yep, us poor people can't get a break.

I understand, not as much fun without someone to share. I drag my wife with me. She's a great bargaining tool.

I ran across an event on the show website near Westmoreland. Place called Ole Milliken Store has a gun/knife trader show every second Saturday. I plan on checking it out as I like seeing what normal people have rather than dealers. I can always see new stuff at local dealers.

I kinda thought that made sense. I had a couple. Witness is a great pistol, one of those I wish I'd kept. Right now EDC is Brazilian and I don't expect a change.

I like my BIL and he is a conservative. He would leave but his wife LIKES it there. (actually she stays for her job)

good deal. good luck

I too will renew my benefactor status after the holidays. We had some unexpected vet expense that threw our budget out. Then a trip to Hamilton Miss to get another dog. Anyway, I have seen a couple of sites that shut down after the new dealer rules were announced. Armslist went to crap. I hadn't noticed a decline in available market, maybe because I'm not seriously looking at the moment but whatever, I'm ALWAYS looking. I look at an e trader site that is primarily E Tenn a lot and like it's been said, if I want it and it's priced right it's east of Knoxville. On similar line, I joined a Carolina forum expressly to ask if one of the posters would do an FFL transfer at my expense. The pistol si still posted but never got a response. edit: I would drive for the right deal but you have to factor in time and cost. After adding the expense of the drive is it still a good deal? And Cali Greg? I have a BIL in Cali and I still wouldn't cross the border.

New to me term, please explain.

Really wish I could make it up. Best of luck to them all!

first time I ever remember. Go Tigers!!

does a factory ported 357 count? or are we talking about autos only? Also, do you count muzzle brakes as compensators? Flash hiders? (yeah I have an AR pistol) I think we're painting with a wide brush here. Just my opinion. But I do agree in principle, the tacticool stuff is overdone and SD pistols should be as simple as possible. Mag funnels, slide cuts, comps. All fine in competition when one's life is not on the line. I have a light on my nightstand pistol but wouldn't carry that way. No optics on my defense arms either. (sorry)

Clear and good quality. pass

I'll be sure to stop in next time I am up there.

I had a bid on a Jericho in .45. I thought it went too high and let it slip away, very bad decision on my part.

Are they still a full service store? So glad they are still open!

Nice looking piece. I've never carried appendix and don't carry IWB anymore due to the spare tire. I do however have the same irrational fear of striker fired no manual safety pistols. I have one, but doubt I'll carry it ever. It was an impulse buy at a pawn shop. I have a thing for Taurus .45s so I just bought it. The trigger is absolutely terrible. I'm sure I could get used to it but I'll stick with my SA/DA or a 1911 pattern. So how is the trigger on your 92?

That's pretty! I'm a sucker for unfluted cylinder revolvers.

Guessing Memphis is about to be slapped like Nashville was a few months back. I've noticed the news dropped that fight from their daily load of crap. Having studied past case law regarding constitutionally guaranteed right, federal case law says you may not attach a fee or tax to any right. Case was regarding poll taxes and tests. Damned shame no one has ever applied this to carry bans/permits. I was on my way when the judge decided to back down. I didn't pursue it because my lawyer said it would be more expense than I could afford. yeah, with two of my divorces I've seen some real POS judges. Can't say all are bad, just the few I've dealt with on those issues.

The list is long and I'm not a wealthy man. But here are the top of the list. for a shotgun, a high quality coach gun rifle, Preferably Marlin 45-70 16-18 inch big loop lever gun pistol is where it gets rough, Stainless P14.45, Taurus duo tone 1911 are the most wanted at the moment. Working on collecting as many models of Tarus 45 I can. started with a 945, have three at the moment and looking.

Traded for an RIA .45. Have not gotten to the range with it yet but expect it to be a good shooter. If you want a brass throwing machine, you'll have to run a mag or two through a Firestar. I used to shoot at On Target and when I had the Firestar I'd go into the corner lane to keep from annoying anyone else. Learned to stand in a certain spot to keep from getting hit in the side of the head by rebounding brass. They'd bounce off the end wall then the back wall and hit me in the back.

Bay City Rollers? Village People? LOL

I had to look this one up, never seen nor heard of the builder. I don't think it's ugly. Not my style though. I would drop the flat trigger and optic. And it is in the wrong caliber

I was confident of the 30-30 Now I have to check my stash of 20ga!

This is on our list of things we both want to do. My wife and I neither like being apart. We don't do a lot but we do it together. It works for us, she will go to the range or gun show with me even though she has no interest in either. Luckily, neither of us likes the beach and we both love the mountains. If we were in better shape I'm sure we'd do a lot of hiking. But whatever works for you is what you should do. Everyone is different so every couple is different.

I didn't get to see Skynyrd but I did catch Rosington Collins.
