Sheriff's employees may have profited during ammo shortage
A.J. Holst replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
Agreed, violating department policy is the least of their worries. Where's all the ammo, if you can't produce it, explain these unusual deposits in your account, where did that money come from, so it was from selling ammo...let's talk about tax stamps...by the way where are your dealer / business licenses issued by the appropriate state and federal agencies... -

Despite new law, guns still banned at Memphis in May
A.J. Holst replied to The Legion's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Since they choose to erroneously interpret the law, simple erroneously interpret their interpretation and legally carry your firearm.. While it is my right to OC, I choose to stay under the radar and CC with cover garments and/or pockets... -

Already have plans but I think this would be invaluable for left handed shooters - sorry I'm going to miss it. -

My advice is be really patient and try to find a private sale by expanding your search radius. From the dealer side (in East TN) , trucks bring premium money, even with miles in excess of 150k. Franchise dealers are retaining trade-in trucks with miles in excess of 200k My lender clients are simply amazed at the prices dealers will pay for trucks going through the repo lane.

Home Defense Shotgun - What is your take
A.J. Holst replied to Pete123's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Having taken a shotgun class with Randy, one overlooked item is making sure the shotgun fits you. Randy noticed I was having difficulty quickly bringing to shoulder and transitioning to my weak side. He quickly determined the stock was too long. I have subsequently cut down the stock, added a recoil pad and now I can more easily manipulate the shotgun (18.5" Rem 870 tactical) -
The gal says I peed, the reporter doesn't even acknowledge or seem to care what she said as it doesn't pertain to the "news event". She simply continues to question her...the gal doesn't seem to realize that even though the camera is on and the reporter is asking questions that she can walk away at any time. You see a reporter, evade or escape, stop their encroachment and tell them to "back off"

A thought from a member on the LE threads.
A.J. Holst replied to Chucktshoes's topic in General Chat
I think part of the problem is many (some) enter LE as a job for a check as opposed to the passion and desire to be a "cop" Salary ranges in non metro / rural area ate not levels to attract the best of the best. -
Private Rifle Class Knoxville April 2015...AAR added
A.J. Holst replied to Jamie Jackson's topic in Training Discussions
First time I have ever taken a rifle class. Designed for 25 yards and less (Zombies encroaching on your property to the home invasion) Day started with admin / safety briefing and dry work (weapon manipulation and mag retention) Mag retention for home defense make obvious sense to me now...chances are you will not be strapping on your belt or chest rig with multi mags but rather grabbing an extra and stuffing it in your pocket or waist band - keeping a partially loaded mag in this scenario is not a bad idea. Gear and gunz...I went minimalist and worked out of my pockets. I did not have a sling - mistake, kind of...when transitioning form rifle to pistol I had to either drop my rifle for a 2-hand pistol grip or tuck under my arm for a one-hand grip. Have a sling on your home defense rifle/carbine. I shot my HiPoint 995 with TS Stock and $30 BSA Red Dot. It was flawless and ran as well as the Tavors, ARs and AKs. I was concerned about the 10 round capacity, but with an emphasis on pro-active reloads and mag retention and extra mags in my pocket, I didn't feel "under-gunned" Being a lefty, I followed the "step to the right" and shot off-hand. I can't imagine how difficult it would have been to do this with irons, the Red Dot made it "easy" to acquire the target with my non-dominant eye. The benefit was stepping to my strong side, my groups tightened up noticeably. I wasn't sure if the cheap red dot would hold zero, but with the light 9mm recoil, I think it's a keeper. -
April 19 Knoxville Suarez Training Group
A.J. Holst replied to Cruel Hand Luke's topic in Training Discussions
For those thinking about training with Randy but still not 100% sure, I'll try to cover that angle... This was a training day which is more of a skills assessment vs. a "formal" class Day starts off with admin / safety briefing then on to fundamentals and dry work (grip, trigger, draw stroke, etc) Randy includes his abbreviated version of PESTS EAT FAST, complete dissertation here: https://homeguntraining.wordpress.com/2013/08/04/dealing-with-pests/ I personally like both the "pre-shootin" stuff; fundamentals review with a professional allows for immediate correction. Whether the full version or abbreviated, PESTS EAT FAST is a stark reminder that a BG will get as close as possible to assault you or your loved ones. Attendees gear varied from modular belt systems to minimalist EDC set-ups. It's not a tactical fashion show - have a good belt and holster, comfortable clothes, hat / eyes / ears, an extra mag or 3 and ammo you are pretty well good to go. The rain brought an interesting dynamic with extra cover garments and a sloppy deck. Learned to work with extra cover and I believe it was Timcar86 who brought up drawstrings and holstering. Randy gives out no prizes for fastest to re-holster and I think we've all seen the Youtube videos where a frog was caught in a trigger guard while holstering and BANG...The muddy deck made you think about stable / secure footing as you made the decision to draw. I think JReedEsq rubbed off on me - I too mucked up my mags. Since I carry what is considered a military and law enforcement duty sidearm, I wiped my mags on my pants to get as much mud out as possible and keep on going...I am pleased to announce no feed/eject malfs and I don't think anyone else had any issues with their pistols. (CZ, G-lock, Sig, Springfield, Smith) I noticed as my mags / mag well got gritty, I couldn't "cheat" and rely on gravity for my mag to free-fall, first time I've actually seen the need to strip a mag...good exposure to the reason one should develop this habit. The FAM Exam...Everyone in the class is watching...is the shooter ready...3 second delay...exhale...BEEP...shoot...repeat...failed to qualify...this time. Cool parts...seeing former training partners, making new friends and putting screen names with real people, realizing what an interesting cross-section of folks show up (novice to expert shooters, health care providers, educators, professionals, service providers and the oddfellows like me and Prag... The Randy Review - low key, non-type-A personality, qualified to teach (dude can actually do what he is teaching) life-long learner/student, king of the analogy; I would consider him a Professional Expert. Having exclusively trained with Randy since 2010 (yikes) I am a fan, consider him a friend and consider myself a client...so I am biased. I hope all the attendees felt the event was a valuable investment of resources and time, I know we are trying to schedule some stuff up for the fall, but we can discuss summer events... I thank you all for allowing me to open the Sunday session with my favorite prayer! Dear Jesus, Please make us an instrument of your peace,where there is hatred let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy! Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is giving that we receive, in pardoning that we are pardoned and in dying that we are born to eternal life! AMEN -
I paid $10.97 at the Chapman highway Walmart. Shot close to 350 rounds through my Hi-Point carbine and 75B Omega Saturday / Sunday. No malfunctions and pretty clean shooting stuff. Interestingly I noticed on the box distributed by Tul, made in Italy.
