Seems most airlines were already not doing it, but actually there was no "official" warnings by FAA or anybody else till after the thing was hit. - OS

Seems clear they fricked up. Heard the transmission between the Separatist and the Russian major? Was "oh sheet!". Or maybe between two "Separatist" guys, it's a bit muddled as the Russians have regular army "advisers" helping them. There was also a tweet from somebody in the ranks right after it was hit, crowing that they had scored on a "Ukrainian cargo plane". Tweet deleted soon as the "oopsie" was discovered. - OS

Tennessee Open-Carry Law Torpedoed by Underhanded Tactics?
Oh Shoot replied to Falcon1's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Heck, yeah, let's put a Dem in there instead who would veto any of the gun bills like Haslam signed. - OS -
As long as it was an "oopsie" on whoever's part, you're right. - OS

You silly billy, to perpetuate the wondrous strides he has made in transforming America, of course. - OS

Hell, we shot one down too. And while Reagan excoriated the Russians for having done same earlier, both the US commander and the ordinance chief later got commendations for their service during that time in Strait of Hormuz. Bad stuff happens in war zones. Other airlines were avoiding that area. Guess point is, assuming anyone takes responsibility for it, and says "oops", what's anyone to do really? And that seems to be the case, if the audio that has surfaced is to be believed, even though the Separatists haven't admitted they did it. Maybe the US compensated the families on the Irani airliner, dunno. But that was voluntary if they did. Far as I know, we didn't even get any UN bad dog resolution or anything for it. - OS

Well, heck, he was on tour, with US tour to follow. Had performed two days previously. - OS

Any 'mericuns on board changes that. Seems to be most likely done by a Ukraine Separatist group, which I haven't even understood exactly, since they're pro-Russian, so dunno why they're even called "separatist", seems like to be that they'd be allied with Ukrainian gov or nobody at all. Anyway, seems was likely a Buk missile, one of the items BHOs pen just "banned". Like, who in US does that effect? Our military doesn't use them and I wasn't likely to be able to get hold of one either. :) - OS

Dunno about stability, but shorter LOP if just using the SB47 alone. If I was gonna do it, think I'd use one of the grip adapters that allows AR buffer and just use the SB15. Maybe add folding one. But I think I'll just tame the flash some and call it a day with it. I added the sling adapter and can hit torso at 100 yards with it pretty well stretched out on sling with just the crummy front rear sight. Real nice at 50 yards. Or same with elbow on bench. - OS edit: just realized I'm dragging this way off topic, sorry.

Then you should agree with me. The law does not say that a non-compliant posting exonerates you from arrest/conviction. Perhaps that was the intent, but it doesn't say that. Contrast with the federal statute regarding carry in buildings which does say that. - OS
-
You make me blush. ;) Perhaps my least popular opinion is that one could still be convicted under 39-17-1359 even if a written posting is not compliant to the statutory provisions, as long as the message is clear. - OS

I've come to hesitate recommending TGAG for any reference anymore, since half the stuff on there is overblown to be half truth, but yes, in this case he seems to have stayed with what's known. previous thread started though: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/80299-obama-administration-bans-import-of-izhmash-kalashnikov-saiga-firearms/ - OS

Ten bricks do indeed make a standard "case" of .22LR. But more than 10 cases to a "flat". :) - OS

Well, again, that was only my opinion -- my opinion is also that a gunbuster sign alone does not ban knife carry under the provisions of the statute. Be sure to print out and hand them my opinion if they confront you. ;) - OS

They're advocating that anti-gunners exploit it is main theme. - OS

You can argue either side of that. Only switchblade knives and blades over 4 inches were violations. Would one assume that only prohibited knives are weapons? If so, why legislate a sign that allows only barring already prohibited weapons? Of course, a rebuttal to that is that contrary to what some think, 1359 is a separate charge even for someone carrying a firearm illegally, so in that sense it is barring an already prohibited behavior. But if 1359 were only about firearms, why didn't it simply use the word "firearms" exclusively? Why does the "buster" clause mention "the item within the circle"? Fortunately, since the statue is so rarely enforced, it's largely irrelevant in esse. Obvious practical advice is not to open carry a gun or a blade in a posted establishment, eh? - OS
