Good story. Love hearing about parents teaching youngins about firearms at an early age.

Your lucky, back a few years ago it took like 6 months.

That is a switchblade and is illegal to go armed with. It doesn't say that it has open vertically from the handle.

They replaced it with the Ford interceptor. Doesn't look too bad but as with any new vehicle will take a few years to work the bugs out.

That is good and gets the point across. Only thing I would probably do is take out the gunbuster at the beginning and maybe reword that to something different. Good job on it.

I don't have an issue with it being in Nashville if it wasn't so trashy. I wish it was a better condition and they were able to keep the trouble out but they can't and it won't change anytime soon. Yes the state capital would be the ideal spot for a state fair but the condition of the capital of our state is going down the toilet.

The state fair is held on Metro Nashville property not TN state property. I didn't stay long at all when I went will probably not go back unless it's held somewhere outside of Nashville.

Spring assisted knives are legal. Just make sure your blade isn't over 4 inches lol.

You can't carry at TN State Fair. If I remember correctly the fair is posted but probably improper. They were using metal detector wands to scan everybody. They keep a few Metro PD at the gate so no go for the handgun. I went either last year or year before and had to get one of the on duty officer's to tell the guy at the front gate I was good to enter with my handgun. You won't miss much if you don't go. After sunset it get's infested with thugs and gangs.

I believe somebody else brought this up not too long ago. I think they determined they needed dd214 with training record of handgun training. It wouldn't hurt to take the class if your not familiar with the state laws but the class is made for average joe off the street to pass. I would call down to TDOS to get the answer straight from them.

I feel I don't deserve any thank you for the job I do. Now the men and women serving in the military on the other hand deserve to hear that day after day. My point is there are say 700,000 LEO in the U.S. but you have one run in with one idiot or see a news story and then blam out comes the negativity to whole field. I'm not here to change anyone's opinion but like you all I come to this forum also to unwind, see firearms related topics, and see what goodies are for sale. To the OP I'm glad you had a positive interaction and sorry I hijacked your thread.

That's funny. Have you seen the Betty White video from that NPR skit. Hulu - Saturday Night Live: NPR

About as rare as finding a TGO member without something negative to say about Law Enforcement in general.

I would have to told them to go pound sand.

That sounds about right. Lol. Seriously though control of the vehicle is all that is needed and control doesn't mean operation. I don't jack with the people sleeping in their vehicle the way I see it was they were smart enough not to get on the road and be a danger.

If you are incapacitated and the weapon is taken from you at scene I take it to the police department and lock it up in the armory for sake keeping. When you get ready stop by and sign the property release and you got your gun back. If you make it to the hospital they have safes and will probably have their hospital security lock it up. I have had to secure weapons from a crash scene and have had my weapon secured by hospital staff while being treated either one worked like it should.

Got ya, it is hard sometimes to understand someone's tone or point they are trying to get across just by typed chat in a forum.

That statement is full of ****. Really going to start playing that card. I've met several black citizens with HCP along with several white citizens with HCP doing my job. Guess what the color of their skin doesn't mean anything. Certain people looking for an excuse want to say that crap.

The way he has ordered ICE not to deport anybody but violent felons I would dare say he isn't going anywhere.

I have owned both and liked them. Had a bad experience with the bolt shearing in half on the mini 30. I never had one problem with the mini14 but either one will do the job.

They need to take a few more nightsticks against some heads over there. There has to be some kind of order , you can't just let these fools run wild ruining other lives.

Krasis PM if you would like. I have a good understanding of the drug seizure policies and laws. I have done several myself.

First thing you should be concerned about is your family. As bad as it is to see someone else die or dead could you really stand to have a loved one in that condition? Me personally since I don't shop with a family I will probably pull the trigger depending on the risk of third parties. I have came close to pulling the trigger on the job and the only reason I haven't is because of the people or area behind my target. You may hit the suspect and stop his actions but say another round strikes an innocent third party that one stray round will wash away the good one in the eyes of many.

I could be wrong but I believe it's part of Fort Negley park hence the same address.

Just a suggestion for you guys. Please if you are involved in a shooting and you make the call yourself tell the dispatchers your description and clothing. We have many great dispatchers but sometimes they get amped up like everybody else and will not ask. I would like to know that ahead of arriving at your scene.
