Oh Shoot

You can celebrate the feat of acquiring a 1986 Blanton. - OS

All the range maps show them over whole state. Actually, only a few areas in the US where they are not. Like: etc - OS

I know Sportsman's Guide is poor on descriptions much of the time, but really? http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/us-military-issue-surplus-piranha-holster-bianchi-for-ruger-lcp-380-acp-new?a=1941631

Well, okay, I'll own up. Irony is I had some cheapo bag, somebody else shot it doing that and then damn if I didn't do the same frigging thing about a year later with a better Midway one!! Anyway, I've had a Midway "Competition Range Bag System" model for a good while now, it's really aces, but has one drawback -- before I know it I've got like 75 freakin pounds in there! (And though I still use it as a rest now and then, I'm much more careful that the muzzle clears all of it.

??? AFAIK, Illinois at least as yet does not honor any other state's permit? - OS

My point was, can't you change it there yourself, where I said? Allows one change every 90 days it says. But maybe you have to wait the 90 days after first registering to do it, dunno. - OS

5.56 AK and 7.62 AR? So, either of those can use whichever bathroom they want I guess? - OS

Apparently not bad enough to compromise function I guess. But anyway, if it's that noticeable, it's probably the gas block itself and I assume it's a low profile one under the handguard. Also assuming it's on there with either bolts or setscrews. So unless you can get to those through the railed handguard, you're gonna have to remove it to tighten anyway. - OS

You didn't look? Account settings: display name - OS

Are you indeed using a muzzle device that actually needs to be timed to a certain orientation like an A2 flash hider? - OS

Well, let's see, you weren't merely in vehicle with firearm and you weren't carrying a handgun with permit -- though it sounds like you maybe got a raw deal, those were the two issues I mentioned, neither of which seems pertinent to your situation? What were you charged with btw, hunting out of season? What was the outcome? - OS

Do tell, search didn't find the dirt you must be referencing. - OS

It applies to "firearms" under the statute. As far as hunting, you are either hunting from a vehicle or you are not, and simply having a loaded firearm in it is not. Carrying a handgun with HCP in the woods is not hunting with it either, unless you are. - OS

I myself would have made as big a stink as possible over it, ie, file complaint with PD, approach newspaper, etc. - OS

This happen since 7/2014?

Anyone not prohibited from possession period can have any firearm loaded and hidden in private vehicle with no permit required in TN. - OS

Article is wrong on some points however: "It is illegal to purchase a gun across state lines unless the transaction is processed through an FFL in the buyer’s home state": False. You may buy long guns in another state from FFL with background check. Further, in private transactions: - an out of state buyer does not commit a crime until/unless he brings the firearm back into his state of residence. - the seller commits the immediate offense, but only if he knows or has reasonable cause to believe the buyer is an out of state resident, or otherwise prohibited Under federal law, all gun purchases from an FFL must be accompanied by a federal background check. It doesn’t matter if the FFL sells a gun at a retail location, at a gun show, or out of the back of a car in a Wendy’s parking lot. False. An FFL may sell a firearm from his private collection under same conditions as any other person. Further, if sold under the auspices of the FFL license, he may only sell if from his licensed place of business or a gun show in the same state as his license. - OS

Well, maybe:

Well, that's an idea, a tracksuit would certainly be a good "gray man" cover for a big heater in a racquet case. But not enough pockets for the rest of my loadout. The Sub2000, like all rifles, has the same single downside in TN, ie, illegal to carry in general public if you need to leave the chariot with it and walk around. Of course that's just during normal times, wouldn't matter in a meltdown WROL situation. - OS

Yeah, I'll risk my AR pistola as a "truck gun", but never my Marlin 1894 in .357. - OS

There is absolutely no telling where gun laws would be right now without the new and more intractable NRA that has evolved since the AWB. Indeed, if membership falls, that simply means less voter power to hold over the heads of pols nationwide that will support more and more restrictive gun rights. It's amazing what the NRA has been able to influence with only its 5 million or so members currently. Think if there were 25 million. I'm thinking that with the continuing wimpification of America, that 5 mil won't be nearly enough to sway the anti-gun sentiment translating to law (especially federal) ere long. - OS

Flies in the face of the competitive breeding part of evolution, which maintains and enhances the overall viability of a species. Dominant males, by the simple fact they have lived long enough to be dominant, possess the best characteristics to impart back into to the common genome. The fact that both males and females are capable of reproduction very early in their possible life spans found in much of nature does indeed enhance the chances of species longevity in the short run, but competitive breeding is what enhances the viability of that same population in the long run by improving not just the quantity but the quality of that quantity. To a large extent, it's the same with homo sapiens too, but technology resulting from our collective brain power has minimized the superiority gained from competitive breeding and indeed a larger percentage of the population that would not have survived period in the past now remains extant and viable for reproduction. Whether our departure from such basic tenets of nature will prove to be an overall detriment to our species in the long run remains to be seen. /thus endeth deep thoughts regarding the TN shellcracker population. - OS

Yep, echo that. No firearm discharge within city limits, even on private property (or air guns either, no kidding). Can't even have a commercial range in city limits, btw. - OS

Umm, those fish don't screw, ya know -- the males don't milt on the eggs until after the females lay them. So if you take the males before that happens, you are limiting the spawn, not helping it. The actual timing is something you really can't know except maybe to cut into a few females and see if they still have their eggs. - OS

We also now have a law that no state effort is to be expended in enforcing any federal gun law that is not against TN state law. The TICS charge aside, the very fact that we are a primary contact state for the NICS would seem to violate that. Meaning, there is at least one provision on the 4473 that makes one ineligible to possess a firearm that is not a provision under TN law (non violent or druggie felons may possess long guns). - OS
