You would think that with all the destruction hogs do, there would be land owners running ads for free hog hunting all over the place. But everywhere you look, it's hundreds of $ to do even fair chase hog hunting, it's become a big business. Of course there are public areas to hunt, but unless you are a local it would be a hit or miss situation. Of course, we here in TN will get an opportunity soon to have our own local hog hunting if the hog population keeps going as it has in other states. I wonder what TWRA will do once we are overrun?

There are soft body armor panels sized to fit backpacks out there. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/11/07/florida-school-lets-parents-buy-bulletproof-panels-for-students-to-put-in-backpacks/?utm_term=.2f75d626290f

Text, email, phone, and BOS or no BOS, if I want it I'll use any means of communication the seller wants. Of course I don't deal with any sketchy people so have not been scammed, but, I do take precautionary measures to ensure a safe equitable trade. A simple timestamped picture showing the SN is proof enough of ownership, I take them for insurance purposes. I too keep track of who I do business with, but have only done one BOS. E-mail or text, even PM traffic can be saved to prove the transaction took place.

I heard the tail end of that as well, and was not surprised Haslam opposed it, he seems to be very anti 2A, opposing many gun friendly bills.

No, there is no season on hogs, not really. They can be hunted incidental to hunting other big game, and land owners can hunt the year round. You can hunt only during daytime, and only with the weapons allowed for big game season during the season. Land owners may file for an exception to hunt at night with spotlights, hunt over bait etc., but the normal hunter is pretty limited.

I think you would be better off trying to find a place out in TX or FL if you want to hunt hog on the cheap. I have been discussing hunting laws here in TN lately and mostly it seems that there are a few places to hunt them legally, because you have to be the landowner during non deer seasons, and during deer season it's limited on where you can hunt them.

We had a company accept a contract for a few thousand pairs of shorts, only to subcontract them out of the country. Apparently, they were justified in doing so since they delivered some out of their shop. No hassle unless you want to become a prime vendor, or get a product listed with a National Stock Number (NSN). Most Mid, to Large vendors (and some small) are already authorized vendors through GSA Advantage which you can order small quantities through. The problem is that the military can't sustain large orders for many textile items so they have to depend on the civilian market as well. Take Southwest Motor Sports, they sold us flight gloves (Maxgrip) and we at first kept them in business. But after outfitting all our crews, the orders dwindled to around 6-8 hundred pair a year. So then they sold out to Camelbak and little by little they stopped producing the glove commercially unless a large, at least 800 pairs, order came in. Now, since we don't need such a large quantity, have to get a new vendor. In comes the Berry Amendment, which bites in the butt at every turn because it sometimes doubles the price of an item or it just can't be acquired without a waiver.

No, if there were American made ones, we would HAVE to buy them.

Well, it's complicated, I'm in supply (demand side), and it's near impossible to find Berry Amendment compliant clothing anymore. So once we exhaust the search for a USA made item, we have to request a waiver to purchase ones made outside the U.S.

So how do you propose we convince them? I've written my share of reps, as I'm sure many here have as well, and yet we get inaction, and worse, active anti-gun actions to stop decent bills.

If more people start realizing these acts for what they are, and act accordingly at the voting booths then maybe we can get better laws passed, or removed (preferably).

Elections are in November, this is nothing but politics. For the Rs, an NRA vote, for the D's, a "For the children" vote.

Well, why put an expensive buttstock like that on an AR upper unless you have to? And since it must be sold as a rifle lower, why waste $200 on doing an SBR on it? So with the pistol version, you have a lower you can do a rifle upper on, and change out the stock.

Yea, but the problem is sticking a 10.5" barrel atop one of those things. Used correctly those braces can be quite accurate.

You guys planning to move to CA or NYC? I can't think of a reason to go to a stock like that unless I had to. The pistol version I can see for those that don't like the current braces available ,but the rifle??

These MSM guys confuse me, they edit their stories and many time don't put what was edited. The first reports I read didn't mention the headshot, just a pass through and injuring others with a ricochet. And now this story has: So there is an eye witness saying "holding" the gun, and thinking it was a toy. How can that be when it was a dropped backpack?

I rotate between a G23 and an XD Sub, both in .40, but if I had to go to one, my G23 would win out. It's been with me for around 25-30 years, wears night sights and a laser and I can engage targets well at SD ranges night and day.

I think one guy shot another using such a camo/decoy this last year.

Real BP doesn't breakdown, if stored properly, I'd use it.

Different shooting, the head injury was here in TN I think. There is still a kid in the hospital in TN, not sure if it's a head injury though. The one that died in Vandy was a head injury. This one, the shot hit one, went through and grazed another, the rest were injured in the mayhem of running away.

Yea, just read that as well, but it was a whole box with two rounds having fingerprints. The other thing I read is that the law is only for pistol ammo, not rifle.

According to another site, he had an 06 FFL, but they found his fingerprints on armor piercing ammo in the hotel room. So now they have to prove that he actually reloaded them and that they are indeed AP ammo, of which M855/SS109 is not.

In this instance it is two factors that keep it from blowing up, she's a lefty, and a woman. I am actually surprised nobody has come out and blamed him for it yet. The #meetoo crowd will stay silent, it does not fit their narrative of abused women by men in power.

Ah, my bad. So what the heck does it do?

I seem to recall that 18 and over can possess a gun in the home, afield or in the car, but have to be 21 to buy or get a CCW permit.
