I hope you have better luck than I did. I never found anyone while I lived in Nashville.

The big problem with this kind of advice is that after you acquiesce, you're still a witness to a felony. Are you willing to bet your life that the felon won't decide to eliminate witnesses? Horrifying Security Camera Footage Shows Robber ‘Executed’ A ‘Very Gracious’ Store Clerk: Police | The Daily Wire And who knows? Maybe the poor Brentwood couple was just as compliant and non-threatening as this store clerk. There are plenty of videos online showing people in cars resisting criminal vermin; some with guns, some with hands, and some with their vehicles themselves. Running over a criminal miscreant can be an extremely effective deterrent. You rammed your garage door running over the robber? Well, you're still alive to call for repairs. I have no inside information into this Brentwood event, and perhaps there really was no recourse other than to submit to the killers. But planning to surrender, which is what this "expert" is advising, seems like a really poor choice to me. Saddened, Whisper

So, you didn't get your P229 a new upper for Christmas. But Valentine's Day is coming. Thanks for looking, Whisper

There's a lot of problems in our nation and state, but lack of adequate taxation isn't on the list. I know it's popular in some circles to moan and wail about how everything is going to hell, but for anyone who is willing to consider an alternative view, I recommend "The Better Angels of Our Nature," by Steven Pinker. Happy New Year, Whisper

Don't forget -- your P229 might be wanting a new upper for Christmas. There's still time.... Cheers, Whisper

Do you mean it was your first car with AC? Pontiac offered AC in some models beginning in 1954. A few top-line Packards had it several years before then. Cheers, Whisper

Yes, sorry to leave out that bit of useful info.

Brand new in box -- complete upper for 9mm Sig P229, with slide and all internal parts, barrel, and recoil assembly, plus new magazine. Will also fit the M11-A1. Never mounted on a pistol frame. I bought this because I was planning to have it cut for a red-dot sight and then have two uppers for my Sig, but I've moved on to another project and am letting this go.

Agreed. Once you've used a good spotting scope and understand what one is, the POS Walmart versions won't suffice any more. Cheers, Whisper

I can offer a couple of reasons: 1. The lt. governor (elected by the General Assembly, and not by the citizens) controls which bills get a floor vote in the Senate. You'd need a pro-RKBA lt. governor for any pro-RKBA bills to get a fair shake. 2. RKBA is not an important issue for many Republicans in the General Assembly. Cheers, Whisper

I carry the brown version of this light and have for a few years. It's an excellent light, great size for pocket carry. I thought I'd lost mine a few weeks ago and was getting ready to order another one just like it when it showed up in the clothes hamper. One note -- not a criticism; just something for users to know -- is that the light doesn't get noticeably dimmer as the battery power wanes; it just reaches a point where it won't come on again. So you don't get much warning that it's time to recharge. Any time you're planning an extended use session -- say a nighttime fishing trip or hunt -- you might want to charge it fully beforehand. But, like I said, a great light. HTH, Whisper

Remington with a Cutts compensator is my read on this, too. But it's a little hard to tell since the guy gave you a poor-quality photo from the worst possible angle. Cheers, Whisper

Cool gun. The serial number chart I use says that this serial number belongs to a 1934 PPK, but the gun in your photo is clearly a PP, and there are some disagreements among the various SN listings of Walthers up through WW2. What a nice heater. Wish I could afford it. Cheers, Whisper

We will never again see 2017 ammo prices -- I was paying as low as $169 a case for Blazer Brass 9mm from Target Sports USA -- but prices do seem to have declined a bit. Probably a good idea to buy at much as possible during the next two years. Prices will rise again in anticipation of the '24 election. Stack it deep, Whisper

Another bump. Surely someone wants to give this to themselves for Christmas. Check those trade options, you have one of those lying around neglected, don't you? Thanks for looking, Whisper

Black Friday bump. Christmas will be here before long. Wouldn't this be nice wrapped up under the tree? Cheers, Whisper

Glad to have you here. Cheers, Whisper

Welcome. You chose a great state and a great gun forum. Cheers, Whisper

It had its good moments and its bad. I quit watching it twice but came back both times. The last season was an improvement over the previous couple, but the final episode was only fair, I thought. I kept wanting Maggie to hang Negan, but never got to see that. Cheers, Whisper

Just to be clear, because the guns look the same -- this is an original CCP, and not the later CCP M2? Thanks, Whisper

Welcome; I'm a newcomer to Chattanooga myself, although I relocated from elsewhere in the state and not from the People's Republic of California. Hope you open up a gun store here. Cheers, Whisper

This is a fine gun at a fair price, and if I didn't already have more J frames than I could easily count, I'd be on this. Someone needs to give this .38 a loving home for Christmas. Cheers, Whisper

My wife loves Christmas even more than I do and last year she put up the tree before Thanksgiving, and nothing bad happened. This year we're in a new house and we have room for two trees, and they're both up already. Outside decorations probably going up in the next few days. I understand that some see the holiday as a commercialized greedfest. We choose to see it as a celebration of friends and family, an opportunity to reflect on the many gifts we have been given from above, and a time for fond recollection of Christmases past. Plus, some years I get a new gun. Life is good and we are richly blessed. Cheers, Whisper

I'll bump it again. New trade options added. Thanks for looking, Whisper

Unfortunately, Bowen Classic Arms stopped work on S&W projects in 2016. They do sell Rough Country rear sights and DX front sight blades for S&W revolvers. Whisper
