Oh Shoot

Would mean we've also stiffed everybody else, and thus would begin the big die off of a Great(er) Depression. Probably will happen anyway, though. Those advocating American isolationism would have it, in spades. - OS

Anyplace one can watch hockey replays with everything edited out but the fights? - OS

What is a license examiner? You mean, window clerk at DL station? If so, some of them are wrong a LOT. And so are some class instructors. At any rate, the law says you must get TN HCP within 6 months of becoming resident here, simple as that, so whoever they were, yeah, they were wrong, period. - OS

Guess they'll have to. I think they already blew the overhead on a couple of new inkjets from Amazon at the "print farm". - OS

Goodwill DOES charge sales tax. Just bought handful of books in there today. - OS

Unless this was a long time ago and law has changed since, "they" were wrong. - OS

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't? - OS

I certainly like the price on the Brown Bear stuff, I'll say that. - OS

The tumbling is supposed to happen inside body mass, not in the air. Certainly, a bullet tumbling in flight would be about as accurate as a bottle rocket? - OS

There was absolutely no info on my census that couldn't be found about me in other ways. By almost anyone. My mom and I each got two of them. Plus the notice it was coming. And the notice that it should have arrived. Apparently, each mailing must have cost about $50 each looking at the total budget for this thing. - OS

There is no federal law regarding handgun permits. It would have to be determined by the individual states. Nowhere in TN statutes does it say that you can't have a permit from another state. It only requires that you get one from TN if you are a TN resident. Indeed, MANY people have a second non-resident permit. Quite a few states issue non-resident permits -- Utah is a popular choice, and with one you could carry in Washington state, for example, something you can't do with a TN resident permit. I'd say the OP's IN lifetime permit would be predicated more on IN law than TN law as to whether it's still valid whether he remains IN resident or not. - OS

But hey, they laugh, right? - OS

Yep. I'm SURE that's where I got this blepharitis, from the giant bacterium from afar:

Musing in HypotheticalLand, I've thought I might start with a knife. Worst happens and I'm bound over, my defense is "Well, I could have shot him, ya know?" - OS

Well, no FEDERAL buildings. City/County/State gov. buildings have to post like everybody else. City/county parks are up to each municipality. They must post a compliant sign if carry if forbidden. At least one quirk there, Knoxville (city) is forbidden but doesn't have to post, okay to carry in Knox County parks, though, and you can actually go in and out of city/county on same bike trail. Cool, huh? Well, for now, yeah. No worries, welcome to TN and TGO.- OS

So, for various peculiar reasons, I got a Mini 14 rather than an AR. Just ran the first 100 through it today, yowza! Anyway, being the pedestrian survivalist, I won't have a weapon unless I have a few thousand rounds stashed in that caliber. Sooo, for a stash, thinking of human Armageddon mostly, but I guess possibility of varmint up to deer also (no TWRA), what should I mostly stash? Hollowpoint? Softpoint? Balllistic Point? Plutonium dipped in cyanide? Or just lots of FMJ like our brave lads in uniform, and figure the "tumble" is as wicked as anything? - OS

What's the 60 days? Oh, the TN driver's license? Is that the law, 60 days? Well, you know, TDL is dated when issued, so you still have 6 months after that by law to get the HCP. Might raise an eyebrow if stopped, but all they have to do is check. My advise is go ahead and get the class done soon as convenient, after all you're gonna have to anyway. - OS

As always, it comes down to was it reasonable to think you were in fear of loss of life or serious injury. You make that determination first, the police and the DA make that determination second, and it it doesn't go your way, then a judge/jury make the final determination. I can tell you that even though I'm a fairly large guy, at almost 62, I consider at least serious injury a lot more likely than I used to from anyone bellicose enough to physically go after me. - OS

No, you don't have to surrender your IN permit, at least I've NEVER heard of anyone being required to do that, although somebody once reported that some doofus at the driver's license bureau did try to keep one once. Which of course is wrong, because you NEED the other license until your TN one comes through. See, you get a little break: Handgun Carry Permit Application Requirements (see under Indiana) You still have to take the class, but you only have to pay the $50 renewal fee rather than the $115 first time fee. It's considered a "renewal". Your IN permit and the receipt for the TN one makes you good until you get your TN HCP, and you need to do all this within 6 months of taking residence here. I've never heard of anyone having to "turn in" the other state's permit upon receipt of the TN one. And sure, since it's a lifetime one, I wouldn't want to either. But after the 6 months, especially since you will also be required by law to have a TN driver's license, I wouldn't show the IN one in TN anymore. Whether you could conceivably get into any trouble in other states for showing an IN handgun permit with a TN driver's license, I couldn't say, but I don't believe I would. Actually can't think of any REASON I would even want to do that. edit: well, actually I guess I do, come to think of it -- if you're in a state that accepts IN permit but not TN one. Don't know if there ARE any, though? - OS

Don't forget "Bible study every week". Puhleese. - OS

Might depend on the state. If you were moving TO TN, you'd need to get a TN HCP within six months after taking residency. Your permit from the first state would still be valid until that time, assuming it didn't expire. But I don't think TN requires you to turn in the other permit anywhere. Other states may have different time limits/laws. Does that answer the question? Probably not exactly. - OS

Correct. 'Tosh was first GUI I ever used, but was mainly a DOS whiz on PC. I remember Windows 1.0. Hell, we were on the Internet at UT before there was a Web. I remember back with Mosaic 1.0, the days when a new web site was big news. "Hey, there's 10 of them now, this thing might really catch on!" - OS

Well, the key stroke combos are actually listed in the menus. You know, those drop down categories that are listed across the top of programs? Some Winders things ya do all the time are just quicker with keyboard. Like copy control+c, cut control+x, paste control+v. Etc. - OS

Some say a commercial real estate bubble will soon pop, might be much worse than the residential one initially was. I think that guns, ammo, and survival/camping gear has been the economy's only saving grace for last couple years period. - OS
