There is a fairly clean hole in the glass where it entered. Not so sure that it hit somethings first. Here’s some news: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wbir.com/amp/article%3fsection=news&subsection=crime&headline=glass-shattered-after-gun-unintentionally-discharged-at-kingston-pike-restaurant&contentId=51-620993096

These types of things are to be expected at a place that serves nachos in dog food bowls.

https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2018/11/30/red-flag-laws-curb-gun-violence-and-protect-second-amendment/2150449002/ A Tennessee state senator explains why he is introducing a "red flag" bill to remove firearms from people deemed by a court to be dangerous and why it can be a bipartisan win. Gun violence plagues all American communities – including those in Tennessee – and cannot be ignored. We need to come together across political divisions and formulate policies to curb the number of senseless deaths while still protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Often, following mass shootings, people who knew the shooter indicate there were warning signs. After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, for example, reports surfaced that the gunman’s mother had called the police regarding his behavior on multiple occasions. Similarly, following the shooting at the Capital Gazette newsroom, a woman who had been stalked by the gunman said she told police officers that he would be the “next mass shooter.” Those in crisis and considering suicide may also exhibit warning signs and in the past five years, firearm suicide has claimed the lives of approximately 3,000 Tennesseans. With nearly 22,000 Americans dying every year, firearm suicide is a public health crisis in our nation. Unfortunately, the people who notice warning signs, most often family and law enforcement, lack the tools necessary to intervene before it is too late. Passage of the law could be a bipartisan win Many states have addressed this shortfall by passing “red flag laws.” Red flag laws allow law enforcement and family members to seek a court order to temporarily remove guns from potentially dangerous situations. Red flag laws empower us to be proactive in preventing gun violence while containing robust due process protections to ensure a person’s access to guns is limited only when a court finds there is clear and convincing evidence these individuals present a risk to themselves or others. Since the Parkland shooting, eight states have passed new red flag laws, all with bipartisan support. Half of these bills have been signed by a Republican governor. This is exactly the type of bipartisan, common-sense gun violence prevention policy we need in Tennessee, which is why I will introduce a red flag bill when the Tennessee General Assembly reconvenes next session. Sen. Steve Dickerson, R-Nashville (Photo: Submitted) As a lifelong Republican, gun owner and avid shooter, I respect and know the importance of the Second Amendment. I also know reducing gun violence in Tennessee will require leadership from people with a variety of backgrounds. I look forward to working with leaders from both parties and our new governor to pass this important bill. This policy can save lives while protecting our Second Amendment rights and that is why I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this critical public safety tool. Steve Dickerson, R-West Nashville, represents District 20 in the Tennessee Senate.

Not the greatest book but it's worth reading just to finish the series up. They have it at the library.

You’ve got one more to go. The Final Day makes it a trilogy.

or even having them.

Where is the “white paper” twice quoted but not sourced?

Done.

Go Vols. One day we will relive the glory of 1998.

It all depends.....on about 8 thousand or more variables.

That might depend on what .30 caliber is. .303 British and 7.62x54 Russian are nearly identical and both use a .311 bullet. The first US rifle in .30 caliber was the .30-40 adopted in the early 1890’s to counter European developments in that caliber range. It fires a .308 projectile as do all following all US military developed .30’s.

This is no time for your anarchy, lol. I do enjoy seeing Memphis win.

The Boys are getting their asses handed to them...again.

Silence from you! I thought you were a UT man!

He was once mayor of Knoxville and punched another city councilman, lol. His autobiography is out there floating around somewhere. I read it over 25 years ago. Believe I found it at the library. He was a colorful character.

Pure genius @billt but you left out an ingredient. What silicone spray are you using?

Happy Thanksgiving!

The “crud” I see is dust and lint. I would bet that pistol hasn’t been out of a holster since the last yearly qualification.

You can carry any kind of blade you want, a handgun on your person (with a permit), or any kind of gun in your car, but those types of dirty weapons are a no go.

It does to me.

They are already doing that and I doubt the rate of home burglaries has declined since more people started leaving guns in their cars.

Yes, it’s filthy. Apparently weapons maintenance is not a CPD requirement.

Wielding a rifle or shotgun was a rarity for Andy but the inventory in that rack changed constantly.

Have any of you gun nuts ever noticed that what’s in the rifle rack in the Mayberry courthouse/Sheriff Taylor’s office is different every episode? There’s always a couple or few mil-surps, old shotguns, etc., but the arrangement and types of long arms always changes.

Not as much as I used to and would like to. I did take my US M1917 out for it’s 100th birthday last week and it was thoroughly enjoyable.
