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.

I'm thin too, and it does make hiding it harder. I have found that 6 o'clock carry hides it the best with an IWB. The recess at the small of the back makes a nice space to minimize the bulging gun/holster. It's fine for walking around, but it's not very comfortable seated, so I never carry there, though it does hide better. It would also hurt like hell if you slipped on an icy sidewalk. if you go far enough towards the small of your back, consider a holster built for your opposite hand. I'm right handed, and can draw easily from about the 4:00 or 4:30 position with a right handed holster. If I were to go further around, I'd prefer a left-handed holster, but still draw with my right. The lefty will switch the direction the grip is pointed. That's true of both IWB (Inside the Waistband) and OWB (Outside the Waistband) holsters.

I have a Pentax Gameseeker from Cameras, Binoculars, Spotting Scopes, Rifle Scopes - Camera Land NY on my Savage MkII. Click the Demos/Sample drop down at the top. As far as I could tell, it was NIB and about 1/2 the normal price. And what's wrong with $5K rims on a '93 Skylark? I mean, if you're going to put $8K into a stereo for that bad boy, you need some nice rims to go with it.

Looks like they have everything except sporting clays, and just $75/year for dues ($100 for first year). Not bad, but only open Saturdays and Sundays if that makes a difference. I couldn't find their prices for the skeet/trap rounds. Surely the membership doesn't include all-you-can-shoot. Maury County Gun Club - Columbia TN

CHMR has a couple of spring loaded clay throwers. It's just a fun setup, not for scoring/competition. You have to be a member or with a member to shoot there. It's only $40 per year and the best shooting value I know of. Especially for rifle. PM me and I'd be glad to meet you down there on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and let you shoot as my guest. $5 for non-members. NGC has a lot more to offer on the clays: Skeet, Trap, and Sporting Clays, but zero on the rifles and handguns.Plus their membership isn't real cheap at $300/yr for an individual. The way I figure it, I'd have to shoot 5 1/2 rounds of skeet/trap or 3 rounds of sporting clays every month of the year to break even. If you'll shoot that much or more, join up. I'd suggest going a few times and pay the non-member prices. If not, you don't have to be a member to shoot there. If you really enjoy and think you'll go often enough, then join up.

When I first started carrying (concealed), I was thinking I was wearing a flashing neon sign that says "THIS GUY HAS A GUN!!!". I realize now that most people in a store, if asked, would say "what guy?" The more I wore it, the less I'd fidget with it. A G27 isn't heavy compared to a full-sized steel framed .45, but it's not exactly a mouse gun. There's enough weight to cause the belt/waistband to sag unless you get a good stiff belt. Once I added a gun belt to my setup, I found that I didn't fidget with my holster as much becasue I didn't need to keep readjusting it. Because the holster is kept in place better, I trust that my shirt remains tucked in, or not hung on the grip if I'm untucked, so I don't feel like I have to do the shirt-tail tug everytime I stand up from a chair. Here's a thread that may help you see various ways of concealing. Some stuff won't be applicable since her videos are tailored for women.

If you can't find what you need locally, check out Aradyne Flags at Buy Flags, Flag manufacturer, Online Flags, Flag Makers, US Flags - Aradyne Flags . It's a company in Texas. Their American flags are made here in the US. I don't know about their other flags. The stars are embroidered, not stamped/printed. I think they sew on the stars on really big flags. I've purchased several 3'x5' all-weather nylon ones over the past decade from them. I've never had one tear. I replace them due to fading after about 3 years of non-stop service. The Boy Scouts retire them for me.

One idea I saw for the "keyed on both sides" locks is to buy a dimmer switch. You just need the plate and the knob istelf. Toss the electrical part. Super glue the knob onto the key. Grind the key "handle" as needed to make it fit right. Then cut a small slit in your drywall and screw the plate over it somewhere near the door. No need for an actual electrical box. Now you can put the key in the slot in the swicthplate and it looks like a dimmer switch, but it's really your key. So in a fire, you can always find a key to unlock the door and escape, but it's hidden from anyone looking in the windows. My mother-in-law was at home a couple of years ago during an armed home invasion. It's what finally lit the fire under me to go get armed, trained, and my HCP and why my wife agreed to do the same. They kicked in the front door. The lock itself was fine (Baldwin brand), but the door and door frame failed. It was an oak door. It split at the bolt and so did the door frame, allowing the bolt to slip out of place. Steel and fiberglass doors are supposed to be superior in this regard. Some of the fiberglass ones look great, exactly like real wood. I know some doors are made with thicker door jambs than others. You'd probably have to replace the whole thing including the door to change it. Perhaps a longer striker plate that would allow screw points several inches above and below the cutout for the bolt would help. It should spread the stress along the board instead of concentrating it in the 2" to 3" area of a typical striker plate. I'm thinking 8" to 12" or longer. The plate on the opening side should have a similar effect. Pella makes some system that has multiple bolts connected to the single deadbolt lock mechanism. I know it has at least 1 on the side and 1 on the top. I think they may have a model that has 3 on the side, 1 on the top, and 1 on the bottom. Similar to how most safes work. I bet that would spread the stress pretty well during a brute-force attack on the door. I always liked watching "It Takes a Thief". I always learned something new on how theives choose the target home, how they gain entry, or where they look for the good stuff.

The seller must collect sales tax if they have a presence in the destination state. Presence would be a store, warehouse, office, etc. That's true of all Internet purchases, not just firearms. In cases where sales tax is not collected by the seller, officially, the buyer is supposed to fill out a TN Dept of Revenue form and mail in the sales tax. Just because the seller doesn't have a duty to collect the tax doesn't mean it isn't owed to the state by the buyer. I'm sure we all keep copies of those forms handy. The FFL won't collect the sales tax because they are not the seller.

Congrats...now where's that safe-clearing sale?

Nice to know. I stand corrected.....get a will.

Sure they do. If they didn't have a permit, then a gunbuster sign wouldn't apply to them. Duh....that sign is up to stop killers.

Stay away from RCA, Westinghouse, and Zenith. They're pretty much the bottom of the bottom, along with the brands nobody has ever heard of. The picture is usually lousy and they're often about the same price as a better one. Vizio does seem to have a good rep as a bargain TV. That Vizio model at WM is also available on Amazon for $299.99. About $20 less than WM once you factor in sales tax. Amazon.com: Vizio E320VL 32-inch 720p LCD HDTV: Televisions & Video

In TN, I'm pretty sure it all goes to your spouse. If you both go together, it divides evenly between kids after any debts are paid. "Evenly" is decided by a judge. He may order all assets sold and the proceeds divided evenly. If there are step kids or ex-wives in the picture, it can get sticky. As said before, it's cheap. No reason not to have one.

Oh, I don't know. My short list would probably include: the personal computer the Internet GPS satellites an artificial heart digital imaging cellular telephones

Food Another +1 for Jack's. Great BBQ. +1 for the Loveless Cafe If you want some really awesome pizza, try Pizza Perfect on 21st Avenue. Pizza Perfect: General Info There are some places in "The Gulch" that are all urban-hipster chic. Sambuca and Casa Laredo come to mind. Wild Wasabi is a sushi place in Cummins Station (Demonbreun and ?9th?). It's yummy and not overpriced. Attractions +1 for the TN State Museum. It's F.R.E.E. and that spells free. Hours & Admission > Visitors Connected to it is the TN Military Museum. It is also free, but has different operating hours. They have some cool stuff. Military Branch Museum > Exhibits The Capitol building is just up the hill and is also free. A couple of hours could get you through all 3. On the back side of the Capitol is Bicentennial Mall. It's a park. Has some really nice features reflecting different parts and times of our great state. Weekends at the Farmers' Market (just past Bicentennial Mall) are like a flea market atmosphere. If you need an airbrushed T-shirt of President Obama with some big gold dollar signs in the background, this is the place to go. Opryland Hotel is pretty neat. +1 on the park across the street and walk over. Since you'll be downtown, there's a place on 2nd Ave just up from Wildhorse called Laser Quest. I think there's one in Knoxville, but ours has one of the best mazes I've seen. If you're a country music fan, do the Hall of Fame. If not, it's a lot of money to look at rhinestone jackets and guitars. +1 on a Predators game if they're at home during your visit. Shopping The chains and malls will be primarily Cool Springs and Green Hills if you're downtown. Green Hills is the high-end stuff. I'd recommend going to the Loveless Cafe for breakfast, and then driving the Natchez Trace Parkway down to Leiper's Fork. It's a small town with some unique shops, but not so many that you'll go crazy waiting for her to finish. From there, drive on to Franklin. Have lunch at H.R.H Dumplins or Meridee's. Both are just off the square. More shopping there too. Come back to Nashville on I-65 from Franklin and you'll go right by Cool Springs. Stop for the chain stores if she's into that.

True. So far we've only seen people killed by Z's come back as Z's. Infected by the virus but still alive could have different results.

I liked that Carol took over the pick to finish off Ed out of what appeared to be either love or duty, then proceeded to take out her hatred of the man. I was surprised that they left Jim behind like that. I thought their final act before driving away would be to shoot him. I know Rick offered him a revolver to do it himself, Knowing hat he'd end up being a walker at best, and fresh walker food at worst, it seems that killing him would be the thing. I can understand them not doing. That would be a really hard thing to do. I'm just surprised they didn't kill him. Or let him do it and then retreive the gun.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned "Night of the Comet" yet...... Night of the Comet (1984) - IMDb I watched 28 Days Later over the long weekend. It was obviously lower budget and not a lot of Z's, but the overall acting was credible. As a movie, It was OK. That is, up until the time when a bicycle courier whips a trained Army unit because he wanted his girl back. OK, so he had help from a couple of Zs. It seemed to have one of the more credible and frighteningly real-world-possible basis for where the Zs came from. It did make me glad that we have guns in this country and that I need more of them and more ammo.

Short season if next week is season finale. Does anyone know if this will be one of those shows like Heroes that "ends" in December, only to start the next season in the spring?

We have a lot of lazy people around the Interwebs... Let me google that for you

Now watch the Metro Council vote to post the convention center like they did to make the Arena smoke free right after spending a ton of money on the ventilation system for the cigar bar area of the restaurant.
