[quote name='Dolomite_supafly' timestamp='1354300096' post='852917'] ....Crimson is right, if they had a seperate trigger for each barrel then it would be legal.[/quote] The new AF2011-A1 Double Barrel Pistol can be order in a number of configurations including either [b]two independent triggers and one sear group[/b] or with 2 triggers permanently joined. Even if you pull them both with one finger, isn't it really the same according to that definition as simultaneously pulling two triggers with two fingers as on double trigger shotguns? Probably one of the last pistolas I'd ever choose myself, though. - OS

[quote name='Glenn' timestamp='1354136954' post='852060'] I am pretty sure it is illegal to harvest a roadkill deer without permission from the TWRA. At least thats what they told me. [/quote] Well, sort of. You don't need permission first but are supposed to notify TWRA or a LEO in case of a deer. Bear requires actual kill tag. TN is very progressive, what with it's own roadkill law, the subject of much hooting in the press when it was enacted in late 90s. --------------------------- [b]70-4-115. Destruction and disposal of wildlife -- Permit -- Penalty.[/b] "Motorists are not required to report game accidentally killed by the operation of a motor vehicle. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary, wild animals accidentally killed by a motor vehicle may be possessed by any person for personal use and consumption; except that, first, personal possession of a deer accidentally killed by a motor vehicle is permitted only if the person notifies the wildlife resources agency or any law enforcement officer within a reasonable time not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours and supplies that person's name and address; and second, personal possession of a bear accidentally killed by a motor vehicle is permitted only when authorized by an enforcement officer of the wildlife resources agency and the person is issued a kill tag. In deer-kill notification situations where a law enforcement officer rather than someone with the wildlife resources agency is notified, the law enforcement officer or the officer's designee shall be responsible for notifying someone with the wildlife resources agency and supplying the information relevant to the deer-kill. Nothing in this section authorizes possession of federally protected wildlife or wildlife protected by the state under chapter 8 of this title." ------------------ - OS

[quote name='Lumber_Jack' timestamp='1354190473' post='852344'] It is very common for apartment leases to prohibit firearms. Hopefully the OP finds a good place. [/quote] Member had big flap over that about a year ago, was his user name Wyatt Earp? Couldn't find him, banned due to the other issue he had, or changed name? At any rate, unlike some rulings on subsidized public housing, and some states that specifically bar landlords from excluding firearms, TN has no statute that prevents a landlord adding a no-firearms clause in lease, just like no-pets, whatever. So you can scream 2A or whatever all you want, but it won't prevent the sheriff from executing a court ordered eviction notice if it comes to that. - OS

[quote name='Lester Weevils' timestamp='1354162457' post='852276'] Well there's no sense trying to be logical about anything concerning the ATF, but that thompson in the picture above has an angled foregrip rather than vertical, and not only that, the angle isn't a whole lot larger than that Magpul AFG. My eye is easily fooled but looks about 45 degrees. So it ought to be a "genuine angled foregrip" and just as legal regardless whether that stock-less thompson has an OAL of less than 26"? [/quote] Can't explain the Franklin XO-26 with that particular rationale, though. http://www.franklinarmory.com/PRODUCTS_XO-26.html And of course, no mention by the BATF of the Thompson legality as being due to "angled" grip. - OS

[quote name='Photoguy67' timestamp='1354160947' post='852260'] The letter states it is a firearm however is not a pistol or hand gun and is not exempt from AOW. [/quote] JFC, you're hopeless. The difference is in the 26" OAL distinction. Under that it's an AOW, over it, it's not. That's why the Franklin gun is legal.

[quote name='Photoguy67' timestamp='1354158300' post='852237'] I hate to bring this up again but the letter does describe it as an AOW. I would strongly encourage you to consult an attourney before attempting construction and ask him. [/quote] You've said it twice and are wrong twice. The letter [i]plainly[/i] states that a vertical forearm grip on a pistol of 26" or more changes it from a pistol to a firearm, and is NOT subject to NFA/AOW classification as long as it is not concealed on the person. There are sub 18" barreled pistol grip shotguns that also fit this classification as "firearm" from the git go. [img]http://shockwavetechnologies.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/RG500.11a1.jpg[/img] The trick is that neither must have started life as a rifle or shotgun. In the same way, it's now clear that you can go back and forth from pistol to rifle to pistol, but only if it began life as a pistol. But as Dolomite suggests, it's still gray whether you can go back and forth between a pistol and a "firearm". - OS

I've mostly used Logitech through the years also. But be aware that the mice are prone to a "double click" mechanical fault, that some will eventually start a double click routine with one click of the left button. One I "fixed" by smacking it just right, has held up for a year now, but will likely go wonky again. Has happened with three of mine, one wired and two wireless. https://www.google.com/search?q=logitech+double+click+problem&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a - OS
