Transferring assets after an event in anticipation of litigation would be an exceedingly bad idea and ineffective anyway. If your shoot is a bad one, I doubt it will be an insurable event anyway, and you'll just wind up in two lawsuits: one with the "victim" and one with your own insurance company about whether they have to cover your dumb ass. Worry more about the "before" and less about the "after" because it will really come down to whether your shoot was "good" or "bad." If it was bad, you're probably going to get prosecuted and sued and suffer the consequences regardless of your scheme. If your shoot was "good" then you won't face prosecution and you'll spend some coin defending a frivolous suit but that's one potential cost of carrying a gun and shooting someone. If you don't want to get sued, hunker down in your house, contact no one and do nothing. Otherwise, it can happen. Even though Vanderbilt gave me a really expensive piece of parchment and the silly people at the state gave me permission to do so almost two decades ago, I'm not giving YOU legal advice, I'm just enjoying an early morning soliloquy. Have a nice day.

Glock 19

By objective standards, the top tier of ARs is Colt, Bravo Company and Daniel Defense. LMT and Noveske are very close. After that, there are lesser quality builds and small manufacturers that probably don't have a large enough sample size or long enough history to provide valid data. Bravo Company and Daniel Defense have "turnkey" models with all the bells and whistles; Colt rifles tend to come in more "stock" versions ready for you to trick out as you like. Daniel Defense and Colt can be bought off the rack in many gun stores, Bravo Company will require dealing directly with the company and your FFL for delivery. These guns cost more, because they are more. Many AR manufacturers can deliver a rifle that will shoot great for 500 rounds. Many of those guns will run fine for 1,000 or 2,500 rounds, or maybe even more. The difference between an $800 Bushmaster and a $1,500 Daniel Defense will manifest over time. If you want to go to the range three or four times a year and shoot a few hundred rounds at a time, lots of AR manufacturers will suffice for that purpose. If you plan to run your gun hard, as in 1,500-2,000 rounds in a two day class, for example, buy a top tier rifle. If you plan to go to training classes like that regularly, you will eventually buy a top tier rifle. The only question you have to answer is will you buy that rifle first, or will you buy it after you learn what many others also learned the hard way. I own a Bushmaster, an "frankengun," a Daniel Defense and a Bravo Company rifle. I like them all and they all shoot just fine. When I train, I take the Bravo Company as primary and Daniel Defense as backup. The frankengun and the Bushmaster are for my boys to shoot at the range. I've seen in many classes which guns run and which guns prompt their owner to say things like, "wow, that's never happened before......" I don't think it is a coincidence that the guys who I have seen struggle with their rifle in class are the guys who were telling me before class how the gun they built for $500 is just as good as my "overpriced" rifle. Happy holidays. Hope this helps.

A Series 80 is not the same as a Schwartz safety. Kimber series II use a Schwartz safety. Colt Series 80 safeties are different. I prefer a Series 70 with fewer parts to fail.

That's me in the middle with the khaki pants.

Easy: Aimpoint H-1. LaRue mount. That is all.

I can't think of a Tennessee "sex crime" misdemeanor that requires placement on the sex offender registry, but as noted above other states might have misdemeanors that require registration. Registration has complex reciprocity rules, so I suppose it is possible that a person could be on the registry but not be a felon. To answer the original post, or rather to reiterate the answers previously correctly given, the act of a felon holding a firearm is a crime which could subject the original poster to criminal penalties, too. This is one of those questions to which my answer is, "the little voice that told you to ask a lawyer this question already knew the answer."

The "grip angle" theory again. Ack.

Ack.

Once in a while when it's too hot for the blazer I wore to court earlier, I'll OC at lunch. Not often, usually only places I'm a regular.

Get a Remington 870 12 gauge with the barrel length most appropriate to your intended use. Additional barrels are cheap. Accessories are plentiful. Gunsmiths, in the unlikely event one is needed, will have no trouble or reservations working on your gun. You can throw it in a johnboat or drag it through a cornfield without worrying about it. If you are going, at least for the time being, to have only one shotgun, get a versatile one that can be taken anywhere to do anything.

The two I've seen at the range were no fun to shoot at all, they didn't work.

You can buy a long gun in a state other than the state of your residence. The three calibers that everyone should have, with all due respect to you fellows who have it wrong, are 9mm, 7.62x39, and a 12 gauge. Backfill after that with 5.56 and a long range reach out and touch someone gun.

You, and everyone else, should carry the gun that you are most proficient with that you will carry everywhere everyday. The gun on you beats the gun back home every day. If you are trained up and good to go with a revolver more so than a semiauto, then carry the revolver. Me, I carry a Glock 17, 19 or 26 every day and if I go with a second gun, it is a 442.

In Florida, you cannot carry into that portion of an establishment that is primarily the bar area. You can, in general, carry into a restaurant that serves alcohol just be cautious where you are seated.

This. And I'm also too far from Knoxville to help you, but Chip is dead on here.

It was hot as hell, but it was a great class. It was particularly great to watch my 14-year-old son get his rifle hot and have fun learning with great instructors and excellent classmates. I'll be back in Camden with one or the other of my boys or both real soon.

I've done two Suarez classes (Point Shooting Progressions and Advanced Point Shooting Progressions) taught by Roger Phillips and they were excellent.

G26/19/17 out of the AIWB kydex.

I have a PM9. I love it. I recommend it.

At the risk of hijacking your thread, I do have something to offer to you. A full size 1911 can be concealed. I carried a 5" 1911 concealed for many years. Since I began attending training courses, however, I have gone all Glock all the time (G26, 19, 17). A fully loaded Glock is significantly lighter, and thus easier to carry concealed all day, than a 5" 1911. You won't appreciate the difference standing at the counter at the gun store. When you come home and unload that hogleg after a full day out and about, however, you'll find yourself wondering what ever made you think the G26 was not the solution.

The older boy's team won on a walk off double, so I am in.

Hoping my son's baseball team can win tomorrow so we don't have to play on Sunday!

This thread is not at all what I thought it was about......

Not attacking you, just asking you to compare what people who have been there are telling you to whatever your information was that leads you to think it's not a good place to train. You haven't said what that information was, so I'll leave it to you to decide the weight to give it. I'll say this, I've trained with Tactical Response and I've trained with Suarez and the type of training they offer is not for everyone, and I'll leave it at that. You won't go wrong if you go to Montgomery. Klopp is a good guy and a solid instructor and the guys who host the Suarez classes in Montgomery are good fellas and the range is nice. Good luck with your training.
