  13. 38/357 is easier to reload IMO. No special crimp die needed. Most folks just use the bullet seating/crimping die that come in the three die set . Go with carbide dies for sure.

  15. My first handgun I carried last year was a HighPoint 380. This year it's a Diamondback Full Size 9mm.  Have shot both at the range many times without a single FTF, FTE or misfire.  Being over 70 I don't really care what people think about me or what I have anymore.  :rofl:

  16.   They're both right. Without 1307 saying it's ilegal, then it's OK, which makes dawgdoc right. But because 1307 exists, then you have a myriad of exceptions and defenses, OhShoot is right.   In Tennessee with regard to firearms laws, the philosophical approach expressed by dawgdoc is not the safest way to go about things. You don't go looking for firearms laws in TN saying you can't do something and if it doesn't exist then you can. 1307 more or less slams that door and means you have to go looking for things which the law says you  can do.

  18.   I'm afraid you have that backwards when it comes to firearm laws here.   TN starts out with the premise in 39-17-1307 that it's illegal to possess a loaded firearm, period. Then adds a litany of defenses, affirmative defenses, and exceptions which allow one to deviate from that.   Most states do indeed start with the "all is legal" except for this and that and the other thing, and TN does also with many areas of the code, but not loaded firearms. That's one of the reasons we've had such a problem prying firearm freedoms back I do believe, because of that philosophical mindset that's been there since the late 1800's, that all was because of Jim Crow legislation to begin with, and got into our very state Constitution.   Note that having an HCP is still technically only a "defense" to 1307, not even an "exception". Hell, even the long time coming possession in vehicles is now stronger, as it is an "exception".   - OS

  19. So far, from what I have read, the shooter, who was not GZ, may be stalking him.  He has already accused GZ of road rage before, which apparently wasn't true.  The headlines make it sound like GZ shot at someone, but it looks like the opposite is true.  The police have said that GZ didn't shoot at anyone.   There is a picture of GZ's truck with a dark-tinted passenger window with a bullet hole in it; it doesn't seem believable that GZ supposedly waved a gun at the other driver, then rolled up his window, and then the shooter shot at GZ because he felt threatened at that point.  Sounds like a guy who shot at GZ and then concocted a story that he knew people wanted to believe.

  20. Laws don't allow things, they make them illegal.  A simple way to put it is that everything is legal until a law makes it illegal (prohibited).  Therefore you won't find a phrase that open carry is "allowed."  You also won't find a phrase that open carry of a handgun with a valid permit is prohibited, either.  Therefore it is legal.   That is my simple view of the matter.

  26. Those of you whom are friends with me on Facebook already know but for the rest, On the first of May, I suffered a severe heart attack while working offshore in Brazil. This actually happened on my off time, as we work 12 hour shifts. I was getting in the shower and for the next 6 hours I was so bad off that I could not even use the phone in my cabin to call the medic.   They gave me an EKG on board and confirmed that I should be dead right now. Shell Got me a medical chopper immediately. The next thing I knew I was being taken into the ER, I called my wife with my cell and just got that info out before they needed to operate, This scared the crap out of her and me because I am in a third world country,   They put 2 stints on my right side and told me I needed another surgery for the left side. The translator app on my Galaxy phone has been pretty much the only way to communicate with them. The nurses do the same, my company paid for 6 nurses for me, they are lovely caring professionals. For the last 5 or 6 years, when I quit smoking oddly enough, I have had Hypertension after the first surgery my blood pressure was in the low medium range,   I just got done with the second surgery, the doctors tell me that I have the heart of a baby now, besides the language barrier and the fact that I am here without my family this is by far the best medical care I have ever had in my life.     I would greatly appreciate all of your prayers for my family during this, it has been hard on them I should get to come home in the next few days, and as crazy as this may sound I actually thank God for this as it almost certainly pro longed my life, I work for an awesome company and will be paid while I recooperate     Any way thanks for listening!

  27. So a friend wrecked his car. I, being awesome and somewhat bored with my current mode of transportation, sold it to him.  In my quest for a new vehicle, I came at a massive fork on the road.  A nice WRX that needed motor, or a blurple miata.  Needless to say, the embarrassment on my brothers face when I picked him up at school in it was the greatest feeling I have ever felt. You cant hide your face with the top down, and the radio allowed all his friends to see him driven away to the sound of lady gaga. I threw my dignity out of the window, but it was so worth it.  I will upload a picture of the pocked rocket as soon as possible.

  29. If it's a pined front sight and you have a set of brass punches and a padded vise its a pretty simple job. All you need to do is order the right sight through Brownells or like company, take your time and do it.

  34. We were out today and talking to someone about the knives GT made for us. I whipped mine out of my bag to show the person and the look on Monkey's face was hilarious. Evidently he didn't expect me to carry it everywhere I go. But I do, it's AWESOME.

  36. The closest phrase that I can find is in 39-13-1351, which states, "a permit...shall entitle the permit holder to carry any handgun or handguns that the permit holder legally owns or possesses." So the code prohibits any carry with intent to go armed (and doesn't distinguish between OC or CC), and the permit gives you the defense against that law (and dosn't distinguish between OC and CC).

  37. Actually yes, the ones made now look significantly better than the earliest ones manufactured and sold. Think along these lines, form follows function. Then think along the lines of maximizing profit while maintaining or even improving reliability. That blowback action pot metal slide mass thing really works. HPA got it right and I hope they continue to stay in business and we continue to poke playfully admiring fun at them.

  38. Yep, but I'll bite.   TCA can be found here. It's pretty well updated, but sometimes a brand new law or change to an existing law can take a few weeks to be published there: https://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/tncode/   Weapons laws are generally under 39-17-13, but because an HCP is a defense to a violation of a law, you have to "stack" them to see how they all work together. 39-17-1307 is where it's against the law to carry a firearm. 39-17-1308 is the list of defenses to 1307 (essentially people or situations to whom 1307 doesn't apply). It lists persons permitted under 39-17-1351 as in its special group of people. 39-17-1351 is the HCP portion which describes who can get one and how to do it.   There's more to it as you can see by looking at just how many statutes are under the 39-17-13 section, but it's late and I'm tired. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to fill in the gaps and expound on that.

  41. 1) because the media knows that blogs like this one will spread their narrative by jumping to conclusions and false assumptions. 2) as soon as his name comes across the police scanner there are numerous reporters chomping at the bit to add to the slandering. Just his turn like many others before him. But I do agree that he needs to disappear, maybe move to another country. .

  43.       It's definitely OK to kill a native snake if you don't "take" it from the wild (as in, go into the woods looking, trapping, etc.) as far as I know. Again, personally all non-venomous snakes are fine with me, but in the past 6 mths, I have had a Copperhead right near the house and one INSIDE of my shop (as in, WTF is that in the corner?). Too many dogs, cows, people around here to let them be. The one near the house instantly lost his head. The one in the shop was taken outside and given 2 chances to get into a field, but both times it wanted to get right back in the shop and got pissy about it. Didn't end well for the snake.
