That does sound cool, been drinking JD since I was 16 or so...yea I was a rebel. But I have yet to go up there to take a tour, I pass by but am always in a hurry to get to point B. I used to put ships in JD bottles, I liked them because they were square and easy to work with.

I voted to go back to the old system until a better one can be found. As one who perused the ads, it was a bit of a PITA sometimes getting to the advertisement instead of the discussion post. I am a visual shopper, I see a pic and I click on it to see the ad, but many times it was the discussion thread which then I would have to click on view ad to see the rest of the pics. Is there a way to do away with the discussion thread? Or is there no way to post to the ad thread, which I think is required?

To me there is no change in the law unless silencers come off the NFA. Before, silencers were illegal but, you had a defense if arrested if you/it had a tax stamp. Now, they are legal only if you have a text stamp. No stamp, still subject to arrest...unless it comes off the NFA.

I think you misunderstood the defense part, in TN law as written silencers are illegal unless you have a federal tax stamp. If that part wasn't written into the law, then silencers would be illegal in TN, period.

I guess if you spend enough time playing Call of Duty on your Nintendo you get to know a few things.

A guy in a news clip I seen this morning made a good point, no matter where you place the security perimeter at these events, there will be choke points that these terrorists will take advantage of. So while security may be expensive, I don't think it's all about $. I too accept the risk, but I face it well trained and armed; unlike most Europeans.

Only fished there once or twice due to the distance, but when I did I was amazed at the size of the sunfish I was catching. I had been stationed in Savannah GA so the bluegill and crappie were pretty small, when I got here and seen that the crappie had to be 10" I thought that was it for eating any crappie. But there I was pulling up bluegill and shell crackers pushing 10" and got my limit of crappie too along with a couple of keeper bass. All I have is a jon boat so I just went up the river a bit hitting the inlets on the way up and down going no further than 4 or 5 hundred yards, maybe a bit further. I put in at the first dock I seen, just this side of the river coming from Clarksville on the right hand side. I met of with a few boats coming from further up the river and most had about the same stories, good size fish everywhere. One thing though, careful about the end of the boat ramp, there was a big drop there last time and had to go into 4x4 to get back out with an empty trailer.

Yes, but above 5mw, just as the drones are above 55lbs. Most laser incidents involved standard laser pointers, albeit most are the new(er) green lasers, but under 5mw. The problem is really those mentally challenged individuals that do not think about or maybe care about what happens when they do stuff like that. No form of law or regulation will stop them from doing those things, and it is only the ones that are already willing to follow the rules that will be effected. On the same token, I think the FCC needs to be told to back off the FMRS band as well. But that's another whole ball of wax.

Hmmm, I wonder what they would say about martial arts as a self defense strategy? I bet you can use it as long as you don't make contact with your assailant

Never indicated Right vs hobby, just saying the arguments are alike. In that frame of reasoning, lasers should be banned/registered as well since more laser incidents have been reported than RC ones. There are many things that are not standardized, yet, it's up to the user to know his equipment, just like some guns won't fire without a magazine, many employ differing safety features. If I accidentally cause an issue, I should be held liable for said issue whether I intended to or if was just the way the equipment behaves. My particular drone goes back to the spot it took off from when signal is lost and as far as I know it does not have any avoidance built in so more than likely it will hit a tree before it gets back. Myself, I would prefer that I get to choose what it does when that occurs because in my case I would rather it just hover until I get within range again. I will test this feature in a large area to be sure, but I won't be taking any chances with it anyway. As with anything I do, I weight the risk/benefit of things and there is no way I will endanger anyone or their property just for a hobby. The most likely outcome for me is wrecked props from branches I fail to see crossing my fence line, or some animal taking offence at me violating its space.

Not buying it, sounds akin to the reasoning for gun control. While other models may be different than mine, mine will return back if signal is lost. The farthest I sent it is like 700ft horizontal, at around 10-15ft AGL, At airports, they should deploy jammers for rc frequencies, that way aircraft will be safer.

How so? As far as I know, before this was passed, there were no difference between hobbyists and pros except use and weight of the rc aircraft. Like many things, instead of punishing the act, they punish the instrument.

I registered when it kicked off, it's not a drone registration per se, you are the one that gets registered and use your reg# on any and all drones you buy. The bs part was that to be able to fly your drone, you had to always be able to see it. That limited you to pretty much only open fields unless you had a drone pilots licence which was darn near the same as a normal pilots licence in both time and $. I use mine to survey my fence line for fallen branches/trees so I can repair it, if I have to be in visual range, I might as well just walk the perimeter.

I'm out of touch I guess, Cobain is the only name I recognized, and him only barely.

And some still say the vote went the wrong way! Elections have consequences, and luckily the consequences may be in our favor this time. Now if Trump can only get a couple more on the SC bench...

I've seen that a time or two, I think it happens when the queen decides to go to a new place and they stop for the night (or day maybe). I had one by a deer stand once, I decided I didn't need to hunt there that day.

That goes both ways, there are plenty of blacks that get a pass because of the perceived discrimination they may of experienced. There are many "shops" that have a large percentage of blacks, but nobody complains, but let it be the opposite and all hell breaks loose. You remember the big to-do about the grammys, or the academy awards?

Wow, looking at your list I'm your polar opposite for the most part. But by my yardstick, I'm doing well, I'm retired military, and my body is not so broken that I can't hold down a job. Not rich by any means, but so far at 52 I have no monetary worries. Privileged? hardly, but I never let that stand in my way.

I'd love to score some lead at 40¢-60¢ a lb, I am going to have to start checking my scrapyards more often. @owejia you lucked out on that keel, many times boat keels are what ever lead they can get and most times it's not pure. I think 1600lbs would last my lifetime and then some.

While your statement is true, this one does sort of applies to all braces in so far as their interpretation of "use" and "makes" and "redesign". The shockwave, and most braces have their own ATF letter authorizing them as a brace, or at least as a non-stock. The original open letter never mentioned the Sig brace, although it described it so if it stood, I bet any brace fired from the shoulder would have fallen under that interpretation.

No worries, I like to keep my options open. So, do you have a jig setup or just freehand? I was thinking of finding a square, ie flat, blade for my oscillating saw to cut notches for a .308 bottle opener. But I think a jig of some sort is needed.

I'm glad you followed that, seemed to me that it kept flip flopping whether shouldering was legal or not. If I follow it correctly, using spacers may be construed as modifying the brace.

I think it was me; I see its for an oscillating saw, how do you set it up for case conversion? The reviews on Amazon don't give it high marks, except for the guy that uses it for 300Blk, but says it cuts slower than the HF saw. I got those upgraded blades for the HF saw and they cut like butter, much better finish than the original. I don't know how long they will last as I have only did a few test cuts but so far so good.

Gore-Tex here as well, and with all the surplus out there you should be able to get one inexpensively. Under Armour (or the like) as a base layer helps, specially with shedding excess moisture quickly. When doing a lot of heavy physical activity in the rain, I would opt to just get wet and change into something dry afterward because anything that keeps you dry will also tend to overheat you. Light to medium activity, such as any range work, gore tex will handle that just fine, they have a wet weather gore tex and a cold weather gore tex as well so you can chose what weight to buy.

Same guy who also gave terrorists weapons? Or maybe the same one that gave drug dealers in Mexico Weapons? Or, maybe the same guy who allowed four of our people to die covering up weapons deal...wait a minute, was that the same guy?
