I’ve never had good luck with an ankle holster and cowboy boots. It’s either way too high on the leg to be practical or too bulk at the actual ankle to cover the holster. For deep concealment I’ve moved to the PHLster Enigma with a sports belt. I was even able to wear it effectively without a shirt at a water park this summer.

I have a SWFA that I am more than happy with, and it cost like $300 at the time. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but ive found it to be durable and accurate

I’m a tech of the check the prepper box variety, but this is what I’ve found: Ham Radio Crash Course is a great resource and has like minded people. It has a YouTube channel and a discord server. Chirp takes some getting used to, but the ability to clone the radios is great. I have some UV5Rs and a Yeasu 7250 as a mobile unit. Repeaterbook and QZR are good references for finding local repeaters and emergency frequencies to program into the radio. As a rule Better antennas have a better bang per buck than better radios One of the biggest fallacies preparedness aligned people have with radio is we focus on getting the gear, but lack the people to talk to

One thing to keep in mind, those Highway Patrol revolvers were generally N frames with barrels considerably longer than CCW guns, so its not an apples to apples comparison. I fully agree there is a line between defensive and fighting pistols.

Trump enacted more gun control measures on 4 years than Obama did in 8. BUT… He gave us the court that gave us Bruen. I’ll call it a tie. The thing that the Left doesn’t realize when they vilify Trump and the NRA is that they are the moderates…

You can use the permit-less carry provision until the card comes in, but be advised that there are additional restrictions on which locations are legal to carry heres a pretty good graphic from MPD on it. https://memphispolice.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Permitless-Carry-Citizen-Guidance-Leaflet-English2023.pdf

Sounds like you guys have a pretty good start. I would recommend finding a Stop the Bleed course (they are free) for all members. My church lacks an official team, but I have done a few courses on my own. I would highly recommend taking Ed Monk's Active Shooter Response class for anyone in a similar position. It is extremely eye opening and practically oriented.

I will ask around

Like Grayfox said, a "Battle Rifle" to me should be in .308 or equivalent. As for the caliber, what is the intended use? Have because its cool- Doesnt matter. Longer range precision rifle - 6.5 SHTF in an Urban environment- 5.56 SHTF in rural/dual use as a hunting rifle- .308 Outside that, at a certain point, a quality AR is a quality AR... P.S. FYI AR10 platforms dont have quite the same amount of parts commonality as the AR15 variants.

Is it a DA/SA model or DAK?

Glad someone else here reads Ellifritz

Fixed it. I really wanted to respond with the “I award you no points” quote from Billy Madison, so I’ll take that as personal growth.

A gun falling out of, or going off in, your pants counts as printing. FYI.

While that is an SOP that will achieve compliance, it is not necessarily true for private schools. Attached is the text of the applicable law, 49-50-803. Handgun carry policy: https://advance.lexis.com/documentpage/?pdmfid=1000516&crid=2d4c34b8-4bba-4f30-bd0c-508cf1f25ce2&nodeid=ABXAAUAAIAAD&nodepath=%2fROOT%2fABX%2fABXAAU%2fABXAAUAAI%2fABXAAUAAIAAD&level=4&haschildren=&populated=false&title=49-50-803.+Handgun+carry+policy.&config=025054JABlOTJjNmIyNi0wYjI0LTRjZGEtYWE5ZC0zNGFhOWNhMjFlNDgKAFBvZENhdGFsb2cDFQ14bX2GfyBTaI9WcPX5&pddocfullpath=%2fshared%2fdocument%2fstatutes-legislation%2furn%3acontentItem%3a5JVC-WVD0-R03J-X3T5-00008-00&ecomp=8gf5kkk&prid=a427be1d-ebc3-4c9a-b9f2-d95a4cd01017

Private schools have the ability to set their own regulations, so you will need to check with them, but for public schools anything used by a school is considered school grounds, even when out of session
