It's true that salaries are lower in TN. However, the cost of living is much lower in TN, and the quality of life is better too. Unleaded gas is $2.76/ gallon in my locale. No State income tax too. Land taxes are substantially lower in TN, for example, I've been paying around $2000 for...

Good move on their part. There seems to be a migration of firearm related manufacturers moving here to Tennessee. I retired to TN two years ago, and have zero regrets. Less taxes, less laws, and less stress. Here on the Cumberland Plateau we get a few snow falls, but it melts within a day or...

Actually, I'm using lithium iron phosphate batteries, which do indeed maintain their voltage until they're almost depleted. I guess I should have specified the type of lithium battery chemistry that I use. I'm not familiar with lithium cobalt oxide batteries, I'm guessing they must be like...

I have a couple of portable systems. One is an all-in-one package, a Renogy Phoenix. It's a briefcase style system, with a lithium battery, charge controller, solar panel and inverter in one complete package. An additional solar panel can be added. It's compact, and it has proven useful in...

I have and use an Icom IC-7300 and a couple of ID-51A's. Both are decent radios for the money. I have yet to use DSTAR on HF, but it's an interesting mode on VHF/UHF. Locally (middle Tennessee) folks don't use DSTAR or DMR, but rather Yaesu system fusion on VHF/UHF. So whatever digital mode...

I suggest buying an extra pair or two of shoes, because the majority are produced overseas. There's already shortages of certain medications, and it ain't going to get better in the near future.

Kind of like what happened to Cuomo and his legislative lackies after the SAFE act was passed? I actually spoke with a NYS Trooper just after that amazing piece of legislative sleight of hand and mentioned that he should arrest Cuomo and put him on trial. He didn't say a word, I could see that...

Well it was a moral victory for those patriots that did indeed attend the festivities. It showed to the world that 2nd Amendment supporters do want a peaceful resolution to the political machinations of the Democrats. So, it was good PR. On the other hand, it was an intelligence trove...

My wife and I considered WV as a possible retirement location before we ultimately settled in Tennessee. We looked at some real estate in the Ripley and Spencer areas. The homes were priced very low, and the taxes were quite reasonable. However, I don't think there were level areas on any of...

One subgun that hasn't been mentioned is the PAK-9, which is based upon the AK platform. Unfortunately, they won't meet the unSAFE criteria. I just acquired one and I hope to take it to the range later this week. They're very heavy, but solid and supposedly very reliable. Due to the weight...

You need to change your method of contact. Maybe to something more physical. I'm guessing that letters or internet messages don't attract their attention. A good tar and feathering, or a trial for treason might change their opinions, especially if a few were hung after a proper trial. I...

Count my wife and I as two of those 77,000 who left NY. We're so much happier in a location where the cost of living is much less, the taxes are lower, and conservative values are appreciated. Having a much shorter, milder winter and no Cuomo is a bonus.

I think a better law would be to put a GPS tracker on all politicians.

Jim Rawles from Survivalblog said it was a terrible movie too. He recommended another film called E.M.P. 333 Days.

I would love an AR-7 as a Christmas gift. The Henry AR-7's are reliable and fun. The anti's will be coming after BB guns next.

I had permits in two upstate counties and both were unrestricted. But then again, I've had permits for over 40 years.

A lot of folks are realizing that voting no longer matters. The bullet box may end up deciding their futures. As for 2020, there's no way to vote ourselves out of this mess.

I've set up a trust for a suppressor. I went through the Silencer Shop, which makes it very simple. Once the purchase of the silencer is approved by the BATF, additional people can be added to the trust. The trust paperwork that I purchased is for a one time, specific suppressor. It is...

The OP is a fucking fredo fudd troll. I've used a black rifle in a .308 flavor to take several whitetails, it works great. I'm voting with my feet. We move to our Tennessee home this weekend. I'll be ordering a couple of suppressors and a Steyr Aug next week. FUAC and his little brother...

I'm in too! Thanks!

Yeah my KSG is very reliable. I've used it for defensive shotgun classes with 100's of rounds. Short stroking can happen with any pump firearm. I put a Meprolight optic on it, with a flashlight attached to the fore grip. I like the bullpup configuration, as it's very maneuverable within the...

I'll stick with my KSG.

I was reading the Crossville Chronicle newspaper on-line and came across an interesting article. It seems there's a gun and knife show in Crossville this weekend. And there's a gun auction...the guns in the auction are firearms that were confiscated by local police agencies. Any profits from...

We bought our home in Cumberland County, up on the Cumberland Plateau, about 20 miles from Cookeville. The nearest town is Crossville. The plateau weather is typically 5-10 degrees cooler than the surrounding area. There's lots of convenience stores, but no 7-11's. However, they have two...

The passage of this law is another reason to move out of NYS. How many laws will it take before people wake up? Cuomo will not stop. Get out and enjoy the sweet smell of freedom!

Two more reasons to GTFO of this State.

I didn't get his name, but he lived out on Long Island, and commuted each day into the city. He works for Geico now, so he wouldn't be too hard to find. He told me our car insurance will be much cheaper in TN, about half of what I'm paying in NY, but Geico doesn't offer the no pay windshield...

That's too bad AG, I know the Cumberland County Sheriff's office is going to be hiring three new deputies in the near future, the first new additions to their force in 20 years, so there are decent LEO job openings. I ran into a retired NYPD officer last month in Crossville, he was extremely...

Yeah, it's adjacent to Smokey Mountain Knife Works. There's a Lodge cast iron outlet store there too, all in the same general vicinity, easy walking distance between them all.

Hopefully you had a chance to visit Bud's gun shop and Smokey Mountain Knife Works while you were in the area. I tend to avoid Gatlingburg/PF unless it's the off season, after Labor Day it'll quiet down a bit, but then it picks back up towards Christmas. I've been watching the weather at our...

Yes, Tennessee has more freedom than NY, that's one reason why my family and I are moving there next month!

Actually, there are specific regulations regarding interstate transportation of firearms. The firearms should be in a locked container, in an unloaded condition, not readily accessible by the vehicle occupants. Any ammunition must be carried in a separate locked container. If stopped, I...

We pay $411 in land taxes on 3.5 acres and a nice 3 bedroom ranch at our place in Tennessee. I was down there last week and and I'm amazed how the savings increase down there. Gas was $2.29 for unleaded. Food costs were less too. No annual registration or inspection for utility trailers...

It's a good idea to get a manual, the internet may not be there some day.

Yup, 2 is 1, and 1 is none. It's always nice to have spare parts. Especially while they're still freely available.

How many tables do they usually have? Is it actually worth going to?

I recently acquired a well used EAA single action .22 for the grand total of $30.00 from my local FFL. I was at the right place at the right time. I originally bought it thinking my wife could use it, but it's too heavy for her. So.... I'll load it up with .22 shot shells for snake hunting...

Schiff is a treasonous asshole. I'm looking forward to the day he's tried, found guilty, and hung. I'll make sure I make time to attend his hanging. Trump's administration needs to start charging some of these politicians and media personalities with treason. When they're in court facing the...

I'm in, thank you for the karma!

That's bullshit!

They both should be tried and hung as traitors.

Good shoot. The suspect didn't comply. An automobile is a very large and deadly weapon. The woman passenger was certainly compliant.

I'm in! Thank you!

I'm kind of surprised no one mentioned the Ruger Precision Rimfire. I've got a Savage MK II, and a couple of Winchester bolt action .22's, but the Ruger beats them all as far as fun and accuracy. The Ruger Precision Rimfire also uses the same magazine as the 10/22. If you're into precision...

As much as I don't like Feinstein, I actually felt bad for her. BUT, it's a perfect example of how the leftist indoctrination functions, so she's getting a good taste of her own medicine. Can you imagine how much shit Republican congress critters are getting? Feinstein is a leftist whacko...

No, she's in the early stages of dementia. Within the next couple of years she won't be able to string out words in a coherent sentence. The problem will accelerate as she ages.

I'll stick with my KSG, I like having lots of shells available, or the ability to mix and match, as necessary. Plus, there's so many accessories available for the KSG.

Fifty years ago this year, my mom drove me to a Western Auto store in Ballston Spa, NY. She allowed me to purchase a fixed blade, drop point knife with a leather sheath. I had saved up the funds from babysitting and yard work jobs. If I remember correctly it cost 12 or 13 dollars. I still...

I read "48 Hours", and I thought it sucked. I guess I was expecting another "One Second After." It's a pre-apocalyptic novel, since the cataclysm occurs in the last few pages of the novel. I thought the characterization was poor, and the pacing felt slow, even though it all occurs during a 48...

No big surprise, he's from Fort Covington.
