When you get to be my age, you will realize that $100 makes no difference in your standard of living and it is worth it to live stress free. Besides, with no stress, I could still live long enough to come out ahead. I still wish I could buy my lifetime drivers license for $200.

Could happen I guess. But I am 71 and bought my lifetime 6 years ago. I would be looking at a renewal 2 years from now. Two years from now when it comes time for a renewal instead of worrying about getting my permit renewed, I plan to be sitting down on my boat dock with a fishing pole and not a worry in the world.

I just did a quick google search for how many people in the USA died in mass shootings. It appears that out of 350,000,000 people 1,051 have died in mass shooting incidents from 1982 to July 4, 2022. While any death is one too many, I would probably consider 1,051 out of 350,000,000 over a period of 40 years in order to preserve our liberty a reasonable trade off. We have fought a lot of wars for a lot less and lost many more lives. The danger from mass shootings is way overblown.

Anytime I deal with the government, I consider it a hassle. I wish I could go ahead and purchase a lifetime drivers license to go with my lifetime gun permit. Then I would never have to set foot in the DMV again.

I tend to agree with this. Out of 350,000,000 people in this country odds are you are going to have a few that are just purely evil. With this many people and a certain percentage of them just plain evil, it is surprising that we have as few mass killings as we do. Actually we don't have that many. The media just blows up everyone that we do have.

Same thing here. I got a Lifetime and I was 65 years old. I won't save any money but I was afraid one day they might not let me leave the nursing home to go renew my permit.

Yes you can still be here. We will all still be friends. You just won't be considered hardly as radical as the rest of us. LOL

I have a new Shield with safety but I am too far away from you.

I wouldn't be crowing too loudly. If not for 2 Democrats ( Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema) we would be in serious trouble right now. The Democrats would have abolished the filibuster and packed the Supreme Court with liberal Democrats if not for just two people who refused to budge. Without these two, Biden would have outlawed assault rifles and 9 MM pistols by now. By the time he left office we would have been lucky to own a slingshot. I shutter to think how close we came to losing.

I just noticed on several Want To Buy ads that a new member Wilson Snively just happens to have what everyone is seeking. I reported his post. Beware.

Want to buy or trade for a Ruger American Ranch in 5.56 or 7.62 x 39. Want one in like new condition that will accept AR-15 or Mini 30 magazines.

Great facilities and a great bunch of people. I belonged a few years ago before I moved away from the area. Membership fees were low. Back them $50 a year if you attended 3 meetings a year or performed 3 hours of community service. They had a pistol range, rifle range, two skeet ranges, a trap range, a private fishing lake, and a nice club house. When you went to shoot there was seldom anyone else there and you had the range to yourself. I am 50 miles away now but have considered rejoining. I think you will like it.

That's a bit far away for me. Academy showed them in stock online but when I added to my cart to ship to Knoxville it changes to not available.

TTT

It has loads of room inside. Four people are very comfortable in it. Only thing I have noticed is the engine seems a little loud. I guess a $22,000 truck does not have a lot of sound insulation. I bought the plain XL model because it was so much cheaper. When you get into the XLT and Lariat models they have all the bells and whistles of the large trucks. Even the XL model has remote start from you phone. Check your tire pressure and fuel gauge from your phone. My EcoBoost has been getting between 29 and 30 miles per gallon.

With EcoBoost engine you can get a 4,000 lb towing package. The hybrid is rated to tow 2,000 lbs. My little EcoBoost is rated at 250 HP. It will really take off. It's not as nice as a new F150 but it only costs half as much.

I can't afford a $50,000 new truck so I bought a new Ford Maverick truck for $22,100. It's got a pretty small bed on it but I hauled a 10 ft stepladder home in it yesterday.

Very true. I did read an article one time where they tested a Glock Model 32 against a S&W 4 inch .357 Magnum. Used Winchester 125 Ammo in both to compare the calibers. The .357 Sig was actually about 50 FPS faster due to the cylinder gap in the revolver using the same bullet. So my reasoning was a Glock with 13 rounds and less recoil shooting the same bullet 50 FPS faster would be an improvement on the .357 Magnum.

This is a great idea. If I were around Mt Julliet, I would want a pair of these.

Price Reduced

They are double action only. I believe the frames are aluminum for weight reduction and the barrels and cylinders are stainless steel.

Very Nice S&W Model 642 snub revolver. I got this revolver from another forum member a while back. He said he bought it new, and shot 20 rounds through it. The lock has been deactivated. The key still fits and works but it does not lock the gun. Buy an S&W at a Taurus price. $385. Pick up in Lenoir City.

I'll take the Mossberg. PM sent.

Want to buy a Ruger American Ranch Rifle in like new condition. Looking for a 7.62 X 39 that takes Mini 30 mags or a .223/5.56 that takes AR-15 magazines.
