I took a quick look while in there yesterday, but didn't see any Emerson knives. The organization level of their knives wasn't the best I've seen, so I could have easily overlooked a few.

New spin on an old tactic. I like it.

Get over it.

2.5" barrel.

Yea, this guy is in H'ville, so it's a little drive for you. I wish I knew someone else, but I haven't really had the chance to meet too many folks. I'm trying my best to avoid the $60-$70/hr labor rates at the dealer.

Sounds like a plan to me. Not sure if it will help, but I used this guy (Motorcycle /Scooter. Tech. & Complete Service) a couple weeks ago for a small fix. He works out of his garage. He did a great job on mine, but I honestly know very little about how knowledgeable he really is. He claimed to have several years experience with dealers, but I have no way of verifying that. I'd go back to him for something basic (maybe even a fuel leak), but if I needed something real serious done, I'd probably look somewhere else. He was a real nice guy, and even though the job was a little more difficult than he had expected, he honered his initial quote.

I plan on buying them locally, because other than BT, they are pretty close to the same price everywhere else. I took a look at the Oakley's, but I still think I like the Bates better. The look anyway.

Yea, I checked out the Danner's while I was there, but they were a little out of my price range. I didn't plan on spending $100+, but it looks like I'm gonna have little choice for a decent boot. So far, BotachTactical.com has the best price I've been able to find on the Bates GX8. $107/Shipped.

No Way! That slide is so obviously a Beretta.

Glad to hear you'll be able to make it. I may take that route, too. I'm just down the road from 109 myself. If Rightwinger is able to make it, he may like the idea of that route.

Well, I stopped by Greene's to take a look at some options. The best two that I found were the Bates GX8 (#2268) and the 5.11 ATAC Storm. Both seemed to be of good quality, but because of fit, the Bates edged out the 5.11. The Bates fit more snug around my foot, and the 5.11's seemed as if they were made for a wider foot. I'm going to give it a little more thought, but I think the GX8 is going to be the way to go for me.

I'm a local company driver. Most of your OTR companies will not allow you to carry a firearm because they never know where you'll be going. Plus, they are scared to death that you'll wanna shoot your lying-ass dispatcher:D. This especially going to be true of the companies that are willing to hire you right out of a CDL school. I can't think of one that doesn't have 'No Firearms' policy. Once you have some experience (generally 1-year+), you may be able to find a firearms friendly company to work for. That's not too easy to do when it comes to the world of OTR trucking.

Only 6 people? We can do better than that.

Nope. No law(s) against carrying in a commercial vehicle. Carry on, my friend. If it makes you feel any better, I carry on a daily basis in my commercial vehicle (18-wheeler), and cross the TN and KY scales on a regular basis. No worries.

Not likely to happen when dealing with a company like Seecamp, but you never know. I wouldn't be able to resist. I require a little more peace of mind.

Yea! That way you'll never know they just sent you a box of lead fishing weights.

Just fairly? Care to expound?

If your boss says it's Ok and you have an HCP, you're good to go. And FYI, it is NOT against the law for those of us with CDL's to carry while on the job. As long as we have an HCP and aren't driving somewhere where firearms are prohibited or a state that does not recognize TN's HCP, we are good to go. There is NO law that says truck drivers can't carry firearms.

Don't forget to send me my finders fee.

True. But that sounds like a whole lot of work, and the few bucks I'll save probably isn't worth my precious time. Plus, I need an excuse to ride the bike to Winchester.

I'll probably just shell out the cash for a quality product at Hero-Gear. They have some Bates and Magnum Elites that I think I may like. I'm quite picky about my footwear, so buying online really isn't an option. My girlfriend will enjoy the Zappos.com site, though.
