I was going to a Mom and Pop restaurant for many years and it was never posted. Then all at once I go there and it is posted. I spoke to the manager and he said that a few of his customers were complaining about seeing customers with guns and it was alarming to them because of their children. I said well I have been eating here for about 10 years and no one has ever seen my gun. He asked me what he could do to keep his business and not lose any customers so I offered him and option. I recommended posting his business as a Concealed Carry only restaurant and see how well that works. Next time I went there the sign read Concealed Carry Only. The place was packed with customers no one knew who was armed and who was not. The manager stopped by my table just after the waitress put my ticket on my table and he picked it up and thanked me as he has been seeing as increase in his business since re-posting and he liked my idea. I think if managers are willing to listen to other alternatives than just posting No Guns it can help both the HCP people and the businesses...........jmho

Well i've decided not to glue myself to the news right now while they are in hyper-speculation mode, i'll wait a while until they get a few facts and stay away from the major liberal opinion channels like BSNBC and CNN ect. They did announce that BoBo the clown was going to make a statement, which I will not watch because of the high chance that he will politically exploit this incident. Like it happened an hour ago and he can't wait to get in front of the camera as if he has something important to add. I'll feel sad for the families for anyone that may have been killed in this incident but i've learned over the years that I wont know what really happened for a couple of days and I still can't trust most everything the major media outlets reports even then.

Rather early to assume this is either a terrorist and/or Muslim related event isn't it?   I mean it may be both but could be neither...I guess we'll find out as details start to come out.

#2 flopped today. 10 inch beard and 1 inch spurs. He didn't gobble until I was 50 or so yards from him. I was walking slowly through the woods calling on and off. He was on top of me before I knew it. Sat down by a tree and didn't even have time to put my face mask on. I just lowered my hat to cover my face. Once he started gobbling he came over the hill and I shot him around 25 yards. [URL=http://s525.photobucket.com/user/bean962/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140402_131541_zpse8acd0cc.jpg.html][/URL]

If course Hussein and his minions will call it work place violence like last time.

  ^^^This. If I lived closer I would gladly come & get them. Like "vontar" said, most bee keepers will come & get them. Bee keeping is a great hobby & there's nothing better than fresh honey on a warm biscuit in the morning. :yum:

If I'm reasonably well dressed and out eating I've started politely asking managers at places that are currently posted if they would like to change their mind to win a customer and get added to the "posted!" app as a non-posted alternative. I've had one business owner get angry b/c someone else had apparently stickered his business without asking him and one manager that removed the gunbuster while I stood there.(and it has stayed down) I've found that if they see the app and realize how easy it is for me to find a gun friendly alternative on the handy map and dine elsewhere(across the parking lot in some cases) that all of a sudden they don't so much like being on the list of restaurants I won't patronize. I've also talked to several that won't budge but I'm always very respectful of their opinions and thank them for taking the time to speak to a potential customer.

I love their motto: "Eat in Peace."    Because if they don't post, we'll come in like Yosemite Sam and blast the place up, just as has happened, what, zero times now?

With 9mm it's really not so much crimping. You have to slightly bell the mouth of the case to set the bullet in. Then your seating die needs to be set so thet it seats the bullet and remove that slight bell. The 9mm round is a slightly tapered round and not a straight wall round like a .38.

Here is the site: http://www.gunfreediningtennessee.org/ Here is what I sent in the "Tell us if Restaurants You Visit Post No-Gun Signs" comment section: My answer is no. I do not patronize posted restaurants. Thanks though for the website. It's just as useful to those that are looking for restaurants that DO allow concealed carry.

Everyone's mileage may vary, but I am totally impressed with Beretta USA service. I purchased a nearly new Nano from a fellow TGO member and the pistol began to misfire frequently with every kind of ammo in my bag. I called Beretta on Mar 24 and immediately was provided an RMA with UPS pick-up notice. I packaged the pistol and waited for UPS to arrive next day with prepaid waybill. Poof - pistol is in the air to Beretta. This morming, received an email from Beretta with tracker. Tech notes indicate there was a sticky grease-like substance in firing pin channel obstructing pin travel. They disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and test fired. Denting cartridge now makes it go bang. No cost for service. Pistol will arrive tomorrow. Man, that's impressive. Glad to welcome Beretta to Tennessee.

Anything to alleviate the pain of dealing with pesky primer crap is always welcome ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.

I'm gonna be there for sure. I shot my first IDPA last week at Nashville Armory and surprised myself with how I finished. Jumping in both feet now!

Would love feedback from someone using this to load dillon tubes. Its one tenth the price of dillons primer fillet!

Congrats again! I had a crazy wonderful hunt this morning, birds everywhere and lots of gobbling, but I couldn't get one in front of the gun. Good news is, they were fired up and it kept my heart racing for a few hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many of those states are pro-2A? Do you really think this is going to go well for us? I fear it could go bad myself.

I'll disagree with the whitewolf and capbyrd. I AM absolutely trying to pressure you into buying what I think is best. :lol: But really, if you see us all making the same point over and over, there's a reason. If I keep harping about weight it's because it's hard to get a feel for how these things balance out before you assemble them. I kept saying "what's a few ounces matter if it has better ______." Now I'd be willing to sacrifice some ______, if I could shave a pound or two off that is. We want you to love your rifle. Great trade you worked out.

  Didn't mean for it to sound like we were bullying you into it man, we just all voiced our opinions which were all consensus in that quad rails are not only a thing of the past but in that we've been in your shoes. Know that none of us would want to push you into something you yourself aren't willing to do, in the end this is YOUR build, we'll just say "told ya so" when there's something you don't like. ;)   Though for the record, that is the rail I'll be using when I get my DI gun done.   I like the KAC sights pretty good in terms of quality but after finally getting my hands on em, just not that big on them. I LOVE the Troy di-opter series paired with the HK style front but again, MY personal preference.

Muslims are such peaceful folks. I hope and pray only the shooter dies.

Emailed and received prompt reply.   Are they genuine?   Hello, yes they are genuine. Bulk ordered for military usage. Guaranteed mil spec.

Just posting this and saw yours. Craziness never ceases!

According to the SAMI specs for 9mm Luger the crimp should be applied down to 0.380". Take that with a grain of salt, though. The thickness of the brass varies from one mfg to another, the diameter of the bullets will have some variance (even within a single batch), and your brass will slightly lengthen and thin the more times it's reloaded. So, what I'm saying is there is a "standard" measurement, but it's not religion.   Like others said, just straightening the bell from the expanding/charging station is a great start. Shoot some rounds to see if you notice any setback (this is dangerous, can cause pressure spikes). If not, let the accuracy of the loads determine how much crimp you add, if any.   Remember, the less you work that brass (expanding and crimping), the longer that brass will last.

Couldn't happen to a better bunch of SOB's than those and I like the sniper being able to save ammo.  Wish that could happen on a regular basis more often..............jmho

Was with a group of geocachers in January, the tower is a virtual cache, no container to find or sign, only count the steps going up.   I made the climb in 2006 when staying at Fall Creeks Falls for a Dept. retreat.  Link to the cache page:  http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6801_smoke-signals   No one was around that day in January, the access road did have locked gate that we went around.  I didn't make the climb that day, my knees were still in much pain from the 10 mile hike at Virgin Falls the day prior. 

I think the best argument to a business owner is the folllowing: Posting a "no guns" sign does nothing to dissaude the criminal element, and in fact coupd serve to encourage that element. Additonally it is negative message to lawful firearms owner and HCP carriers. Not posting provides the exact same relief against the criminal element and doesn't discriminate against lawful gun owners and encourages a wider customer base. Tell me one person who chooses to only eat/shop somewhere ONLY if there is a posted sign? Now tell me how many gunowners will refuse to do business with a posted place? And lastly, there is no legal protection to the business for posting a sign vs not posting. Not posting - its the smart business decision

Numrich Arms, aka Gun Parts Inc., is bailing on New York. Now that is one yankee I'd like for a neighbor.

Cherokee rod and club in Kingsport. Best $75 a year I spend.

  So just buy Barnaul or Wolf (probably Barnaul too) if you don't want to shoot the 7n.   One thing about all ammo, regardless of the reasons, I've never seen any of it get cheaper over time.   - OS

Pretty much how I imagine the guys whom review these standings concerning what IS or ISN'T illegal...

Them quail Jack shot in Scenario 1 aren't gonna be fit to eat by the time he gets home after school...just saying.

  I like folders but there are just some uses where I trust a fixed blade more.  I guess that comes from, as a teenager, having one of my razor-sharp pocket knives close up on me while using it.  I don't think a person is meant to see their own knuckle bone.   I might not even 'carry' the longer, fixed blade on me all the time.  Sometimes but not all the time.  The ability to keep one or two in my vehicles at all times without worrying about legal trouble would be nice.

Ha ha ha. I dont think the neighbors would like that or Murfreesboro PD lol.

How that place is still in business is beyond me.

  You don't have to kill all of them. You just need to get the pile high enough that they can't climb over it. Pretty obvious you ain't ever fought zombies before. :)

Kinda weak season finale

In 9mm the cartridge seats on the case mouth so they will have a taper crimp. If you use a roll crimp on them they won't seat properly.

I saw an interview of this guy on the news the other day. He said his lawyer at one point leaned over to him and said, "Clearly, you are the most knowledgeable person regarding guns in the courtroom." One of the jurors admitted she had no idea what a muzzle loader was. I think he said the judge wasn't sure either. How can clueless people be the deciders of your fate? What happened to a jury of your peers? Could you even find "peers" in DC?

Reason number 2000 i'll will not visit that city, wont spend one dime there to support their economy. Pretty much the same reason I wouldn't have visited Paris during the Nazi occupation. If we ever elect a halfway decent real leader and the voters of DC kick out all the traitors to America, restore freedom like the founding fathers intended, then maybe i'll go. But as for right now, no way in hell will I step over the DC boundry.

I have six 1911's and they all function perfectly right out of the box, but they would all put a Colt to shame, as far as them needing any "tinkering" some people just can't leave things alone and start swapping parts before they know what the problem is. A good bit of FTF's are due to poor Mags. and weak Recoil Springs, along with not taking a firm grip. I carry a 1911 daily as my personal protection weapon I won't carry anything else, but that's just me.

Ohio National Guard is certainly capable of taking out it's own population. Kent State, 1970. Only killed 4 and wounded 9 though, pretty penny ante and all.   - OS

I say let em get paid, it will vet itself out in the end.  I mean what are we trying to preserve, the student athlete? That's been gone for decades now.  The schools and NCAA are making billions off the backs of kids risking their potential future on the field.  No reason that cant fight for a piece of the pie.  And no I don't believe they are owed anything per se but they have the right to try to get what they can.      I'm generally not a fan of unions, but here there seems to be a serious disparity between who's bringing in the money(players) and who's cashing the checks(NCAA and Univ).  I believe the players should get a scaled stipend according to minutes played or something like that.  Then put a cap on the amount any one athlete can get in a year.  Also restrict it to amount of revenue the players sport generates.  Its not that complicated.      All that said I believe we are a long way away from truly paying college athletes anything significant

Don't know I'd get bent out of shape about a single incidence, especially since it was such a benign encounter.   - OS

I know it's early but me thinks this could be one of the biggest failures to come out in recent years. I'm going to be the first to predict the recall. 

This is why I spent the morning casting, I can shoot centerfire cheaper. And it is much more fun too.

Because, despite their lack of aesthetic appeal, they work. They work when all other fail. All the older, classier, sexier designs need a trained skilled hand to get them to run like a Glock, and even then they will fail before the fugly plastic turd. A Glock is a framing hammer. We don't brag about or sit and admire a good framing hammer. We just use them and they don't fail. When I go to the range to have fun, I'll bring a Blackhawk. It's gorgeous and I love to look at her. When I get outta bed in the morning and tighten the belt around my britches, there's a Glock 19 on the right side. Later that day when I've been wallerin' on the ground and climbin around cars, I never give the Tupperware a thought. This is the definition of "Glock Perfection". It's the perfected TOOL and it works like no other.
