  1. It was announced that Gordon has passed away, may he RIP. If you were curious about it and haven't downloaded the software, now may be a good time as it's future is uncertain. I hope someone picks up the development for this, it is a great free asset for the shooting community.

  2. Back in the late 80s, my kids were getting old enough to understand so decided on planning a range day. Ended up with a mess of kids, and parents, and we all had a great time. I started with a safety brief, and showed them what each weapon could do to a milk jug full of Kool-Aid, cherry, to impress upon them the gravity of the safety lesson. Then rotated them through various different firearms, mostly .22, but had a 12g, 30-30 and a .270 for the older ones. I still do that, and my youngest is over 30, but when friends want to introduce their kids to guns we head out to my land and shoot. So far, I never had any friends or acquaintances that have been anti-gun, some didn't care for them, but didn't care if you did, and after getting to shoot, they were at least less apprehensive about them.
  3. I had received some gun parts that were labeled adult sig required, I was home and happened to catch the guy as he was leaving. I asked about the sig, and he said due to the CCP virus they could sign their little machine for us. In my case I didn't much care, because I'm on a busy road and have cameras, but felt it wasn't right for them to just leave a package like that.
  4. No not a federal fee, it goes to the agency performing the BG check, but it's the feds making you pay that.
  5. Averages about $30 here, some higher but most around that much, and that includes the BG check.
  6. One in for 2nd degree murder https://www.wate.com/regional-news/scso-escaped-inmates-believed-to-be-traveling-in-a-truck/
  7. Oh, I know that. You misunderstood my posts. While some may make decent salaries, it doesn't equal the BS they have to put up with. LEO, hell, most first responders and military don't make enough IMO, their service is way underappreciated by the public. We (not me, the public at large) value spoiled rich sport figures and other entertainers more than the ones we call upon in rough times. BTW, I couldn't edit my post to add the links I forgot to include, but those figures I posted were from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it shows the median US and Memphis salaries. Which shows some of the career fields making more there. https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes333051.htm
  8. Accidentally slicing your finger with it is nothing, I agree, well, unless you get into the nerves or tendons, but still. But you have to remember, men with boxcutters took 4 aircraft and killed thousands, the difference is determination and the willingness to do damage.
  9. Yea, that invalidates the whole statement.
  10. I am in Clarksville, if you ever get out this way I may be able to help you out.
  11. Lawyers just want to get their cut, and many succeed even if they don't have much of a case because for the agency it is cheaper to pay them off most times. Who is responsible for paying the bills? Why should it be us, the tax payer, that has to worry about it? Nobody will give a damn who pays my bills when I go, and dang sure nobody will be lining up to cover any legal bills that a LEO will stack up when they get charged, as a matter of fact, go fund me will actively block such attempts.
  12. No sense recommending something that is not in their inventory, and they won't buy something that doesn't have a good track record. Many of the net systems I have seen used would still let the perp draw and fire, so they are not as good as they would seem to be.
  13. Exactly like this: https://nypost.com/2021/05/02/nashville-cops-release-bodycam-of-fatal-police-shooting/ They had talked to the guy for 5 hours, and still the perp made the decision that led to his death. In the end, it is up to the "mentally Ill" person to make the decision either way. And if the I-65 guy hadn't encountered LEO, this too could have been his situation: https://www.wsmv.com/news/goodlettsville-family-of-4-dead-after-father-admits-he-snapped/article_5b742bc6-8043-11ec-8295-af279e02e0ab.html
  14. The original video showed the guys arm move and then the additional shots were fired, The decommissioning is BS IMO, you fire to eliminate a threat, the threat was not over to the observer, and I would have done the same thing in his position. The additional shots made no difference to the perp surviving this incident, so it is all about the optics, but they are pandering to the wrong side of this.
  15. My question are; where did he get the guns? Are they stolen? I wonder if this is connected to the FTCKY guys that got popped for the same thing?
  16. As I stated before if they want to catch poachers, then being more proactive when they receive reports would be a start. But if it is the land owner they suspect, then look for probable cause and get a warrant, if it is not the land owner, ask for permission. If asked I would gladly let them get poachers off my land, if they suspected me, again, ask I would gladly let you come take a look. I think something similar is what got this started, they arrested the landowner for destruction, or stealing the cameras, on his land.
  17. There are a few big names that have joined Gettr, Rumble, and other platforms due to their content being censored or demonetized. But I agree it will take a concerted effort for these platforms to break the monopoly, but this is the best time for it to happen as more and more people get fed up with their policies.
  18. How about they move their pages to Gettr.com instead.
  19. It's the forum software, it should be able to display these, but a setting may need to be set for this file extension. My windows based tablet can natively display these, but has to be downloaded first. What's funny is that apple's files can just have the extension changed, like from .heic to .jpg with no format change and the picture will work everywhere. Same with their music files, they can be changed from .m4a to .mp3 and most players that don't support apple will play them.
  20. Dang @gregintenn, didn't know you were that connected. Ammunition plant to open near Texarkana
  21. Until we secure the voting process, it is a dangerous game proposing a Convention of States, where they can vote to abolish the 2A instead.
