TGO David

Guys, give it a rest. I'm well aware of the problems. If TGO is down, go outside and enjoy life for a few minutes.

Captain Obvious?

What's up with all of the videos?

9/10 banned members agree.

Yes, I know.

That's the crowd I'm taking with me to Chicago when it comes time to kick some ass over the hosting company over-selling the VPS we're on.

Yep... we're steadily outgrowing the capabilities of our existing web host. I'm looking for alternatives, but when these things happen there's no way I can fix it during the day while I'm at work. Sorry.

FWIW, I do not see where he implied that in his post. Further, if he has a valid carry permit from another state with which Tennessee has reciprocity, he can carry here legally without a TN permit. Please... in the future let's not post hasty conclusions that the mainstream media can use against us.

True indeed. This thread really seems to be poised to go downhill. Since I won't be around later to clean it up, I'm locking it now. The OP should probably take from this thread the fact that TGO's members are a little more analytical than most. If the OP wants to resume discussions on the topic, they should start a new thread with less pissing and moaning, and more details, and design the thread such that it is a productive discussion (of some sort). Barring that, it's probably safe to say that the matter has been discussed sufficiently.

Post what you want it changed to. It will be tonight before I can do it.

Consequences suck.

That should only offend you if you're a showgirl. Now let's see those legs and high kicks.

Successful. That takes care of that little problem.

Testing... the next three lines will be typed as the offending phrase but they should translate out to the proper name of the city, automatically: Memphrica Memphrica Memphrica

Hmmm... I thought we had nipped the silly little conjunction of Memphis and Africa in the bud. I'll see if there's something I can't do about it from a software-perspective, but in the meantime I'd just ignore it. Gun forums aren't exactly known for being politically correct.

Hope you all have an enjoyable evening doing whatever you may be doing. If you're out partying, be safe and drive carefully. If you're just doing your partying at home, don't let the toilet seat hit you in the head. See you all in 2010.

When we move to vB4 this is one of the changes that comes with it.

If you don't want your questions answered, DON'T ASK THEM.

Probably because the vast majority of HCP holders on this site are already fairly well equipped to shoot IDPA or USPSA style events without investing into the gear necessary to shoot precision long-range.

Odd. I just noticed that some of the guys fussing about the State of Tennessee using it's own background check system and charging us $10 for it instead of using the Federal Bureau of Investigation's instant check system are the same folks who tout the 10th Amendment as being a giant middle finger at the Government telling them to stay out of Tennessee's business. Seems like picking and choosing to me.

We should all pool our resources, buy some land and operate it as the TGO Gun Club. (But really... how cool would that be?)

I tried to contact them by email and by phone, several times. No response.

BTW... I'm ignoring some of the other comments made in this thread from people who apparently believe that some sort of Forum Socialism is needed to ensure that TGO is given away freely to the point that it cannot even sustain itself.

Times are tough for everyone right now. Grandfathering people into evolutionary changes made to the site really doesn't make sense for several reasons, but I do want to see you able to keep a roof over your head. I've bumped your account with a 1-month Benefactor subscription. Hopefully in that time you can do what you need to do to make things a little easier on yourself financially.

David, don't we have a law office here in middle TN working as part of your network? I know you and I have spoken privately about you advertising here and you sort of left it hanging. Perhaps we need to resume those talks.
