well, yeah. If they drew her ugly, Victor9er might have gotten them confused and shot the wrong one.

Or eat almost none of it on Friday so they can have something over the weekend. Backpack programs are a very rewarding way to get involved without a major time commitment. If you can bag groceries, you can do this. How about a TGO volunteer day at the Nashville Second Harvest Food Bank? Second Harvest» Volunteer

Nashville Storefront for Reloading supplys
monkeylizard replied to a topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Nashville Sporting Arms on Charlotte beside the Nashville West shopping area is probably the closest to you. Not a huge selection of supplies like Reloader's Bench, but it's close and the folks that are running it now are super nice. -
That's great. I actually like your version better. It's easier to read and well organized.

Sure, but did you have Charlie's permission to copy his stuff? A redirect URL could get the results you're looking for on a web search without making a whole seperate site. Just something to think about. I can't speak for Charlie, but he may or may not want his site showing up on the top of Google.

I always just google "CHMR". It's always one of the top 5 results. It's #2 right now. It's not hard to find. "CHMR owl hollow" makes it the #1 result on Google. Unless I'm missing something, this looks like you made a whole new site with info and pics that were copied from the real CHMR site. It doesn't look like a simple redirect URL. Is this being done with Charlie's permission? I know I'd not be happy if someone basically copied my site and didn't bother to ask first. Not to mention that if he ever updates his (not likely, I know), yours would have out dated information.

RichieRich may be on to something. Are you sure you needed to pull your shirt down and not pull your pants up? Plumber's butt can make a person lose their appetite.

I watched Resident Evil yesterday. I want those 2 hours of my life back.

When I ordered 4 cans, it came in 2 wooden cases (2 cans in each wooden case). One can opener was included in each case attached to the underside of the lid. If I didn't have the can opener, then a putty knife/chisel and a hammer would do the trick. The can metal is pretty thin.

Federal ban at medical facilities????
monkeylizard replied to Sky King's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Thanks for the link to the GFSZA. It looks like it only applies to elementary and secondary schools. So it's still a non-issue for teaching hospitals which would be part of a university system. Right? -
Federal ban at medical facilities????
monkeylizard replied to Sky King's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Is there still a federal law against carry in school zones? I thought the SCOTUS killed that with US vs. Lopez in 1995. -
If not posted is it "Ok" to carry???
monkeylizard replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
That's true. I wonder how they'd handle that if an HCP holder legally carried into an unposted courthouse building and ran the handgun through the X-ray machine. -
Is this still available?

And a large part of that comes back to their cost of inventory. If a business has a competitor selling product for less than they can buy it, they have to (a) find new ways to motivate the supplier to lower costs ( find a new supplier or © go out of business. Option (d) is hope people don't find out about the lower priced competitor, but that's just biding time until ©.

OK...let me re-phrase that... Any natural leaders (NOT alpha males) looking for a youthful sidekick?

There's no question that dealers like Bud's, GlockWorld, and CDNN have changed the game. So did Amazon and iTunes. The locals need to find a way to lean on their distributors a LOT more or they'll be the next Blockbuster, Borders, or Tower Records. Bud's saw the power of the Internet and jumped on it. I don't know why local shops can't do the same thing. I understand their costs are higher from the distributors, but you have to start somewhere. An e-store with an inventory system isn't horribly expensive to setup and can really drive a lot of traffic, both in e-sales and in getting customers into the store. Plus it cuts down on phone calls tying up staff telling customers if a gun is in stock and what the asking price is. A website with an address, phone number, and picture of the store? Please. Just take out an ad in the Yellow Pages. 1992 will be right with you.

monkeylizard replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
You're correct. Look extra carefully for the sign though. The Metro Nashville libraries are posted, but with a clear backed sticker on tinted glass doors with a gun & knife in the circle-slash about the size of a half-dollar. Easy to miss whn placed beside the much larger and white backed no smoking stickers. Court houses aren't off limits unless posted. Any room with a judicial proceeding is. That would be an unposted court room while court is in session, but that court room is OK if court is not in session. Common areas of the court room would fine at all times unless the building is posted. Likewise, a judge could be holding a proceeding in a hospital room, making that off limits even if the hospital is an unposted building. -

yep...that's the big giant turd I was talking about. -
TLC's Livin' for the Apocalypse
monkeylizard replied to monkeylizard's topic in Survival and Preparedness
True. They could have done something more measured with experts from places like FEMA or the CDC showing how to build a "normal" emergency prep kit and focused on different items need depending on geography. They could have even featured people who had survived disasters using their kits after hurricanes, tornados, floods, etc. But that would look like a big giant turd in the ratings lists next to Jackie and Gidget and their little dog. -

TLC's Livin' for the Apocalypse
monkeylizard replied to monkeylizard's topic in Survival and Preparedness
I don't know that being prepared for a normal emergency is considered extreme, but when being prepared for an emergency consists of a storm shelter/root cellar at home, and a stocked up bomb shelter at work with sleeping quarters for the whole extended family, and a bug out camp in the mountains (not to mention farming tilapia in the backyard swimming pool), it's not really what a typical person is doing to prepare for a normal emergency. I'm not saying I wouldn't like some of those setups myself, but it certainly is extreme. Not as extreme as say buying a surplus ICBM silo and going ahead and moving in, but extreme nonetheless. The show didn't exactly feature people with 25-50 gallons of water, a few cases of MREs, a small genny, and spare batteries for their flashlight. They found some people preparing for the end of society, not for a week without power after a storm. That's not what most people do and is therefore by definition "extreme". Unless they turn out to be right, then they're just smart. One of the nice things about the "green" movement is that sustainability and self-sufficiency will become more and more feasible for a lot of folks as that technology develops, prices drop, and installation becomes more standardized. Whether one sets up, say, a solar array with some yet-to-be-developed advanced battery storage becaue they think it's good for Mother Earth or because they think the zombehs are coming, or they're just cheap and tired of paying electric bills, the tech's all the same. Then being self sufficient isn't extreme. It becomes the new normal. Popular Science ran an article several months ago about a commune out west with a pretty even mix of survivalist/armageddon folks, and tree-hugging dirt people. They all had different reasons for being there, but got along great because they were all doing the same things and helping one another get better at it, just for different reasons. It would make a very interesting case study in human sociology. -
