[Found rooting around in the disorganized mess that is WhatFinger] Resolution HJR074, drafted in March, requires the state to "[extend] a safe harbor to Virginians and other United States citizens whose constitutional rights are being violated by elected officials." It also affirms that citizens have a right to maintain arms equivalent "to those of their government's basic infantry unit."
Does this mean I can finally get that AT4?

#12  Thanks for the invite, Deacon. Can I use your name when they stop me at the border for being a blue state swamp yankee?

#11  Besoeker you should see it fire double canister at plywood targets at 50 yards. Mercutio I didn't think you were snarking. Wouldn't mind having ya'll retire down here. Land is cheap and property taxes are low.

#8  We have a machine gun club at a local range. My son helped load ammo belts one time. As a reward he shot a WW1 Vickers machine gun and an UZI.

#5  #2 Clem. Yes, no income taxes but sales taxes are a little high.

"It does, however, have a tax on income from interest and dividends on stocks and many bonds, which in most cases will affect retirees. Bottom line, as a retiree you will probably be better off tax-wise retiring in Tennessee than almost any other state. Tennessee's state and local tax burden is one of the lowest in the U.S. The Tax Foundation estimates its total tax burden at 8.3% of income, 44th highest nationally."

Yes, it's a great state in which to live!

#4  10-pounder Parrott rifle

#3  /\ I have a 10 pound Parrott rifle capable of firing a 10 pound projectile just over a mile.

Could it handle an old GI sock stuffed with 1 inch roofing nails? The range might be little more than a city block. Asking for a friend.

#1  Mercutio it's fine by me. I have a 10 pound Parrott rifle capable of firing a 10 pound projectile just over a mile. It is also legal to open carry a sword in Tennessee. I love my state
