Thanks Hozzie. What price range should I be looking in to get something good for my purposes? I can wait and save. In the old thread, I was keeping it <$500. I've now grown out to around the $800 mark. I can keep waiting and saving if it means I'll end up with something much better in the end. I just dont want to wait for years to finally have enough for a new Beretta Golden Super Deluxe Diamond Crow with a fringe on top, or whatever they name their latest. I swear some of these shotgun makers took a play from the Chinese restaurant naming book. Take about 6 terms and randomly jumble them together.

Thanks guys. Is there a reason besides appearances to go for a higher end gun like a used Beretta instead of a new CZ for what I'm looking to do with it? Are those multi-thousand dollar Italian jobs really that much better than a CZ, or a Stoeger? Keep in mind that I don't plan to get competitive with this. Just shooting for fun. I do think I want to stick with O/U. They look a lot easier to clean, and with fewer parts, should last longer, right?

I had a great time yesterday at the Nashville Gun Club on the sporting clays course. It was my second time shooting and I really like it. I need to pick up a gun of my own if I'm going to keep doing this. I was using someone else's Beretta Silver Pigeon. I don't see myself ever hunting or shooting clays competitively or keeping score. Just going out a few times a year and shooting with friends for the fun of it. I had been looking at the Beretta 3901 semi-auto, but it seems like everyone I saw yesterday was using an O/U. Is CZ-USA as big of a sleeper brand in shottys as it is in handguns or would I be better served to spend more on a Browning, Beretta, etc.? CZ 12ga. O/U's are running in the $500-$1000 range, depending on model. I'd like to stay in the $500-$750 range.

Nice. I'll just have to hold my nose (and tatsebuds) at Applebee's lousy food and give you some business.

Found this sign today while out.
monkeylizard replied to vontar's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
That's wronger than a wrong thing that is wrong. Here's the current 39-17-1359. Michie's Legal Resources The sign has to be the gunbuster or have language substantially similar to the phrasing on the law. 39-17-1359.(.(3).( now clarifies what "substantially similar" means. 39-17-1359.(.(3).( As used in this section, “language substantially similar to” means the sign contains language plainly stating that: (i) The property is posted under authority of Tennessee law; (ii) Weapons or firearms are prohibited on the property, in the building, or on the portion of the property or building that is posted; and (iii) Possessing a weapon in an area that has been posted is a criminal offense. The one in the OP doesn't qualify for 2 out of 3. I'll call that one FAIL. However, it's been said on TGO in several threads that carrying past a sign (legal or not) has not been brought into a TN court room. Nobody seems eager to be the first. With the sign in the OP, I would carry past it if I had to go in. Concealed. It's not against the law as most people seem to understand it around here.. -
Not unless we're in Belle Meade.

I stopped in today and probably won't be back. If I want to be ignored and then pay that kind of money, I'll go to Franklin.

A bad fuse was my thought too, until he said headlights. I don't have a fuse box diagram for a CR-V, but I don't think I've ever seen a vehicle not have the headlights on its own fuse. Try www.automotiveforums.com I've always had good luck with help from their model specific sub-forums. I'd also run it over to Advance Auto Parts and have them run a free OBD check. The computer may be throwing out some error codes, but nothing serious enough to activate the "Check Engine" light. If it is, those codes will help you figure out the problem.

I'm in. I'll bring a Walther P-22 for you to try out. -
New computer - to buy or NOT to buy? and what?
monkeylizard replied to mousegunner's topic in General Chat
Win 7 has some better security features that are kind of invisible. Mostly, it just looks like a better XP. I looooove the "snap" feature. when I go to work and have to use XP, I keep trying to "snap" my windows to the sides. It sounds like you're the kind of guy who keeps his PC around for a long time. Do you really want to spend money on a new PC and have it running a 9 year old OS? Make the move to Win7. Some older peripherals can be a problem, especially advanced features. My HP all-in-one would print fine with 7 and the card reader worked, but there was no driver for the scanner. I was able to find one for a different HP model that works fine. Then I bought a new all-in-one because I got tired of the old one breaking down on me every few days. My old Kodak software doesn't work right either, but the Libraries feature in Win7 makes me not need the Kodak software. -
Zombies must know how to use riding mowers. The grass in the park wasn't 3 weeks high.

No, that would be Plaxico Buress

Many malls are this way. It seems that to be in the letter of the law, there would need to be a posting at each entrance from the department stores to the mall itself. Most malls just have them on their direct doors, and on the "Rules of Conduct" sign that's written in 8 point font and shoved off to the side of the Information desk that nobody uses. As far as whether or not a DA would prosecute and if the case would be succesful remains unknown. I don't want to be the case study on that one.

Yep. Brentwood PD just switched from Glock .40 to M&P .45.

I have a CompTac Minotaur for my XD subcompact. It's IWB. That one and the Crossbreed SuperTuck are very popular and comparable in their quality and functionality.

Not looking too good for Doug Jackson tonight...

Is Jason Mumpower no longer favored to become speaker? -
Is he home most of the time, or should I call ahead to be sure he'll be there?

That looked liked a great meet. What's the process for becoming a CHMR member? The website only says it's $40/year, but doesn't say how to join.

He had a magic TV bandage that kept his wound clean and his body hydrated.

5th district - Cooper vs. Hall: Thoughts?
monkeylizard replied to shortround's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Cooper's back in again. He will be until he decides to retire. -
+1 to that. The West side has the lightest interstate traffic if that's a concern.

I know the OP said no Davidson Co., but the northwestern section isn't over developed and won't be until some expensive bridges get built. The Joelton area for example.

There was an undetermined amount of time from when he gets smacked with a shovel and when he comes to in the house. Maybe it was long enough to recover. As for alone in the hospital, just remember to baricade your hospital room door from the outside with a rolling gurney. It seemed to work for this guy.

Congrats. And +1 to needing to share which eatery.
