So far, there's not much story on him, so they could take him any direction they want. As for Merle, I dion't expect he'll show up at the farm. Well, not unless he's the ring-leader of the bunch that Rick, Glenn, and Herschel ran into in town. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental that he left Atlanta in the same direction and happened to come across the same farm while wandering about on his own.

So far T-Dog's back story from the writers is "we needed a black guy in the group so we could have Daryl face the racism instilled in him by by Merle. Now that we have that more or less settled, we'll let him stand in the corner every 3rd episode so the viewers don't wonder where he went." It's a shame. They can do so much more with him if they try.

I'm pretty sure some of them are built from actual tank parts.

The reason the HSC is long is because it's during the week. TWRA offers a Friday night + all day Saturday option, or the multi-night week days, or online + a field day for the shooting and some final instruction. HSC is lots of stuff on basic safety, including wilderness survival and how not to fall out of a tree stand. Then stuff on basic firearm types. Then stuff about hunting techniques, game management, etc. It's pretty easy and the materials are good at presenting the subject matter. I was dreading it, but ended up enjoying it a lot. The final shoot is a single-shot .22. 3 shots IIRC at a close range target. The instructors are more interested in you demonstrating safe handling than making one ragged hole in the paper. Don't worry about the HCP class. If you know the difference between a revolver and a rock, pay attention to when deadly force can be used, practice safe handling on the range, and can keep from shooting your neighbor's target, you'll pass.

If you're LEO or current/retired military, you can check out Bud's Police Supply. Same people as Bud's Gun Shop, with discounted pricing but a more limited selection. Smith & Wesson also runs the occasional rebate on their M&P products. Sometimes it's for everyone, and sometimes for LEO/Military. Timed right, the rebate combined with good on-line pricing can get someone a quality rifle for a great price.

Bud's has it for $622, but it's out of stock right now. JoeBob's is a TGO supporter and after the 5% TGO discount, it's just $14.45 more and they have it in stock. I use D&T in Rivergate for my FFL transfers. they are also a TGO vendor and have a very reasonable transfer fee of $15 (+$10 for TICS, but everyone has that) when you tell them you're with TGO. Total damage: $661.45 out the door. The standard M&P Sport is SKU 811036. The others (811037, 811038) are for compliance in other states so they have 10 round mags, fixed stocks, fixed mags, stuff like that. I can't recall the different "features" that each of those others have, but the 811036 is the one you want.

It's at the end of the street in Tombstone, AZ. Wyatt Earp, and all..... It's also a range in Woodbury, TN.

Does anyone here know when Title 39 CFR 232.1 was enacted? That's the no-firearms on post office property one. It would be interesting to know if that regulation was in place before the string of PO shootings happened that Kerr cites, or if there was a policy in place for employees at the timeif they were mostly prior to Title 39 CFR 232.1.

Hiking/Camping w/No Conceal Carry Permit
monkeylizard replied to MiddTennTaco's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
If you're really worried about bears, get some bear spray. No permit needed. -
Not true gun mags, but I get Field & Stream and Outdoor Life. Neither are as good as they used to be.

Cool Springs Mall hit with series of vehicle burglaries
monkeylizard replied to daddyo's topic in General Chat
Yes, that is the most likely outcome, but not the only one. I didn't ask if anyone has carried past a sign and been asked to leave. I'm sure that happens and nothing ever comes of it. That is probably the usual outcome of carrying past a sign and being "made". I asked if anyone knows of an actual court case yet where a charge was filed for violating TCA's posting law. Knowing where the courts stand on the interpretation of that law's language would be beneficial to all HCP holders. It's like the HCP defense to having a firearm on school property not having the "intent to go armed" phrase. How do the courts interpret that? Is the HCP a defense so long as the other rules (no touching, doesn't leave the vehicle, etc.) are followed, or would you have to unload and separate before reaching school property for the defense to apply? We can get attorney opinions, and even an AG opinion o that stuff, but until a court case comes along, we don't really know for sure. -

Because it would be nice to know how the courts interpret the language in the law about a sign being plainly visible and needing to be a gunbuster or contain specific langauge. If someone was charged for carrying past a quarter-sized gunbuster like you'll find at the Metro Nashville libraries and at Regal cinemas, or one clustered up with 20 other stickers on the doors advertising various items, is that different than carrying past the 12" gunbuster dead-center all alone on the door of The Gold Rush stores? If someone was charged at a Costco, Outback, etc with a "please don't carry here" sign that is not a gunbuster and does not contain the language specified by the law, would the court dismiss the case? I'm all for not supporting a business that posts, but sometimes you can go right past a less-than-obvious sign unintentionally. There are also times when family obligations require me to go to one of those places, like my wife wanting to go to Costco. I'd like to know where I stand in the court's eyes on those issue, since theirs is the only one that really matters. -
I have the M&P MOE and am happy with it. According to SW's website it also has the 1:8 twist and the 5R, but the barrel material is different. 4140 steel on the Sport, and 4150 CMV (Chrome-Moly-Vanadium) on the MOE. What's the difference? OS, I couldn't keep mine stock....

So my Woot! order arrived last week. I'm quite happy with all 3, but the Burst and the Drone are pretty close to one another, so one will be a keeper and the other gifted on to someone.

Cool Springs Mall hit with series of vehicle burglaries

First, welcome to TGO. Second, the law that states it is TCA 39-17-1359*. The one that describes how to legally post. Here is section 3 C of that law: Notice how it says property in there. Cool Springs Galleria is posted at all street entrances to the property itself, with the one known (by me) exception being the Logan's parking lot. But since that's not really an entrance primarily used by persons entering the property, even that's kind of pushing it. The doors to the mall are also posted, but not the doors to the department stores, and not the interior entrances from the department stores to the mall. By the letter of the law, you could enter through Logan's (see above...this may not be compliant) then enter through a department store and not have carried past a sign. Otherwise, simply entering the parking lot is passing by a legally posted sign and a violation of the law. In that case, the worst they can do is detain you until the Franklin PD arrives and have you charged with a Class B misdemeanor with a possible fine of up to $500, along with whatever trespassing charges their lawyer may try to toss your way. The cops may keep your gun for a while and once the TDOS gets wind of it (and they will), you could be losing your HCP. That's not very likely, but it is the worst case and is far worse than just being asked to leave. Does anyone know if there has been a case yet of an HCP holder carrying past a proper posting and being charged with something? *You can find TN Code Annotated items here: http://www.lexisnexi...ttopics/tncode/ Edit to fix the auto-smilies in the middle of the TCA language -

Cool Springs Galleria is posted at most* parking lot entrances. You can't even leave it in your car and be legal. *I'm pretty sure that if you enter from Logan's parking lot, you won't be driving past a sign, then you can enter via a department store where no doors are posted. That's to follow the letter of the law, but their anti-gun stance is pretty evident, so I'm not sure how that might be seen in court. -
Any word on this? Yes....I read the Announcement post....just giving TGODavid some crap.....

RT: China Says Either WW3 or New World Order
monkeylizard replied to plank white's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
China is just flexing its muscles in regards to the developing world. They want more countries to look to them as trade/military partners instead of to the U.S.A. They have that with Iran and are getting it with Pakistan. They want it with more African nations that have oil and mineral deposits. They would love to have Afghanistan. There are some untapped deposits of lithium in that place that will make some people very rich. They just want access to natural resources. They prefer trading for it, but I wouldn't put it past them to go take them if push comes to shove.They'll eventually want Siberia.
