OLDNEWBIE

I recently found this out and tried doing that on this change out. Time will tell if it helps.

Welcome, as stated earlier an AR is not an assault rifle. That's anti gun speak. And while on the subject don't forget the underappreciated mini14.

Greetings!

Is it just me or do headlight bulbs burn out faster than they used to? My 2014 Outback is a major PITA to change them. I got 7 months out of the last ones. SYLVANIA seems to be the only ones easily available. I bought the next step up from the basic ones last time. This time I bought the cheapest. My Hyundai went through bulbs 3 times a year but they were a snap to change. One reason is my wife drives with lights on in daytime for safety but 7 months?? My 07 Focus has the original lights!! I swear it's such a pain on the outback I'd pay 4× the price if I could guarantee a couple of years out of them.

The one they passed in Oregon had a very narrow definition of Relative if I remember right. And it didn't make anything easier because you used to be able to transfer without going through an FFL for anybody but a minor. Don't remember much about the Manchin Toomy law but it didn't make it.

I have my Dad's old 1932/33 Remington model 33 now. It's as old as him and was his Father's. Bore is pristine, action is smooth. Barrel and receiver has average pitting for an antique and bluing is nearly gone. Just a kid's single shot depression era rifle with little value but pretty cool. I'm pretty sure it took down it's share of squirrels and small critters back then.

That wouldn't be good enough for the anti-gun Democrats. It would ever so slightly decrease bad hombres getting guns but not help any with their real goal of disarming honest citizens. It would be nice though for me to have an easy way to see if a person you are selling to is legal to buy. As you say, no serial numbers or make model. Just input buyers name to see if he's a go or no go. I'd even be o.k. if it cost me 5 or so Dollars. And of course it should be Voluntary.

The thing that stinks about this kind of law besides making transfers between friends and family a pita, a secret gun registry and and an expense is.... Lets say you have a situation where your family member/spouse is getting suicidal/ homicidal or just acting crazy suddenly and you want to quickly remove a gun or two from the home. You can't just drop them off at a friends anymore. That would be illegal. What about a gun owner who travels for work or is in the Military and wants to leave guns with a family member? The gun grabbers don't give a crap about that, they just want the public disarmed at any cost. More laws, more hassle and threat of legal problems =less and less people wanting guns every year.

An updated version of a break barrel revolver in 38 special or even .22 Webly based auto ejecting of spent cases preferred. I think India was producing something like this a few years back.

Another 70s memory fades away. "Love Will Keep Us Together" must have been on the radio 24/7 when I was a young punk. Not sure if I liked it or not as a kid or now?, but I know every note and lyric by heart because of the massive airplay. RIP Captain!

I usually keep the lights and decorations up until New Years but this year I ain't feelin it!, so....... Changed up the Avatar to match my pessimistic mood including mushroom cloud. I'm sure I'll get back into my normal realistic and indifferent mood a few weeks into the new year, with a little excitement here and there to mix it up of course. Hope you all had a Happy Christmas and be safe on New Years anyways!

I prefer story over action unless it's a war flick. Even then too much action bores me. Hope it's as good as it seems, I'm gonna try and see it over the Holidays.

Welcome, Love to hear pro-gun pro-freedom folks moving to TN. I'm a West Coast refugee myself.

The problem around here is no one got the memo that drinking and driving isn't acceptable anymore. I really need a side hustle though until my business grows a bit more. Uber would be ideal but not sure how many Uber drivers Cookeville would support. I Guess Tech students use it alot. Also at the moment I drive an 07 Focus. It's in better than average shape but not sure it's Uber worthy.

Let us know how it's working out please. I'm looking for a side gig.

It's newer with the thicker barrel in stainless.

My mini gets consistent 3" groups at 100 yds with American Eagle 55gr. Because of what I hear on average accuracy of many basic ARs..... I've never felt a need to "upgrade" to one.

Tis the season!

I didn't know he was a total anti-socialist towards the end when he died of TB. Lot's of speculation on what he'd think of the state of politics today. He was pro gun though, thought it was everyone's duty to be able to handle a rifle. I tend to believe he would think that important if he were alive today. Especially when seeing the legislation being attempted in NY and the progress of intrusive technology in our lives. Social media is akin to Big Brother, albeit self inflicted it is becoming harder and harder to avoid. Now with smart homes and the likes of Alexa as well as a press that is little more than an arm of the Progressive/Democrat Party....... There is no doubt the fusion of technology and propaganda has caught up with his dystopian vision written all those years ago. I doubt this legislation will pass at this time but perhaps in the near future, if people keep trading freedom and privacy for temporary comforts and perceived safety.

Another twist on the same theme. Clip from Fahrenheit 451. Destroy language that causes people to be unhappy or dislike one another. In a few generations people wont have the verbal means to argue or even the ability to think negative thoughts against one another, or better yet.... Authority

Under the proposed legislation, law enforcement officials could investigate "commonly known profane slurs used or biased language used to describe race, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation; threatening health or safety of another person, or an act of terrorism." Double plus good New York! So who exactly is going to be investigating the bias or motives of the investigators? Seems like they are lumping in the politically incorrect and culturally ignorant or insensitive with terrorism and death threats. Another step to stifle free thought by taking away citizens rights who don't go along with Newspeak. I wonder if questioning the push for gender neutral pronouns or a silly joke about a Nationality will get you red flagged now? Or even not going along with Global warming being all man made or something that can be reversed?, I mean that's a deadly threat to the whole planet! Orwell is an author/prophet that the left and right try to claim as their own.....He was in some ways a mild Socialist but........ There is no argument! On this subject the left cannot claim he would be in their camp by any stretch.

Not in Oregon anymore. A loan is a transfer and requires you go through an FFL unless I misunderstood what all the fuss was about before I moved away. Close family might have been an exception.

Possibly but it's actually the truth. He has a bunch of my things including some guns. I've moved around so much it's just been easier to have him hang on to my stuff. I kinda studied up on it a bit before I flew a gun I left with him in FL to OR awhile back. Couldn't find anything against it in the Law at the time. This is a common situation for Military personnel and people who travel for work for extended times. Transfer laws in OR now make this impossible among friends and difficult with family members. You can't even lend a gun now there so you sure can't store one for somebody unless it's a wife or son if I remember. Hopefully laws in FL haven't changed since my last visit but I will check it out for sure beforehand. And for sure, if not sure.... Loose lips sink ships.

Inherit is the wrong term I think. He gave them to me when I lived in FL a long time ago. I just never had a need or place to store all of them at the time so he held them for me. I still have a few more to get next time I drive down.

My Dad in FL gave me a few decades ago. He keeps them with him and every once in awhile when I visit I take one back with me.
