  1. I went along with the wife to Sevierville because she wanted to go to a craft store out there. Figured I could stop at Buds and the knife shop there to see what they had. I got to say I was a bit disappointed; the knife shop had tons of Chinese stuff along the aisles and a few counters of the commercially available knives. The only tn made stuff I seen was some pieces of Damascus steel which were next to useless unless you bought the large expensive pieces. I had wanted to see if they had Lodge cast metal stuff, they are listed as their outlet, but they only had a standard display, and a bunch of Old Mountain stuff, Chinese of course, and those prices were not all that. Then I went looking at the Lodge Store to see if they had any deals, nope just about the same. So then I went to Bud's, big place but nothing really special so I had to get something to not leave empty handed. Doesn't shoot straight, but gets my BBQ started just fine
  2. Honestly? What next, you guys taking a knee as well. I personally have no issue remembering this event on it's anniversary date, and deplore the fact that other important dates seem to be forgotten today, such as Dec 7, May 8, August 14-15. Really, maybe you guys need to try out for the NFL. As for me, I'll take a moment to remember those lost that day and those we are still losing due to that day.
  3. Ok, I will take this if you still have it. Since my Garand has become a safe queen I figured I would let someone have a crack it first, but it's been a few days. Ok, for my donation I have a standard capacity Beretta M9 (92FS) magazine. ###Taken by luvmyberetta . ###
  4. I like that knife, looks like a decent skinner. I am more into the skinner type knives, I would like to take a stab (no pun intended) at trying to make one like that.
  5. Right back at her: http://wwlp.com/2016/09/01/two-gun-companies-suing-a-g-healey-after-investigation/ CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Two gun companies are suing Attorney General Maura Healey, after she launched investigations into their guns. Remington and Glock’s lawsuit claims Healey inappropriately invoked her powers under the state’s consumer protection law. Healey said she’s concerned the company hasn’t made any changes after being warned of this safety issue. Healey’s demanding their records. “If we have reason to believe it, and there’s information that there may be safety issues, then we’re going to ask those questions and go where the facts lead us,” said Healey. Healey told 22News the state is working to regulate guns like any other consumer product.
  6. I guess he should of left his Trump sign alone
  7. Ha, you did good; I would probably average a box of shells per bird if I was lucky. Seem to remember getting more feathers than birds. I do want to find a nice field to go to though, I miss dove hunting.
  8. I question that page, it shows Elliott as number 1, he hasn't even played yet. There are no dates or sold quantity on the page so who knows how the order is quantified. But either way, I don't see this as a big show of support, more like BLM folks latching on to the press about him.
  9. Ok yes, but it is April 2016 to June 2016. The one you list is probably a spike due to this issue purchased by BLM supporters, won't last.
  10. Doesn't show any dates on my screen.
  11. Doesn't even make the top 25 here: http://www.nflshop.com/pages/Top_Selling_Jerseys
  12. 1000 Yards? Highly improbable, we used to dove hunt a pit and we would all get around it, on the thin side it was less than a 100 yards and we would get rained on but never hit with any force. Of course that was just #7 shot in 12 gauge, if someone was using something with a bit more zip I could see it reaching a couple hundred yards but even then I doubt it could do any real damage. Now duck hunters would reach much further, but duck is not in season and still doubt even duck load can reach 1000 yards.
  13. I don't know, Vick got picked up when I thought he didn't have a chance. With the NFL it's all about the money so if they need a QB I think they might sign him.
  14. Well at least it's written well, not much room for misunderstanding the new rule. Last year's rule concerning the private land Hunt week ended up having some bucks taken though it was a doe only season. At least not many citations were given due to the TWRA seeing it was honest mistakes.
  15. The flag belongs to its people, not the government.
  16. I like it, I think I'll take a crack at it. I have been looking at a few concealed cabinets and concealment products but they were either too expensive for what they were, or just would be out of place.
  17. At the range of an AR, say 300 meters, you are only limited by your eyes. Iron sights can be effectively used if you can see your target. If you plan on using it for reactive targets, say pop-ups, then a red dot or 1-4 scope should do it, if shooting from a bench or other stable platform then any decent 3-9x40 or better will do. I use a gamut of scopes and rarely get any "good glass" ie expensive. A good Vortex, Bushnell, Simmons etc will do just fine and within your budget, I personally think many of the expensive scopes are over rated relying on the name to keep the price up. I can't tell the difference between a $600+ Leupold or a $300 Vortex, Bushnell etc, like a big difference in clarity features etc, least not any that make a hugh difference. A sighting system is only a reference point to me, I rarely use the adjustments in the field after I zero the rifle, only the magnification settings. As long as the magnification setting doesn't change the POA, some do, and the glass is clear and doesn't fog, then it's a good scope. I am not a competitive shooter though, so maybe I'm just blowing smoke here, but I usually hit what I am aiming at.
  18. Should we legalize Marijuana? Yes, I think we should, but that really is not the question now is it? I think the bigger question is should the federal government decide a state issue. The Feds have no business interfering in state law as long as those state laws don't infringe on the rights of it's people. Some of us already see the feds infringing on our Second Ammendment rights by requiring background checks so this just ads to the infringement. IMHO, I think a state law should trump a federal law within that state. If a state doesn't have a law specifically outlawing something or it's federal property then fine but otherwise, no. Now, as far as legalization goes, I don't think it will significantly change anything. Just look at CO, where I am from, they have to deal with this issue and have developed ways to determine if you meet the dui criteria: Marijuana Legalization and Impaired Driving Marijuana affects reaction time, short-term memory, hand-eye coordination, concentration, and perception of time and distance. Getting high and getting behind the wheel of a car will get you arrested for a DUI; this law hasn't changed with the January 2014 legalization of marijuana. As with alcohol, there is an established impairment level in Colorado: five nanograms of active tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the active psychoactive component of marijuana—per milliliter of whole blood. CDOT has been working alongside the marijuana industry, and other state and local agencies to develop policies and education efforts to inform marijuana users about the dangers of driving while impaired. See some frequently asked questions about the law and driving. Use the quick links at the left to get more information on the drugged driving campaign in Colorado.
  19. Well yea, anyone's driving privileges can be denied for many things including dead-beat dads which have nothing to do with driving. MJ as most any other drug except maybe PCP, which they say can have affects way after use, wears off. And while a urine test would show MJ use that does not mean impairment. I bet police would be able to tell if impairment exists due to any reason, heck they have to have a reason to pull you over in the first place.
  20. Yes, you can be charged for being impaired even if you have a prescription for said substance. But you don't get denied a drivers license if you use drugs; of course its been awhile and the questionnaire for a DL may of changed but I don't recall them asking. This site gives a good run down on detection times, which for a casual user of marijuana is 1-5 days, the 30 days is for chronic users. http://www.ohsinc.com/info/detection-time-frame/
  21. Oxy stays in your system for sometime as well and its prescribed and abused much as any other drug. The bottom line is that MJ needs to be treated as any other schedule II drug (Schedule I now) and decriminalized. The Feds just don't want to admit they are wrong so they keep it illegal. Personally, I would rather have to deal with potheads than drunks, carrying or not.
  22. I looked in the current rulebook but didn't find any distance listed, but yea I seem to remember there was a clarification last year.
  23. On lowers I don't think the quantities matter. I think someone will quote the particular ATF ruling in a bit, or do a search here, I think its been posted before.
