"The Battle of Athens, Tennessee"

Any of you ever heard your parents and grand parents talk about this? Interesting!
I never heard about it when I was a little kid in Winchester, but that's a fair distance the other side of Chattanooga.

I believe I am gonna buy a few boxes of Winchester 30-30 this next week, maybe some 12 gauge buckshot, too. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

Did you watch the video? In 8 months, I will definitely be voting, if I'm still allowed. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

Lived here all my life and never heard of that. Thanks for sharing. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Learned about it in TN History in college. Instructor was a proponent of learnin' us stuff like that.

It pretty much puts the Second Amendment in action as i believe, intended. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

Yeah I did, I guess I just can't wrap my head around the thought of not being able to vote in this day and age.

I live right up the road in Knoxville and had never heard about this. Thanks for posting. Great history story. People better understand why he posted this. Very timely for this year......... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

Can you wrap your head around the number of deceased that voted in Chicago in '08? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

I guess if one scenario was even remotely like the other maybe I could. So basically your saying we have such liberties in the voting booths that the dead get to vote, but in your first breath your gonna go out and buy some ammo so you can vote also..............I'm starting to see the bigger picture now http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

He just getting ready to line up some future voters. Vote early - Vote often. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
