Aaaaand yet another one who thinks they have it all figured out... Especially the part where it is *my* fault this thread degraded when people like you failed to follow the topic focus I set from the start. Yep - you got me, I forced you and the other people to post
Combative and disagreeable... rich
As the OP, you could have closed this thread long ago. That is one way to end this mess.

Hmmm. I've looked all around, where do I find that?
- OS
Its magic: you are # 1838.
If you look at your public profile, its embedded at the end of the URL.

Excellent. So you can point to any threads where this topic has been discussed?
Try the search button... This has been covered in most open carry related threads on TGO.

Almost 1000 unique members have visited TGO today.
I thought I'd been around here awhile. I just looked and my member number is under 1400. We've had some pretty good growth in the last few years.

Surely some TGOer near Chattanooga has a XD or a universal sight tool. I'd look for someone on here that would let you borrow the tools. I've got a spreadsheet around somewhere that tells how much to move the rear sight based on the distance shooting, sight radius of the gun, difference in POA and POI, etc.
BTW, I sure don't blame you for letting the old gunsmith work on your XD again!
-
Any chance you can get the original gunsmith to finish the job he started? That assumes you want him to work on your xd again. It sounds to me like he didn't finish the job you hired him to do.

Why is post count important? I'll never understand this.
This comes from someone with 10,000+ posts...
Only kidding!For some reason, some people use post count as a way to 'measure' themselves. IMO, a high post count only means you've been around for a long time and been active. Some guys with high post counts get them by stirring the pot; others by being useful and helpful.
As you can tell from my post count and when I joined TGO, I really place alot of importance on post count.

If I'm not mistaken, some states have passed, or have tried to pass, legislation that makes this BS illegal.
The states should make this illegal. Maybe when Bloomy gets NYC cleaned up, he can start advising the rest of the nation. Even then, pulling this undercover "investigation" crap is, well, crap!

Undercover investigators buy guns without background checks - CNN.com
As usual, he's out pushing for closing the 'gun-show loophole'...

But, what says it couldn't have been written as more "real"?
I think if it was written as more "real", there wouldn't be any zombies.

I have never heard of 'dual residency' when it came to states.
As for the Chicago debacle, remember that Rham was Obama's chief of staff. You don't get better connections that he has. If you have Obama on speed dial, you could probably get away with a FTF transfer in Florida (but even then it might end up in court). Otherwise, I wouldn't suggest it.
-
A handgun will have to go through a FFL in TN. If its a long gun, you can do the transfer through a FFL in FL.
The only legal way you can buy from a resident from another state is to go through a FFL.

Back to the topic, this looks like a really cool shotgun. I like innovative designs. I do want to fondle one before even thinking about buying it.

Prayers sent. I lost my Mom to cancer when I was 25 - it sure is a dreadful disease.

Did you watch the videos? Was that gun "unreliable"?
I have heard a LOT of complaints about Hi Points... but reliability has never been one of those complaints.
There was a FTE and a double feed in the first 15 rounds or so fired from the 9mm. Those are reliability issues.
Granted the gun was tough as can be. Reliability went down as they tortured the poor pistol - you can see in the later videos where they have misfires, etc. I sure wouldn't blame those issues on the gun after all it had been through by then.
I would prefer other manufacturers for a EDC but if I had to, I'd carry a Hi Point.

Don't let him get started paying quarterly's; once that starts, he can never stop. Been there, done that.
In the past, I paid quarterly. At the time a significant portion of my income was as an independent contractor. If I didn't pay quarterly, the penalties would have kicked in. Now, I don't pay quarterly. I don't get enough income from independent work to matter. The government just wants to stop you from paying in all taxes at the end of the year - they like the interest free loans people give them (i.e. refunds due) but they want their money now.
Basically, whether or not you should pay quarterly depends on your employment status, etc.

While I have no one on my ignore list, there are a couple of people that I generally don't bother reading their posts. I've kinda trained myself to just go on to the next post.

For $39, it'd be hard to beat that deal.

Do the PC's have GB NICs? Having a 1GB switch is great but if the individual computers only have 100MB NICs, it won't help performance much.

Make sure they are all on the same subnet. The standard is to use 192.168.x.x for private networks. You will have to setup the gateway, DNS, etc. correctly - assuming these machines have a way to get to the internet.

Try calling Guns and Leather. I think they are NFA friendly. They allow long guns but only in handgun calibers.

Why the sarcasm? I have done it to a Black Jack model 7 and it looks really cool. I'm not saying it's some professional technique to increase a knife's value. Wow, tough crowd. It can be removed too if you don't like it.
I didn't ask the original question, but I'd like to have an idea of the result to expect. I'm not going to do anything to a gun or knife I own without some idea of the expected outcome.

First if he got a conditional proceed then he DID appeal. Conditionals are a response to an appeal of a denial. Second no gun dealer in TN will do a conditional proceed, due to the fact that a conditional proceed means there is info there (or missing) indicating a dis-qualifier where the TBI cannot clear a person but also cannot straight out deny and so put all the liability on the gun store without any further details. Thirdly, on transfers even though the customer has paid for it if he is denied on the background check the firearm is legally the stores it was transferred to. The problem being is that most online stores have a no return policy or 3-10 day inspection period. Since appeals take 15 days by law, they usually miss this window meaning the only place that can keep the gun legally is the transferred to store, in this case Coal Creek.
This guy is an idiot who should have had his stuff in order before hand. Another good reason to deal locally unless you are really sure you are clear on the BG.
Sounds like this guy had a typically case of "don't let the facts ruin a good story".
Thanks for posting the details about the denial and appeals process Smith - I learn something on TGO almost every day.

Yes, that is a copy of what's on their site. I have three issues with it:
- 1. This information is not mentioned on their registration page, nor anywhere on their fees page. It is listed on their Support FAQ page under "Why am I being charged a dollar ($1.00) every month?". The information is not readily pointed out when registering.
- 2. The registration page states, "We charge no recurring membership fees of any kind". This gives me the impression that they do not charge anything on a monthly basis. This is not true. When a business takes money from me & forces me to either spend it on their services or close my account, that's a "fee". Calling it a "credit balance" makes me feel like they're just dancing around the issue.
- 3. Charging $1 to a new credit card on file to verify that it's legit is one thing. Giving me a $1 credit towards their services in return is very nice. Charging it *every month* is beyond necessary.
You are not charged $1 every month. Its a one time verification charge. You will get a monthly statement from GB showing a $1 credit.
Edit: what strickj said. I guess I should have finished the thread before responding...
