Facebook has been, for me:   1) a great gig getter, being self-employed. I have made some really good connections that have been an income boost.  :up:   2) a great place for getting the price I want for firearms. Folks don't hover like vultures waiting for death there.  :cool:   3) a fun place to find out how far off the idiot shelf some of my real-life friends have fallen.  :rofl:

Not a CHANCE of accidental decocking. You have to push really hard on those buttons. It is NOT an easy task. It's a S&W P99 clone. Very good design, really. (Heck.. I'm talking MYSELF into looking into another one! lol!)

With all due respect, we are talking about the TN State Constitution, NOT the Constitution of the United States. Obviously, on the local level, our founders thought this was best for the state. As you continue to defer to the founders of the Union, I shall defer to the fathers of our state.

Maybe THIS will help clarify why a NO vote on two is a good idea. Note the permanent language change to Article VI, Section 3 that will FOREVER REMOVE our voice in these matters.   http://ballotpedia.org/Tennessee_Judicial_Selection,_Amendment_2_%282014%29

I had the TP9 version. It was decent; except the rear sight had more moves than a Deja Vu stripper. POA/POI changed with every shot. Within 10 feet, it was deadly, which is what you're gonna need. But I just felt that it wasn't worth fooling with.

Nope. lol

Kinda sorta have a 9mm cousin in the PC9...

The "smart TV's" are the ones that can watch YOU, too.   Just sayin'.   :tinfoil:

I guess I'm exhausted. Care to elaborate?

NO on 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgqDAqtr9Xo

I have a Ruger SR45 and a Glock 36. Neither have ever had a problem. I think it's just the magic of the .45 round.

Friend of mine has one. The wood is really pretty, and the ammo is (today's) inexpensive. He had a few mag related hiccups at first. If you want an M1 feel without ammo availability issues and just to have fun, it's an ok option.

#1-Yay #2-Nay (if the Republican phucksticks; Thompson, Haslam, etc., are for it, it's BAD) #3-Yay #4-haven't decided yet

Ok, I asked a friend of mine that is very connected. Here, at length, is some clarification: -------------------------------- Yes I believe I can help.  1.) The current system of gubernatorial judicial appointments "beyond the unexpired term," is unconstitutional. Article VII Section 5  The principal issue surrounding Amendment 2 is whether Judges of the Supreme Court, and the intermediate appellate Courts (29 judges), should be appointed by the Governor or elected in "contested elections," (running against an opponent) like it says to do in the TN Constitution. currently Article VI Sections 3. ["The Judges of the Supreme Court shall be "elected by the qualified voters of the State..."] --- This is language they are proposing to DELETE. 2.) The system where the Governor has appointed one of 3 Nominees is known as the (unconstitutional) "Retention-election Statue", which is at the core of this controversy.  However, that nominating system which was sunsetted (terminated) by members of the Legislature this past year, resulted in the bizarre appointment of 2 of the five Supreme Court judge, Bivens and Kirby, who bypassed this past August judicial election altogether. Get it? They BYPASSED the Election... and this is the USA. 3.) While the proposed Amendment 2 has a provision for approval by both Houses of the Legislature, there is NO mandatory system for vetting the Governor's candidates and so... long after the appointees are lobbied through the Legislature, subjecting the 132 members of the General Assembly to any large special interest financed Lobbying, the People, with a duration as long as 8 years, will get an opportunity to have an UNCONTESTED (no opposition candidate) -(means no equal incentive to dissent), "Retention-Election" (retain/replace), public-referendum on that incumbent gubernatorial appointee.  If, as has happened ONE time (Penny White) in the past 43 years (after some 1200 judicial years on the bench), during these unconstitutional retention-elections, the judicial appointee is ultimately rejected by the voters, the Governor is then to free to appoint his/her next uncontested Judge and we'll begin the entire process again. In the final analysis it is fair to say that there is NOTHING, resembling public accountability remaining under this proposed Amendment's system.  In essence the People will be PERMANENTLY surrendering their Right to Vote for the judges of the State's highest Courts.  That is why I am recommending Vote No on 2, and retain our right to vote for the Judges who judge us. I hope that helps -tg

NO on 2. Yes removes our vote. Vote NO on 2.

Well... today they came out for NO on 2. Unusually conservative of them.

Thanks!

Sam Hoster in Gallatin. 206-0075. Tell him I told you to call.

Had one. Only issue was lack of a holster. I couldn't find one. I have felt several of them; the triggers vary. Some are as good as the PPQ, some aren't even close. It's one of those "in hand before you buy" pistols. And when you get a good one, GRAB it. Don't take another one.

Had a guy one night after a recording session, in the back alley behind the studio... he showed his off to everyone, and he fired it... hit the streetlight, and the light fell on Sprigg's one day old Mercedes... too good.

I had one. It was great fun, until it blew up, lol. Never bothered with one again.

The current TICS software automatically fills in your SSN. It uses your TNDL number to identify you. Everything autofills after that.   There are 5 gals working the forms, and they are doing on average 1600 a DAY. By the end of the year, every shop is to have a computer terminal where the customer enters the info themselves. Curious to see how that's going to go...

I didn't want to give it away...
