The fatal round that struck the officer was friendly fire. That just shows how intense and chaotic those situations must be. "Sgt. Ron Helus was struck five times by gunfire from the suspect, Ian David Long, according to Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub, but was hit by a sixth bullet from a CHP officer's rifle. Helus could have potentially survived the five wounds from Long's weapon, but the sixth bullet, fired by the CHP officer who entered the bar with Helus, proved fatal. It struck Helus in the chest and his heart, according to Dr. Christopher Young, the Ventura County medical examiner." https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/07/us/ron-helus-california-highway-patrol-thousand-oaks-shooting/index.html

These old threads are the best. I miss TMF...

TWRA denied they were here for years. It seems they have recently been spotted in Macon and Sumner county. It's not crazy to think they might be passing through Cheatham as well. https://www.wvlt.tv/content/news/493110841.html

I realize this is an old thread. I initially thought I was reading this wrong but it appears the south is about to get hammered with snow. Asheville NC is predicted to receive 18". Even Greenville SC may get over a foot which they are describing as a "once in a generation" record. Those of you in far East TN may have an interesting weekend.

I'm enjoying the lower prices at the pump. 14.8 MPG hurts a little less at $2.00 gallon. I'd like to see $1.50 again.

One of the restaurant workers said he even reached out to the local news. Odd that they haven't mentioned it.

I was wondering about that as well. I suspect you're correct.

I'm convinced that many people here don't actually like the Republicans so much as they absolutely hate the left.

People from SC often refer to the upper part of the state as upstate. I only learned this recently.

Try this link. I didn't realize they auto renewed but there is a link on the right side of the screen. https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/clients/purchases/

Good post. I guess I picked a title for this thread that implied drinking was the cause. That wasn't my intention. I'd still like to know what he was doing.

You can't leave us hanging forever. What's the status on the Scout. Refresh my memory, were you able to start it?

It happened at the new Double Dogs at 8910 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37923. They tore down the old Rafferty's and built it earlier this year.

In TN, he could lose his permit, regardless of impairment, if it is proven he had ANYTHING to drink.

This happened at Double Dogs. I'm curious if he was handling the gun or carrying without a holster.

Seems he has joined the dark side...

I made a point of clarification in your post. But yes, everything else is correct.

FWIW, I really enjoy your posts and wish you would chime in more often. You have one of the more pragmatic stances on here that I've seen. Even when we don't agree 100% I like hearing your take on topics.

Na Pali coast of Kauai. We went for our honeymoon. Also home to Waimea Canyon.

Shouldn't it be free? The sheriff didn't charge me.

It took me a minute but I got It. They were trying to be funny by leaving the L out. So there is no L in the name. L should have been after the K per the alphabet.

How can I get any "lighter" than the popcorn emoji? It's a tried and true classic. But yes, it is unusually cold outside. I hate it.

Gotcha. So they just keep releasing pieces it sounds like. I got a bit annoyed at a few of their comments but I agree with their main argument that gun control is going to unfairly target minorities. Colion spoke about this during his interview with Killer Mike.

There is a longer 6 minute version on Youtube now. I'm not sure if this is the full version or not.

My friend swears there was a kid at our local elementary school named Sh*thead...pronounced Shetheed... Some people really shouldn't reproduce.
