Edit: Never mind. Missed the pertinent info. I'm back under control.

S&W 642 is my standard pocket gun.

The date listed on the web page is 1 April. It says they're hoping to break the Guinness world record for the largest game of tag ever played. I hope it doesn't turn into the largest April Fools joke ever played.

Thank you for the link. It still went through a facebook page but I didn't have to have a user or password. Here's the direct link for those interested: http://survivejohnsoncity.wordpress.com/

The Castle Doctrine has been discussed here before. At some length. I'm no legal expert but it is my understanding that it is applicable in Tennessee. if you break into my home I'll expect you're not there to deliver flowers. I read, probably at least once a week, about armed individuals breaking in to someone's home and it often ends badly for the intruder of the home owner. Recently, on TGO, I read statistics about the percentage of intruders being armed. I don't recall the exact numbers but it was surprisingly high. If you break in, I'm going to expect you're armed and my life is in danger. Hesitation could be deadly. My situation may be different than others. In a discussion with my cousin, he expressed concerns that one of his kids could have had an argument with their spouse and come to his home unannounced. A valid point. None of my kids live in this area and nobody has keys other than my wife and I. My wife and I have a routine of calling to let the other know if we are coming home unexpectedly so there is no question. I also have several deterrents. An alarm system. A dog that is small but barks at any unusual sound. I have motion detector lights in my small home. If you enter a room leading to the hallway that leads to our bedroom, the hall light will come on and it shines in through the bedroom doorway. My wife and I have a planned response. All I can say is you better not step into the doorway to the bedroom. If you are bold enough to bust in while I'm not in bed, you will get to meet Commander Bob Tail.

The link says I have to log in to see the page. I don't play facebook. Anyone know if the details are available on a normal website? It sounds like fun but I never thought of running from zombies. I've been practicing to take them out.

Ewe beet me two it.

Fortunately, my friend lived but he never asked me to hit him in the stomach again.

Yikes! Ouch! On a much smaller scale, it reminded me of a friend of mine that once said this... "I've been working out. Go ahead, hit me in the stomach as hard as you can." It didn't leave a mark anything like that and I'm sure it didn't hurt as much but the reaction looked very much the same.

A burrito cook off. Maybe we can get Bobby Flay to join and we'll call it a throw-down.

The best burritos I've had come from my kitchen. Custom made to my tastes with care and love. And cleanliness. In fact just about the best everything I've had come from my kitchen. I haven't been able to master a good pizza though. I don't feel too bad, I haven't found a good pizza anywhere in the area. Maybe it's the altitude. I'll keep working on that. Restaurants just aren't my thing. They're a last resort. No, I'm not taking orders.

I'll say 1 April 2011. Actually, I noticed I was at 1499 posts and felt the urge to hit 1500. This seemed like a good place. I miss the Three Word Thread.

Whoever is working with him is doing a good job. All kids should at least have the opportunity.

Pawn shops and guns don't mix.

I guess this line threw me off. My mistake. Darn you Evelyn Wood. (Google it if you don't know Evelyn)

If you want to sell it, spend the few bucks it costs and become a Benefactor here. TGO is a great place to sell things. It kind of sounds like that's where you're headed. It's hard to beat a 1911 but if weight is an issue, the 1911 is probably not for you.

As far as it used to? What are you talking about? What it got me in 1972 was spit on and called a baby killer. I've seen nothing but respect for the military for many years. And if you really did serve, thank you for your service. I have respect those in uniform and those that have served. Sorry for the off topic. Carry on.

Where they get you is the noise ordinance. Shooting at 125 yards from a dwelling may be legal but in my county they'll get you for making noise. My uncle has property out of town. Over 100 yards from anyone. Was stopped, fortunately not cited, because he was making too much noise. Now I can't shoot there either. If they want to stop you, they'll find a way. Reason enough to have me looking into a suppressor.

I saw this news story (below) and it made me think, what would I have done if I saw this happening, and would it be the right response? I see a couple complicating factors. One, the stun gun. If it looked like a handgun, one may be inclined to respond with deadly force. If I was able to see it was a stun gun or not see a weapon at all, perhaps physical force. The other important factor here is that, as it turns out, these people had a relationship. I've always felt that responding to such an incident could be very dangerous legally. It may look like a kidnapping in progress but may be a domestic issue. How do you draw the line? It would be very difficult to stand by and do nothing while someone is being attacked. Responding with physical force could end badly for you. Responding with a weapon could result in prison. Calling 911 would be an option but the victim may not have 15 minutes for the police to respond. Help me reason through this. It seems that the person that responded did a good job in stopping the attack but at what risk? What would you do? http://www.wcyb.com/news/26930694/detail.html Woman Attacked By Man Wearing Halloween Mask By Sherrie Evans POSTED: 6:59 am EST February 20, 2011 Kingsport, Tenn -- Kingsport police arrest a man who they say attacked a woman in the parking lot of Indian Path Hospital Saturday night.The man was dressed in a purple jacket wearing a halloween mask. Police say 40-year-old Mark Smith knocked the victim to the ground and applied a stun gun to her.A witness heard the woman cry for help and ran over. That's when smith left the scene. Police caught up with him shortly after that. They tell us he confessed to the attack. The investigation revealed Smith was a former boyfriend of the victim.

I guess everybody's heard, even in Florida, if you want to know anything concerning guns, TGO is the place to go.

The more I read about this guy, the more I like him. Thanks, Lester, for bringing him to my attention.

I carry in my bank every time I go in. No signs. No law, that I know of, against it. Of course, it's difficult to tell with the confusing nature of Tennessee gun laws.

My wife, and some of my co-workers, say the same of me. Perhaps we could form an antisocial club to meet and not talk to one another.

Olds, be careful, you're starting to restore my faith in today's youth.

Yikes! If my finances were like that, I'd be expecting bill collectors to be knocking at my door anytime. On a national scale, they may not knock.
