Ok. Thanks. I thought that's what it was. but I thought she said something like he chained Jesse and Sam. I agree with Carol. Coward assed wife beaters should die.

For some reason I could not understand what Carol said to Rick about what Pete had done to Jesse and Sam after she had gone to the house and Pete wouldn't let her in or let her see past the door. Did anyone catch it?

Getting a little personal aintcha?  LOL.

Another awesome knife from a TGO member!! We've got a lot of talent for knife making on this site, that's for sure. The bottle opener is a great idea to me!! What would that knife cost to another TGO'er? :angel:

I have a question about the ranging numbers on the left. Were they already white, or did you have to restore the white color to them? They look like crap in the first pic, but either cleaned up really nice or you did a top notch job of restoring the white to the numbers.

Very good JOB..!!  :up:

I used to look everywhere for screws, bolts, pins, etc...and I always ended up at Ace and left with exactly what I needed. Now I go to Ace FIRST. In the rare event that they don't have it, I GO HOME. Because if they don't have it I know nobody has it.  'Ol John Madden was right....Ace really IS the place!!

Following is the contents of an email I received this morning. NOT good news at all.   Dear TFA Member and Supporter:   We now have proof that your fundamental rights that are recognized under the Second Amendment are under attack by Tennessee's legislative leadership!  This report from the Tennessee Spotlight (used with permission) sheds light on the shenanigans from the House of Representatives!   Tennessee Spotlight reports this morning:   Wednesday committee hearings reported out a sad outcome for liberty and constitutional government in Tennessee.   Having been set up by committee chairs as "Gun Bill" hearings, it was more like "'unable to fight' at the OK Corral". Realizing this, several bill sponsors chose to roll their bills to a future date. Those who chose to present were treated to a shellacking unseen in many hearings...and not because there was vigorous debate. There was little debate.   The committee in question was House Civil Justice Subcommittee, chaired by Coley from Memphis, and populated by Jones from Nashville, Beck from Nashville, Lundberg from Bristol, Carter from Chattanooga, and Wilburn from Somerville in West Tennessee.   Tennessee Spotlight exists to cover not just the substance of legislation (see tnspotlight.org for Issues) but the process by which it progresses or is killed off. Part of the process is the organization of the committees, including who chairs them. It is clear from this session that the committee organization part of the process is critical. The Speaker of the House is the person who does this. To any critical thinker, the fix was in from the start. Also note the Governor had made it clear that he had "flagged" many of these bills as unacceptable.   HB0994 by Todd, SB1058 by Green clarifies the ability of an employee to appeal a job termination if he/she believes the termination to be based solely upon the discovery of a firearm in his/her vehicle parked on company property. Jones asked if property rights were being considered in this legislation since "if I don't want you to bring your dog into my yard, you shouldn't do it. It's my property." Todd never answered her question but focused on the burden of proof aspect of the bill. This question keeps getting asked by people who refuse to allow employees the right to defend themselves to and from work. The bill eventually passed on a voice vote.   Sen. Mark Green's bill (SB0149) to eliminate from unlawful zones any areas "used" by schools had passed out of Senate Judiciary the day before 6-2-1. The bill was carried in the house by Debra Moody (HB0173) from Covington in West Tennessee.   The essence of the bill was the need to remove the word "use" from language in the current statute. Tennesseans are currently prohibited from carrying firearms onto property owned, administered, or "used" for school purposes. In a previous Attorney General ruling, he offered that a person carrying a firearm otherwise legally in a place where students are present in an official school function would be in violation of the statute. Thus, if your city allowed the legal carrying of firearms in a city park and the local middle school came there to play a baseball game (This kept getting brought up in Senate Judiciary), you would be in violation of the statute. The bill merely asked for the elimination of the word "use". There was little debate. The bill got a motion by Carter, but was killed for lack of a second.   Micah Van Huss brought HB0684, which merely restates the Tennessee State Constitution into law. "Article I, Section 26, "That the citizens of this state have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defense; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime." There is not one single statistic that shows the added carrying of firearms does anything other than prevent crime. Just look at the recent drop in violent crime statistics coming out of Chicago.   Once again, the debate that did occur on this bill came mainly from the two Democrats on the committee. Jones went so far as to equate the intelligence of the Framers of the Constitution with backwoods hicks since "these were people who didn't have running water and indoor toilets" who wrote the 2nd Amendment. Beck offered that tourism is suffering now in Georgia because they enacted the same law last year. That statement, as I learned in Logic Class years ago, is an unfounded assertion. Carter asked the sponsor if the bill demanded that individuals wear firearms. Of course, the answer was no. Carter moved the bill but there was no second. The bill failed to even get to a voice vote. Well, I guess if you don't consider the fact that the three remaining Republicans on the committee, Lundberg, Coley and Wilburn didn't even open their mouths.   This bill had 24 House Sponsors. There are only six people on the committee.   HB0240 by Reedy, SB0207 by Niceley, which basically allows a gun dealer to skip the background check on a permit holder was presented. No debate. No nothing. No motion. No second. Bill failed. Here is an example of a bill trying to simplify the process of commerce while adhering to the intent of the law and saving the customer money. Bottom line. If you were to go into a gun store and buy a firearm every day for seven days, the merchant would be required to run the same background check every day and you would have to pay the same fee every time, regardless if you had just been cleared to receive a carry permit and passed all the state and federal background checks. The final indignity, among many, was the presentation of HJR0072 by Pody which allows for the popular election of the Attorney General. Pody had asked longtime constitutional defender John Jay Hooker to testify on behalf of the law. Hooker, who has forgotten more about the Tennessee Constitution that the entire committee knows, gave an impassioned historical and legal perspective on the need for Tennesseans to be enfranchised to vote for the AG. (Do yourself a favor and watch the video here.) Why is this important?   Hooker reminded the committee that Tennessee was the only state where the Supreme Court appoints the AG and that, in the past, when the Supreme Court Justices were actually elected by the people, this gave the people control over who served as AG. However, with the justices having been unconstitutionally appointed by the Governor for the past 40 years, there was no check on the AG selection by the people.   Remember, the Tennessee AG refused to join over twenty-five other states who opposed ObamaCare. Also remember, that the organization that misinformed Tennesseans about Amendment 2 was just cited by the Tennessee registry of Election Finance to be in potential violation of election laws and an investigation is ongoing to determine who the organization actually was. The only discussion was the fact that people didn't want the position of AG to become political and that in states where the AG was elected, it was seen as a stepping stone to become Governor. Pody had researched the issue and only 16% of the time has this happened. Lundberg asked what the percentage was where the AG had "run" for Governor. Pody did not know that answer. Far be it from elected officials doing anything "political".   It did not go unnoticed that following the adjournment of the committee that Bill Gibbons, Commissioner of Safety (?), came into the room to congratulate the members. Pretty obvious, huh?   Finally, the takeaway from this charade is the fact that only 6 out of 132 members of the General Assembly decided that legislation of this import was not worthy to be voted on by the Members. Over six million Tennesseans were disenfranchised by these shenanigans. We can and will do better.   Jeff Hartline, Executive Director Tennessee Spotlight John Harris TFA Volunteer Executive Director   P.S.   If you are a TFA member, we need your continued member support.  Share this email with your friends and on Facebook.

I have a neighbor that likes chicken livers almost as much as I do. Personally, I've got to have pinto's, mashed tators and some really good southern cole slaw with mine. You can find it ALL at any Western Sizzlin steak house on the buffet. The livers are tender and lightly breaded, slaw is great and beans/mashed tators are pretty fine also. We make a run about 2 times a month.   You can find one here:   http://www.western-sizzlin.com/

I think it was a test by Obama to see if he could get it done. If so, then it would have been KATY BAR THE DOOR. The Liberal push turn all firearms into hammers would have begun.

Hypocrite..!!!  If that's the way he believes, then the same goes for his movies.

  Exellent post in my opinion!!

I was recently in the market for a deer rifle. I priced them all around including Walmart. I settled on a 783 Remington in 30-06 and bought it at Academy Sports. Best price and painless purchase. I also bought some ammo for the rifle at the same time.

  I wondered about that also. The braces should be on the inside for several reasons. With them on the outside, a group of attackers could use them to climb up the wall to the top and use a rope to get in from the top. The supports could also be removed from outside with no one on the inside being able to see them. With that in mind, maybe you are right about them being there to keep people in for the same reasons. It's definitely strange and is going to play into something bad for the group eventually I think.

30 minutes to show time. Will tonight's episode end IN the camp with everyone full and happy? Or with our group shooting their way out and RUNNING again?

  Well, we all know how reading is loathed in Washington. I'm sure the other 435 are too busy playing politics to read the letter.

I havn't paid for a haircut in years. I just set the clippers for 3/8" and LET 'ER RIP!  Finish trim with a bear trimmer and I'm done.

I have 9+" of snow on the ground. Probably because I have no trees in my yard at all and it just piles up.

It only works for Democrats.

  Exactly. It's still practically impossible to find 22LR at wally world, Academy, Sportsmans, etc...I saw some at the last gun show a couple of weeks ago. 350 Bricks for $49.

I agree to never consent to a search, but then some of the LEO's in our great country feel it's ok to bypass you're rights by bringing in the dog that's been taught to "alert" on command. Then they'll do it anyway.

Something has to go south in this new community like it did at the farm and at the prison or there would be no show. The think I thought was very odd and would have tripped my alarm was Aaron saying the "group picture" he took didn't pan out due to overexposure when Michohnne asked.  Yeah right.

I can't understand where they are getting the gas for all the vehicles they are driving. I think in reality, the gas would be really bad after so long of sitting in an automobiles tank. They're having trouble now finding food and water, but the vehicles just keep on running? 

Looks like whenever he's confronted with a fight or flight situation he chooses FLIGHT

I'm wanting to buy a 2014 Yamaha Grizzly 450 auto with EPS and they seem to have some good deals on them. It's a bit of a drive from Chattanooga, but I'm willing if I can get a good deal. How are they? If I tell them I'm on my way to get one please hold it will they do it?  I have cash so there won't be any financing.  I'm leery of driving so far on a promise not knowing anything about them. Any help will be appreciated.   Also, will one of these things fit in the back of my Dodge Quad cab? it has a 6' bed.   Thanks!!
