    80th Anniversary of the Battle of The Bulge

    I was out this past Saturday at a Wreath Laying Ceremony at our National Cemetery - honor wreaths for all branches, and POW and MIA. A good opportunity to remember, honor and teach about people like your familly - who served well, and have now gone home.

    BYRNA personal protection

    There are several less-than-lethal options that I like. That one is one that I've been reading on some. BUT ... I believe (while I've never done it) you can check firearms to travel with you already. I know hunters do it with rifles rather regularly, but I've known guys who check handguns too.

    Need some help just bought 96 chris craft

    Welcome aboard: What are you trying to find out? Chris is still in business, so some things you could contact them regarding. But typically boats don't have "manuals" like cars. Your drive system will, but what you need will be based on drive type / manufacturer, not Chris Craft or the engine...

    Dolphin 14 Ft Sailboat

    Best to ask Texas Parks and Wildlife. They can tell you the path you'd need to follow and what you'd have to collect.

    Dolphin 14 Ft Sailboat

    You can find some general information about them HERE, and some on Wikipedia. I think (without photos) what you have is Dolphin's wet sailer, cat rig - very similar to the Sunfish boats that are all over. I'm guessing at the larger of the wet sailers which was the "Senior." They were one of...

    Does Anyone Know Any Halloween Songs?

    I woulda' missed it too. Opera and I have a "don't love" relationship. I don't love that I don't love it. I can get into some of it here or there, but generally struggle with it. Not sure why. I like the Motown tune though :)

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Let's redirect back to the question of required training and refresher courses for anyone who owns a firearm. Here's the OP.

    Gun ownership and permits.

    As I said, I'm erring toward overly cautious. There have been some posts that edge toward incendiary - I don't think any of it is intentional yet. But we have (in the past) had members leave over topics like this, so I'm being really careful. That might mean I'm deleting some things that don't...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    No posts have been "banned." But I've deleted a couple of posts myself because I thought there was a good chance that the discussion would head in the wrong direction. The mods are being very cautious with this topic, and for myself I've chosen to err to being overly cautious.

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Tennessee was a "carry" state even before we went to right to carry. So, under a TN carry permit you could carry open or concealed (your choice). Occasionally I'd see someone carry open, but not too often. And generally speaking no one really said too much about it. That's probably different in...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    I'm not sure how Kentucky works now, but if you want to know for Tennessee: we're a right to carry state. You don't need any permitting to own or carry an arm here in Tennessee (open or concealed). It's true, I think in all the states but at least here in Tennessee, that I am responsible for...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    I have to amend my answer then: for ownership - not necessarily the right to carry - I wouldn't support qualifying even semi-regularly. In order to carry that idea out, you have to make a lot of definitions of ownership, qualification types, etc. I can see it go potentially to type ratings like...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Ooops ... wait a second. I think I mighta' misread things: Would this be for ownership, or for carry?

    Gun ownership and permits.

    I like Speck's vibe: ^^^ I think it's fine if your state or municipality issues some type of reasonable training or renewal requirement - but based on statistics, I don't think it's necessary. And that comes from someone who has owned and carried firearms for over 30 years ... and has lost a...

    1988 Rogue 2420

    Sorry for that loss. Seems harder losing contemporaries. Worse when they have to suffer though cancer.
