Agreed Jackdog....

My son got one (he got his HCP the same tiem I did), my wife got one, She got her HCP this year (or late last year). I still haven't gotten one.

[Guest canynracer]

You can have mine!!!

[dralarms]

You can have mine!!!

[Guest Grizzly Johnson]

Maybe we should get the guy on WKRN News Channel 2 involved "Now That's Messed Up!" I got my letter yesterday, ripped it up, and threw it in the trash.

[Guest nj.piney]

Clicking the thumbnail will bring all of this up.

[Guest WingedWarrior]

Hmmm, lemme get this straight. One of the things they offer is an "exclusive membership card with a firearm symbol identifying you as a Handgun Carry Permit holder in TN."

Uh, if you have an HCP, isn't that already a card that says you can carry a handgun?

What I really want is another card that indicates I have an "exclusive membership card with a firearm symbol identifying you as a Handgun Carry Permit holder in TN." Or maybe a card that says I have a card that says I have a card ......

I got my letter yesterday. I have supported this group in the past, but never received a letter stating I had a handgun permit. Would this not fall under the Federal Privacy Act?

Anyway my letter is in the trash.

[strickj]

I would do it only the firearm symbol is of a revolver,and I carry an auto loader.

Curses foiled again

[Magiccarpetrides]

Well i thought it might be worth it for the license plate (garner more good will from the LEO's) but since they still dont support restaurant carry....NOPE...trash she goes.

[Guest Major Pain]

Me and the wife got our letters today. I made a copy of the letter they sent against carry in restaurant (thanks canynracer) and sent a note telling them I would not support them but a few bad guys might. Also sent there envelope and junk insert back and told them I didn't want there garbage.--MP

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

i think im going to do the same thing and send the letter they sent against carry in restaurant. that sounds like a real good idea

[Guest canynracer]

Great job guys!!! keep it going...send them all back, and tell them why.

[Guest canynracer]

hmm.still no response from the Sheriff....LOL

[Guest mw.]

Found it!!! http://tngunowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5934&highlight=Sheriff

Now, I think all of us that have a letter should fold it back up, with the letter (http://www.legallyarmed.com/resources/sheriffltrhb410.pdf) where they did NOT support resutraunt carry, and ask why we should support THEM, when they do not support US???

That my friends is EXACTLY what I am going to do...spam them like the spam us.

Not that I'm in favor of them spamming but did you read this part of your link. http://tngunowners.com/forums/showpost.php?p=74579&postcount=6

[Guest canynracer]

Nope, but I know that there are chiefs of police, and Sheriffs signatures on it...those sheriffs are a part of the same organization...if the Sheriffs truely did "hoodwink" then why no repercussions?

still, if he responds to my email, he can always give us the TSA's real view on the matter, and maybe offer the support when they discuss the bill again.

i got that same piece of crap 2 days ago. it went right in the garbage.

[Guest Major Pain]

My Dad was Benton Co. sheriff back in late 70's and when all those letters use to go out his office would be flooded with calls from people who wanted to know if it was legit. He told them he had nothing to do with it and got no money from it. But it was some kind of group out of Nashville that gave out a few scholarships. I think they kept about 60 percent for "administration". Never heard much out of them until begging time.--MP

[Punisher84]

I ate mine. I'm gonna ship them the remains...I hate spam mail, especially from people that don't support my cause.

[dralarms]

I actually got mine today, haven't decided on which method in which to return it, considering filling it full of holes and sending it back.

[Guest tedbo]

Hmm, methinks if ya send it back full of holes you "might" get a visit.

For sure get on "another" list.

[Guest tedbo]

I got one too. I have been thinking hard on how I was going to respond to this.

I like the idea of sending it back with a little note on the back(why waste a good sheet of paper?) telling them why they will get no money from me.

Hmm...,This also might get me off my butt to get a few minutes with the Sheriff here and ask him about the meth heads and gangbangers who are coming in to town.

[et45]

I got one this past week.Actually the first one I got was back in 95 when I first applied for a permit under the old law that was administered by the Sheriff's office.

[mac12]

I received mine either Thurs. or Friday. Didn't they want to send you a bumper sticker that identified you as a carrier? I glanced at it, then trashed it.
