Put a red dot sight on your pistol....good grip for racking a slide, but an expensive fix.

I know. I have taken the Instructor's courses from TG. He always impresses that the bad guy picks the time and place and no one is immune. Maybe you can get your co-worker to read the article.

Tom Givens gave this interview. Very enlightening. I have taken several courses from Mr. Givens, and have heard this before. Lot of fake news/stats regarding crime out there. Interesting read. https://rangemaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Givens_Willingness_v2.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0jDSD-8QbrVUa0igb0IUj5tTuEanSLXoNCBlBOeUB1kmbyohlDoaqwtHk This is the reason we carry and train....tragic stories.

wouldn't hurt to try some crimp and see what happens

Check crimp. Too little or too much, esp if you were loading fmj then changed to soft lead without crimp adjustments.

I sent my back during the 1st recall about 18months ago. Trigger came back just terrible. Called them and they said, essentially, tough. How are yours after the 'fix'? I have another compact that I think I will leave well enough alone.

By their rules they have 3 months (best memory) before the pandemic was generally running 3 weeks. They haven't suspended processing AFAIK, but the FBI may be the hold up. Just wait it out.

Oak Ridge Sportsman Association has just ceased all organized shooting events until 4/18.

Left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. I had similar problems getting an active duty officer their HCP after successful completion of the course. They became so frustrated with the process, they just dropped the whole process. There is a disconnect somewhere upstream.

Shouldn’t really matter. You can shoot from any horse...... at least once !

Yes

can't remember the name, but there is a local reman that use to supply Knoxville Gun Range. Plenty of ammo and decent price. Maybe someone here remembers the name.

Nope perfectly, by the letter, law-abiding citizen.

On the subject of school carry; anyone know of a private school which has a carry policy?

IF you case is adjudicated in your favor, then yes there is a law where a civil case cannot be filed. BAC not only is '0', simple act of taking a sip, or even on breath can march you down the path of possession of a firearm while consuming alcohol. If one has used deadly force in a legitimate fashion, then other laws that may have been broken are waived by the state. (ie, possession by a felon, sign laws, etc.) Don't have the citations at the tip of my fingers but noted in the law for each point.

Too many questions, and I am sure there are more from yourself and others. That is why the CC permit is a terrible idea/product.

of course will see much more OC... Hopefully more signs where CC is permitted rather than No Gun signs. Suspect that age requirement will mirror fed law purchase requirement.....stay tuned, devil will be in the details.

OK, I'll be devil's advocate. Machunk you put your hand on your weapon, yelled get back and stuck your arm out. In the yelling and emotions, one of the other party thought you were going to shoot them.....they pulled their gun and shot you. Now you have no story, you're dead. They have 3 witnesses that describe it just as I did. Now what? You didn't live there. If I'm in their place, they have pretty good AOJ.......to a reasonable person.

it is listed under the tn.gov website as the TN dept of homeland security, As before, it was posted; if it is not now, see no reason one could not carry IMO. Nothing in the ECP course says otherwise. Note that the state capitol has postings in some places and not in others. So it is not just because it is a state building.

if it is not posted, then one can carry...exceptions jails, courts, fed buildings, schools, post office, tva camp grounds, properly posted places, tva / corps of engineer areas around dams. May have left something out.

With the discussion we have had on this thread, I am not sure you understand the gravity of the situation. Heed chucktshoes advice and discuss it no further in this public venue. This is not like tv court. If you are arrested, an attorney is going to cost you a minimum of 10k for an initial retainer before you even go to a trial. Then you are looking at multiples of that if it goes to trial. How much are you willing to spend to not go to jail for 10 years. Plus loss of all firearm privileges. Oh, yeah, you got to come up with bail money as well.
