  1. The new one in Florida doesn't look good for the shooter either.
  2. Yep. He's on the Republican Primary ticket. Given the choices, I might vote for the man. Erik88 provided links to his sites on the last page of this thread. Though according to Basil's official site, he's running for "gpvernor"
  3. I have the same problem. Since GGC closed up, I don't have a good place to go any more. I squeezed off a few rounds back in May at GnL Hendersonville, but I just don't enjoy indoor ranges as much as outdoor.
  4. On a positive note, I see that Basil Marceaux is back on the ballot for governor....
  5. I'm on a site that has "Hosts @ Admins Day" at random times, usually only about once every few years. For that day, the H&As have absolute power to do anything they want. Posts, avatars, signatures, etc. can all get changed at the whim of an H&A. Certain words are auto-replaced with other words to hilarious effect on the uninitiated, entire boards disappear and are replaced with something else, usually a parody of the board that was removed, crazy stuff in general. H&As make arbitrary and often capricious rules as they see fit, and change them anytime they want throughout the day. Rule violations come with a variety of punishments from being pounced on by the peanut gallery on up to and including being banned for the rest of the day. Then the next day it's (mostly) all reversed and put back to normal. There are usually a few lingering effects (like maybe an Admin is slow to return some particularly butt-hurt member's avatar to normal), but it's fun and a good way for H&As to blow off some steam.
  6. https://www.wkrn.com/news/death-of-murfreesboro-doctor-at-shooting-range-under-investigation/1285195335 No foul play suspected, but the investigation is still ongoing.
  7. That reminds me of when I was working a summer job at my buddy's "Island Times" convenience store. There I was, minding my own business, probably doing something mundane like cleaning my fingernails or something. This guy comes in, clearly having had a few too many beers on his charter boat. He kept mumbling something about "bread" and flashing 2 dollars to everyone in the store. I figured he wanted to know where the bread was so I walked him to the bread rack. Crazy drunk pulled a gun on me! True story.
  8. I'd gladly give up 1 seat in the Senate to put someone like Cruz on the SCOTUS for the next 30-40 years.
  9. Try Wilson Bank & Trust. They're good people.
  10. I think there's a better than average chance it will come back. Kim's father and grandfather used it as a PR focal point of how they stuck it to the Americans. Kim can use its return as a strong sign of goodwill that costs him very little.
  11. I don't call ahead and tell the Wal-Mart manager I'll be carrying when I shop in his store and I don't tell my barber I'm carrying when I get a haircut. A charter operator is no different. It's a business operating to the public.
  12. The dead give away for me are the guys dressed in various shades of tan and olive drab. Especially cargo pants/shorts, 5.11 shirt, and a fishing vest when it's a bajillion degrees outside. I just assume anyone dressed like John Goodman in The Big Lebowski is carrying.
  13. I feel like I need to get a "Bill Paxton as Virgil Earp" avatar to participate on this thread. I'm squarely in the camp of keeping it hidden as best I can. I'm glad though that we don't have to in TN so it's not something I really worry about a whole lot. I found a rig that works for me and now I "set it and forget it". The key is finding the gun, holster, and belt that works best for you. I'm thin(ish) so I've given up on concealing a double-stack anything except in winter when I can wear a jacket. I've tried multiple holsters and belts and double-stacks just don't work for me because of their thickness and weight. My medical condition known as noassatall means heavier guns tend to pull on my pants, even with a good gun belt. A Kahr PM9 or M&P Shield in a thin holster works well for me, especially if I can set the depth real low. Currently I'm using Remora holsters. I can keep them riding real low and the clipless design makes it easy to take the gun off and on without unhosltering or fumbling with clips. I've tried Remora holsters with larger (ie. Glock G26) guns and they don't work as well for me. With my build, anything more than the light single-stacks means I need a gun belt and clip holster and even then it's iffy. With the single-stacks I can use pretty much any belt I want and don't have to use a gun belt to prevent a sagging waist band. The gun belts are fine most of the time, but sometimes they're just not the look I'm going for.
  14. I'm just guessing at Raoul's meaning, but the current situation provides a nice steady, albeit small in the big picture, flow of arms and materiel to the South in the forms of both direct US troops and selling them our stuff. That means money in the pockets of certain people who pay a sizeable chunk of it to political war chests. The current stalemate also gives us a pretty good excuse to keep troops deployed on China's doorstep. There's also the short-term pain of reunification. Germany felt it in the 90s when the west had to pay to bring the east forward almost a half-century in infrastructure and education. That hurt the German economy for several years. The south would have to do the same for the north and would feel that economic strain. We do a lot of trade with South Korea these days in technology and industrial products so it would hurt us a little too, but I'd expect that to be rather negligible given the size of our economy.
  15. You'd think having a story about getting shot by a drunk back-flipping break-dancing FBI agent would be enough to get him free drinks for life already.
  16. If you have a SUB-2000 purchased in 2017 or 2018, check your serial number. Some shipped with bad barrels. https://recalls.keltecweapons.com/
  17. I opened up a spot. Not renewing my membership.
