I remain less than impressed with the defacto Nashville chapter president. As I've said to molonlabetn privately, I left the first "revival meeting" of this chapter with the impression that John Harris may have moved too quickly to accept Perry's volunteer appointment and maybe should have waited for another meeting or two to come and go and see if others volunteered as well. It was all decided upon very quickly that first meeting and we may never know if someone more suited to the task was holding their tongue in a "wait and see" move rather than jump in head-first. I'm not knocking Perry... I haven't seen enough of his leadership ability yet to make that call. But what I've seen so far seems like he's oozing with enthusiasm but doesn't exude much charisma or confidence. And those are two things that a solid leader needs, and two things which this chapter will die out again for lack of. I hope I'm wrong on all counts, though. This organization must succeed and it's terribly sad that it can't get a chapter off the ground in it's own back yard.

I've started carrying my .30-06 Remington rifle. I figure it's a part of the .30 caliber projectile family too and I know that it's terminal ballistics far outweigh those of the 9mm and .38spl. Of course this forces me to try "open carry" so... I guess it's time for me to make that nachos run to Wal-Mart with the Remington slung over my shoulder.

Can't make it tonight. I've got other matters to attend to that I've already put off for nearly a week. Someone please post a review of what happens, and if they finally taser the president dude, get that on video.

I do business with a lot of places that say my gun isn't allowed. Not many of them have metal detectors at the door, however. It would be a cold day in hell before I went to the bank without being armed.

You're still young... there's plenty of time ahead for you to find one and buy it.

So... one jackass with a gun ruins it for everyone who legally carried into this bank for God knows how long. That's the way I'm reading this. But that's usually the way it goes. :-\

After doing a little research, I see that the Regal is basically a heavier, reskinned version of the Pontiac GTP. Those could be quick cars out of the hole. After 100mph they kind of fell on their faces, though. Don't worry with the time slip. I believe you. Too bad it's not a Grand National.

A 13 second pass out of a 4-door v6 Regal is something I'd have to see to believe. Not calling BS, just saying I've gotta see that.

I love storms.

LMT is good stuff. Nice!

You guys can now carry into Hastings together and really mess with the clerk's head.

I use the entrances that don't have metal detectors.

Well, it was nice knowing you.

I would imagine that Kevin will do any manner of customization that you want.

Remind me again what gun you carry.

Hey Josh... good to see you over here.

Well... I'm thinking a compact or mid-sized automatic of some sort. 9mm, .40SW maybe? What have you shot and liked?

Welcome! I too have both a Kimber Tac Pro (II) 1911 and an XD9.

Disney is a great guy. I've known him for about 5 years now, going on 6, and he is seriously one of the only people I know who can insult you in such a funny way that you'll feel good about it and laugh your butt off the entire time. I know people who look forward to being insulted by him, he's that good at it.

Cool!

Ever seen the movie Super Troopers ? edit... that kinda looks like TowerClimber doesn't it?

If a creep restrains your hands, you can fight with him and try to wrestle at least one hand free. That's also why I advocate carrying with a live round in the chamber. If you're in a fight for your life, will you really have time AND the faculties available to you to rack the slide? If a creep grabs a lady's purse and her gun is in that purse... even if it's still attached cross-body like a messenger bag by the strap... who has control of the gun? The rightful owner or the thug who has the purse in his hands, tugging and dragging with it? That's why I say if the gun is in the purse and the creep has your hands preoccupied... you're screwed. I'd rather the gun be on my person so that as soon as I could get a hand free, I could grab for it rather than having to THEN try to grab for my purse and re-engage that particular aspect of the physical struggle. I stand by my original statement.

You'll poke yer eye out! Agreed. I would love to get a 22LR conversion for my 1911s. Maybe even one for the AR... but I do love the way it pops right now.

I'd say two good things came of it. Next time this clerk sees someone legally carrying, maybe he'll think twice before making an ass of himself. If this was his first time ever doing it, he gets a free pass due to being ignorant of the way the law works. Now he's educated so he shouldn't repeat that mistake.
