This is distinction I've been harping about in the other threads on park carry. Notice that the deference in 1359 to 1311 does not contain the same list of places contained in 1311. 1359 only defers to 1311 for the grounds of any public park, natural area, historic park, nature trail, campground, forest, greenway, waterway or other similar public place that is owned or operated by the state, a county, a municipality or instrumentality thereof. 1311 specifically lists the grounds of any public park, playground, civic center or other building facility, area or property owned, used or operated by any municipal, county or state government, or instrumentality thereof, for recreational purposes. Notice that 1359 does not mention civic centers or other building facilities and does not include the recreational purposes phrase. Amptheaters, zoos, stadiums, etc. don't fit any of the properties listed in 1359 unless they are in fact public parks. They aren't natural areas, campgrounds, greenways, etc., they are not parks in the traditional sense of an open green space, and they are usually not open to the public the way a regular park is because they charge admission. I don't know that admission charging can change whether something is or isn't a park. The National Park Service and some states charge admission to many of their parks, but they're still parks. To me it's clear that carrying in any of these gov'mt owned/operated places is no longer a violation of 1311, but it's unclear if 1359 would apply or not.

  They're both right. Without 1307 saying it's ilegal, then it's OK, which makes dawgdoc right. But because 1307 exists, then you have a myriad of exceptions and defenses, OhShoot is right.   In Tennessee with regard to firearms laws, the philosophical approach expressed by dawgdoc is not the safest way to go about things. You don't go looking for firearms laws in TN saying you can't do something and if it doesn't exist then you can. 1307 more or less slams that door and means you have to go looking for things which the law says you  can do.

  Yep. Always remember that 39-17-1307 says it's a crime to carry a firearm. 1308 provides a defense to prosecution for certain people (HCP holders included) but that doesn't mean you're not techincally breaking a law. If your firearm is spotted, an officer can absolutely stop you for violating 1307. When you produce your HCP for the officer, 1308 applies and you'll be released.   As far as the car thing goes, you'll find that in 39-17-1307 section ( e). That's where it basically extends "Castle Doctrine" to a vehicle. No permit required. However, posted parking lots would still be off-limits to permit holders, except that 39-17-1313 specifically grants permit holders access to posted parking lots.

Yep, but I'll bite.   TCA can be found here. It's pretty well updated, but sometimes a brand new law or change to an existing law can take a few weeks to be published there: https://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/tncode/   Weapons laws are generally under 39-17-13, but because an HCP is a defense to a violation of a law, you have to "stack" them to see how they all work together. 39-17-1307 is where it's against the law to carry a firearm. 39-17-1308 is the list of defenses to 1307 (essentially people or situations to whom 1307 doesn't apply). It lists persons permitted under 39-17-1351 as in its special group of people. 39-17-1351 is the HCP portion which describes who can get one and how to do it.   There's more to it as you can see by looking at just how many statutes are under the 39-17-13 section, but it's late and I'm tired. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to fill in the gaps and expound on that.

  Not exactly. The new law only cites athletic facilities/fields in use by a school. Unless Memphis in May is held on the baseball diamond, schools being there in an official capacity are irrelevant.

They have some neat photos on their FB page showing the new sign being installed and all lit up (it's neon), plus some of the demo/construction work being done inside.   https://www.facebook.com/pages/Regal-Range/722224137854454

  I quit using hammers years ago. I finally got smart and upgraded to a gas-powered auger.

  I want to "like" this twice.

  FIFY!

Perfecta .308 is in stock at the West Nashville Wally, but it's now $13.98 a box so I suspect they'll have plenty for a while. :cry:

Have tent, will travel.

  Invite your friendly neighborhood monkeylizard over to walk you through it. :)   I'd be glad to help you assemble the parts and look over your shopping list for completenesss before you buy anything.

In general, it's no longer possible to build one for less than you can buy one and end up with a comparable box.   I use www.tomshardware.com to compare parts, especially CPUs, GPUs, and drives. They have lots of benchmarks and several guides including some for best parts for gaming rigs. You'll find there's usually a significant price drop once you move off the latest model of CPU or GPU. I'd drop down a level on the CPU and spend as much as possible on the GPU. Today's CPUs are so far ahead of the stuff from just a few years ago that the games are no longer CPU bound, generally speaking, but still benefit from top end graphics cards. RAM is cheap, so load it up.   SSD drives rock! Defnitely put your OS on one of those.   I usually get my parts from TigerDirect, Fry's, NewEgg, and occasionally Amazon.

  My comment was about the revised bill. I see no point in it. I agree that the original bill is more than just a symbolic statement.

Charlie allows it at CHMR, but asks it to stay in short bursts to keep muzzle climb from sending rounds over the berm. His range goes to 100 yards.

Do we really need a law that says "we won't spend money to do things that are against our laws"? I sort of thought that's why we have those laws to begin with.

An ammosexual? Is that someone who makes love to his 1911?

A mango mangler?

  I think you just solved the mystery of saggy pants. It's not a fashion statement, it's the C9's fault.

  If that holster was included then it doubled the value, so yeah, good score :up:

Thanks for the great replies. JeffL and I are going to try to get together for this. If our schedules won't play well, I'll take one of you other guys up on it.

Free float. It's a Samson Evolution using a standard barrel nut. Do you have the special vise block needed for the TGO uppers? The clamshell ones apparently don't work, but the ones with the pins do.
