I hate Franklin Gun

[Cannon Fodder]

You missed the point; they werent SEALS, just like most "..used to be an Army/Marine sniper..." guys that come in were really truck drivers and clerks.

No I didn't, I knew what you were pointing at, hence why I pointed at the knowledge of running a CCR.

I had no idea there were people here certified to dive,

I guess one of them there Glocks might come in handy underwater;)

Where do you all go diving?

The last few dives I made were in the sea of Japan.

Sad to say my last dive was in a quarry in Mt. Juliet...

I was just talking to a friend at work today about getting back into the undersea world. TGO-only dive in the Caymans anyone??

aww Len, EVERYONE dives in the caymens, or in cancun, or somewhere in mexico...

keep it simple for us guys...sayyy...a trip down to Ga...I know a place off the coast of brunswick where we can get 5 lb lobsters..we can take the limit, every day!

Or, we can make it simpler for those with varied experience and go puddle jumping here in TN.

either way, I like the idea.

I sold all my dive gear about 7 years ago. Developed a huge drowning phobia. I did about 30 dive boat trips (60 actual dives) off the S. Fla coast, mostly drift dives but a few wrecks as well. I think the deepest I went was 130 ft. Normal was about 60 ft. It was a great experience. I guess my PADI open water diver card is still good.

Your OW card should still be good, I don't think that any agency puts an expiration on them. However, I would recommend finding a dive shop with a pool to get reacclimated to the equipment, skills and the such.

Guess a topic for another thread?

I nominate this thread as the official "A-D-D of TGO" thread. We have:

Hated Franklin Gun.

Personally attacked each other.

Had our kiss and make up time.

Moved on to scuba diving.

I love this place...

How can I tell if my wife and kids have ADD? T

I think it is just a thing that happens when you have like minds, or to many thoughts going through your head.

[Mike.357]

personally I think the thread made a huge improvement from the "hate" beginnings to the peacefulness of open water diving.

So who carries a Glock bought from Franklin Gun when they dive?

(gets thread back on topic maybe) hehe

[fury2neon]

Speaking of scuba diving, anyone teach a dive class? In have not been diving in decades.

Wes, remind me next time you are in the shop and I will dial you in.

[Guest moreland281]

their prices are crazy too. I went looking for a PS90 when they first came out and they did have one at a price of $2200, I about died.

I did get me one (ordered it from knesk guns for $1200 shipped)

[RASHGUNNER]

Say what you will about Franklin gun shop, but where do you find a better selection of all kinds of firearms. You may not be able to buy one there but you can make up your mind if you need a specific one by handling it!

[Guest utarch00]

Wow, talk about reviving an old thread.

[Luckyforward]

Remember, Franklin is in "RICH COUNTY, TENNESSEE" for those with stax of cash

There are a lot of well do do people who live here, but not everyone here has stax of cash. Franklin gun shop has a large selection, lot's of employees, and an easy to get to location. I would guess most first time gun purchasers don't price shop. Maybe that is why Uselton is building right down the road. I wonder if that will make Franklin gun shop lower their prices some?

Another gun shop building in Franklin? First I have heard about it.

Useltons is building something next door to Alexander Toyota off Hwy 96. It is right behind Rite-Aid next to Discount Tire. I think it is a range too...

[Guest ColdEspresso]

I have always had great service at Franklin Gun. They always have a great selection. Their pricing is a bit higher on some things but Willamson County is pricy on everything.

I will have to ride down that way and check that out. If they put a range in Franklin I would be very happy about that.

Me too!

[Guest db99wj]

Isn't Uselton that anti gun gun shop owner guy?

[The Rabbi]

I'll leave it to others to describe what happened at Uselton's last indoor gun range on Conference Dr.
