I’ve never had much luck dealing with police. I’ve had mixed results dealing with neighbors. Was the guy threatening you with the gun, or did he just have it along in case there was an animal harassing his livestock? You are certainly legal to walk your dog on a public road. Because you can doesn’t necessarily mean you should in the middle of the night, for several reasons. Pissing off your neighbors would be among these reasons. As to the other dogs running loose and getting after your dog, a call to animal control would be in order, as dogs aren’t supposed to run loose, at least where I live anyway. I am confused about this. You say you are in a very rural area, but your profile lists you living in Nashville. I guess both could be technically correct, but unlikely. Good luck with t. Neighbors can be a challenge sometimes.2 points

By far not the most expensive .22 that I own, but if I could only have 1 this may be it. In my top 3 no question.2 points

Because if you train kids on how to use them safely, then you'll have a generation of kids that likely respect them. That's detrimental to their ultimate agenda, disarming the population.2 points

Whatever works for you is the best. I tell ya one thing , the Ruger LCP .380 makes it so easy to run to the parts store , grocery store , or dollar store. It fits right in the front pocket with a DeSantis pocket holster. I've been doing this for over 8 years. It's so much easier than belting-up an holstering-up a bigger gun. I will say that when we go to more populated places and pack the bigger tools.2 points

G26 in a comptac iwb for 20yrs. Switched from a 3rd gen 26 to a 4th gen, now carrying a dot on it. Can't carry anything else, I've tried Nothing else carries as well nor shoots as good. Find something and get proficient with it. Get the right gear to carry it..1 point

+1 to what was said above. You're doing nothing illegal by walking your dog on a public street any time of day or night. Depending on what "armed visibly" means, what he did might be illegal. Simply open carrying a holstered firearm is not. If he's carrying his gun/rifle in his hands and actively threatening you with it, that's probably illegal like brandishing or maybe assault (I'm not a lawyer and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night). It's possible the whole thing could be resolved by simply sharing with him what you've told us about your work schedule and that if his dogs barking at night is a problem, maybe taking them inside at night could solve his issue. Or maybe he's just a hotheaded jack-wagon who wants to stand in his yard and shake his fist at the clouds.1 point

Every time I see this post I see “charging”. Are y’all plugging in your guns every night so they’re ready for the next day?1 point

Assuming that you're walking on a public road, you have every right to do so. YOU are not waking the man, his uncontrolled dogs are. I find it incredible that the police told you not to walk on the road. Whomever told you that just doesn't want to deal with the situation. You might consider wearing a body cam and getting the neighbor on video. You might also consider speaking with an attorney. What a rotten situation! Good luck. Added by edit: My initial assumption was that your neighbor was carrying a rifle as a way to intimidate you, which is illegal. But it's possible that he was carrying his rifle because he didn't know what was riling his dogs, not as a means to intimidate you. When I go outside to investigate a noise or something, I am always armed, though not always visibly.1 point

Lots can be said for "bigger is better"...but bigger is usually more difficult because of size, shape, weight, etc. Have several that I actually prefer over the things like the LCP, but have had one with a frame/trigger guard laser on it from CTC that I've had since the LCP was introduced. Father-in-law and I were out looking for a pocket wheelie for him when I saw the Ruger. It really appealed to me, and I'm a sucker for lasers anyway. So it came home with me. I used to think I overpaid for it(around 600 for it and the laser), but now as pricing seems to be escalating on the pocket pistols...I'm ok with it. Long round-about way of saying I like the LCP a lot, but for the last 6 years or so, it's been a Shield that I go to. Been thru all the incarnations, and currently have a PC model and an extra mag on the belt.1 point

I've been carrying for about 30 years now. While I do generally stick to just a few guns, I have been known to get these odd moods where I may carry just about anything for up to a week or two just to be different. This could be anything from a .25acp up to a .45 Colt. But, I always came back to my 1959 Colt Commander in .45acp. This is my first love. However, I must admit that in the last few years I do find myself more and more just grabbing my S&W 642 when heading out the door. Quick, easy and it conceals so well. I guess I'm just gettin' old, fat and lazy.1 point

Glock 26 in a Galco leather Paddle holster 99% of the time. The holster is easy to put on and take off when I get to work. Also I can carry a 10 round mag in it and use up to a 33 round mag for an extra mag to carry.I also have other leather belt pancake holsters to use. Other times I can carry a Keltec, S&W 380 Bodyguard, or a J frame. I never walk out the door without something..1 point

I've done several UMP conversions and I'm familiar with the parts you used. Your rifle is probably not 922r compliant if you just used the complete German UMP lower, but you might be close. That should be a USA stock, and if you bought the HKUSA mags instead of the german UMP mags, that's 2 of the 3 parts you need to cancel out the 13 qualifying imported parts on the rifle. A USA barrel would finish it. Otherwise, you'd also need a US trigger, or the HKParts bolt catch (that's what people typically use).1 point

Off-topic, but I've made the same comment about motorcycle dealerships. I worked for the Navy, and young sailors would come off a deployment with a sack full of money, go to the MC shop, and ride off on a bike that they had no business on.1 point

This is a great price. I waited precovid for a deal from PSA and w tax shipping and the extra junk they were trying to offload it would have easily been 30-40% more. Also, good guy and deal w confidence.1 point

Most of the whiz-bang micro-9s of recent years are just too small to be of much use to me. My if-I-win-the-lottery carry gun was a Wilson EDC X9 ever since they were introduced. I lucked into a used one at a price I couldn't turn down and it's now my all-time favorite carry gun.1 point

The range that I shoot at also sells firearms I understand they can't follow people down to the range with each sale but I sure wish they could provide 30 minutes to an hour of instruction complimentary with every fire arm purchase There are an awful lot of people buying firearms that don't know how to operate them let alone the ramifications with concealed carry A Ruger LCP is a great extra or concealed carry for someone familiar with firearms but I don't think it's a good recommendation for someone that's never owned a pistol Yet there was a woman at the range with one and unfortunately no training whatsoever They are snappy and can be hard to hold but it was their recommendation to her I'm not trying to knock the place I know they're just trying to sell firearms and well not the worst thing they could have sold her definitely not the best in my opinion1 point

After the safety stuff is covered - For someone looking to carry: Understand the legal burden they're taking on by carrying a firearm. They need to understand the laws, where they can and can't carry, when they can and can't use their weapon, and what they're likely going to face if they ever do need to. Be honest with themselves. Are they willing to take the life of another human being? Are they a hothead who's likely to escalate situations? If they can't come to terms with reality, do not proceed down this path. Try several. Go to the range with a friend who has a variety, or rent them if they must. Single stacks Double stacks Strikers Hammers Revolvers Choose something they'll actually carry. A steel frame full size with cushy Hogue grips is more comfortable to shoot, but that doesn't make it a great carry gun for most people. Invest in a quality holster. Borrow some to try different brands and configurations if possible. Depending on the weight of the gun, probably a quality belt too. Practice. A lot. For someone who just wants to shoot at a range or plink on a farm: .22LR pistol like a Sig Mosquito, Walther P-22, etc. Great beginner gun. Lower cost than comparable guns Similar operation as larger caliber pistols. Cheaper to feed Easy to shoot and learn the proper way to shoot without developing bad habits like anticipating recoil and flinching.1 point

Big difference between first time shooters and first time gun owners. If I introduce someone to shooting then they are going to have a sit down to go over the basic safety rules and basic operation of the firearm(s) involved including some dry-firing. Then I will still be standing right behind them when they start popping off shots. For new gun owners I don’t get asked too much, but if I did it would probably be a single shot .22 considering how people are these days.1 point

Hello all, I was looking for some advice on what to do in this situation. I don't really have anyone in my life to talk to you about these things that knows very much, I really feel like you all will know more than anyone else I would be able to find lol so here goes! I have a very 'fluffy 'non-aggressive Alaskan Malamute. For the past 3 years of her life I have ran her around this 3.5 mile loop that would be considered my neighborhood. We live very rural. I may pass a total of 15 residences on this entire loop. Most residences are quite far away from the road, horses, cows, dogs, cats etc Recently to the left of my home going down the road a lady has gotten more than she can handle with her dogs to where they will chase you down the street on foot on bike or in your vehicle. So I have opted not to walk my dogs past her property or anywhere near her because of that. She has a very fast very adamant sheep herding dog that will bite your tires and rip your bumper off if you don't get past him before he can get in front of you. She also has a massive livestock guardian dog that will chase you down the road and she is very scary lol **(I really don't know what to do in this situation as well) I have now decided to start turning right down my driveway where there are two new houses built and a gentleman who has just moved into The farmhouse about a year and a half ago on the corner. He has always only had one Great Pyrenees named Aryan. Recently in the last couple of months he has gotten another great Pyrenees. And now he is letting both of the dogs out all night long whereas he used to put Aryan up late at night. In situations where Aryan would usually bark at me a couple of times and then run back to his house and ignore me he is now 10 times more aggressive, chasing me to the point where he ripped a hole in the fence to be able to chase me even further down the road, barking . ( He is behind a fence not able to get to the road, but tore through a secondary fence to go through their pasture alongside the road) I have a job where I work odd hours and sometimes I don't get home until 10:00 11:00 at night. I absolutely must walk my dog she has gained 30 lbs during the winter time and late at night I simply put her on the leash, and walk down my road. *She does not chase things she has zero aggression. I have a video of a small dog coming up to her in public biting on to the fur of her neck and hanging off of her neck and she's just standing there ignoring it until it's owner finally got to it. * The last two nights I have walked down the road, these Pyrenees will bark at me the entire length of their fence. My dog does not bark back or even pay any attention to them. Tuesday I walked her at 8:30 p.m.. Wednesday I could not walk her until 11:00 p.m.. The man that owns the house on the corner waits for me to come back around with my dog .walks out of his yard, closes the gate behind him.. has a rifle in his hand over his shoulder. He stops me in the middle of the road and tells me that for the past two nights I have woke him up with his dogs barking at me. He tells me that I am not allowed to walk my dog at night anymore and that I better not do it again. He is very aggressively speaking to me. He is angry that his dogs barking at me walking down the road has woke him up two nights in a row. To the point of waiting for me to pass by, catching me out in the street and stopping me, armed visibly... And telling me directly that i will not do it again. Kind of like how your dad would do it holding a belt when he found out you snuck candy... I called the police to ask them if he was allowed to do that and they basically tell me not to walk my dog past his house anymore. I feel that this is something absolutely crazy that has happened and that I feel just anxious about it..I feel he broke a law. But trying to find Tennessee gun law specifics is very difficult for me I guess as I've been trying to find something somewhat relevant to what happened with no luck. What should I do in this situation just stop walking her around my neighborhood? Was he within his rights to meet me on our public road, stop me in the street while holding a weapon and demand that I do not pass his house with my dog at night anymore? Thank you all!0 points
