Oh Shoot

Point taken, but the statement was "...I spoke with a knowledgeable friend who stated that you can legally hunt hogs (nearly) year round in the park. Just go ask." Certainly the "you" implies " most anyone". But safe to say that if you or I go "ask", we ain't gonna be a poppin' at no pigs in the park. - OS

Ah, okay, we're all equal, 'cept for those who are more equal, gotcha. Always been the case, nothing new there I guess. - OS

(re welfare cellphone) I've received two or three mailings with application for the freebie cellphone/service. Have numerous rent assisted tenants in complex, so I guess they target the mailings as per that. That or everyone getting SS? - OS

Bear in mind though, that 39-17-1352 says that HCP will be suspended or revoked for violation. An additional "gotcha" that has not been tested yet to anyone's knowledge. The "$500 only" wording could easily be interpreted as in there only to prevent any jail time, not also losing HCP. - OS

Nah, he gets reelected no matter what. Except for the UT area, where few actually vote, his district comprises most of the poorest areas around here (so he thinks only criminals should have guns). And he's black, which garners at least 50% right off the bat. - OS

Joe Armstrong, my rep. Figgers. Totally anti-gun in every respect, too. - OS

Doesn't even mean anything extra to criminals, as I understand it. - OS

Every roll call vote I've ever sat through, state or Congress, was done alphabetically (by person's last name). - OS

Put a MOLLE holster on your pack one way or another even if pack doesn't have PALS, where you can reach it while strapped up. You can get 'em cheap, too. - OS

I call total horse pucky on your "knowledgeable" friend. There is no hunting by regular citizens in GSMNP, for anything, ever. - OS

Yeah, Singh is better. (the MOST common Indian name) - OS

Myth. Patel is simply the second most common Indian name. Like Smith or Jones. It's just that Indians own about 50% of US motels/hotels, and a third of them are named Patel. - OS

And that was a significantly stronger bill than whatever compromise that's going to actually get enacted. - OS

Creative bookkeeping will make a Balanced Budget Amendment adhered to about as strictly as the Second Amendment. - OS

Bill doesn't "cut" any money from overall federal budget, nor even keep it at same level. We'll still spend and borrow more every year. We'll "save" 3 trillion over 10 years by only going into debt for 7 trillion more over same period. Gawd knows that makes me feel better. I don't think we'll have to wait 10 years to see the "payoff". - OS

I have found that with Firefox, it makes a diff WHERE you login. Try doing it from tngunowners.com/forums (and check "remember me") rather than from the base URL of simply tngunowners.com And then always re-enter at tngunowners.com/forums - OS

Federal law (Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986) allows you to take one's own firearms from any place they are legal to possess to any other place they are legal to posses. No worries there, long as they are unloaded and any ammo is well separated (best even locked up in container). - OS

Legally, inherited guns do not need to be transferred through an FFL. Shipping can be problematic, but long guns may be shipped via USPS, UPS Ground, and Fedex Ground, and federal law says that guns NOT going to a license holder must be declared to the shipper, so in practicality, you may find that they must be sent to FFL. If that turns out to be the only option, you definitely need to find one that will either just charge you a fee for handling the shipment, or if they insist on actually doing 4473 transfer, one that will do them all for one fee rather than charge for each. Perhaps a notarized document of some sort could let an FFL not do 4473 but simply charge for handling the shipment? I dunno, ask around. You might also look into having them sent by a moving company, all in one or two crates; last time I did cursory look into this, long guns are okay, but you'll need to insure them for all they are worth, of course. - OS

Used to deliver at the Grand a lot. Nice enough lobby and convention hall. Never seen a room, sounds like I wouldn't want to. - OS

Are they indeed correct as to size and wording? (parks statute is very specific about the signage). If not, since you've already gone this route, maybe you can sting him again. - OS

Strel manages to (slightly) rise from the ash heap of TGO history! - OS
