  No need to worry about anything except the BATFE, FBI, DHS.  "Where the law is, crime can be found."  - A. Solzhenitsyn

If we didn't give them spare parts, or if we don't give them spare parts, the equipment is useless.  Fighters and tanks are high-maintenance.   Sort of reminds me of the flap over China buying an aircraft carrier recently.  Someone commented that owning an aircraft carrier is fairly easy.  Conducting flight operations from a carrier is not easy.

I don't qualify - don't have enough AR mags.  :D   Seriously, I'd wait until it's built before buying in.  I've seen what happens to developers' dreams and who holds the bag when the dream goes down the sewer.

I don't trust him -  he's a politician, ain't he?

Charleston, TN in northern Bradley County.  It's fairly close to Chattanooga.

Welcome!

I believe that Volkswagen will make their choice of manufacturing location based on money, as every company should, but I don't like them trying to influence legislation in Tennessee.   If they think that their money should buy them votes in Nashville, then they should build in Mexico - we're not for sale.

And, if no one volunteers?  What if the teacher just wants to be a teacher and not an armed guard?  What if the armed teacher decides not to engage the shooter, trusting that someone else will?   A conspicuous, uniformed, armed security guard (job description "Guard", not 'Teacher") in a school fills the need much better than a volunteer teacher, in my opinion.

Not until warmer weather.

I've polished one feed ramp in my life, and it didn't NEED it.  It was rough, I was curious.  I used crocus cloth around a pencil and polished in the direction of bullet feed.  I would never use a Dremel tool to polish a ramp - too much speed that leads to too much metal removed.   If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Stop the madness!!  :D

High shelf, out of sight if possible, train the kids to shoot and handle firearms safely as young as possible.

  They're too beautiful and expensive to use as a club.

If I were a teacher, and could legally carry, I would.  BUT, I wouldn't reasonably expect a teacher to carry a handgun and defend other people with it, for many reasons - interest, mindset, training, liability.  I woudn't volunteer to protect others, outside of my family.  I may protect others, but I don't want the obligation.   I think it's much more reasonable to establish a security office within each school district and/or county, staffed with sworn, armed security guards (possibly attached to the local police or sheriff's office), trained just like the LEO's, equipped just like the LEO's, with the same legal protections.  Assign one or more guards to each school as required.  Totally locally controlled, no federal government, no state government involvement.  Funded by the taxpayers (who pay for everything anyway).

Loaded, all day, every day.  You don't lock up your fire extinguishers at night, do you?  Always carry a spare tire?

It was manufactured from 1983 to 1988.  Give me the first 5 of the serial number, including letters, and I may be able to narrow it down.

Welcome!

Howdy!

I dug out my SCSW and started looking up your pistol. First thing I found is that S&W chambered pistols in .32 S&W and in .32 WCF, also know as .32-20. S&W made 3 different models in .32 S&W from 1880 to 1970 with the same serial number range as yours, so I'd need a picture to identify the model. If your revolver is truly marked .32 WCF then, from the serial #, it's a S&W Hand Ejector, Model of 1905, 4th change, made between 1915 (SN 65701) and 1940 (SN 144684).

My 1894 in .44 is a real thumper.

Can we still say ***, ****, ********** and (&()*#@&#% ?   You realize you should have locked this thread?   :D

Howdy!

I wouldn't even consider SOB carry.  Strong side IWB, OWB or pocket for me.  YMMV.

What - no Picatinny rail?  Really . . . .  ;D

Just on a whim, I bought an ammo can full of .22's last summer at Cabela's.  Weird, huh?  :D
