Oh Shoot

The Dems had already done their nuke option under Reid to include all judges but SCOTUS, as they couldn't get BHO's appointments confirmed. Then Mitch did same for SCOTUS to get Gorsuch through. The tax cut was done in Senate by avoiding the 60% cloture on debate with some gray flimflam called the "Byrd Rule" that applied to fiscal legislation only. In short, the "rules" are whatever the party in power says they are. - OS

Again, it's already been done for appointments. That's how they Gorsuch in. - OS

TN law doesn't address that, it's federal law you need to know. And yes, it's legal to do it. However, the actual practice is problematic. A firearm receiver is a firearm. So I repeat, Neither FedEx nor UPS will ship any firearm between non-licensees any longer. If you don't declare a firearm to them, you have broken their Terms of Service (big whoop I know ha, except they'll deny any claim, and firearms tend to disappear within their systems), but more importantly, federal law, where you must declare a firearm to the carrier for non-licensee involved shipping. So the only completely legal option I know is to use USPS (and good luck depending on which clerk you get). - OS

That was to an FFL. Neither FedEx nor UPS will ship any firearm between non-licensees any longer. And since you can't use USPS for handguns, there is actually no longer any legal way to ship a handgun intrastate between private individuals. - OS

Well, there's: "Juveniles under the age of eighteen (18) are prohibited from using handguns for the purpose of hunting." https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/twra/documents/huntguide.pdf Page 14. That's been a long standing rule. - OS

Probably most here don't even know who he is, but it was quite a sense of loss to me to learn he committed suicide overnight. Such a seemingly boundless lust for life, it's hard to believe really. Maybe more to the story, or maybe just an insidious depression that finally tipped the seesaw. - OS

Yeah, I grew up with Cheyenne. Alternated with Bronco and Sugarfoot. - OS

Tim's a class act:

Ooo, that's too bad, wonder what's up. I had no idea, last dealing I had with them was last Sept, all normal then. - OS

Saw thread on ARFCOM that they were moving and so FFL wasn't updated for new location, so a gun to be transferred was stuck in limbo. But that was couple weeks ago, no mention on their site of a move, looks like biz per usual, so dunno what's up. Definitely should call them before a transfer I'd say. - OS

Yep, without violating carrier terms of service (which would also violate federal law by not informing), there is now no way to ship a handgun intrastate to another individual or yourself or interstate to yourself -- even though both actions are legal under federal law. - OS

I ate it for years as a kid (grandmother), and off and on through the years since. Last time was about 3 years ago, picked a mess along the greenway here in middle of Knox. I kind of doubt there's very much nutritional value in it though, since you need to boil the crap out of it at least 3 different times to get most of poisonous alkaloids out of it. - OS

Yeah, I never really heard any more about that ruling. It basically says that any FFL can sell a handgun directly to out of state residents, but as I understand it, only within that district. I've wondered if it actually affected any FFL behavior within that area or not, and I've never seen an ATF response to it. - OS

As far as the residence part, yes, and I think you'll find that is ATF policy based on case law. And another point is that only the seller can commit a crime at this point, as the buyer has not violated federal law until he brings the firearm back into his home state (or causes it to be delivered there). The age factor is a bit more iffy since simply "looking young" I suppose could be "reasonable cause to believe" the buyer is a minor. I don't know enforcement policy based on case law regarding that. All that said, unlike some, I find it quite reasonable to simply ask for ID during a private sale. - OS

Simply quoting you the federal statute Dave. The "know or have reasonable cause to believe" condition is there for each type of illegal personal sale. That's why stings are always pretty specific: "um, I don't live in this state but....", or "um, I'm not 18 yet, but...", or "um, I can't buy a gun from a dealer, but..." - OS

Federally, the burden of proof is that you "know or have reasonable cause to believe" the sale is such. - OS

Cities/counties can enact no gun legislation in this state except actual discharge of firearms, location of firing ranges, and carry by employees/contractors. - OS

NRA Carry Guard Insurance has already been announced as being dropped entirely has it not?

Yes of course. It is the host. https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/210076663-Upload-Images - OS

BTW, this must be referring to your total account limit for picture space? (I just did some 100k ones, which did fine) - OS

Mossy holds an extra round, too, 5+1. - OS

Shooters Nation login failed all of a sudden btw couple weeks ago. Same username and password as here. But main prob, no email sent out through "forgot password" link. Used a comcast one, but nothing in spam or junk folders there. Sent message through contact link there, nada. - OS

Unlike IL, TN has state preemption for most all local firearm laws. - OS

Meh. Bill had no practical effect IMNSHO in the first place. Either a cop tells you to buzz off with no charge (same as now) or he could arrest you without asking you to leave (same as now). - OS

Little sneaky poo tonight. Listings show 2 hours for the episode with Talking Dead on an hour later (which they mentioned last week). But later repeats are only an hour. Apparently they're slipping in unannounced premier episode of new series call "The Terror" to help jumpstart it. - OS
