An older policy did indeed say that Wally permitted CC in those states that allow it and only allowed OC by LEOs, but that official policy has since been altered to be stores follow the state and local laws regarding handgun carry by customers. However, they reserve the right to ask anyone legally carrying (OC or CC) to conceal it, remove it, or leave the store. So to say that Wal-Mart frowns on OC is not completely accurate. As a company, they're basically trying to stay out of the whole thing. As to the real world, it depends on who the duty manager is and if any other customers complain or start running around the small appliances yelling "SHE'S GOT A GUN! SHE'S GOT A GUN!". Wal-Mart as a company is trying to stay out of the debate and is primarily interested in getting money from its customers. So long as permit holders aren't frightening other customers by the presence of our guns, they really don't care. The point of a Wally Walk is to become comfortable with carrying in public, either CC or OC. You do some rather ordinary things (buy action movies, eat some nachos, generally be in public) with a firearm on your person during a WW. By the time you reach the checkout lanes you should be recognizing that (a) nobody noticed your heater and ( if they did, they didn't care. If your local Wally is known to be an OC friendly store, then by all means, go fo it. If it's a known "cover it up" store, then it sort of defeats the point of getting more comfortable with open carrying if management or store security will be all in your business on your first date. Find another Wally if you really want to OC it.

Thanks. I didn't know that. +1 to what Hozzie said. Nice summary.

I should have specified that handguns have to pass through an FFL in the recipient's home state. Long guns do not. All of this of course assumes that we're not talking about items controlled under the NFA (full auto, SBR, suppressors, etc). Then it's a whole different animal. From ATF Publication 5300.4 http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-4.pdf (B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in 177 the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes. [18 U.S.C 922(a)(3) and (5), 922((3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30] (B3) May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of- State source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the purchaser’s own State? A person not licensed under the GCA and not prohibited from acquiring firearms may purchase a firearm from an out-of-State source and obtain the firearm if an arrangement is made with a licensed dealer in the purchaser's State of residence for the purchaser to obtain the firearm from the dealer. [18 U.S.C 922(a)(3) and 922((3)]

That's the normal definition, but not for firearms. Federal firearms laws (and the ATF) make no distinction of eligibility of the ultimate recipient. A straw purchase to the ATF is simply that the actual buyer is being hidden by an intermediary. Notice that I said buyer, not owner. In a gift transaction, a 3rd party is the end owner, but is NEVER a buyer. If the "gift" recipient gives the buyer the money for the item, then it is no longer a gift, it is a straw purchase regardless of the final owner's legal ability to own a firearm or not.

Not quite. It's fine for the giftee to tell you what they want. It's not fine for them to give you the money to buy it either before or after the purchase. THAT'S a straw purchase. I can tell my brother that I want to get him a firearm for his birthday and ask him what he wants. That's fine. It's not a straw purchase. I am the purchaser. I will fill out the ATF form and I will pass the background check*. Then I will give it as a gift with no recompense from him of any kind. It's a gift. When I give it to my brother, there is no paperwork to fill out and no FFL to go through UNLESS he is a resident of another state. Then and only then does it have to pass through an FFL and it would be one in the recipient's home state. *Assuming I'm purchasing from a dealer. I can purchase the gift from an individual and not do that, just like any other private sale.

Nero's Grill in GH isn't bad. Not great, but not bad. Shalimar is supposed to be one of the best Indian places in the city. Both are walking distance from GH Hampton Inn. If you want a steakhouse that's NOT a chain (Morton's, Ruth's CHRIS, Stoney River, and Fleming's) then you can try The Stockyard or Jimmy Kelly's. Neither are in GH, so you'd need a cab. The Stockyard is proud of their wine cellar. The Stockyard used to have a courtesy van than ran to area hotels. They may go to GH. You'd have to call.

If you're present, and Netflix isn't limiting you to a specific device or number of devices, no problem logging on from another house, as long as you logout when done. That's like buying Iron Man on DVD and taking it to your brothers house and watching it with them IMO. It's a problem if you give them your password to use it whenever they please. That's like copying the DVD and passing it on to them. That's when it crosses to theft. But in the digital media world, those lines are getting blury. Legislation will never be able to keep up with the pace of technology.

First of all, Netflix distributes through a lot of different distribution channels. PC viewing is only one of them. Netflix also streams through set-top boxes like Roku Google TV and TiVo, on many BluRay DVD players, newer TVs with NetFlix built-in, Nintendo Wii, Micorosft XBox 360, Sony's Playstation3 etc. They also do mail-order DVD/BluRay. As for Netflix accoutn sharing, in our gun world, this would be like paying for a membership to a range that includes you and your family and a reaosnable number of guests so long as you're present. Let's say that range is accessed through a keypad. How many of ou think it's OK to share that code with just anyone when your contract with the range owner clearly says your membership is for you, household members, and guests accompanied by you?

I just heard last night that MW3 will be like MW2, a console port to the PC. No dedicated servers. No thanks. I'll pass. I forgot how much I hated MW2's server setup until I read that. IW now officially sucks in the PC world.

Arizona brand tea (no, I don't think it actually meets the Southern definition of "tea") comes in some very thick plastic 1 gallon jugs. It's every bit as thick as a good quality gasoline can. I use them for water storage. I also use one to store old oil and gasoline to take it out to the Trinity Lane hazmat site. Sometimes it takes me a while to get enough used oil to fill it up, and it has never had a leak. If it can hold old gas and oil for a year, I think it can handle water.

It's like any other IWB, but not actually connected to anything. The friction from the outer skin along with the pressure from your waistband/belt keeps it in place. The inner lining is just black ballistic nylon, so your firearm won't stick inside. There's welting along the opening made from the rubber stuff, so you do get about 1/4" of grippy on the inside edge. That keeps the firearm from shifting around inside the holster. They also have mag holsters.

Here's my review of the Remora with a Kahr PM9 http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/firearm-accessories/58088-remora-no-clip-holster-review-kahr-pm9.html#post739014

I took a leap of faith and bought a Remora no-clip holster for my Kahr PM9. Mine has the RFT option, which means that there is a thin layer of something stiff in the core between the inner and outer fabric for the upper half of the holster. Basically, if you insert your firearm, from around the trigger up to the mouth of the holster, it's stiff. The lower portion remains plyable. Yes, I know that sounds dirty, no jokes please. The width of the mouth can still be pressed closed, but it's not plyable like a regular fabric/neoprene holster might be. The purpose is to allow easier re-holstering because the insert keeps the mouth from being pressed closed while the firearm is drawn. Now for the review. Pro The build seems to be quality. Nice stitching. No frayed ends or edges. A nice even quality build. the clipless design allows a truly customized cant, and even depth to some degree. You can't make it ride high if you like yours that way. It has to be low, but you can set it to exactly how low you want it to be. It's grippier than a grippy thing that is grippy. I can wear my Kahr PM9 all day and it doesn't seem to move at all during a normal around-town kind of day. In and out of the car, up and down stairs, just general movement. I have worn it while doing yard work, including planting in the garden for about 3 hours. In this case, it did tend to slide up, but only by about1/4". Or maybe my pants slipped by that much. Either way, it was in no danger of suddenly falling out of my pants (See above comment about jokes). I can wear it w/o having to cinch my belt as tight as I do with my XD on a CompTac Minotaur, but this could be down to the weight differnce of the XD and PM9 more than the holster. It's tuckable (see con below) and ambidextrous. I'm a righty and it allowed my to experiment with the holster at 5 o'clock in a lefty configuration. I didn't care for it, but to each his/her own. Con When dropping your pants (for any of a multitude of reasons), you have to remember to grip it between your thumb and your waistband or it will fall. It's not really a problem and I find I'm already instinctively doing this. It is tuckable, but because it's so grippy, you have to give your shirt a good tug to get it to untuck and expose the firearm if it's time for business. When doing so, I can feel the Remora slip up a little. Again, not so much that it will come completely out, but enough that I notice. The CompTac's kydex allows the shirt to slide off much more easily than the Remora's grippy skin. I haven't tried it with an undershirt where the Remora would be between that and the outer shirt. Not sure which one it would grip to more. It will certainly grip to skin much more than to clothing. In the end, I'm happy with the product. It does the job well, looks good, has a quality feel, and was a reasonable price ($29.99 on their site for a #4 holster). I like it so much more than my High Noon single clip that holds a Ruger LCP.

I caught a few episodes when it was new. 24-light is a good description. It was entertaining enough, but not so much that I couldn't wait for the next episode.

PC player here - Observations may be different on console versions: To me, COD and BF are totally different games. The only thing they have in common are being FPS games. The COD series more of an arcade style run-n-gun fast action shooter. Small maps with fast respawns keeps the action going with the expense of having some really sucky respawn locations from time to time. IW typically gets it right more often than Treyarch, but IW stumbled a bit with MW2 (the departed COD team was evident) with the low player limit, obvious port of a console game, and total lack of dedicated servers. ThenTreyarch hit a homerun with BlackOps. But by and large, IW did better than Treyarch. Treyarch gets a big +1 for having a Capture The Flag game mode and a bigger +1000 for zombies. If IW goes back to their MW2 server formula with MW3, I'll probably pass. I'd forgotten how much I hated it until BlackOps was released and it reminded me of how a PC game is supposed to be hosted. I don't think I'd go back to the MW2 method. Battelfield rocks for its vehicles but blows as a ground pounder. The huge maps and many more players than COD suck when you walk/run through it all the time. I always feel like I spend at least 50% of my gaming time trying to find the action. Vehicles help that alot. Respawning on a team mate was a brilliant idea to get back in quickly too. For ground-pounding, the hit boxes are extremely small compared to the COD series. In BF2, BF2142, and to a lesser degree in Bad Company2, you can go prone, line up a perfect kill shot with a SAW, open up on a dude with his back to you just 50 feet away, and he can turn and kill you with his handgun before you finish him off. Unless you can snipe, vehicle on vehicle fights is where it's at with the BF series.

Not as cool as some of those others, but there's Red Caboose Park in Bellevue. It's on Hwy 70 between Old Hickory Blvd and I-40. It's what the name says...a park with a red caboose in it. You can't get in the caboose, but the play area is pretty good for kids up to about 10 years old or so.

Maybe. 1) I buy a gun for $750 for my personal use, decide for whatever reason to toss it up on TGO Classifieds and sell it for $1000. 2) I know where I can get a $1000 gun for $750 and purchase it with the intent of selling it for the profit. Either way it goes from licensed dealer or individual, to me, to my buyer. Either way I pay $750 and make $250 in the process. The difference is in the intent. In #1, I intended to keep it for myself, but didn't. In #2, I never intended to keep it. The intent was to earn profit. That's the hard part to prove in a case like this. What was Shipley's intent? Apparently the jury thought his intent was to buy and sell for profit. "Mr. Shipley was thrilled to be paid for a job that allowed him to practice his marksmanship, his family says, and stepped up his firearms sales in 2005 to pay for his wife's medical treatment and expenses when the couple adopted their daughter in September 2004 and their son in August 2005." If he was selling off his pre-existing collection to pay his bills, no problem. If during that time, he was also purchasing those same items he was selling, I think the prosecution would have a decent case that he was buying with the intent of reselling for profit. On the other hand, if there is no proof that the main reason for the purchases was to make money for his family medical/kid expenses, then they're throwing a law-abiding citizen under the bus for being an unintentional cog in the cartel gun-running machine.

There was some fun autocross going at the GoodGuys show at LP field this weeekend. As usual, the Camaros and Mustangs had the fastest times. It wasn't a long course. Typical times were in the 35-45 sec range. 32'ish was about the fastest I saw.

Once we set a date, I'll know better. If I'm not out of town, I'll be there.

Free bump for a great seller and a great gun.

I drive in from the west side every day. Before 7 is no problem. After about 7:15an you'll probably lose all of about 10 minutes to the traffic. Without traffic, it's about 5 min from Old Hickory Blvd to Briley Pkwy. With traffic, it's 15, 20 tops. Take Briley around and you'll be fine. Traffic from the west side (accidents excluded) really isn't very heavy.
