TGO David

Go ahead and take the plunge. It's not like you've exactly been a private individual here on TGO, after all. That horse isn't just out of the barn; he's in Cancun doing lines of blow off the backs of dead hookers by now.

Apparently this member was a previously banned troll. Looks like the moderators sniped him pretty quickly.

That article reads like a story-line from Justified. Wow.

The same can be said for most of us here. Kirk's welcome to voice his opinion as much as anyone else is. We just ask that folks do it respectfully and attack the issues, not each other.

There's no need for this to turn into a pile-up with a bunch of comments being made that are irrelevant to the original post. Supporting vendor or not. I'd suggest that the OP contact Butch, the manager at The Outpost, and ask again. If they decline, it's not unreasonable to ask for an explanation nor is it unreasonable for them to refuse to give one. How they choose to allow their property to be used is their prerogative, and for some businesses sometimes it simply boils down to maintaining brand identity within the establishment. Not saying this is the case here, but I do know that they work very hard to present a certain caliber of "image" all the way down to their business cards. They may simply not want playbills hanging all over the place. Just call and ask. It never hurts. The person your wife spoke with may not have been a decision maker and just gave a party line. Closing thread.

Most firearms retailers, including those you find at gun shows, are pricing their bread and butter firearms (Glocks, M&Ps, etc.) with minimal markup in order to stay competitive with each other and with the online retailers such as Bud's. The days of haggling for a deal are almost over and rightfully so. Those guys have to make money to put food on the tables and keep their lights on.

Agreed. I'd also wager that the vast majority of cyclists own at least one car, many probably have more than that. They pay their wheel taxes, just not on their bicycles. Should pedestrians be forced to get walking permits and pay a "shoe tax" before they are allowed to walk down city streets?

DaveTN - check your PM's and tone it down.

All this talk about "rights" and how they pertain to the roadways just makes me shake my head in disbelief. Roadways are city/state/federal property depending on where we're talking about. Citizens are afforded the privilege of being able to use roadways provided they observe certain laws and, in some cases, restrictions on what types of vehicles may be operated upon them and how. Speed limits are proof of this. Bicycles and such being restricted from Interstate highways are proof of this. Nowhere in the books does it say that a motorist on a secondary road is guaranteed the convenience of a higher rate of speed without impediment by a cyclist also on the road. However that cyclist does have certain legal protection against being crowded by a motor vehicle and legal protection against being assaulted by a motorist who is too impatient to slow down and give them the minimum 3-ft berth when passing. If you encounter a cyclist while in a no-passing zone, you can either suck it up and drive patiently behind them, or you can wait and pass [illegally perhaps] when it is safe to do so and assume all risks associated with that act, or you can just not drive your car since you're too much of a self-important dick to share the road with everyone else on it. Seriously, folks... the choices are pretty simple.

Agreed! I'll be stopping by the store tomorrow to find a bottle of this. Thanks for stopping in to speak with us, Wes!

Brake checking a law enforcement officer... brilliant tactic.

Detectives don't try cases, though.

Glock 19: Warren Tactical sights. Wolff guide rod and 15lb spring (Tnx, Todd!) Vicker's mag release Other than that, I've shot the finish off of it.

It's time to move.

Looks like your friend may be getting charges filed against him by the DA for shooting at these jokers after the threat was over: My brother was robbed at gunpoint. Reddit, can you help please? : AskReddit

1. Bone up on your understanding of the law in TN so that the opinion of morons doesn't bother you. 2. Carry where legally allowed. 3. Profit.

Owl Hollow is still there however the OHGC was kicked to the curb and the land owner now runs it as the Charlie Hafner Memorial Range and it's a much better facility without the club's nonsense.

Haven't seen this one before.

I've read recently that the Sequoia is likely going to be cancelled in the next 1-2 years, tops, and that the name will go to a crossover platform if it is maintained at all. This doesn't mean it is a bad vehicle, just that if you're the kind who keeps cars for more than 6-8 years, parts for it may become a little more expensive and harder to come by down the road.

Of course, man. Hits mighty close to home.

Brian, you're a big enough guy and have done enough physical labor in your life (wrenching on your cars, firefighting, etc.) that you're not going to have to worry about recoil on anything but the most potent of handgun calibers. Trust me on this. I'd skip the .380 unless physical size is a limiting factor on how you intend to carry it (i.e. in your back pocket) and go with either a sub-compact 9mm or a .38spl revolver. You're welcome to shoot anything I have at the range sometime, but I imagine you'll end up buying before we could get together. FWIW, I have a Bersa .380 and while there is nothing particularly wrong with it, there is nothing particularly right about it either IMO. It's heavy and too large for the round it carries, and it suffers from less than stellar magazine capacity. There are too many other handguns of the same general size that carry more rounds and more potent rounds for me to use it as anything other than a subject of derision. I'd skip it and look at the LCP or better yet the LC9 if you like Ruger's sub-compact size and shape.
