It's a shame that this didn't come together. Anyone who lives nearby and gets a chance to do one of these should take the opportunity. It may not sound like "fun" but it's not going to be fun if/when you ever really need to survive on your own in the elements either. It's better to know how to ahead of time.

No, your permit is no longer valid as you are not a resident of Tennessee now. However you might qualify for an expedited AL permit by "trading in" your TN permit similar to how you can trade in an out of state permit in TN and bypass the class requirement.

Can I buy it from you the following week?

My experience with Outpost is that both Butch (the manager) and Chris B. himself (the owner) want to know if you haven't had satisfactory service because of someone behind the counter. As long as your complaint is legitimate they will make a change to improve the situation, either by having a heart to heart with the individual or by releasing them to go find gainful employment somewhere else. I'm not just fluffing their skirt because they are a vendor here. Chris is a good guy and his heart is in the right place. This shop is one of his babies and he takes it very, very seriously. I personally know of two individuals who no longer work there because they were not good for the business.

I'd have either explained my request a little more clearly (sometimes counter monkeys don't always process what you said) or I would have asked for the manager on duty. I try really hard not to let counter staff deter me from making a purchase. Sometimes they are just minimum wage workers who could just as easily be flipping burgers at the local McDonald's. If management refused or further explanation yielded the same dumb blank stare, then I'd have left. My own experience at Outpost has been overall very positive, but I've had one or two instances where I had to deal with some newbie yutz at the counter that left me shaking my head. Usually alerting the manager to that later ends up in the newbie yutz being replaced with someone else. They don't tolerate that sort of nonsense from their people.

SQUIRREL!!!

I wouldn't use a Star for anything more than a drop gun. YMMV.

Yes. It's over near the Publix shopping center.

OK so here's the deal: I and several others have decided to get one last shoot in before the year ends, so we are meeting up tomorrow, Friday, December 31st for a trip to the CHMR range in Spring Hill. If you want to eat lunch with us before shooting, be at the Burger King in Spring Hill at 11:30am. After that, be at the old Owl Hollow Gun Club range (CHMR now) at 12:30'ish. We'll wait until 12:00 noon at the restaurant but if no one else shows up, we're out of there and heading for the range early. I will wear a TGO hat to make it easy to spot me. I figure we'll shoot until about 2:00p ...or so and then I personally will be cutting out and heading home to get ready for the evening's activities. If you need directions to the range: CHMR RSVP if you think you'll be there.

Not old. Not my pic. Someone snapped that in a grocery store magazine section.

Not a photoshop. Sadly real. Immensely retarded.

A splash of water or a little ice melting opens up certain spirits a bit and lets you taste aspects of them that you otherwise would miss. The value of adding a splash depends greatly on the bourbon / whisky and of course personal preference. There are some that I like a little water in, there are others I wouldn't dream of it. On another note... Picked up another bottle of Maker's 46 tonight to have on hand after our current fifth is done. We're in no hurry on either; it's just nice to have more.

But no one conducts a test to make sure you are responsible enough to exercise your other Constitutional freedoms. Careless words issued under the auspices of "freedom of speech" have destroyed many a person's life too. And frequently at a much slower, much more painful, completely cruel pace. Unlike the relatively swift destruction rendered by a well placed bullet.

I chose the Lorcin.

Yes, they trolled TGO under a fake account and acted all secret squirrel about it. /thread

Can't imagine they wouldn't have it. Just ask them at the counter.

Apparently I missed the memo on these. Woodford Reserve is ok, but Jefferson's Reserve Very Old Small Batch is infinitely better.

I've been thinking about fireworks as well.

My condolences to you and yours.

I think I may go shooting during the day as long as the weather cooperates. That night, I'm not sure what we're going to do. I'm sure it will involve friends and family as always. What about you?

If I was going to carry an 8-rd .45ACP it would be a 1911. I really don't have any issues with the length of the grip affecting concealment, and the grip is really no longer than that of say a Glock 19. Ten rounds of .45ACP in a thin double-stack modern fighting pistol? Win.

Thanks man. I'm upright and mobile but that pinched nerve is still there and makes itself known every chance it gets. I think the only cure for it is going to be plenty of exercise and losing about 25 lbs to take some of the strain off.

Gotta watch out for those gun toting grandmothers!
