This. Anyone can go there to shoot the pistol or 100 yd ranges, but you have to become an annual member for the 200 yd, IIRC. I heard years ago that you also had to pass a shooting test at 100 yds distance. Don't know if that's true or not, but it makes sense. Their 200 yard lanes (all 2 of them) force you to shoot through some large culvert-type steel pipes which form holes in the 100 yd berm to get you out to the 200 yard berm. I can understand them not wanting yahoos shooting up the pipes. I don't know if the shooting test is still required, or if it ever really was.

If anyone finds out how to get on their waiting list, let me know. I've been trying to figure that out off and on for a couple of years now.

Short of buying your own land, you're out of luck. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Several of us are in Bellevue. Welcome to the suckiest location on Middle TN for range access. No matter which one you choose, you're looking at about an hour each way. There's Cheatham WMA range, but I'm pretty sure it's also 100 yards. The TWRA range at Stones River has 2 lanes that go to 200 yds, but you have to be an annual member to use them (IIRC), they're only open Fri-Sun, and they're usually stupid busy. Chapel Hill has Strategic Edge, but it has a long waiting list. It goes out to 1,250 yds. Gallatin Gun Club is currently searching for land to build a new range since we got kicked out of the TVA property. It was 300 yds and the new one is expected to be that long or more. No promises, but I'll be very surprised if it's not at least 300 yds.

I agree with OS. If this isn't an NFA item, then there's no legal prohibition with you storing it at her place in Kentucky. No need at all to add it to the trust.

Welcome aboard.

Out of stock on both colors, but a great sign for a new golden age in low AR pricing.

This makes me want to give my Beretta some range time.

Wait . . . you mean that's NOT Memphis?

No, state law does not say you can't be fired for doing so. It says that the fired employee may seek damages against the employer. The employer can fire the employee, but needs to be prepared to defend itself or pay up, or more likely, give any other reason or no reason at all to fire the employee. That's when contracts come into play because some do require cause for termination. The employer just has to gin up some other cause and they're home free unless the terminated employee can prove otherwise. That's usually an expensive task and probably why we have no case law that any of us know about.

If it's on me, and I'm in a vehicle, it too, is in a vehicle.

Agreed. That comment is untrue. The statute says nothing about on-body carry in a vehicle.

Technically, no. As Oh Shoot pointed out, termination or any other negative employment action taken against her because of having a lawfully possessed firearm in her own vehicle would allow her to sue for damages. In the real-world, the employer can simply take that exact same negative employment action up to and including termination, without giving a reason. An exception might be in a teacher's union contract where that can't happen, in which case the school system might have to provide a reason. It would depend on the terms of the employment contract. Even that wouldn't stop them from citing some other reason. It might be quite difficult to prove that the firearm was the reason for the negative employment action, but if it could be proven, then she can sue for damages. Of course all of that requires money, so the end result is that in most cases, I suspect that the employee is just fired and it never goes anywhere after that.

There's not one. 300winmag was simply opining that with a permit we can have one on school property as long as it remains in the car, but it's a veritable free-for-all for our neighbors to the south. Oh Shoot is correct. It wouldn't violate any laws for her to keep one in her car at work, but it might violate an employment rule. Kind of like how it's not against the law to tell your boss you think he sucks, but it's a great way to get fired. However, as OS also pointed out, employers can no longer take action without opening themselves up to a lawsuit. Real-world circumstances though typically make most people play by their employer's rules, regardless of what the law does or doesn't say.

You can get them at any county clerk's office in the state. A smaller county may not have any on hand, but they can get them.

It's creating two unique paths: https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/classifieds/item/14-cabelas-polar-cap%C2%AE-equalizer-cooler-60-qt/ https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/101459-cabelas-polar-cap®-equalizer-cooler-60-qt/

That's a steal. I got a 45qt a few months back for the same price. I think they finally got their supply chain issue worked out and increased their total volume, which has reduced their cost per unit. Prices have been falling nicely.

Except that we don't currently have an actual Secretary of the Army, just an "acting" one. I'm not sure if an acting Secretary has the authority or not.

Yeah, I know. I just had a senior moment. I crossed 40 and look what happens.

Doh! I'm living in the past. It used to be that they could be off-limits but had to be posted.

The migration of Yankees usually centers around the cities. If you look at an election map, you'll see Nashville and Memphis as bright red blots on an otherwise beautiful blue state. If you can avoid Davidson Co, do it. There are still some nice areas, but the property taxes are higher than any other surrounding county, and it's a pain to deal with the city government for things like building permits simply due to the sheer size of the population. We're strained in many ways to handle the explosive growth we're seeing. Add in the city's worsening traffic, and just about any place else in Middle Tennessee looks better. Because of the building rush hour traffic, you may want to find a location which would be convenient for any work commute you may have. Mt. Juliet is about as red-blooded 'Murica! as it gets around here. If it was any darker blue, you'd need a flashlight to find your way around. Wilson Co. was a long bastion of blue-collar union Democrats. But in the past few years, many have woken up and realized that the Democrat party of the 50s is dead. My family is from Wilson Co. and have relatives who were dyed in the wool Democrats that are some of the most ardent Trump supporters now. Williamson Co. is much more blue than Davidson Co, but you'll find some limousine liberals there. It's certainly the more upscale area and is one of the wealthiest counties in the southeast, even when you factor in the more rural areas near Fairview.

Tennessee doesn't allow counties to pass their own laws about carry, purchase, and ownership. The state is the end-all-be-all of gun legislation. So what goes in one county, goes in all of them*. We have no FOID requirement. We can carry in our own cars without a permit. Our permits are Handgun Carry Permits and allow your choice of open or concealed carry. These are shall-issue. You can own NFA items here. All NFA laws apply. CLEO signature is a shall-issue in these cases. There are some places off-limits even with a permit. These places have to be properly posted as no-gun areas. You'll find more of those in the blue Davidson County than you will in the red Williamson County, but they still exist there too.** As in most states, schools and universities are their own animals with various special provisions. Won't bore you with the details unless you want them. *An exception is that city ordinances can control the times of day and locations where firearms may be discharged. It's more or less a noise-ordinance kind of thing. **Parks operated by a city/county can be made off-limits, but they have to post the park with signs, just like any business or other government facility. This is an example of Davidson vs Williamson. Davidson's are posted, Williamson's are not. State Parks are carry friendly by state law.

Yeah, mine still said "processing" even when I had my check in hand.

I don't know for sure, but since the sale is stopped at the point of sale due to being an out of state buyer, I'd think the seller's location is what matters. In this case, Texas. To get something in District 6, we'd need someone to attempt an out-of-state purchase from a dealer located in any of the District 6 states. If you want to head up to Kentucky and be our test case, go for it Since the District 5 case is currently in an appellate court, I'd expect the 6th District court to sit on it until that appeal was complete, one way or another. In theory, if the appeal is denied, then yes, dealers in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi could indeed sell to buyers from any state. Dealers in other states wouldn't have a ruling from their own district court, so they'd be taking a chance by selling to an out of state buyer that their own district court would rule the same way District 5 did. That's the way I understand it, anyway. I'm not a lawyer and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. This is not legal advice, just one monkey's understanding of how this mess of a legal system works.
