With the opening of a new BPS here in Bristol, one of my son's friends applied for and was offered a position.  The last day of training, they were reviewing store policies, and the new employees were advised that they cannot store an otherwise legally-owned firearm in their vehicle while parked at the BPS - to do so will be grounds for immediate dismissal.  He questioned his understanding of the policy, and was told that he did understand it correctly - and that this was BPS's corporate policy.  He politely handed his "uniforms" back to the manager and told them that he would not be taking the position.   Hopefully, the Cabela's that is building a store just 6 miles up the road will have a bit more common sense.

Update. I sent them the lot number and here was their reply. ----- Neil, Ship me back the one round and the original box following the instructions in the attachment.

Worse case scenario, it won't be a handgun I'm carrying.

I have read on the internet (so you know it must be true) that light bullets going very fast are purported to be the problem. 110s and 125s at max speed are to be avoided according to lore.   That is one helluva carry piece! Congratulations.

Did you notify anyone at the church of your wife's condition. Sometimes we take it for granted that they know of our problems. You may want to give them a call. Just saying

I think it was the 125's that were cracking the forcing cones.

Payment sent for #15! Yaaaayyyy!

I prepare and maintain preparedness in order to protect the prescious lives of my loved ones.  Protecting my own life (being able to partner/provide as a husband and instruct/love as a parent) is a part of that.     I don't want to be in a situation to have to employ deadly force; I would much rather Avoid, Evade, or Escape.  "Engage" remains the last option on that short, comprehensive list.  Gunfights are a nasty business, and there is nothing in me that needs to prove anything to anyone by choosing "Engage" when one of my other three options remain.  That's why Situational Awareness is my first defense employed... always.

Don't ask, don't tell.   That being said, I don't blame him for not wanting to work there. 

I agree with the above. Just built my first pistol and like it mucho!

I'm not preparing for anything.....I'm already prepared.   I carry a handgun for the same reason there is a jack, spare tire, jumper cables, and flashlight in my truck. Just in case.   If I have reason to believe there will be trouble, I'll be somewhere else, or else I'll have a rifle.

I do not see an upside down primer, I see a free box of ammo.

Picked up 8-11-14 from Tennessee Gun Country. Picked up some Federal white box ammo, 230gr ball. Shot it right after purchase, liked it, got dies, brass, primers and some Hornady 230gr XTPs and Magnus 215gr LSWCs. Been reloading and shooting some more Federal white box to get more brass for reloading.  The Magnus bullets make me really happy, they make such neat "big" round holes in the target. I have found another caliber to reload, I am having so much fun with this Glock! Tennessee Gun Country gives LEO, Military/retired a good deal plus the Glock discount. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!  

On August 30th we will hold an Introduction to Competitive Shooting Day. New shooters are encouraged to attend and will get to run through the different disciplines we shoot at MCTS. Experienced shooters can come out and practice the stages that will be set-up.   We will have one bay dedicated to learning the rules and gun handling needed to shoot your first match.   Experienced shooters are encouraged to come out and bring a friend, or significant other who is ready to get started.   The bays will be open for practice runs when not needed for the new shooters.    USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge, and Outlaw Steel will be available.    Day will start at 7:00am with set-up. With a shooters meeting at 8:30am and shots by 9:00am.   Needed; Safe firearm with a strong side holster or gun rug, box or bag to store it in.  Magazine or speed loader carriers are recommended but not needed. At least 100 rounds but bring more so you can shoot more. Eye and ear protection. A must! $25.00 entry. We will try and wrap the day up by 1:00pm. Spectators are welcome to come out but bring eye and ear protection to.    

Music City Tactical Shooters is going to run a range day for new guys to come out see all the different disciplines we shoot and have a chance to shoot them all. Experienced shooters can use the day as a practice day. Spectators will be welcome to see the range and watch what is going on. One bay will be used to get acquainted with the rules, commands and gun handling skills needed to shoot a match. I will have stages set-up for USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge and Outlaw Steel. If you have been on the fence about coming out--this is the day. Check out the Competition Forum for more info.

Picked me up a Barnett Wildcat C5 a few weeks ago. Shoots great but I decided to re-fletch some of the bolts it came with. Stripped the old 4 inch vanes and replaced them with 2 inch blazer vanes. Shoots even better now.

Thanks, the 3" k frames are awesome. They are the smallest and lightest guns I care anything about shooting magnums. I shoot some magnums through my 640 but it is just for laughs. I have some dies if you want to borrow them.

lightweight full magnum loads are also trouble and can gas-cut older smiths.   This is not a good gun for the 90 grain +P load, in other words.     In all cases, its NOT the bullet weight, its the combination of the load data.  A 38sp powered load in 90 grains won't gas-cut.   A modest load in 180 grains won't crack anything.     38s are plenty for punching paper and save wear&tear on both the gun and the shooter...  I recommend them over a steady diet of magnums.

For some medium 357s, or maybe 38+p++ if you will, I really liked a 158gr and Bullseye. I have no hard documentation as to why I thought it was so great, but I just dig that combo. Not a hot, blasty 357, but more than a little cap-gun 38.

Anything we could do for you?

That's what I get for liking the old stuff. I've never seen a folding buffer tube. That's cool!   Dammit!!!!! You guys keep showing me new ways to spend money! :wall: :wall: :wall:

I believe it's a SIG MPX pistol. Which I guess is an AR, just a piston driven one. http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductList/sig-mpx-sig-mpx.aspx But you can do the same with direct impingement ARs also: - OS

Not being armed, does not preclude you from being shot by police. Now I haven't read the story or know the facts of the situation. I just hate the "he wasn't armed" defense. Because that's not necessary to justify a shooting

The need creates the basic locations. I was part of starting a BCT Brigade at Ft Bliss, TX in fall of 1965. We were all sent there from the First Armor Division at Ft. Hood. A bunch of tankers walking around going "Are they crazy?" (We didn't know about WTF) Little did we knowthat the 1st Air Cav would be in Vietnam in a few months and it was on big time. The draft would eventually reach 44,000 a month-200 new companies a month!

Like Patton says... Heavier bullets.... I like 13.5 to 15 grains of 2400 and anybodies 158 grain hard cast semi wadcutters with standard primers and a real heavy crimp....   leroy

Cops won’t search your car unless it’s an investigation into a criminal offense. Having a gun in your car is not an offense. The store can ask to search, you can refuse and they can fire you. I’m sure this all driven by the lawyers and insurance companies.

I would venture to say no that it will not fix it. However, I would give it a try to see if it is a fix. Glock has been really reluctant to admitt that any of the later model Glocks have an issue. I bet they get a couple of hundred complaints a day about BTF.

  Note that the primary purpose of the crown is to protect the rifling from damage should you whack the muzzle on something.  A flat muzzle that's square to the bore and deburred will function just fine.    That said, you don't know if it has accuracy problems until you shoot it. 

31 More needed Folks, lets get this done!

I'm more worried about ball cancer than I am about meeting AQ outside of their stomping grounds. Of course they'll try to attack us again and probably succeed to some degree, but the chances of being a direct victim or being in a position to intervene is about as likely as Jennifer Anniston showing up at my door to service me and make a sammich. Not saying that I don't fantasize about that happening, and keep hope alive that it does, I'm just realistic about the odds. I carry because it is my duty to protect my family, and a firearm is more effective than a broadsword, although not nearly as fashionable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some before and after pics

Yep, they are super nice at MCTS. There is no point in wasting a day just watching when you could be shooting! It isn't rocket science, and as long as you are safe in your gun handling you won't have any problems... but you will have LOTS of fun!

My best friend's son use a .22 Hornet to take a Michigan doe. He made a neck shot at 50 yards and it went right down.   I've taken deer with .221 Fireball and .222, always a neck shot, always dropped in its tracks. Those little varmint rounds are deadly with the right shot placement, but you have to have that perfect shot scenario. That's why my NORMAL deer caliber is a 7/08. With it, I can poke 'em anywhere in the frontal body cavity and it's brown on the ground.

Love mine. :pleased: [center][URL=http://s783.photobucket.com/user/Prag03/media/long%20guns/PAPAK762x39resized_zpsae8a6135.jpg.html][/URL][/center] I'm saving my pennies for an Aimpoint T1/H1 right now as this little sucker is simply begging for it. I plan to pick up one for an AR pistol build (have the pieces and just haven't put them together yet) and put a 300 BLK upper on it as a "next year" project...Money, you know? I really like Oh Shoot's concept and will model after that.

Totally worth it IMO. As KKing mentioned, a KAK or equivalent tube is a good idea to maximize the value. Terrible pic, but here's my ransom shot. It has a K2 grip on it now. Aside from being a bit too thin in profile I like it. I'm going to keep it on for now and see if it grows on me 100%.

  I still like Hunt For Red October even though Baldwin stars in it, i'm not going to let the fact that he's an idiot off stage ruin a good movie for me. after all his ranting and raving about moving to Canada if Bush got re-elected, at the end of the day it made no difference whatsoever, Bush got re-elected and he didn't move to Canada. All it accomplished was to make alot of people laugh at him.

"I would not hesitate to cut it off with a hacksaw and use a carriage bolt and valve grinding compound to put another crown on it."   Hacksaw? Crap, if I cut it with a hacksaw damn thing would whistle at you every time you shot it......

It's a quick sub 3 hour hop from Memphis to the range :-) This would be an awesome way to test the waters on different disciplines of shooting. Lots of helpful and informative people will be there that will make you feel welcome.

what does need have to do with anything?

I’ve recently learned of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club demonstrations in Dallas, TX, where a sizable group of black gun owners are protesting police brutality while they open carry. More information here (Reason.com) and here (BearingArms.com).   I’ll be perfectly honest here: I’m downright excited about this. While I don’t share their seemingly leftist views, I support their right to open carry in a peaceful demonstration. I don’t need to agree with someone’s politics to recognize their 1st and 2nd amendment rights and support their exercise of these rights. And I’m hopeful that this gun club goes viral and spreads across the country, inspiring other black folks to educate themselves and pursue legal and responsible gun ownership.   I couldn’t find a thread discussing this particular topic, so I thought I’d start one. What do you all think? Would you support a peaceful open carry demonstration started —or inspired— by the Huey P. Newton Gun Club protesting police brutality in your town/city?

  When the timer buzzes all the low pressure goes out the window..........that device of the devil does something to your brain!   Does sounds like a great way to see what a person would like. I l shot SASS once and thought I'd like it. Turns out I didn't.

I have a Pardner Pump in 12 gauge.  IMHO it is superior to the 870 Express.  It's got a chrome bolt, walnut stock and metal trigger guard.

Yes, make sure to have the original box or carton when you call so you can give them the lot #
