I'm going to predict that this will become a cult classic for military vets, especially the Post 9/11 generation.   Past that, I'm unsure and it seems the people who made it couldn't care less.   Here's a behind the scenes video that's pretty cool to see.  Don't let the link put you off, you don't need to log into Facebook to watch it.  It's another NSFW masterpiece that makes me feel right at home. https://www.facebook.com/1037324099634240/videos/1122780104421972/       Watch the end of that link I posted above. :P

I think both of these things should be done anyway (though I'd put the cost of having the State Police at the gun show on the show and not the State Police Department's budget).  But what say ye, TGO?   In exchange, Republicans softened their stances on issues that have long been non-starters in the GOP-controlled General Assembly. Under the deal, the state would take guns away from anyone who was under a two-year protective order for domestic-violence offenses. And State Police would have to attend all gun shows to provide background checks for private sellers if they requested the service.

  Overall it was good, and apporiate, but this part annoyed me: It appears from your unconditioned revocation of reciprocity that a Tennessee resident holding a valid Tennessee permit for a concealed handgun could not even travel across Virginia to visit our nation's Capital without acquiring a nonresident permit from Virginia. Could this be true for Tennessee's Congressional representatives?   As if they're the main concern here.  They all fly to D.C..  None of them drive up I-81 to I-66 and waste 12 hours each way when their office funds cover travel.  They also have reserved parking spots at BNA from what one former staff chief told me.  They usually fly right into Reagan National and get a ride to their office, or just keep a car in their reserved parking spot at the Washington area airports.

Hmmm...might need a few of these. Thanks for sharing.

Almost forgot...Manny's House of Pizza on the first floor of the Arcade in Nashville is pretty good if you don't want a fancy setting.  It's a classic grab and go place.

I'm a fan of Mafiaoza's on 12th Ave. South. The rest of the menu is great too. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk, because I felt that Oh Shoot wanted to know that particular bit of information.

They better keep that on the DL.  If it makes it to social media or god forbid duffel blog, they'll be down at the motorpool painting over it with a fine brush in full battle rattle.

John is good to go for this type of stuff.  The hardest part of the entire process working with him was finding his office, he's that easy to work with.    I'd recommend shooting the MPX a good bit before you decide to SBR it.  I'm sure it's a fine gun, but make sure it's something you love and really want to drop the extra time and money for before going through the SBR process.  I'd also recommend giving some though to the value of turning it into an SBR vs. keeping it as a pistol.  There are some legal reasons why keeping it as a pistol might be advantageous, as with a carry permit you can tote it around a lot more places than a rifle.

  It wasn't an order, it was a request, and a request the open carrier has no reason to acquiescent to.  Watch the second video down in the link (an LEO followed him to another business) and the LEO's flat out said that he told the business owners, "we can't order you to present your...ahh...permit." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=667_1452648888   So, why the issue?  The open carrier was harassed by the LEO's because he dared to open carry a firearm, as he was qualified by his state to do. Respect goes both ways, once they disrespected the carrier, they lost his respect, as they would mine.  I also would have been just as uncooperative as the open carrier were I in his place.

Thrown in walking on a large FOB at night, work railhead detail, and anything else the CSM's decided required one. One JRTC rotation, we had to wear them so often doing prep at North Fort before going into the box, we just kept them in our cargo pockets. Even the driver and ground guide of the Gators had to wear them in the middle of the day.

The Army has you so brainwashed you put a reflective belt on a snowman. :lol:

There is no wrong answer to this conundrum of yours.

Didn't know about the button, not sure I'd trust it 100%. As to a smartphone, yeah they're at risk, but with Android I can put on a crowd vetted OS and still have all the functions since the code is open source. I doubt that's something Amazon is going to allow for this. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk, because I felt that Oh Shoot wanted to know that particular bit of information.

  What Omega said.    I can't think you're going to find some kind of massive quality upgrade over DD, Noveske, BCM, or any other brand you listed as having previously used.

A microphone that's always on and connected to the network...if that's not a privacy invasion waiting to happen, I don't know what is.

  We can agree to disagree on my other posts...but whoever that is you mentioned doesn't hold a candle to Robin Meade- the true hottest journalist in all the land.

  He made a stupid statement.  It's serves no purpose, gives opponents a punchline, and what's worse, since the article said he actually filed the bill, staffers from his office and the clerks of their legislature who all work for the state of South Carolina actually had to spend work time on this statement instead of useful things like I assume people want them to be doing while being funded by their dime.

SC State Rep. Mike Pitts wins the "Stupid of the Day" award for 20 January 2016.  Hard to take anyone who would resort to a sophomoric stunt like that seriously.

  Only thing that's held me back so far has been the price.  Hopefully I can save enough in my piggy bank to afford such an indulgence before long.

Have you looked at the CZ Scorpion?  One of those has been on the 'btq wants' list for a while now.

  I think this is the right approach.  With improvements in technology, the background check process is so easy, it's hard to classify it as an infringement (to me anyway, I know others disagree...that's fine).  Plus it's an easier counter argument when you can say that those carrying in the potentially soon to be opened areas have gone through a background check that anti-gun activists have made the crux of their argument.    What is an infringement is the limitations that our state puts on people that are, by their own admission, safe to carry a firearm.  So, why any restrictions on where we can carry?  Personal and commercial property, I think should be determined by the person owning/running the property (again, I know others disagree).  But why shouldn't a person who passes a background check be allowed to carry inside a government building?  Are we safe by their standards, or not?       The recent issues in Virginia made this something that would have to be thought out.  Of course the Virginia Governor and Attorney General just wanted to limit what states have reciprocity for permit carry, but they actually had a legal reasoning behind it., The reasoning being states they no longer recognized as valid for reciprocity were dropped because they didn't have the same standards as Virginia did for their permit holders.   So, if Tennessee did adopt Constitutional Carry, the permit would still have to have some kind of education/training/testing/background check requirements or else we would be at risk of having more states revoke reciprocity, either automatically or once an opportunistic administration or legislature comes to power.

  Ah yes, the old adage "Allah's eyes don't see over the water."  At least that's how it was explained to me by a Kuwaiti while I was living there a few years back.  Bahrain is a blind spot as well if memory serves. I threw a few back at a Holiday Inn Express myself during an overnight there.

  Arab Muslims drink too, they just keep it a bit more low key.  During OIF 1, I was living at the Mosul water purification plant for a few months with my three man GSR team, and a two man sniper team.  The night before his wedding, a worker at the plant who lived in the village next to the plant came home drunk as a single Soldier in the barracks on Saturday night.  He and I played war with a deck of cards for what felt like an hour as blotto set in on him, then he stumbled home.  Later we learned that he had gone into Mosul and hit up a brothel while getting drunk before the big day.   I like to think of Arabs as the west was in the 1400s/1500s...the overall culture was very conservative and religious, but plenty of the people can be some lecherous drunks when the opportunity presents itself.

  According to this public listing, they consider checking drivers licenses (DL), among other things to be a-okay.  I doubt they would be so blatant about it if they didn't think current and possible case law backs them up.    As to LEO's being able to lie in the course of their duties...that shouldn't be permitted unless an arrest has been made, IMO. 

  Not in my experiences.  I can't recall ever not being asked for my license.
