If you are talking about the requirement to have a REAL ID to fly...The new deadline for REAL ID enforcement is October 1, 2021.

Black Water by the Doobie Brothers.

For any retired LEOs on here, Tennessee now offers a free Retired LEO Lifetime HCP. I just got mine. At my age, I wasn't going to spring for the fees for a lifetime permit, but, for the time to complete a little paperwork, it was worth it for free.

You are right. I have a LEOSA credential, which is supposed to enable me to legally carry in all 50 states, but the fact is some states still dont want to recognise it. Heck, some wont even let off duty current officers carry.

I think I've got too much time and money invested in 556 plus Im too old to change now, lol, but I've been seeing alot lately about 6.8mm. I think there are some great 6.8 ARs to be had right now, but I read that the military is currently testing three 6.8 mm prototypes by General Dynamics, Textron and Sig Sauer, and plan to pick one to start fielding to troops in 2022. Watched a few videos and reviews of the cartridge and its pretty impressive. Overcomes many of the limitations of the 5.56 as well as they say outperforming the 7.62 but at less weight than the 7.62. I saw one on TV last night on the history or military history channel that was a 6.8 AR with a 8 inch barrel designed for protection details. Of course, that one would be an SBR.Looked awesome. I know some of y'all on here have been into 6.8 for a while.

Im always a day late and a dollar short, lol.

I looked at it just now and it says 73.79. Did i miss the deal or am i doing something wrong?

My mom, who lived through the depression as a child, and later became a single parent raising 2 kids alone, taught me to conserve and stockpile when you can. The prepping concept added fuel to that, but alas, I never made much headway. However, the single area I was good at was in toilet paper. Lol. We prefer Scot or Scot type generics and only because i hate other brands/styles, I always keep a couple huge pkgs in reserve. So when the \drought' hit, I did break down and but a big pkg or two of whatever was available when it was, but still only keep that for emergencies and still only use my beloved Scot! If i could only get that good with food and water items...

Congrats, AJ!

Just watched Outpost. True story of the attack on kamdesh. Clint Eastwood’s son was in it. Awesome movie. I had read many accounts of the story before but had not seen the movie til today. It’s on Netflix.

Onc, when i was a little boy of around 4-5, i was on the other end of a fast speed police pursuit. I was at a bar with my alcoholic dad and uncle. They were inaside drinking and i was in the backseat of the car with my puppy. As we left the bar, my dad and uncle stopped and did some meanness, and i saw my dad whip some guys butt really bad. As we left there, a little while later the police started chasing us. This was in Soddy-Daisy Tennessee. IIRC< it was the old Hamilton County Sheriff's Office chasing us. I remember sliding from door to door in the back seat, thrilled to pieces. holding tight to my puppy as we crashed thru a sawhorse set up across a road. We pulled way ahead of the chasers and slid sideways into my grannys dirt driveway in the country. They bailed and ran for the woods. A few minutes later the cops got there and gave chase on foot but didnt catch them that time. I know this isnty a good story, but at the time, I was young and thought it was just grand! I was excited! lol.

Not a chase, but kinda funny story about speed limit enforcement. Many years ago I was stationed at Thule Air Base in northern Greenland, an arctic tundra place above the arctic circle. Anyway, no traffic toi speak of there, but the snow packed roads were dangerous so speed limit enforcement was really important as folks would often drive dangerously. Anyway, we only had one speed gun and it was often broken. When it broke we'd have to ship it to the states to get repaired. ANyway, all the Americans and Danes on base knew what the speed gun was and watched for us using it. They knew we didn't have the newer car mounted devices. Anyway, several times when the radar gun was down, I would set up at the popular speeding place and when i vehicle came by i thought was speedin g, I would hold my leather cased motorola portable radio out the window pointed at the vehicle. They would usually immediately visibly slow down, and those that didnt i would pull over and give them a verbal warning, lol.

Nope. I remember him posting about some medical issues. I too hope he's ok.

Although I did not agree with the bump stock , I did kinda see their point in banning them. But the SBR and pistol brace makes even less sense. Even without the brace attached, the buffer tube could be used as a brace itself against the shoulder i would guess, almost as good as an add on brace. The lines between SBR and pistols in AR are so stupid as to be conflicting and nonsensical. The ATF has long issued stupid dulings that are not law but can be used to imprison folks, and issues stupid rulings that braces are ok, that also don't have the force of law. WTH? Its time someone reined in the ATF sharply, or disbanded it altogether.

I picked up one that looks like that at a gunshow at teh Nashville fairgrounds years ago. Mine came with some stuff stowed in the handle, fishing line, hooks, etc...I never used it but i still have it somewhere...maybe in the car emergency kit. My go to fixed blade though is a Gerber LMF II Infantry.

Big fan of Mac Davis and liked Helen Reddy as well.

I think he's afraid of rampant voter fraud stealing the election form him when he makes those kinds of statements. I like him, but I do wish he'd just shut up sometimes. I think he's turned out much better than I expected to be honest. He wasn't my first choice, but he has stood up to the liberals for the most part.

Im not sure whether or not they 'should' ask those questions, but i must admit its interesting to see the stats on what the demographics are for HCP holders in the state...

Willis68 is a good guy to deal with and the Adamas is an awesome knife!

Ive been interested in Ham for many years. I have an older grundig Satelite 700 multiwave radio that picks up most everything, ham and shortwave included. I keep putting off the license. I used to be afraid of learning code but i dont think thats required anymore so Im not sure why i still procrastinate. I need to get on this.

Forgot to ask which test you took?

How hard wasthe test?

This is doable. Plus as you make more you can increase your contribution. The real secret is NEVER touching it. I have a few friends that did that and they are sitting pretty now. I knew better but I didn't do it so i'm not as pretty now, lol. One thing that irks me though, is that I suspect that SS would come close to working if they didnt tap into it for non SS issues and maybe tightened up on the SS disability for some so called disabled people. We all know folks that are truly able to work but have managed to convince others that they cannot.

I EDC so much dang stuff that my pants will fall down, even with a good carry belt, so i had to get a few pairs of quality Perry suspenders. I got the ones that hook under the belt, as the clip on ones always come loose. WHen I was in the military, I used a harness to help hold my web belt up so this works similarly. My normal wear in the suspenders over a tucked in T shirt with a loose overshirt worn untucked. This works well with either an IWB or OWB holster. Surprisngly comfortable. Here's the ones I like: https://www.duluthtrading.com/mens-perry-original-y-back-suspenders-50872.html?&srccode=GPSHPMN&chnl=ps_prospect_pla_mn&region=in_region&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqfz6BRD8ARIsAIXQCf0vVcZ-yVixehRHooqnlLLWe4AijaOrcg9BV4jQZerGQn39hEDNMjwaAmCKEALw_wcB
