I'm not sure where to start but I'm frankly a bit shocked and appalled that one of our own is so willing to lay down and surrender territory so easily. First of all, I never said that we would be mixing firearms and alcohol at this event. Second of all, I never said that I advocate people drinking and carrying. And thirdly, it's this "path of least resistance" mentality that has cost us so dearly in terms of ground ceded to the antis in years past. It's clearly your prerogative to sit out a protest like this, but if we as gun owners don't take the fight back to the street and show the rest of the world that we're not all bitter, reclusive wack-jobs holed up in our neo-nazi bunkers but rather moms, dads, teachers, doctors, lawyers, factory workers, softball coaches, pastors... their next door neighbors... then we might as just sit back passively and wait for them to legislate us out of existence. The choice is yours. My choice is to fight.

Actually there's more or less a precedent for that now as I understand it. But that's a topic for another thread.

You're a dick.

From the Clarksville's The Leaf Chronicle. So I am curious. How many of you would participate in a lawful, peacful protest in front of the Hillsboro Village location of Boscos restaurant following the presumed Tennessee House & Senate override of Governor Bredesen's veto? Here is what I am thinking: We would do this on public property, such as the sidewalk or roadside. We would do NOTHING to block or otherwise make it difficult for patrons of Boscos to enter or exit their property. We would just be there to peacefully and unobtrusively protest the manager's decision. We would hand out flyers to any interested party including a summary of HB0962, why we believe it makes good law. Also it would include a copy of the statement from the Boscos management (see above) and explain why we are protesting them. We would all dress nicely (i.e. no camo, no t-shirts with controversial or profane slogans or logos) and look the part of the responsible gun-owning Average Americans that we are. Our picket signs would all use proper spelling and grammar so that we don't look like uneducated morons. Optionally, we would wear EMPTY holsters as a show of being rendered defenseless by the management's decision to forbid us legal carry under the new law. I would contact the Steve Gill show by US mail, email and phone call asking them to come out and cover the protest and give the cause a little radio exposure. We would also have our own people video-tape the entire thing for submission to Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly or anyone else who wants to air it. Especially useful if some anti-2A people get nasty with us. The goals of this would be to: Put these restaurant owners on notice that not only will they lose our business as pro-personal protection consumers, but they will also have unwanted attention drawn to their practice. Inspire restaurant owners to reconsider their decisions and remove their individual ban on being able to protect ourselves while dining in their establishments. By dressing nicely, having intelligently worded signs and flyers, and conducting ourselves peacefully and with tact and decorum, show that gun owners are not all neanderthal redneck backwoods hicks as the media paints us so broadly. If successful, this model can be employed again and again as needed across the state. Thoughts?

How many of them are off the radar?

A complete non-starter.

A rifle will probably be next. I'll give you a shout when the time comes.

Thanks for the input?

NASCAR uniforms!!!

The plan is outdoors, probably under a large tent. I'd say dress would be casual. We're still working out the details so stay tuned to this forum.

Hit me up with a PM and we'll work out the details.

Among other things, I ordered the "As It Should Be" package from Brian that includes the Strong Mount and the roller handle. No case feeder since it only works for handgun brass and not rifle brass. No low powder alarm either, for the same reason that you stated.

Right now JHatmaker is first in line. If someting there doesn't go down as planned, I'll move on to the next taker.

I just ordered mine from Brian Enos @ Brian Enos - Competition Shooting Books, Slide-Glide, DVDs & Reloading Free shipping, no tax, plus Brian is a world-class competitive shooter and KNOWS his stuff and is more than happy to discuss all of the options with you on the phone and help you make the right decision. Highly recommended.

You can't go wrong with Gold Dots. Hornady TAP on the other hand... meh. The ballistics reports I've seen of TAP are pretty unimpressive. It's a lukewarm performer at best. Sadly I have a lot of TAP ammo in my stash. I need to shoot it up and replace it with better ammo.

You could always take a tour of the capitol and poop on his desk.

Just ordered my Dillon 550B reloading press with .45ACP dies and all the fixins from Brian Enos (Brian Enos - Competition Shooting Books, Slide-Glide, DVDs & Reloading). Had the pleasure of speaking with Brian on the phone this afternoon and he talked me out of the more expensive 650 XL and into the 550B which saved me about $400. It's rare these days to find someone who is willing to talk you out of a higher dollar sale, but Brian clearly is interested in helping his customers make smart decisions more so than making a buck. I highly recommend anyone interested in a Dillon setup give Brian a shot at your business.

Heck yeah! Your 92 seems to have a protrusion.

Nicely done on the ambidextrous safety. Who's is it?

Has he managed to get his son dried out yet, or is the yute still out drinking and driving?

Titanium wouldn't be a problem but it's going to be fairly light gray. Have you looked at their Mortar color?

I'm afraid that if we took the "little reminders" and "less effort" route we'd be encroaching on TFA territory.

Just tell me what color you want. I get it direct from Lauer Custom Weaponry.

Blah blah blah. Less whining about the Man keeping you down and more backing up your bravado in the other thread. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/287091-post7.html

I'd be open to that if you don't mind stripping it down completely.
