TN's new 39-17-1313 law (not yet effective...goes into effect July 1, 2013) is not specifically related to the employee/employer relationship. It simply says that HCP holders can legally have their gun in their car in posted lots so long as they meet the specifics of the new law. The areas of properly posted property outside of the HCP'ers vehicle is still properly posted. This means places like Cool Springs Galleria mall and the 100 Oaks movie theater will be OK to leave it locked up in the car but you still can't legally carry it in. Having it in the car will no longer be a violation of 39-17-1359.   The 2nd thing that 39-17-1313 does is remove civil liability from the property owner/employer if the HCPer goes on a rampage. That could open the door for some employers to revise their no-weapons policies if the only reason they had it was for liability insurance reasons. I expect that to be a very small number of employers, if any.   My employer prohibts firearms by policy, and does not have postings on the doors or parking lots. I can carry in my office or have one in my car today and not break any laws. I can do the same on July 1st and not break any laws. Both instances can get me fired. Even after July 1st, it's still no guns for me during the week.

What year is that Oldsmobile? It looks like about a '51 or '52, but the grill doesn't look right to me. I don't remember a model that had those vertical posts beside the license plate area that went up that high.

Only 3/4 empty? That's optimistic.

John, anyone can become a Benefactor by clicking the "TGO Store" link at the top of the page and selecting a 6 month or 1 year membership. It comes with some nice perks in addition to the Benefactor label under your avatar. An Admin (or possibly sitegod TGODavid himself) would need to be involved to add you as an "Authorized Vendor".  

An example of what would be a long-term change would be a law passing that severely restricts all ammo importation. Then all the cheap Wolf and Tula supply for .223 and 7.62 would dry up. Winchester, S&B, Federal, Hornady, etc. would then add real long-term capacity to produce more .223 and 7.62 to meet the already present demand that was formerly being met by imports.

Adding a 3rd shift increases production, but not enough to fully meet demand, so supplies continue to dwindle. To really keep up the manufacturers have to add new capacity in the forms of newer equipment, additional factory floor space, and more people. When supply catches up and the panic dies down and demand goes back to what it was before, they're left with an oversized factory, business loans on new equipment, and too many employees.   A manufacturer will expand capacity only when the new demand appears to be sustainable long-term, or when the short-term profits are so high that they're worth the expense of expansion followed by contraction. Neither applies to ammo manufacturers right now.

I'm not usually a big fan of the stuff they build, but OCC built this one for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation and I kind of liked it. Certainly not the first/only "roll on and ride" design, but I think it has better proportions than the Chris Trikes linked above. This one has kind of an old Roman chariot feel to it. I'm guessing it would blow your budget, but it's still cool. Personally I'd have liked to have seen them do more body panels to cover the "cage" area. Maybe some farings to match the tanks and fenders.

  This x1000.   I've long thought that my local Wally might get in 2 or 3 boxes of .22 bulk packs a week. When they have 10 in stock, sell a few, then get a few in to refill the stock, it all works fine. When the shelves are bare and they get those same 2 or 3 in, they get snapped up and the shelves remain bare. Eventually the guys snapping up 5000+ at a time will (1) have a stockpile they're comfortable with and stop buying more or (2) have sold to everyone willing to buy from them at crazy prices and stop buying more. The question is how long until both of those things come true?

but...but....Glenn Beck...but...WND...but....     Seriuosly though, I'd like to know if that's true more-or-less across the board with ammo manufacturers. I don't know ATK's sales mix, so gov't contracts might be a small part of their production, but a major part of company X, who was a major civilian supplier but now isn't. I really don't know, just wondering.

+1 for Chip Cain. Standup guy. When I'm ready to take the NFA plunge he'll be doing my trust. bonus: He's a TGO Authorized Vendor that helps keep this place going.     Patrick Stegall is a TGO Benefactor and an attorney. He does NFA trusts too and he's in Memphis, so closer to you than Chip in Nashville. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/user/8320-stegall-law-firm/

3" looks good.   Question: Does anyone know what about these guns makes them illegal in California? If I thought you could have anything in the PRC, I thought for sure it'd be a .38 revolver.

mmmmmm....lead paint.....everywhere....   I'd guess that removal of that and probably a boat load of asbestos will set the buyer back some money.

  Maybe not, but at least one Lousiana bear crossed it to get to Mississippi. http://www.cwreplicas.com/onward/bear_facts.html  

Black panther.

+1 to what smithra89 said.   The way I understand it, look for the same things you'd look for in any old rifle. Cracks in the wood, heavy corrosion in the throat, rifling, things like that.   Generally speaking, hex receivers are better than round receivers*, all others things being constant. I think that's because hex's are older and were made when the factories could take their time and do it right. As the war went on they had to increase production with the corner-cutting measures that came along with that. I have a 1930's hex (don't recall the year) and a fellow TGOer got a 1940's round one at the same time. When we were cleaning them up, we noticed heavy tool/lathe marks on the outside of his barrel while mine was smooth. It doesn't affect the shooting, but it's a symptom of the overall degradation in quality when they had to start cranking them out like crazy. In other words, if you're picking between 2 or more that all look/feel about the same to you, take the older one. If you like it, then you can start worrying about things like the factory markings and specific years. You'll feel the urge to have at least one from each factory....it's a disease.       *If you're not sure of the difference, Google it and you'll see examples of hex and round receivers.

    You saw Dog the Bounty Hunter?

They are crazier than an outhouse rat.

Come on now...you gotta tell us where this was....   :)

All gone. Everything shows Out of Stock.

  You're preaching to the choir.

"Intent to go armed" is in some of our TN state statutes. It is is none of the federal laws that come to mind.   Federal facilities are covered under 18 USC § 930 and have some exceptions to the no firearms law. One exception that may make a legal grey area is the phrase "or other lawful purposes". To my knowledge, HCPs don't count, but I don't know (nor would I know) of any challenges to that.*   US Postal facilities are not covered under either TN state law nor US title 18. The USPS gets to play by their own rules which are in Title 39 instead of Title 18. Title 39 does not have the "other lawful purposes" phrase. It makes 1 exception and 1 exception only.    http://cfr.vlex.com/vid/232-1-conduct-postal-property-19777182     . Note that this includes "postal property". That includes parking lots at the post office.   By and large, the federal laws on this are clear and that dog bites hard.     *I know the parks service allows carry based on the state's laws in which the park, or that portion of the park, is located. The buildings where actual real US NPS employees work are automatically considered federal facilities and are off-limits. They're pretty good about posting them, but I don't think they have to do that to make them off-limits. Other buildings are OK, like snack shops operated by a contractor. I assume that all federal buildings are the same. They post them for our benefit, but posted or not, they're still no-go areas. I could be very mistaken on that assumption. I don't know the USC as well as I do the TCA, which is sometimes questionable itself about how well I know that one.

Hopefully some zombies. That would be an improvement.

  FIFY! :up:

Why would he need another one?
