This is shaping up to be a very interesting meet lol 

Now don't go having any premature expectations. It's quite possible you'll end up like my father....disappointed.

The subcompact version makes for a great pocket pistol

Then I'll have to make a choice between a .22LR handgun, or a CZ Scorpion 3+.  Tough life for me, folks.

Both. The correct answer is both.

I'll be keeping my eye out for one of y'all to show up like this

oddly, a LOT of the IT community is into firearms. I'm not only a client...

Being into firearms and being effective at protecting yourself with firearms are two distinctly different disciplines. AI developers and data scientists are pretty deep into the autism spectrum.  They are on another level compared to garden variety IT people. If there is interest, they collect firearms like Warhammer 40K figurines.

Only upside I see is that it’s close at hand when the Butlerian Jihad kicks off. 

I'm 50/50 on if it's more of a liability than an asset. Along with Oak Ridge, Barrett, Beretta, S&W, etc, we're already a target. If the site goes full Skynet, we'll have to flood it with Mountain Dew, just to make sure. 

Curious to know if they build the structure with an integrated faraday cage, considering the state the world currently.

Those nerds better harden the F up and get carry permits.

I copy TX Roadhouse at high noon on Morrell Rd.  Somebody please make a good impression on the greeter so I don't have to go table to table asking about gun lovers.

Find the Oliver Anthony lookalike and you'll be in the right spot

Oops sorry, you were not supposed to see this meet up message....we only do them in secret.....LOL - Two wheels are in storage ??!!! Say it isn't so !!! These are some of the best roads around to ride on. 

Yeah I've got sports cars to enjoy the roads with until all my vehicles and stuff get moved out here. 

@gun sane @FUJIMO @AuEagle @Sleep profit @itw69fxst I'm making my monthly trip to Knoxville next Saturday the 15th. There is a Texas Roadhouse across from West Town Mall and a block away is Smoky's Cigars. We can start hitting the dead cow at noon and go from there.

Everyone here smoke cigars? A lunch and a smoke would be a solid social outing.

@btq96r Just noticed Taurus has a rebate deal going now where they offer 3 free mags with a TX22 purchase now until 07/31/2024 plus PSA has one with a bronze slide for $229.99

@gun sane it gobbles up subsonic all the same as well which is quite impressive

[So is this all of us in East TN?]

@TripleGGG You might as well be NE Chattanooga as far as I'm considered

Super tempting considering my name is written all over it

Taurus TX22. They just released their revised TORO version. I like it far better than my Sig P322 and it's cheaper.  

[So is this all of us in East TN?]

Seems like this thread could use a bump. Also it seems many people aren't educated on navigating this regional section which is the likely contributor to the low member count of this particular region. 

Either way, popped in here to represent. There is talk of a TGO get-together in this region in other parts of the forum but no traction thus far. 

[East TN/Knoxville Locals meetup]

Occasionally threads pop up about this topic but nothing seems to come of them. Unless there are small groups meeting in secret, I don't know of anyone from here actually getting together outside of the rectangular portal world.

I'm up for meeting people in, what is believed to be, the real world. My two wheeled transport is in storage far away so I'm more of a cager these days. Getting together for a chin wag over dead cow interests me. 

 

[Where is everyone buying ammo?]

ammoseek.com, sort by conditional free/free shipping. there is also a good thread on this topic in the Ammo section to help avoid sales tax and get free shipping at the same time.

we can agree to disagree, just checked indeed in my working town, McDonalds crew member $13 right now, during covid  their sign said $19......     

Nobody wants to work while their sucking on .gov tits for that free money, hand outs for food and housing.

$13/hr and up to $13/hr are not the same thing. In nearby KY, McDonalds is advertising up to $10/hr. That top end isn't really that far above minimum.
