DON'T MAKE EXCUSES - JUST DO IT!!!!!

I thought the following paragraph said it well:

You live in a democracy and that means that you get a say in who runs your country, and by way of this privilege you also get a say about how your country is run. It is very easy to be blase about your right to vote and take a "whatever, who cares" kind of attitude about it but you shouldn't brush this great honor off so quickly. Sure registering can be a bit of a chore, and yes, you have to head down to a polling station on voting day to pull your lever which takes some time out of your day and may cost you a few bucks in gas, but whether you know it or not these are very small prices to pay for the right to vote. In some countries people are literally dying to be able to cast a ballot and make a difference.

In other words: A Government For The People, By The People, CANNOT work WITHOUT THE PEOPLE!!!!!

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE

I voted "early" today!!!! We are fortunate in Tennessee to have early voting. Early voting is one of two ways in which a registered voter of Tennessee may bote before the actual election day. The second way for a registered voter to vote early is called by mail voting. Both early voting and by mail voting are for the voter's convenience. These two voting choices differ in that to vote by mail, the individual must have a statutory reason. On the other hand, to vote during the early voting period, the person may vote purely for the sake of convenience.

To vote early, a person must appear in person at either the county election commission office or at a satellite voting location opened by the county election commission. For each election, early voting begins 20 days before the election and ends 5 days before the election. Althought closed from voting on holidays, a person may vote early on any Saturday that falls during this time frame. (The only exception to this time period, involves a municipal election in which there is not any oppositiion for any of the offices involved on the ballot.)

There are many advantages to voting early, namely being able to choose a day during the early voting period that best fits the voter's schedule and the voter being able to change his or her address of registration and vote in the same voting location.

For details regarding times and early voting locations, a person must contact the local county election commission office. Want more information on voting? Go to the link below - it has everything you need to know.

Historic Colt Revolver Sells for $800,000 at Maine Auction

FAIRFIELD, Maine — An anonymous bidder has paid $800,000 for a historic .44-caliber revolver, and Maine auctioneer James Julia said it was "an absolute bargain."

The Colt Walker pistol made for U.S. marshals in the 1840s belonged to University of Maine graduate John McBride's great-great-uncle. McBride, who lives in Montana, returned to Maine for Tuesday's auction. He waved his cowboy hat and said "Yee-ha" when bidding ended.

Julia said the handgun known as "The Marshal's Gun" fetched a record price because it was in great condition. He was the auctioneer for the previous Colt record as well, which was $480,000.

McBride, who is 80, said it was a tough decision to sell a piece of family history and that his family will use some of the proceeds to buy land in Montana.

SUPPRESSORS ARE NOT ILLEGAL!!!!

Unlike conventional firearms, each change of possession or ownership of a Title 2 weapon (silencer, machine gun, sawed-off shotgun, pengun, etc.) must be approved in advance by BATF. This includes not only the sale of such a weapon, but also the act of giving or loaning it to another person. Failure to comply can result in a $250,000 fine, 10 years in prison, or both. Although the weapon can be moved by it's registered owner within the owner's state or residence, transportation across state lines requires prior BATF approval. These requirements were instituted by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and were incorporated into the Gun Control Act of 1968.

As with any firearm, an individual owner must take possession through a licensed dealer in his state of residence. In the case of Title 2 weapons (silencers, machine guns, etc.), the dealer must be what is known as a Class 3 dealer, meaning that he has paid an annual special occupational tax in conjunction with his firearms license to permit him to deal in Title 2 weapons without paying the individual $200 transfer tax on each weapon.

The $200 transfer tax is assessed each time a Title 2 weapon changes hands. The exceptions are to (or from) a governmental agency or a Class 3 dealer. Each time a Title 2 weapon changes hands, the transfer must be approved in advance by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms. It normally takes 4-5 weeks or less for BATF to approve the transfer between dealers or to law enforcement agencies, and the transfer to individuals requiress 1-2 months. The transfer time used to be much longer, but thanks to the efforts of the NFATCA, this time continues to shrink.

The procedure for obtaining a suppressor is to order (and pay for) the unit. The weapon should be ordered through your Class 3 dealer - Olde Towne Sports Depot is a Class 3 Dealer.

If you are eligible to own any conventional firearm, you are also eligible to own a Title 2 weapon provided that there are no state laws prohibiting such ownership. This means basically that you must be free of all felony convictions and be over 21 years of age. Your dealer can usually help you find a suitable law enforcement signature in the rare instance where your sheriff is personally anti-gun and refuses to sign your application. Your other option is to form a corporation, trust, or other suitable business entity, which does not require a law enforcement signature.
