It was a quiet neighborhood in Bellevue. Not exactly East St. Louis.

It didn't make me mad. It just had some of us thinking you're a jackwagon who would like to lie in wait at night to kill someone breaking in to your shed. That's how it sounded without the back story. No harm, no foul.

Inside jokes are rarely funny on the outside.

yeah, but don't put the mothballs too close to a water source. They'll harm the fur-bearing trout.

I use a Remora with an attached mag pouch for my Kahr PM9. It looks like this, but with a different gun. If you carry your gun OWB, there are OWB holsters with a similar setup where the gun and extra mag are on the same holster setup.

The peak should be tonight after midnight. I'm hoping for clear skies.

I'm sure it will show up at least 3 more times in this thread.

They drink so much of it because they burn it off so fast. Kind of like the 12,000 calorie/day Michael Phelps diet.

Was it Buford?

Had the man been wearing a badge, snuck up on a person breaking no laws, and intimidated her with a firearm and a vague threat about "protecting the neighborhood" without some other extenuating information, that would be a person soon to be not wearing a badge.

On a somewhat lighter note, I was locked out of my house because I went for a walk before the power went out. My wife and I had gone for a walk in the neighborhood and I only took the garage door remote with me. Oops. Lesson learned.

What else should she have done? Kept driving along a darkened winding road taking an important call that's requiring her attention? Just pulled over on the non-existent shoulder? She did exactly as she was supposed to do. Dude playing Rick Grimes is a paranoid jackass. If Bellevue can go through the floods we went through in 2010 without devolving into Lord of the Flies, a simple power outage hardly justifies patrolling with a long gun. Cell service was up. The low clouds still had that dull pink glow of the Nashville light pollution. It was clear this wasn't some widespread EOTWAWKI event, and Bellevue is not exactly a powder-keg waiting for any little thing to send us all into a rampaging looting frenzy. As far as the cul-de-sac goes, (and I'm only guessing) it was likely one of several "neighborhoods" on the main road that leads to the neighborhood where KahrMan and I live. There are 3 or 4 in a row that are little more than a cul-de-sac with 20-30 houses.

I've always been a little unclear on the misdemeanor thing. I know that a cop has to witness it to make the charge themselves, but can't the citizen also witness it and make the charge? I guess what I'm asking is "how does citizen's arrest work in TN?" and no, I don't mean Gomer Pyle running around yelling "citizens arrest! citizens arrest!"

You could change the sign in Frame 3 to any of several other alphabet agencies and it would ring just as true.

You can only use this if you wait a full second before releasing the trigger, or some other stupid "it matters how you use it" nonsense.

As far as keys go, we had two different house keys. I finally got tired of that and had all of the cylinders rekeyed to have one key. And I replaced the lock on the door we use most frequently with a digital keypad (not WiFi though so I can't control it via an app). No more house key for me. :) Any lock that can be a combination instead of a key is getting replaced. I only have the key for the vehicle which I'm driving. The keys for the others stay home. If I need to switch vehicles, I switch keys. I can't wait for TN-DOS to finally join this century and go digital on the identification. Then I can shed the DL and HCP and replace them with an App (or even better, an image in my existing KeyRing app). As NFC grows, soon enough I'll be able to shed the Credit and Debit cards too. I'll be left with an RFID card. I have a cheap Kershaw Burst knife that weighs a fairly light 4.6oz, but I see that the Protech Newport is only 2.2oz....tempting but pricey when compared to my cheap-o Kershaw. If I lose the Kershaw, I'm not going to cry about it.

Or get rid of most of that stuff and go minimalist. I'm working on slimming my wallet down to the bare necessities. If it wasn't for the stupid RFID card I have to carry to open doors at work and the fact that we have to keep the HCP with us even though it's the exact same number as the TNDL, I'd have it down to 3 cards and some paper cash. Coins quickly make their way to the cupholder and then to the coin box to be hauled off later to Coinstar. Right now it's phone, super slim wallet, car key, knife and (when I'm not at the office) gun. That reminds me....I need to find a lighter knife. I've thought about removing the car's remote from my key ring and going old-school with just the key.

No no no! It's SERENITY NOW!!!!!!

Lawful or not, it's not the smartest thing in the world to do right now. Kind of like Voldemort and his antics. Legal, but it gives us a bad rap.

I went down a year ago just for a road trip and to pick up some ammo and clips. The pickings were pretty slim on their racks. Definitely call before going down to see if the grade you're looking for is on the racks.

All Regals have always been posted, but it was a tiny quarter-sized gun buster on their rules page posted by each door. They have recently added their much larger (8x8 ish?) gunbusters at all locations.

There's no checkpoint when entering the parking lot. The museum has a fence around it to separate it from the secure area of WPAFB, but it's still part of WPAFB.
