It still has all the barrel weights, those get lost do easily.

I have been in a ACE before that sold guns and almost bought a LCP for $279 at that. I do remember my dad buying some CCI Stingers at the ACE in East Ridge as a kid.

The Walmart in Brainerd had a lot of rifle ammo(no.223) some .40 SD ammo and some .357 Sig practice ammo. This was on Super Bowl Sunday.

Thats a good point, but unfortunately I don't think too many are interested in guns. I have a much younger brother that is 21 and I am amazed at how broke his generation is. Most have jobs, if you call it that. It's kind of sad because in my 20's I had more money than I have now. I had a lot of toys. I was also in the military and making bank.

Truthfully, it's about 4 years too late. Ruger and Keltec have filled so many pockets and purses with products there isn't to many left wanting to buy. I think Kahr could have racked in he money with cm380's/9/40/45 a lot earlier. Instead they have some expensive models that 95% of gun buyers care nothing about, a TP45 for example.

I seem to think we have less bank robberies. I'm not going to go into details since its to my advantage with a wife in banking and me myself in law enforcement but their are some great techniques nowadays to capture bank robbers. It's very rare to not close a bank robbery case nowadays.

Without looking I had presumed that 30rd magazines were already illegal. Per 2012 even the police were limited to 15rd magazines.

I have most of those items on his list because I bought the Lee Anniversary kit. I have been ver happy with it. I paid about $130 for it. I had been planning to go to a digital scale but after seeing how close my Lee balance scale was another scale I am sticking with it. The RCBS starter kit comes with some great stuff and is only about $300. To reload .223 you are also going to need a way to trim your cases.

Deleted conversation.

To my understanding.

It's standardized across all banks to not interfer and just give them what they want. Normally they just pass a note asking for $2k. Give it to them and just be a good witness. The money is insured anyway. Only put up a struggle if and when it is evident that someone's life is about to be taken. It's become common knowledge that a not is all tha is needed, no reason to even have a weapon. It's honestly so much better this way. The FBI has a tremendous case closure rate when it comes to bank robberies, slowly the amount of them is starting to decreases year to year. My grandfather always shared a story about a bank robbery in downtown Chattanooga back in the 60's. Apparently the FBI office was on the second floor above the bank. I don't remember how it went down but it was believed that a agent walk right through the lobby not even realizing what was going on.

I talked with a guy while I was on patrol a while back and interesting enough the church paid for their armed guard class just to find out they were operating illegally. They were better off as plain clothes armed citizens for insurance purposes. Like I mentioned earlier there is the cost of the proper TN Commerce License and providing the insurance bond. Technically, for a church to have a armed security officer they have to have a security buisness or hire a buisness. Armed civilians in TN can just go to church and be themselves. Some counties in TN, Bradley County for example, have deputized for the sole purpose of church protection.

Another note is you would be limited to TN only. As far as I know.

I had a friend a few years ago that wanted to start a security buisness to check a few car lots at night. After fees and insurance it was going to cost about $5000 a year.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I know they enter banks and malls that are properly posted daily, but I was curious if just being state licensed and under bond was an exclusion.

I was asked today with Armed couriers, specifically money couriers, how they are capable doing their job and not conflicting with legal anti-carry signs. Obviously the property owners would have to be willing to prosecute. I find it hard to believe they are only at the mercy of anticipating property owners will not seek prosecution. So here is one of the ultimate questions. A Brinks messenger has a money pickup inside a school, are they breaking the law?

Well, he probably has a gas mask anyway since he is a prepper.

The majority of my equipment is Lee but I have used a lot of RCBS equipment. Maybe if I get a chance to use Dillon equipment I will have a different opinion but until then, Lee equipment does great and saves money for the bottom line reason I reload. I reload to shoot more. I don't own a safe full of guns because I reload, I reload because I own guns. I fully believe Dillon makes great equipment because that is all I hear. If I were shooting only 9mm and 10's of thousands of them a year, I would have a progressive press or a turret press. Since I am only doing a few hundred a year of about 6 or less calibers the single stage is actually better. I may be wrong but I see a single stage, especially if your using bushings to change dies, more multi caliber friendly.

If you have ever lived in Alabama you would have a bunker also. Mostly for the daily tornados but I constantly needed a place to escape the idiots.

It sure is. I am able to produce with a single stage press a lot more ammo than I can afford to make and shoot anyway.

Kids are found with all types of weapons at school claiming they are just trying to defend themselves. I actually believe most only have the intentions of using them for self defense, very likely their assailant will be armed. Regardless our schools are a deadly place because we have let values and morals escape our country. I feel drugs are the number 1 contributing factor but terrible parenting is where it all starts.

" two (2) or more times within ten (10) years from the date of application and that none of such convictions has occurred within five (5) years" He had one in 04 and another in 06, both are within 10yrs. Once he got sentenced for the second one he is in eligible for 5yrs from that date. You got your second one in 2006 but when did you get sentenced?

Weird, but when I lived in Hawaii Pabst Blue Ribbon was premium brew and people bought it.

Yeah, USAA is pretty awesome.

FWIW, Suntrust has released a memorandum before saying branches were not to take action limiting the rights for customers and employees to be legally armed. However, employees are expected to give no resistance unless absolutely necessary in the event of a robbery. Essentially for employees it's a don't ask don't tell environment. Edit: there is a PDF file online stating employees are not to bring guns, explosives, knives, and etc. without permission. It's apparently not too important to them though because no one in the branches know of it.
