  1. Nashville's libraries are not run by the parks department, so I'd say they fall under something else, at least here.
  2.   Nobody said anything about under 18. That's not legal. The OP asked about 18+ which is perfectly legal in a private handgun sale.   If the buyer is a TN resident, 18+, and you have no reason to believe they're prohibited, then you're good to go. There's no requirement for you to go looking for any criminal record, etc. If you don't know about it or shouldn't reasonably have  known about it, you're good. If they make a comment like "I'm glad you're selling this to me. I don't think I'd pass a background check." that's reason to believe they're prohibited and you should abandon the sale.   Personally, I'll only deal in private sales with friends, family, and longtime TGOers with solid iTrader ratings.
  3. Checked Wally in Hermitage.  No 9mm, but they had some .308 at the great price. The operative word there is "had".
  4. Probably your Obama, MAIG, and Moms Demand Action bumper stickers.  :D
  5. Lucky me. Both my voices went No. Mitchell and Dickerson.
  6.   ah. Lost in translation. The prior posts had been naming places with crazy drivers. I thought you were saying Germany was the top of your list of crazy drivers.
  7. The site now says it's awaiting Harwell's signature.
  8. If the resale has already been worked out, I think it's treading dangerously close to a field of straw.   Let's say that you've mentioned to me that you'd love to have gun X, but can't seem to find it anywhere for a good price. You say that you'd gladly pay $Y for that gun and tell me that if I ever find one at or below that price to go ahead and buy it and you'll buy it off me. I happen to come across it for less than or equal to $Y and buy it, fully intending to sell it to you. The only difference between that and a true straw purchase is that you're giving me the money after I buy it, not before. The deal was already worked out beforehand. That, to me, is masking the actual owner and would be a straw purchase. Sure, no money has changed hands yet, so it's not the very definition of a straw purchase, but it sure is close, and not a subtlety I'd want to hang a defense upon.
  9.   Whether or not the final recipient is legally prevented from ownership or not is irrelevant. If you're filling out a 4473 and the gun is either not for you or not intended as a gift (i.e. no money, goods, or services changing hands) then it's a straw purchase.
  10.   Germany? Seriously? It's perhaps the only country in the world where EVERYONE knows how to drive properly.
  11. Heard a report this morning that someone somewhere mistook Hillary's logo for a Hospital direction sign. Oops.
  12.   This, times a million. That's EXACTLY how a center lane is supposed to be used when entering a traffic flow.
  13.   Korean taxis are wild. I know the official reason for the color code is to indicate the niceness of the cab, but I think it really means how fast they go. Silver = hyperspeed. Black = Ludicrous speed. Out in the countryside and see a blue one? DO NOT GET IN THAT THING!!!!!   I think the bus ride up a wet, narrow, muddy mountain road to Baguio, Philippines takes the cake for me. Guardrails? What are those? More than 30 years later, I still find bits of seat cover when I crap.
  14. Let's see if old J.J. can keep the lens flares to a minimum.     The first time I got to see ROTJ was in Manila. We were stationed at Kadena on Okinawa and had gone over to the P.I. on vacation. It wasn't overdubbed, but it was subtitled in Filipino. I remember thinking it was funny seeing double subtitles whenever Jabba or Bib Fortuna spoke.
  15. Guns & Leather does them occasionally. Give them a call to see when their next one is scheduled. 615-504-1373
  16.   Are you thinking of Kyp Durron pulling the Sun Crusher out of Yavin?     ....and hand me that mop.
  17. That's an SBR.                     Spear Bullet Rifle
  18. FYI - the trailer for the new movie will be paired up with the release of The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
  19. 1. Jar Jar sucks more than whiny Luke because he's a moron. Luke's an inexperienced farm hand who wants to see the galaxy. He's over excited on the Falcon when things get tense, but he's not a blithering idiot. Jar Jar is a blithering idiot.\   2. The light and sometimes subtle verbal sparing between C-3PO, R2-D2, Han, Luke, and Chewy is funny. The slapstick comedy of Jar Jar is not funny.   3. Han shooting first is critical. It establishes that he's, at best, a neutral character on the good-evil scale, and at worst downright dangerous. Tatooine is the first time we meet Han. Luke and Ben are hiring this guy and he just blasted a hole in Greedo. What are they getting themselves into? Rewriting the scene later because we want Han to always be a "good guy" misses the mark. He's a selfish scoundrel when they find him. To make him something else diminshes the journey he has to make for himself from that guy in the cantina to General Solo of the Rebel Alliance. Greedo letting Han get the drop on him just shows how inept Greedo was at the bounty hunting job. I don't think the same thing would have happened if it had been Bossk, IG-88, or Boba Fett in the cantina.   4. CGI has its place, but it's not great for living things yet. Puppet Yoda in V and VI is a little stiff and lacks the fine muscle movements of a real living thing, but it is "real" in the sense that it actually exists. The way the light plays off the puppet is the same way it plays off every other real object on the set. CGI yoda has more realistic fine movements (except for the crazy lightsaber fights designed by a 7 year old) but loses the presence of actually being in the shot. Changing the ghosts was just stupid. All of the others are still as old as they were when they died. How come Ben gets stuck in Sir Alec Guiness' body instead of Ewan McGregor's, but Darth Vader gets to go back to being young again? Much like cheapening the redemption of Han by having him shoot second, this cheapens the redemption of Anakin by Luke. It says "Darth Vader never happened. I get to go back to being the good guy I was before that darkness" rather than saying "I survived being Darth Vader and have returned to being a good man after passing through that darkness."   5. III was the best of the prequels, particularly the final scenes on Mustafar. Agree that H.C. couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. The only thing that ruined the final part of III was the Dr. Frankenstein's monster setup for creating Vader. Cheesy to say the least.
  20.   No, it was to get ahead of the changing political tide and make money in the process.
  21. That would explain the 9% proficiency rating in English.
  22. yep. You posted while I was editing. I had that orginally, but then couldn't find anyone quickly with a LEO badge icon to confirm. I saw the little gold star on the blue people one and got myself confused. Oops.   I also changed "retired" to "former"
