Welcome from another Memphian.

Pretty much.

You can not like or disagree with the views all day long. This video isn't a whole lot about facts, it is about feelings and perceptions. If you want to make inroads with demographic, you have to address how they feel about you. The NRA understands this. Do you think the courting of folks like Colion Noir is an accident?

This is some ATF level buffoonery!

Oh, I guarantee it. I live here and there is always something funny going on. I think we get our public officials from the same criminal finishing schools as Chicago.

I've been there, my brother lived there for about a decade. The city has some great stuff to see, so do a lot of cesspools. I live in Memphis, so I know a thing or two about crappy cities. There isn't anything wrong with Chicago that a squadron of B2s loaded with napalm couldn't fix.

JayC, in principle I am in full agreement with you, but you are not grasping some of the finer details of the way this operation runs. The private management firm that leased that section of Beale does not receive any funds from the city. It manages and maintains that section of Beale and in return collects all the rents from the businesses there. This has been a subject of litigation over the last few years so that situation is fluid as the city maintains that it was due funds it did not receive. When I speak of public/private partnerships I refer mostly to state & federal grants for the restoration of historically significant property. Grants made to a private company.   One question, you mention "funds allocated for that 2 block section". Where are you getting the information that breaks down how the City of Memphis allocates road maintenance funds on a block by block basis? As I mentioned before, that section has had its original cobblestones restored and city crews DO NOT ever touch them. Every so often the management company has had to bring in a company to perform those repairs and it is a big enough expense and story that it usually makes the local news in some manner.   To reiterate, I agree with you that it is a bad idea to be able to carve out these types of exceptions. I just think you are truly failing to appreciate the uniqueness of the situation with regards to Beale Street. Is there anywhere else in the state where it is legal to serve booze openly on the street until 5am?  

When we had to put down the older of our pair of pugs, the younger never recovered. Where she had always been a goofy, happy pug before, after she was morose and lethargic and her health went downhill fast. Less than a year later we lost her too. Dogs do get sad, they do miss their partners and I believe they can die of a broken heart. I know ours did.

I have been looking for this kind of class for a while. I can tell you that there is a demand for it in the Memphis area.

[quote name="JayC" post="1090610" timestamp="1389058511"]Accept it still appears to be receiving state funds as a road. So technically is still a public road. [/quote] Beale Street is a lot bigger than the 2 city blocks that are restricted access at varying times. The MEPS station I inproccessed through was located on Beale St., about a mile away from the bars. Also, those two blocks do not have normal asphalt paving. They have had the original cobblestones restored and that is something that has been underwritten in the past by both public and private funds in partnership. IIRC, the general maintenance is handled by the PMC.

I resemble this remark.

Beale Street isn't really a public street. It is, and it isn't all at the same time. The section of the street considered as the "historic" section was leased to a private management firm back at the beginning of the 80's. Since that time it has been given special licenses to allow the serving and consumption of alcohol in the open and also longer serving hours than the rest of the state. That section of Beale is essentially an large open air bar.

If you can provide any information as to what parts of town she will be in, etc. I can give a better idea of prohibited areas to watch out for. Along with Beale, all city and county parks and every movie theater in the city is posted. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

The amount of money saved by Americans on food and other goods that can be directly attributed to Walmart dwarfs the amount of money provided to the poor in the form of both Welfare and the EIC. Here are a couple of articles that speak to that data. http://www.the-dissident.com/Walmart.shtml   http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/dialogues/features/2006/is_walmart_good_for_the_american_working_class/the_low_prices_are_good_news.html

Mmmmmn! Do you want mustard or mayo on that turd sandwich?

[quote name="DaveTN" post="1089599" timestamp="1388937585"]I had no doubt of what your answer would be. But I don't understands what that means.[/quote] I'll leave that up to your imagination. It can mean whatever you want to think it means. :lol:

[quote name="DaveTN" post="1089581" timestamp="1388935637"]What makes you think that Tennessee is going to have you stand in line to register firearms? Ask the question in the way it would go down. Would you be willing to be arrested, cuffed in front of your family, hauled off to jail, convicted of a felony, and lose the ability to legally own any guns? Do you work? Would you be able to keep your job with a felony conviction or still have it after spending time in jail? Do you have a family to support? It’s easy to say what you would do when you are sure you won’t have to make those decisions. I would comply with the law and work to change it. I already played the game of non-compliance. It was one of the stupidest things I ever did in my life. I was cuffed and stuffed and taken to trial. Luckily I had the money to afford lawyers that got me out of it without a conviction showing. Would I do it again? Absolutely not. No one helped me including the dirt bags at the NRA. You will be on your own. And you? Since we are safely playing “What if” about a scenario that will never happen in this state; what would have us believe you would do?[/quote] You didn't ask me but I will give you an answer anyways. I have a list (we should all have a list) when that day comes to TN (and it will) I will start checking names off of that list until the government checks my name off of one of their lists.

I'm pretty sure he has been around these parts before.

Even if you don't go all the way over to the M&P, it is worth it to drop an Apex trigger in yours. If you plan on using it for competition purposes then get the Forward Set Sear trigger kit. It isn't so much a trigger as a work of art.

    Y'all need to quit giving out the secrets, man! Next thing you know we will all be stuck in a long ass line in automotive.

[quote name="DaveTN" post="1089104" timestamp="1388863153"]I believe my right to be armed comes from a natural right; not the 2nd amendment. But the courts do not agree. So who do you want making or enforcing the laws, the Feds or the State? Neither is not a valid answer; it’s just dodging the question.[/quote] I'm not dodging. I am saying that neither has the authority to make laws on it and it is up to you to defend that natural right for yourself against anyone who attempts to usurp it just as it is up to me to defend it against anyone who attempts to violate my natural rights. Individual rights must ultimately be defended by the individual. When you give responsibility to the collective to defend that right you have just turned it into a privilege that can be revoked by the collective. If the collective respected out right secede on an individual basis, it wouldn't be as much of an urgent issue.

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." How can that better option have a chance for victory if you refuse to even give them your vote? At the end of the day my candidate may not win, but at least I cast my vote for someone I believed instead of someone who is terrible "but at least he isn't as bad as the other guy". I stand firm in my position that the no matter the outcome, if you vote your conscience then you didn't waste your vote. If you really want to waste your vote, then continue to hold your nose and vote for candidates you know are terrible.
