From now on, it's TGO, or via FFLs.

It makes me truly appreciate what David and his team of Moderators has done here with the Trading Post. I only deal with TGOers with positive feedback from other TGOers whose names I recognize as reputable members (Dolomite, Fallguy, OhShoot, etc.).

Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1301 has the definitions for the 39-17-13xx section covering weapons. "Unloaded" means the rifle, shotgun or handgun does not have ammunition in the chamber, cylinder, clip or magazine, and no clip or magazine is in the immediate vicinity of the weapon. Note that by this definition, a loaded clip or magazine, even separated from the firearm, can still be considered a loaded weapon in TN. The best thing you can do when arriving in TN is get a Handgun Carry Permit (HCP). It makes things a lot easier. With an HCP, as other have said, you just have to have the chamber empty. Magazines, proximity, etc. no longer really matter once you have an HCP. Just keep that chamber empty.

<<nevermind>>

Call GnL. Do it there. Easy as pie and a good price.

Just switch it to the other leg. The idea of "inside" carry is that it's more concealed. On the "outside" it could be printing. If "super secret spy" is your game, inside is the way to go. It's just harder to draw. you could just roll it around the left leg and have it on the outside, but the grip would be pointed forward instead of backwards. That would be awkward.

Galco makes one that's less bulky. It also has retention straps that go up the leg to the belt, you just can't see them in this pic. I wouldn't use one. I thought about getting one for my wife for summer time with skirts/dresses, but she's not real crazy about the idea. Besides that, most reviews I've read basically say that thigh holsters in general suck and are used only for deep concealment when necessary. Still....it would be sexy...just not in this stock Galco photo.

Thanks. Sig was my gut feeling, but it doesn't quite match up with any that I know of. I thought it might be an older discontinued model, or some Iranian made knock-off shipped in to Hezbollah. Toy makes more sense because the guy on the edge of the photo doesn't seem worried that a 3 year old kid has a gun pointed at his head.

There's a pic at the top of Drudge today. I don't recognize the handgun. What is it? It looks like it has "teeth" on the front like a breaching tool. http://www.drudgereport.com/ ETA: I couldn't embed the photo, so hopefully the main Drudge page won't change for a few hours.

That would never happen. Nobody wants Grizzlies tickets.

I was just at Chickasaw State Park this weekend. It has a tent-only area. The campsites were good and well spaced so you're not on top of your neighbor. Better spacing than at Mouse Tail Landing S.P. The bathhouse (toilets and showers) get a C-. They are in need of upgrading and were not particularly clean. Hiking in the park is limited, but it's adjacent to Chickasaw State Forest with lots of trails. A plus is that they have horse-back riding available. It's not available in many other parks and can be a nice break from regular trail hiking. Frozen Head State Park is in east TN. About 200yards away from the regular RV/tent camp area is a primitive tent only area. It just has a portable toilet, but like I said, 200 yards away to the main site with a very well maintained and regularly cleaned bathhouse. The tent-only area is setup along a creek bank. It's awesome, and not too busy except for long weekends like Labor Day.

Thanks. It's 39-17-1311. I was searching Lexis for "state parks" and didn't find it. I see in 39-17-1359 ( f) that it doesn't apply to state parks and that they are governed by -1311, so that confirms that even the gunbuster signs are not applicable in state parks.

They're supposed to replace them as needed and not have the "No firearms" part any longer. I just returned from Chickasaw S.P.. they have the "No firearms" at the front entrance, so that's a no-brainer to carry past. The entrance to each of the 3 camping areas has a "no firearms" AND a gunbuster. Can someone cite the law that says carry is OK in State Parks? If not, I suspect that gunbuster would still apply.

Like peejman said, State Parks are good to go. The law was revised a few years ago to make them that way, but there was no money alloted to remake the signs, so the SPs are allowed to keep them up until time to replace them. Just ignore that part and carry on. National Parks are good to go except for any building that is posted or where a park employee (not just any old contractor like most gift shops/snack bars) is a regular fixture. They're pretty consistent with their postings though, so just look for the gunbuster. National Forest land is good to go. Other federal property (TVA, Corps of Engineers, etc.) is officially a no-go, but there is some fluidity in how the agency in charge chooses to enforce that (loosely in some cases, stringently in others).

What Lumber_Jack said. That kid's intestines would get ripped up if the docs don't go in and get them out.

Bought at $2 and keeping it until $30. Show me da ! And the home address is on the registration in the glove box.....

It's just my opinion, but I bet if you're in a non-metro city, either the city police chief or the county sheriff would be fine. Especially with a C&R. BATFE might be more particular/meticulous in checking on Class-3 items. If you're in the county, it's definitely the county sheriff. You could always call the city PD and ask if they want it, or for it to go to the sheriff.

I have also heard what bkelm said. County Sheriff unless it's a combined metro government. Then it's the Chief of Police.

Another vote for D&T. Then you can drive 10 min up the road to G&L Hendersonville for some quality time getting to know one another.

There must be some mistake. It's a peaceful religion.

This just hit Yahoo! news feed. http://news.yahoo.com/you-don-t-bring-a-3d-printer-to-a-gun-fight----yet.html

Except if it's in your vehicle. Then an HCP allows it to be loaded, but not one in the chamber. HCP does not allow walking around with a long gun.

I'm in need of some more AK mags and found some Egyptian Maadi steel surplus 30rd with a ribbed back. How do those compare to the European surplus like Yugoslavian, Romanian, and Russian? How about to the Asian milsurp?
