Welcome to TGO!

I've had somewhere around 200 transactions on Gunbroker and one non-paying bidder is the only problem of any sort I've ever had. Definitely haven't had a problem with Gunbroker themselves.

FTFY. People are retarded.

Welcome!

Unless you're a nonimmigrant alien, I'd think you'd skip it.

Welcome! This should help you out - http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/tgo-forum-support/28387-faq-how-do-i-post-pictures.html

Welcome!

I use facebook quite a bit, but I don't use the plug-in. I don't like facebook in my business on other sites (tirelessly as they may try). I trust TGO. Facebook, not so much.

Welcome to TGO!

Congrats!

People around here kill me. They all rush off to the store at the first mention of snow or ice and buy up every gallon of milk and loaf of bread they can find. Then, when (and if) the foot of snow actually arrives, what do they do? They all get out and drive around in it and run into every damn thing that can possibly be hit. Stay home and drink your milk and eat your freakin' bread!

Welcome!

From what I've heard, you can call them and ask them to stop mailing stuff and they will. I keep meaning to do it.

That was great. And at that MSRP, I have to say that I would get one, too, just for the novelty factor. Thanks for sharing it.

Guess it depends on how big your pockets are...

Most of us "regular" gun buyers around here already have. I stop in there occasionally to fondle some guns since they have a good selection, but almost never buy anything.

Welcome, Russell!

Yeah, assault is out, but I'd say "due care" (55-8-136) would still apply. But like Jamie said, he's still, obviously, following too closely.

Very true, sir. Luckily TN is one of those states with decent laws regarding citizens' arrest, so it's really not much of an issue, but I do wish the non-issue was clearer!

6-54-301 is the "one-mile" stuff. Can't find an email address for one of the law instructors, but I got into a conversation with another officer who is a little closer to remembering the academy days than myself. He said the way it was explained is this- TCA 40-7-101 says that arrests may be made by the following persons; (1) an officer with a warrant, (2) an officer without a warrant, (3) a private person. Officer is defined throughout TCA (person employed by any municipality or political subdivision of the state of Tennessee whose primary responsibility is the prevention and detection of crime, and the apprehension of offenders). There's no exclusion to an officer's powers of arrest under 40-7-101 based on jurisdiction, on or off-duty status, etc. Therefore, it's generally considered that the lack of restrictions is legislative intent to allow LEOs to retain powers at all times and in all places within the state. Makes sense to me. If you look at White V. Revco Discount Drug Centers Inc. (2000), the court ruled that in Tennessee, police officers have the "full panoply of 'official' police powers even when they are off-duty". This case was in regards to a Knoxville officer making an arrest while he was off-duty. Not quite the same issue we have at hand, but it falls under the same general umbrella of criminal procedure. This reminds me of people coming to the forum to ask "where in state law does it say I can carry a gun into a bank?" Well, it doesn't, but it doesn't say anywhere that you cannot. Kinda the same situation. Nowhere in TCA does the legislature seem to restrict police powers for LEOs. One might argue that the "one mile" rule hints to it, but then again, the law never refers to officers, but to the powers of the municipality itself (municipal courts hearing cases, collecting fines, etc.?). One thing we can all agree with... clearer TCA would be great.

Yeah, sounds a little odd to me, too. It goes against everything I've ever been taught. I'm trying to find an email address for one of the law instructors I had in the academy here. This has me rather intrigued now.

Hmm. Sounds gray either way. The only thing I'm curious about, though, is how the "police team" doctrine would apply to officers outside their jurisdiction. I'm not at home at the moment, but search the Tenn AG opinions for the term "police team doctrine". There was an opinion issued in the last few years that, from what I recall, makes me wonder if jurisdiction matters one way or the other as long as an officer of the jurisdiction does the paperwork. Or maybe I'm forgetting an important part of the puzzle.

It'll come with apostrophes and everything!

Hell, I can't hold a gun with a dime on the front sight, let alone try to pull the trigger...
