  1. That ain't gonna happen Garufa. Ups and Fedex like all the money they make shipping guns and all the hazmat fee's they collect on powder and primers. I have been thinking of contacting the CEO with Dollar General and tell him that the market is ready to go for them to sell ammo and maybe guns too. They would need bigger buildings and a full-time employee at the gun counter. That would serve Wally World for getting out of the business. Plus having the headquarters in Goodlettsville would be even better.
  2. I used to be a fairly avid Nascar fan, back when Bill Elliot and Dale Sr. were bumping and running for the checkered flag. Back before every dadgummed thing was political like Garufa said. Most folks would need a 2nd job to buy tickets to a race, it has evolved into a white collar sport from it's infancy as a blue collar sport. Kind of like restrictor plates, it is like being on I-40 with all the cars on cruise control, about like watching paint dry. If I lived within 1 mile of Bristol or Talladega I wouldn't go to a race with free tickets. Same goes for the NFL, NBA, MLB, sort of comforting they all have 3 letters huh?? I would rather go see a dirt track race, or 12 year old baseball players any day. Nascar can shut the doors, on most track they could build a nice fishing hole with a little bit of imagination and some structure added.
  3. Yea Doug, our pastor told us last night of lots of teachers teaching the kids what went on that day. We had a special prayer meeting just for the families of all the victims in planes, fire fighters, police, EMT, port authority, those in the towers etc. And it is true that more people have died since 9-11-01 because of all the toxic dust they breathed. There could be close to 100,000 before it is said and done. My son and daughter-in-law were married 9-11-99 and said many times wished it had been on another day. If it had been left to me the pictures of those planes going into the towers and that cloud of dust would be played on every network at 6a.m., 6 p.m. and midnight so that nobody would ever forget. This isn't like Hillary's "what difference does it make" statement. It does matter. Did anyone hear that the New York Times posted that 9-11 was due to planes flying into the towers. Never mentioned that a bunch of terrorist's were at the wheel. Unbelievable!! But at this point and time, nothing surprises me anymore. And speaking of Hillary, when is she going to jail???????
  4. My pastor is 68 and doesn't wear glasses. I asked him if he wore contacts or had Lasik surgery and he said nope. To the OP, I barely remember 45. It happened so long ago. LOL
  5. Do each of you remember where you were and what you were thinking when you heard about the first plane that struck the twin towers? Let us all pray that something like this never happens again on U.S. soil.
  6. I need to apologize to Chattanooga, I hurriedly read this and somehow pictured Memphis in my mind. Please accept my apology.
  7. However what did the leaders do first? Gun control. You control the guns and ammo, you control the people. An axe, shovel, hoe don't stand much of a chance against a Luger or Mauser. People also went along with it because if they didn't they might find themselves in a concentration camp or dead, or both.
  8. Stay far away if possible!!
  9. Sounds like a bunch of guilty people to me. I don't care who looks at my profile, I got nuttin to hide. Sounds like recently retired Dave has way too much time on his hands to check on his profile page. LOL
  10. Kalifornia, the land of fruits & nuts. Nothing from the left coast surprises me. My pastor said this about 2 or 3 weeks ago. " This country is more divided than it was during the Civil War."
  11. I wonder if you could order stuff to be picked up at wallys and not pick it up, haven't ever done that. Do you have to pre pay for it? If not order a bunch of different items that would require people from all over the store to pull the items and then don't go pick them up. If they ask, tell them why, was wanting to buy about $500 in ammo, but your CEO decided not to sell it.
  12. What I read on fox news was they asked customers to no longer openly carry. I would that is if I ever again entered a walmart. One of these days these companies will get the picture that we really don't need them. Stop and think about it just a moment, can you buy your food, clothes, sporting goods, ammo, tires at any other place than wally world? Then go to that store and first ask the manager if he concurs with wally world, if he says yes turn around and find another store. In the past my family has spent a few thousand, don't want to think how many thousands, but no more. I can get ammo shipped to my door and never have to drive to a wally world, I can get most anything but food shipped to my door. I sort of like to fondle what I am planning to eat. So I am asking you all to join me and boycott all walmarts!!! We can survive without them, can they???
  13. So basically if anyone knows you have firearms and they want to cause you lots of misery and money all they need do is call 911. My neighbor Bob pointed a gun at my child, or he threatened to shoot my dog because he doesn't like poodles, or any of 1,000,000 other crappy lies to get poor ole Bob thrown in the pokey and his nice collection of guns confiscated. Sounds a whole lot like some crazy nutcase named Hitler, Stalin to name but a few. Rule # 1 live in the country, way out in the country where your neighbor can just barely hear you shoot a gun, Rule # 2 have a big steel gate and a lot of not so nice German Shepherds and a clear view of the gate at about 600 yds. Put up a sign, turn around and leave or I have to fire up the backhoe, Again!!
  14. And if one can't be rehabilitated don't put them in prison where we have to feed and house them, eliminate the threat. And not by a $40,000 lethal injection, just hang em.
  15. Exactly criminals don't abide by laws no matter how many hundreds or thousands of them are passed. They only harm or impede the lawful citizen that wants to buy a gun to give his grandson or buy one to shoot sporting clays. This all started about 50-75 years ago. Parents quit disciplining their children, the Bible says if you love your children you will discipline them. Proverbs 13:24. It is all about not loving, it all boils down to a heart problem.
  16. I don't know it anyone saw this, but I saw the news that Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted this comment: In the past 48hrs the U.S. horrifically lost 34 people due to mass shootings. He then commented that on any given 48 hour period in the U.S. 500 die due to medical errors 300 die due to flu 250 die due to suicide 200 die due to car accidents 40 die due to homicide with handgun Sort of puts things into perspective. This in no way condones what the "idiots" that murdered these innocent people did, it just shows that on most any given 48hrs. in the U.S. about 1,240 people die not related to a gun, 40 due to a gun. Now I for some reason don't hear the left or right complaining about these 1,240 people and how we need to police our medical errors, find cure for flu, give people mental health help so they won't kill themselves. Do something about these car accidents. All of these deaths with the exception of the flu, is due to humans, either there incompetence, lack of training, poor attitude, or a host of other issues, but it is the human. Not the car, not the medical procedure. There is a definite pattern. Not the gun.
  17. You didn't know you were so rich until you started packing up huh? It is amazing at the amount of "stuff" we can accumulate. And some of it is actually useful. Welcome
  18. It seems to be always the weapon be it a gun, knife or vehicle. There is a human body with a finger, hand, foot and part of a brain that does the ASSAULT. The brain is the ASSAULT weapon, not the tool. Which a firearm, hammer, knife or vehicle can be used as a tool. The liberal left won't be happy until all citizens are helpless victims because they won't have any tools to defend themselves. But I bet you all the money you could stuff into Fort Knox that the liberal left will still have walls around their compounds and their personal bodyguards will have all those EVIL black rifles and other assorted weapons. Put the blame where blame belongs and it danged sure isn't at the feet of the law abiding gun owners. Rant ended for now.
  19. Exactly why I don't have an NRA or any other gun sticker on my truck. Anyone can call 911 and say a guy in red chevy tag# just pointed a pistol at me. Most folks with NRA sticker probably has a pistol in truck. Cop stops you and you have pistol. Lawyer fees may be least of your worries.
  20. Thanks will go try it out, need more real practice.
  21. Hi I have been trying to find a good place to shoot closer to Livingston, but having a hard time. I see they have a BUG match 2nd Saturday. Has anybody shot this match. Thanks, Mac

    Quilts

    My wife's mother and grandma both quilted. Her grandma evidently was pretty forgetful, they pin with straight pins the batting or whatever prior to stitching and I have had a pin stuck deeply in a foot when getting into bed a few times. That totally wakes you up!! The pins are in between the layers so you have to find a way to pull them out. Ouch!! brings back memories.
  23. The reason we shoot deer in the wild, Pita wouldn't allow us to shoot the tame deer that aren't wild.
  24. I recall laying in front of the T.V. and I have the sound recorded on a reel to reel tape deck. For our younger members that pre dates 4 track tapes, 8 track tapes, casettes,cd's bluetooth,etc. LOL
  25. That ain't nothin, gas jumped $.20/gal in 3 hours at Speedway in Cookeville 7-2-19. As for the levee's they shouldn't be needed because anyone with half a brain wouldn't have built a city on cotton bales in the middle of the danged swamp, several feet below sea level. DUH!!! Marquis De LaFayette didn't listen to his engineer.
