I just got off the phone with Ronnie (my son) down in Kingston Springs in Cheatham County. He just got off the phone with the Sheriff down there. The Sheriff told Ronnie that they have recovered 4 of the guns that were stolen from our home back in 1988 when they burglarized our home while we were at the hospital with my oldest son that was in a coma from and auto accident. They recovered all long guns. The most important one was recovered which is my dead sons Winchester model 1200 12 gauge. They also recovered my younger sons 20 gauge Winchester 1200 , my Mossberg 4.10 Pump and a Marlin 30/30. They said the investgation is on going and they hope to learn where more of them are. There is only 4 more long guns out there and all the rest are hand guns. The only gun out of all was my dead sons Winchester Pump that I really wanted back. I had bought it and my other sons 20 gauge for Christmas 3 years prior to my sons accident. I bought all 3 of those shotguns at Speciality Arms in LaVergne a couple years after they opened up for business and they were running a special on Winchesters. I wanted a pump 4.10 for a couple years so bought the Mossberg and because I was buying the other two guns they gave me a package deal on 3 guns. I remember having to take the 4.10 back because it would shoot around corners. When I told the guy it would shoot around corners he laughed but took the gun in the back to their range and test fired it 3 times. He came back out with a new Mossberg in a box and handed me 5 boxes of 4.10 ammo. He said you are correct sir. It does shoot around corners. He said the barrel was evidently bent from the factory. Very nice folks to do business back then. They have grown a lot since I bought the shotguns. I really wanted it back most of all. They said they will be returned after the case is closed but at least I now know it will be coming home eventually where it belongs. All they could tell Ronnie right now is they were discovered in a home in Cumberland Furnace during a drug bust raid on a house there and the occupants were arrested for dealing drugs out of the house. My son ask if he could give him the names of the drug dealers but he said he could not because it is an ongoing investigation. Ronnie was trying to see if it was someone he knew. Will keep ya'll updated as I learn more.

Are you really gonna give that much credit to thugs that they would think there are guns in the house?? They blow past the gun buster signs in stores and rob them all the time. Do you think a gun buster house would slow them down????? Your realy giving them way to much credit for being smart............... I have a sign in my front window with a picture of a shotgun that says: Private Property! I have posted it to you in english! Do I need to say it in 12 gauge!!! I don't really have a shotgun. I have 2 of them.

Well in most every mass shooting the person owning and operating the place was evidently not to smart because about 95% of them also had no gun signs up but it didn't stop the bad guys going in with their guns did it? In MY HUMBLE OPINION the signs are an invitation or a welcome mat for the bad guys. Back years ago I had a friend that owned an auto repair center and his business was much larger than his building and he had to leave customers cars out side under security lights. It didn't stop the thieves from stealing Mag wheels, Stereos and anything else of value they could find. His insurance company told him 1 more hit and they would be dropping him. We were talking about it and I told him to hire some security and he said it would cost to much on top of his insurance and I told him the Security would be worth more than the insurance if he got the right kind. He said oh yea , what kind and I told him I would have a guy stop by and talk to him. That Monday morning an off duty Metro Police officer stopped by and had a talk with my buddy. He said he would supply him with all the security he needed for $100.00 a night and it would cost him $200.00 a week plus the new signs. Big signs in all three of his front windows that read. ARMED SECURITY ON DUTY 2 NIGHTS A WEEK!! BAD GUYS PICK THE NIGHTS?? Well things we fine for about a month and a black van pulled onto the lot and 3 guys jumped out heading for cars. Well they picked the wrong night. The Metro police officer had all three in cuffs and the van was caught two miles away by a squad car that was coming to back the officer up that radioed in for back up and put out a description of the van leaving the scene. Them 4 young men from Kentucky just picked the wrong night. Signs work when you have good guys with guns backing them up. He was parked in the lot next door in his unmarked Squad car with smoked windows. When he climbed out he had his shotgun with him. My friend never had another issue with thieves and signs stayed up till he closed down 12 years later. The officer made sure it made the news without using any names but did give the location where the bad guys were arrested. My buddy said it was the best $700.00 he ever spent. The officer only worked 7 nights and he picked the nights before he caught them. Now let me also add that this was back when Metro Police officers could legally moonlight without getting in trouble for it.

I don't remember that being a responsible adult time in my life. Must have been a long time ago. My daughter says I never had a time of being one. My son said he remembers it well. Said it lasted almost a week. They still argue over when it was and they try and drag me into it and I keep telling them they are acting like children.....

Wait till your 70+ and you will wish you were 45 again every morning when you get out of bed................

I have a friend that is in real estate business here locally and he is telling anyone that might be looking to buy a new home to go now and get pre-approved for a mortage loan and make sure you keep it updated so when you find a place you want you can buy it on the spot before someone else buys it out from under you. He said right now here in Tennessee and Kentucky it's dog eat dog in their business.

I just got mine renewed back in May but old one didn't expire till August but it was my first renewal and knowing how things work, if I waited till last minute I would either forget to do it or they would screw it up so I will give them 2 months. My SIL got his lifetime and asked if I was going to get one and I said Nope!! He said Why not and I said because I don't have a lifetime left!!!!!

Even if you have a life time it has as expiration date!!!

yea, I was kind of surprised that I have a lady do most of the paper work to get me set up but still needed to complete a few things so went back the next day and the lady was off that day. I went over and sat down waiting for another person to get free and another lady came up to me and said Hi Mr. Richards. Is there something I can assist you with. I was caught a tad off guard that this lady called me by my name. I ask if Edie was working and she told me she was off and the new lady took care of the issues I had that day in about 20 minutes and at that point I was totally WB&T customer. I got an email from BOA today telling me that if I had anything outstanding and it was presented to the bank for payment they would re-open my account, return what ever was presented as insufficient Funds and charge me a $29.00 transaction fee. I laughed at it and thought yea I guess because I was stupid enough to do business with you for 18+ years I would be stupid enough to close an account with outstanding items not cleared at the time I closed it. Sorry BOA , but I am not that stupid............

We have a simliar issue at my SIL's house. I was concerned about moving out there and not having internet access so last time I went down there I took my broad band unit with me. Tommy plugged it into his lap top and it loaded onto computer and we went to all of my forums I hang out in and google and searched a few items and it worked flawlessly. So that solved my internet issue. Braod band works out there. My cell phones both work out there just fine. 1 cell in on AT&T and one is on Sprint. Now with that said I don't understand why but they can't get satelite to work at his house. He has had Dish and Direct both come out and try and get a satelite hookup and they cannot get it to work. He has to use an outdoor antenna just to get about 4 local channels and the only news network they can get on the antenna is News Channel 5. Thing is 1 mile down the road in either direction they can get satelite reception. I'm thinking that all both guys from both companies did was try is from mounting it on the house. My neighbor next to me now had Direct TV installed and they could not find a location on his house they could use so they mounted the small dish on a pole and ran the cable under ground about 35 feet to his house and it works fine..

I have a little story about my yard floods. I had some crackheads living in the apartment in front of my cottage and the police where getting ready to do a surprise raid on the apartment which does have front and rear entrances. They did not do their homework to well before doing the raid. If they had when the officers that were going to go around and watch the rear exit they would have known about my floods. They caught all the bad guys that came running out the back door but only because both LEO's and bad guys were lit up like a football field. The cops tripped the lights just about the time the bad guys exited the back door. It was easy for the police to see the bad guys but was just as easy for the bad guys to see the police. Had they came to me a day or so earlier and asked me to turn off the back yard and just have the back door to the apartment and the parking area of their vehicles I could have done that for them. I guess maybe they thought I would tip the bad guys off. Little did the police know, I wanted them gone as bad as they wanted to catch them............

Well I went and took the survey they sent me.Figured that could be the least I could do since they ask my views. Below was what I made in a couple reply sections that had. The question is above and the reply is below. Please share your feedback with Dan. The more detail, the better. My Time with your employee was adequate and he did all I requested of him. He closed all of my accounts for me. What additional information would you like to share with us? I am leaving BOA for several reasons and the main one is BOA's decision to ask all Firearms manufacturers that have been doing with BOA have been asked to take their banking business else where. Except you are willing to LOAN them money but you don't want their banking business. I am an American and I live by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. With a bank title such as Bank of America one would be led to believe your organization would also be loyal to the Constitution but evidently it is in name only in your case. Now with that said I have other reasons for leaving also. Service at your branch banks has declined and you no longer have full time tellers at your drive up windows where I did most of my banking due to the fact I am handicapped. Some times I would be in line up to 30 minutes waiting for service. You also decided that I no longer should receive free checks even though I am on a fixed income and handicapped and been a loyal customer of yours for at the time 15 years. With that said, I can deal with all the minor little issues but when you began turning your back on the Constitution and companies that are a part of it being a 2nd Amendment operated companies you also turned your back on me and my beliefs. I was not a customer to you. I was just a number!!!

Well I have them about 3 weeks before renewing mine but I was going to half to have a new picture made so I went to DMV and got mine done. In and Out in 25 minutes and got my new one in the mall about 10 days later. I didn't even consider a lifetime since I was getting ready to turn 70 anyway. I'm not expecting to be around when this one expires but with me stranger this have happened.

Folks here know I moved from BOA yesterday and went to Wilson Bank & Trust but to show you how on top of their game BOA is they sent me to emails yesterday. 1 was an account alert warning me that my account balance had dropped below $25 dollars. The other one was requesting I fill out a survey about how well I enjoyed my visit to the bank yesterday? I am going to not worry about the first one but I am going to do the survey I think...............
-
This day in time your not a customer my friend. You are merely a number on a piece of paper and in 99.5% of the time when you walk in the door and they have no clue who you are.
-
I was hoping he would have thrown a name of a gun out there so I could have said damn what are you doing with a piece of junk like that and then through out some really high end gun and told him he needs to get something that he can really defend himself with and get a dialog started but I don't think he was able to give me an answer without sounding stupid so he dodged it.
-
I did mention that I have a carry permit and I carry most of the time and he said they don't have any issues with their customers being armed while in the bank which I was while there also but I was not printing at all so kept him guessing whether I was at the time or not. All I know for sure is he wanted to get rid of me as fast as possible and normally when I needed a cashiers check the bank officer would get it for me and bring it back to his office. He sent me to the counter and let the teller do all the paperwork to finish closing out my account and print the check. He did walk behind the counter and handed the teller the paper work on his part and got gone quick. No thank you for your 19 years of business or anything.

I am now officially a Wilson Bank & Trust customer and no longer have a dime in BOA. Went up this morning and closed out both of my accounts and had a nice young man meet and greet me and ask if he could help and I said yes sir. You can close both of my accounts and give me my money. Then the questions began as to why I was leaving BOA. I tried not to be to ugly so I said the service has gone down hill to far for my needs. He said and what needs are those and I said waiting at the drive up window for 20 mnutes while a reller ran from the window to the counter and back doing transactions for cars lined up in front of me. And he said what do you use the windown for the most and I said deposits and he began to explain about all the other new ways I could do it electronically and I said I don't want a machine to do what a person should be doing. He continued typing and he said was that my only complaint and I said I also don't have any use for a bank that is against the Constitution and he said BOA was 100% behind the Constitution. I said then why have they requested all the firearms manufacturers to move their accounts and have stopped doing business with them. The 2A in a part of that Constitution and evidently BOA does not like the 2A. He said BOA has still offered to make loans to any of them and I said loans yes banking business in general no. He said that he is not against the 2A personally. I thought about it a second and then I ask him what kind of hand gun he owned? He stumbled a little and said at the present time I don't own one and I said if your going to buy one what kind would you buy and he said he didn't know. He could not get me out of his office fast enough. He took me to the bank counter, gave me the paper work and walked away. I think I made him uncomfortable and got him out of his little soft and cooshie realm of reality.

Dissenting Opinion by Kavanaugh
bersaguy replied to chances R's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
No pick is going to please everyone. That is fact. Kavanaugh is about as good as Trump could have chosen and I think it was great pick. I do believe he is a Constitutional pick that will do what is right. Like CHL quoted. The only perfect person that has every walked upon the Earth was hung on a cross 2000+ years ago. All Trump could do was pick what he felt would be best for the country. I think the choice was just fine.............JMHO -
Glad you got out of there before they needed an ambulance for Travis!! I swore off going through the doors of Wally World for anything back years ago. I buy my food at Krogers and household needs at Krogers and anything else is pretty much TSC and Dollar General. If those 3 stores don't have it I don't need it..........JMHO

Well prayers go out to his family regardless of what the circumstance turn out to be. A loss of life is bad however it happens. It seems this man was a very talented heart surgeon and was very well like by most everyone that knew him.

Let me add Greg, there is one more aluminum boat I would buy if I myself was looking for an aluminum boat and that would be a G3. I know several friends that own one and I have rode in and fished out of theirs and they are great boats and best of all they are owned by Yamaha Marine so you should be able to get a package boat w/ a Yamaha motor at a good price. Sending you a PM
-
Well. let me say this about the boats. They are 98% same boats. They both are welded 1 piece construction which I knew Tracker would go there eventually if they wanted to stay in the aluminum boat business and get away from the rivets. So the boat is really not as much of an issue as the price is and the dealers reputation in which your planning on doing business with. I don't know anyone at Bass Pro Shop/ Tracker/Nitro which is owned by Johnny Morris and Mercury so you gonna get a Mercury Motor with your boat. Your neasest warranty with Tracker is located at Bass Pro Shop. Triton is owned by Platium Equity which is a holding company that owns Triton, Ranger and Stratos boat companies. They don't own any boat dealers so when you buy one of those you should have your choice of what kind of motor you want and are willing to pay for. The top 2 sellers are Yamaha and Mercury and then you have Honda and Suzuki. With that said, I do know the owner of S&R Marine and have had dealings with them on several occasions and was always pleased. That is all I will say so I guess as they like to say the Boat is in your boat house on this one or the ball is in your court. Good luck with any decision you make.
