Nearby Perry County has a range near Linden. I've never been, so I'm not sure what you can shoot there. It may be a skeet/trap range for all I know. Regardless, I haven't shot at a state park or TWRA range that I didn't love, so I'd got to Natchez Trace Firing Range if I was out your way. I hope you find something you like and welcome to TN.

How do you really feal? LOL

Nothing shows how serious you are about your goals like keeping a scorecard.

IMHO, the right philosophy is to get yourself armed as fast as possible with the best gun you can afford. Your life will NOT be in jeopardy if it's a $250 Taurus instead of a $500 <insert brand that will better impress us on the internet>. If you like guns, you'll eventually want to upgrade to something with features you like better, but for now I think you're making a solid choice on a solid firearm, which is better than waiting until you have 60-80% more money saved up.

It's going to be really really hard to beat that price.

Agreed, lesser of 2 evils. I will say, however, that the time to vote your conscience is in the GOP primary. The moderate/RINO seems to keep winning the big nominations instead of the conservatives.

I don't believe there's enough suppressors and SBRs sold yearly for the tax revenue to be the reason it was removed. I don't believe the GOP ever expected it to pass from the get-go. I think they just put it in there to have a bargaining chip they were willing to concede on to get the rest of the bill passed. They only succeeded at making the Dems continue to look like the 2A enemies they are and they got to pose as our 2A allies for a few weeks.

Wow, the summer of 1980 only seems a few years ago. Hard to believe how fast they sneak up on ya, huh? I work inside too. It sure does make going outside more painful. But, I don't know which is worse the heat or these millions of little black and white mosquitoes we have in my neck of the woods.

You're right, the weather is about the same, but I'm getting old and I feel it more.

I use the corded AXIL GS Extreme ear buds, which are really good too, but that cord behind your ear and around the back of your neck is a little complicated to put on. Since you can use foamies for both, I regret not ponying up for the XCORs instead.

I opened the back door to let the dogs out and it felt like when you open the oven on Thanksgiving to take the turkey out and your glasses fog up, but w/out the good smell.
