Nobody watched it after the SuperBowl and now nobody watches it before.

Fendi chainsaw. Because you just never know when zombies from Rodeo Drive will show up.

I put a Pentax Gameseeker on my MarkII. Got it half off from Cameras, Binoculars, Spotting Scopes, Rifle Scopes - Camera Land NY . Check the Demos/Samples section at the top. Their inventory rolls over pretty regularly, so if you're not in a hurry, you'll probably find what you want for a good price if you keep checking in. It looks like their only Pentax in stock now is a fixed 6x. Mines a 4-12x variable. they usually have some nice Nikon stuff too.

I like Step 3 under Take Action. Act with physical aggression and throw items at the active shooter Items like small lead cone-shaped projectiles. ETA: Cross-post

So many variables to consider on that one. I don't know if my assumptions are right ot not, they're just gut reactions to the OP. Does the BG appear nervous/scared to be there, or cold as ice? Scared tells me they probably just want the cash and to get out. Play along. Ice cold means they've done this before. Go for the gun. He's going to shoot no matter what. Then again...scared people do some stupid stuff.... What's the location and time? In a bank? they probably want some cash. Play along. A restaurant at 10:30 at night? Go for the gun. He's going to shoot no matter what. At home? Could go either way. Is my family involved? If so, what are the risks that fall on them if I make a move? Play along if possible. Is the BG escalating it by threatening rape on my wife/GF? Go for the gun. He's going to shoot no matter what. I can probably think of a lot of other factors. It really is a situational decision. You have to be absolutley prepared to take the shot. If not, don't carry. But being willing to do so and doing it aren't the same. Sometimes it's best to play along and get out with nothing but a few dollars taken, but if your gut says that's not going to happen, then you're only risking what you've already lost.

Somebody call the wah-mbulance. Cry baby needs a ride to his next gig.

My only question is did you play it from the chamber or the muzzle?

Wally in Hermitage has them. So does the Franklin/Cool Springs store.

Are you saying that any police officer in the state technically has jurisdiction anywhere in the state? That a Knoxville PD officer can write a traffic citation in Clarksville, even though they probably never would?

vontar's question on small city police patrolling interstates made me want to ask if anyone knows the jurisdiction of the following: TVA Police. Do they only have jurisdiction on TVA land/waterways? Metro Nashville Park Police. Do they have any jurisdiction in Metro Davidson County outside of the city parks? Just curious. I see their cars/SUVS on the road around town and have always been curious where their areas start and stop.

Nice sushi pics, but where's the handgun, knife, and whiskey?

I've been looking at safes too and doing a lot of research. The general consensus seems to be the following: At least 10 ga. steel. 8 ga. is better. The typical ones in the big-box shops are usually 12 ga or thinner. The links in the OP have expired on Bass Pro's site, so I can't tell what those are. Some pics linked form a recent related thread here on TGO showed a pick-axe attack on a 12 ga and an 8 ga. safe. The 12 ga. was opened like a tin can. The 8 ga had chips in the paint and some gouges in the metal. I know which I'd prefer. Dial locks seem to be preferred over digital locks, mostly due to longevity. It makes sense. I don't think I've ever seen any piece of electronic equipment that I've expected to last 10 years, much less a lifetime or two. Additional stuff like super-reinforced plates over the locking mechanism, double fire protection, additional locking bolts, all seem to come down to cost vs. risk. If you have a $50,000 collection, no alarm system, no dogs, and don't live 10 minutes from a police station, pay the extra for the 1/2" steel protection plate. Got a couple of $120 Wal-Mart specials and some family photos to store? Don't bother. If you have to choose between a feature and thicker steel, get the thicker steel. A neat idea for additional fire protection of cash/documents/media is to get a fire-resistant lock box. Put the stuff in that, then put the box in the safe.

Mine arrived Friday. Already applied to my gun cases. bubbadavis, mark that as 3 on the same mail man's route. Thanks for the hard work VERO1. I know he'll never see this, but +1 to our mail man. He was great after the flood, making his deliveries by getting out of his truck and walking to each house when the streets were so clogged with contractors and volunteers pretty much every day through the spring and summer.

39-17-1311 as quoted specifically says it applies to weapons listed in 39-17-1302(a), which seem for the most part to be class-3 type items and melee weapons. Wouldn't that mean that 39-17-1311 doesn't apply to legally posessed handguns with a permit, or would 39-17-1302(a)(8) cover that? ISTM that handgun carry with a permit does have a common lawful purpose, otherwise we wouldn't have a permit process.

My prediction is that you should check the TDOT smartmap before leaving the house. TDOT Smartmap

It's not just for National Parks in TN. You can carry in any National Park that is located in a state that recognizes TN permits. It's true that posted signs don't apply for the outdoor National Park areas. Federal law prohibits carrying in posted buildings where National Park Service employees are working. So the ranger station/welcome center is almost always a no-no. Gift shops vary. Most of those are staffed by contractors, so you could carry there. I know the one up on Clingman's Dome is staffed by Park Rangers, is posted, and is off-limits. Most (if not all) hotels in the park system are operated by contractors. Those would be fine to carry in by federal law. After that, I'm pretty sure state law kicks in. Since TN now allows a business to post, I would think any posted building in a National Park in TN would be off-limits. Does anyone know if that's true? If so, then a building in a park in a state that doesn't do postings would be OK, posted or not, so long as actual park service employees don't work there.

That's sort of where my thinking was going too. I didn't think someone could be guilty of fraud if they're an unknowing victim of the fraud. As for the liability transfering to the new owner, yeah, I think it would if the liability was a real mortgage/lien on the property. Title insurance would cover that though unless the title search showed the lien and the transaction was completed anyway. That would seem to imply that the receiver knowingly took posession of the property AND the liabilities. If the seller had a verbal agreement with the 3rd party, and nothing else, I'd say the 3rd party is getting screwed out of their money on this one unless the 3rd party could prove the receiver knew about the verbal contract.

I'm considering the class. I really don't know much at all about ham except for what I see on TV/movies, which does look pretty useful and interesting. I guess it's like most hobbies. It's easier to get into it if you know someone that's in it and can catch the bug from them after seeing how cool it is. I just don't know anyone who's into it. I guess the class is as good of a way as any to meet someone in it. Otherwise, anyone in the Nashville area willing to give a tour of their setup to some guy from the Internet (me)?

Fist a vampire elf, now a zombie Santa....I love this site.

Safety first! Without that orange flyer, nobody would have noticed he was hauling anything.

Thanks. That's very helpful.

All your base are belong to us! Like JPS, it's something I've been interetsed in, but have no idea what kind of costs there are to get started. I understand it depends on "what you want to do", but surely there's a beginner range of costs. Are we talking $200? $1500? The price of a small house?

If I show up and say my name is toddshould, can I get a 6% discount?

The 5.11 Tactical Covert Khakis are the only ones that I see which would be considered business casual. As a general rule, cargo pants are not business casual. They me be acceptable in a specific workplace, but they are not business casual.
