I'm all for it. Stop and think that the job of the THP is to patrol our highways and that is their main job. They are not out there for any other reason and they didn't buy the truck. It was seized in a drug bust. Texting and driving became against the law I think back on July 1 of this year. I think it is as dangerous if not more dangerous than drunk driving because more young drivers are doing it than there are drunk drivers. My Grandson is or was a great example of texting while driving and also listening to a GPS that gives him directions verbally. Twice he wreck a car while Texting. First time he rana stop sign and t boned a pickup truck and totaled his car and thank GOD no one was hurt. 2 months later, another car and texting again and hit another car in the rear that stopped for a light and he didn't. Then a 3rd car with a verbal GPS telling him directions and he may have been texting then also but swears he was not. It's dark and GPS tells him to turn left onto barker road and he immediately turns left and drove directly in a deep ditch about 15 feet before reaching the road he was suppose to turn on. In my opinion they have put far to many toys for adults to play with in new cars and are very distracting for many drivers but that is............jmho

I don't know why you should be amazed about people today. Most people are so involved in their own lives that they have no clue what the person next to them is doing?  I have watched many news programs where they send a reported out with a mic and interview folks on the street and ask them a question that back 25 years ago 99% of folks could answer and today you will find maybe 1 in 50 that can answer the simplest questions. I saw one guy ask about 30 people who the Vice President is right now and 2 got it right and most said they have no idea. Another guy was out asking questions about the health care issues taking place right now and his question was which plan do you like better? ObamaCare or the Affordable Care Act and some said the ACA and others said Obamacare. They were so unconnected that they didn't know it was the same thing. Then there was the guy on a bus I think that pulled out a semi auto assault type pistol on the crowed bus and waved it around for about 5 minutes in plan sight and it was only when he began shooting that people were aware he had this gun. The Bus video caught it all on tape and it was a good 5 minutes that he had the gun out in plan sight and not one person saw it or paid any attention to it. So your amazed at people just walking by this girl on a rail and riding a bike past her or driving by and not stopping. Now stop and think about this. These same people vote!!!!!!

I think old new items are brought back into the news when ever this administration gets in trouble so they bring back old news in a feeble attempt to draw attention away from what is going on now. That case was settled long ago and a jury of his peers found the shooter not guilty and the case should have ended right there. Done deal case closed but the news medias cannot let it die when ever they need to as a diversion from something else.............jmho

As best I can tell she plans on only giving out letters and no candy period but might be wrong. I think her decision to do this is right out of the Michelle Obama hand book. Cheaper to hand out letters than candy too. I am passing out mini granola soft and chewy bars from Quaker Oats this year. Picked them up at Sams. Box of 48 for $7.99. Got two boxes of them and if I have any left I will eat them as they are good and healthy. I don't get a lot of kids but get some so wanted to be ready anyway. I know my great grand kids like them because they eat some every time they visit.

  Good point Jacob. I think if we show them in 2014 that We The People decide who stays and who goes and not the other way around we can regain control of our country. We need to talk to ever uneducated or under educated people in our neighborhoods and work places we can I believe take our country back but we need to begin now and not let up till the day of the elections. You need to decide on who your going to throw your support behind and then start working on swinging the under educated voters in that direction. I really think that many voters are disgusted with what is going on in our country and are becoming more aware off all the lies they have been told.and even now with some of the pet news medias beginning to move more to the middle and talking about the lies they have been told it is going to be easier to swing many voters if they are shown how and who they should support..........jmho 

  Yea, Delorean became a major Cocaine trafficker  to try and finance his auto company and got some prison time for his efforts and the car company went away.

This is exactly why I posted a while back that we all need to begin getting focused on 2014 mid-term election and make sure we keep the House and get the Senate so they will not ratify that damn UN treaty Kerry was stupid enough to sign. If the Democrats gain the house and keep the Senate that will be at the top of the list of things for a complete Democratic controlled Congress to do is ratify it. Folks, this is just my opinion but the mid term elections of 2014 is going to be the most important election this country has ever faced in recent history. Even more important than the 2012 election. WE THE PEOPLE need to make very sure Obama is a totally Lame Duck President his last two years and the Congress has to power to remove him from office if he ever farts and anyone can smell it. Right now the Democrats are running away from Obama like he is some kind of contagious disease. They all know that he is making their re-election bids damn near impossible to win and his ACA lies are just that LIES and the American people are vastly becoming aware that he has lied to them over and over and over and so have his cronies. His pet news media's are even beginning to turn on him. Talk to your friend and have then talk to their friends and lets take back Washington DC for the people but more for the Sake of the Country. Have meetings with friends and cook outs with friends and neighbors and talk about this.............jmho

Those people that live in all those drug laden third world countries aren't really known for being none to smart to begin with. I'm surprised he didn't bring a knife to a gun fight but brought something even less of a weapon. Stupid is as Stupid does..................jmho

Do you have a link to Gilberts Guns?

I think that was me that said all police forces should have a set of rules to how they handle people with HCP's. If they run a license and that person has an HCP it is going to come back as the person possibly being armed but if they come back with a clean record which they must have in order to have an HCP then that should put them at ease rather than make it worse. At the present time there are over 400,000 Tennesseans with HCP's so police officers should know that in many cases the possibility of stopping an HCP person is growing every day.............jmho

I guess there have been a lot of answers as what folks would do both pros and cons on the issue. If the officer that makes the stop will learn soon as he runs your DL that you also have an HCP. I would rather they have both my DL and my HCP when he walks back to his car than to learn about it and know he has to walk back up to your car and know that he is walking up to a vehicle with a possibly armed person in it. It can make some officers uneasy while others will take it in stride with just a little caution.......JMHO

Now this is just my thought but I think the American people are beginning to wake up to just what has happened and that for the most part made one of the biggest mistakes in their lives when they voted Obama into office the first time. Going up against McCain/Palin ticket was a cake walk. The Democrats were not as sure about the re-election so they knew they might have to rig the election. Enter George Soros. His company was one of the companies elected(by who I am not sure) to send the vote counting off shore to one of his companies in Spain to count the votes. Why does an off shore company count ballots in a Presidential election held n the United States. That has never been done in the history of this country until 2012. George Soros is one of Obama's biggest money backers. How could anyone believe there would be a true vote count under those circumstances? Then they make sure that none of the troops that are out of country don't get to vote by delaying getting the absentee ballots to them in time to vote and get them back for counting. He knew the troops would not be a favorable vote so he screwed them. My grand son was in Afghanistan and his entire outfit didn't get to vote and they were very pissed about it. Now with all of that said we have what we have and now "We the People" are at the mercy of a bunch of maniacs in D.C. and that is on both sides of the isle in some cases such as McConnell. Alexander and Corker to name a few turncoat traitors that have refused to listen to the people that elected them. So where do we go from here? Will the country survive till the 2014 mid term elections? Will the ballot boxes be rigged again? I know this. We all need to be talking to everyone we know and see how folks are thinking and see just how many folks we can get to the booths to vote these traitors out of office. I am doing it everyday and I hope most folks are doing it here also.......................jmho

All the coal miners marched on Washington yesterday in an effort to stop the EPA from closing down the coal powered steam plants that produce a little over 40 % of America's electricity. I hope they succeed in their endeavors because about 90% of the EPA employees are UN-essential  according to the Shutdown so I say strip about 89% of the EPA's power to regulate and about 89% of is unnecessary employees and keep our coal miners working. If not and they begin closing down coal mines and steam plants where is the 40% of the nations electricity going to come from?..........jmho

This is a link that was posted on another gun site i visit. It talks about several gun companies making moves.     http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/24/wa...ontrol-states/

I use to carve back when my boys were small but now they are the ones carving for their children's children and competing with their children on who can carve the best ones and the children are the judges............ :rock: :rock:

I say it's not over till the votes are counted. No one thought Brown had a chance in Massachusetts which a pure blue state but he won there after Ted Kennedy died. Right now the Democrats are taking hits everywhere including Obama with the ACA being found out to really be a major train wreck and Obama's numbers are falling. One Democrat went as far as to ask Obama to not come to his state and campaign for his because he said "you will cost me the election." so I say it's not over till the votes are counted. Virginia has been a terrible disappointment in last few elections and it use to be a strong red state but any more I think it's a pink state.....................jmho

Most venomous snakes will for the most part try to distance themselves from humans around here. That is except for Cotton Mouths and they will be aggressive and very territorial. Copper heads for the most part are only aggressive if cornered but will try to move away if possible escape route is possible. Rattle snakes of course will try and warn you of their presence and if you give them the opportunity they will also move away in escape route. We had a 1000 acre farm I grew up on and had a river running through middle of it and over the years I guess I encountered about every species of snake there is in middle Tennessee. The snake I appreciated the most on the farm was the Black and Blue racers. Some would actually tolerate playing a game with you for a few minutes. You move towards them and they would move away and when you began to back up they would turn and follow you. They are also an enemy of venomous snakes and they will kill and eat them along with rodents. I saw one kill a copperhead and then eat it. Corn snakes can grown to 7-8 feet depending on their food supply and we had corn bins with mice in them and the Corn snakes fed well around them...........jmho  

I don't know that I would go with a You Tube and make them celebrities for doing something totally wrong. I would keep the video for any legal steps I took in the future and I would make sure I kept any bills I had to pay to repair my law mower because of the rocks........jmho

Ok , after all of this talk did he write her a ticket or give her a warning and turn her loose?????

Yep, corn snake. We use to have them on our farm all the time and never killed them because they kill rodents like mice and rats. totally harmless except if your scared of snakes they might make you hurt yourself.............. :rock:

LOL......my buddy lives right on Old Hickory Lake and if guys that know him are on the lake when his smoker is in operation boats are up at the dock wanting to get a little of what he is cooking...........it's really funny  to watch folks come off the lake to bum a sandwich...........lol    About like your buddies at work............ :yum: :yum: :yum:

Maybe next time I would wait and see if the leo asks for it instead of volunteering it up front. It is not a law that you show it on a routine traffic stop I don't think in Tennessee but maybe someone here will have more information on that. I have been stopped a few times and didn't offer it and was never asked for it. I get stopped if I get out of Gallatin or Hendersonville because of my seat belt. I don't wear the shoulder harness section but do wear the lap belt part of it. I have a letter from my doctor that explains why it is best I don't wear the shoulder harness part of it. Have  got 1 ticket  for it once. The judge read the letter from my doctor and dismissed the ticket. Plus I have a fully operational Air Bag. Most of all the leo's in Gallatin and Hendersonville know about my situation and don't stop me any more.

Talking about spicy BBQ, that is one thing my buddy has to ask folks before he cooks it for them. He brought me some one time and my eyes were watering just reheating it and it was like putting hot coals in your mouth. I managed to get a couple sandwiches down and gave the rest to my neighbor because he loves hot stuff...... :rock: :rock:

They might have decided to stay because the people of Colorado did what was needed to get them to stay.  Get rid of two anti gun grabbing Democrats trying to keep from losing another company and un-employing more people in Colorado. Could be a show of appreciation for the actions of the people of Colorado..........jmho

I think the leo may have just been testing her to see if she would comply without question. Some leo's will just test people to see if they will comply. We have a few here in Gallatin that are known to do that from time to time. I wish the Chief would lay down a set of rules for dealing with legal carry people and tell all his officers that is the rule and they all must follow it. The Chief here is a great guy and very level headed about Legal carry. The Sheriff is also a great guy and also very legal carry friendly and I have never been stopped by any of his officers yet so don't know their procedures........jmho
