I was headed thru Mt Juliet today and was stopped by one of their officers. I had hands on the the wheel and window down when he approached. First thing I noticed was he was smiling. He asked how I was doing and if I knew why he pulled me over. I was stopped at a light, so had no idea. He explained that I had a brake light out. Once he asked for my id, I did as I always do. I let him know I was armed and asked how he'd like to proceed. He smiled more and said no worries, just grab your DL for me. Once he came back to me (I'm assuming after a standard warrant check ect) he said armed, good citizens like you are what this country needs. We then had a brief chat about guns and the like. He even offered to check the blinkers just in case so I could grab any other bulbs I may need after I told him I'd stop at the parts house on the way home. I also asked him if his job was different after the July 1 law change. His outlook was simple: he said (as other LEO's here have) that he has to assume everyone is armed. His concern was that he foresees more car break ins with bad guys looking for guns. Kinda makes me reconsider a lock box/safe for my truck gun now. Nothing other than a good experience all around. Not sure if it was not getting the ticket, or having a very positive interaction, but it made my day. It was clear he liked his job and is here to serve the community.6 points

As an officer I actually feel relieved when someone informs me of a HCP and them handing it over. I just assume there is a firearm in every vehicle and those that have a HCP are a lot less of a worry to me. I can not think of a single traffic stop where I have given a citation to someone who has voluntarily handed over a HCP.6 points

This is a case of getting all the justice you can afford. The Judge that denied her pre-trial diversion is the same Judge that approved it for Ray Rice after he knocked his wife unconscious and dragged her into an elevator; he was charged with aggravated assault. Let’s review… no intent, no violence= no pretrial diversion; Intent, violence= pretrial diversion. So what’s the difference? Money. I’m sure the Baltimore Ravens could afford a better attorney. The entire black community is up in arms and protesting because a cop shot a criminal that had just robbed a store and assaulted the owner, while this poor woman is being railroaded by the system. Our society is truly is bad shape.4 points

I actually don't have a problem with all felony convictions resulting in forfeiture of your 2A rights. Felons are criminals, and criminals should have to pay a steep price for their crimes, thus normally honest folks that are occasionally tempted to cross the line for seemingly innocent reasons might think twice before doing so. Teens and drug use are a great example. I have mentored several teens that were busted on possession charges which they (and unfortunately some parents and our president) felt were no big deal, but when I explained how one felony conviction after age 18 would disqualify them from ever owning guns, they were quickly motivated to dump the drugs and they have been clean ever since. They are now accomplished shooters, honor students, and always test clean. What I do have a problem with is a few truly minor crimes being classified as felonies, which needs to be fixed. And if you are forced to forfeit your guns due to a conviction, the law should not be allowed to confiscate or keep your property, you should be allowed to sell, gift, transfer, or donate it within a reasonable time so that your financial investment is not stolen or squandered. Only time you should lose the property is if you acquired it via illegal methods such as theft or use of drug money to buy it.4 points

Pleaae note that the guns are prohibited due to the INDICTMENT, not a conviction. Certainly ripe for potential abuse since its not too hard to get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich2 points

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!1 point

No, I was referring to the streets belonging to hard working, armed Americans. I assume these thugs must know which streets those are, because there'd be a lot of dead thugs otherwise. Having close family friends who endured a devastating hurricane and the looting that followed, the looters learned quickly which areas to stay away from. They killed looters there frequently in the beginning.1 point

Maybe they know better than to wander down certain streets.1 point

I'll have mine in by the end of next week. I really want this to happen! If I could, I'd get two, but after my last gun purchases that ain't gunna happen so quick. Maybe for the next one we can do a more simple, more inexpensive knife like the Runt to allow more folks to jump on board?1 point

I always cleaned my triggers with lighter fluid and I'm very touchy about using any oils that can accumulate dirt in the assembly. My 6.5-06 is a 700 but I checked the Rem Website and my number is not in the recall. I plan on changing my trigger assay out as I like a 6-8 oz trigger for target shooting. Since I have a tendency to run with 700's I can swap out the Jewell I get with the original if I decide to sell this long action rifle for a smaller one. I didn't see the links for them so here they are. http://www.remington.com/pages/news-and-resources/safety-center/safety-warning-recall-notice-Remington-model700-modelseven.aspx http://www.remington.com/pages/news-and-resources/press-releases/2014/firearms/remington%20arms%20announces%20voluntary%20product%20recall.aspx This one is the actually page where you just type in your serial number and it immediately tells you if your rifle is in the recall. http://xmprecall.remington.com Hope this helps.

I had a similar but unrelated gun type situation a couple of months ago hearer is Bartlett. I had pulled up behind another guy at a stop sign. He had pulled almost half way out into the first lane of a 3 lane road. He waited on a a few cars to go by the pulled out. I was already at the stop sign so I didn't have to pull up. I just looked both ways and pulled out. Well, a quarter mile down the road this cop comes up behind me and pulls me over. I asked what the problem was and he said I never stopped at the stop sign. I told him that I had sat at the stop sign for like 20-30 seconds waiting for the guy that was stuck out in the road to pull out and away. He then said he actually couldn't see me at the sign but that I had pulled out so close behind the other guy that it appeared I didn't have time to stop. He went on to say since he hadn't seen it there was nothing he would do. He suggested I wait a bit longer before pulling out and bid me to go on my way. I didn;t have the heart to tell him if he wants to catch people not stopping to park in a place where he could see it happen. However, I think he learned from that. It's refreshing to see a young, honest cop that actually cares about doing his job the right way. Congrats to him. Lp1 point

I like #4 the best personally. As someone else stated, less bilboardy. Not an option for now, and maybe never, but I'd really like the state logo without the wording underneath. My only reason is I like the total logo, but I don't want to advertise my online hangouts .com to anyone I show the knife to (employees, supervisors, customers, etc.)1 point

Don't have no Glock. I have a .380acp brand that everyone makes fun of, even the instructor at the start of the required HCP class. But after I shot 100 rounds with no problems at all and scored a 95% on target, the instructor just rolled his eyes and bit his tongue. :pleased:1 point

Although not for sale I think making one should be pretty easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdUYNW4pSf0 Being able to bump fire a AK pistol would be really cool.1 point

As the guy admits, here is a crude easy DIY method. I'd be concerned this would screw up grip nut threads in receiver with use though. That would be a bummer on models like the M92 where it's welded into receiver, not a separate loose replaceable part like on some AKs. Might give you some more ideas though, Dolo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN9Wz_3KoJ4 - OS1 point

When they called for no riot gear, the idiots still acted up. Yesterday Mr. Peacekeeper Johnson sang his song of protection. Well, last night around 2am during his briefing, he sounded a whole lot different. This crap is affecting a whole lot more than those people rioting and the ones simply protesting. It's setting a tone as well as the police-state attitude. But the night they called for no riot gear, the business and home-owners were needing help and couldn't get it. The police can't win with the media because they're against people with no rules....kinda reminds me of our men and women overseas!1 point

You will get used to it, after awhile you will feel abnormal if you don't have it on you in some places. As far as adjusting your shirt or holster, I do that in lines at the grocery store or Walmart etc. and don't care if anyone sees it for a moment.1 point

Duck Feather's are fine. However they look much better on the duck! A 3/4 in flint is fine for your rifle (also known as a Large) Bass Pro had some fine cut flints. Being a "purist" I only use hand knapped flints from Dixie Gunworks. Bass Pro may have some. 2 F is considered "rifle powder", but, I use 3F for the main charge because it ignites mili-seconds ahead of 2F. 4 F is faster in the pan but when I deer hunt, I only carry one horn (3F) and use it for both purposes. When using 3F in the pan you may notice a little longer burn time. So to be direct...I prefer 3F. Happy Flint Shooting! Dave1 point

I would not worry about it. I am sure the PAP's are test fired before leaving the factory and any SKS that had headspace issues would probably have been scrapped when they were $59.1 point

It sounds like you are off to a good start. On a .50 cal I started with 50 grains of 3F Pure Black Powder (don't know nothing about Triple 7). Don't worry about where she hits until you find your "sweat load". A sweat load is when the rifle (long rifles) changes from a "boom" to a "crack" when fired. That's what you want to achieve. My sweat load is 80 grains. It will put a .490 patched ball through a deer faster than you can think about it. There is a product available by TC (I think) called bore butter. That is an amazing patch lube! I use a homemade mixture of 1/3 Bees Wax and 2/3rds Tallow, because I'm a purist! Nice video's by the way! Once you get your barrel seasoned, swabbing between shots becomes a thing of the past! Good luck, and have fun! If I can be of help, let me know! Dave1 point

Wow, I bet that did get your heart pounding. Sounds like you and your family have a great plan in place. So glad it turned out well, and great job! @ TheDrip, I know exactly what you're talking about with the in-laws. Mine will just walk right on in without knocking, too! What's that all about? I have warned that they shouldn't do that multiple times, but it doesn't seem to register. They have a key and will unlock the door. It happened again recently, so it's time for another talk. The problem is now I'm concerned that their walking in on me so often is starting to desensitize me to any real event. Maybe I'll just change the locks.1 point

Glad everyone is OK. I have a somewhat similar story that happened this past week also. I was coming home from work just after 10pm and I had just started my hour long commute home when my wife calls panicking. She says she heard someone knock not loud but quietly almost as to see if anyone was home so she locks herself in the bedroom and calls me. She is upset so I calm her enough to start asking questions. Are the outside doors locked? Yes. OK good the only way for them to get to you is through 2 locked doors. So now can you hear anything like someone on the porch? No, but I swear I heard someone knock. So I say, Ok, the shotgun is in the closet its loaded all you have to do is disengage the safety and pull the trigger. You remember the button right beside the trigger is the safety. I get home and no signs of anything thankfully but now my wife is more aware and prepared if this happens again.1 point

Youse guys are always quite the hoot! Yeah, just a bit North, like 3 x 22! Could be they were worried I was gonna drop dead in their store any minute, I guess, so gave me extra attention. ;) Thing is, I look fairly rough out on these treks, crumpled shorts/shirt, half the time couple days beard, backpack, plus all sweaty in the summer. Was taken for a street person by a cop the time I found the stiff and reported it, for example. All the more amazing how nice they're trained to be there at the new Wally, seems to me. Lordie, I don't range that far, and my base is near West High. I've got about a 5 mile radius, 10 mile round trip cap. This was just one of my YMCA treks, 8 mile round trip, generally do that couple times a week plus a few more miles on closer errands here and there. 3.5 mph on way there / 2.9 mph on way back. :) "Wizened codger" is accurate enough, but still ambulatory, knock on wood. I have two quite understanding ex-wives, no worry there. :dirty: And actually, the Y is one of the better places to ogle the female form, quite the head start what with the minimal clothing thing. :stunned: - OS1 point

They will never admit that because then the next question is "at what point has it become tyrannical"?....................and the next question is "At what point has the tyranny risen to the level that resistance is called for"? Those are some very sobering questions for a national political discourse...so there is NO WAY they will EVER admit that.1 point

LCP - Make sure the mags were inserted properly. Make sure your hand isn't rubbing on the slide and slowing it down during operation. Make sure you've got a firm hold on the pistol, little guns are more sensitive to limp-wristing than larger ones. G19 - brass to the face isn't unusual. I don't own one but a friend's did that. Some say it's worn mags, some say worn extractors, some say dirty gun, some say limp wristing, ...1 point
