In my opinion which is not much. "I say take the law and stuff it". It is just going to cause feuds in families, come between friends and even people in the snowflake catagory will be accusing someone of something just because they don't believe in the same thing. As far as the accuser paying double or even triple the damages the accused went through the only winner is the court system and lawyers. The damage is already done by this point. I still believe if you give the anti-gun people an inch of our rights according to the Constitution it is 1 inch to much!!!!!

Well, I am sorry to hear about your friend for sure. It does sound like a spare of moment decision. My only issue I have in life except for getting old which is always part of life, Now don't ya'll laugh but my biggest challenge in life now is keeping up with all the meds I am suppose to take every day and the games my Med insurance company keeps playing. I have been playing musical pills with them for a couple years now. I just about how all the ducks in a row before my heart attack last January and at that point it all went to hell again. The heart doctor added about 5 different medications and kept me on about 4 of the ones I was on from my GP doctor. I have been working for a year again trying to get some order restored in that part of my life. My biggest issues I have found are the doctors will write a perscription for 1 fill and 5 refills on 30 day fills and the damn insurance tells Walgreens to fill them on 90 day fill. And then some meds are only written with 1 fill and 2 refills and they will do them all 90 at once. and I will be down to 4 or 5 pills of a Medicine that has a refill on it but the insurance company won't approve the fill till I am down to 2 pills sometimes because some months have 30 days and some 31 days. February is hell!!!!! I do my level best to make sure I have enough pills to get past that month by at least 2 months. My next trip to both of my doctors will be long talks. I am going to have each one of them go over my meds list carefully and eliminate any meds I really really really DON"T need. Example Heart doctor, has me on Plavix(major blood thinner) and also a low dose aspirin which is also a blood thinner. My blood is like water now and if I get the smallest cut or scratch I bleed like crazy. He and I will be talking about that. But anyway, that is my biggest challenge in my life and I sometimes actually laugh about it because it does keep me on my toes.

I think she will do ok as long as anti gun people don't hammer her and she has the support of the sheriff and her family and friends.

It is getting to where every time you listen to the news you will hear of between 1&3 murder/suicides. If a person is going to take their own life they have a mental issue to begin with. I don't understand why they think they have to kill someone along with themselves. During general dicussions with friends the question has come up once and someone asked if anyone has ever considered even remotely about comitting suicide. My reply was HELL NO!! I love myself to much. They said just say you would think about it, would you want to kill someone with you? I finally ask him if he was considering doing it cause he was full of questions about it. There was about 4 or 5 of us that were just sitting around talking when the subject came up. I told him I would not take my own life under any conditions and I damn sure would not take a loved one or anyone else with me. That kind of ended the discussion on it. The guy was a friend and when he left he was with another friend. I called the friend that left with him later and ask him if he brought the subject up on the way home and he said no. We all kept an eye on him for a while and that was over a year ago and he has never brought the issue back up at any other gatherings. I wonder if there are really any warning signs people can look for when someone might be leaning that way...............

Don't you know all the anti-gun people wet their panties when they watched and listened to that Sheriff almost celebrating a woman protecting herself with a firearm and killing the bad guy with a head shot in the middle of the night. Also telling folks that everyone should get a CWP and trained on how to defend themselves with a firearm...................

Prayers for the Trooper that he has a full recovery. Need more officers like him on our nations highways.................JMHO

I applaud this lady for her actions in saving her life and using what she was taught plus getting a CWP for when she is not at home. I am also impressed that her one shot was a head shot. More stories like this need to be made far more public than they are. Chalk one up for the good guys and gals..................

That is my feelings exactly Fox. RED FLAG laws can get totally out of control in a heartbeat just as they did in Maryland ending in a mans unessary death just on the word of a distant extended family member making a complaint!!!!

Thank GOD he didn't hit his child or any one else. You can bet he will probably be arrested and should be by all rights. I no longer drink alcohol but back when I did I never carried. Not even if it was just a gathering of friends at someones home.

After reading about that fiascal that took place in Maryland over RED FLAG law I think it is "NOT" a good idea for Tennessee. Like they say: "Give them an inch and you will be sorry you did!!" I know it's not exactly the saying but that is what normally happens. Most of us know that the law that gets introduced for us to see is not the law that gets passed. Words get changed here and there while passing through committee and the law that gets approved and passed is done before it is made and put up for public viewing. By then it's to late. This reminds me of the statement "You have to sign it to see whats in it!" You all saw what came out of that one. I won't agree with any Law that does not give the person being accused of an issue their day in court prior to the invasion of their homes to take their guns. Not because some distant extended family member just saying he has guns and is dangerous. That is what got the man killed in Maryland. During that day in court the accuser of said problem must be present in the court room and have to face the accused. Yes!! that would mean Innocent until proven Guility which is how our legal system is suppose to operate. If they want that kind of law, write it and then make it totally public for all to see and then put it on a ballot in the next election and let the people decide what is best for us. So it can't be changed in Committee and then we wil know for sure what we will be getting in the bill. If you are thinking I don't trust elected officials you are 100% correct, especially when they say it is a bipartisan bill. I also think like Chuck when it comes to getting in contact with your elected officials and asking questions and when folks get replies have a thread here to compare the replies from what you get from who you contact and see how many of them are on the same page and how many are out in left field somewhere.

I was teasing about the Pup part........LOL I could tell by that gray face that he's a very old Pup.

I have a feeling that pup loves a camera huh?..............

I'm not a preper either. The way my health has declined in the last couple years I don't even buy green Bananas anymore. Found out the other day on the news that the FDA said some Blood Pressure medicines doctors have been perscribing for quit a few years causes cancer and one of them I have been taking for over 18 years. Can't really fault the doctors since acccording to the news they just discover this about 6 months ago. My heart attack and surgery for it will be a year old next month and I'm still not running on all cylinders yet but doing everything to doctor tells me to do. He said walking was important. No need worrying about that part. Darby has to walk at least 5 times a day rain or shine. I know my neighbors think I have lost my mind out in a heavy rain walking her but rain does not bother her as long as theres no thunder in it. Oh well, just another day in Paradise!!!!..................

Prayers sent that your family members are safe and sound up there........

Ok, Thanks Red. I know it had been there many years but have not been down that way in a long time.

I don't know if there is any members here that travel Lebanon Road between Hermitage and Mt. Juliet but their use to be a huge place across from Shilo Plaza on the right side going towards Mt.Juliet that sold wood. Split and round logs for fireplaces and wood stoves. I have not been through there in a couple years so don't know if it's still there. Maybe a member here can tell you if they are still selling wood there.

Yea! the news said the car was on an Island of land. I would imagine it was a pants warming moment...................

Well I won't say that LEOs are all trigger happy. Their are some men and women that should not be wearing a police uniform, thats for sure. They have a chip on their shoulder when they put it on and the chip remains when they take it off. My issue is what kind of a country would it be without the good ones that perform their jobs and don't have the attitude the few bad ones have. IMO I would rather have the good ones but sometimes you have to take a little bad to see the good.

Alaska suffered a major earthquake this morning that hit near Anchorage and from what I saw on the news it was a 7.0 and done some serious damage. They are doing a major inspections all along the pipeline.

It's easy for the gun grabbers in America to say we are the worst of the worst because our news networks don't broadcast all the mass shootings around the world like they use to. One network use to brag about having World News Today with Walter Cronkite but it died when he died...................

Well a welcome to TGO is not needed since you have been a member for years so I will say welcome to the Forums and look forward to having you posting..........

Putting their stupid decision out there and then blaming everything including the weather still does not add to their bottom line in profits and that is all investors are interested in seeing is profits.......JMHO

My next to oldest brother didn't like his name even though he was named after a famous President and a famous train company so he told every one to call him Joe. His name was Dwight Lionel which was after Dwight Eisenhower and the great toy maker of trains, Lionel. He was called Joe so much that many people thought that was his real name. It made his teachers mad when they would use his real name when they called on him in class and he didn't reply back. After a while the teachers began calling him Joe also........................

They made that bed so let them lay in it. Maybe some of these companies that jump on the anti-gun train might want to do some research first to see how many people in this country purchase guns, own guns and hunt with guns. It's not just the right that own gun! People on the left purchase them also and they hunt also.........JMHO

For those of ya'll that have not seen it, I think it was South West that had a commercial on TV that did exactly that to people with odd names................
