  That's not possible. The law and the signs prevent that.         [/sarcasm]

  +1 to this.   This only applies to STATE parks. The signs were left up because to force the park service to change them would have required a fiscal note to be attached to the bill. That tends to be a poison pill for gun bills. To get the law changed to allow carry in state parks, the backers of the bill had to avoid a fiscal note. Basically the old signs stay up until they need to be replaced, then the new signs will omit the "no firearms" langauge. The existing signs have no force of law.

He'll start watching Breaking Bad in 2017.

  State Parks are OK. In Nashville that's going to be the Bicentennial Mall and Radnor Lake. Metro-Nashville parks are all off limits, for now. Watch this space for an update. A bill has passed the house and senate to change that. Now they need to reconcile a variation in their bills (then probably override a veto). It would make carry in all state and local parks legal as long as a school event isn't occuring there. It could go into effect before the NRA convention. Federal land (TVA, Corps of Engineers, etc.) have their own rules.   We know for sure that the circle-slash "gunbuster" has the force of law to ban carry wherever it's posted, and any sign with some specific verbage that cites TCA-39-17-1359 also have the force of law. The law doesn't say if a non-conforming sign (one that just says "No guns allowed" for example) has the force of law or not, and there's no case law, so we truly don't know about those.   The only places off-limits without having to post are penal institutions, schools, and a room with an active judicial proceeding. Since this is a thread on visiting for the NRA convention, I suspect those are irrelevant, plus they sometimes have their own odd nuances regarding permit holders and/or what is and isn't a weapon.

  That's jumping the gun. Has to pass both house and senate in an identical format. The earliest the House can take it up is Monday the 6th.   I suspect Yarbro added that amendment as a poison pill, not realizing the conservatives would say "sounds good to us!". Or he could be smarter than I give him credit. If the bill as amended gets through the House, that will make it more likely to see our RINO governor pull out his veto stamp. If he does that it goes back to the legislature to override it. Given the vote tally this time around, a veto is not really anything more than the governor expressing his displeasure. The override should be a slam dunk, but you never know with a bunch of politicians.     X-post with Worriedman

  She lost her son and her husband in just a couple of days. I'd say that's more than just a fraction. From the family perspective, she has lost as much as they have, but in the big picture she hasn't had to simultaneously deal with starvation, walkers, living on the run with walkers all around, Woodbury, walkers, Terminus, more walkers, Atlanta hospital, more walkers, a 700 mile journey and more walkers, all the while trying to keep a group together who themselves are also losing loved ones,....and caring for a baby.

  It's the other way around. Tomatoes will take over and shade out the stuff within a foot or two of them, maybe more depending on the variety. I'm going to try something a little different this year. I'm going to put the tomoatoes in food-grade plastic buckets. Then I can move them around to provide shade on the edges of the raised beds as needed without sacrificing 6+ squares per plant.

Cats are known to do that.

Working on this show has to be a dream come true for the FX guys. Making that walker head explode and gush out from the eyes and mouth all over Rick had to be extremely satisfying.

Lennie James said on The Talking Dead that Morgan has lost his wife and his son. Rick Grimes is the only person he knows in the whole world. That's why he went looking for him. He has no place else to be and nobody else to go to.   He played it close the vest about what's in store for next season, but confirmed he's in at least one episode and hinted there may be a backstory episode showing how Morgan got from crazy town to where he is now.

  I'll hold off for the spin offs of the spin off like The Walking Dead: New Orleans or The Walking Dead: Miami

  FIFY!

Proper punctuation would be helpful in interpreting that post. Do I understand correctly that you're saying a TN resident with a TN HCP must abide by TN laws when out of state? If so, that's wronger than a wrong thing that is incorrect.

It was Pete. Rick pivoted away from Deanne and Reg. Pete was being held down by the entrance to the courtyard. As soon as Rick fired, he looks up and sees Morgan right in front of him, who would have been standing just outside the entrance with Darryl and Aaron.   Rick didn't just execute Jessie's husband, he also executed Ron and Sam's father. I guess Carol and Carl get to deal with that aftermath.

It's on the Senate calendar for tomorrow (4/1) and the House calendar for today (3/30).   E-mail sent to my senator and rep, though I don't think it will do much good. Sen Dickerson is likely to support this bill as he has been generally favorable towards other gun bills AFAIK. Rep. Mitchell is a lost cause to me.

  Yep. I went back and re-watched the scene. Right after Darryl goes all Ghost Rider with the chain, Aaron climbs out from under the trailer. The zed grabs him by the backpack, Darryl saves him, and they run off without the backpack.   Not sure why he'd have those photos in his bag though. ISTM that you'd only take essentials in that small of a bag for a multi-day outing.

I have mowed the lawn 3 times so far this year. Haven't spilled a drop. I love these cans. Filling the mower from the 1-gallon can is bliss compared to those stupid communist cans.

  An XDs .45, or a wife that says "just go buy another gun."?   I'd like to know where to find the later.

  The Alan Jackson/Jeff Foxworthy concert (need a paid ticket) is at the Bridgestone on Saturday night. Almost everything else is at the Music City Center.   There's a free concert on Friday night outdoors on Broadway feat. Hank Williams Jr. No ticket required.

  This. You can "stockpile" certain calibers and not have to do that for every one you have. I've been looking at adding a .357 to the mix, but it wouldn't require a stockpiling. I doubt I'd ever keep more than a couple hundred rounds of .38/.357 if I take that plunge. Same with 7.62x25 if I ever break down and give in to the need for a Tokarev, or 7.62x38R if a Mosin M1895 revolver follows me home some day. I only shoot .308 for deer season so I only keep about 100 rounds of ball for sighting in and a box of hunting rounds. That should last me several years (or my whole life if last season is a condemnation of my hunting skills). If for some reason any of those calibers become scarce, then I'll just shoot other calibers where I have a little more in reserve.

That's correct.   Bridgestone is not posted with gunbusters or the langauage spelled out in the TCA. It's just the arena's policy. They enforce it depending on the event. They pretty much wand everyone for Predators games, and IIRC wanded for the Monster Jam monster trucks. I've been for concerts here they did not wand and for concerts where they did. I think in those cases it may be up to the event promoter to decide if they want to pay for the extra "security" personnel or not.   The Music City Center is likelwise not posted but has a no weapons policy which they're suspending for the duration of the NRA convention.

He seemed OK at the end of the fall season. He had at least left the town and was presumably searching for Rick when he found the church and the map.

  Not really. Though comparably sized guns in .380 and .45 should give you several extra rounds in the .380 chambering. Same as 9mm vs .45.   That said, I personally don't have a purpose for a .380 larger than the P3AT/LCP pocket guns. Anything bigger than that gets you into Kahr PM9/CM9 and S&W Shield territory. If I'm going to take the size/weight increase from an LCP/P3AT, I'll take 9mm with many more options in ammunition and its improved ballistics over .380.   I get that some people really like the larger .380 handguns. That's great. I'm just saying that to me, .380 makes no sense outside of the micro-pistols. I had an LCP and sold it. The gun never failed me, but I just didn't have a lot of faith in the round. This new bullet in the OP makes me reconsider the .380 and maybe picking up another LCP for when the Kahr just won't work.
