Oh Shoot

Permit no longer relevant to firearms in the vehicle in TN, ya know. You maybe assuming one projects a better image doing that or whatever? - OS

Not bad in daytime today. Just walked over to bank/Kroger on errands. No wind makes huge diff. - OS

I guess I'm missing something? My mom's house has one of the standard 3 phone touch tone wireless systems with base unit that plugs into standard phone socket. But also an old Bell Princess rotary in one room and a Bell rotary wall model in garage, All work fine from any plug. Now I do believe the 2 dial phones have a "touch/rotary" switch on them at the bottom (I forget the exact designation). So is this the diff, that they are "modern" rotary phones compared to what some of you are talking about? -OS

Nah, no AWB yet. Might be the vehicle for Universal Background checks though, just like 5 years ago, likely with a better chance of getting through the Senate this time if Mitch is told to hear it. Although I believe a separate UBC bill has already come out of the House (or just been announced, I forget which). - OS

Attrition, mi amigo, attrition -- major legal changes take effect as much over time as immediately. Few of our progeny will remain criminals by stashing banned firearms they can't even shoot without risk of the hoosegow, - OS

My point was merely for historical perspective to those who likely don't know this. And yes, of course, it's always a concern. Especially in the next Congress, where there seems a decent likelihood of a Dem sweep of all three branches. Importantly, ever since 2004, there have always been enough purple state Dems in DC to join the Republicans in staving off another AWB. But it's clear that the constituencies have changed for both many Dems AND some Republicans in various states, to the point that a "common sense gun safety" stance isn't necessarily the ballot killer it has been in the past. - OS

AFAIK, she has introduced that every term since the first one expired. The Manchin-Toomey "universal" background check for example was an amendment to her AWB bill of that session, where it would have simply replaced all the other verbiage in the bill. After it failed, then they of course voted to nix her original bill also. - OS

I'll be amazed if we have a Republican prez again for at least 8 years after this fiasco. And maybe not a Republican Triumvirate again for .. ever? The GOP will have to defend a lot more in the Senate in '20 than they did in '18, too, so we may well see the Dem Triple Play for the first time since Obama's first two years. Then again, I remind myself I didn't give DJT a chance in hell to win, eh? - OS

I don't know the real percentage, but it also does seem to be accurate that even among NRA members, the majority agrees with universal BG checks. - OS

Actually, the last bill that almost got there (Manchin-Toomey amendment), made transfer among relatives easier! Including interstate transfer. - OS

Top of my head, Farook and chick in the San Bernardino slayings. - OS

Just Big, Awakenings, and A League of Their Own makes for a lifetime achievement award in my book. - OS

Yeah, I do. Just like one hit wonders in music, in acting there are star struck fluke meetings of perfect role that somehow fits a limited ability. And don't get me started about the Oscars in general. - OS

Tend to agree. If she hadn't been Clint's squeeze for years, doubt if she'd gone anywhere in movies. - OS

Why not simply remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, so that it's use is no longer a federal crime period, and let the states handle the rest of it? - OS

This area is for forum issues only. Ask your question in handgun or general chat forum - OS edit: well, I see Dave found it anyway.

Seems stupid to submit bills toward the end of a Congress. I guess they do it just to have it on their record. - OS

According to the drift on Talking Dead, he's really gone. First causality of the new enemy, the Whisperers. - OS

Yeah, it's an ongoing mystery to me why UTK is generally rated as having the second largest fan base in college football. - OS

Even though I'm an alum, you'd have mixed emotions too if you had my work history with them. - OS

Wow, chance to beat Da Voles 5 out of last seven meets and 3 years in a row for first time since 1926! 17-zip at halftime. - OS edit: my post must have inspired TN, 75 yard TD run on first play of second half.

Only time I met him personally, it was regarding a coon dog my wife found lost up near Chilhowee Mtn. I wound up taking it by Cas' kennels which were on Middlebrook Pike at the time, and damn if Cas himself didn't walk out and damn if he didn't know the dog personally, belonged to one of his store managers or something. - OS

DUI would nuke your permit for a while because it's a Class A Misdemeanor. However, neither a DUI nor losing your permit due to public intoxication would affect your right to own firearms, so neither would prevent you from continuing to carry in your vehicle. It's perhaps noteworthy to mention that an alcohol related conviction will make you flunk the background check in TN for a year if purchasing a new gun. - OS

https://comicbook.com/thewalkingdead/2018/11/15/the-walking-dead-rick-michonne-baby-rj-rick-junior-real/ R.J. Grimes (Antony Azor), the child of Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), is very much real. The official Twitter handle for Skybound’s The Walking Dead noted the child, born during the six-year time jump that followed Rick’s disappearance and assumed death, is authentic and not a figment of a grieving Michonne’s imagination. Rick junior was introduced in episode 906, “Who Are You Now?,” when wary and prowling newcomer Magna (Nadia Hilkes) witnessed a tender moment between Michonne and her son. Despite evidence to the contrary, a subset of fans speculated the child was imaginary and a manifestation of Michonne’s mourning as she has since taken to talking to herself following the “death” of lover Rick. Both Gurira and showrunner Angela Kang previously confirmed R.J. is the tangible younger brother of Michonne’s adopted daughter, Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming).
