That's a fact. Adams fired Fisher. It was his decision, not the GM's. I'm of the opinion that until Bud opens up that wallet, things won't really change. Sure we'll have the occasional good season with a deep run in the playoffs, but there's no dynasty in our future. As of July, TN was #2 in the amount of money under the salary cap, second only to Jacksonville. I don't know the financials of the team and Bud. It may be a smart business move to look for low-cost value players (unproven rookies, or aging veterans) and augmenting that with a few key roles in their prime (CJ, McCourty, Roos). I can say it's not the most winning strategy ever put together. In the end, it's a business. Bud wants a Super Bowl. I suspect he wants a fat wallet more.

I've finally broken down and agreed with the haters that Titans football is boring. Watching the big plays on the marquee games (like last night's Saints vs. Chargers) is exciting. If the Titans get a pickup of more than 6 yards, we celebrate like it's a touchdown. That's nothing new with Munchoke. Fisher played that same kind of smash-mouth game. It may or may not be a winning startegy, but it certainly is a boring one. I wonder how much more losing the team can take before the seats start to look like a Tuesday afternoon baseball game.

While I agree to an extent, that only goes so far in my opinion. Some of those no-carry areas have extremely unique places, objects, and experiences that I believe are worth it. Washington D.C. is perhaps the single greatest and most compact example of that. It's the home of The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, the most significant buildings, memorials, cemeteries, and monuments in our nation, and host to the greatest museum collections of artifacts and antiquities that map our American heritage. Chicago is a fun city to visit, but one's life isn't somehow worse off for not having seen it. Washington D.C., in my opinion, enriches our lives by visiting and seeing what a great nation we were and are, and it inspires us to make it even better for ourselves and for the Americans who will come after us. Just stay out of the 'hoods. That's just my opinion. I understand and respect how others come to a different conclusion, about both visiting non-carry places and about how valuable D.C. is.

Some guy came through the local CVS one day when my wife and I were shopping. He had a rather large revolver (I don't know wheel guns very well) in a cowboy setup with extra rounds on the belt, the whole John Wayne getup. He walked past about 10 people and I'm certain that none of them noticed, including Mrs. monkeylizard. The clerk may have noticed, but certainly didn't look concerned. Since then I really stopped being too concerned about whether or not mine is showing.

I helped found a "Possum Club" in college. I'll have to look into some tickets. Keep your stick on the ice.

Franklin is good too.

and there's In other words we'll never know the whole story unless a dashcam was installed and working.

Decide which one's more important, the gun or visiting D.C. You can't legally do both. Go and enjoy the place. Leave the gun at home. The park police do a great job of keeping the tourist areas patrolled. Treat it like any other city and don't be stupid. The murders and things you hear about in DC are not normally in the parts of town a normal tourist would find themselves in. Be smart. Don't ride the subway at 2am and things like that.

Rabid anti-gun group preps canned response. In other news, the Pope is Catholic, Elvis liked fried peanut butter and banana sammiches, and there was a fire in a crappy part of town. News at 11....

If it's scoped, you can take it to any Academy sports to be bore sighted for free (rifle must be cased and declared when entering the store). That will at least put you on paper when you get to the range. Then you'll just need to make small adjustments to dial it in better.

There may be stuff about that. Some homeowners policies have a general liability clause that applies to all of your personal activities (but not if you're running a business) regardless of location. You have to read the policy well to know for sure. If you have questions, talk to your agent and let them know why you want the coverage. They can best advise on what to get.

More fan art awesomeness:

Umbrellas usually start at 1 million and go up from there. Agreed about watching the language on the policy. They're often just add ins to your homeowners or renters policy so the restrictions may be listed in that policy. They kick in after the homeowner policy limits are reached.

Just get a general liability umbrella policy. Then you're covered for other stuff besides a shooting too.

They took a shortcut through the pine forests of northern Illinois/Indiana.....

See?

Before you corrected/changed it, someone else has already loaded the thread. That more or less freezes it to them. They can then click 'Quote'. That captures the original content to their "reply" window. It then took them some time to finish their thoughts and hit 'Post', so you were able to correct/change it...time lapses....they finally hit post. So a long delay in their loading the thread until clicking Quote, or a long delay from then until clicking Post will result in a funny looking time delay.

Almost as cool as Herschel's 100rd shotgun on The Walking Dead.

Did anyone else notice that demolition girl was able to rig the place to blow (and later a whole bridge), but wasn't able to make a grenade-like explosive to lob over the dumpster to get the captain, or the other attackers? Of course if the shooter had done what we all thought, that wouldn't have been necessary. Or the captain sending guys in one at a time to run him out of bullets instead of all at once...a sniper can only shoot so fast and can't repel a commited mob with only 10-20 yards of ground between them. Plus nobody on milita side using suppresive fire, even it is with muzzies. PLus, it's one guy on a roof of a 4-sided building...I guess the captain was never taught about flanking. Tactically, it was dumb on both sides, but keeping the captain alive and the main characters alive let them move the story along by revealing Miles' connection to the militia.

What am I missing here? It sounds like an audit turned up some weak practices in their training and procedures and they are suggesting changes to correct them. If this is about "Why does the IRS have guns? They're going to use them with the 25 bazillion bullets DHS just bought!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1!!", if I was having to go knock on someone's door while running a criminal investigation, I'd be armed and trained too.

According to IMFDB, it's a Remington 700 http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Revolution_(TV_Series)#Sniper_Rifles

I just finished Ep. 3. I suppose I will let the TiVo pick up some more episodes while I wait to hear if it's getting canned or not. IF it's going to make it, I'll probably keep watching. So far it's not making me want more, the way Jericho* did. * A non-cable network show about SHTF that did NOT suck until it got rushed to get canned.

I have a blued Beretta and a stainless Taurus. The finish on the Taurus is good, and the internals are pretty clean, but the Beretta is better. The trigger on the Beretta is a world apart from the Taurus. It's much smoother. The parts also fit a bit tighter. There's a tiny bit more slop to the Taurus. Not enough to affect performance, but if you're really looking close you'd notice. The Beretta is a superior gun. How superior ($$$) is a matter of opinion. Note that the way the safeties behave is different. I don't care about frame (Taurus) vs. slide (Beretta) location, but the Beretta is up for fire, down for safe (which also decocks). The Taurus is up for safe, down for fire, then all the way down for decock. I like that you can be on cocked and locked with the Taurus, but not that you have to pass from safe through fire to get to decock. Besides the obvious safety concern there, I find it more natural when grabbing the gun to flick my thumb up (Beretta) instead of bringing it over the top (Taurus) of the safety lever and down to go from safe to fire. I also hate how Taurus feels the need to emblazon their giant TAURUS logo on their slides.

Since the rebuild, I have not found any postings in the parking lots, roads, doors, or anywhere else except the tiny one at Regal.

You dug up a 2 month old thread to critique someone's grammar? You stay classy, AWM.
