I'm right handed and left eye dominant. Like Steelharp, I tilt my handgun about 20* counter clockwise when shooting. This lets me shoot with my right hand and let my left eye dominate the aiming. I'm convinced my left arm is for balance, so learning to shoot left handed is a non-starter for me.

You have to spend money to save money. Wait, that sounds like something our government would endorse!

You can also get dealer pricing at midwayusa, brownells, etc. with a C&R. I save enough through my online purchases to justify the C&R. You just have to send your FFL information to the online dealers - they all have a different process to follow.

Sky King, please keep us posted on the progress - I couldn't get out of work today to attend. Thanks for taking the initiative to show up and voice your opinion on the bill.

I'd feel safer carrying a mace Mace (club) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Not every entrance is posted so just enter through one of the unmarked entrances and you're good to go.
Most of the mall entrances are not posted but the parking lot is. I'm unaware of any entrances to the parking lot that aren't legally posted.
-
None of the department stores are posted. None of the entrances from the department stores to the mall are posted.
I don't read anywhere in the TCA that indicates a parking lot posting would be legal, just entrances to buildings and attached patios. Am I missing something regarding parking lots?
At every main parking lot entrance, there is a small, legal TCA posting. By law, they can post the parking lot - then they don't need to post building entrances, etc. Once you carry past a legal sign, you are breaking the law and subject to punishment (if detected).
Unfortunately, the signs at Cool Springs are very easy to miss.

If the victim does not have a HCP I bet he gets one soon!
Wouldn't do him much good there - unless he's willing to break the law. Cool Springs is posted at the entrances to the mall parking lots.

Good thing the mall is posted - otherwise the bad guys might have had a gun.

Representatives voting aye were: Brooks H, Brooks K, Butt, Carr, Casada, Coley, Dennis, Dunn, Eldridge, Ford, Harrison, Haynes, Hurley, Keisling, Kernell, Lundberg, Marsh, Matlock, McCormick, McManus, Miller D, Montgomery, Odom, Powers, Ramsey, Roach, Sargent, Sexton, Shipley, Sparks, Weaver, Williams R, Wirgau, Womick, Madam Speaker Harwell -- 35.
These members ARE NOT our friends
Some of these are no surprise to me. Harwell is my representative (well, at least she represents my district) and I've come to expect absolutely no response from her on any communication from me on gun related legislation. I've tried all communication paths I can think of other than smoke signals.
I fully expect her to vote against gun owners every chance she gets.

He is around 46. I don't know his exact age. His 'incident' happened over 10 years ago.
-
Yep, my friend is extremely safe. That is one event that he will never forget. I've shot with him multiple times and he is one of the safest people I know. Unfortunately, all it takes is one brain fart to undo a lifetime of safety. We can never be lax with safety, or else!
-
Now, what do you guys think about my other question on how you feel about respecting the wishes of the owner vs. simply carrying regardless of the owners request?
Big can of worms there. As I recall, generally people fall into one of two camps: 1) I know what they mean and I'll spend my money elsewhere or 2) that posting is only to appease the sheeple and I'll just keep my firearm concealed and go about my business. There are exceptions but those are common ways of handling 'not legal' postings.
Its up to you to decide how you will handle those situations. There's not any clear case law (that I'm aware of) that would set legal precedent for handling this type of situation/posting.
-
I've got a good friend that shot himself in the hand - he will readily admit it was his fault and he violated multiple safety rules. Thankfully, he healed completely (well accept for the ration of crap he takes from his friends about it).
Always make sure your Glock is unloaded prior to field stripping.

I really feel for the little girl and her family. I can't imagine what her father is going through.
You have to violate multiple firearms safety rules for someone to get accidentally shot.

Keep the updates coming. That's one nice 1911.

I said THE assertion. I never said YOUR assertion.
Relax. Please.
Oh, I'm plenty relaxed. You quoted me in your post about THE assertion. I'm just making it clear that I never mentioned anything along those lines.
-
No more ludicrous than the assertion that when my car is parked on your lot, you have absolute power over what it contains. Blah.
Show me where I made that assertion. Thats what I thought...
I only mentioned that under current TN law, once your car leaves your property, the rules (at least w.r.t. firearms) change. Like it or not, that's the way it currently is.
-
It's my understanding (and I don't have time to confirm at the moment) that in at least some states, you do not need any special permit to carry in a vehicle provided the weapon stays in the vehicle - this may or may not be related to how they treat a person's vehicle (i.e. as a full-fledged extension of the person's home) - I know that's not true here but perhaps it should be!
In KY, anyone (who can legally carry) can carry in a car as long as the gun is either in plain sight or in the glovebox. Of course, KY is also an open carry without permit state.
-
So if a druggie's car parked in your parking lot has illegal drugs in the trunk, you should be liable–because it's on your property.
I bet in that case you would say "It's not my car officer. Belongs to that guy. Those are his drugs."
Blah, blah, blah...
I'm talking about actual TN law - no theories, etc. Plain and simple - try driving around and keep a loaded firearm in your car without a HCP; your first encounter with an officer will resort in an arrest. "But my car is my property - I can do what I want." won't go very far with a judge.
The situation you outlined is ludicrous. By current TN law, the officer would go after the owner of the car.
-
Maybe not specifically defined (I haven't looked) but we know this...
When a loaded gun is in your car on your property; its legal because it's on your property. When you cross your property line you become a criminal unless you have an HCP. Common sense tells me that answers the in/on your property question.
If only common sense was much more common! I agree with you DaveTN - based on current TN law you can carry on your personal property. Once you get in your car and off your property (even though you are in your car) you better have a HCP if you are armed.
-
You Glock types are so easily riled. I will never understand the reluctance to add an additional precaution.
Just carry without one in the chamber. Why not carry unloaded? There are always additional precautions you can add to carrying a firearm.
Each person has a choice in how they carry a firearm. An unloaded gun is safe, but not very useful (if/when the need arises).

I found some mole spray that drives them away. Unfortunately it doesn't kill them or the food source. It does run them off into the neighbor's yard...
My neighbors on both sides have them and basically don't do anything about them. Around once a year, I buy some stuff that you attach to the garden hose and then water the yard. It runs them off - at least until the 'stuff' wears off.
I may have to try the traps. I could probably make a fur coat based on the amount of tunnels around my neighborhood.
Keep the updates coming. That's one nice 1911.
Moon clips for S&W 442

Posted
The only factory j-frames that take the moon clips, to my knowledge, are the pro series revolvers. Other j-frames can have their cylinders cut to accommodate the moon clips. Getting my j-frame modified is on my list of things to do.
