Super bummed this isn’t current. I was excited when I was reading through and went to sign up before noticing the year.

I see your point now. Thanks for continuing to elaborate. I feel like there is still a back door here, so I’m not on board, but appreciate the perspective.

Telling our representatives “we don’t like this” and why is exactly what I’m doing. The law isn’t passed yet. My plan is to say hell no. Already emailed and called his office. Have you? It seems like you’ve already accepted this. The fact that I had to go get a “mother may I” permit to carry a gun in this state disgusts me and I’ve noticed many gun owners of TN seem to be complacent. I overheard a conversation in a gun store by “regulars” there basically saying they wouldn’t care about an AWB because it wouldn’t affect them We got Constitutional Carry and guns in bars (for non-drinkers) passed in my old state. The latest win here is “guns in trunks”. That’s a joke. I know, I know... If it was so much better where I came from, go back. Sometimes I wish I could, but I can’t and I will leave it at that. I do like it here. The mindset is just totally different.

I’ve seen orders of protection issued on more than one occasion by angry ex-wives after false accusations of “fear” and “abuse” and watched gun buddies go through living hell having their guns need to all be moved elsewhere until they could get that settled. Some of them were FFLs or SOTs and lost their businesses and reputations in the process. One of my closest friends from where I came from who is in the industry lived under constant blackmail and extortion from a disgruntled ex that she would get his guns taken away unless he did “x” (pay her, get back together, stop seeing other people, pay her...pay her). This is more than a slippery slope. It’s the above scenario now open to anyone who doesn’t like you or wants to see your guns out of your hands...or see you get hurt or killed in the process of an attempted confiscation. No compromises.

I bought a TacSol X-Ring about two years ago and I may have 40 rounds through it. I need to take that thing out. Also have two suppressed AR SBRs with carbon fiber barrels- 4” and 6” I think. The 6” suppressed AR is the most fun. It’s really accurate for what it is.

Nashville-bound for a move in my company, which is based there. My wife and I leave Monday from Phoenix, where we have lived our whole lives. I used to be somewhat active competitively, but tore an extensor tendon in the forearm on my strong side, so I haven’t shot since April and had to have surgery with a long recovery. It’s discouraging to be loading a huge safe, guns, and ammo in a truck not knowing if I will be able to shoot them again, but I sure as hell can’t sell anything in this gun depression. And I still pay the safe a visit daily to tinker. My wife and I don’t have kids. I’m Libertarian. She’s more liberal, but completely pro-2A, as someone who is “liberal” should be. We have two small dogs and bought a quaint little house in East Nashville. I’m going to get my TN DL and then need to figure out a place to get my carry permit and possibly qualify support side only since I’m gimpy. Calibers- 9MM, 5.56, 22LR Guns I use- Glocks, CZ-75 SA pistols, FN SCAR, AK-74, MP5s, CZ Scorpion. Guns I hate- shotgun and anything 40S&W. Looking forward to the move and eventually meeting some of you if/when I’m back up and shooting. At least I can pass off as a noob again at matches while I build up my strength and skill again
