Praying for you mom and your family.

Bingo!

Prayers for all. And we will concentrate some prayers for you at church tomorrow.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! That really is a good one.............!

Check out Maryville. It's south of Knoxville. Best place we've ever lived. Even better than ILLannoy!

I think the poll is flawed, in that guys who have hog hunted are much more likely to answer Yes than everybody else is likely to answer No. I seriously doubt if the majority of folks on this forum have hog hunted. But I do like the discussion and the stories, so thanks for bringing it up.

Yeah, it's a fine gun, I have a couple, but why do high mileage on a tricycle?

You are probably an oddball, because I have a Glock 30 and a Glock 21, the compact and full versions of .45ACP. Sorry!

Be on the lookout for any delayed injuries. Sometimes they can take a long time to show up. Good so far though! Wow.

I'd say around 800 max as well. If 1918 original, 1500-3000 depending on some fine nuances of condition.

Welcome, you look like a great fit for this group! Looking forward to your participation.

Need any help? Always willing to be of eradication service!

Welcome aboard, and thanks for your service! I'm new to TN and really happy about moving here. You will be too!

Grease on the way!

Wow, check this out: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2019/01/ttag-contributor/the-atlantic-nysrpa-supreme-court-case-will-supersize-the-second-amendment/?utm_source=wideopen&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wideopen&utm_content=[[rssitem_title]]

I don't know, does it really make us all look bad? If a teacher does something bad, does it make them all look bad? Or a cop, same question? Sometimes I think we're too hard on ourselves when we ascribe something bad or stupid to us as a whole group. I'm not sure the rest of the public does that against us......but, I'm not sure.

Welcome, Hamshog. We moved here from ILLannoy in October, and love Tennessee. Sure you will too. The people are the nicest anywhere, and they think right. Shoulda done it years ago.

Thanks! Let's see what develops at Ruger.

I have HP pistols and carbines in both 9mm and .45ACP. Pistols are ugly but work fine, and I don't especially care if they get beat up. Good for tackle box, etc. Carbines are very fun to shoot. My family and friends seem to like shooting them way more than ARs. Just got a Ruger PC Carbine 9mm. Takes Glock mags. That's gonna be my carbine of choice. Can't wait to shoot it. I'm heading over to the Oak Ridge Sportsmen's Club this evening for new member orientation. If Ruger brings out the PC Carbine in 45ACP I'll probably get that too, and lose the HP carbines. If anyone would be interested in buying, please let me know.

Experience is what you got when you didn't get what you wanted. The problem with experience as a teacher is that the test comes before the lesson.

I absolutely love this! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-brave-ones-zimbabwe-domestic-violence-survivors-trained-sharpshooters-hunt-poachers/

Check out the Ruger LC9s Pro. The pro model has no manual safety and no magazine disconnect. It has been discontinued (probably due to lawyers because of no manual safety) but was very well reviewed. Still available new on gunbroker.com for $275. I think mine is fantastic. Check out this review: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/06/daniel-zimmerman/gun-review-ruger-lc9s-pro/

Soooooooooo, since mass shooters can acquire guns illegally, and will not abide by new rules (DUH!) -----what good will it do to make private transfers illegal, except to totally inconvenience and add large expenses for good folks buying and selling firearms?

The two rifles were acquired illegally from a neighbor/relative, and the two pistols were bought through a FFL.

Does anyone here know of ANY mass shooting where the shooter got the gun through a private gun sale, or inheritance, or gift?
