At your age you can walk into any gun shop and buy a gun if you can pass the background check at that time. If you are clean it comes back very quickly, five minutes or so. Or you can buy a gun from an individual in TN. Take your HCP class and what you mention to the Drivers License office. They'll take your picture and set up the paperwork for your finger prints. You do not need to own a gun to take the class at many places as they will provide the gun, you supply the ammunition. Keep your gun secure and separate from the ammunition when transporting it. Might want to postpone buying the gun until you decide what you may want to carry. JMO, oldogy

They call it buckshot because you "usta-could" shoot bucks with it. I think some states, some areas mandate buckshot for hunting deer as to avoid the problem of the projectile of a rifle traveling too far. oldogy

Oh, this old man does like the sound and smell of a nice fire in the big fireplace. I have lots of good hardwood for harvest on my place and enjoy splitting the wood by hand. I talked with a couple folks about getting a wood burning insert and both told me that they have sold wood burning inserts and then a few or several years later wind up selling the same folks a gas burning log set....."Folks tend to dislike the work and dirt associated with burning wood after a while." So as long as the DW and I enjoy it and as long as I am able I'll stay with the open, inefficient wood burning fireplace. I can see the conversion to gas years down the pike. Yeah, as suggested to the OP, I would have the chimney inspected and cleaned by a competent chimney person before burning a wood fire therein. oldogy

I go by it frequently on my way to Sunday brunch:) Sometimes I even come back by it if I don't come through the woods on the way home. oldogy

1 3/4" on my deck rail here in Monroe Co. Roads clear. Started to melt around 11:00 hours. oldogy

Isn't that how Barny Fife carried? oldogy

The word to do anything official like turn in your guns would probably not reach back into these hills for a loooooooooong time. Like after I am long dead. oldogy

That thing would not have survived much cold weather. Yeah, you did it a favor. oldogy

I did this about an hour ago. Corker and Alexander both need reminders. Thanks for posting here. oldogy

1.All American Gun Shop in Athens has one scheduled. 423-745-1047 2.Fugate Firearms in Calhoun has them scheduled periodically.423-336-2675 3.Chilowee Rod and Gun Club, Riceville, has them scheduled periodically. Any of these would be easy run from Chattanooga. oldogy

No. Enjoy all your days. They are limited. oldogy

Still got mine. oldogy

I would certainly separate firearms and ammo as much as possible as to comply with all laws. End of the day result would depend on the LEO who may stop you and the reason for the stop. Some would act on the reason for the stop and others might additionally make your life very unpleasant. oldogy

Sorry to hear of your bad luck. Question: Did the tractor have a stock, original equipment spark arresting type muffler? oldogy, who plays with antique tractors

Some folks become completely irrational when it comes to guns anywhere near kids. Hard to understand. oldogy

Well, I am out of town and late to the party. Most of my thoughts have been expressed. Total BS. oldogy

I hope he fails:D oldogy

Yep, big choppers are cool. Nice pictures, thanks. oldogy

Most every one since 1960. I may have missed an off year while in the service and in college. Sometimes it has been the lesser of the two evils but I do my best to vote. oldogy

One fine unit. What year? oldogy

[quote name='clsutton21;. I swapped the tire positions and it did make it pull to the opposite side' date=' but it wasn't near as severe as the way it was originally. [/quote'] Sounds to me like you found your problem. A bad belt will cause this and you can not detect it in the tire with out a tire fault detector and I have not seen one of them in years. oldogy
