  Forget the black panther. I'm still trying to find the donuts!

I'd crash that car three times!

  Not even close to the same thing.   The state writes the laws. They publish them in some way. LexisNexis (and others) collect that up and publish it for a fee. I had no problem with that when TN.gov printed books and LN digitized them and provided regular updates to their subscribers. That's a value added service and they should be paid for it. Today, the state has already digitized the law entries. There's no clerk in the bottom of the Snodgrass building with an old typewriter. Every part of this process is done on computers. Whatever the state is creating that LN and others are gathering to publish could just as easily be gathered and distributed via the TN.gov website. I'd just about bet dollars to donuts that the state distributes the whole shebang out in an XML file or similar. If they're still printing paper books, that should be stopped and the cost used to create a front-end for browsing the content.   Or make the raw file available on the website. I'd take that over no public access at all.

  I think the word they're looking for is "threatened", not "trained" and even then it's wrong. It doesn't have to be you personally. Lethal force can be employed inside your own car to protect the life of another.     I understand what the guy is trying to say, but he says it so poorly that this whole story became a giant train wreck of misinformation and partial facts.   Ever? Really? He can't envision a scenario where someone is standing outside a glass patio door aiming a firearm at the resident through the glass? But they should wait until the perp shoots out the glass then shoot back? No? Wait, what? The resident needs to wait until the perp steps over the threshold? Umm.....no. That is incorrect. No soup for you!   As OS said, imminent and reasonable are the critical words.

Who cares?

I suppose I think that maybe the TN.gov site should have them all available. They are after all, the people who write them. In this day of self-publshing, surely they can figure that out how to make an e-book or PDF. I suppose it made sense back in ye-olden days to outsource the print publishing and let the publisher charge for their product, but not today.

Then you get popped in the chin when your extracurricular activities jar the catch loose?  :D

$810 as of 2:44 Central.   Notice that this gun has their "Make an Offer" option. That almost always means Bud's will sell it for less than the posted price. Try entering $775 and see what it says, then come up in $5 jumps if they don't accept, or go down if they do accept. Eventually you'll find their lowest price. If you use all your tries, just log out and clear your browser's cache and start again where you left off.

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.
