On a computer and not a mobile device, click the globe icon at the top of the screen next to your name. Click the Notification Settings link in the menu that drops down. Important Note: Email is historically a trick business for TGO because of idiots who have signed up for email only to then report us for sending spam. Fighting that is a full-time job and I've already got one of those, so I've given up on it. Since you're using Yahoo for email, you may not get our emails anyway. Gmail seems to work better.

They were offering a 10% off coupon for your first order if you signed up for their mailing list. Are they still doing that? I really want the new 508T V2. I know that Ike over at Big Tex Outdoors posted on his Facebook page earlier this week that he has zero idea when Holosun's new products are going to land and said that he is pretty sure the COVID-19 thing is slowing down every bit of their release schedule since they manufacture in China.

Happiness is a choice. What's keeping you happy these days?
TGO David posted a topic in General Chat
We need to remember the GOOD things in life! You know, it has never really taken much effort to find bad news if you wanted to look for it, but lately it seems like you have to actually expend effort to find good news. I think that's a shame. To be very honest, I think if we quarantined the world's media for 30 days or so and no one heard from them during that time, all of us would be a heck of a lot happier at the end of it. Since we can't force a media black-out, I figured we could use this thread to post about the things are keeping us HAPPY these days. Share a photo or just share a story. Let's keep it apolitical and leave the memes to other threads. I want to know what is personal for YOU. Here's something that keeps me happy daily. This is maybe the first photo of my almost three-month old daughter outside of the delivery room. You'd never know by looking at her that this girl has a date with a surgeon later this year to repair a partially cleft soft palate or that she has to wear a blood-oxygen monitor on her foot around the clock, every day, because that cleft causes her to be at high risk for sleep apnea. She's the object of constant affection from her older brother and sister, and makes me and her mom smile from ear to ear. Alright... what's keeping you all happy lately?- 12 replies

@broox @Ski @joe4vol @Bnashville @Johnny Rotten @GhstFace38 @Shorty @cz75b @TN Song Dog Please hit this link ASAP and add a billing address so that I can process the membership for you. You aren't being billed, but the software needs it for me to complete the transaction. https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/clients/addresses/ You can let me know that you've done so by clicking the "THANKS" reaction (it looks like the little trophy icon) in the reactions list for this post. -
It is a little different no matter what some folks claim. Probably why I like it so much more than my 19.

Funny story... a friend of mine is friends with John. I have John's cell phone number in my phone, but I've not called him yet to arrange it. Maybe one of these days soon. I tend to want to ask these folks questions they haven't heard elsewhere... and I'm just not sure what I want to ask him.

Good to see some other WP's on here. I subscribed a few days ago after he announced it. For me it was a no-brainer. First, John has an actual chance of providing an alternative to YouTube for 2A content with this model of being "crowd funded". Second, when I try to struggle through content from knowledgeable people like Sean Ryan and have to count the F-Bombs, I'm really glad to support a guy who doesn't use that word like a comma.

If you ignore people like her, they influence policy behind the scenes or outright get new laws passed. Never ignore them. NEVER.

Also, would our media please grow some balls and quit referring to these scumbags caught, quite literally, red handed as "suspects"? MURDERER. It's real easy to type. M-U-R-D-E-R-E-R. Hell, I bet Microsoft Word will even auto-complete it for them if they just start typing it.

Sadly the deals forum doesn't seem to be getting much action.

Effective April 8, 2020, all rules and guidelines for using the TGO Trading Post are now found in this article. Please always refer to this article for the most up-to-date guidelines.

I'm going to point out that it's possible for it to be a combination of all of those things (Mental health, racial angst, misogynistic view of women, religious extremism) and any one those factors is capable of exacerbating the others and becoming a catalyst. I hope William Aprill does a review of this one after the facts become known. His "They Are Not You" segments on social media are excellent. Carry your gun and keep your head on a swivel, people. The world isn't getting any nicer. Exactly the opposite.

PayPal has a list of things you may not use their service to pay for. TGO's expectation is that our members follow their rules and use another means of payment for anything that falls into those categories. Cash, cashier's check, money order, etc. When you buy a Benefactor membership, you're paying for a media service (TGO) similar to paying for a magazine subscription. You aren't buying the right to buy/sell anything on TGO. We merely make those areas available to you as a Thank You for helping us provide this forum to the public. Access to the Trading Post forums are just one of the perks Benefactors get. It's not the only perk. This is why anyone who abuses the Trading Post can have their privileges to that area yanked without expecting a refund, since a member didn't "buy" that access. It's a gift that we generally give in thanks, but we reserve the right to retract it if it's abused. The same as we reserve the right to gift it on occasion to people who don't support TGO's mission financially.

That's asking for someone to write a lot about something that has mountains of information already available. The most pertinent question for these folks is probably what motivated them to get their license and become a HAM. A site that has a lot of the other stuff, in very down to earth modern style is here: https://myoffroadradio.com/ham-radio-stuff/ham-radio-reviews-information/

That's not the reason that the national news will squash this one.

Tennessee Gun Owners Trading Post Updated August 14, 2023 Terms and Conditions By using the Trading Post, you agree and affirm that TNGunOwners.com (TGO) is an "Information Service Provider" as defined by Federal Law and that TGO is not the seller of ANY of the firearms or other items listed here. Listings are posted by third parties. TGO's role is similar to that of a newspaper which publishes classified ads. Our knowledge of a transaction is limited to the information contained in an item's listing and user registration databases. Rules for Using the Trading Post Observe all Federal, State and Local laws at all times. Clearly and accurately describe the item that you are offering. Disclose any flaws, any blemishes, any problems. Provide clear photos when possible. Do not offer items on behalf of a friend or other third-party. Only list items that you own and are in possession of. Do not make "testing the water" types of posts. Only post if you are ready to sell or trade. Do not agree to buy or take possession of an item unless you have all of the resources (money, items for trade, etc.) necessary to complete the deal. Complete any agreed-upon transactions within seven (7) business days unless both parties agree, in writing on TGO, that an extension of this deadline is acceptable. All transactions are final, and all items are provided as-is and without warranty unless the seller/trader says otherwise. Do not make any replies designed to interfere with the sale or trade of an item. If you wish to haggle, do it privately with the seller. No one cares what you think about the price or availability of an item. Don't be a dick. Access to the Trading Post may be revoked if you fail to follow the rules, fail to follow the law, or fail to be honest and ethical in your dealings Haggle privately. If you are a new member and can't send a private message, just post a public reply and ask the author of the ad to contact you. Haggling does not belong in public. It is no one's business what you think an item is worth. That is between you and the seller. Suggestions for Buyers and Sellers When agreeing to meet in person, put safety first. Trust your instincts! Consider only meeting at a public place with surveillance video (police stations are great for this!) and only meeting during daylight hours. Try not to meet alone, but also be clear in advance if you will be bringing a friend as backup. No one likes to be surprised by the presence of other people if it wasn't expected. Check the TGO Trader Feedback of the buyer / seller before you commit to a transaction with them. A person having "No Feedback" is not necessarily a bad thing but watch out for people with negative ratings for past deals. Scammers love to operate in private. Be extra careful if someone with little or no public content approaches you privately regarding an ad that you posted. Consider telling them to post their reply publicly where the moderators can help keep an eye on things. Every online payment service has their own list of things you may not use their service to pay for. Failing to follow their policies could result in your account with them being terminated, funds frozen or loss of buyer/seller protection. Be sure you know what they allow. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal Friends & Family and other services may not offer much (or any) payment protection. We recommend cash for in person transactions and PayPal Goods & Services for any non-restricted sales of things that are being shipped. Again, be sure that you know what the payment service provides and allows and be sure to check buyer/seller feedback here on TGO. Be willing to pay a little more for insurance from the payment service or shipper. Why Can't I Post New Threads? Are you a Benefactor member? As a thank you for supporting TGO, we typically give our Benefactors elevated permissions in some of our forums. When you buy a Benefactor membership, you're paying for a media service (TGO) similar to paying for a magazine subscription. You aren't buying the "right" to buy or sell anything on TGO. We merely make those areas available to you as a Thank You for helping us provide this forum to the public. Click here to become a Benefactor member. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact the Staff. This article evolves over time, and we always appreciate your ideas.

I'm waiting for CNN to tell me that those three women jumped him in the parking lot, beat him within an inch of his life, and he had to resort to deadly force to defend himself.

After We've Sheltered In Place. COVID-19. Coronavirus.
TGO David replied to TGO David's topic in General Chat
It's hit or miss with college students. I've got one that graduated with a nursing degree and she's in serious demand these days. I've got another that scraped by with a degree in a very generalized IT program and will likely have student loan debt until he and his compdres manage to elect a socialist who will absolve them of their stupidity and saddle me with his debt as taxes. -
Yes they are. On one hand I like to think that someone in government has some common sense and knows that happy subjects... I mean, citizens... are a good thing to have during tumultuous times. On the other hand, I know that the real reason is also rooted in common sense but it's the fact that we don't need a lot of alcoholics going cold-turkey through detox and flodding our emergency rooms right now. This is the exact same reason why hospitals usually have beer that can be dispensed by the pharmacy, to keep alcoholics from detoxing and coding. Mercifully the rest of us get to benefit as "enthusiasts" from this provision that allows liquor stores to remain open.
