that is awesome.

:cry:Yall stop talking bad about Tennessee's native son who invented the Internet.

So I should just do what every sign say, just because?

Yes sir, I think we all benefit from a good debate. I think there is a lot of bad information going around, and shame on everyone (restaurant owners and HCP holders) for not learning the correct laws. I will add that if I ever get "made" carrying at one of these restaurants that has not properly posted, I will comply with their request, inform them that the reason I carried was that they were improperly posted, and I will never visit the establishment again. If they ask "Well what is proper posting", I will say "Its in the TN Code". I am on their property and I will give them the utmost respect. I will offer to them that I am willing to go out to my vehicle, disarm, return finish my meal, pay the tab, and never return, and encourage all my HCP friends to never frequent their establishment, and that their restaurant's name and location will be entered into a database on line for all to see which restaurants ban legal carrying of firearms. I will not inform them of the law, nor tell them how to find it, that is up to them, not me. However, I am very cautious and aware when I carry and don't think this will ever happen. But to each his own.

"Why do you assume they have any knowledge of the fact that there's specific signage to follow?" Why would they not know? Many may wrongly believe that the signs available for sale are all legal. Their ignorance is my gain.

My response is full of sarcasm. Learn to read between the lines. But since you can't let me dumb it down for you. If the onwer/operator makes the choice to remain ignorant to the laws that affect his business, then so mote it be. If it aint legally posted, then I am carrying. Uh yes it is. 39-17-1359. Prohibition at certain meetings — Posting notice. — (a) An individual, corporation, business entity or local, state or federal government entity or agent thereof is authorized to prohibit the possession of weapons by any person otherwise authorized by §§ 39-17-1351 — 39-17-1360, at meetings conducted by, or on property owned, operated, or managed or under the control of the individual, corporation, business entity or government entity. Notice of the prohibition shall be posted. Posted notices shall be displayed in prominent locations, including all entrances primarily used by persons entering the building, portion of the building or buildings where weapon possession is prohibited. If the possession of weapons is also prohibited on the premises of the property as well as within the confines of a building located on the property, the notice shall be posted at all entrances to the premises that are primarily used by persons entering the property. The notice shall be in English but a notice may also be posted in any language used by patrons, customers or persons who frequent the place where weapon possession is prohibited. In addition to the sign, notice may also include the international circle and slash symbolizing the prohibition of the item within the circle. The sign shall be of a size that is plainly visible to the average person entering the building, premises or property and shall contain language substantially similar to the following: PURSUANT TO § 39-17-1359, THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THIS PROPERTY HAS BANNED WEAPONS ON THIS PROPERTY, OR WITHIN THIS BUILDING OR THIS PORTION OF THIS BUILDING. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROHIBITION IS PUNISHABLE AS A CRIMINAL ACT UNDER STATE LAW AND MAY SUBJECT THE VIOLATOR TO A FINE OF NOT MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500). ( Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter, reduce or eliminate any civil or criminal liability that a property owner or manager may have for injuries arising on their property. © Any posted notice being used by a local, state or federal governmental entity on July 1, 2000, that is in substantial compliance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section may continue to be used by the governmental entity. (d) The provisions of this section shall not apply to title 70 regarding wildlife laws, rules and regulations. [Acts 1996, ch. 905, § 11; 2000, ch. 929, § 1.]

The way I see it is: If an owner/manager is smart enough to run their own restaurant, then they are definitely smart enough to know how to research the proper way to post their establishment against HCP holder carrying a firearm into their business. Any posting that is not correct, says to me that the owner/manager understand the sheeple's concerns and the HCP holder's rights, and by displaying an incorrect sign, will set the "soccer mom's" mind at ease, and at the same time legally allow a HCP to continue to carry and spend their money. Keep concealed, don't drink, and keep on rockin in the free world. No bubbles, No troubles.

I received a Whinchester light last year for Christmas that has 2 blue and 2 red bulbs on the end. It is made for tracking a blood trial. It is meant to be used to follow a blood trail in the dark.

Big Cat News: Caracal suspected to roam Tennessee park Caracal suspected to roam Tennessee park "...it's probably someone's 'pet' that has escaped or been released, officials say. Tennessee residents can own a caracal, a type of lynx, or a cougar, but cougars require a special permit and safeguards." *************** Cougarlike beast calls parks home, shocking visitors TWRA officials suspect animal is harmless caracal By ANNE PAINE Staff Writer Thursday, 11/16/06 Two sightings of a large "cat" in the 2,680-acre Warner Parks have officials seeking tracks and other evidence to determine what it is and what should be done. The tawny-colored animal was reported as a cougar, a species that has been known to kill people. One wildlife expert said, however, that it's more likely a caracal, a type of smaller African animal that's the same color and not inclined to harm anyone. Either way, it's probably someone's "pet" that has escaped or been released, officials say. Tennessee residents can own a caracal, a type of lynx, or a cougar, but cougars require a special permit and safeguards. The most recent reported sighting was Nov. 8. Tim Ogle spotted the beast Nov. 2 while bicycling through the park, near the Harpeth Hills golf course. "I came around a corner, and off to the right-hand side of the road, sitting looking off into the brush was a large cat," he said, adding that it was quite a surprise. "As I approached, it got up, and I could clearly see it wasn't a bobcat because it was big and had a tail." Ogle called out — as he would with a deer to shoo it out of the way — and the creature "sauntered off into the woods." When he arrived where the feline had been, he stopped to peer in the direction the cat went. "I looked, and it was looking at me," said the environmental engineer. "I sat there for a minute and said, 'I can see you,' or something stupid like that. Then I decided I should go on down the road." Ogle, who estimated the cat at about 70 pounds, waited a week to tell the park staff. "I felt like a real crackpot," he said, "but I knew what I saw." His sighting took place in the southeastern portion of the park. The Warner Parks had received another report, with the description also similar to a cougar, from another person six days later, said Deb Beazley, park naturalist. In the second case, the large cat had been seen in a field between the park's Nature Center and Ensworth High School. That's on the park's southwestern corner. Beazley called the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to consult. "There are more questions than answers right now," she said Wednesday. "We're hoping there'll be more sightings so we can get some tracks, some real evidence on the animal and go from there." Scat, hair or photos also would work for an identification. But don't worry about any large tracks with claw marks, which probably were made by dogs. Cats retract their claws when they walk. The cat could stick around. The park is loaded with deer, a favorite meal of cougars. And there are plenty of birds — from wild turkeys to bluebirds — that appeal to caracals. Here is what a "Caracal" looks like.

Then what did I describe seeing? I remember a while back (reading this in the paper) a man shooting a large black cat during muzzleloader season in a State Park. I believe it was Chickasaw State Park, but can't be for sure. I try to find it online somewhere. I remeber cutting the article out of the paper.

Looking for me?

Is the Buffalo meat to tough for ya? LOL Sorry I couldn't resist buddy.

What about in the Memphis area.

Yeah. Just google hip-hop, and that sums up what irritates me.

Very Nice. I would like to own either one of them myself.

I have carried a Glock Model 30 everyday for the last 5 years, and I have never had any problems.

People who don't bend their hat's bill. And Long chains.

You are right. The best places I have found for sweet tea is, Mexican Restaurants. Weird.

bears are cool

That is very nice looking David.

I would say the rules only apply for hunting. Sounds like what you are doing falls under defense.
