I've heard from a reliable source, that Obama is going to sign an EO to allow the UN to conduct gun safe searches via IR satellite surveillance.....and you don't even have to roll down your driver side window.   :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

Bad cops are out there. And some play games. Excuse the long windiness, but this needs to be told just as it happened..... I was working at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant back in the early 90's.  I had an older Ford Pickup step-side a  '81 or so, I was planning on fix'n up.  It had no radio, no air, but had new paint and ran pretty smooth for an inline 6 cylinder.  I got off work at 0330 and was driving from the plant down Sequoyah road towards Trenton ga where I lived. I was driving the speed limit, and couldn't wait to get to a krystal for a few gut bombs. As I drove under the new (at the time) overpass to get on Hwy 27 I saw there was 2 of Soddy Daisy's finest in 2 cars parked side by side up on the slanted concrete shoot'n the breeze I suppose. I was not speeding at all just riding along with my windows down, Tired from a 10 hour shift and trying to enjoy the night air.  Not another vehicle was in sight in any direction.  I made the right turn on the loop to Hwy 27, got on the 4 lane and ran her up to 55MPH. I didn't have cruise. A minute later, I looked in my mirror and here came both police cars blasting up on my rear.  I knew what was coming and just kept her on 55 to see what they had in mind.  Well, one came up right on my bumper and the other right at my back tire.  They both hit the lights and I just eased off the gas without hitting the brakes and let it coast to the side. Neither one of these "officers" was over 25 years old. One stood out to the side with his hand on his pistol, while the other came up to the window shining his flashlight in my eyes.  I just handed him my DL, INS, and REG and said "please don't shine that light in my eyes. I just got off of a 10 hour shift at Sequoyah and I'm tired". Flashlight guy says "I pulled you over because I heard loud music coming from your truck as you went by."  I said "REALLY..??  that's strange because I don't even have a radio in this thing. But I have to ask, if I decide to get a radio, just how loud is illegally loud? Before you answer, I'll tell you I grew up beside and went to school with the current Mayor of Soddy Daisy and know him very well." Well guess what?  I was quickly handed my "stuff" and told "the music must have been coming from someone else, have a safe ride home." Both of these twerps knew I could get them in trouble, but it was months before I mentioned this to anyone that mattered. Both were already gone from the force. I don't know why.  This is just how some guys act when they get a badge and a little authority.  It goes to their head and they just can't handle it.  This is probably the reason these guys wanted the jobs. To "Play Cop" not really BE COPS.  Not taking the job and responsibility seriously I mean. I respect all of you guys that ARE COPS...and don't just "Play Cop".  If you get high from the authority, you know who you are, then be honest with yourselves and give it up.

Might be good for everybody in this area to go in, look around and make our way over to those $70 bricks, then just shake our heads and walk out.

those 22lr prices are BS...... May as well go to Bentons if im gonna get raped. oh...thanks for the warning though.

I truly hope that day never comes....If it does, i may try to warn if time permits but I'm not sure i can talk that fast. These people are not gonna bust your door down and stand there. they're gonna be coming at you HARD & FAST. They're gonna be armed and the first person to shoot may be the last man standing. I want to be that guy...the life of my family would depend on that being the outcome.

LOL...good one!

DITTO......same here.

Yep...that, cheap labor and relaxed safety rules is what drives American manufacturers to become foreign manufacturers.

this was the deal breaker for me buying a membership at Shooters Depot here in Chattanooga. their lanes are set up so your brass goes out onto the range. I had paperwork filled out to join. i asked how can i get my brass? Dude says you dont....i asked why cant i have my brass back to reload and was told because we sell it...thats why....I tore up the papers and waked out. Aint been back either.

A very interesting perspective on the right to provide for your own protection and the reasons the state is not obligated to provide protection to anyone. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/08/19/The-Government-Won-t-Protect-You-Right-to-Self-Defense-and-the-Duty-to-Protect

Yeah really...like talking about liberty, rights and making the world a better place is a BAD thing....or even worse, the enemy of the USA?.....

I get sick and tired of the world standing and pointing at crap like this, turning to us and saying " DO SOMETHING...Don't just stand there."...let the other freeloading countries spend their money and shed their blood if they are so concerned. And another thing is this. These people and most of the middle east hate our guts and protest us in the streets and would kill Americans on sight given half a chance. Why get involved at all? We need to cut all aide to these people, use the money to develop our own oil reserves and make ourselves self reliant on oil and stay out of all Muslim countries is my line of thinking.

Oh crap...there will be a crow circling you every where you go for the next month with HLS on its side in tiny letters.....seriously, glad you are ok. That kind of accident could cause a really bad eye injury too.

Very true Leroy.....but they have to be ready to hang with the dictator when he falls.....like Saddams half brother and at least one of his aides.....

Chattanooga and Cleveland has job opportunities. Amazon and Volkswagen. For instance.

The Media is the most racist force on this earth.

I've never hunted squirrel until after the leaves fall, since I was 16 - 17 years old....yes you could hunt alone at that age 45 years ago...LOL.

I'm just not sure what you mean CS. Your statement: "The notion that a person is the best determiner of how to live his/her life and that the role of the state is only to protect the ability to live by those choices without forceful infringement by others is a wholly and completely radical idea." seems to me to describe "The Great American Experiment" which was unique (Radical?...that term seems to be extreme to me) but also a huge success for freedom until recent history due to liberal intervention and made this nation the strongest in the history of the world and the country everyone wanted to live in. (A fact not mentioned by the minions that hold the views reported in said article) It's almost like you're saying the issue reported in "The Blaze" is a GOOD thing, and the view being presented should not offend anyone and "get their panties in a wad".....I don't agree with the notion our founding fathers fighting for their freedom were terrorists extremists when they were fighting against a tyrannical king trying to throw his loop of oppression over them, when this was the reason they left "His" country to begin with.....

I guess that's the answer to Merle Haggards old song "Are the good times really over for good?" I also guess that means the estimated 50 million households that are gun owners are all extremists using their definition?

Morality is deteriorating rapidly in many people and since it is the driving force of decency and love for your fellow man, every thing good is going down the tubes at an accelerated rate We ain't seen nothing yet....

I buy the Rio's, Winchester, or whatever is cheapest 20 ga. 7.5 or 8's at Academy.  I get a case at a time. I have several cases because my wife and I both shoot 20 ga.  I've still got a couple left from last summer.  I believe they came out to about 4.98 a box when I bought these.  I don't know what they are now.  But I've never not had fun while shooting the cheap stuff.  I thought about reloading, but as long as I can buy a box for under $6 or so, I'll just buy them.

It says it's no longer active.

You'd have to buy grease by the barrel to keep that many moving parts, axles and bearings greased..!!!!
