Congrats. And yes on the infringement. :cry:
Glad to live in a free state like Tennessee.
Walk in, pick out whatever you want, pass the BC, pay your money, and out the door with "your" new purchase.

That's how CT operates, too. But, not just anyone can walk into a store and walk out with a gun. We also require hands-on training and a valid permit in order to purchase firearms or ammunition.

Good morning guys! I am the proudest boy in town. Put the Big Boy Steel into the cabinet last night. I cycled the action a few times (without dry fire), it's really smooth. I like it :mrgreen: I think I should get some snap caps so I can do full practice.
I have a 5-rifle cabinet, but more than 3 will get crowded.

I just sold another Springfield 1911, a Mil Spec, unfired, NIB, too cheap! Sometimes you'll take a hit, make somebody happy.
Now, I realize I met the CA maximum for annual PPTs. Can you believe it?? Sacramento sucks!

A few years ago I bought a little house in Kingman, AZ. It's rented and pays into my income. It may serve as my retirement home at one point or another. Things are always at the ready. I love the Southwest.

Friend of mine moved to AZ, in part because of CA repressive regulations.

Like BigAl did, to Texas from Co., for the same reason.

Our forefathers probably foreseen such a thing. Hence, the reason for the Constitution. May it stand the test of time. Hopefully, this is not seen as a political comment. If so, please forgive me. It just seem that our forefathers were wise men.

As I was driving into town yesterday to purchase salt I passed the runway threshold of our local airport and a B25 or 26, (not sure which), was taxing into position for takeoff. I quickly drove to the other end of the runway and parked to watch. Those radial engines make quite an impression as they go by. Definitely a warbird sound. I got a short video of it and wish I could post it here.

You'd have to upload it to you-tube or similar and post the link (URL).

Growing up in Spokane our airbase Fairchild was the home to a squadron of B-52’s. It was always so cool to see them take off as many times they would fly right over my house while at a lower elevation. Now Fairchild is the home to a squadron of KC 135 refuelers which aren’t nearly as impressive when taking off. Still love to have them here local however.
