I heard about these new laws in news last evening and a lot of it during the discussions in the news was based around a particular case in question as the prime example that makes these laws needed. This particular case was mentioned several times by the news network during the report.   https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=www.cnn.com%2F2015%2F11%2F25%2Fus%2Ftennessee-girl-killed-over-puppy%2F

I am to dumbfounded to comment on that magnificent piece of equipment other than I would bet ammo would not be an issue because all the enemy would be filling their pants, wetting their pants and trying to become invisible to it. Not to say they would be to scare of it's appearance to stay and fight but.............. :bowrofl:  :bowrofl:  

I got to watch that machine in action on History Channel back in early 2002. It was kind of depressing to watch it in action........jmho

I am still stuck on the bayonet topic. Is anyone going to get close enough to a shooter of a Barrett that the shooter would need an 18 inch blade sticking out of the lower end on the barrel? ............just a humble question?

I don't know about Montgomery County but in Cheatham County my Grandson is a jailer and when he is not working at the jail he is packing his Glock and his identification including his real badge and has the same arrest authority as any other deputy on the force....... :popcorn: 

I would make this same suggestion to the city of Chicago but I think if the police did any real research they would probably find out that 97% of all the houses up there already have guns in them. I think that is why most shootings up there take place in parks and streets. Kicking a door in up there for home invasion probably would not be a safe thing to do.............jmho

I hope we see more and more of this type of thought spreading across the country. I see nothing negative about it. I like most don't think I would make it mandatory but I would damn sure make it as option for those employees that do choose to carry and be armed as long as they have the proper training and common sense................jmho 

Does Mike still own and operate Gorilla Muffler and Exhaust on Nolensville Road?

I know Bobby's family are not the vindictive type but I do hope they pursue this and have the POS charged with something for sure....jmho

I heard on the news a while ago that Bobby was being moved to a Hospice facility which more or less means the doctors have given up on him. I can say this for sure Bobby is and always will be 1000 times more of a man than that POS that attacked him is or ever will be.   Bobby and his family will be in my PRAYERS

Glad you got a helper for sure and he does look like he will work out well for you. He is a beautiful dog for sure.................. :up: :up:

I'm waiting till Super Tuesday because in all reality I am still very undecided on who to vote for. I don't know that right now any one of them is going to beat Trump. I don't really want Trump to win because he is to radical in to many areas but according to most polls every time he goes radical his numbers grow. Is that really what the American people want as a President is a radical in the White House? (A loose cannon so to say) I also fear that if Cruz gets it that if a challenge is made by Democrats as to his eligibility and it's gets into the courts with a  4-4 with Scalia gone can Cruz get disqualified? So many factors I just don't know!!!.......... :wall: :wall:

I also knew the victim in this as I use to live in Kingston Springs for many years and son still does. I wish him the best and hope he is able to come back from the stroke but his age is going to be against him I'm afraid. I keep my Jeep doors locked while I am in it driving. I also have a Bersa in a holster beside my seat. It goes there when I get in the jeep and goes in my wear holster when I get out. God Have mercy on any bad guy that tries to open my door because I will have none for them................... :cool: 

I agree , it was a racing wreck. Rubbing is racing and if you ain't rubbing you ain't racing..........jmho

When Dale Earnhardt died a piece of NASCAR died. My son was a Earnhardt nut and he spent 4 grand on a Dale Earnhardt  Mac Tool Box and keeps it covered in a corner of the shop all covered up with a Dale Earhart logo on the cover. He bought the box 3 years before Dales death and about a year after Dale died he had a guy offer him 8 Grand for it and he called me and ask me if I thought he should sell it and I said it's not eating anything and it can only go up in value as long as Dale Junior is still racing and keeping the name in front of fans.   I told him when the offers went 10 grand or more sell it cash only. I also told him to add that box value to the Shop Keepers Insurance policy as a collectors Item and he insured it for $10,000.00.   Now as far as NASCAR to this day and will be a fan till the day I die. I spent 14 years racing at Nashville Speedway, Smyrna Speedway and Highland Rim and once in a while in Birmingham. I still have the feel of Burnt Rubber and hot gear oil in my veins Most all my friends are Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt, Legano Fans. My driver has been Rowdy Kyle Busch ever since the first time I saw him drive and I knew he would be a champion one day but didn't expect it to be last year after his injury at Daytona. When NASCAR offered him that deal that he could still race his way in and he won his first race back and it was a road course with all that shifting with those sore legs I knew right then he was going for the gld and he brought the gold home.   Now as far as cookie cutter cars that's all the Auto manufacturers are giving them to work with. It's not NASCAR, it's the lack of skill in the designing at the Auto Makers. I was a mechanic for almost 35 years and I could tell you what make and model a car was from 1/4 mile away back years ago. Today, unless I', parked next to it and can read the name on it I have no clue what it is. I listen to police everyday say that the bad guy got a way in a black car, possibly a Chevy Malibu, or Toyota Camry but it might have been a Honda Accord. They cannot tell them apart any more either.   Like I said I will be a die hard fan till they are shoveling dirt in my face and Kyle and maybe even Kurt will be my two drivers. They both drive like a Young Dale Sr. did that earned him the name "The Intimidator"  Kyle was not afraid to use his bumper from time to time on slower cars after he would bump them a few times letting them know he was faster.     Now that is one place that NASCAR has hurt the sport. It use to be "Rubbing was racing!" Now if you rub a little to much your parked for a few weeks. To me that's a crock...........................jmho

 I hate people that will drop a dog or puppy at the dump. Back years ago every trip we made to the dump down in Cheatham County we would bring back one or two and make a trip the humane society on Monday and make a donation so they would find them a home. My oldest son brought a little female puppy home when he was 7 that he found hanging around a dumpster near a Mapco Market and asked if he and his little brother could keep it. I could tell he was sure I would say no and he almost had tears in his eyes so I said yea but your responsible for her care. Wife about had a fit but I said boys need to have a dog and they are old enough now. I had her spayed and got her all of her shots with local vet. She had a touch of the mange and vet gave us some shampoo that cleared it up pretty quick.

Maybe they were plan clothe police officers on a stake out too. If they were actually state workers I think they would have been missed by superiors or like a few mentioned, they do have phones and radio's to call for assistance if were really broke down.............jmho

Yea  well, I thought that I had smelled enough napalm in Nam to end my nose working cause it got to where I could not smell it either and when I got back stateside my nose still didn't work to great and over the years it has gotten worse and soon I didn't think I would ever smell anything ever again. Then it happened................. :dropjaw:  Kasey had what was left of a bowl of White Beans I had for supper one night. Just so happened it was a very cold night so she slept inside under my bed. About 3AM I realized that there are certain things my nose can still smell. Kasey is not allowed to have white beans ever again. I had to give her the bedroom and go to the recliner in the living room. I think the methane in the room at that point could have blown the house up with a spark............... :rofl:

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on a park bench one morning.                                The 87-year-old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath.                                The 80-year-old was amazed at the guy's stamina and asked him what he did to                  have so much energy.                                The 87-year-old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy                  level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."                                So, on the way home the 80-year-old stopped at the bakery.                                As he was looking around, the saleslady asked if he needed any help.                                He said, "Do you have any rye bread?"                                She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?"                                He said, "I want 5 loaves."                                She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves! By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll                  be hard."                                He replied, "I can't believe everybody knows about this sh-t but me!"

That is the only thing my son -in- law hates about his job. They do a ton of work on Government Contracts on Government Air Bases and Army bases and every time they go to a new base all of his crew and he has to go through a back ground check prior to being permitted onto the base. It has gotten so bad that if they go 2 months with out doing work on a Government facility even though he is using the exact same crew he did 2 +months earlier they half to go through the B.G. checks all over again. He said if the contracts didn't pay so well he would consider asking his boss to quit bidding on them............... :shrug:

I had every opportunity there was to go to college. Parents and Grand parents both offered to pay to put me through school but I was not one that really liked school to begin with but made the most out of it with a B average grade level. Back then there were many kids going to college to avoid the draft and Vietnam. My Mother begged me to go to college to avoid the draft but my Father told me to make my own decisions. I went into the Navy, served 5 years for my country and came home. Entered a trade school for Auto Mechanics, Graduated, opened my own business which I passed down to my son when I retired. He down sized because finding good help was almost impossible but is still in business on a smaller scale. With that said!!!   I have seen news networks do interviews with college students a lot this election year and some of them have been in school 2 or more years and the reporter will ask them what is their major and they come off the wall with something I have no clue what it would be as an occupation. Then the reporter moves to politics and there are people with 2 or more years of college that cannot even tell you who the President is or who is even running for the White House in 2016 and some don't even know it's an election year. To me that is scary!!!!!! Do these people live in a bubble of stupidity when not in a classroom?...................jmho

I was a very happy man.  My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year.  So we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister, Sofia. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me. I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate.  She never did it around anyone else.  One day she called me and asked me to come over. "To check my sister's wedding invitations" she said. She was alone when I arrived.  She whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me. She couldn't overcome them anymore. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married.  She said "Before you commit your life to my sister".  Well, I was in total shock, and I couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom" she said. "If you want one last wild fling, just come up and have me". I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.  I stood there for a moment...then turned and made a bee-line straight to the front door.  I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.   Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!   With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me.  He said, "Sergio, we are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter.  Welcome to the family my son."  And the moral of this story is:   Always keep your condoms in your car.

I totally do understand and respect your decision. Was just an idea for a good cause.    Thanks for the reply.

Once upon a time there was a king who wanted to go fishing. > > He called the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days. > > So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen.  On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace at once because in just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area". > > The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional.  And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him and I will continue on my way."  So he continued on his way. > > However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky.  The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition. > > Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster. > > The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting.  I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain." > > So the king hired the donkey. > > And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions. > > And the practice is unbroken to this date..

Well, I guess that must be why my nose don't work any more. I can't smell anything these days but back when I was a mechanic for 33+ years I used to replace a ton of Differential gaskets and seals and that stuff must have burned out my nasal passages and stopped them from working............ :shrug:
