  1. Those are both nice looking holsters. What position do you wear them?
  2. Much better interface, it seems. Appreciate all the effort you put into this!
  3. His record will hurt him, if they are allowed to bring it up in trial. What was damning in my opinion, is that he started shooting, BEFORE he knew of a gun, and then moved to the front of the car, after he had already started shooting so it sure looks like he wont be able to say he shot in self defense because the guy was using his car as a weapon... In today's political environment, there's little room for benefit of the doubt at all. I suspect soon we wont have LEOs that engage criminals...
  4. I have a couple of the cheapies from Harbor Freight. They look a lot like the one that Ronald_55 mentioned, but i paid almost 20.00 for them. Mine attached via a cable that loops through an attachment point. My vehicle has a series of cargo rings in the back and I currently have it attached to one of those. I am not happy with that though as I have to exit the vehicle to stow the weapon, and Id rather not broadcast to the world what Im doing. My front seats are not high enough though to attach it there. I may look at some kind of inside the console lock or box, eventually.
  5. Cool! Please keep us updated on how this turns out. Good luck.
  6. Methinks he's in for a hard row to hoe with this. I recommend he NOT try to buy a gun yet, until he's 100% positive it is legal. Expungement doesnt necessarily do it. He could be charged with a crime for trying. This document may help, or not: https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/attorneygeneral/documents/ops/2015/op15-75.pdf Will's recommendation, above, to get a lawyer, is sound advice, and GET ONE THAT KNOWS THIS STUFF, NOT JUST ANY LAWYER.
  7. 1 spare mag for my primary and 2 spares for my backup, plus 10 more mags in my bag for the primary. Old habits are hard to break.
  8. Bingo. ThEM, and any other terrorist outfit that is able to get a nuke WILL use it...whether its a ICBM or a rusty freighter or just a bomb hidden in one of our cities...
  9. I dont understand. No on e is saying the wall is a panacea that will solve the problem. But it would help.
  10. No matter how careful you are....sometimes Murphy strikes. Once I was reloading some 9mm rounds back into the magazine and was gonna reload some 380 right after. Dunno how since they are visibly 2 different sizes, but I ended up loading one of the rounds int he wrong magazine...fortunately I caught it before shooting, but I think I didn't catch it until I was reloading the other magazine and the rounds would not fit right...started pulling the rounds back out and saw i has loaded the wrong one in earlier...could have been tragic and I always thought i was too smart for crap like that.
  11. wow! Nice looking gun.
  12. I tend to do it...I have a Shield in 9mm, .380 EZ and a Bodyguard .380. Have a CZ P-09. PO-7 and a P-01.
  13. I was Security Police, now they call them Security Forces. I also retired in 93.
  14. Welcome. Im also retired form the USAF. What career field?
  15. I sure hope so, because I thought this was long settled afg vs full forend grip on AR pistols.
  16. I've got a friend that shoots there regularly and loves it.
  17. Not going to judge here the homeless or the whys, though i have my opinions too. I used to work pretty closely with Operation StandDown Nashville, now they are Operation Stand Down Tennessee. I still donate to them via payroll deduction at http://osdtn.org/ They do good work and try to help the vets more than just with a handout, though they do some of that too. The Nashville Mission is another good one that serves them well. I'd recommend staying out of the camps unless you have to go...
  18. I dont have an opinion yet, like was stated its only been one day...but im also hearing rino comments elsewhere in n on 2nd amendment arenas as well...hope he yirns out to be what we wanted and not a fraud...
  19. Think I have too may 9mm pistols already, so probably wont go after this one. I do love my FNP-45USG though. Shoots anything i put in it, and way better than I do. Even likes that cheap Russian ammo, lol. As I age, though, I find that my fat body just doesnt carry the extra weight these days...New daily carry is my Sig P-365 and the S&W Bodyguard .380. I can carry both of these easier than I carried the FN with extra mags...
  20. I see no good outcome here.!
  21. Im a firm believer in looking at the facts in deadly force cases.
  22. Officer Delke was doing aggressive police work. Thats how good crime fighting works. You cant simply show up after the crime and clean up the mess. If you want to inhibit future crime, you have to aggressively proactive. Most traffic stops are for this reason. Seriously, do you think it really matters that much if one of two license plate lights is out? No, it is because many many times, once the traffic stop is effected for a minor violation, interaction with the occupants reveals reasons for further interaction, often resulting in arrests, and...crime reduction. If this trend keeps up, we will see an increase in crime. LEOs will shy away from being aggressive and who could blame them? I wouldnt be a LEO today and I have retired LEO friends across the nation who say the same thing. In my time we were always told we were held to a higher standard...we accepted that. But these days every single action and reaction that happens in a split, stress filled second is Monday morning quarterbacked and analyzed to the point that the criticism for action is overwhelming. The end result is going to be inaction. Its dangerous enough for LEOs out there now, but this after action over reaction will ruin law enforcement.
  23. I loved England when I was there! I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath, but lived in the local communities before eventually moving onto the airbase. Of course, it was a different England back then...there were 2 BBC and one ITV channels that went off the air fairly early each night...no satelite or cable, and the pubs closed early as well, but i loved England and my English friends. It was a simpler time...fond memories.
  24. Welcome to TGO and to Tennessee! As for an AR... Quick correction, please: AR's are not assault rifles. Assault rifles are usually capable of burst or full auto firing and are made for the military.The modern sporting rifle called an AR made for the civilian population are actually Armalite rifles, based on the original manufactures name I believe. The ones mentioned in earlier posts or most any other flat top would be a good base to start with, adding optics, sights and other accessories as you decide what you need. Where in England are you from? I lived for several years in Suffolk, courtesy of the USAF. My youngest son has dual US/UK citizenship, and while not ALL countries recognize dual citizenship, of those that do, not with all other countries, Im fairly certain both the US and the UK do, in fact allow dual citizenship with each other.
