What Carl really needs is that Rocket Launcher back. lol

All our guys do are make calls and check email. Not too much stress on our mobile devices. Except for the physical abuse they take.

Thanks!

I just refuse to let the employees have Apple devices. Everyone can like what they want, but I am not an Apple fan. I have been using them since Apple IIES and have always had issue with Apple's policies and processes. Just my opinion.

LOL, Thanks.

Sounds like great meals this winter. Deer stew anyone? lol

And the $35 one Apple sells breaks in no time. The Mapco knock off might last for years. lol

Been a long time since I lived down there. Back then I had 13 acres to shoot on, so I never even thought about ranges. I see this one in Oliver Springs. Never used it though. http://www.windrockshootingrange.com No idea if the fire hurt this one. never used it either. www.gatlinburgsportsman.com Online list. Not sure how up to date this is, but is all of TN. http://traderscreek.com/outdoors/tennessee-shooting-ranges-gun-clubs/

One thing about ranges in my area is that most everyone has somewhere the can shoot free. Either the back yard, 'the back 40', or just a friend's place. Even the national forest has an outdoor range that is $3 a day for a lane. You can shoot a .50 there if you want. The ranges around get pressure from people protesting noise (even for indoor ones) and the whole 'I don't want it in my neighborhood' attitude. Really it ends up being a few sour grapes that ruin it all for everyone. Because TN is such a big diverse state, laws that make a little sense in Nashville or Memphis end up getting passed and enforced in small town TN. Even if they really don't apply.

I bit the bullet and paid for one. Thanks. Got to gather a list of items and get an ad up.

Thanks

Howdy, back at ya.

I will keep that in mind. I have a buddy that gave me a name, but I have not tried to check out his work yet. Nice to have options because some guys get really backed up.

From my experience if you have this long of an issue going on, then it needs to be "escalated". Call back in, identify the issue and order number very calm and polite. Tell the operator that this has been going on forever and you would like to "escalate to their supervisor." In most call centers these are magic words that can't be denied. I should know, I have worked in several. If the supervisor tells you they can't help, the ask them the same thing. At some point, you might have to wait on a call back, but there is someone that can help you. If they say there is no one else to talk to, ask to talk to ANTHONY ACITELLI - PRESIDENT AND CEO. You won't get to but you might get his secretary team to call you back. Some companies have the magic word rule on "talk to the President" too. There is no way that they have no stock (of stocks lol) and there is no reason for them to wait to ship them to be "fair." They are just shoveling crap. If this fails, write a letter that details everything. Mail it with tracking ($3-$4) and fax it to the fax number. Make it attention to ANTHONY ACITELLI - PRESIDENT AND CEO of Taurus Other names to drop are Vincent Abrams Senior Marketing Manager Carlos Vazquez-Pausa Director of National Sales Customer Care Call Center Call Toll Free: (800) 948-8029 Monday thru Friday - 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM (EST) Phone: (305) 474-0401 Fax: (305) 623-7506 Mailing Address: 16175 NW 49 Avenue Miami Lakes, FL 33014 If you do Facebook (I don't) then write a review on their page. Almost at the top of the reviews I saw one for what sounded like the same issue. Make enough noise (politely but strongly) and someone high enough up will decide to fix it so you will stop costing them marketing dollars.

That is both disturbing and encouraging...

Yeah I am already liking the vibe here better than several other places I have tried.

Thanks, That had been the way I was leaning. Just checking because I mentioned it to someone outside of here about doing a trade and they acted like I had a second head. I just wish I had bought some guns back when I had more cash and you could get things like Enfields for $75. Hindsight

Ok. I did not know how people were about shipping here. Sounds like a lot of good miles and memories. Cars wise I am a little short on ability. I just never got dug in under the hood. Dad always wanted me to focus on school. He just wanted something better for me. So I will have to enlist some labor. That makes the redo a lot more costly. Of course I do not want to screw it up. Except for the bench seat and radio, i think I have all the original parts. Still an inline 6 with 3 on the tree.

Peer pressure... I blame per pressure.....

Maybe that is it. My travel is limited by schedule, so that makes a meet hard. When I am down that way work or family is involved and both preclude picking up a gun. Did you buy them shipped, or drive to get them? My budget is so thin that when I do get a a new gun, it is going no where but to the range. Always was the same in my family growing up, guns came in but they never left. Nice one. Yeah it always seems like something or other takes the time or money away. I grew up in the '56, so I want my son to get to ride in it too. Hopefully he is not old enough to drive it before he does. lol

I am trying to expand my firearms collection. I grew up shooting, but was out of it for years due to family, money, schedule, etc. So I restarted small and the budget is thin. It is going slow. Not many people I deal with on a daily basis trade guns. Most of them have a much more liquid budget and just buy them. Then they rarely ever get rid of one. So anyone got any tips on trading other things for guns? Gun parts, optics, electronics, gift cards.. I have built up some stuff that I am not currently using and it might be nicer to trade than sell. The bills always get paid, but still extra cash just seems to disappear into the household spending before I use it. I see people posting stuff like this sometimes on places like Armslist (don't really like that place) but it is hard to know if anyone ever gets with them. Plus a lot of FT ads are looking for specific gun to gun trades. I just wanted to throw it out there for comment. In no way is this an ad. I just wanted to see if I should even bother before I spent the money on a premium membership so that I can post and respond to ads here. Plus I don't want to offend anyone here if everyone thinks that is crap. So what is the etiquette and your guys opinion on it? Thanks

Thanks. Yeah like I said to Raoul, when I first started watching the classifieds, I would have sworn most of the people were from Nashville. Seems like their are several of us from the Tricities area hanging around here. Looks like you might be a keyboard jockey like me. What model truck is that in the background of your profile page? I have a 1956 Chevy Stepside that I have been trying to get started on fixing up.

+1 to that

I don't disagree with a single thing you are saying. I just think the first step is to stay aware and take actions that minimize the necessity. I have had more than one near miss with mob violence over the years. In those instances, my gun was not an option due to location (like foreign soil as a civilian). I avoided them by being aware and making an exit away from the issue before it came to a head. Anyway, everyone's opinion is their own. It comes down to you feeling like you are armed appropriately for the worst case scenario you might face. That is based within the budget you can afford. Goes back to "Any gun is better than no gun, but some guns are better than others" Biggest question is --- SoldMyHat, did you decide and buy anything?

Funny how wives are that way. Mine has enough craft supplies to fill a Hobby Lobby, but if I bring home some scrap lumber from work to use later, I am hoarding. When she needs something fixed that my "junk" pile has a piece for she never seems to mind then. Plus I can't remember the last time I needed to buy bolts, screws, or nails. Good thing she never looks at my ammo stock. lol
