E4 No More

This “issue” is proof-positive that the past Tennessee legislatures have collectively been the intellectual equivalents of chimpanzees. I came from a state where open carry was fine; concealed carry was a no-no. The idea of having to even unload a long gun in the trunk of your car was preposterous. Now they even allow concealed carry with permit. How long will it take for Tennessee to catch up?

I have on VHS.

Or not!

IMHO, that's not saying much. Clinton did lots of nefarious crap and got re-elected.

I'd imagine that you won't receive a reply from Coleman. I sent him an email several months ago to address these issues, and I never heard anything back from him. I just emailed both him and Tracy ths morning.

Thanks

Who's a good gunsmith in the La Vergne area? I have some Hi Viz sights I need installed on a M&P.

So did Clinton, and even more so.

Those links aren't useful because there's no summary.

WTF?

Maybe it's time to find a girlfriend that believes the same things?

Like everything else, there's a massive loophole that renders it useless: "The bill contains an exception, which would allow law enforcement to seize a gun 'if the officer reasonably believes that it is immediately necessary for the protection of the officer or another individual.'" Another individual could be broadly interpreted by a police officer to mean yourself, someone in your family, your neighbor, or the crook down the street.

I have become dismayed over America's change in attitude. We've gone from a country that says, "Don't tread on me" to a country that says, Don't tread on me, PLEASE!"

Yeah, I forgot about the EMP. It'll get'cha every time. Thanks everyone.

No quarter should be given to anyone who exposes young children in this manner. She should be fired.

Too bad they don't make them for us tall guys.

Whether I know a gun is unloaded or not, I never point one at someone that I don't intend to shoot if they don't stop what they're doing, and I demand the same thing from others. I don't care where I'm at, or what they think they know, if someone's pointing a gun at me I politely and firmly tell them to point the gun elsewhere. I don't plan on becoming the recipient of the "I didn't know it was loaded!" story via inaction on my part.

I'm 48, over 6'3", and around 300 lbs. I like the Smart Carry holster. I wear a lot of warm-up pants and shorts with elastic waistbands, and this holster allows me to carry completely concealed with easy access. My carry is a S&W M&P 9mm sub-compact, but they make them for even 1911's. I've worn this holster comfortably for up to 10 hours. The only drawback to it is having to move it to the side when I piss.

I was thinking of speed, but since there's unanimous advice against them I'll pass. Thanks! So what is the best handgun safe that can be placed on the nightstand, and where's the best place to get it?

Haven't you all heard? It's not the length of the barrel, but the diameter that does the trick.

I saw a biometric gunsafe at On-Target in Murfreesboro, and it got me thinking that it's a good idea: however, I've noticed that On-Target is pretty proud of everything they sale. I don't mind paying for quality, but that doesn't mean that I like to take it up the a$$ either. So I'm looking for recommendations as to which biometric gunsafe to get, and where to get it from. I want the handgun size that I can have on the night stand. Comments?

I about spewed water when I read the latter statement! I'm hoping that the majority of leadership understands that people can patronize an establishment without drinking alcohol. If an incident occurs, the authorities can test for blood alcohol content easy enough. But to state the obvious, common sense is something most politicians don't possess.

Personally, I'm protecting "me and my own", and let the chips fall where they may. If I get sued, then I get sued. I was just debating because it's the way I learn, and I want to know what to expect out of my actions before I pull the trigger. I was a police officer in Missouri before such laws as this existed, but I know how laws are twisted by wording. I also know how legislators go back and forth at each other about the wording...sometimes with the attempt to appear to be on one side or the other. This portion of the law clearly states that it is contingent on the findings of the court. A prosecutor will not waste taxpayer's money and his/her time taking a justifiable homicide case in front of a judge just to rule the way he/she expects the judge to rule just to spare you or me a civil trial. So if his judgement is, (as I expect), not considered a finding of the court, then this law just appears to protect you. I know dang well that it's also not going to protect you in a federal civil suit, but that's another debate. So what I'd like to know is...in Tennessee, is the prosecutor's inaction the same as a finding of the court? I want to know for academic purposes. Edit: For the giggles of it, I've sent an email to my state representative for an answer. I'll post if I get a reply.

I took the class last August.
