That airliner is probably 6-8 miles away when it blows. And there's nothing to say it's engines exploded. It could have been just fire due to the fuel tanks being blown apart as the wings disintegrated.

Look carefully at this picture. There are lots of shrapnel holes in the fuselage, and they're all from the outside inward. Just like a proximity detonation of a SAM.

True. They manufacture Russian designed weapons on Russian made equipment, bought with money we gave them. Yay us.

Welcome! I was a member at Wilderness Road when I lived in Church Hill. Looks like they've made some improvements over the years.

Russians say anything? Nope. Sell Iran even more weapons? Yep.

How else would you get your new pistol from the store to the car?

Heh... I looked at the price of a gallon of milk. $2.19 in 2003, $4.07 in 2019 is what my 10 second google search found. If the military has increased in size during that time, then that's certain to cost more.

We have 3 at work, the newest can print 2 different plastics simultaneously so we can do dissolvable or meltable bridging. They get a lot of use making all sorts of fixtures.

That's only slightly more than normal inflation. Stuff doubles in price about every 20 years.

True, except it's Murvul.

It's the holidays. Everything slows down considerably this time of year.

I made a double batch of pancakes for breakfast New Year's Day. I like peanut butter or whatever fruit preserves we have open on them. Sometimes both.

Good riddance. I hope Trump permitted the local theater commanders to execute the strike under their own authority. It appears to have been very well planned, I doubt this was a target of opportunity. All the talk about stiring the pot... well, yeah. You'd think they'd know Trump is both good at that and enjoys it by now, but I'm probably giving them too much credit. I'm sure this will generate some reprisal attempts on civilian targets because thats how Iran rolls. I hope the powers that be are able to stop them.

This call an FFL and ask. Some will accept firearms from an individual in another state, some only accept from another FFL, its their prerogative. You may have to call a few to find one wiling to help. I don't think it was a straw purchase as they did not Intentionally avoid a background check on the intended recipient. However, ignorance of the transfer process is no excuse.

They're ok in the smaller cars. The Murano is just too heavy for it.

Getting old ain't for sissies. Glad you're still with us.

Call TDOS and ask..... "An out-of-state relative wants to gift me a handgun, how do we do that?" I suspect you can do it at a TN FFL, but both parties must be present.

Given recent events, I'm curious how this would apply to church security teams. No uniform?

Welcome!

Welcome! Theres the TWRA John Sevier range in knoxville. https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/twra/hunting/firing-ranges.html#sevier

Next time, stop what you're doing, put the guns down, unload them, and wave the cops over for a chat. Ask them what they think of your shooting space, do they suggest any improvements, would they like to shoot any of your guns ? A simple, friendly conversation can go a long way.

Winter is hiking season in the Smokys.... no bears, no bugs, no snakes, no foliage, and no tourists. There's plenty of trails where you'll never see a soul.

A .22 rifle is a .22 rifle, no change of ammunition with change that. I bought a break barrel air rifle for just this purpose. It's listed at 1200fps. The trigger is pretty awful, but it does great on beer cans at 30yds and squirrels at 30ft.

There's a bunch of ways to do it depending on how you make the joints. I'd think all you'd really need is a dado blade, but even that isn't really necessary.

As with other things, light is the enemy of darkness. I'd put powerful motion lights around the house and on the typical approach routes. I've never seen one with a strobe function.
