TGO David

I will try to put those features back into place. Give me a bit to accomplish this, though.

This is the thread to use to discuss the new vBulletin forum software. If you missed the announcement, you can read it here.

I'm around still. When I'm at the office, I'm being owned by work which has absolutely brought a lot of my "recreational" stuff to a grinding halt during the week days. After hours, I'm in the middle of some household renovations and "life renovations"; both of which have taken the rest of my time. January - March are almost always this way for me at the office. It's when I have my window of opportunity to lay the groundwork for all of the other projects that I will work on for the remainder of the year. So, it's an annual cycle. You guys just missed it last year because we were all so new here on TGO. Thanks for wondering. I appreciate the concern.

I took Ken Po for the first two years after I moved to Nashville. I enjoyed it, but work and life got in the way so I had to give it up. I've read up on Krav Maga and would love to get involved in something like that, but apparently no one is authorized to run a school in Nashville yet and I really don't feel like driving to Memphis for classes. I've lost a little over 60lbs in the past 6 months and am steadily working my way back down to my target weight. Doing that has made it a lot easier for me to get back into cardio and strength training, so naturally I keep wanting to get back into something like this.

Please see above.

When I moved here from Kentucky, I quickly learned that the last part of Peyton's name is actually H. Christ ... or at least you'd think so by the way some of the Vols fans act.

I had a 3x9x40 on my .30-06 a few years ago and it wouldn't hold zero to save it's life. I replaced it with a Nikon Monarch and never looked back. You usually do get what you pay for when it comes to optics.

Eli must be adopted as he bucked family tradition and didn't choke in the playoffs. Last year was definitely a fluke for Peyton.

Hell yes!!! I put 200 more through mine tonight.

It sounds like the situation was handled very well. Your answer was succinct and professional, and it sounds like you played it down like it was no big deal... which is exactly what it is. It's no big deal at all. Law abiding citizens legally carry guns for their own protection and the protection of those around them. It's a normal thing.

Abroad generally refers to somewhere other than the United States.

The things you're attributing to Danny Dunn were my ideas as I outlined in previous posts here. I spent a lot of time at the meetings and afterward writing down the things you're saying no one wrote down, and still have a legal pad full of them. I'd be glad to forward you my notes if you want them. It really doesn't matter; I'm just pointing out that I tried to invest into this organization to no avail. My energy seems to be best directed into continuing to make TGO a place for folks to meet without concern for schedules.

Just so there's no misunderstanding and so that you know what you're dealing with... I'm sitting this out. I was pretty gung-ho to see the Nashville chapter be revived but having seen countless iterations of the meetings being canceled, back on again, no - canceled, whoops back on again... I'm just done with it. I only have so many hours of free time and I detest having it wasted or having my schedule jerked around. So far, both of those are things that I can with a clear conscience accuse the Nashville chapter of doing. If the chapter gets traction and does something productive with the meeting times, I will re-evaluate my personal stance on it and possibly attend again. Otherwise, TGO is where you'll find me putting my energy. Again, good luck. You have a very uphill battle ahead of you.

In order of nice indoor ranges to shoot at locally... #1 - Guns & Leather #2 - On Target And On Target is a distant second. The range at Guns & Leather, while smaller, is much nicer.

I'd like to take you up on that with my own XD-9 Tactical.

Well... good luck with it Dennis.

Hot off the presses... I will no longer be posting anything about the TFA Nashville chapter here on TGO in the events section until the chapter has a few regularly scheduled meetings under it's belt. So far the meeting notices have gone like this: Day One: Meeting is scheduled for XXXXX day. Day Three: Meeting is canceled. Day Four: No, meeting is back on for XXXXX day. Day Nine: Meeting is canceled again, for real this time. Day Ten: Someone asks if there's going to be a meeting. The bottom line is, there doesn't appear to be any hope. This is why I created TGO; because we can meet here 24/7 independent of the weather conditions, personal schedules, etc. You can meet here in your underwear if you want and you can even carry while drinking a beer as long as you're doing it in your own home. I couldn't help but notice that the TFA is looking for another president for the Nashville chapter. Great.

You can find at least a partial listing of ranges near you in our database. http://www.tngunowners.com/dynamics/browsecategory.php?c=4

It takes only a second for me to obliterate the serial # on a photograph of a firearm, but it could take much longer to undo any known or unknown ways that some foe on the Internet might abuse the serial # were it to be posted.

Neither do I, but I wanted to pass it along to anyone who might be interested. Anything I say further might be considered TGO's official stance on the TFA, so I'd rather avoid that and just state that my weekday evenings have become increasingly busy and I don't have the spare time to devote to a TFA meeting at present. I'm still game for the January 19th TGO middle-Tenn. meet, eat & shoot though.

I received this via email. Posting it here for those who may be interested. --David TENNESSEE FIREARMS ASSOCIATION, INC. LEGISLATIVE ACTION COMMITTEE The Nashville January meeting would normally be scheduled for the third Tuesday which would be the 15th this month. It has come too us pretty quick. I have talked with a few of those who have been attending and am getting mixed interests about meeting next week to talk about what I was planning to address and that is "What is TFA and where is it going next." I would also like some quick feedback on whether to keep meeting at APPS or possibly try to move the meeting to a restaurant and get one of the meeting rooms. This would not necessarily be an every month change but I am thinking more of a meet, eat, visit and talk session for January. What about meeting on the 15th at a restaurant for pizza, Chinese buffet, Golden Coral, Ryan's, Shoney's or other similar types of casual locations that tend to having meeting space? Also, we are looking at a speaker for February who will be talking about the Tennessee Military Collectors Association and sharing some information on Class III firearms.

In a word... Yes.

And thus we arrive at the crux of the situation.
