the problem with the Taurus lifetime warrenty is you will probebly use it.... Btw, as far as know, S&W and Beretta have never had any buisness interest in Taurus.

THEY DONT LEGALLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION... THEY CAN HOWEVER REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE... crap cap lock.... so they chose to refuse service to those whome chose to open carry, and they will ask them to leave, if they dont they call the PO PO...

I guess, my screen went to crap, when it came back up there was like three of them.... LOL

you got lucky... really!

we challenged wally world years ago. So they developed their own policy saying all HCP holders must carry concealed. I have a letter around here somehwhere... but im not looking for it tonight.

no im just tired of taking time away from me doing real work(im posting gun ads/auctions and surfing here while pics are downloading) and looking for something to prove a point on the internet. Btw, fallguy just found one of them, and I think every TCA concerning every LE position says something similier. Its all up to an officer, DA, Judge, and jurys descretion. Wanna prove it so bad... strap on and go to wally world, just give me a heads up so I can make sure the right guys on duty. Like I said, its a grey area... it might happen, it might not... but is it really worth all the bullshiet it may cause?

I'll find it when I have time... right now my heads like JELLO. Im waiting on a test subject/person....

well theres one way to find out. Go for it and tell us how it worked out for you. Keep in mind Walmarts illegal "policy" about open carry... Might I also suggest a particular county where Im sure you will find the results your looking for. Sumner would be nice, Hendersonville to be exact... im sure there you will find your answer... and your destiny.

search grasshopper... Find where the law allows the use and wearing of a badge. And for whats its worth, I know some agency's have prosecuted for it... just gotta try and dig up the information from the net. You guys have to remember, its up to the officers discretion to make the determination if someone is impersonating. If he deems the public would assume, by the "action" a person may have taken (gun and badge displayed openly)... that person was a police officer... then he can effect an arrest. You have to admit, who would the general public assume carrys a gun and a badge? Under the TCA only a police, sheriff, State or Federal Agent, Fire Marshal, Constable, or Security Guard are legally able use a bade for identification. Now I dont think there is a law stating others cant have a badge, but there is laws saying who can... and when other persons actions imply they are one of the above... thats when it gets tricky. Btw... for all those wanting to wear a badge, why not go ahead and get your car all dolled up in stripping and lights too? I mean, its the same "wanna-be" thing... no more no less. Its tricky... and its grey... but in the right situation, if the right officer wants too he can make it stick.

better a little to long, then to cut it off to short... its not one of those instances where a half an inch really matters.

I thought I chimmed in on this already... Wearing a HCP badge and carry your weapon openly is a bad idea. Your asking to get arrested, your food spit in/on, or winding up being same gang bangers initiation. Let the professionals that are legal to wear a badge per the TCA(Tennessee law) wear them. The rest need to be responsible citizens and keep your stuff hidden.

when you have one only a 1 vote majority, you cant count your chickens before they hatch.

got some of these and soem 380's on the way.

wow... We have heard that rumor for several weeks. I hate rumors like that, but at the same time its keeping everyone in the gun buisness very busy these days.

carry it in your wallet... never get a badge, they are for wannabe's... and will eventually get you in trouble.

well if the others are going to chime in I guess I will too. I have been teaching the carry permit course longer then anyone in the state. Our regular courses are held on Saturdays and we can make special arrangements to hold classes during the week. The course is 8 hours and we get it all finished in one day. We specialize in novice shooters. Right now were running 2-3 classes a week and were booked up till the 1st part of April, but have them call me and maybe we can make something special happen.

did he survive it????????

were backed up till the end of March, and Im doing two a week. We havent been this busy since 1994.

The noth american is a good lil gun, the jennings is a boat anchor.. and the Knight is obsolete and worth about $50-75 retail.

rule of thumb is, if your going to bother carrying a rifle... carry it chambered with a rifle round. Use good ammo.

the best advertising you can get is making people happy so you can get their "word of mouth"...

honestly its because they cant get anyone else to talk to them about some things. Usually when there is something up, I get phone calls early that morning from at least 2 of the networks. Unless its something that im passionate about I usually decline the interview. Sometimes its smarter to say nothing then to look bad on TV.

i have a mossberg 590...
