A great example of why a regulatory body should not also be the enforcement body for the regulations

[quote name="Clod Stomper" post="1133303" timestamp="1396488935"]They may not bother you now, but later this summer, they will "swarm" and you could get stung just by being in the vicinity. BTDT. If you were closer, I'd pay a real beekeeper to get them and bring them to our farm. My Papaw used to keep bees and there are one or two hives left, but it would be nice to have some more. [/quote] Not true - swarming is the reproduction of the macro-organism (the colony). Generally bees swarm in the spring (while there is still a honey flow i.e. plants in bloom). They are full of honey in their crop to take to their new home and not aggressive at all. Bees which swarm in summer are pretty much doomed to an early colony death, since they will not have enough time to build their new colony and put away honey for the winter.

Would love feedback from someone using this to load dillon tubes. Its one tenth the price of dillons primer fillet!

Silly me - all these years an never thought laser tag guns would be useful in the Zombpocalyose Silly scoring system that has massachussets beating TN!

I think the best argument to a business owner is the folllowing: Posting a "no guns" sign does nothing to dissaude the criminal element, and in fact coupd serve to encourage that element. Additonally it is negative message to lawful firearms owner and HCP carriers. Not posting provides the exact same relief against the criminal element and doesn't discriminate against lawful gun owners and encourages a wider customer base. Tell me one person who chooses to only eat/shop somewhere ONLY if there is a posted sign? Now tell me how many gunowners will refuse to do business with a posted place? And lastly, there is no legal protection to the business for posting a sign vs not posting. Not posting - its the smart business decision

I guess Tyreese and Carol will have to be the cavalry next season. In the meanwhile....let me make you a plate!

[quote name="LawEnforcementSalesTN" post="1132171" timestamp="1396222180"]More specifically Hersh.... [url="http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/national-firearms-act-short-barreled-rifles-shotguns.html"]http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/national-firearms-act-short-barreled-rifles-shotguns.html[/url] looks like their nomenclature has been updated since my last reading... use to be more blatenly clear (I'll try to find my old ATF NFA handbook) .. they've also added all that maintain control BS, I see the doc is dated Nov 2013... But anyhoo...this is how I've always understood it to be, how I'm sure it once was, and how everyone I personally known in the field for the last 25 years I've been dealing with NFA operated... whether it still is, who knows... take if for what's it worth. I'm not an attorney nor do I play one on TV ;o) My understanding ... 1) IS 100% ok for registrant (only) to temporarily add 16" barrel, travel across state lines and come back and reconfigure to SBR status (IF it was legal prior) - as is relates for 5320 puposes AND IF the < 16" barrel parts are not kept with the SBR'd lower or in immediate control during the transport 2) IS 100% ok to add 16" barrel to SBR weapon and then sell the weapon as a standard title 1 weapon ... pending the non SBR form is legal. ATF asks but does not require that registrant sends a letter to branch explaining SBR is no longer a SBR,etc... I do recommend doing this but again, it has never been a requirement but a request. 3) is NOT ok to add 16" barrel and registrant temporarily loan weapon to friend, etc then bring back and reconfigure..... THIS would be considered a transfer per GCA and thusly the reconfiguring of SBR would require a new Form 1. 4) Destructive Devices (DDs) and Machineguns are the only NFA types that cannot revert back to their previous status. Their removal from the NFA registry is only thru destruction of the item per ATF specs (torching receiver in 3 parts, etc.) This thusly left SBSs and AOWs in the same category as SBRs.[/quote] Thanks - clear as mud of course: "Q: If I remove the short barrel from my SBR or SBS, may I move the firearm across state lines without the submission of ATF Form 5320.20, Application to Transport or to Temporarily Export Certain Firearms? If the registrant retains control over the parts required to assemble the SBR or SBS, the firearm is still be subject to all requirements of the NFA. ATF recommends contacting law enforcement officials in the destination state to ensure compliance with state and local law."

[quote name="LawEnforcementSalesTN" post="1132063" timestamp="1396200299"]Not talking about moving or transporting a 'NFA' item across state lines WHEN in NFA configuration...I'm talking about it is perfectly legal to place a 16" (or longer) barrel (temporarily) on your SBR registered lower and drive to a buddy's house across state lines - no notification is necessary... come back and put your short barrel back on. Point is a SBR is ONLY a SBR when it has a short barrel. Unlike a machine gun, once a machine gun always a machinegun, SBRs, SBSs and AOWs are only regulated when in the offending NFA configurations. SBR Barrel length only matters when it's < 16" But yes, If you're permanently (moving) or temporarily transporting a SBR across state lines (interstate) in it's SBR configuration you MUST get prior approval on an ATF 5320. [/quote] Do you have any regs you can refer me to on this? Would like to understand further - thanks

[quote name="LawEnforcementSalesTN" post="1131970" timestamp="1396185615"]They DO care what number you use but they record what you put in 4g NOT 4h. Using the original serial number IS acceptable and is the norm, not the exception. But you can issue a new one if you so choose. Serial numbers are not unique. It's manuf, model, caliber and serial. I would not suggest duplicating serials for multiple guns that YOU make but as long as all 4 parts are not identical it will fly. Point being the serial number they'll place on the registry will come from what you put in 4g and what you put in 4g had better be on the gun. If you took original gun serial 1 and when you filed you put serial 234 in 4g, 234 had better be engraved on the gun. You could have made reference to serial 1 in 4h if you like. As far as honor, you can do what you'd like but I'd highly suggest you have an approved form 1 (copy is fine) with you when you shoot if you're carrying a NFA weapon. A little to your point, you can legally put a 16" barrel back on your gun and it is no longer a SBR. You can carry it interstate legally and shoot somewhere else. Come back home and reinstall your short barrel.[/quote] Not so sure about that - the receiver, when registered through the NFA is an SBR - the barrel length becomes moot. Prudence would have you properly notify ATF in you move the SBR out of state

[quote name="dawgdoc" post="1130455" timestamp="1395887822"]So when they (the group that Daryl is with) finally confront Rick, their story is that he murdered one their own and left him to re-animate. Presumably, Daryl will feel all conflicted about helping his new friends, but maybe see their side. Will Rick get a chance to mention that he heard them contemplating a gang rape of a woman that they deduced was living there? Or will he keep his mouth shut like he did in front of the Governor's new group? I hope Daryl doesn't act like Andrea and refuse to believe the truth. Surely, having seen the result of the beat down, he will side with Rick? [/quote] The revenge theme for the gang is just weird to me. They seem to be an group with a strong anarchy/strongest win bent and also killed a fellow member themselves. So days and days later they are on a "mission" to avenge their buddy? Hard to swallow that logic And still Want to know what the heck happened to beth!?

[quote name="Grunt67" post="1129526" timestamp="1395717462"] I don't know Greg, only been in there once, quite a while ago, didn't find much then. No much traffic for sure. Always thought it was too much out in the middle of space to do much business.[/quote] The gunshop is closed now. If your goal is to leverage the property purchase as a tax write off for business losses then you'll do just fine. Just my humble opinion, but that area is not likely going to have enough paying customers to make a viable business. YMMV

[quote name="Hozzie" post="1129690" timestamp="1395765184"]I hear this a lot, but in reality it just isn't that easy to do for a lot of people. Yes, you can argue it is a choice. I won't disagree, but that is not the issue. The issue that needs to be fixed is the school systems interpreting things how they see fit. Taking every kid out won't fix the root cause. It just moves it to another area. Parents need to demand that the constitution be taught as written. Parents do have the power to change things, unfortunately most don't want to be bothered to do so.[/quote] Never going to happen - the government and unions have such overpowering influence . Best thing people can do is demand vouchers and vote with their feet. Starve the beast

[quote name="teecro" post="1120447" timestamp="1394027211"]Also looking for comments as to Mt Juliet and Lebanon as well as down in Tullahoma too? Yeah I know we just got to get down there and start driving around but until them all I got is y'all for a sounding board. As a note the main reason I'm naming these towns is that I'm finding suitable rental homes which we will be doing hopefully for no longer than a year as I want to sell my MI home first.[/quote] I love wilson county - been here 15 years - spent 8 years in Chattanooga and loved it too. Middle and East TN are slices of heaven. We're in process of building so if you decide i check out middle TN at some point, we could have a house for rent/sale at some point ! :)

I just watched the talking dead , and caught the last couple of minutes of the show again... Mary says "let me make you a plate" The correct saying is "let me fix you a plate" Further support for the cannibalism possibility......let me make YOU a plate --- moohahahhah

[quote name="Sam1" post="1129901" timestamp="1395789570"]The plane was shot down over open water, that's why there was so much info withheld immediately after it turned up missing. It was feared that the plane was going to be used in another attack. Major issue, and obviously they can't come out and say "hey we shot the plane down because of the situation".[/quote] A very interesting notion - still mysterious as to why the plane was hijacked and why in blazes take it to antarctica?! What ever happened to going to cuba!

[quote name="Chucktshoes" post="1127631" timestamp="1395352617"]I watched the events unfold with a sense of detached interest. I initially supported our actions in Afghanistan, but over time grew to realize that there was a definite element of blowback involved in 9-11. Our decades of interventions in the internal affairs of other nations birthed and nurtured that hatred of us in the M/E and elsewhere. The blood for the events of that day stains the hands of the US government as much as they do any terrorist.[/quote] Do not blame the victim Muslim hatred of "the west"goes back centuries - and its support of israel goes back to the beginning of the 20th century.

This winter temps have been below historical averages, so its fair to complain. Of course averages by definition include highs and lows, so one should not be surprised to see variations. It just sucks to be cold! I was in palm springs last week for A business meeting - wow - i had forgotten what its like to have the sun warm your skin - 80 degrees - was nice while it lasted; but still glad to be back in TN http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KBNA/2014/1/25/MonthlyHistory.html
