[Guest Irishman]

Hello to all members.

First I would like to say even though I live in the north my heart lies in Tennessee.

I've been bitten by the gun collecting bug so I look forward to gaining much knowledge and insight from this wonderful group.

:wave:

Welcome from an Illinois transplant. Moved here from Champaign 15 years ago.

Ground breaking pro 2nd amendment stuff coming bout of the 7th and Illinois Supreme Court right now. How you doing with all your gun laws in turmoil right now?

[Guest copperhead_1911]

Welcome. One rule most will agree on. Don't matter were you are from. Just dont bring those yankee ideas here  :wave:

[Hozzie]

Welcome.  I grew up in Manteno about 45 miles south of the city.  I have some good memories there, but glad to be in TN.

Didn't realize we had so many damn yankees around here. I was born and raised in the Wheaton and Naperville areas.

I was born in Lincoln IL during a couple month job my Dad was doing. Our home was in Columbia TN at the time, but I still catch hell from my buddys, "You were born in Illinois!?!?" Haha

[Joe357]

I was born in a hospital, does that make me a Yankee or a Rebel?
I know what state was I born in,I think the state of confusion.

Sorry all I just had to do it :)

Anyway welcome ;)

Remember a damn yankee is someone who comes south and won't assimilate. That guy who is senator from VA Kaine is a great example of a damn yankee

I lived in Fairview Heights when I was an airman.

I was always under the impression that a damn yankee was one that wouldn't go back.  :shrug:

 It was but with all the scalawags ( Landrieu, Pryor, Hagan, to name a few) patriotic yankees are a welcome addition. I was surprised when i met my wife ( from PA) how much some small town people have with decent southern folks. Lots of them are seeing the light of how bad big government is.
