Even if all you did was to deliver the gun, the time and gas costs would make it too expensive for anyone to afford. From say Memphis to Kingsport and back would be a two day drive and a whole lot of gas. Way too costly to make any kind of profit.
In the past, some of our members who do travel a lot have volunteered to deliver a gun for a member. But I believe it was for members they personally knew and were friends with. That might be worth looking into.

If the CZ-75 is printing, you have a holster, belt clothing issue. Good gear and dress appropriately will solve your problems.
I's stick with the CZ over any of the choices mentioned.

I can only speak for myself. For 12 years when my sons were growing up, I was a Boy Scout leader. I was also discretely armed. The boys never knew it. My thinking was that these kids are in my charge and I have a duty to protect them. I hope teachers feel the same way.

I dearly love the 1911. But I'm not a fan of the double stack style. Its heavy, bulky and doesn't feel right in my hand.
I do have a Para-Ordnance P-14. But I don't shoot it much. I keep it because my younger son gave it to me and its a commemorative version for his service in Iraq.

I've been saying for years that the education system in this country is extremely liberal biased. Their purpose is to turn out stupid, liberals who's only function is to follow the liberal agenda.

What I keep thinking about is why schools are already saying they are not going to allow armed teachers
Because they're liberal and anti-gun. So they must proudly announce it to the world.

I fear that this is nothing more than feel good legislation. Most local school districts will say no and in the end very few teachers will be armed. Too many hoops to jump through will discourage a lot of teachers from getting the required training. I prefer the idea of allowing enhanced permit holders to carry in schools as the bad guys will never know who is armed.

The politicians could have just legalized K-12 schools and colleges, like Mississippi, for people with an enhanced carry permit but did not.
That would actually make more sense. That way nobody could know who may be armed and in the school at any given time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the local school district have final say if they'll allow their teachers to carry? If so, I doubt it'll happen in any large Democrat controlled city in the state. It'll only happen in smaller school districts who may not have SROs. But one of the main points was that less populated areas may only have a couple of Deputies on duty at any given time.
As I see it, just passing this will act as a deterrent. Nut jobs thinking about shooting up a school will now not know who may be armed and ready to stop them. It could make them rethink their plan.

Most any good defensive load will get the job done. But every gun is different. I suggest you buy several different boxes of quality defense ammo and go to the range. Whatever is most reliable and shoots the best in your gun is what you go with.

The Ed Brown mag exchange program is still going on. That's how I ended up with a bunch of their mags. Basically, you send them your junk 1911 mags and they'll sell you theirs for either $10 or $15 bucks depending on stainless or black nitride.
Over the years I'd collected a whole pile of junker 1911 mags. Sent 'em in and got a brand new mags cheap. Got a bunch of .45s and a few 9mm. Unfortunately, they were out of .38 Super at that time.
But it was still worth it.
So far they've been completely reliable. Good range mags.

But I'll still only use Wilson for carry.

2 dead, 6 injured, one critical.
That's actually kinda light for a Saturday night in Memphis.

Both of my sons started out on Marlin bolt actions. One shot at a time teaches the importance of sight alignment and trigger pull. The Marlins are excellent rifles, tack driver accurate and not too expensive.

I've been shooting 1911s for a lot of years. Even shot IDPA with one for about 12 years. Lots of companies make decent range mags. Metalform makes Colt's factory mags and they're cheaper straight from their website. I traded into a batch of Ed Brown mags a while back and they seem to be good. Mec-Gar is known to make good stuff.
But the only mags I'll use for carry or competition is Wilson Combat. The toughest and most reliable 1911 magazines you can get. They ain't cheap, but they're worth it.

As near as I can tell, its currently in theaters. No date for streaming as of yet or which service it'll be on.
I just don't think I wanna spend money and sit in a theater to see this right now. I'm gonna wait until I see some real reviews from regular folks. I'll still probably wait for it to be on streaming where I can watch it at home.
If you go see it, be sure to tell us what you think.

FREE: concrete Madonna Garden Statue. 36" tall. Its old, dirty and some of the paint needs touching up. However, no chips or cracks. If you want it, all ya gotta do is haul it away. Warning: its heavier than it looks. Just PM me to set a time to pick it up.

I've heard rumors and seen a couple of clips. Unsure if it'll be any good, but I'll probably see it.
If you're interested in that sort of thing, I highly recommend Kurt Schlichter's Kelly Turnbull/People's Republic series of novels. Great stories that could actually happen.

Sad to hear. The Allman Brothers were always a favorite of mine.

I'm concerned about this. I just turned 70 and am thinking it may be time to thin the herd. I have a large collection. My sons will keep some for themselves, but no way they'll want them all. I have been seriously thinking about selling many of them off. First to save them the time and trouble after I'm gone. Secondly, they could use the money much more than the guns. I've even considered getting a table or two at a gun show to expedite the process. According to this, I'm screwed.
And that brings up another question, what about heirs who are needing to sell off an inherited collection? What will they do?

TN_Jim has posted a thread in the Memphis Area Club forum with a time and place. I strongly suggest everybody interested read and reply.
We've been trying to put something together for years. Now's our chance!
-
I'll be there.
Lots of us have been talking about this for several years. Here's your chance!
I'm not sure if I'll do any shooting. I'm much more interested in getting to know other TGO members and talking. But I might bring a few guns just for show and tell. If I have something you'd like to see or even shoot, just let me know.

I know we have a lot of good Christians on this board. Surely one of you would like to have this in your yard.
