Nope, we're actually down in Smyrna. It sounds like this is a pretty widespread problem though. :-\ If I'm tracking you correctly, you're saying that the town's response was to increase the speed limit? Wow.

Easy there, Trigger. You wouldn't tell this guy to stop wearing "club shirts" because only high school kids dress in tight clothes, would you?

Unfortunately I missed the boat on it. Someone needs to re-produce them.

Take your man-card back from your wife and tell her family you'll see then when you get back from shooting. Or just bring them with you.

Smart Tuck, MTAC and Versa-Max are all good options. The Smart Carry (thunderwear, twig n' berries carry) is also a good option.

Must... not... drink coffee... while reading posts like this.

In all seriousness (and an attempt to get back on topic) carrying a handgun ultimately involves a bit of a compromise. You may have to wear a size larger shirt than you normally would, or an over-shirt, or a shirt cut a little looser. This is no different than if pocket-carry was your thing but you traditionally wore ball hugger jeans. That won't work if you're carrying a handgun in your pocket. The bottom line is that you're going to need to make a minor concession in the way you dress in order to provide the sort of cover that you're wanting. It doesn't mean you suddenly have to start wearing Tommy Bahamma shirts.

Careful... Eddie may challenge you to a walk off with a statement like that.

True.dat

If you pass on buying a few new things from Abercrombie, you might.

Despite my attempts at humor, my suggestion of pocket-carry with a small automatic or revolver was the real deal. You seriously might look into that.

Bumping this thread... How many of you who voted are still going to be there? And if you indicated that you will be bringing guests, how many guests? Thanks.

Then you might be set!

Just remember, you should never carry a white handgun after Labor Day. That's when you need to bring out your black handguns.

Your wardrobe requirements are similar to those of most women so it sounds like you will face many of the same challenges that they do. Namely, form fitting shirts vs. carrying off the body in your purse. That being said, I'd seriously recommend you give some thought to a small automatic like the Keltec P3AT or the Ruger LCP... or a small revolver like the Smith & Wesson J-Frame, that you could carry in your front pants pocket. That or embrace the style of wearing bowling shirts or polos that don't show off your heroin-addict physique.

Helpful tips for taking pictures of your lit pumpkins in the dark... #1 - Turn off the flash. #2 - Use a tripod or set your camera on a steady, stable surface. #3 - Use the count-down timer so that you can press the shutter button and then step away from the camera before it snaps the picture. This lessens the chance of you shaking the camera in the slightest as the picture is actually taken. Which is very important for the next tip... #4 - Use a long exposure time! Most cameras have a Tv mode which lets you set the exposure time. An exposure time of 0.8 - 2.5 seconds is typically perfect for this sort of thing. But you have to make sure the camera is rock steady before you do this. A long exposure will magnify any movement of the camera at all, resulting in a blurry photo. #5 - Position the candle inside the pumpkin so that it doesn't create a "hot spot" inside the photo. You want the interior of the pumkin illuminated, but you don't necessarily want the candle flame visible. Refer to the following examples: Bad... GOOD... #6 - Another cool effect is using an external light source of some sort to show other features of the pumpkin even while it is lit. A small candle placed nearby outside the pumpkin can yield some interesting results, like this...

What an insightful post. When I choose a new handgun, I always look for opinionated emotional outbursts from a truck driver before making my decision.

2008 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest Maybe I'm just a big kid at heart, but I am excited to announce the inaugural TGO Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest sponsored by Hero Gear in Winchester, TN. Here's how this will work... Members may submit ONE pumpkin via photo to be judged. Carving design should be related in some way to TGO, firearms, supporting the troops or other form of patriotism.

Submissions must be the member's original work! No copies, no ripping off photos on the Internet. Both daylight and night / dark-room shots must be submitted.

Third Place Winner The owner of the submission receiving the third highest number of votes will receive from Hero Gear one TGO hat. Get busy and let's see some killer pumpkins!!!

Between 3:00 - 4:00 depending on which gun it is. My Glock 19 usually rides right between those two.

You seem to have a little somethin' on your face, Jake. Right there... next to your nose.

The problem is the radio in the phone itself. AT&T is a GSM network. Verizon is a CDMA network. Unless his Verizon Blackberry is one of the "World Phone" models, he won't be able to use it on the AT&T network.

One of our execs just bought an iPhone 8GB model and we activated it for use with our corporate Exchange server. She really likes it and I think the phone is pretty much the cat's pajamas. I'd take one in a heartbeat if Apple ever allows Verizon to carry them. Her experience with the AT&T network has been good so far and we've received no complaints about dropped calls. Bear in mind this is in Davidson Co. so I am sure the tower coverage is really, really good. I have no idea what it would be like down near you.

Ooo... new event! Ten paces, turn and fire!

The beauty of forums is that almost anything we post can turn into a discussion of amazing proportions.

Changes have been made. For everyone else's benefit, Quarterbore is the author of the vbClassified software and has been corresponding with me on his support forum regarding this issue. I'm grateful to have him here helping with this.
