Totin' Teachers Bill Heads for a Vote
Thearmededucator replied to gun sane's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
SROs are doing God's work, and this is intended to augment them, not replace them. The issue with SROs is a microcosm of the need for concealed carry in society at large. There are simply not enough of them to be everywhere. Statistically, the average active shooting injures or kills 1 person every 10 seconds for the duration of the attack, although the first minute is often many times higher than the last. Therefore, in order to limit casualties to less than 10, we need to stop an attacker in the first 30 seconds. My school is very lucky in the fact that we have 4 full time SROs. But our building is over 400,000 square feet and our property is over 50 acres. A 3 minute response time from SROs already on site would still average nearly 20 casualties. Think of armed staff as hard points or speed bumps to keep the Attacker engaged, allowing the SROs time to respond while simultaneously reducing casualties -

Garufa is right. Start with the TWRA guides as they will explain seasons, permitting, bag limits and such. They also have an App you can download on your phone which is helpful for reporting game. Depending on your age, you will likely be required to take a Hunters Safety Course and even still, it would be a good idea to take the class anyways. It been a long time since I had mine, but if I'm not mistaking, you can do this online or in person. You can also buy whatever permit you need online from the TWRA, or in a lot of local stores. I know BassPro will sell them, maybe Academy as well. Public land is available to hunt and maybe someone will chime in on the ins/outs of that. I've never hunted public land since I have access to private. Definitely ask around about land and even volunteer to help maintain any property you have been given access to. There is a sticky on top of this board that I created to help new hunters. I keep meaning to update/polish it up some but it'll definitely help. Lastly, I'd encourage you to introduce hunting to someone else. Even if you feel like you have no idea what you are doing, that would be a memory of a lifetime for whoever tags along with you.

I agree with your first assessment. However ECP is no where near enough training to permit teacher/staff carry. It is a start but not for stand alone training. - Today

I fear that this is nothing more than feel good legislation. Most local school districts will say no and in the end very few teachers will be armed. Too many hoops to jump through will discourage a lot of teachers from getting the required training. I prefer the idea of allowing enhanced permit holders to carry in schools as the bad guys will never know who is armed. -

Note over 500 schools DO NOT have a SRO. Many schools are in rural areas and have delayed response times not to mention staff shortage. Response time is proportional to body count. TN has had armed teacher provision for the past 8 yrs in private schools, and over 30 states have it already. Point is, no student/ teacher mishaps have bee reported. All the uproar in opposition is the typical anti theatrics. Interesting to note that individual districts will bow to local politics and opt out of teacher carry completely. -
I have been looking for a Uberti / taylors or cimmaron 1873 short rifle in .357 with 20 inch barrel. They are not in stock anywhere. Anybody know why there is such a shortage on these? If anybody happens to see one in a LGS in East Tennessee give me a heads up please. Thanks

Newer PX4 model G-SD in 9mm. Has an extended mag release, a "heavy" barrel (essentially their .40 barrel but chambered in 9mm) and a Langdon-Inspired DA/SA trigger. G Model so decock only. Comes with 3 17-round magazines and one 20-round magazine. About 50 rounds through it. Asking $600. No really looking for trades.

I use the same stuff in my 365 as well.

I carry Hornady Critical Defense in my 365 macro. I have some Critical Duty, with a plan to carry it in a separate magazine for specific situations, but never got around to doing it. For environments where I figure I’m most likely to have to shoot, I’m a little concerned about over-penetration or missed shots going through thin walls with the Critical Duty rounds. Not suggesting others should have the same concerns, this is just me.

The pair of hummingbirds at our feeders are feeding regularly now. I have 2 feeders out, one on the front porch, and one in the back of the house. That feeder is very close to our breakfast bay picture window, and we get a show while we eat our meals. We also have 2 bird seed feeders hanging on tree limbs out the same window. Bird shows extraordinaire!

Exactly right on handgun calibers being a compromise for defense. But it's what we have because it's difficult to carry a full size rifle or shotgun in a holster. So we do our best. Hard to go wrong with the brands mentioned. My boys and I run Critical Duty 135+P, Federal HST 124+P and Gold Dot 124+P. There's other good choices too. I don't know if there really is a "best" one.

The Governor said on the news, last evening, He intends to sign the bill. I was wrong because I thought he would not. Egg on my face! I too agree there will not be many teachers signing up. Training is rigorous and costly. May be a few, and if not many signs up, I believe they will tweak the law next year. I think the Legislature intends to give trained willing teachers an opportunity to carry. I hope some teachers will want too. The people wanted change and they are getting it. The state has already made funds available to every school district to harden security in their schools and now it is up to the schools to take advantage of enhanced security measures and implement them. IMO every school district should have a security expert in place to see to the needs in that district. Those in Nashville screaming and shouting in the State House gallery, the Covenant Moms, and those on the street demonstrating did not get their way. I, for one, do not agree with them and believe Tennesseans have gotten political gains in what has transpired so far. The state has prepared a way, and funded it, to achieve success in enhancing security in schools, but the counties must step up and do it. When this law goes into place teachers will have an avenue to move forward with concealed carry in schools. How many will do it, that remains to be seen. CHANGE, Tennesens got some. You may not like it, but change is here. I for one think it is gain. Will shootings stop, I sure hope so, but, IMO, realistically I don't think so. -
