TWRA did finally confirm it when someone had trail cam footage. The last I heard, it was still unclear if any appear to be taking up residence or if they're just passing through the area on a semi-regular basis.

This is true. bud has several shirtless photos of me now. I don't like to think about what he does with them.

There will be very few 18-20 year olds honorably discharged from the military. With some exceptions, an enlistment is at least 4 years, meaning 21 would be the youngest a person would normally honorably separate, and that would be after enlisting at 17 with parental permission, if that's even still a thing. Short of reinstating the 2-year draft, the only ways I can think of an under-21 honorable discharge are going to be medical discharge or force reductions. This really is a stupid law that helps very few people and hurts us on reciprocity. It would have made sense if they had included active duty 18-20 year olds. It would have still hurt us on reciprocity, but it would have at least helped more than just a handful of special cases qualify for an HCP.

Or a force reduction draw down. Or if something like the Vietnam-era draft ever comes back, we could have 20 year old veterans after a 2 year stint.

I don't know.....some of those from the 70s are a bit . . . interesting

I thought the Sears catalog was for the bra and panties section. We'll have to revert back to old-school when the p0rn sites are down.

I don't think that was their intent at all and that's why they used the words "Incident to". As in " in order to participate in these activities, you'll usually need a device considered a weapon under state law. In those cases, you're OK." It also says "Defenses to unlawful possession or carrying of a weapon". It does not single out firearms or handguns. Fishing and trapping generally requires a knife of some kind, and camping often includes an axe or hatchet as part of the camping activities. Both of which were considered weapons at the time of 1308's passing. none of those 3 activities require a firearm, so firearm possession is not incident to those activities. Hunting and sport shooting would of course generally have firearms as part of the activity, so in those cases, firearm possession is incident to the activity.

You're on the right track. He needs to take it to an FFL in Tennessee, who will then transfer it to you. Like Dolomite said, just call your local FFL of choice and ask if they do transfers from individuals. Make sure they're OK with him bringing it in instead of having it shipped in. There's no law preventing them from doing so, but some make it a policy not to. If your FFL won't, call the next one. Repeat as needed until you find one.

Free paper road maps of TN from the state are available here: http://www.tn.gov/tdot/topic/map-ordering You can also get them at most Interstate rest areas with a Visitor Center. The laminated ones would hold up much better, of course. As for GPS and wartime, here's an article on the subject: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=86656&page=1 Since it's a military system, anything's possible, but the points in the article pass the smell test. Plus there's the GLONASS system

Nice. Reminds me of the King of The Hill episode where Bobby gets a "snipe" that turns out to be a Whooping Crane. Hilarity ensues.

I liked coach going for 2. I didn't like it not working and glad it worked out, but going to OT in that game with little momentum, on the road was not something to look forward to. I'm glad Andy Reid tried to ice Succop. That worked out very well for us. Thanks, Andy!

They already sell cheap China-made knives under the S&W brand, and nothing stops them from selling the outdoors stuff under the S&W brand. You could conceivably buy a S&W sleeping bag in the future if they choose to brand their gear that way. musicman is hitting this on the head. The company has grown beyond just firearms and accessories, so it makes sense to rebrand the overall company. It makes them less susceptible to market forces in any one section of their business because that one section isn't perceived as their only business like it is today. If the rebranding bothers you, then you can think of it as if a company named American Outdoor Brands that makes outdoor gear just bought S&W. The renaming is of course a different process than a buyout would have been, but the end result in this case is the same.

Theoretical Question: What's to stop a trustee from removing all others from the trust, buying a new item with only their prints/photo submitted, then changing the trust after the new item is received to include the old trustees again? That's obviously skirting around the intent of the regulation change, but is it illegal?

If they're only listed as heirs, then you're correct. They do not have to submit prints/photos. However, if either has access to the items without your presence (ie wife and/or son knows the combo to your safe), then they have constructive possession and should be on your trust. That's the way I understand it. TGO law dogs.... is that correct?

Mosin 91/30s are going for around 200 these days. I would skip that and look at new-production bolt-action rifles in a common cartridge like .308. I think some of those can be had for around $250-$300. Same bolt-action benefits/limitations as a Mosin, but available in new production and w/o the oddball ammunition factor. If Trump drops the import ban on goodies from Mother Russia, Mosins might make sense again for folks who want to stockpile them. The cheap shotgun is actually a decent choice for that purpose, but like you said, range becomes a factor. Slugs would help, but not as much as a real centerfire rifle. Stepping up to semi-auto, SKS rifles run about 400-450+, with beat up Norincos fetching north of $300. At that price you may as well get in on the flood of cheap ARs that are on the market now. AKs are today's AR of yesterday with WASR 10s fetching $650 while entry ARs are $450'ish. It's madness!

According to Wiki, the USFS and USAF unsuccessfully experimented with water-filled bombs as early as 1947, but then switched to the internal water tanks instead. I guess that would be the beginning of air tankers. Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen an air tanker in person. I bet any of them are pretty amazing to see in action, but 20,500 gallons (almost 3 times the Martin Mars) gushing out of the Evergreen 747 at low altitude when it was still operating would probably take the cake.

I don't know who first started using air tankers, but I know that B-17s were used after WW2 for that.

There might be. That's the hammer yet to fall in the phrase "everything is on the table". Because it started in a National PArk, the Fed has jurisdiction, but the US District Attorney has decided to allows Sevier Co. to prosecute this one.

Worriedman will know better than I would, but I think (at least one of) those bills started out good, but got completely rewritten in the process. I know the liability bill was that way. AFAIK, the NRA doesn't involve itself in our state politics, for good or ill.

I wasn't saying they're residents of both only for Form 4473 purchases, just that they are residents of both for 4473. I wouldn't know where to begin to find out residency requirements for any other purpose.

For Form 4473 purposes, they're both, Ft. Campbell soldiers can buy from FFLs in either state.

I've dropped mine many times with no damage onto brick and concrete. They're light weight and add very little bulk to the iPhone while making it a lot easier to hold. I also like that they come in colors other than black. I've used other bumpers on a different phone and never really trusted them. The Rhino Shield delivers as promised. It's all I'll use as long as they make them.
