Welcome to TGO, Aaron!

This was a top Google hit... https://www.nrablog.com/articles/2016/6/buying-and-selling-a-firearm-online-and-interstate-gun-sales/

The forum software has been upgraded to the latest and greatest from IPB. Some server-side software has been upgraded as well. Testing this morning indicates that all is well but, as always, please report anything anomalous.

Unless the teacher in question knew who was doing the shooting, anyone he let into the classroom was potentially the shooter or a shooter.

If you're getting emails from the forum, that may be a false alarm or an old alert.

Ladies; Would it be preferred that I lock this particular forum down to only those who state they are women when they sign up? I'd be glad to do it. Let me know!

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! Definitely send me some ideas!

I really hope that folks will avail themselves of this chance. I have got to get to one of your classes this year!

It's awfully early for Trump to have begun campaigning for whichever actual conservative runs against him for 2020.

Thanks!

Much appreciated! The panelists were outstanding and I worked hard to make sure the first episode sounded as good as possible with my limited experience so that folks would be willing to listen again to another episode.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kudos. I wanted to be sure we had a good quality episode! The guests were just excellent all the way around. You hit on the thing I really love about podcasts: you can listen when you have time, pause them when you don’t, etc. I’ve come to where I don’t listen to live radio any longer because of them!

We can compare how many people care about being in the chat room vs. how many people download the podcast. I honestly think this helped me make up my mind. The moderators and I don't have the bandwidth for the chat room. Unless one of them wants to commit to being there each week to be sure that the room stays relatively clean and respectable, we don't need it.

Thank you! We tried hard to make sure the first outing was a good one.

Thanks again, man! I think the most telling part of the whole evening was after the show as we hung out and chatted and everyone said "I think we could have easily gone longer." There was so much information shared last night! Even after the show! Next time I'm not going to worry about the clock. We're just going to keep rolling!!

Shooters Nation Episode 01: School Shootings. Should Armed Response Be Left To The Police? http://shootersnation.libsyn.com/shooters-nation-episode-01-school-shootings-should-armed-response-be-left-to-the-police BIG thanks to Randy Harris (@Cruel Hand Luke), Eddie Mickle (@molonlabetn), Gordon Revels (@Dolomite_supafly), and Mark Lancaster from Squared Away Customs for the time they spent with me recording this last night and the knowledge they shared. I had an absolute blast doing this and can't wait to do the next episode. Tell us what you think! I am submitting the podcast to iTunes now and will be submitting it to Stitcher this week. I'm told that it can take 7-10 days for the first podcast to be approved and picked up by iTunes, but subsequent episodes post a lot faster. In the meantime you can access the podcast and listen to it using the link at the top of this post. You will always find the latest episode released first on the Libsyn Page for Shooters Nation.

Had a GREAT time last night recording the first episode with a few familiar faces here on TGO and a friend from up in New Hampshire. @Dolomite_supafly and @molonlabetn joined me to have a good conversation with Randy Harris (@Cruel Hand Luke) and Mark Lancaster from Squared Away Customs about practical training for civilians and educators. It's a pretty timely conversation with recent tragic events in Marshall County, Kentucky and Parkland, Florida. I have several hours worth of work to do today to get it packaged up and turned into a podcast. I should have it posted for you all to listen to tonight! I really can't thank these guys enough for their time, enthusiasm and knowledge. Please show Randy and Mark some love. Randy is one of our resident firearms training instructors and hosts classes in the Chattanooga area very frequently. Mark is a heck of a good holster manufacturer at Squared Away Customs and has offered up a discount code "Shooters Nation" for you guys.

Thanks! I'll try hard to live up to that. I'm not sure if I am all that talented or just too dumb to stop. lol

New home for the Shooters Nation Podcast is up and live at http://shootersnation.libsyn.com/ That site is where it will feed into iTunes and Stitcher. Which means we're really darn close to having the groundwork laid for the show to be "syndicated" on Apple IOS, Android and PC platforms. If all goes to plan, the first real episode will be recorded tonight!!!

God bless you guys for that, too.

I already know what most of you think about CNN. Did you watch their Town Hall meeting last night (Thursday 2/21/2018) and, if so, what did you think? I am still searching for a video of the entire thing. Surely CNN has posted it or will but I am in a bit of a rush to get out the door this morning. In the meantime here is an article from CNN.com on the thing. I watched it from start to finish and have two pages of notes on a legal pad. I'll share my thoughts later. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/21/politics/cnn-town-hall-florida-shooting/index.html
