nope.

OK, my questions have been answered. It just stands out as I see it and I drive it often enough to see it. However I just pulled up a map of the area that shows the boundaries of the city. That section of interstate might be outside of the city unless they have annexed additional and since this map was drawn. I will dig into that further on my own, but would only need if I were to get a ticket by them there. Like I said I have not nor do I know anyone that has. I have heard in recent years they may have annexed some land toward that direction so it is possible that map may not be current.

Ghstface38, I totally understand a large city like Memphis, Knoxville, Nashville and others that have multiple ramps, sometimes multiple interstate exchanges. I know it is not uncommon to drive though Knoxville and see city police on those interstate roads. I guess it seems another thing a city of 2,500 people (from the 2000 census) using their one set of ramps to access the interstate to write tickets. However like you pointed out, I guess if it falls in their city limits it is fair game.

BTW, I got carried away with writing, I guess I may have forgot to put my question in. Does it seem to be in a city's jurisdiction to write speeding tickets on interstates? Seems they should be in the city doing what is needed around town, even if it is a small town.

I want to ask a jurisdiction question but lets be careful and not turn this into any type of LEO bashing, that is not my intent. I know in general State Troopers don't issue to many speeding tickets in towns and cities, most on the interstates and sometimes on county roads. Not sure about county sheriff deputies, last one I personally knew told me that county did not have radar guns because "writing speeding tickets did not get the Sheriff re-elected". My question is more about City Police and interstate highways. I am going to try to leave the city out of this, but lets say the very small city only has 1 set of ramps on and off. Yet, they do go up on the interstate and write speeding tickets, mainly on a down hill run. I was just wondering if it is legit for them to go up on the interstate and write speeding tickets, this is a section of interstate I know well and lets say there are no City limit signs, such as you are entering the city of . I have not got a ticket by them nor do I know anyone that has got a ticket so I don't really have a dog in this. However it seems a bit on the edge that they go up on the interstate to write tickets. I want to leave this city out as I don't want to start anything directly with the city. I drive though this one at often. I have seen them up their writing tickets enough that perhaps they should have to post a City Limits sign on the interstate to let people know when they are entering that city and that speed limits are enforced by radar guns just like they have when you enter that city from the county road. Maybe they should have to help the state with the repair costs of that section of interstate as well. This is just an isolated place which is why I don't want to call it out, for all I know some of the LEO's might be members here. I know they are probably just doing what they are told. BTW, I have seen other city police cars just east of Nashville, some where between Nashville and Cookville about a month ago on 2 different days. I didn't get the city of those cars but lets just say we were not even close to a city at that time, in fact if they had wrote me a ticket I would have quested whether or not I was inside any city limits or not.

True, but I like seeing more Pro Gun. IL is on my no travel list with NJ, NY

I was amused.

lets just say i was in KY last weekend. I had my .38 on my side and I might have had something else. Seems scanners are more legal trouble in your car in KY then a gun. I even read a post where a person went though the trouble of separating his scanner and battery while driving.

You beat me to it, I was planning to start a thread like this tonight. I do have one. I am sick and tired of never having enough cash to do anything. Ever since I have been paid via direct deposit, all my money hits the bank and I generally only go places I can use a credit card. Anytime I need just a little pocket money I end up needing to go to the bank and I am tired of it. Anytime my wife says something about lets go out to dinner my first thought is, I don't have any money handy for a tip. (I don't like tipping on a credit card, I prefer to leave a tip on the table for them). So, my Resolution is to keep 100 dollars of cash available. The break down is going to be something like 1x20, 6x10's and 20x1's. This is not going to be like everyday spending money or O i have some money lets go someplace. This is going to be for those unusual events when I need cash. I am going to treat it like a gas tank. When I do get into this money, my resolution has a follow up to replace it by the next pay period. Plus this would be good if for some reason I had to get up in the middle of the night and just go some place, I could get it.

I started to watch the Orignal True Grit last week on TV, but only got an hour into it before I had to leave. I have it added to my NetFlix queue.

I remember when I was in 5th grade a teacher telling us about irradiation to preserve food. I know it was 5th grade cause it was a teacher that I did not care for. I also remember that was toward the end of the cold war and everything Nuclear was BAD. I do understand the process now and still not certain I am ready for it. Remember, allot of people where afraid of those Microwaves as well, now almost every house has them.

I hope to see it Tuesday.

Not putting this under news since, not firearm related. As some of you know, i hobby with Scanners. I recently joined a message board that deals with almost everything about Scanners to ham radios. Let me tell you, they are as passionate about their radio scanners as we are about our guns. However I came across this News Story I thought I should share, it can serve as a reminder of knowing the laws of another state when crossing the border like some of us do often. Man Charged With Possession Of Illegal App Man Charged With Possession Of Illegal App - Louisville News Story - WLKY Louisville Some of the arguments on the message board included that could deem any smart phone illegal as it is not always required to install software to stream police audio from websites that provide it. They mirror our pro gun arguments. I am not going to copy and paste but if you want to see the actual law in another thread, along with a different topic. Mobile Scanner Legality Question - The RadioReference.com Forums Then post 17 and 18 got real interesting. I know this, I won't be taking a scanner into KY.

Like DaveTN said, and your Rights don't include on stepping on someone Else's. They own it, they can post it. It is our choice if we want to enter it, such as a mall. I would not risk it at all for the big no no places, say a city council meeting.

Funny this thread came back alive iwth another Much newer and current thread still on the front page. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handgun-carry-self-defense/50683-regal-cinemas-pinnicle-18-a.html It is a Zombie i tell you.

Allot of us perfer not to spend out money at places that do not welcome our guns. In the bad economy, it is a wonder they risk driving away business but some do.

That sounds like a good plan with the local farmers co-op. I will need to check around to see if we have something like that around here. I know we have a local farmers market a couple days a week, probably the closest thing but then just go and buy exactly what we we would want. You gave me some ideas for this coming year. I know how to grew it, I just don't have a place to grew it living here in the city. I did make me a small garden but not big enough. Going to expand it this year anyways.

Yes, with backups The backups are there just in case my wife needs one while I am away. She knows how to use them, also since she does not have her permit yet not to leave the house with them.

Dam it jay, I don't mind your gun, just don't mess up my chairs.

tnxdshooter, that beef sounds good. Wish I was a bit closer. I take it you raise them for slaughter and sell the meat or just for personal use?

true on the self-embalming. I am guilty as well.

I was thinking of Supersize me. Glad you put that clip up. I have found fries under car seats and they always look like they came from the fast food place.

There was a window of opportunity to order that has past for now. It may open again. I missed out as well, was to busy with hunting season and Christmas. I will try not to miss next time. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/general-off-topic/49249-im-thinking-about-having-some-tennessee-gun-owners-decals-made.html

You should have cut them open just to see.
