Reporting 1 dead, two injured. The news aired the sound recording of the incident. Sounded like 3 shots fired to me.

Nashville News Media reporting a school shooting at Antioch High School. Reporting 3 people shot, one being the shooter who shot himself. Not reporting any deaths yet. Reported this school is the most violent of all schools in the Metro School System. More incidences of violence, in this school, last school year. Edited to add; I guess one could say Antioch is a suburb of Nashville located within Davidson County.

Prayer for you this morning.

Reading a book "Defensive Living". Discussing our awareness, the authors gave an example of 4 different people who were all in the same terrorist attack while stopped in a intersection at a stop light. First was a lady who was driving her brand-new car and was sitting in traffic at the stop light. She observed a man walking toward her passenger door with an AK 47 in hand. He stopped and looked directly at her, then went around the car and walked up to her driver's window and turned and shot a man in the car beside her in the next lane. All she thought about was she hoped he did not scratch her new car. Next guy was a politician being driven to an engagement. They were turning in the turn lane, and his thought was someone was making a movie. Next was a paramedic in a car a couple cars lengths back. He seen the glass shatter and his thought was, oh must be a wreck, so he grabbed his emergency bag and began to exit his car. Last guy was in the turn lane behind the politician. He was a highly trained intelligence officer who had been stationed overseas in a dangerous terrorism assignment for months. Had his radio blasting, windows rolled up, and in a state of total unawareness. Sit there and watched the whole incident, then it finally dawned on him what was happening. He quickly turned to the left and got outta dodge. Trainer says it just goes to show how people can watch the same incident and come up with very different conclusions on what they were seeing based on their different experiences in life. All 4 people were totally not in line with defensive living awareness. I must say, at times, I am exactly as these 4 people as far as defensive awareness goes. Something to think about guys and gals!

From the pics that rifle looks flawless. What a find! Love my Henry lever 38/357. It is my family's favorite rifle. They want to shoot it every time they come in for a visit.

Wonder the price point?

Great news DeepSouth. Praying your health returns to you and for your complete healing. Sorry for the rough time you have experienced. Edited to add; Jesus has helped me in the past "numerous" times.

Just purchased Winchester Bonded Nickle Plated Jacketed H P 147 grain Self Defense ammo 500 rounds for 239.00 from SG Ammo. Free Shipping but plus Tax. Good price for Self Defense ammo. I like a heavier bullet in my self-defense ammo. Edited to add; I also get Winchester White box 115 gr RN for practice. Usually pay 259.00 per thousand tax free shipping form S G Ammo. they ship UPS to my door usually in 3 days.

I have holster mounted to the walls in my cabinet, in the kitchen, and have others stashed in areas we spend most of our time. One is within arm's reach of "Big Red" all the time. Big Red is the name my grandson gave my Lazy Boy. Like I stated I do carry on person after getting dressed. I have these guns for me when I am in my PJs, and for the misses as she does not carry on person although she has her CCP. She carries when we travel in our RV. It is a personal thing, stashing firearms. We are empty nesters. Edited to add; I will say the best thing to do is to harden your entry to your home before anything happens. I have also lit up the outside of our home really well and keep lights on, at night, both inside and outside. All my windows have storm windows plus the house windows have nails on each side of the middle divide that can only be removed from the inside. We also have added hardened Larson triple lock storm doors with substantial locks and double pain glass with the 3M in-between the double glass panes so one can't bust through the glass to enter. All this is done so if a determined intruder tries to force entry, they will need to make a lot of noise so my little yappy dog will wake us and "HOPEFULLY" we will have a little time to prepare. Also installed a driveway alarm that chimes when cars come up our long driveway. This plan is better than no plan at all. It cost real money and takes a lot of labor to really harden one's home. I look at as investment in personal safety, but IMO it is necessary this day-in-time. My experience of being chased/attacked in my front year, by 3 thugs, a few years back, gave me a whole new perspective. Young men beating up old physically impaired men. Don't want it to happen again, if I can help it. YMMV

I keep guns staged in my house but when we travel, I lock them in the safe or take them. I pocket carry on person most of the time even at home.

If a manager don't perform, he is outta-there! Granted some are better than others. I have met the guys you are talking about MCM. Makes me not want to go back, however in the end it is all about money.

Same here in Murfreesboro 3".

I know it will deter me if I see a laser dot on my chest at night.

Started snowing, in Lascassas ( Rutherford County), about 6:45. coming down steady and the yard and road has a coat on it now. if it keeps this up all day we are in for a big snow.

I went the Mossberg mdl 500 way. Had a youth model 20 Ga with a side saddle that held 6 rounds and 5 in the tube. It came with an 18 1/2' brl so I purchased a 28" brl for it and gave it to my grandson. I put the plug back in it so it would be legal to hunt with as it only holds 3 rounds in it now. He duck hunts with it. I have a mdl 500 in 12 Ga with a side saddle and 18 1/2" brl in my gun safe now. My 500 has an extended tube on it and it holds 8 rounds on board now. Fills my needs in the shot gun world.

Same for Rutherford County. 4-7 Edited to add; made a large pot of chili yesterday. We are ready????

I purchased a belly band for both my wife and daughter. I doubt either can find it. Didn't work for them.

Great looking revolver. Enjoy

Every time we go to Crossville, we always stop to get brisket for lunch. IT IS GREAT. I preferer sliced. Banana pudding isn't bad to go with the sandwich.

Procured ours (milk and bread LOL) on Friday. Four times fuel points when shopping on Friday at Kroger. My granddaughter uses my fuel points so she can drive to Columbia for her College studies. Helps he with a little break on the price of gasoline. Usually get her .80 to 1.00 off per gallon every week. Anything helps when in college.

I just finished building a small deck on the back of my house. I had material left over so I had 2 tables that I made 20 years ago. I decided to clean them with a high-pressure washer, then apply Thompsons Water Sealer. While I was at it, I decided to replace the top on them. I had some Trek flooring left, from the deck, so it installed new tops on both tables. They looked good afterwards. The old tops were made with Yellow Wood and had become weathered and rough. Yesterday I walked to the range with he intention of practicing some. I have several spots that have very thin grass and when it is wet, I have a mud problem. I stood there for a few minutes and then remembered that my son-in-law had previously brought me a load of gravel to spread on the driveway. I had him dump a small pile, of the chip size gravel, for future use. I got my wheelbarrow and proceeded to haul loads of grave and put a thin coat of gravel all around the newly remodeled table area so we would not be forced to stand on mud while shooting in wet weather. I also installed an angled "rifle wing" on the shooting range table so we could put my Led Sled on it and scoot up without being in a strain when firing. I am a righty, so I lengthened the right side of the tabletop and proceeded to add 17" of additional angled tabletop to it. Now I just set my seat over next to the extension and am in total comfort while mounting the rifle and looking through the scope. The extension works rather well for rifle shooting and is a total compliment to the Led Sled. Now I can comfortably go out in any weather condition and not worry about cleaning mud from my shoes or messing up my wife's carpet afterwards. Improvements are always satisfying. OH, the things we do when in a state of boredom. I was home by myself, and all our holiday company has gone back to their homes. We had 24 eat at our home on New Years Day. It was an occasion in honor of my sisters-in-law 80th b-day party. My wife had taken SIL to the shoe store to purchase a b-day gift for her. I slept good last evening guys. "We Were Tired!" I am sore this morning but have a good feeling of accomplishment so I thought I would share it with you guys. What did you guys do yesterday? Edited to add content

It is a beautiful revolver. My 44 mag was a safe queen, and I owned it for years. Everyone enjoyed shooting it and was amazed at its power. Good price, purchase it. Always be a respectable revolver and will not diminish in value. Sound investment.

Happy New Year to you guys. Having a party at my house with, possible, 24 guest. It is my S-I-Law's 80th b-day. Lots of family coming. Working my butt off. Hope they enjoy the effort!!!! She was the first baby born in 1945, in the Rutherford County Hospital in Murfreesboro TN.

My experience they want as much for a used gun as a new one, sometimes even more. I am not a collector. Sometimes I see police trade-ins and they are decent prices.

I purchased the Springfield Armory Saint 223/556 AR last fall. I wanted an all-metal AR. Did it just because I could and wanted it to show new shooters who I introduce to shooting. Wanted them to see what the news media has demonized. I will even let them fire the Saint. Don't want them to be afraid of an AR. Edited to add; I want them to understand the AR is not a demon, but it is the one who pulls the trigger who is responsible for carnage. Have a church friend who has 3 boys, and he is going to allow me to introduce them to shooting soon.
