I imagine his friends are giving him crap about it right now. And his response is probably something along the lines of “it’s not stupid if it works!“

I dig that. Definitely right up my alley. Now I’m gonna make a hard right turn into neofolk/folk metal. It’s totally amazing. And here is the full concept record.

The federal government has actually dropped cases against objectively bad people because they were worried about A judgment setting precedent. The way the statue reads, split receiver guns do not have a single part that meets the legal definition of firearms. Whatever they do here will result in litigation.

It is John Lovell’s signature gun. Essentially it is an MR920 from Shadow Systems with some aesthetic changes.

Well, that ain’t the only thing he got wrong that day.

I’m not offering opinions with regards to whether the guy with the NAA revolver was justified or not. That’s not really my place, or something I feel qualified to do. while I do agree with your statement that it would be a good thing for those on the left to become more pro 2A, I believe it isn’t so cut and dried in situations like this. While I have no issue with armed protests, The tactics being employed here present a problem. BLM demonstrations have a history of getting out of hand with participants engaging in mob violence. With that sort of background engaging in aggressive and confrontational behavior while armed creates a situation where someone may be more likely to feel their life is in danger and employ deadly force. Even if you agree with BLM, and I do have a lot of common ground with them, you have to admit that that sort of situation is a complete powderkeg just waiting for a spark.

I’m the video of the event, at least two of the BLM crowd were openly armed.

Commie.

It won’t change this side of the end of days. It is the nature of our fallen state. So I don’t concern myself with what I wish it were. I deal with what it is and do what I am best able to do within my sphere of influence.

I travel the 48 contiguous states. If there are people, there is danger.

I take paid training and practice what I was taught because it is incumbent upon me to do so if I wish to be effective in defending myself or those I am responsible for should the need arise. What I’ve learned in that training is that under stress, my aim goes to crap. The more training and the more practice I do, the less that is true, but it will always be true to some degree. So all my shots are not likely to be all A-zone or CNS 1-shot stoppers. With a few exceptions, most non-catastrophic malfunctions in a semi-auto pistol can be fixed with a new magazine. The ones that can’t make flight a much more attractive option if at all possible. (In addition, the myth of revolver reliability to the point of being wholly malfunction free, is just plain not true. Revolvers are pretty susceptible to malfunctions from foreign objects in the mechanism. In fact, I would argue that a semi auto pistol is generally more reliable and easier to fix when a malfunction does occur.) Finally, I think we’ve all watched enough shooting breakdown videos to gain the knowledge that one or several rounds aren’t guaranteed to make even one attacker, let alone more than one, stop what they are doing. The practical application of that information leads me to carry a 9mm pistol with a minimum capacity of 10rds (though normally 15) and at least 1 larger spare magazine. So, no. As of the early 20th century a 5 or 6 shot revolver was never enough if you wanted an effective defensive weapon. (Why do you think the ‘New York Reload’ was a thing?) Now, if all you’re after is a talisman to feel prepared, then it’s no worse than any other gun shaped one.

So you start throwing your own. “But Memphis is a ####hole!”

I’ve long maintained that if drinking makes one unsafe with a gun, it’s not the gun that’s the problem.

It was never enough.

Cocaine & Rhinestones is back!!!!

You are correct. It is legal to carry in an establishment that serves alcohol, so long as you are not consuming. When that prohibition was removed, it was changed to a two part test where one has to be in an establishment that serves, and is consuming alcohol. Here is the relevant portion of the Tennessee Code. TCA 39-17-1321 39-17-1321. Possession of handgun while under influence — Penalty. (a) Notwithstanding whether a person has a permit issued pursuant to § 39-17-1315 or § 39-17-1351 or § 39-17-1366, it is an offense for a person to possess a handgun while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance or controlled substance analogue. (b) It is an offense for a person to possess a firearm if the person is both: (1) Within the confines of an establishment open to the public where liquor, wine or other alcoholic beverages, as defined in § 57-3-101(a), or beer, as defined in § 57-6-102, are served for consumption on the premises; and (2) Consuming any alcoholic beverage listed in subdivision (b)(1). (c) (1) A violation of this section is a Class A misdemeanor. (2) In addition to the punishment authorized by subdivision (c)(1), if the violation is of subsection (a), occurs in an establishment described in subdivision (b)(1), and the person has a handgun permit issued pursuant to § 39-17-1351 or §  39-17-1366, such permit shall be suspended in accordance with § 39-17-1352for a period of three (3) years.

It varies. Attachment points can be purchased afterwards or included depending on what you select. Different manufacturers have differing options. The rifle attachment points must match the ones on the sling and are purchased separately. If you decide to go with standard button style QD swivels, I recommend ensuring that they are easily removable/replaceable. Otherwise if the QD point breaks, the sling is broken as well. QD swivels absolutely do wear out and break so ya don’t want to end up having to replace an expensive sling for a $5 part.

I’d say here, But it’s also got a paywall for the classifieds. This is one of those moments that I think it’s appropriate to remind folks of an immutable law of the Internet. If you aren’t paying for a service, you aren’t the customer. You’re the product.

Handguns are hard to shoot well. They take a lot of continuing practice to maintain proficiency. Without it, the skill perishes quickly. Rifles are much easier and more intuitive to shoot. With their 4 points of contact, basic skills are much longer lasting. I don’t get to practice a whole lot because of being gone so often. Every time I get to shoot and train I feel like I’m struggling to reacquire the most basic level of proficiency to even feel comfortable carrying a gun at all. I hate it.

I suspect you’ve found the cause of your perishing skill.
