  1. As long as we have government handouts, they will come. It's like seed in a bird feeder. If there is seed in the feeder, the birds will be there. No seed no birds.
  2. Happy birthday and welcome.

    Ruger SR40c?

    I love my 9c. If it's as good as it's a WINNER.
  4. I have to agree with this. If the wrong person saw his gun, the next thing you know you have some screaming Lib. pointing at him saying he has a gun. No use drawing attention to yourself. Pocket carry or IWB.
  5. Welcome. For indoor range I usually go to Coal Creek. Mostly pistol here. It's in west Knoxville. A lot of us go to Norris. It's an outdoor range north of Knoxville.
  6. If someone is carrying open, I notice. I don't go out of my way to look to see if I see a pocket print of a gun in their waist band.
  7. Not a smart move on her part. Get the license number and let police do their job. Besides, it wasn't even HER beer!

  9. I was there yesterday. Price was $719.99
  10. I saw one at Bill's Outpost in Alcoa last week. Wanted between $750- $800 for non converted.
  11. Thanks for the review. I have also wanted one of these and was thinking of the Glock Mag. version. What future options would the Beretta Mag version have the the Glock wouldn't?
  12. In other words, "They threw him under the bus". So True. He was no longer any use to them.
  13. If Mr. Werner had not come out lying about this, he may have been OK. Embarrassed and looking like the arrogant ass he is, yes. He is, was a representative of the people. He showed disrespect to the people he represented and to the office he held. I am glad he is gone. Not for what he did. But for who who is.
  14. Glad to see Tennessee among the eight. Need 42 more to join.
  15. i have owned one for a couple of years. can never stop buying things for it. Must be female!!
  16. Lawmakers File Suit Against Obama Administration Over Libya Operation Published June 15, 2011 | FoxNews.com Read more: Lawmakers File Suit Against Obama Administration Over Libya Operation - FoxNews.com A group of lawmakers filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the Obama administration, questioning the constitutional and legal justifications for military action in Libya. The bipartisan group is being led by Reps. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and Walter Jones, R-N.C., and includes GOP presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul. Tuesday: A Rebel fighter wearing FC Barcelona soccer player Lionel Mess T-shirt stands next to his heavy weapon, preparing for clashes with pro-Muammar al-Qaddafi forces at the front line of Dafniya, about 25 miles west of Misrata, Libya. According to the complaint, a copy of which was obtained by Fox News, the group is seeking "injunctive and declaratory relief to protect the plaintiffs and the country from a stated policy of defendant Barack Obama, president of the United States, whereby a president may unilaterally go to war in Libya and other countries without the declaration of war from Congress required by Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the United States Constitution." The suit says the lawmakers are also seeking a judge to rule that the president may not commit the U.S. to war under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or under the authority of the United Nations, or in violation of the War Powers Resolution requiring congressional authorization for the use of military force. It also calls for a ruling that the president may not use "funds, previously appropriated by Congress, for unconstitutional and unauthorized wars in Libya or other countries." Kucinich said the intent of the lawsuit was to "correct an imbalance." "This is an opportunity to rectify a direction that America has been going without the support of the Constitution," said Jones, who appeared with a group of lawmakers at the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. The White House has argued for months that NATO is not leading the way in Libya and so the president doesn't need permission from Congress to keep American forces fighting in the battle to topple Muammar al-Qaddafi's regime. White House spokesman Jay Carney has also argued at multiple press briefings that the administration is working within the parameters of the law. The suit, however, offers examples that the plaintiffs say demonstrate all the hallmarks of American engagement in war, including the use of U.S. military forces, equipment and money in a bombing campaign against a sovereign nation and with the aim of taking out its leader. It notes that Libya is not a part of NATO, whose treaty permits military action only in the course of self-defense in the event that a NATO member in Europe or North America is attacked. The suit comes ahead of a deadline by the House of Representatives, which asked the Obama administration to detail its justification for military action in Libya and explain the endgame there. The complainants want to file the suit ahead of the Friday House deadline. On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner blasted President Obama for not giving Congress any sense of whether the Executive branch will comply with federal law requiring congressional approval for war operations. In a letter to the president, the Ohio Republican said Sunday marks 90 days since the March 19 start of military operations in Libya. Boehner asked the president to explain to Congress how the operation is outside the scope of the War Powers Act, which requires congressional approval for military action, and if he can't, Boehner warned the White House to get on the right side of the law. "On June 3, 2011, the House passed a resolution which, among other provisions, made clear that the administration has not asked for, nor received, congressional authorization of the mission in Libya," Boehner's letter reads. "Therefore, it would appear that in five days, the administration will be in violation of the War Powers Resolution unless it asks for and receives authorization from Congress or withdraws all U.S. troops and resources from the mission." Several White House aides told Fox News on Wednesday a "package of materials" will be delivered to lawmakers on Capitol Hill "this afternoon" though the precise timing was not clear. On Tuesday night, NATO planes bombed Tripoli, Libya's capital and Qaddafi's stronghold. NATO has been conducting the aerial campaign in an attempt to help a loosely assembled group of rebels operating under the banner of a "National Transitional Council" to take over the country. The rebels have started to advance on several towns outside of Tripoli, though they are not yet close to seizing the capital.
