Oh Shoot

  "Murderabilia" sells, the more famous the folks involved the higher the price.   - OS

Got a new Victory myself about a week ago, just got to shoot it today. In short, all aces. Very nice light trigger, I like the weight, balances fine for me. Biggest plus, shot everything I ran through it, different flavors/weights from CCI MiniMag, CCI Quiet Standard, Win Subsonic, Blazer, Federal bulk, Federal Match, Aguila, American Eagle, and even the older Rem Golden Bullets. It even ran perfectly with random mixes of them in the mags. Totally impressed. I never bought a Ruger MarkX or 22/45 just because of the hassle of disassembly mainly, was always enough to deter me, so really only have ever had an old HR revolver and a Beretta NEOS, which ain't really bad, but certainly not all that or anything, certainly never 100% with all ammo by far. Now, the irony: whole thing breaks down with just the removal of one 1/8" hex screw, but I couldn't get that one frigging screw out! Seriously, some gorilla put it together with a damn air powered impact wrench or something. It just twisted the Allen wrench that came with it plus even a heftier one I tried. I had to find a socket wrench driven Allen bit to break it loose the first time! Geez. - OS

I mean, a good serviceable AR under $450 shipped, and it's the midrange stuff, not even PTAC. Upper ain't even a blem. Just need a rear sight and a mag. - OS

  Yep, that's very much a lib point of view -- free speech, as long as it agrees with mine.   - OS

  Better read 39-11-622 a little closer. You are not immune from a civil suit unless the shoot was adjudicated as justified by a court. Meaning, simply not being charged for the shoot doesn't get you off that hook. You are "immune" from liability, but you have to win that immunity in court.   - OS   edit: MonkeyLizard on the quick draw!

  Guard probably doesn't know his gang tats, or it was some dummie who dubbed himself one. I doubt seriously there are any true white sanctioned Bloods, or even PRs or other Hispanics.   Local news 10 this very night just had story on the gangs in Knoxville Area, said Aryan Nations is the largest. And they don't let in no blacks, no matter how thuggish they are. :)   Here's the vid coverage:   http://www.wbir.com/news/white-supremacist-gangs-in-knox-county/183074367   - OS

  You're gonna work on it without even shooting  it first to confirm the prob?   - OS

  Dunno. Neither one has been truly tested -- with the guns themselves!  And remember, the state LEOs ain't supposed to get involved, unless they side with the citizenry!   - OS

  No, the three year suspension is for being deemed also under the influence there, not for the one drop.   - OS

  TCA 4-54-101   http://law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/2010/title-4/chapter-54   - OS

  Top of my head:   - Non-violent non-drug related felons may possess long guns   - Many federal AOW prohibitions are not unlawful   - Firearms may fire two shots with single trigger pull   - The entire 4473 process not a requirement to purchase under state law, some of the banned classifications of persons on it are not banned by state law, nor is lying on it a state crime.   - Not to mention manufacture or possession of any firearm covered by the TN Firearm Freedom Act.   Probably any number of other examples exist too.     - OS

  No but it does have to occur there to incur the additional penalty of losing your HCP for three years instead of just the one for a Class A meanor conviction.   - OS

  Nope.   Illegal to drink in public establishment while carrying. One penalty.   IF ALSO under the influence, a separate offense, additional penalty.   Ergo, you can be culpable for the first condition but not for being under the influence.   - OS

TN has a law that would specifically prohibit that, at least as far as state LEA, unless the focus of the federal investigation also were a violation of TN state law.   - OS

  Clear huh?   Again, 39-17-1321 makes a distinction between a permit holder drinking in a public establishment and being under the influence there, with separate penalties for each situation. If the intent of the statute was that simply drinking any alcohol at all was sufficient to be under the influence, there would be no need for the "if" in relation to the being under the influence part.   - OS

  My comment was not to "justify" it, only that TCA does not prohibit drinking and firearm possession per se, only that you can't drink at all in an establishment that sells booze for onsite consumption while packing.   As per Dave's post, other than that, it's a gray area call regarding being "under the influence". And note that even the drinking in the public establishment part makes a distinction between doing that at all and being under the influence while doing it, which garners an additional penalty.   - OS

  Well, that wouldn't be exactly correct according to TCA either.   - OS

PM 9 and CM9 are different enough that the precisely molded Kydex holster for the PM doesn't work on the CM. - OS

  It simply makes it clear that a biz that allows you to carry your gun can't be held liable when you shoot the joint up. :)   Seriously, really the opposite of original intent of the bill, where if you were disallowed to pack, biz could be held liable if a baddie hurt you.   - OS

  That's the only interpretation I grok from it.   - OS

  Yep.

  Nope.     Nope, you didn't get what you wanted.     Nope.   Didn't anyone read Garufa's post, and look at what actually passed?   It doesn't copy/paste nicely for me, and I don't have time to clean it up afterward, but again, THIS is what the guv signed:   http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/109/Amend/SA0692.pdf   - OS

  6 months.   The entire HCP system is predicated in the statute on "any resident of Tennessee" or a "non-resident employed in this state on a regular basis" ("gainfully employed in this state for at least thirty (30) hours a week for six (6) consecutive months not counting any absence from employment caused by the employee's use of sick leave, annual leave, administrative leave or compensatory time").   So seems obvious to me that becoming a resident of another state would nuke your TN lifetime permit, at least by the intent of the statute,  since it says "A lifetime handgun carry permit shall not expire and shall continue to be valid for the life of the permit holder unless the permit holder no longer meets the requirements of this section", which would necessitate being in one of the two classifications mentioned above.  I assume that the periodic background check for it would reveal your new address and flag it, but who knows for sure.   - OS

  That's what he told his mom on last episode of the season too.   - OS

  The thing that's pretty much universally true is simply that trucking companies do not allow their drivers to carry by policy, which includes owner operators leased to them. So for that part, it's simple -- don't tell and hide well.   - OS
