You answered your own question. Charlie's concern is lead going over the berms. That's why clays have to be set low on the berms and why he asks people shooting full-auto to use short bursts to keep muzzle climb down. As long as you can keep your sights on the target, fire as fast as you want.

I'll save him the time. Here's his dissertation on it from the RedJacket AR thread. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/45763-red-jacket-ar/page__view__findpost__p__727564

It's now called Charlie Haffner Memorial Range (CHMR) http://chmr.us/CHMR/Home.html

Don't forget the tactical pants bloused over combat boots.

Close enough to kill one with a hand-tool means close enough for his spurs.

The top 3 on the leaderboard all have a chance at winning it. Spots 4 (me) and lower are done.

We have a change in the leader-board.

Just for clarification, option 3 is not a legal option, but is one that some people choose. Carrying past a proper sign in TN is a no-no. Proper signs are signs that are plainly visible and have (a ) a "gunbuster" circle-slash logo and/or (b ) wording that has 3 elements: 1) Must say that the property is posted under the authority of Tennessee law 2) Weapons/firearms are prohbited on the property or portion of the property 3) Must state that possessing a weapon in the off-limits area is a criminal offense Mostly, proper postings use the language right out of the TN law books which is: AS AUTHORIZED BY T.C.A. § 39-17-1359, POSSESSION OF A WEAPON ON POSTED PROPERTY OR IN A POSTED BUILDING IS PROHIBITED AND IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. Remember that a gunbuster is good enough to make it off-limits. No words are actually needed, but if they are used, they have to conform to the above. If they get either one right (verbage or gunbuster), it's properly posted. As for police, it is a crime in TN to carry in public. The permit is just a defense to that crime. That basically means that the police have every right to detain you long enough to verify that you have a valid permit and, as stated above, may disarm you at their discretion during their investigation. If you really don't want to risk the hassle, conceal.

As long as you ship to an FFL, you can ship out of state. Manufacturers are FFLs so you're good to go. I shipped one to Smith & Wesson about a year ago via FedEx from the FedEx station off of Elm Hill Pike near Briley Pkwy. No hassle and I didn't declare anything.

Picture #4 is funny. We should have a trailcam "Caption This" competition.

Different mags. The Taurus ones hold an extra round or 2. IIRC, Beretta's are 15 rd, Taurus' are 17 rd. I have heard that Beretta mags can be modified to fit in the Taurus, but not the other way around. I'm not sure what "modifications" need to be made. I got a great deal on some Beretta mags on the TGO Classifieds, so keep yours eyes on the "Gear Classifieds" section of the Trading Post. If you don't want to wait, you can check with your LGS or order some. CDNN has the Taurus mags for $29.99. I don't know how that compares to LGS prices. http://site.cdnninvestments.com/CDNN2012-2/index.html Page 78

Wild Wasabi in Cummins Station off Demonbreun downtown.

That depends on the condition. For one that is like new and that's out-the-door price it's fair, in my opinion. It's not a super-duper deal, but it's not terrible. If it's rough, I'd pass at that price. Bud's has them new for $458, plus transfer fee. I see like-new blued Beretta's on the TGO Classifieds for about $500 every so often.

Across 31E from the Miracle Ford dealership. I've been meaning to get up there. Yes they allow handguns.

It's OK to get an out of state handgun, but it must pass through an FFL in the buyer's home state to be a legal transaction. This is correct. Out of state ammo purchases are cool.

Fixed it for ya. I hereby officially nominate Post #45 for the TGO Post Of The Year award. Let's all play "Count the felonies".

Was there anything good inside?

$100 for a year at a range as developed and maintained as SRHEC is actually pretty reasonable. Especially when you consider that all of the rifle stations have real rifle benches with adjustable height seats, all areas where you walk are paved so no muddy boots, it's clean, has real indoor toilets, and you have RSOs and an inspection station to try to keep safety levels high. It's just $5.50 a trip, so 18 trips is your break-even point. 18 or less, pay as you go. 19 or more, get the annual. I think you'll still have to wait in line if there is a wait, but I don't think there is a 2-hour limit on annual members. You can collect your own brass. They ask that you not collect from other shooters that aren't in your party, and anything that goes in their buckets stays in their buckets. The RSOs don't get paid. They sell the brass for their odds-and-ends expenses that don't get covered by the state, and maybe for a few pizzas or something. I don't know if it's true or not, but I have been told that only annual members may use the two 200-yard lanes. My membership is at CHMR. It's the same hour drive each way for me but it has much better hours, unrestricted target subject matter, some clay launchers for shottys, and clays allowed on the berms. I would like to see more rifle benches there since those get squatted first, and I'm not crazy about the way the pistol pit operates (people reloading behind active shooters). For $60 a year, it's worth it, even if I do bring home a pound of mud on my boots if it has rained in the last few days. I would pay more for more range improvements though.

I'm still not sure why there are some un-zombified dead bodies, like in some cars on the highway. OK, so maybe they died before being infected, so they didn't resurrect. That would explain someone who died early in the outbreak from anything other than being attacked by a zombie. But what caused these un-zombies to die sitting in their cars?

I'm pretty sure that's true, but I'm far from being an expert on these guns. Beretta opened a factory in Brazil to make arms for the Brazilian military. When the contract ended (late 70's or early 80's, IIRC), Taurus bought the plant, tools, and licensing rights for the designs and kept the work force. Over time, Taurus made some changes to the 92 design, resulting in the slight differences seen today. some of the designs are an improvement over the Beretta, but it's sometimes a matter of opinion on which ones those are. Shortly before that time (mid 70's) Taurus was affiliated with Smith & Wesson in some way. They had the same parent company I think. They sold off Taurus to whoever owns it now before the Beretta factory deal.

Congrats on picking up a good gun. Take a note that your PT92AFS has an accessory rail (that's the "A"). It will make a difference when finding a holster. Most made for the Beretta 92 won't fit right. Like D3vo said, I have a blued Beretta 92FS and a stainless Taurus PT-92. The Beretta is better built, but costs more. The fit is really good on my Taurus, but it's great on the Beretta. The trigger is fine on the Taurus, but smoother on the Beretta. I like both of them for different reasons, and I trust both to work when needed. The Beretta is better, but not by a lot. The Taurus is usually considerably cheaper and is a great value. There are also non-quality things that are different. The Taurus has the safety/decocker on the slide and up is fire. When cocked, flipping it down from "fire" will both safe AND decock the firearm. The Taurus has its lever on the frame and is a 3-position lever. Up is safe, middle is fire, and all the way down is decock (which IIRC springs back up to the middle position after decocking). (It has been a while since I shot them, so these details may be slightly off. I don't feel like getting them out of the safe to check them.) This difference in position means that grips are not usually interchangeable. The rear sights are also different, but right now I don't recall which is which and what the exact difference is. I don't recall if the Taurus ones are adjustable or not, but I think they are. In my opinion, the Beretta has a cleaner look, mostly because I don't like Taurus' need to emblazon gigantic TAURUS lettering on every slide/barrel they produce. I do like the Taurus stainless over the Beretta Inox, but that's preference. I want my "silver" guns to shine. Blasphemy, I know.

I took that to mean the officer saw the gun at the restaurant parking lot.
