Because I knew the movie was eye candy, it was awesome. The book was completely different and the way the story was told through the remembrances of interviewees around the world about different stages of WWZ, I knew there was NO way they could make it into a movie. With that understanding, I'm ok with what they were able to do. They kinda replicated the feel of the book by at least travelling around the world to different spots.

Woot! Can't wait. See you guys Saturday morning.

Greetings! Saturday was my first IDPA event and it exceeded all my expectations. I've wanted to take the plunge and start shooting IDPA mainly to increase my gun handling skills in a "stressful" situation and to do something other than stand in front of a paper target at 15yds and fire away, which gets boring. I had an incredibly great time and learned a TON about my shooting - mostly how much more work and practice I need. On that note, it was extremely beneficial to me. I was also able to bring an old comrade (Tony) from my paint balling days who also loves to shoot; I know from talking to him during and after the event he had the same excellent experience I had and is hooked and eager to attend regularly.    As for the MCTS guys and gals who hosted the event, I cannot say enough good things. As a new shooter at the event and event noobie, I was made to feel completely welcome. Everyone was extremely helpful, patient, communicated safety concerns, and just down-right good people that an excellent environment was obvious. That it was done without effort, speaks to the quality and character of the regulars we met. I left feeling confident I could bring any of my friends'n'family and know they would have the same great experience I had. Coming out to a new activity, especially a shooting event, can be intimidating. If anyone has been hesitating to attend IDPA (like me) can rest assured they will have a positive and beneficial experience with the folks of the Music City Tactical Shooters.   Thanks again to everyone who worked to put on the event and create the environment. The stages we awesome. I cannot wait to come back, shoot some more and bring more family and friends. Thanks again MCTS. I'd mention names, but I am sure I would get them wrong and miss some people.   -Kip

Excellent info guys. I will definitely be there this coming 19th. See you guys there and thanks again for all the help and info to get started, I just thought I needed to be classed prior. I'll get out and shoot the 19th and do the classifier Feb 9 and should be good to go. I really looking forward to IDPA shooting - tired of standing and blasting the same target over and over.   Thanks again Kip

Thanks Rickey. I didn't get out of work till 4am, so going to shoot the rest of the morning didn't seem like a good idea :-) I will be at the Feb 9th you posted. Looking forward to getting classed so I can get to shooting some IDPA.   Thanks guys Kip

NVM, I looked it up on the Music City Shooters site. If I am unable to make tomorrow, when would the next classifier be? (New IDPA member)

What time would I need to be there?

I like that the show is addressing the fact that in a zombie apocolypse, humans would be more of a threat to survival than the zombies. Humans can kill from a distance, zombies can't. Humans can also plan, zombies are more Pickett's charge type attacks.

Anything that is not a chain. Why come to a city and eat somewhere you can eat anywhere? Unclejak had the best recommendations. Sambuca is awesome.

I was pulled over in Springfield, TN. The officer asked if I had a gun in the car (I usually hand my CP over with my license) and I said yes, in the glove box. He asked for my license and registration. I told him that those too were in the glove box. He said that is ok. I made sure to keep my hands where he could see them and moved deliberately and slowly (not exaggerated slow) opened the box, got my stuff, closed the box. That was the extent of my dealings with the gun and the officer. I still got a ticket, but no trouble about guns. This is my third stop with a gun and no issues.

Welcome and thanks!

Welcome to TN

I was constantly worried about the 'shirt riding up' thing as well. Now I am far less worried about it.

Power grid is the thing most people take for granted. What would really be a bummer is an EMP attack or an event like the Carrington Event (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859) Something like that would knock out communications and power for weeks to months.
