The 870 express is a nice shotgun. I'd keep it and buy the tactical shotgun you want. A 28 inch barrel has it's advantages, though it's too long for close quarter combat, you can sure cover your yard with it.

I tell ya Outlaw. I have been looking at the CZ-75. Some of the folks on TGO have recommended it highly. BUT before my money could burn a whole in my pocket something else came up, now I'm saving change in the jar again.

My great grandfather was the sheriff of Baldwin County Alabama. He had a prisoner in his jail he was holding until he could be sent to the state prison. The prisoner's wife shows up one morning with this big cake for her husband. Grand Pa said, "Why this cake it too much for one man, lets share it with everybody." He cuts open the cake and finds a Smith and Wesson .32 top break revolver. The lady was not charged. That pistol was passed down to me. In 1982 two 15 year old kids (who's father was serving time for armed robbery) broke in to my house in Nashville and, among other things, took the Cake Gun. After 50 years the gun was now back in the hands of the bad guys.

Couldn't you jest flush it down the toilet?

They are a delicacy in Lower Alabama. Possum on the half shell.

My wife and I have been married for 15 years. I have learned to choose my battles carefully. This ain't one of them. She did offer to go out and grill those chickens but I said no. I'm afraid she might like it.

I flip flop between 9mm and 45acp all the time. I love my old XD-45 and my 1911 but my carry guns are Glock 19 and Glock 36 (Plus a Chief's Special). Sometimes I go back to carrying my Glock 19 because I can get faster, more accurate second shoots than my Glock 36. Then I'll change my mind and go back to the 45acp. I have a XDm-40 that I hardly ever shoot (No reason).

She says anything you can do and drink beer is a recreational activity so grilling out doesn't count as cooking. I ain't figured out that logic yet but I will be cooking chickens this afternoon and sipping a cold one.

I have spent many hours on the Narrows of the Harpeth River. I had a Blue Hole Canoe and would paddle around Bell's Bend then carry my canoe over the bluff and back to my car. They make a thing called a "Dry Bag" for canoes and kayaks. You can keep a pistol in the dry bag. You will need something to hang your dry bag on. Might I suggest getting a Sit-On_Top kayak. You can get out and walk and tie yourself off to the kayak. I know it ain't the same. But a Dry Bag might work.

WHY? WHY do I want this gun?

I like to whip the water to a foamy froth! I do fly fish!

Two thumbs up! Thanks for posting. He got me pegged. It's no a tactical vest it's a fishing vest!

I think you are right! We need to let them know when they are acting inappropietly. Of course the kids say I'm too nice of a guy. I was somplaing about a guy next to me on an airplane and how talked at me through the entire flight. The young guy said. "Why were you so polite to the dude. You will never see him again, NEVER. I'd tell him to STFU and to keep his $#&% on his side of the seat! I ain't gonna let some weirdo ruin my flight." Kids today. This young guy is an idiot for thinking that they will never meet again. It's a small world and it is not uncommon for people to meet again. If I do meet him again he will remember the long talk we had and he will consider me a friend. might even help me out. What if I had been an ass to that guy and we met again. We would not be friends and he would not help me. You be polite to starngers, treat them with respect and kindess. Turn the other cheek to their transgressions because you will meet again.

I once took a piece of 1/2 thick lexan and layed it up against a log. I then stood off 20 feet with my Ruger Mark II. The round struck the lexan dead center, then bounced back and hit me right in the nads. It didn't break the skin, but it dropped me to my knees. The lexan had only a scratch. I quess shot place is more important than energy.

AND ANOTHER THING! You walk up to someone and stand right in front of them and start talking to them. After about half a sentence you realize they are a thousand miles away. Then you notice the little ear phones in their ear. Then they look up like "hey, that guy is talking to me." , remove one ear phone and say "what?" so you got to start talking all over again.......OR You're standing in line at the grocery store and the dude behind starts talking right out of the blue. You think, "that guys is crazy!" but he has a ear phone on and he's talking to someone. So you get to here this guys private conversations................ I'm going on a canoe camping trip in a few weeks. Smallmouth fishing on the French Broad River. I really need to get out in the woods and back to nature. . It's good to be alive and in Tennessee!

I saw a picture of the crowd watching the space shuttle launch last week. Over half of the people in the photo were watching the launch thru their cell phones and I-berrys. Why couldn't they just watch the launch in real life? I saw two guys at work sitting right next to each other and the were TEXTING EACH OTHER! Why don't they just talk? Other kids at work will whip out that little screen at a moments notice and start doodling with it. Why don't they just concentrate on their work? Young people can't seem to go 5 minutes without be mesmerized by this little box with pretty pictures...............I'm getting old.........

Is this some kind of a sick joke? Say in ain't so! Court: No right to resist illegal cop entry into home

I have heard pros and cons of carrying in purses but the people making these remarks are all men. I would like to her a woman's view on the subject.

I have been camping at Frozenhead State Park for the last 18 years. The campsites are great and they offer free firewood. The Obed Wild and Scenic River has some cool canyons you can explore, Frozen Head State Park has some really nice trails too. The fishing on the Emory, Obed rivers as well as Daddys Creek and Clear Creek offer some outstanding fishing.

Is you a Yankee reinactor? Or is you a Rebel? My great grandfather (Isaac Mason) fought with the Army of Tennessee. Lumsden's Battery. 2nd Alabama Light Artillery. During the Battle of Nashville he was at Rebout #4 which was less than 1/8 mile from where I lived in Nashville. He was 18 years old when he surrendered in Meridian Mississippi in 1865. He was shot once in the Buttocks at Nashville.

I had to state that Jack was the best selling whiskey, but I didn't say it was the best tasting whiskey. I have tried the stuff they make in Kentucky and what they make in Scotland. My ancestors left Scotland in search for some good whiskey and they went to Ireland. They were so disappointed that they said "Screw this, lets go to America and make our own whiskey." So they came to America in 1756, Suffolk County Virginia and headed straight for Tennessee, then they turned left, crossed the Tennesee River and settled in North Alabamer. They made some good whiskey from what I've heard....................

Jack Daniels has kind of a peppery after taste. George Dickel has more of a woody flavor. I have to say that Jack Daniels is known throughout the world and is one of Americas largest exports, but I like George Dickel jest a little bit betta.

There's one for all the caliber snobs! A 22!!!!

Catoosa is a great place (ticks and chiggers). It was all logged heavily back in the day, mined too. It has since rebounded and is a wonderful place. My Avatar was taken in Catoosa in Daddys Creek Canyon. Daddys Creek, Obed River, Clear Creek, Emory River. You can't see it all in a week or a year. Bring a rod, those creeks are full of Smallmouth.

Tsun Tsu, The Art of War. Don't read any other book, besides the Bible, until you have read and understand Tsun Tsu. It's like warfare 101.
