Hehe. Doesn’t everyone? I’m up to like 4 I think.

Ring have arrived, proper optic installed. *Pardon the mess on the bed. We’re packing for a trip to the lake.*

Tell the truth, you kept some in reserve and slip her some when you’re feet are sore, don’t ya?

Damn it.

You are correct on all points. Regarding the long gun, the statute does not specifically state it must be cased, so it’s up to you how you wish to transport it. That is of course since you are transporting it under your permit by TN Code, and not under FOPA rules.

This was not what I thought this thread was going to be about. *zip*

It’s not easy, but it has been getting significantly easier, even in LA county.

Looks like a fairly standard crime of opportunity to me. Not terribly complicated.

Considering the amount of high quality course material from high quality trainers built around ECQC, I’d venture that a lot of smarter, better trained, and more experienced people than me would say that you are incorrect in that view. You’re not always going to see the attack coming. It is a possibility to end up on the ground with someone having hands on you fighting to get to/keep control of your defensive tools or having to make contact shots. It’s not an unknown or unconsidered issue. As an example, my Hellcat has a stand-off device built into its guide rod to prevent exactly the kind of issue that will result in a PDP having a dead trigger.

I would agree that if you’re in that position a whole lot is already wrong. So much wrong that having a dead gun would make it unfathomably worse. If it’s not a worry for you, that’s great. For some folks it will be a deal breaker. Regardless, the key is that folks are aware of this particular quirk in function.

@TGO Davidane anyone else who may be carrying or considering carrying the PDP for defensive use, there is information you need to be made aware of. I confirmed this flaw of function with folks I know who have one.

On the flip side, childhood mortality rate are waaaaaay lower than they were as well. So you know, there’s that.

I wanted to build a Shughart M-14 because if you’re gonna have one, it might as well be one modeled off the one used by one of the baddest men to wield it. I started with this M-14 clone from Bula Defense. Mounted an ARMS-18 optics rail and an Aimpoint CompM. I then acquired a surplus M-14 fiberglass stock. The army boys sure do love their duct tape. Once I got it stripped down, it was time to paint! As it sits now, it’s in what I refer to as the “movie configuration” ad it’s similar to what was used in the Black Hawk Down film. The CompM will end up coming off and being used on a retro AR build using the original hi-rise optic mount (carry handle gang gang). As of now there are a couple of bits that are either on the way, or requiring a little detailed work to mount. (Waiting on rings for my Aimpoint 5000 and the AIM-1/D needs a tape switch fabricated for it.) Updates to follow as the build is adjusted/completed.

I don’t even live there anymore. Talk radio isn’t my thing at all anyways. Regardless, I hope he gets better soon.

Gotcha. Talk radio in a city I don’t live in goes a long way towards explaining my cluelessness.

Who is this guy? I’ve never heard of him, but y’all all seem real familiar.

I feel pretty safe in saying that they’re almost all getting RMRs.

Great piece that’s worth a read https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/convincing-the-skeptics/

Nope, I was serious. It’s an actual product. That said, I’ve never had the fogging issues you have. I don’t know what’s causing them, but I do carry AIWB as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man, here’s the problem. As horrendous as that was, I’m not convinced it was the worst. There’s way too many things vying for that crown. That’s not saying one should be as cynical as me and view it as mostly irredeemable. I’m just saying never stop fighting to make it better for EVERYONE.

Like any other tool or enhancement, they require training and practice to use effectively. They make controlled pairs super simple. If you just want a fun toy to mimic FA fire, they can be fun for that as well.

I was wondering how much you roast your brother on the subject. I figure 2 decades later he still isn’t allowed to live that #### down.
