I don't know if zoning and parcels are relevant or not, but the children's science museum is on the same parcel of land as Fort Negley while Greer is on its own. Fort Negley is parcel 10502044600 Greer is parcel 10502043400 MetroMap

If this is your opinion on gun rights, then I think you'll find that you're not in fact "in total agreement" on gun laws as a whole with many members here. Since when was a right "granted"? Something is either a right or it isn't. If it is then it's not granted by law, it's protected by law.

Greer is not listed as a Metro Park on their website. Nashville.gov - Parks and Recreation - Park Locations Metro Nashville Parks are all off-limits, are not posted, and I don't think they have to be posted. Municode - Search 13.24.440 is the text on their ban in the parks. TCA 39.17.1311 (d) says they can make all parks off-limits and it makes no requirement to post. TCA 39.17.1311 (e)(2) says they have to post, but I seem to recall that certain municipal codes were "grandfathered" in and don't have to. Nashville and Knoxville come to mind. Does anyone know more about that? TCA 39.17.1311 ©(3) looks like the city can simply vote themselves out of the requirement to post. I didn't stay at a Holiday inn Express last night, so this analysis is probably worth what you paid for it.

Sunday afternoon at 2:00? Does that give everyone time to get done with church/family things, grab some lunch and get out there?

Bellevue here as well.

Erm...the date/time was set at 10:27 on a Friday night. How's that for an excuse? Sorry I missed it.

Why?

I didn't mean I wouldn't draw, just that I didn't think we could do the "hands up!" thing. If the perp turns to flee before I can get a shot off I'd have to not shoot of course. It's the giving the police-style commands that I thought we couldn't do.

Can non-LEOs do this? I was under the impression that non-LEOs are either defending ourselves with deadly force if we fire or we're brandishing if we don't.

The upper range is for groups. I don't think there's an additional charge for it, just need to clear it with Charlie and reserve it. $40 for a year. $5 for non member per visit (must be with a member) Early on a Sunday wouldn't work for me, but don't let that stop you from meeting. I'll just have to pass.

Just got home and saw my copy of the paper. Front page. Congratulations, Brian.

Make Model Caliber Serial Number Purchase Date Purchase Price I just keep them in a spreadsheet on GoogleDocs. No need to store yet another printed document. Spreadsheets work much better than a document for stuff like this.

nah. He's picking his nose with his thumb. It's the 2nd most popular digit to use.

Why should you have to have paid a couple of hundred dollars into a training course and a permit fee to participate at an auction to buy an item that you don't need a permit to buy any place else? It should work like any other purchase from an FFL. Pay the TICS fee and off you go.

I'd thought about it for a while. Sort of a "just because I can" thing. I passed on taking the class with a couple of friends. It wasn't very importnat to me. I didn't own a handgun and was more interested in spending my money on other things. Then my mother-in-law was home when a couple of low-lifes kicked her door down, robbed her at gun point, and placed her on her knees in the bedroom with a gun to the back of her head, execution style. She kept begging and pleading with them to just leave. Finally they did. That's what it took. My wife and I are now both permitted. I shoot as often as possible and now have the rifle and shotgun disease too. I need moooorrrrre!!!!

I'm in

Kahr FTW. I love my PM9.

Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

The polar bears can eat them. Problem solved.

I see them in western Davidson and northern Williamson county all the time. At least 2 or 3 a month now. Used to be 1 every 2 years.

And they have big bags of beef jerky by the registers. Bonus if they've just received fresh jugs of water used in the Culligan cooler by the Pro desk. Oh...and the Blue Rhino propane tanks out front with all the gear you need in the grill section to convert those generators on Aisle 14 to run on that propane.... Don't forget the hidden power-up... vending machines in a lot of the employee break rooms.

Yeah, but don't walk into the middle of the class dressed as a zombie. Some dude with an ink-still-wet HCP might get jumpy.

Bellevue checking in. Basic skills till lingering in the back of my mind from old Civil Air Patrol and Boy Scout days: How to patch a sucking chest wound with a credit card. But you'd better hope for a real medic after that. And Armed Aviator.....what's this "air recon" crap? We're putting some zombie-splattin' cannons on that Banana!

I need to practice drawing more too. An instructor suggested that I pick up some snap-caps for home practice. Is there any point in that? I know it provides a surface for the firing pin to strike, but I've also been told that dry firing won't hurt a modern firearm. Normally, I'm using striker fired arms (Springer XD, Kahr PM9), but also have a Walther P-22* that my wife likes to use (and needs to practice more with). Does that make a difference in the use of snap-caps? Which advice is is correct, and does striker vs. hammer make a difference? *I'd rather her carry something larger, but it's her choice. I'd rather she take the Walther with CCI Stingers than nothing at all.
