How convenient for us lowly citizens to not have easy access to the laws we're supposed to obey.

You're right, unfortunately.

  Got a link to that? I can't find that on TN.gov or LexisNexis.

  I'd say in nearly every case, that is wronger than a wrong thing that is incorrect. I suppose some city somewhere may have that exception, but I'd be surprised to see it.   https://www.municode.com/library/tn/metro_government_of_nashville_and_davidson_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CD_ORD_TIT11PUPEMOWE_DIVIGERE_CH11.12OFAGPUPE_11.12.080DIWE   That's Nashville's ordinance.

https://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/tncode/ 55-9-107   I don't know where or if the Dept of Safety publishes any additional regulations online, or if there are any, or of the DoS is empowered to make any.

Anyone else notice that they get bullets at the tire store up there?

  That's incorrect.   TCA 55-9-107 says 35% on all windows is the limit. Windshield can have 70% applied. 55-9-107 says the manufacturer's shade strip can be darker than 70%, but doesn't say tint can't be applied below that line as some states prohibit. There could be a DoS regulation about that though.

  It may make no difference to the TWRA*, but discharging a firearm inside most city limits is a no-no, with self defense being the only exception.           *Then again, it might. There's no law that says it's OK, but there are laws that say it's not OK to take a deer out of season and without the proper license/permits. Those make no exceptions for putting down an injured animal. It's at the TWRA's discretion, I suppose. Still, it's usually the right thing to do even if it isn't always the legal thing to do.

Post your best pirate pick-up lines here.     Arrrrrrggh ye free Friday night?

Who's the most popular guy at a nudist colony?   The one who can carry two cups of coffee and a dozen donuts.     Who's the most popular woman at a nudist colony?   The one who can eat the last donut.

A big +1 to Trekbike and JeffL for helping out with this. I have a couple of more things to do on it tonight and it will be done. I'll get some pics up as soon as it's ready.

Same here. My first expensive kitchen knife was a Shun 8" Chef's knife. It's Damsacus steel, looks great, and functions even better. I'll never go back to cheap knives in the kitchen again.   sybo, that knife looks like a miniature samurai sword. :up:

  Well, 1359, actually. 1359 section (d ) defers to 1311 for parks, greenways, etc., but makes no mention of deferring to it for places like museums, community centers, arenas, etc. That means, IMO, that such places could still be posted and carrying past the posting would be a violation of 1359, even though it's (probably) no longer a violation of 1311 since the recent law change. One could possibly argue, at least in some instances, that such places fall within a park and are part of a public park so 1359 would defer to 1311, but that's not always the case and may or may not hold sway with a judge even in those places where a normal person would think it would.   Others have a different opinion and read 1359(d )'s deferral to apply to all places listed in 1311. I personally don't see that, but to each his own.

  Yes, TN honors your MA LTC. You have 6 months from the time you move here to get a TN HCP (handgun carry permit). Until then your MA LTC is equal to a TN HCP. In TN, you can carry open or concealed. The choice is yours. That's true with your out of state MA license (for 6 months) as well as for your TN HCP once you get it.   https://www.tn.gov/safety/handgunmain.shtml

Yep. 2 people killed, actually. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/12/17/canada-ducklings-highway-fatal-court/20513845/   She faced life in prison, but was ultimately sentenced to 90 days in jail and a 10 year ban on driving. Plus the 90 days will be served on weekends, so it's kind of like getting detention for 2 counts of negligent homicide.

If you have time, look into doing a sea kayak tour of the caves at La Jolla. Several outfitters in La Jolla for that. May be further out than you want to go though.   I was kidding about Tijuana. It's very much not safe there these days. I wouldn't go.

In Russia, he rides up front.

Yeah, that's the more likely reality of the situation, but by the letter of the law, I think it's probably worse than shooting it (assuming outside city limits) if an overzealous LEO decided to charge with anything and everything.   I suspect that the reality is that for the most part TWRA is probably OK with it, they just can't say so in public. I suspect they may get a little more attentive if you're both putting it down and claiming the carcass.

  Maybe, but it may actually make things worse. Page 16 of the 2014 Hunting and Fishing guide lists the tools which may be used in hunting and specifically says that anything not listed is not allowed. A knife is not listed, so you'd (by the letter of the law) be hunting out of season from a roadway (possibly w/o the proper permits too), and now you'd be adding on a charge for using an unlawful device. http://www.binghamgroup.com/twra/hunt-trap-guide2014/   That's by the letter of the law, of course. In reality, I suspect things play out much differently.

  In reality, that's probably how it's going to play out nearly every time. But from a letter-of-the-law perspective, it's no bueno.

  Where did you hear that?   You can collect the meat yourself as long as you notify TWRA or local LEO within 48 hours, but only if the deer was killed by the accident. The law makes no room for a deer that was shot after the accident. http://www.tn.gov/twra/faqmain.html

By law, it's ilegal and a TWRA issue. You're taking a deer out of season and/or from a roadway, possibly w/o a license w/ big game permit.   The reality is that you're taking a risk and it will all depend on if LEO (incl. TWRA) get involved and how the responding officer decides to handle it. It could be fine, or it may not be.

We liked Old Town.   Don't forget to find an In-N-Out burger while you're there.

3 words:   Tijuana Donkey Show               Seriously though, +1 to the USS Midway. You could catch a Padres game if they're in town. Coronado's a nice place, but it's a mile and a half walk from the ferry stop on Coronado over to the beach and the Hotel Del Coronado. You may be able to hail a cab there at the nearly abandoned shopping center at the ferry stop on Coronado.

Since you're in MJ, the closest is going to be the Gallatin Gun Club, but it's private, so members and their guests only. They have a waiting list. If you're going to be in M.J. for a while, I suggest you look into it. They have a 300 yard range plus 2 trap stands. Send an email to ronjackson@comcast.net to get on the waiting list.   http://www.gallatingun.com/
