and Gear Expo? My vote would be HELL YES!
