  I don't think that's correct. 39-17-1308 allows for carrying at a person's place of business, but that doesn't extend to anyone else who may have property owner's permission. These strip malls are not the places of business of these citizens standing guard. Even with permission, I don't think this is legal with long guns. Right, maybe, but not legal.

  You can shoot at your buddy's place because 39-17-1308 says it's OK to have loaded firearms "incident to lawful hunting, trapping, fishing, camping, sport shooting or other lawful activity".

  I don't see how that's relevant. 39-17-1308 provides defenses to being armed. Being on private property isn't one of them unless it's your private property.

There's a Shipley Do-Nuts in Donelson on Lebanon Rd. close to Briley Pky. They make theirs fresh. I'm not a big fan of them myself, but I know people who love them. Fox's Donut Den in Green Hills makes all of theirs fresh too. They're good and they have a nice variety. It's a Nashville institution. For my money, it's hard to beat Krispy Kreme when that sign is lit up.

http://www.scrippsmedia.com/newschannel5/news/Armed-Volunteers-Guard-Army-Recruitment-Centers-In-Clarksville-318036681.html   Blake Farmer on WPLN (Nashville's NPR) had this to say. http://nashvillepublicradio.org/post/self-appointed-guardians-military-recruiting-centers-plan-stay-long-it-takes. I know his liberal head wants to explode, but he did a decent job of telling the side of the men standing guard. His choices of quotes does leave me with a bit of a mall-ninja feeling about the whole thing though.   I'm specifically wondering about them being armed with long guns. I'm pretty sure that's not legal here in TN. Am I correct on that?   Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating the local DA or LEO fine or arrest anyone over it, just curious.

  Did you just declare war on East Nashville hipsters? If so, I'm in!

I'd bet a nickle that this would have ended differently if he wasn't armed. I'm sorry he got hit, but I still chalk this one up as a win.

Because that would make Joe Biden into Mr. President. I don't think a VP has ever served so well as impeachment insurance in the history of this country.

Tell them you use an IBM Selectric. Does that run Windows?

  FIFY!

I wonder what would happen if you filled a hot tub up with this stuff, I mean besides porn producers wanting to rent your place on Air BnB.

Wal-Mart is almost always the cheapest, but the inventory is hit and miss.   It's not Smyrna, but when I stopped at the new Royal Range in Bellevue, they were loaded up with just about everything and the prices were quite good on most ammo.

That's a realtor snake. If my wife saw that in our yard, I'd be calling a realtor.

Looking good. +1 to a work surface. I like that idea. Could you work up a bracket to hold a toolbox in place, but the bracket could be removed (or fold away) to clear out the whole surface for a work area if needed?

I'm just givin' ya some crap.  :D

The chart Bud linked to is out of date. You can always get it directly from Glock's site.   https://us.glock.com/products/all   The numbering is just sequential. There's no connection at all between the numbering and the caliber or frame size. It's about when they were released. G17 was the 17th design by Gaston and the first one actually produced outside the test lab. G18 was next (full auto version of a 17) followed by the smaller G19, then he branched out to 10mm and the next number up was 20, so it was the G20. Repeat ad nauseum until you get to where we are today with a Competition-sized .45 ACP (G41), a pocket .380 ACP (G42) and the single-stack small 9mm (G43) and you see that there's no connection.   Look at them long enough and you'll memorize a few of them, but only a die hard fan would know them all.

Did I mention that they have a semi-auto Ma Deuce on a tripod in there? If you're looking for one, they have it. :usa:

They have a floor plan posted by the front door. They'll have a 60 yard range with 10 or 11 lanes rated up to .50, a range with 180 degree firing lines for training, a classroom with the theater seating, a range with shorter lanes (15-20 yds IIRC), an archery range, and a room for force-on-force with simmunitions. That last one has me intrigued for sure. I've never done it and have always thought it would be (1 ) a great way to train and (2 ) just plain fun.

I stopped by yesterday. They're loaded up with lots of ammo, various mags, Magpul tacticool add ons, cleaning kits/supplies, etc. Prices on most stuff was a little higher than on-line, but not by a lot. Nice shop area with plenty of space. Lots of guns too. Firearm prices seemed generally competitve with what I've seen in other LGS.

Don't need an HCP for that. It's legal for anyone (not otherwise prohibited) to carry a loaded firearm in a personal vehicle in Tennessee now.   Besides that, it was never the case that you needed an HCP to have a round chambered in a handgun but could otherwise have a handgun loaded w/o chambered.   I think you may be confusing the long-gun change that came along with the vehicle carry change. Prior to the 2014 change to 39-17-1307 (e ) allowing loaded firearms (handguns, rifles, and shotguns) in vehicles w/o HCP, HCP holders had to have an empty chamber on their long guns in their cars. Now anyone not otherwise prohibited can have a loaded firearm (not just handgun) in their vehicle.      

12:37am is "late as balls"? Are you sure you're a college student?   :D

  Why? If there's no sign (or one simply saying "no illegal weapons", why would it be illegal to carry there? Courthouses are NOT off limits by TCA. That's a common misconception. 39-17-1306 doesn't ban carry in courthouses. It bans weapons from any room where a judicial proceeding is occuring. You can carry in a courtroom if court is not in session and you can't carry in a McDonald's if a judge is there presiding over something in an official judicial capacity. Since there are many rooms in a county courthouse where a judge is NOT running a judicial proceeding, all of those rooms would be OK to carry. Since the building's entrances are currently posted, no carry is allowed under 39-17-1359, but not because it's a courthouse.
