I only like two brands of Jack Daniels. Old #7 Black and Gentlemen Jack. They can keep all these candy coated junk. If I want a fruit drink of alcohol I will pour a glass of good Black Berry Brandy to sip on in the evenings..............jmho

This is probably an indirect result of many different police departments using the tactic Policing for Profits like they have been doing on several interstates here in Tennessee. Dickson County has been doing is for years and it has made channel 5 news several times. The Drug Task Force was original put out there to stop east bound traffic coming to Nashville until they discovered how much drug money was going west bound. They decided they wanted the money more than the drugs so they began to target west bound traffic and began making millions. Our great Governor said he was going to put a halt to it but has yet to do so. I know this is going on in other counties also. They stopped my son once on his way home for speeding. 72 mph in 70 mph zone and after running his license and insurance they ask him if he objected to a search of his vehicle. He said if you get a warrant you can look till your hearts content. After about 3 minutes they sent him on with no ticket.

Gosh!!!! now after getting a look at the vendors I wish I would have went this year......................... :yum: :yum:

I would let the three pups live SH. As they get older they will probably move on anyway. I have a Grey or Silver fox that has taken up residence in the really honey suckle covered fence row behind my house right here in Gallatin and ever so often he comes out in my back yard just about dusk and I get to see him for a couple minutes. he has been around about 2 years or so. We use to have a few stray cats in the neighborhood but they have all gone away so guess the Fox has been eating well. They are beautiful little creatures. Now as for Yotes. I  would kill every one I see. They are another story completely.................jmho

The only issue I see with that is if you are driving without insurance and get stopped the officer can hold your license and impound your car and that leaves you without your HCP cause the LEO has it. I agree it seldom happens that an officer will do it but he is legally allowed to ticket you and take your license until you appear in court on the ticket and provide the court with proof of insurance......... :ugh: :ugh: :2cents:

Those folks don't learn to fast but you can bet it will slow down some of the random shootings into crowds like it has been for sometime now. Now the bad guys don't never know who is packing and what they may get shot with...............Glad to see a citizen step up and do what needs doing.............I give him 3 ............................... :up: :up: :up: for his actions.

I would say a 2 years old black bear is going to exceed 100 lbs but things may have been a lot more dramatic had Momma been the aggressor and not one of the cubs. Glad it came out good for you and hope they didn't do a lot of damage to your hives.......... :up:

What an Honor   I have the distinguished honor of being on the Committee to raise $50,000,000 for a monument to Hillary R. Clinton.   We originally wanted to put her on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for two more faces.   We then decided to erect a statue of Hillary in the Washington , D.C. Hall of Fame. We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside her husband William J. Clinton, who never told the truth, since Hillary could never tell the difference.   We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of them all. He left not knowing where he was going, and when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been and did it all on someone else's money.   Thank you, Hillary R. Clinton Monument Committee   P.S. The Committee has raised $2.16 so far. ​  Out of date stamps are acceptable.  Bus tokens are not.  Food Stamps .....maybe.  Mexican passports are valued at $.05.

My children will be relieved when they read this.            The Explanation            Brains of older people are slow because they know so much.  People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains, scientists believe.  Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so, too, do humans take longer to access information when their brains are full.            Researchers say this slowing down process is not the same as cognitive decline.   The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more.            Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for.  It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise.     SO THERE!!            I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names.   So, please forward this to your friends; they may be my friends, too.

In part of the post made by wileecoyote, he said "Many of the current BATFE / GCA laws and restrictions did not exist prior to 1968, and yet the world was not a criminal hell on earth, and there was not a blood bath in the streets on a daily basis, and crime was not significantly impacted either way before or since."    I have a little different view on this issue. I think since the new laws have been put into effect crime in big cities has definitely increased over the years. Back before the laws went into effect firearms were more readily available to most everyone and those laws changed that. By doing so it created a different atmosphere causing many people to become unsure about how much longer the right to purchase guns would remain. That in turn started people purchasing firearms more readily before the laws got so that many of them would not be able to buy them. I would not call it panic buying but close. Many of those guns bought back years ago are showing up now in crimes in big cities. Yes there is a straw buyer problem to some extent but I think many of the guns like being used in Chicago came from purchases made before back ground checks went into full operation. I bought my first hand gun at age 12 from a licensed FFL gun store in my home town in Illinois and it was not an illegal purchase. It was a Colt Single action 6 22 lr.....................................jmho  

I agree with a lot of this very much including the Horizontal Shoulder Holsters. I have been looking for a good vertical drop in shoulder holster for several years and all I have found so far is junk. I don't want cloth or I would already have one. I have been putting a few dimes and nickles back because I have located a man here locally that works with leather and he has agreed to make me what I want when I get the funds saved back. I would not feel right knowing my muzzle was pointing at anyone standing behind me. Either way I will continue to carry concealed as I always wear a cover shirt large enough I don't print.  .............jmho

I guess Tim was listening to Daddy Joe Biden when he chose the name for his summer tour. It is called the Summer Shotgun Tour. Just saw that advertised on TV!!!!! Thought he didn't like guns.......... :stunned: :stunned:

I just think that open carry is another word for open target, "shoot me first" in a robbery or just an open invite to have someone try and take the gun such as in this report. Had the bad guy landed a good head shot with the bat he would have possibly killed the guy and got his gun at the same time....................jmho

Well in all reality a bad guy with a gun acting irradically in public is not the guy you try to bump on the shoulder or leg with the front of your patrol car. Besides that how can you hit them in the shoulder with the bumper unless you do it just like this LEO did? It looked to me like he hit his shoulder and his leg very well................ :up: :up:

Sorry, Didn't see previous post................. :ugh: :ugh:

Just a good LEO doing his job serving and protecting law biding citizens............ :up: :up:

Tim and a few of his buddies are doing a concert to raise finds for anti-gun group................. :mad: :mad:           http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/15/tim-mcgraw-to-headline-gun-control-fundraiser/

It was in effect long before the late 70's. I was required to sign up shortly after my graduation in 1966 and I got my draft notice That my friends and neighbors have selected me to serve in our nations Army and gave me the name of the closest recruiters location. I put the letter in my pocket and drove the a Naval recruiters office and signed up for 4 years in the Navy. After we shook hands I pulled out the letter and asked if he could do anything about it and he said he would take care of it.

A lot of ya'll know I make fishing baits for purchase by anglers and I have quite a few folks out of state that order some. I had an angler that has been buying from me for years call me yesterday and we talked for quite some time and I don't know how we got on the conversation of guns but he said his wife is in that Bloomberg outfit and he said that he has given her a deadline in which to drop out of it. He said he is tired of all that crap. He said his wife is really just a follower and he knows many of the husbands of those lady's. He said 90% + of all the husbands own 1 or more firearms. It is just like Gabby Gifford's group. They fight against Americans legally owning guns yet Gabby and her Husband both own and shoot guns regularly at ranges. Even Gabby is back shooting. Now I don't know about ya'll "BUT" I would that being the POT calling the KETTLE Black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...................JMHO

I agree with you 100% on these issues. I really don't see that many of our actual military following those type of orders. Would you follow an order to enter your best friend house and take his weapons or into your grand fathers home and taking his weapons? I don't think so. I also agree with you on the Military would be spread so thin it would not be possible to carry out those type of orders. Again I agree that the big cities would demand most of our Military. I have said that if the Military was sent into Los Angeles to remove all the weapons from the honest people and gangs it would be like entering Iraq or Afghanistan and blood would fill the city sewers in that one city alone. I read the other day that the two police officers that shot and killed that man in New Orleans after Katrina to take his guns and he refused. They shot and killed him and then burned his body. The have been brought up on charges of murder. I think if there was any attempt to create a Martial Law over this entire country it would fail miserably. Hell, Japan was smart enough on the December 7th 1941 not to attack Americas Homeland because the Japanese Admiral said they would be defeated because behind every blade of grass is an American with a gun. That was in 1941. I am guessing behind every blade of grass most Americans have a minimum of 5 guns and a well supplied ammo stash to go with them..................jmho  

I think in that case the Feds did underestimate just how much opposition they would encounter so quickly and be out gunned so quickly either. The oath Keepers Stepped up to the plate really fast. That was why the Feds backed down. It would have been a Ruby Ridge or Waco in Reverse. They did the smart thing and packed up and left. They used the old adage of run away this time and live to fight another day. They won't make that mistake twice!!!!  Next time they will have Troops with them to give them armed support. Now depending on what the situation is they better hope that their troops they bring with them better agree with their plans also. Other wise they may not have the support they think they have. My grandson has told me of many men he served with that have zero respect for politicians and many of their programs. Many of them have talked about not following orders that would mean moving against American people on American soil. I am glad he is out of the Service and I was able to talk him out of re-enlisting after his two tours in Afghanistan ..........................jmho

I can already hear the Anti-gun People trying to figure out how to make a law that covers Shark Assault Guns being illegal and proposing it to Congress................. :shrug: :shrug:

Oh yea, they all still work, both sugar and sugar free work equally well............. :up:

New york has been begging for new businesses to come there and open up new manufacturing. I laughed the other night at the commercial when I heard they had even lowered the employee state income tax. That is one of the main reasons they can't get any companies to come there is the States employee income tax. Just about every state that has one is now suffering because companies will not go and open up a new shop in a state that has one. California is going to be that way real soon and well deserving of it...............jmho
