Cruise is a known anti. I will not add to his bank account either. Yep he is anti gun to the public when asked but you can bet he owns more than a few guns I would guess. Also he is a person that uses something he is suppose to be against which is guns to make millions off in his movies. I won't be contributing a dime to his pocket................jmho

Just my Humble opinion I don't think it will pass because of all the money being made by the state on permit purchases and renewals. I don't think the Governor would sign it if it did make it to his desk......JMHO

I quite watching Cruise movies also so won't be watching it either.............jmho

That is making me want some and I just happen to have some of a deer 10-ring was nice enough to give me last year. Might have to try that receipt out.................

5 boxes of Super X 12 gauge 3 inch magnum in BB loads...........

I read a lot about different trigger pulls on many of these smaller semi's and I have often wondered something. We all carry a firearm for protection of ourselves and family or others. The way I look at this is "IF" and I mean "IF" anyone one here ever hand to actually use the gun mentioned here or the LCP 380's or S&W Bodyguards or any guns of this design and we actually did have to fire the weapon at what level would your adrenalin be pumping and do you actually feeling you would not pull the trigger so fast that the long trigger pull would have any effect on you discharging the weapon. I carry a select number of Bersa Semi autos which are designed to fire in a single action / double action operation. If the Bersa hammer is cocked and locked when safety is released it is automatic. If the hammer is unloaded and I have to do a long trigger pull for first round and I knew I was going to be forced to fire my weapon I honestly believe my first round would leave the gun in a split second even on a long trigger pull but that is just my humble opinion. Would like to hear other thoughts on this.

Ya'll will probably get a smile out of this but I own a Phoenix HP22A semi auto and I love it. I liked it so much when my daughter wanted a gun to plink with around their house in the yard I loaned her that and had to buy another cause she didn't want to give it back. So far she had managed to kill 3 opposums that kept getting it the trash and a few chicken snakes because they have chickens and shot at 1 Fox that was trying to get in the hen house and not sure if she hit it or not but it yelped and ran off and has not been back. I know some folks don't like them because of the safety factors of having what some say is to many. I have learned how to work around that. They hold 10 rounds in magazine and one in the tube. They will shoot about any brand ammo with no issues. Last one I bought I gave about $139.00 for and came with 1 extra magazine. Took it to the range when I first got it and was very surprised at how accurate the little gun is. I throw it in my pocket for quick trips to the store or when I walk to the mail box of just walking around the yard. Never use to do that but in last year several folks around my neighborhood have been robbed at knife point while cutting their yards and one guy was robbed while grilling out about a block from my house. If I am going to be robbed by a guy with a knife he will still be here when the police arrive. Bleeding or not will be up to him but he will be here.

Very sorry to hear about your loss Joe and prayers go out to you both..........................

Thanks Raoul. I have been thinking about taking Daughter and Tommy (son in law) up on an invite this season. Like you said, time waits for no one. It will do one or two things by going. It will get me passed what I have held back for 20 years or confirm that I just won't get back on the football horse again...................

Thank you all for those kind words. I have been wanting to talk about that part of my life for sometime. I just never found the right time or way to do it until I read this thread and I knew this was my opportunity to. I guess some folks might call it vent but to me it is more of a relief to talk about it. I know about every one here can probably share a similar part of their lives. You just have to have that spark that opens the door and this was my spark.........Again thank all of you for your kind words. I still miss her 20 years later like it was yesterday!

I use to be a football freak and my wife was worse than I was. We seldom ever missed a Ttans game or Vols game. Wife had house decorated in football stuff everywhere. When I lost here to a heartattack I lost my love of football also. I will only watch a game now if there is absolutely nothing else on TV worth watching. I tried to get back into it about a year after she passed and it was just not the same. I was glad I got to make one of her biggest dreams come true just before losing her. She had always said that before she died she wanted to actually go to a Vols game. I knew a buddy of mine that had season tickets every year and great seats and he also owns a Charlet in Gatlinberg. He let me use the Charlet for a weekend and his season passes. I told my wife that wednesday before the game that we were going to Gatlinburg for the weekend as she loved it up there. She got all excited and of course packed all her Tennessee Vols outfits to wear in Gatlinburg. We arrived in the Charlet on Frday night. Great view and hot tub on the deck. Spent the evening relaxing in the tub. I woke erly so I could sevrve her breakfast in Bed. On her breakfast tray under her napkins were the two passes. I was down stairs when I heard the screams and she came running down the stairs and wrapped her self around me. It was the opening game of 1997 season and the first season after they had enlarged the Stadium. I can't even remember who Tennesse was playing that night but they killed the opposing team. I cannot believe all the stuff she bought at the stadium but I know my credit card took a heck of a hit and it about filled the trunk of the car. Now with that said I lost her suddenly to a heart attack in October 1997 just about a month after the Tennessee Game and I would give all I own to have her back but to this day I will never forget that one dream i made come true for her. Like I said I have tried to get back into the game but does not work. Her daughter and my Son In law are about like she was about the Vols so I gave her all the stuff her mother had decorating the house and now their house is decorated all up. They have invited me to come and watch some games with them. I did manage a few back years ago. They don't ask anymore mostly because they know I won't come but I know I am always welcome should I decide to go..............Sorry for the long post but have been needing to talk about this for sometime and this thread seemed like a place I could do it.....................

I have always believed that it was Country & Western music and over the years I have not listened to any where near what I did when I was 16. Country Music is like everything else. It got old. Not the music but the performers. I bet you can count all of the original Country performers of the old music on two hands that are still alive and I don't believe maybe one or two of them have performed in many years. The younger generation like this new type of Country just like us old geezers enjoyed the days of Roy Acuff, George Jones and Merle Haggard. I don't find anything wrong with that. It's like I said earler Our Country Music just got older but if you still have any of their music on tapes, records or DVD's. They are still very much alive in our hearts........jmho

"QUOTE" Sure it’s possible but with the recent SCOTUS rulings, unlikely. It's unlikely at present time but if Hildebeast gets elected and begins appointing Supreme Court Justices how much longer will the original decisions hold up might be a question to think about..........................jmho

I defiantely have to see this movie. I hope they have it on DVD at Amazon. I will order it for sure..............

Glad to see you mentioned Tourism as a type of employment. All I see Barry talking about now is bringing more Professional Sports teams to Nashville. She is trying to replace Country Music with Sports arena's. We have Pro Hockey, Pro Football a double AA Baseball team and she wants to add Pro Soccer to the list. All of those jobs will be tourist related which will mean more tourism dollars coming to Nashville and more low paying tourism jobs. She needs to be focusing on industry jobs that will have good pay......................jmho

Thanks for your service and enjoy your retirement. The only thing I would recomend 1 thing it would be find a hobby that you really enjoy doing. I thought retirement would be a hoot and it was in the beginning but after a while I began fishing a lot because I enjoyed and it gave me something to do with all of the down time you realize you have all at once.................

It's just the same ole story! if you can't beat your competition buy them. I have always prefered Cabela's over BPS. I don't know exactly when they built this one in Nashville but I do know how many times I have been in it. 2 and both times I was riding with someone else and they just decided to stop while we were out................

I use to use one of those and I went and bought a single burner propane heater head for a grill tank at TSC and it heats alot better and cost half as much to use. I quit buying kerosene when it reached $3.50 a gallon.

The law enforcement community has been pointing out that every major city that is run by a democratic mayor is having these same issues so it is nothing new. The only thing new about Nashville is more and more folks moving from other democratic major cities and states like New York, Michigan. and other northen states are voting these democrats like Barry into office trying to create the same situation they moved away from.................jmho.

It turns out there were several reasons the man should not have even posessed a weapon. He was according to his with suffering a mental condition, He was a felon that spent time in Texas prison for shooting someone there. He was using illegal drugs at the time. He refused to follow direct orders from law enforcemnt officers. If I had all that going against me and I did what he did and me being white I would have expected them to shoot me too..............jmho

Stupid people giving it hand outs is probably why it is still hanging around in such a populated area. No food and it would find it's way back into the woods where it belongs. I have a couple friends that had a bear hanging around their homes and they decided to send it back into the woods. Every time is showed up at one of their homes they sent it packing with a string of fire crackers. After about a week it was gone, never came back. Black bears for the most part spook fairly easily compared to brown bears.

I'm just glad he didn't get to use it before he got stopped. It is a shame to see a Mustang in that poor shape. They are a fine 380 weapon..........................jmho

At this point I honestly don't think that the rioters that come from outside the shooting area really care about facts. They come there to cause trouble and facts don't count. This will continue as long as it is tolerated by the people with the power to stop it step up and say enough is enough and begin arresting the trouble makers as soon as they arrive..........jmho

I guess we will know if they ever catch him huh?..............................
