I feel ya, KahrMan. Sears is the donut paradise when we get snow!

Warner park's a great idea. Thanks. The Trace might be good too. Still need to get more basics in the parking lots first. Maybe in a few weeks I'll get him out on one of those 2 roads.

Dang it hipower...Call me jealous.   daddyo, it was a B-17. Like hipower said, it was the Liberty Belle, which was painted up as the Memphis Belle and used in the movie by the same name. http://www.libertyfoundation.org/index.html

Agreed.   Crazy prices usually come from a seller who bought at an LGS that isn't competitive and he/she thinks that's the going price. Those items will usually just sit. When selling on the forums, the base "new" price is generally what the lowest Internet price is plus shipping and TICS. Discount from there for condition and for being "used". That is of course out the window for items that are not available as new any longer and have collectible value.   That said, if someone wants to list their standard Gen3 G19 with holster wear and 10K rounds through it for $1,200....they can.

So I've been a "big brother" with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle TN for a while now and love it. My "little brother" just got his lerner's permit and we need to get some wheel time in. I'm looking for a large parking lot in the west/north Nashville area that's likely to be empty on the weekends. I found one near Opryland, and of course there's Bellevue Center. I was wondering if anyone knows of any others in the west or north side, especially near Briley Pky and either Centennial or Ashland City Hwy.

Welcome to TGO, and thanks for asking before crapping on anyone's for sale thread and earning yourself a visit from the ban hammer.

What Spots said. You're right about one of the reasons some sellers list high. If I ask a fair price for my item, I'll get offers for less. If I ask a higher price, I'll get offers of a fair price. Or so the logic goes. Sometimes that's true, sometimes not. Other times a price may be high because the seller overpaid and doesn't realize they're high vs. the actual market value. They'll figure it out when all they get are low-ball offers if any at all, but it's not our job to call them out in public over it.   The rules are here at the first sticky in the first forum under the Trading Post section. Rule#7 addresses your question. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/44438-trading-post-rules-and-policies/

That sounds like something out of a Rober Frost poem....     My "free" box at BofA is small. About 2 x 5 x however deep those things go. I can keep CDs/DVDs in there, but they don't lay flat in a jewel case, sort of tilted against one side. A G26-sized pistola would probably fit OK. An LCP would fit.

+1 for Shiloh.   For a driving trip, maybe route 52 http://www.tn52.com/

Adams, TN for the Bell Witch cave around Halloween. Sure it's a bit cheesy, but it's fun.   I still need to get to Fall Creek Falls S.P. It's reportedly excellent.

Mazda doesn't list that on their website. http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=ownersWarranty   When I have seen lifetime warranties on other things besides cars and that part of the warranty isn't usually transferrable even if other sectioons are. If Mazda, or any other maker, sets it up like that then it could be a good differentiating sales tactic. The average buyer isn't likely to keep the car more than 3-7 years before they get tired of it or other parts not covered by the "lifetime" begin to break down like suspension or electronics and the owner decides to get something else. Either way the lifetime on the powertrain wouldn't have to be honored more than 3-7 years on most vehicles they sell.

Paraphrasing someone on TGO when being questioned about carrying a gun...   "You mean you don't? I hope your luck holds out."   sorry, but I can't recall who said it and what the exact line was. I just remember the story being in a convenience store while getting a cup of coffee.

A had assumed post-operative transvestite poultry. That's why I clicked the link. Imagine my disappointment.

If it goes sideways, just about anyone east of the Mississippi without a well concealed, stocked, and defensible position (an accesible large boat on the coast would count) is pretty much screwed.

Last seen headed east bound and down from Texarkana.

  Go back on June 25th, 2016 which is the next time the 25th falls on a Saturday. They'll have plenty.

Someone school me on this. Why is a revolver better against an aggressive* snake than a semi-auto? Do semi's not like rat/snake shot rounds?     *Yes sir, it was being aggressive. I was in fear of my own personal safety and had to put the poor thing down. It broke my heart to do it.

That's still not as bad as when Brown-Forman in Louisville dumped a load of tequila down the drain in 2003. A holding tank was marked as 'Empty" when it was actually full. A worker hooked up a tanker truck and started pumping tequila into the holding tank then left to take a break while waiting for the truck to be emptied. Oops.....1,800 gallons were gone before anyone noticed and shut off the pump.

  FIFY!

No laws against ammo at schools afaik.

  Did you ever try to race Crockett and Tubbs in their Scarab?

  If the aibags blow, a person with their feet on the dash might keep their legs, but may wish they hadn't. There are few worse positions to be in than this one during a collision.   I'm glad they included "Touching glass" in the list. That's my hot button, well that and when my wife gets sunscreen all over the place. That stuff is hard to clean off.

If you're worried about bears, then get bear spray. Far more effective than a handgun and the odds of survival are way better for both you an the bear.

I'd say that far too often those decent thinking LEOs are never in news reports for doing decent thinking things. Stupidity makes the news, regardless of profession. Unfortunately, that means a profession often in the news usually gets a bum rap across the whole lot.

  You can put a shallow plastic tray under the sink. then put a water alert sensor in there. Any water and you'll know about it.
