  1. http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_23634504/federal-judge-post-office-violated-mans-rights-by#ixzz2YgUC9FoS   In a nutshell:  Parking lot OK, building not so much..    
  2. I'd go out of my way to patronize a place like this:   http://wtkr.com/2013/02/15/virginia-beach-pizza-shop-offering-discount-to-gun-owners/
  3. I think some folks aren't getting what this is saying.. It means that a Govt agency can GO ON YOUR PROPERTY to attach a GPS tracking device to your vehicle sitting in your driveway WITHOUT obtaining a warrant, unless it's fully fenced / locked / etc (which then enters into a situation where only those with enough money to erect walls / fences / whatever have any expectation of privacy). If this doesn't disturb you just a little bit, well...
  4. +1 for The Beltman in NC from yours truly, too. I'm one of those of "greater girth", and with the WallyWorld special I had prior I found myself frequently "adjusting" while walking, and could never set and hold the right tension with the cheezeball belt. Enter the Beltman product.. 1.5" with the stiffeners is what I got, and it really changed the game for carrying a 21SF in an MTAC. This belt is Heavy Duty. Not only will it keep a significant weight / size weapon in place, but I think, in some cases, it could also significantly reduce juvenile delinquency.
  5. 21 SF .45, simple and reliable operation, and fits my hands. Hey, Kool-Aid! Oh, wait... It works for me. I'd not say that I "promote" it to everyone, but I'd recommend anyone that's in the market at least take a look at one.
  6. I thought I'd dredge this one up and answer the question: Went to the park today, and the only sign I saw was "No outside food or drink allowed." So had a nice day in the sun watching the dogs do their thing.
  7. If you're military and have gone through handgun qualification / training in the last 5 years, then TN will at least let you skip the HCP class: Effective July 1, 2005, Tennessee handgun carry permit law will now allow certain applicants already exempt from complying with firing range provisions of the current statute to also be exempt from any classroom requirements. Those current exceptions are applicants who prove to the department that within five (5) years from the date of application for handgun permit, the applicant has: Been certified by the police officer's standards and training commission, or successfully completed training at the law enforcement training academy; or successfully completed the firearms training course required for armed security guards; or successfully completed all handgun training of not less than four (4) hours as required by any branch of the military.
  8. The Chop House 4870 Harvest Mill Way Knoxville, TN 37918 (This is the one on Broadway in Fountain City..) No signs at entrance or elsewhere that I saw when dining there last Thurs.
  9. I was thinking along the same lines, but didn't know if anyone had seen signs, etc.. Might actually not have to go in, as it turns out. A friend from the left coast is coming in for the event, I might just meet up with them after and have a bite. Thanks!
  10. Yes, yet another "can I carry there" thread.. So, folks in Chatt, can I? I looked it up and it appears to be privately owned, so not a city / county thing.. Anyone know of signage, other stumbling blocks? Goin' to an event there next month.
  11. First- Hmm.. There may be hope for this planet yet.. Second - Thanks to all the ones that could go and did. I couldn't, so didn't.. Third: When did they start Emailing the permits??!!
  12. Ahh.. The People's Republic of California.. As bkelm18 said.. If you can get a permit there, you have a LOT more freedom on where you can carry than many other states. Even in TN. It's just that "May Issue" thingy getting in the way.. What you might want to consider is obtaining a non-resident carry permit from one of the states that offers them, such as Florida. While also not honored in CA, it would give you some carry options if you take trips outside the state.
  13. But I've got a 21 SF stuffed into a MTAC at 4:00 right now... If it can handle a 21 SF comfortably while sitting, I can only assume that you'd almost forget you're wearing a 19.
  14. Even if they DON'T live, it's highly likely they have family who would sue. If you have to pull the trigger, expect it no matter what. But that's where 39-11-622 comes in: 39-11-622. Justification for use of force — Exceptions — Immunity from civil liability. — (a) (1) A person who uses force as permitted in §§ 39-11-611 — 39-11-614 or § 29-34-201, is justified in using such force and is immune from civil liability for the use of such force, unless: (A) The person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in § 39-11-106 who: (i) Was acting in the performance of the officer's official duties; and (ii) Identified the officer in accordance with any applicable law; or (iii) The person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer; or ( The force used by the person resulted in property damage to or the death or injury of an innocent bystander or other person against whom the force used was not justified. ( The court shall award reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by a person in defense of any civil action brought against the person based upon the person's use of force, if the court finds that the defendant was justified in using such force pursuant to §§ 39-11-611 — 39-11-614 or § 29-34-201. [Acts 2007, ch. 210, § 3.]
