Noticed that today was Marswolf's birthday. I hope you found the peace you were looking for!

It is a great price! You should jump on that one!

Mayor Dean’s Two-Year-Old Niece Killed In Accident http://www.newschannel5.com/story/16956254/mayor-deans-niece-killed-in-accident My prayers go out to the family!

I own a PCR and here are the measurements Frame= 1.1 Slide= .934 Grip= 1.4 (at widest point with stock rubber grips)

I've got one but I gotta leave for an appt with a lawyer. If I have time when I get home I'll check mine before going to work.

I bought the PCR after going thru the same questions that you are. I bought the PCR because it has a decocker instead of a safety. The P-01 also has a decocker but I didn't want/need the rail. The 75 compact has the safety. That's why I settled for the PCR and I have not been disappointed with it! I've been to the range 2 times and put 350 rds thru it. It has been absolutely flawless. I see that you are in the Boro. I'm in Nashville in the Haywood Ln area. If you want to check the feel I could probably meet you somewhere and let you check out the feel in your hand. I didn't find one locally either and just took a chance on it. Buds has a P-01 in stock for $558 http://www.budsgunsh...ack%2C+15+round Impact Guns has a P-01 in stock for $539.99. They show a picture of the SP-01 though. https://www.impactgu...6703911991.aspx I bought my P-06 from this company. http://www.jetguns.com/ They are currentlt out of the P-01 but I like that they let me pay with my debit card without any up charge. Here's a great forum for CZ information. http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php

I've got the PCR. It's basically the same as the P-01 but without the rail. I LOVE mine, so much so that I also bought a CZ P-06 which is also the same gun but in a 40 cal. It sounds like you are past considering a RAMI. They are fine guns too but if you do happen to decide on one be sure to get the steel frame version and not the poly.

Some of you know that I've been taking care of my aging parents for nearly 3 years now. Mom passed on in mid Oct. and Dad went 10 days ago. I have some info that I want to share with anyone who may sometime need some of the services that we needed in their last days. The name of the facility where they were at the end is a place in Franklin, TN called Southern Care Assisted Living. It's located @ 3595 Carothers Parkway. The Administrator's name is Tommy Thomason. We had started out in another facility in Nashville but after Mom fell the first time they were unable to properly care for Dad because of his fall risk. I had also checked with the nursing home where Mom had been to see what they charged. They started out at $5700 a month and went up from there. When I was checking Southern Care out I sat down with Tommy and he was telling me all that they would do for Dad. I was very skeptical. They were an assisted living facility and not a skilled nursing facility but he promised me that they could properly care for Dad. Then he told me that their price was all inclusive meaning no additional charge for washing his clothes, administering his medications and any of the many other add ons that most of these facilities charge. They were only $3100 a month! I could not see how they would be able to do what he promised for that amount but I gave them a try anyway. Let me tell you that I could not have made a better choice anywhere! I never walked in there and smelled anything foul that is so common in most of the other facilities. I only once came in and found him in wet chothes and that was from spilling his water on himself at lunch. I never encountered a staff member who gave me the impression that they were just doing a job but they all seemed to genuinely be concerned with every resident they were responsible for. Southern Care in an Awesome facility!!! The only issue that I had with them also leads me to the other point that I want to share with you. Mom and Dad had a Long Term Health Care policy with John Hancock. I pray that none of you have LT insurance with this sorry company. Once I get what's owed to us I'm filing a complaint with the TN State Dept. of Commerce and Insurance. It's now 3 days short of 4 months since Mom passed away and I have yet to get the final payment for her. That's unbelieveably frustrating since JH statements show that Mom still had almost $55k in future benefits that were still available to her that they will get to keep as profit. The fact that I have to fight to get the final $850 is mind boggling! Now the Southern Care issue. They are a privately owned business and the owner's mother in law does the billing. Since they are independent they have no need for a fancy billing system so she has just done it with an Excel spreadsheet. That was part of the problem with JH. They wanted to know what they were paying for and the bill didn't say specifically. She would sometimes send out a bill that didn't have anything showed for the next month as the new balance. I would up just making my own and also sending that along with that a copy of a brochure from Southern Care that told about the services that were including in their price. I had just started to get them to accept what I was sending in for Dad when he passed and dad also had over $60k in future benefits but I'll be so glad to get this behind me. John Hancock SUCKS!!! It makes me wonder how many Sr citizens that are trying to do this on their own just give up because they make it so terribly difficult to get them to pay what the policy calls for. If you have John Hancock LT Health Care I wish you luck. If a family member has them and you end up as their care giver and must deal with them I urge you to be very diligent. Never give up or give in! I was talking with a man today that runs a Non-profit who had given me 2 wheelchairs for Dad last year. (He is one of the great members here on TGO!) I was returning them along with a few other donations of equipement that we had bought. He told me that his Dad had also just passed recently and that he had Met Life LT Health. He told me that they were very easy to deal with and that one day while on the phone with one of their people he asked why they were so good. He was told that Met Life doesn't allow anyone into that department unless they have been in a situation where they were having to manage a family member's coverage with any company. That gives them a great perspective on the situation that people that they will be dealing with on the phone are in and what they need from them. I know who I'm going to when the time comes to make that purchase. I also have the name of a company in the Cool Springs Area that specialize in Estate & Elder Financila Planning. I sat down with them and gave them Mom and Dad's financial info and they spent an hour and a half (for free) going over options for them. When it was over they told me that I really didn't need their services at that point. It was very informative and helpful. I hope that you can use the information that I've shared about my great experience with Southern Care and also my warning about the dispicable way that John Hancock treats their customers. If I can help with any more information just send a PM and I'll get back with you. Good Luck and God Bless! David

I'll pass on this one for my own sake.

I was just in there 10 days ago picking up a gun they tranfered in for me. She is a sweetheart and I will certainly keep her in my prayers!

Did we lose the blogs in the switch?

Heading there now.

The story conveniently let out wheter or not she had a permit to carry the gun. I guess if she would have had a permit they would have certainly plastered that on the headlines, "Permit Holder Arrested with Gun on Shhool Grounds". She had to know that she was breaking the law and must have decided the risk was worth it.

Exactly! As a responsible gun owner I want to always be as safe as I can be and if that means to take classes then that should be up to me on a volunteer basis.

Congrats on the new gig! What day are you on West End? I work nights at the Apple Market next door.

Poor kid. When I read things like this the first thing that I do is thank God for the parents that I was blessed with!

I decided that I would go to the range instead! (indoor of course)

Maybe her death will wake up some of the others that are on the same road she has been on.

I getting used to the new look and function and think I'll like it better! Great job David!

Here's one

Maybe. Hate the extra to park. Usually not worth that much.

I'll read a link that someone posts to the Tennessean on a forum like this but that's about the only way that I would see them.

I must have missed that this morning. No that's not it. I just remembered, I dropped that piece of crap years ago!

It would be easy to get carried away with the available grips!
