Welcome to TGO! Enjoy your stay!

No problem. Maybe someone with a better option will chime in, but that's how I'd do it.

He can purchase it here, but he cannot take possession/transport the firearm. Have him meet you at a local FFL. Do the sale/transfer there. The local FFL will ship it to an FFL in his area. With all the stuff that's been going in the media with illegal sales of firearms in TN, do this by the book. You have no idea who you're dealing with, or who may be watching.

He can pay you for the gun, then you/local FFL must ship it to an FFL in his area. He can then pick it up from said FFL. FYI, Paypal doesn't allow money transfers for firearms purchases.

That was great. Thanks!

Here's the story on Fox 17. There's a mention of the event. WZTV FOX 17/Nashville New York Report Angers Tennesseans- Cindy Carter Jason Bobo is a gun enthusiast who has no problem abiding by Tennessee laws when it comes to buying a gun. Jason Bobo says, "Before you are able to purchase the actual weapon, you've got to give them your driver's license and everything else and they do an instant background check with TBI." Which is why Bobo and many others attending Saturday's rally for the Second Amendment in Christiana say New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is wrong for criticizing Tennessee's laws surrounding gun sales. "I think he should keep his business up there." The city of New York recently conducted and undercover investigation. They placed hidden cameras inside gun shows in Tennessee and other parts of the country. Bloomberg says they caught on camera "some" violent criminals buying weapons at these events and says gun shows are a loopholes in state and federal laws that allow this to happen. Critics say Bloomberg's investigation makes it seem like there's a little or no accountability for gun sales in Tennessee. Chris Barrett with Barrett Firearms says thats not true. "You do not just walk in and put money on the table and walk out with a gun. We have instant check systems to make sure you're not a felon. Or, even if yo haven't been convicted of Domestic violence. So, its a very thorough checking system. Very well controlled." Barrett agrees that unregulated sales are not good but says those cases are rare in Tennessee. As for Bloomberg's call for tougher gun laws, Congressman Lincoln Davis says thats just not necessary."I think it seems to work well just like it is." New York officials say Tennessee was chosen as part of their investigation because the state ranks 12-th as a source for out of state guns that turn up in New York crimes.New York Report Angers Tennesseans- Cindy Carter

Who was the tall lady with red-ish hair that was standing with the guest speakers?

Any chance someone got the speeches on video? If it's possible, I would like to hear them.

I missed a good portion of the event, but what I did get a chance to see was very well done. Other than the weather, I'm not sure what anyone would have to complain about. Thanks again for being part of such an event.

No, this is why cops don't like baggy pants.

When you're as fat as I am, all your pants are fat pants.

I tried to keep a lookout for you, but didn't see any TGOers that I recognized. I don't think we got there until 1:30-1:45. And just as I figured, we missed the majority of the guest speakers. I showed up just in time to hear the long-winded fellow who was upset about a court case he was involved in. I was so cold from all the riding I had already done throughout the day, I REALLY couldn't wait to get home. I left The Outpost a little before 3:00 (IIRC), and didn't hit less that 80 the whole way. Had I put on an extra layer before leaving the house, it probably wouldn't have been so bad. A pair of gloves better suited for cooler weather is a must before I do that again.

Boy, it was a cold one. My fat is frozen solid. We didn't make it until well into the events, but it looked like there was a great turnout. I'm not sure how many people were actually buying, but the store was packed with people. Getting a spot at the counter was nearly impossible. Thank You to all those involved with organizing this event.

I am not a hunter, so I'm not up on all of the laws. But I thought this was pretty interesting. I could understand if you were poaching, but I didn't realize someone who legally hunted an animal couldn't sell it. Killing wild game isn't a crime, but selling it is | tennessean.com | The Tennessean Killing wild game isn't a crime, but selling it is Randy Charles Lindsey had planned to make his living this winter selling the wild game he hunted. But the sale of $400 worth of doves to an undercover agent last year has landed the Tennessee man in trouble with the federal government. When he sold the doves he shot, the hunter broke a federal law. As a result, Lindsey, 41, is now a convicted felon and could face jail time or probation for violating anti-poaching rules. John Rayfield, a special agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the charges are relatively rare. Lindsey shot and sold 300 doves over the course of the investigation, agents said. But the number of doves had nothing to do with the federal charges. Selling one dove is against the law. The federal ban on selling birds was born almost a century ago, at a time when people decorated their hats with egret feathers and wrote with pelican-quill pens. Much has changed since then, but the need for the ban remains, federal authorities say. "Once you attach a price to it, you go back to the old market hunting days," said Rayfield, who helped the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency investigate Lindsey. Recently, investigators have caught poachers in Tennessee selling a variety of game. In a garage behind Rayfield's office, the feds are storing 2,000 pounds of mussel shells that are part of a poaching case. The mussels were among tens of thousands illegally harvested from Tennessee rivers and shipped to Japanese pearl-making operations. Earlier this month, Michael Ray Kirkland, 50, of Knoxville was charged with offering to sell a black bear rug and stuffed waterfowl to an undercover state wildlife agent at a flea market. It is legal to have ducks and geese stuffed as personal hunting trophies, but it's illegal to sell them. Trafficking in bear parts is also prohibited. "It can create a slippery slope if you allow (game) to be commercialized" and could eventually lead species to be hunted to the brink of extinction, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance spokesman Greg Lawson said. The law is so strict, Nashville hunter and taxidermist Brian Brew isn't allowed to sell stuffed ducks if customers drop them off but never come back to get them. Though the rules seem harsh at times, Brew said, they are still needed today to keep sportsmen from targeting certain species. "I understand where these laws are coming from," Brew said. "It might sting my pocketbook sometimes … but they were made for a reason and they need to be kept for a reason." Restrictions date to 1918 Federal laws restricting the sale of wild game go back to 1918, when Congress first made it illegal to sell migratory birds. It is also against the law to sell their feathers, eggs or nests. In addition to those federal laws, state law makes the sale of other hunted animals — anything from bass to deer to bears — a misdemeanor punishable by no more than a year in jail. If the animal is sold for $500 or more, the charge is upgraded to a felony. "All environmental laws relate to quality of life and the ability of the government to protect all people and all creatures," U.S. Attorney Ed Yarbrough said. Yarbrough's office prosecutes everything from mail fraud to violent criminal offenses. By comparison, a dove salesman may seem relatively harmless, but prosecutors say the crime is serious. "If we allow people to poach and otherwise go unreined … it destroys the quality of life for the other Tennesseans that follow the rules," Assistant U.S. Attorney John Webb said. Last fall, a state wildlife agent posing as a caterer approached Lindsey about buying rabbits, according to federal court documents. In September 2008, that agent met Lindsey at his Nashville home to talk about the rabbits. While they were there, the men also allegedly discussed doves. Five days later, he sold the undercover agent about 150 mourning doves for $160. Lindsey sold almost 150 more doves to undercover agents in four more visits, according to court records. In all, he collected $394 for the birds. Convictions of violating federal laws barring the sale of migratory birds can carry prison sentences of up to 2 years. Under the terms of a plea agreement, prosecutors are recommending probation or a sentence of no more than six months behind bars for Lindsey. The federal charge will end his legal hunting career. Lindsey will be a convicted felon, meaning he will no longer be able to lawfully carry a gun. On Monday, Lindsey is scheduled to appear in state court on several additional charges stemming from the alleged illegal sale of whitetail deer and cottontail rabbits he shot in 2008. Those charges are misdemeanors. Through his attorney, Lindsey declined to comment on the case. Wildlife agents believe most hunters know the rules. "The vast majority of hunters out there are the most conscientious conservationists," he said. "They know the law."

If I were put in such a situation, I would choose not to drink. Better to be safe than sorry.

Does Wal-Mart sell long guns in your area? You can always make the short trip Hero-Gear in Winchester.

I heard Ronnie doing an interview with Phil Valentine an hour or two ago. I was waiting for a TGO mention, but he must have had other things on his mind.

Now we know douchebaggery is hereditary.

Not all of our trucks have GPS sytems, including the missing truck. This may be one of the reasons this truck was chosen, but all they have to do is cut the GPS wire. So, I'm not sure how much of a part that did or didn't play inot the theft. Unfortunately, the decal mode on MS had a little too much to drink that night. It wouldn't be uncommon for anyone to see other BPI trucks around Tennessee, but all of them should be pulling BPI trailers.

I had already committed to be present at the Operation: Can you hear us now? event in downtown, so I will be leaving that even early (1:00 pm) to head over to the Second or None event. Not an ideal situation, but I'd like to show support for both groups.

Where will the parking areas be? I plan on attending the event with at least a handful of other folks. Most of us will be riding motorcycles.

Awww...What's the fun in that? Hey! A review is a review.

I'm a Comcast user who's not experiencing any issues.

When I went to see Austrilian Pink Floyd, TPAC was posted.

I dunno, but IT would make a great start to a nice holster.
