Does anyone know of someone that can make a paddle holster like this one? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you looking for percussion or flint? Price range? barrel length? caliber?

Does anyone know if 12th and Porter is posted?

If he was, in fact, using laser, he knew exactly who he was hitting.

I also prefer the G32. I am issued the G31 and G33, but bought the G32 because I like the feel better. I do not enjoy shooting the G33.

I was at the last Goodman Gun Show and saw, read or was told nothing about FTF sales requiring a background check. However, everyone was given a yellow card stating that if selling FTF, each party was to ensure that all involved were residents of the state of TN, No straw purchases, etc.....but nothing about a background check among private individuals. Didn't notice any empty tables either, and I am unaware if private sellers who rented a table were told to conduct background checks, but if they were, it didn't cause anyone to leave that I noticed. In fact this last show was one of the busiest shows I've seen at the Fairgrounds.

Depending on what you want to do with it, you could buy the Safariland RLS (Rapid Light System) that way you would have a belt clip and the ability to use the light on your handgun. From what I have seen the LED Lenser is the same light that safariland uses in their package. However, you can buy just the mount and use your flashlight. I did this very thing. E

I recently had the opportunity to shoot a friend's Colt Series 70 in 9mm. I was telling him that I wanted to find a 9mm 1911 badly and he told me that he had one. He retrieved it and let my fire about 50 rounds through it. It only confirmed that I have to get my hands on one. I would have NO problem utilizing it for self defense either. E

I have hunted deer exclusively with a flintlock since I was about 8 years old (I am 30 now). As for squirrels, I mostly use a flintlock, but will sometimes use a .22. My dad was a custom builder, so I got started right and have never turned back. E

So does 11 days after the last post make this a thread ressurection? A couple years ago, I had two instances of problems with Copsplus (I know, I should have learned the first time). They did not seem to care that I was unhappy and intended to never spend a dime with them again. I got my money back in the end, but to this day I won't even open up there website. Their low price guarantee was a joke also. Its a shame that they suck becuase from what I remember, they had a good selection (at least on the website, not necessarily in the warehouse) and their prices were good. E

Non legal signage, ignoring it?
eehlert replied to 56FordGuy's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
That's the problem, the law concerning signage does not give a very specific statement for compliance concerning the language that must be on the sign. We have no case law and even the Attorney General hasn't made a ruling as to what exactly the sign must say. It must simply "contain language substantially similar" to the wording in the law. Yet he even states the law is unambiguous. But I can't think of a more ambiguous statement than "contain language substantially similar." Furthermore, who will make this determination? Well, first it will be the business owner, then the LEO, then the magistrate (in the case of a custodial arrest), then it will be the judge. In this equation wherein lies the problem...there is NO specific statement for compliance. -
Non legal signage, ignoring it?
eehlert replied to 56FordGuy's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
What I was saying is that there are many people on here that firmly believe that the statute concerning proper signage will provide them a defense against entering the criminal justice system ...that they will be immune from arrest and/or prosecution because of a business owner's ignorance. If this were a perfect world that would be true, but since it's not there is no total immunity. Never did I say that anyone would get a life sentence for this offense, but I tried to point out that troubles could still brew even though technically no law was broken because of the incorrect sign. "you'd only arrest someone where the owner absolutely insists on it, or if the HCP holder is acting like a complete ass." And if I were put in this position I would not make an arrest, even if the owner insisted, because I know the law. And its funny that I never mentioned arresting anyone for this violation...I simply said "be entered into the criminal justice system" which could be arrest, etc. So it might be beneficial to get a little less angry and actually understand what I wrote. And to whomever stated that an arrest is not an arrest until the commissioner signs it is mistaken. However, if someone is taken into custody and then taken to jail, a warrant must then be signed by the commissioner or magistrate, etc. . . Being arrested does not necessarily involve taking a trip to jail. And the above blanket statement about being arrested is exactly why I wrote my initial post. There are too many absolutes in people's mind and in the case of the criminal justice system....there are to many gray areas to take any comfort in absolutes. I was simply trying to inform everyone that it is not always as clear cut as walking into an establishment that is incorrectly posted, having the law called and pointing to the incorrect sign and being let go about your business. It is unfortunate that things are this way, but its the imperfect system that we live in/with. I simply want everyone to use caution and good judgement. Does everyone remember all the news reports about all of the LE agencies that are against the "guns in restaurants" bill? Does everyone remember all the LEO present at Bredesen's veto (which incidentally, my agency was not represented, thankfully)? My point is, everyone needs to really think about whether or not they really want to test the system, especially in one of the cities that was represented. Geez people, I am on the side of the 2nd Amendment all the way and was just trying to give some advice. I am sorry that I interjected, but I don't want to see anyone get in any trouble. E -

As a LEO, HCP Holder and overall Pro-2nd Amendment feller, I would strongly caution anyone from going against a sign that does not meet the "letter" of the law. Sure, common sense tells us that if the sign is not legal, then by carrying, you are not breaking the law. However, the way this great state operates, judges get to make the final call, with little to no oversight. My point is, everyone must make their own decision on how far they are willing to go to exercise their right. Case in point... a sign is posted on an establishment, but it does not meet the legal requirements, though the intent is clear; can you still be entered into the criminal justice system (arrest, court, etc)? Sure you can...even though it may not be exactly lawful...but do you really want to go through that hassle and possible expense... all for the judge to decide that the establishment's sign was articulate enough to establish intent? Again, just throwing this out there. Each person needs to make their own decision based upon how far they are willing to go with the possible consequences. I just don't want folks to be so brazen and think that the signage will be an air-tight defense. To my knowledge there is no case law regarding this...and would like to keep it that way. -
Do a search for "claw mount" for an MP5. I have not seen one that has the integrated rings, but they do make them with a rail for mounting a scope mount like you linked to. Unless I am mistaken (which is possible) you are gonna have to start with a claw mount for the GSG 5 or other MP5 variant as the groundwork for mounting a scope.

Quick question regarding transport (again)
eehlert replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
You "real" brother is correct. The firearms and ammunition need to be separate: 39-17-1308. Defenses to unlawful possession or carrying of a weapon. — (a) It is a defense to the application of § 39-17-1307 if the possession or carrying was: (1) Of an unloaded rifle, shotgun or handgun not concealed on or about the person and the ammunition for the weapon was not in the immediate vicinity of the person or weapon... 39-17-1301. Part definitions. — As used in this part, unless the context otherwise requires: (6) “Immediate vicinity†refers to the area within the person's immediate control within which the person has ready access to the ammunition;
