Don’t wait, get a plate number, call the Police and have them send an Officer out. Unless you are missing him dropping off/picking up this is highly unusual behavior. They don’t need to have proof of a crime or wait for one to happen to go talk to him. Or with all that is going on with church shootings it may be a plain clothes cop. But I wouldn’t take the chance. No matter how prepared you are the shooter has the upper hand.

That dang other camp's done stole our moon pies fer tha last time boys!

I was able to buy my old duty gun because we switched over to Gen 5 G17 in 9mm. This may be a regular old Glock 22 but it saved my life in March 15, 2012. I was able to pick it up today and its now all mine. I wont go into all the detail but when I needed it to fire it did. I was holding it with one hand and standing quite awkward. So for it to run when I needed it to , it shined. I got an Alpha Wolf 40-9mm conversion barrel and even a Glock 17 extractor , and the correct spring and plunger for it to be converted to 9mm. I'll still switch it back over to .40S&W to shoot some here and there but mainly 9mm through it.

Today, I am re-opening The Swamp political forum. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong about things. I was perhaps wrong to completely remove non-specific politics from TGO since it is something that many of you care deeply about and since politics are so interwoven with our lives, especially as gun owners. If you don't want to read about politics, simply avoid that forum. That is how I will handle it for myself and I hope you will do the same. This forum will be different in a few ways: Only Benefactor Members can post a thread or a reply. Anyone can read them but if you want to contribute you're going to have to show us that you are investing something back into the TGO community and aren't just here to stir the political pot. The forum will be password protected. The password will be "I AGREE" which will be a reminder of the fact that you wanted access and agree to conduct yourself in accordance with TGO's rules. If you're going to wallow in the mud, you can't complain later about getting dirty. Because it is password protected, I don't think it will show up in the New Posts activity search. You may have to set up your own Activity Stream to follow that forum if you care about it. If the crux of your thread is could be construed as "hate speech" against a group of people purely on the basis of them being in that group (whether race, gender, sexual inclination, political party affiliation, etc.) you should think hard before posting it. Ask yourself if there is any value in- or hope of- exploring the topic in a civilized manner that moves the ball down the field. If there isn't and your thread will just fan the flames of ignorance, bias or bigotry... we're going to hold you accountable for it. So, why the change of heart? I've been listening. You guys have made it clear that localized discussion of politics is important to you. When I considered it, the reason why was almost too obvious. Politics and gun ownership in any country on this planet are inextricably linked. Politics, gun ownership, and the politics of gun ownership are in fact reasons that this country even exists. Our founding fathers had a different opinion on how men should be governed than did the King, and one of the King's early efforts to shove them back into line was to try and confiscate all of their firearms. The rest is history. While I hope that the majority of politics discussed on TGO relate to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, it is impossible for me to ignore that people who are passionate enough about their own liberty and safety to own, train with, and license themselves for carry of a gun are going to be prone to talk and want to be involved in all political things. We are, by our very nature, an active group of people. There is a switch within us that has been thrown and refuses to let us just watch events unfold in the political arena without throwing a red flag on the field when we see foul play. The moderating team is still going to pay attention and make sure that discussions about politics don't become divisive and poisonous to the cause of uniting gun owners. Let's make their job easy and not let it turn into that.

You answered your own question. The other alternative is like any number of other states do it. I.e., gun signs don't have the force of law per se, and you must be asked to leave, facing a possible trespassing charge if you don't. But to do that, the law can't be based on it being a crime to walk past a sign from the gitgo. TN is one of a minority of states that begins all gun possession law with the fact it is illegal to have a loaded one period. ("A person commits an offense who carries, with the intent to go armed, a firearm or a club.") Then gives a bunch of exceptions in various situations. Then tells you where you still can't even with some of those exceptions. Etc. It's all backassward. - OS

Could be looking for a particular car for a cheating spouses or any other myriad of things. Call it in now and prevent issues in the future. Waiting until the fire is roaring to look for a fire extinguisher is never a good idea!

I've shot quite a bit of 6.5G ammo. The Wolf Gold is very good for the price. The Wolf steel case performs a lot better than I expected. Right now the steel case is a bit hard to find. Wolf says more is on the way. Other manufacturers are still on the shelf.

In my almost 60 years of living I have learned to try to keep my nose on my face. You do as you want, I would have talked to the owner when I worked there, not after I left.

I thought there was more to the shooting than was being announced and I'm not believing the dropped back pack story quite yet.

I spend a week with my mom every other month, and we eat out every day. I go where she wants. That includes Panera, Outback, Cracker Barrel , all three of which have had anti-gun issues in one form or another. Probably some other places. Of course the Kahr in my pocket doesn't care. - OS

And we are in 100% agreement on that. Unfortunately we already do have a thug government but it hasn't hit close to home yet. Refuse service to anyone one any one of the, what is it, 20 something of new genders now and our thuggish government will step in and punish you for discriminating. I wonder if we can sue if we get refused service for being gun owners? I mean if we were fondling each other's "gun" instead of having one on our hip we could, right?

I've been looking at the Grendel a lot more here lately. I'm wondering how hard ammo is to find.

Trespass laws sufficiently protect private business owners' rights to prohibit weapons without having an additional state weapons crime for permit holders for violating a sign. You don't see an additional crime for carrying a can of beer past a property owners' 'no beer' sign or a crime for going barefoot for going past 'no shoes no service' signs. Why should a gun be any different? Pro gun people that agree with having weapons crimes such as this weapons crime over a sign for permit holders really need to think about that because you should be for less restrictions for handgun carry permits, not more.

What makes me sad is that there wasn't another customer present to loudly protest how unsafe the mentally-ill customer was making them feel. That would have really made it a circus!

That's great that they backed up ( unwillingly no doubt ), and will allow LEO's to dine there in the future. That does not solve my , and other HCP holders complaint. The 2nd Amendment applies to all, under the Constitution. Liberals should not be allowed to call the shots. I will drive on by..........

Unless you're a Christian bakery. Carry on.

I’m a Veteran, so I already quit watching. This just make its more obvious how out of touch Goodell is.

Obviously, you already know the answer.

First get together of the original TGO forum.

You guys seem to have a lot of problems with signs and postings. My eyesight must not be as good as yours.
