Supreme Court agrees to hear gun rights case
Chucktshoes replied to DaveTN's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Here’s the write up on it from TTAG. It goes a bit more in depth as to how even a narrow ruling can be a big win for us. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2019/01/daniel-zimmerman/breaking-supreme-court-grants-cert-to-ny-state-rifle-pistol-assn-v-city-of-ny/ Oh, and here’s an article from the folks over at Slate freaking the eff out over this case. It’s good for a laugh. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/01/supreme-court-new-york-gun-case-heller.html This is a case to watch closely because I believe it will make a seemingly small, but ultimately very significant, step towards that ultimate goal of officially recognizing that the 2A covers the bearing of arms outside the home. -
His knife sheaths are excellent as well. They are a perfect compliment to GT’s knives. Also, that’s a really cool design. Totally impractical for me, but still an awesome looking setup.

Apparently. I congratulate you on your ability to hide it. I went back to reread it and still can’t find it. -
Are there any high fence hunting facilities in that area?

To add to this, I’m an anarchist. I reject the idea of government being a legitimate entity on principle, and yet I went and got a lifetime permit because I understand the reality of the world we live in. There’s a difference between acting on principle and acting on pride. It’s best not to get them confused. -
Glow in the dark AR safety lever
Chucktshoes replied to Capbyrd's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Agree. Unecessary. -
I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with that premise, I just think that some of the others in the conversation just want to ensure they can keep shooting as long as it takes to find that exit. I intend to be able to be in the fight as long as I have to be, no matter how long that takes. That means having enough ammo to keep shooting until I can escape, or the other guy decides that he doesn’t want to fight anymore or has that choice made for him.

My friend Ryan is from OH. His response to that limitation is to use a .450 Bushmaster for deer. It’s a completely stupid rule.

He wasn’t the hero we wanted, but he was the hero we needed.

You would be wrong. That’s the main premise of the lawsuit. -

Sorta like Texas where when you enter the state house, if you show them your carry permit, they waive you around the security checkpoint where they screen using metal detectors, eh? -
We have a total eclipse of the sky going on in my neck of the woods.

Franklin Armory Providence ("Non-semiautomatic")
Chucktshoes replied to Capbyrd's topic in Long Guns
I could be wrong, but I think most of the places with an AWB tie all the banned characteristics into semi-autos. -

Someone who can’t get one otherwise? -
You might have just found the one thing we agree on. This is all just show for political gain in how it is being handled.

Only if you like the state working against the people for injustice as opposed to the people working against the state for justice.

Once again they overcharged. They (almost) always overcharge in these cases and that’s why the officers (almost) always walk. At some point you have to stop believing it’s over eagerness or incompetence and suspect that it’s intentional.

Say what you want about them, they sell a lot of guns. My first pistol was a Hi-Point. It served me well while I had it. -
That reminds me of this incident from a few years back where a face to face conversation got really awkward after one guest assumed the guest was white, when he wasn’t in a conversation regarding the Starbucks Racetogether campaign a few years ago. The whole video is worthwhile, but the fun starts aroun the 6:00 minute mark.

I’ve watched the bodycam video of this incident several times and I can only come to the conclusion of negligence. If you watch the footage closely you can see that every time the female officer is in view, she is safely indexing her trigger finger and exercising good muzzle discipline. Her training stuck and it is a shame that she ended up paying the price for her partner’s negligence. There is no other way to legitimately describe his weapons handling other than negligent and its synonyms. The whole time he was rolling around the house with his weapon in his hand, his finger was on the trigger and he flagged her more than once. The end result was sadly predictable. I pray she is able to fully recover from this incident. I also hope that her partner receives the remedial training he so obviously needs. ***A warning to all parties involved in this discussion.*** Ensure that your posts are limited to the topic at hand. The policy on TGO is and remains that generalized cop bashing is not allowed. Normally threads critical of LE must be related to TN, but I’m allowing this thread to go forward because I believe that we can all learn lessons from this incident. The reminder of what happens when folks get complacent is never a bad thing. Still, be careful with what you say and how you say it. Keep it topical and keep it respectful. You can be critical of LE (obviously I am) but ensure that your posts provide value and intelligent discourse beyond “cops are bad, mmmkay?”

Tennessee counties packing the most, least heat
Chucktshoes replied to FortKnox's topic in General Chat
We hold to the state trend in Crockett. About 10% of the population have permits.
