I looked into PCP awhile back. But the cost of air bottles and pumps was prohibitive. I figure at some point they will work that out.

I could be wrong, but I think you will find the laws address background information. Also, there are several states that maintain gun registries or require approval from local law enforcement. DARPA is part of the Department of Defense and I’m sure they will claim national security if anyone tries to stop or impede them. I’m sure this is a byproduct of what they do on the net. “Hey hold my beer, and watch what we can do with this program.”

I’m not. This is the digital age. Information is easy to access, download, categorize and report. However, I suspect that the anti-gunners will use the numbers from Armslist that will make the number of private sales appear much larger than it really is. I also suspect a gun advertised over several websites will get counted several times. Although I doubt they really care what the numbers are. I don’t think their main use of this information will be as a database for tracking guns. I think they are going to use it to help justify legislation to stop private guns sales without a background check. And unfortunately (because it won’t help stop crime); I think it will work.

Yes. That's what the next sentence in the part you cut said.

What???? State and local officials actually working to get new business….amazing.

That won’t be happening. But I’m sure most of the Glocksters would be glad to see us get a big azz Smith & Wesson store.

That's great news!

I hate to see any American Firearms Manufacturer go under. It looks like they made bad business decisions. They should, at the very least, be getting owners guns back to them if they are financially unable to fix them. That’s a big black eye that will be tough to recover from.

Why would the trigger impact the operation with a suppressor?

Every single incident is different. Every department is different and every Officer can be different. I don’t know what Tennessee does; I was a cop in another state. We had discretion on misdemeanors; not felonies. If for some reason we had a person that had been accused of a felony and we didn’t want to make an arrest; we had to notify command and they would decide or call a DA to decide. Usually the DA would back the decision of the Officer at the scene. Your goal is not to win at trial; your goal is to not go to trial. You can ask questions without making a statement. If you want to wait 48 hours before making a statement; ask them, and see what they say will happen. Then make a decision about what you do. I’m not suggesting you roll over and give up your rights. I’m saying these Officers responding are making decisions that will impact your life. I want them on my side. If for some reason I thought I may be arrested or charged; I absolutely will be waiting to talk to an attorney. As far as witnesses and evidence goes; the cops need to believe that a crime was committed and you committed it to make an arrest. If you woke in the middle of the night to a sound in your house and walked out to see a stranger standing in your living room and you shot him dead. The Police have a murder victim and you killed him. Without a statement from you they don’t know if you shot an intruder or a visiting friend. As far as knowing the law; some people believe that laws, commonly referred to as Castle Doctrine laws, give them the right to kill an intruder. That is true if you believe you were in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm. If when asked if you were in fear for your life you respond with “No, I wasn’t in fear; but I don’t need to be, I have the right to shoot a burglar”. You may have a problem because that statement is not true. Again, I’m not saying don’t talk to an attorney, but if you are going to do that; have a plan that makes that happen fast. Most cops aren’t going to want to charge you if you shot a criminal. However things can go wrong. A Nashville Officer is going to stand trial for murder in a case where he was clearly justified. He had attorneys. Public opinion and politics could get involved in your shooting. Having a plan to be able to contact an attorney in the middle of the night is like buying insurance; you hope you never need it, but it’s there if you do need it.

High gloss blue and walnut is beautiful. I sold my 870 WingMaster a few years ago that was like that; now I’m kinda watching for a deal on one as I want another. Good find.

This has been discussed here many times. The video on the traffic stop is probably the best I have seen. The only thing I would do different is that I have my HCP and driver’s license together. That way I don’t have to have a discussion about firearms unless he wants to have it. I fully understand that notifying the Officer is not a requirement in Tennessee; but as a former Police Officer I believe it is a very good idea. He makes a good point about not arguing about the violation with the Officer. There is nothing wrong with calmly discussing the alleged offense, but traffic court isn’t held on the street. Having a calm discussion with the Officer is a good thing. A positive discussion reduces the chance of a ticket. As far as a shooting… The only person that will be impacted legally by your shooting is you and your family; not your attorney, not anyone on this forum and certainly not the cops. Therefore it is your responsibility to have a plan that makes sense to you. …and works. I know the difference in a good shoot and a bad shoot. I also know that people at the scene are making decisions about me that could impact by life and my financial well-being. If a person is shot or dead; I am detained. Officers and Detectives at the scene will decide if a crime has been committed and if I committed it. They can’t decide that and let me leave without a statement from me. So they will get that. Now I know that isn’t a popular thing to say on a gun site where you have had it beat into your head post after post to not say anything and call your attorney. If you want to invoke your constitutional rights and not make a statement, or you don’t want to make a statement without your attorney present; that’s fine, as I said above you and you alone will bear the consequences of that decision. I can say that because I know I am not going to be a willful participant in a road rage incident. If I am a willful participant in an argument and I get attacked; I will either take my azz whipping, or whip their azz; I will not pull a gun. If you pull a gun or shot someone in that kind of circumstance; yes, you need to have an attorney before making a statement. If you pull a gun on someone and they take off; call the Police and stay until they arrive. The biggest advantage I see to having shooting insurance is that you have a 24 hour a day phone number of someone you can call. Some seem to think that you saying you want to call your attorney will cause the Police to let you leave; I can assure it will not. They will tell you to call them. It would be in your best interest if you can talk to your attorney at 2AM when you have been involved in a shooting. So if you are going to invoke your right to remain silent try to have an attorney that you can talk with at the scene. They aren’t going to let you leave until you either make a statement or are arrested. I hope this never happens to anyone here.

Then use a 600 grain 12GA slug. The gun will cost far less than the others you are looking at and the results of those others will pale in comparison visually.

Oh really? Well what if someone invented a round that had the mass, surface area and the velocity of a good self-defense round? Oh wait….nevermind.

I see gun groups asking for money. Do they not have legislators that will introduce bills? That’s not an argument; that’s a question. I would think the TFA, NRA, GOA, etc. would know legislators that will introduce bills. I’m not saying contacting your legislators isn’t a good idea; I just believe its being done.

Yes, I didn’t catch that. It also has a five digit zip code, so it’s after 63.

Good find. Scroll down to December 2015 and that article is listed. http://www.nashvilleretrospect.com/NR_purchase.html

Probably the 50’s. I don’t think the price changed much into the 60’s. I remember seeing ads like that in the back of all kinds of magazines and comic books.

Those aren’t for us; they are for the special people.

I don’t own either but it appears the SCCY CPX is a better option and the price is about the same (~$200). Is there anything else USA made in that price range in 9 or 40?

This has nothing to with Trump, the Justices don’t answer to him; as it should be. I am curious to see if the Justices keep to the narrow scope of the question before them, or if hopefully they broaden the response to address “reasonable restrictions” by the states. Heller ripped the baby in half by ruling we have the right to keep arms, but states can impose reasonable restrictions on where, when, and what we carry. Will cases continually have to go to SCOTUS (Who doesn’t have to hear them and can stand silent) to determine if restrictions are “reasonable”? We need a ruling that restricting carry off a person’s property is a violation of the 2nd amendment.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/supreme-court-agrees-to-hear-gun-rights-challenge-to-nyc-transport-law The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear a case that will have implications for the rights of the nation’s gun owners, examining the scope of the Second Amendment for the first time in nearly 10 years. The case, known as New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York, New York, involves restrictions on gun owners’ ability to transport their licensed firearms. Three gun owners and the firearms group are challenging a New York City law that prohibits individuals from transporting an unloaded firearm that is locked in a container to a shooting range or a second home beyond city limits. For law-abiding Second Amendment supporters who live in high-crime areas, Tuesday’s announcement is likely to be “welcome news,” Ilya Shapiro, director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, told FOX Business. “With this cert grant, the court can start checking the massive resistance of many states and cities to this important constitutional right. And it can start instructing the lower courts, many of which have treated the right as second-class, how the law works in this area,” Shapiro said. Shapiro also noted that in the decade since it ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, the Supreme Court has not taken on any cases regarding the scope of that right. In New York City, it is generally illegal to possess a firearm without a license – and the only license available to most residents, according to the plaintiffs, is one that allows people to possess the handgun in the home or within city limits. A federal appeals court rejected a constitutional challenge from the plaintiffs in February, ruling the law did not infringe upon gun owners’ Second Amendment rights, their ability to travel freely or the promotion of economic activity beyond city limits (i.e. interstate commerce). The city argued that its rules promote public safety by limiting the number of firearms on the streets. Plaintiffs say it actually increases the number of firearms on the streets since gun owners are not able to transport those firearms to locations outside of the city.

Ha, Ha Ha, hey maybe they are moving in the right direction. I find it amusing that they think adding a threaded barrel to a price buyer’s handgun will make a difference. I hope they keep working towards better products.

So…If I understand your post correctly and your question, your friend did not get what he wanted and took it back and the dealer gave him what he wanted? Good for them. It’s not unheard of for a dealer to take gun back. But unless there is a problem with it; they don’t want to. Once transferred it can’t be put back on the shelf and sold as new.
