I think there's more than a kernel of wisdom in your words OS !

Thanks. I found a few similar comments on THR, too. Not a superstar, but you get what you pay for. ATG has it pretty cheap.

Anybody have experience with Rio brand ammunition ? specifically, Rio Royal shotgun ammo ?

In Franklin - at the Sheriff's Department range and range house.

That made me LOL

I was wondering who the first smart a$$ would be.................

Same reason folks with a Tennessee HCP get non-resident permits from any other state that issues them (FL, UT, VA, NH, PA, ME, etc.)........... redundancy, "insurance" while travelling, to add to "our" numbers for political/lobbying purposes, or "just 'cause I want it" As far as I can tell, your TN HCP is accepted in about as many states as any other credential. However, some folks still like the security or the warm fuzzies of having another card or two in their back pocket. I have the PA and NH non-resident permits....doesn't get me any more states, but they didn't cost much and I just like having them. In the interest of full disclosure, we offer the ND test. Maybe the OP was referring to us ? And (more disclosure) it's not our top seller. BUT, if you decide you want one...you know where we are. You Betcha (tribute to North Dakota)

Welcome Champ !

American Eagle maybe ? If so, then yeah....jump on it.

"Action wheel" ? School me please.

I concur.

Rod Blagojevich = Illinois' Ray Blanton even their embroidered shirts match

Well, here be my Apartment dweller or really close to your neighbors - birdshot or # 4 buck Rural or farm setting - have some slugs available 00 buck is a good, all-purpose load for defensive uses Some say Dutch load depending on your particular threat assessment.

I encountered (a few nights ago at my place of employment) a similar instance. We had to subdue an intoxicated, belligerent, combative individual. He ended up in the special restraint chair, and began to invoke, in a cheerful cadence, the name "Obama" Something like this................."OH - BOM - UH" repeatedly. Amused at his comical antics was I, and shortly thereafter he referred to me by using two (2) unkind terms.

"Get a haircut" His Momma should wash his mouth with Lifebuoy too ! :censored: Did anybody catch him on Larry King Live the other night ? They were running a clip of the Prosecutor detailing the case against him - they cut back live to Blagojevich before he expected it - and they caught him BLEEPIN' checking his BLEEPIN' hair in the BLEEPIN' monitor !!! THAT BLEEP WAS BLEEPIN' HILARIOUS !!

As a rule, any semi-automatic shotgun will tend to be more finicky about its ammunition (and thus more prone for stoppages) than a pump shotgun.

IMO, your buddy did absolutely the right thing. As for the title question of your thread........for now, all I will say is this: There is a WIDE disparity in the quality of training available for the Tennessee HCP course.

I bought it and was pretty pleased. Some good information in it. I also have Clint Smith's Defensive Shotgun DVD, and he and Tom differ on quite a few items. Both are good. I may start a new thread re: these videos... complete. carry on.

The 870 is the standard by which all others are judged....but my Winchester 1200 is a smooth runnin' gun !!

The NBC News guy ? What did he do ?

Welcome fellow 'Boroan !!
