  1. I live a good 30 minutes from Walmart, and while I can;t buy everything I want ammo wise when I go now, at least I know I have a better chance of there being ammo on the shelf after I make the drive, even if I can only get one box. I work a full time job, with rough hours, and most other people here do alos, so its kinda hard to wait around all week on the delivery truck to buy the entire stock.
  2. Consdering thats a pistol and 3 mags the price ain't bad from what I've seen on gunbroker.

    Be That Guy

    Anybody know what the golden book between his hand and the bible was?
  4. Everything in my place is loaded with a round in the chamber. An empty gun is just a crappy club
  5. I bought a pistol and started looking for Tennessee carry laws on google Then boom, there it was.
  6. Depends on the bullet. It might stop a slow moving hollow point. I wouldnt bet my life on it stopping anything though.
  7. No way I could carry a bag everyday, it would get old fast and I would stop carrying it. Now I do have a get home kit in the trunk, and a bug out bag at home. My everyday carry is a couple pens, wallet, pocket knife, fixed blade knife. All pocket carry
  8. I have an older Marlin 336 in 35 rem and it is my go to gun for the woods. Fairly light, its a capable round and not all that hard to find.
  9. I don't know about a stealth hawk, but Ive seen Pave Hawks when I was in the USMC, and I'd put my money on that being what they were in. You never saw these working with SOAR. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_HH-60_Pave_Hawk
  10. I can check the oil filters at my wifes work, I know the parts guys there, its a Nissan dealer. I just need a thread pitch for the adapter
  11. Depending on thread pattern, you could get one of the small import filters that would still allow use of the sights.
  12. I was at Gander Mountain today with my parents before work and they had a decent supply of ammo in, even had some .22 lr on the shelf still. Also found ammo, and 2 different AR-15's at ACE hardware in Oliver Springs. Once AR was $1350, the other was $2700, I'll post the other details in a bit, they were being sold on consigment, just in case anyone is looking.   #1 AR was a Del-ton DTI 15, it was $1350   #2 AR was a Windham Weaponry, with 2 30 rd mags and 100 rds of ammo for $2700
  13. While I doubt its going anywhere, it does make me smile. Consider the $500 fee a luxury tax for choosing not to defend yourself, therefore costing the taxpayers more money in the event of a crime. I don't agree with forcing anyone to buy anything, but then again, they do force gun owners to purchase carry permits in most states.
  14. Hey guys, Ive been giving serious though to having my 1911 polished out and hot blued soon, after doing a tune up, and replacing a few things. Does anyone know any shops local that do this? I wanna get the barrel bead blasted/polished to give it some contrast, along with keeping the soon to be hammer and trigger silver. Does anyone know a place here that does a good polish and hot blue service? This is the finish I'm after, and I know it'll cost to get that attention to detail, because have a blued gun that slick means lots of prep work. Let me know if you know somebody local who can do it
  15. While I think getting it out quickly and in control is the most important aspect, its a good idea to be able to holster without looking if your ever in a situation, because it allows you to keep your eyes on whats going on around you rather than looking the gun into the holster.
  16. If a pane on my dorr had been broken, and he was still fighting to get in after weapons presentation and a verbal warning, there wouldn't have been a warning shot. He would have gotten shot. As was mentioned earlier, it sounds like someone didn't have the mindset to actually use the weapon for self defense.
  17.   No, it is still "your".  My point is that your letter will garner more attention, and a more favorable response if it sounds like you have more than a third grade education. I couldn't care less about grammar and spelling on a forum, but if I am going to send something to an elected official that I want to be taken seriously, I would type it in word and use the free grammar and spelling checks. Its not perfect, but it helps. Also, putting several periods in between sentences doesn't make it sound more serious, it makes it read like a teenager writing a text message to their friends. I understand your sentiment, I'm just saying that it would come across a lot better if it was more grammatically correct, and easier to read with less run on sentences and more proper punctuation. Just my :2cents:
  18. You want my opinion? Not to be a grammar nazi, but your spelling, grammar and punctuation suck if that's an exact copy of what you sent. I learned long ago that if you wanna be taken serious then any written letters need to be as formal and well edited as possible. I get where your going with your letter, and I do agree with you, just saying it would have a better chance of getting a response if it was written a little better.
  19. I thought I'd see who may be interested in this area for a once a month morning get together for a friendly, small group discussion on current topics like Davids get together in Nashville. Just like Davids thread for one in Nashville, reply here or pm, and we will get a date, time, and place setup. Me personally I would prefer not to have someone show up in full tacticool mode open carrying in a thigh holster. So please lets make this a discrete, friendly get together. If anyone has suggestions for a meet place lets here it. I would vote for Shoneys in Oak Ridge, but thats lopsided in my direction, and I don't know enough about Knoxville to suggest anywhere else.
  20. GOt a link? I thought prices were coming down, thats insane. Not that it matters, they lost my business with their price gouging last election
  21. #1 M16A4 just like I carried in the USMC #2 Suppressor for everything I own and ever buy again. #3 Sawed off double barrel pistol, 10" barrels, pistol gripped #4 Ma Deuce .50 cal   Of course I'd have to be able to afford those things also, but since we are dreaming.................
  22. Well looks like I'm building Jaxjohn a Kukri. Cool, thanks for participating everyone. Keep your eyes open for more giveaways
  23. I would say a 300 blkout but you don't want an AR. Maybe an FNAR .308?
  24. I havent heard anything about it in this area, so I guess I'm gonna miss the most of it

    Sexy shape

    They are nice, but I still think the 1911 has the sexiest lines of any handgun ever built.
