    Positive proof, Black panthers in N Alabama!

    I have personally seen a mountain lion (not melanistic) in Hickman co. Tn, and a hunting buddy saw one in a neighboring county. The game warden said they got started again because people turned pet lions loose.

    For those of you with young children, where do you keep your gun(s)?

    When I was little, my dad kept a shotgun and a .22 in the bedroom closet leaned up against the doorframe. The ammo was on the top shelf, and if I had tried very hard I probably could have loaded the guns. He somehow managed to get it across to me at an age before I can remember that the guns...

    One of those days...

    Not exactly the same thing but still funny... and true to the best of my knowledge. Gentleman is hunting from a treestand over a game trail. Along comes a sow black bear with a cub following dutifully behind. The hunter decides to have a little fun and pops the sow in the rump with a blunt...

    TN Tech Response To Report Of Unidentified Man With Bullets In Dorm Bathroom

    I graduated from TTU in May '09. Johnson Hall isn't a residence hall, it's the business majors' building. Believe me, anyone who spends time on the TTU campus will tell you it's students are very 2nd Amendment friendly.

    "Baby on Board" Sticker

    Thanks ya'll. Haranguer, how much stuff goes with a baby wherever it goes? I'm thinking usually a diaper bag at the least. Thanks again for the input. The sticker will definitely not be on the car.

    "Baby on Board" Sticker

    My wife and I were discussing the "Baby on Board" stickers while driving the other night, and she raised an interesting point: could it make the people driving the car with the sticker more of a target because the hands of someone with a baby are inherently more "full" than someone without...

    Don't rely on your physical size

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582715,00.html This raises a good point about relying on size alone.

    The Glock 20 10 MM Pistol ?

    I own a Mod 20 in 10mm and yes, the grip is slightly wide. However, the upside of this is that it spreads out the recoil over a wider area, thus reducing felt recoil. Of course if you hold it right this shouldn't matter, but it's still nice.

    Converting a .45ACP to 10mm

    I may be showing my ignorance, but is it possible to convert a 1911 in .45ACP to 10mm? If so, what parts and mods are needed, and how much do you think it would cost?

    Proper way to mount a scope

    I recently bought a 4-14x44 scope with a 30mm tube. It is going on a Remington model 700 with weaver style bases which clamp to the rail using a cross screw. This rifle has functioned very well over several years using a one inch scope, so the rifle isn't the problem. The factory rings that...

    Case wall thickness and runout

    What is an acceptable amount of runout around the case mouth on a .270 Winchester case? This case hasn't been loaded yet, but it is once fired, and I wanted to know at what point it needs to be brought back into round. Also, what is the nominal case wall thickness for the same case just...

    Once again, guns are the real problem.

    I was fixing to post this, but apparently I got beaten to it. More of the same. Fortunately, Tennessee is controlled by a Republican senate and most people will have forgotten about this by January. http://www.newschannel5.com/global/story.asp?s=10659817

    Loose Thumb Safety on Taurus PT1911

    Don't get me wrong, it's a great gun. The thing would feed a shotgun shell if I asked it to, and still put the bullets in a decent group. Thanks for the help yall.
