I haven't stopped by here in a long time.  Who is David and where is he located?

I like that form. I think I got my form from the same site about 6 or 7 years ago. It is different so they must have redesigned it, but it serves the same purpose. I just keep the sheets in a loose leave notebook.

The site keeps telling me that I need to join in the conversations so this post ought to satisfy the software for a while. I've sent a copy of my renewal to the local sheriff each time with the statement that it is required that he get a copy. I never hear anything from it. I see him quite often and we talk but the C&R is never mentioned.

Don't overlook the Ruger P series. I bought 2 P95's as gifts for under $300 each. Ran about 100 rounds of reloads w/cast bullets thru each of them without a hiccup. This tells me that they will digest just about anything 9mm. All reviews I read said they are very reliable. More important than "cool"

Unless they tell you different, fax is OK. Since I'm retired and don't have a fax at home, I mail my copies to various dealers. If I'm wanting to buy something right away, I go to a business and fax a copy. Always been accepted. John W.TN

Get on Empire Arms email notification list. You may find something you can't live without. If you have quick fingers on the keys, you may even get to it before someone else. I almost forgot, you need deep pockets for a lot of their stuff. Their procedure is to notify by email and make the list of new items available to those on the email list for 24 hours. Anything left after that is added to the regular site. By the way, I haven't been quick enough and prosperous enough to buy anything from them yet. John W.TN

Agreed! No downside. I have purchased 8 or 10 eligible firearms with mine over the past 6 years. Saves the $10 Instant Check fee and the dealer fee. Plus if you live in a small town that doesn't have an FFL dealer, you don't waste gas driving to pick up the gun. I also take advantage of discounts. I mostly deal with Graf. I find if you wait for a good sale at Midway, the sale price is about the same as the C&R discount. Still good. John W.TN

I bought two P95's before last Christmas. Gave them to my sons since they had been wanting a handgun. I paid less than $300 each for them incl. shipping. We've all been busy, so they haven't shot them so I 'm getting them back and will break them in for them. Everything I read says they are great guns for the money. Ruger's have always been reliable.

I just bought a Westinghouse MN from AIM, actually about 2 weeks ago. Nothing special except it is in good condition and I worked for Westinghouse at one time. Had heard of the existence of these rifles from several old timers in the company. I'm assuming they also heard it from old timers. John

I didn't really want to start a new thread but when I tried a search on "gun safe" it brought back every instance of "gun" and "safe". You can imagine how many hits that was. Beside the point! I'm looking for safe vendors in the Nashville area. My son was broken into last night while he was out and lost two handguns and a computer. Even if insurance pays he will be out the deductible. I thought I might help him get a gun safe that would at least slow thieves down. Any recommendations?

OK, I called. Lady told me they hadn't made the background check yet. Said to call back about 9:00 AM tomorrow. Sounds like I should have called a month ago. John

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to sit and grumble impatiently.

Next Wednesday will mark 3 months since I renewed my Handgun Permit. I have yet to receive the actual permit. I wonder if the paperwork even made it out of the DL office. Is there a phone number I can call to check on it? This makes the 4th renewal of my permit and it has never taken this long. I see other posts where first time applicants are getting theirs much sooner. Why the delay for a renewal? John

I assume all the previous posts referred to a new permit. I renewed my permit for the 4th time on January 22nd. Still don't have it. Does it do any good to call, or do they just give you a "canned" answer? I'm beginning to think that the brouhaha in the Memphis Commercial Appeal is causing them to hold it to see if I do anything that might disqualify me for a permit.

Just finished reading every post in this thread (incl. the posts by those who didn't read anything but the thread title) and am not convinced to give up my Seecamp .32 ACP. Granted it is not a .380 but will do. It has no sights at all but it is no trick to keep all shots on a paper plate at 7 yds. I seem to remember reading several years ago that the designer referred to the Seecamp as a "face gun". Stick it in the perp's face and pull the trigger.
