Indeed. If there's any thought at all of calling the cops, be the one who calls. Good guys call and report bad guys. Right or wrong, that's the default.

Yes, bullets will definitely ricochet off asphalt. Skipping bullets to get BG's hiding behind vehicles is taught.

So sorry for your loss. I've got boys of my own. It's difficult to even think about.

Probably just inconsistent labeling.

I was in line buying bait at a gas station a few days ago. The guy in front of me was digging in his pockets searching for change to buy 2 cans of dip. I considered covering the $1 he was short, but for dip? Nah. And he certainly could've put 1 can back. After the 3rd round counting what he had and coming up short, the clerk comped him and said, "Bring me that dollar tomorrow Jerry." A regular, apparently.

A friend carries a G17 routinely, but he's a big boy who likes big guns. I'm not a glock person, the 19 is the only one I'd consider owning.

Sounds like you did fine to me. I supposed what you did could be considered brandishing, but that's a stretch IMO. Also worth noting is there is a state wide leash law, which these folks clearly violated. I've had dogs all my life and they get away sometimes, it happens. Some folks know dogs and can read their body language to quickly determine intent, which would drive the decision to draw or not. That said, most dogs are really fast, much faster than people, so decision time is significantly compressed. If you hesitate half a second, the dog will be on you.

Looks like fun. Also looks like the mini gun could used a few sand bags.

Up like a rocket, down like a feather.

Man, if I could play like that at age 12, I'm thinking high school would have been very different.

That's the main issue with Chilhowee Park and the county fair. As yet, there's no definitive answer. If the locals says you can't carry, and you do anyway and get arrested, charged, and convicted, then we'll know.

The state law changed recently to allow people with permits to carry anywhere classified as a park. The definition of "park" is quite broad in the law. Several municipalities have challenged that saying their "park" isn't really a park based on where it is, who manages it, who's using it and when, etc. There's currently a lawsuit (and thread here) surrounding Chilhowee Park in Knoxville I think there may also be one in Memphis. At the end of the day, state law says it's ok in any park. The local authorities may or may not agree. As yet there's no significant case law to make it abundantly clear.

A good day indeed.

Very much this. His lyrics speak to me, more so than any other band I listen to. I'm an unashamed fanboy, St. Anger is great. The raw emotion in songs like Unnamed Feeling appeal to me. It's very personal. For whatever reason, my ear has always followed the rhythm lines. I certainly appreciate solos but when the rhythm section is locked in and cooking, that's where it's at. I tried to play bass at first but switched to guitar because my fingers were way too short. And I'm a total hack. I can read music (former band geek) but tab books are the best I can do. I'd love to be able to just kinda play whatever's in my head, but haven't ever been able to pull that off. I took lessons for a while and really enjoyed it but life got in the way. Maybe I'll make my rock star bid when the kids are grown...

You're doing it wrong.... After you close the deal with the saleman, ask to talk to someone in marketing to discuss your advertising rate. They'll be really confused when you put a contract on their desk and say "if you could initial here next to the rate and sign here, that'd be great."

So you missed the target completely with the other 9 shots? Bummer.....

Nope, what he did was perfectly legal. Motorcycles are not required to wait indefinitely at a malfunctioning traffic light. The next step is to call the local dot office and report it. The sensitivity of some lights can be adjusted. And weight of the vehicle has nothing to do with it. The sensors are magnetic, so an aluminum intensive motorcycle won't activate the sensor regardless of how much it weighs.

Dave is an excellent song writer. If he could've suppressed the asshole a little and hired a decent singer/front man, he might've ruled the world.

We've bought a few things at the Lodge store and all of it has been cosmetic seconds. We use it all the time. The knife works is a great place to get hands on stuff that you won't find many other places. I've found better deals on ammo there than knives. Sevierville/Pigeon Forge in general isn't a place to find deals on stuff anymore. There's lots of stuff, but the prices are typically mediocre at best. It's beginning to follow the Turkey Creek business model, which is "mark everything up 20% for the privilege of shopping here."

America will rock again on November 18th.

I'd like to brew my own beer. I also like dark beers and have sampled several from friends who brew, and liked the majority of them. It seems like it would be a fun thing do, but I don't have a basement for aging them and it's just another hobby I won't have time for. Maybe when the kids are grown.

The Coleman store is right there too and they usually have good stuff on sale. The Lodge store is there as well.

Merely repeating what she said she was doing.... That would imply you've tried on yoga pants....
