  1. Since my sheriff Mark Luttrell decided to support the veto:mad: and make inaccurate comments, I fired this off to him.

    Dear Sir,

    Sir, will you make it so that your deputies may not carry a weapon into an establishment that is serving alcohol unless it is in the execution of their duties? By your logic there would be no need for them to need a weapon as there would be no criminals there while they are dining and therefore no need to protect themselves or others. In fact, wasn't one of your deputies recently involved with an illegal shooting in an establishment that serves alcohol. .

    According to the TN AG it is just as illegal for an LEO to carry, on or off duty, in an establishment that serves alcohol unless it is in the execution of law enforcement duties. Having lunch or dinner is not an official duty.

  2. Chief Surpuss is here at Dell today for some meeting. I saw him the the cafeteria and wanted to dress him down a bit, but I figured that wouldn't go over with the bosses too well.

    I was there too. I work for the local gun friendly TV station. Not mentioning any names, but our initials begin with F and end with X. I gave him a bit of static about it. Now he wants to go on about "well intentioned people on both sides... blah blah blah".

    This veto will not stand.

    I still think it's time for an open carry day of protest. One day to show the anti-gunaphobes just how many of us there are.

  3. I've carried an E9 and a K9 for years. Both have been spot on accurate and reliable. Kahr has had issues with the plastic framed guns. Not so with the K series. Besides, the K series is a bit heavier and more robust than the P and CW models. If you get into a fight and run out of ammo, the K is a handful of steel that you can beat the snot out of your attacker with

  4. Who said that .40SW was the only caliber it will come in? :screwy:

    Besides, there are quite a few people shooting Production with bunny-fart .40SW loads with just enough powder to meet minimum spec. The advantage being on the poppers and plates that sometimes 9mm shooters have difficulty knocking over. And there are other games besides USPSA. I can see where IDPA shooters will probably love this gun even more.

    In USPSA, I imagine that Limited-10 and Limited shooters will really love this one the most.

    Limited and L-10 is pretty much dominated by 1911's.

  5. At the end of the day, I feel that the LP is going to have to establish viability from the local level on up, so that's where I work and support the LP. Maybe in my lifetime I'll be able to convince myself to vote for an LP candidate at the national level. I hope so.

    That's the way it works. I think the LP has great potential, it just hasn't resonated with enough of the American electorate.

    Perhaps with the Dems moving farther to the left and the Repubs moving more to the right, albeit to a lesser degree, the LP could find itself being the party for those who shun politics of the extreme.

  6. Im just as upset with the republicans as I am the democrats. Most people have your mentality of the lesser of 2 evils and thats why nothing will ever change in this country old man. If nobody ever threw a "Hissy Fit" why would either party want to change anything. Ill throw a "Hissy Fit" every time a politician is does something I disagree with. THis isnt a communist country.

    Grow up! Neither party will change anything! They say they are about change, only to get your vote. Then go back doing the same old crap. Oh, and that third party, forget it. The old guard is too well entrenched.

    Your "hissy fit" isn't going to change anything.

    Old age and experience beats youth and exuberance.

  7. Why does everyone freak out when someone says they are going to vote third party? I don't get it. Quit complaining and let them vote however they want, because, guess what, Osama is getting elected no matter what. This country wants change and McCain ain't it. Unfortunately most dems don't realize that Obama is going to be terrible for this country. But oh well. It's going to happen, and it's going to be sh*tty.

    Who's freaking out? Not me sonny. I've been shot at and missed, s**t on and hit. In other words, this ain't my first rodeo.

    Go ahead and vote however you wish.

  8. Ill feel guilty voting Dem or Rep so Im probably gonna vote third party which I think alot of people will do this year. I know Im throwing my vote away but maybe it will help these two parties realize how many Americans are pissed off at both of them.

    If your info is correct, this is probably your first time voting in a Presidential election.

    Go ahead and "throw away" your vote kid. All you will be doing is throwing it to the Obama camp.

    Get over your hissy fit and realize that politics is ALWAYS the lesser of evils.

    In this case John McCain is by far the lesser of two evils.

  9. I worked in DC during Reagan, Bush 41 and Clinton. In my job I traveled with the Pres on most every trip, here and abroad. During Clinton the Secret Service was very nervous. The press was used as a buffer on many occasions. Before you guys go saying that the press and Bill should have gotten a round parked in'em. I was one of those guys that would have gotten it. Still at it too.

    The Secret Service are very very good at their jobs, but they will tell you that they only have to drop the ball once. It can happen.

  10. The only way I have found to cut my cost, seriously cut my cost, and still have match grade ammo is to reload my own.

    I was buying Atlanta Arms 9mm 147gr match for $175.00 plus shipping ($20) per 1k rounds. At almost .20 cents a round, and using a fair amount of ammo, I cut my cost down to .09 cents a round by reloading my own match ammo.

    Just my .02 cents worth.

  11. My take on this is that it gives the establishments some cover for insurance purposes, and the ability ask those who might be a problem to leave. I don't really get pissy over the places that post in a manner that isn't legal. I get pissed over the places that do post in a manner that is legal and intends to say that you and your gun are not welcome here.

  12. Every one keeps knocking Kahr about it's "break-in". Any gun you carry should go through a trial and break-in of a minimum of 200 rounds before it is considered "ready for carry". I know Glocks are reliable out of the box, but that "Glock Perfection" thing is just marketing.

  13. Never owned a Glock, don't plan to and probably never will. Kahrs, I've owned two. An E9 that I recently sold and a K9 2003 Elite that is my daily carry. BOTH have been rock solid reliable from the first mag. You all can have your plastic fantastic kaboomers. I'll keep my Kahr, and pretty certain I'll buy more.

    Oh and as to the capacity of a Kahr vs Glock. Since the average firefight is 3-5 rounds, and my Kahr is as accurate as any Glock, not a problem.

    Don't get me wrong, Glocks are a very fine and popular weapons system. Just not something I want.
