SOLD

I have spent some time analyzing the TN gun laws for my own knowledge and tried to simplify the most common scenarios that many of us may encounter. The following flowchart doesn't include all situations like employees of universities with permits, for example. However, I tried to include what I understood as the laws and how they pertain to those with and without a permit. I am not sure that this is exactly correct and the law seems to be a bit more complicated than I would like, but I attempted to put it in a format that I could more easily consume. I would appreciate any feedback or help in validating what is here. Please do not bank on this being 100% acccurate as laws change and my interpretation may not have been correct in some situations. Hopefully it helps some of us not get into unnecessary trouble. Thanks EDIT: Updated May 27, 2022 TN Gun Carry Law Flowchart-updatedMay272022.pdf

I've known I had to have one of these from the first moment I heard of them. Been looking hard for over year and nobody has had any one in my area. :mad: This morning I called all the LGSs and still no luck. A couple of days ago Chucktshoes that he had seen one at Cypress Creek Outdoors in Dyersburg. So just on a whim I called to see if it was still there. It WAS! With nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon, I jumped in my truck and headed North. I'm now the proud owner of a brand spankin' new Springfield Armory SA-35! BTW: price was MSRP at $699. Not being a fan of heavily checkered grips, I put a nice set of smooth Houge Pau Ferros on it. Looks great! I hope to get it to the range next week. Range report to follow. And here's an updated family portrait. Thanks Chuck! BTW: that's a very nice store. Everything an outdoorsman might need. Very friendly people too. Had a nice chat with the saleslady while I was there. If you're in the area, check it out.

While this is a steep price, it is as close as you can get to a new Marlin 22 cal. lever action. Extremely good condition. I bought it new in Oct 1991 and has less than 500 rounds through it. Included are the box with the packing materials including the vapor sheet, instruction manual, factory scope mount and hammer spur - never mounted. $1200.00 or trade this rifle and the Beretta 92f in my other ad. toward a new series 4 in. Colt Python.

Italian made Beretta 92f. Very good condition, manufactured in 1990, no plastic parts. 2 mec-gar 18 round and 4 Beretta 15 round magazines for a total of 6 mags. Galco combat master holster included. It has aftermarket grips installed and the D hammer spring and newer style retaining pin in place. Double action is very good with this improved factory spring. The original parts and grips are included. $650.00. Located in East Tennessee.

Auction Fever is a terrible disease. Burns any common sense right outta your head.

Kudos to you @FUJIMOfor posting a local news source. As far as the event goes, just damn. When is this #### going to stop?

GREAT DEAL for somebody!

Price changed to $430 FIRM. I have gotten a lot of offers by text that were ok and some that were lowball offers , so I think $430 for this pistol is fair.

If you're in a situation where $50 or $100 either way is gonna make or break your budget, it's time to reevaluate your priorities.

I’ve decided that if you are buying from me, you are coming to me…with cash. I will afford you the same courtesy if you are the seller. I will be there at the agreed upon time unless something beyond my control prevents it, in which case I will notify you immediately. I cannot understand why this is so hard for people to do. It only takes a small bit of respect for your fellow man.

Hey y'all, T Rex Arms put out some cool drills up for free on their website. Wanted to share, enjoy! https://www.trex-arms.com/training-drills/

I went to an auction in Santa Fe today. The guns were all in nice condition. I didn't record all the prices but here's what I did write down. USGI Colt M1911 (early frame) but some prior owner had scratched his initials into the right side of the slide! It looked to be done with an electric pencil so probably NOT done during the war by a bored GI in a fox hole. $2500. Actually a pretty decent price for the condition aside from the initials, but that just killed any desire on my part to have it at that price. Inland M1 Carbine $2000 Not a nuts-o price, but STRONG money for sure for an Inland Springfield M1 Garand $2600 << I was stunned. Norinco SKS with detachable mag conversion $825 Ruger 10/22. Plain old wood-stock. $400 Ruger Mini-14 $2000 << say what??!?!?!?!??! Japanese Arisaka Type 38 (I think . . .I don't know these well) $1800 Some kind of Mauser in 7mm (again, not something I know about) $625 The 2 that absolutely blew my mind were: Taurus PT-22 $425 Century Arms Centurion O/U 12 ga $1000 The only one I saw that I think was well-bought was a Colt Huntsman .22. It went for $700. Not a steal, but not overpaid either. I managed to get some .45 ACP ammo at a decent price, but missed out on the .30 Carbine ammo that I need. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Have a new unfired charger standard with original box, chassis, bipod and papers. As well as the following: 2x 25rd mags 1x 15rds Volquartsen Extended Magazine Release Tandemkross Spartan Skeletonized Charging Handle Midwest Industries 10/22 Chassis with 8-Inch Handguard w/KNS Stock Adapter sold to Grasshoppa Prefer venmo, PP, or Zelle at meetup. Located in Clarksville, can meet here to poss Nashville.

Not sure where you were going with the original post, but as far as the direction this post is pointed, all I can say is “Don’t”. Not commenting one way or another about the details, we just don’t talk general politics here. If it is directly related to 2A legislation then we are about that. R vs D vs (?), not wanted.

Yeah, Powell’s gone nationwide. Hard for a local boy to get a deal. But even if it was all local and In person there’s always someone that doesn’t know any limitations...like the guy buying M1 clips.

Oh, I know. I do keep up with the local auction house and got all excited a couple of years ago when they had a bunch of nice S&W revolvers. They were running low so I thought why not. Gave it a shot then they started off into more than than I was willing to bid. Do you have that sweet Model 18 I was trying to get?

I am totally jealous and happy for you!

With all the economists we seem to have in this country the problem should have been fixed yesterday, lol.

I don’t know anything about that but the maximum sales tax rate anywhere in the state of TN is 9.75%...7% for the state with up to 2.75% for the locals depending on what rate they set.

Funny how inflation works. Everyone and their brother is jacking up prices for no excusable reason. Let’s not forget the “seller’s premium”. The auctioneer gets a respectable piece of what the owner is due.

no tax or buyers premium

Very very nice!

"The Far Country" I googled Jimmy Stewart, Walter Brennan movies.

Nice work. Thanks! I'll need to study it and the law more to fully understand the details.

Sounds and looks like your good to go then. on other reloading forums I’ve read horror stories where guys loaded rounds, had to adj col to a shorter dim., and had bad results because their loads were close to max and the extra pressure from seating the bullet deeper gave them over pressure results. I had a compressed rifle load in .223 that made me nervous pulling the trigger but I researched it to hell before I stuffed the cases and fired them. Mike

It’s smaller than the G19. Subcompact vs compact. Capacity is 10.

Looks like he had his a@$ handed to him

Imagine what the next 52 years will bring.

Then: From the first cars to walking on the moon. Now: From walking on the moon to quad-copter drones flying around on Mars. From room sized computers to computers in our pockets.

Or when those same “reputable” dealers throw stuff up on Gunbroker rather than selling to normal customers who just want to walk into a store and see/buy stuff.

In negotiating classes the is called "Referring to a higher power" Not unlike what the car sales man does when he says "let me run this deal by my sales manager". I get it all the time, I want to talk to my wife or sometimes its the accountant. Most of the time its a ploy to get more time. It is very telling when someone wants to blame others. In those times I want to respond by asking for your wife's number so I can negotiate with her.

We discuss anything over $400ish before either of us bother someone with a purchase. "Putting your Wife in her place" is worse than stringing someone along IMHO. It also disrespectful and dishonest to use the Wife as a scapegoat.

Damn, talk about similarities. My wife and I are the same way. We discuss major purchases together to agree. The only thing she's checked me on was I was literally 5 minutes from the Harley Davidson stealership when she finally told me that she didn't want me to buy a motorcycle. I got really pissed about her not telling me her true feelings up front as I value complete honesty between us both. I called the dealership and simply cancelled the purchase. By the time that I got back home I calmed down enough to realize that she witnessed me nearly dying at Beech Bend's 1/4 mile drag strip in my GT500 just a few years before, and the worry she'd have about me on a V-rod on the city streets was immensely greater. Not that she didn't trust me, she didn't trust the other drivers on the street. After my Id, (a Freudian reference), got use to the idea of not having the motorcycle I was glad that I didn't buy it. I had a motorcycle while in the Marine Corps stationed in Kommiefornia where motorcycles are ubiquitous, but here the car and truck drivers do not look for motorcycles very well because they are not ubiquitous.

"...those desiccated chickpeas you call testicles that she keeps in a pouch around her neck might get crushed when you strain that short leash." That's the best thing that I have read in weeks.

One of best ads I ever saw went something like this: Motorcycle for sale, like new, apparently when your wife says "do whatever the eff you want," she doesn't really mean it. I'm approved to buy whatever I want, assuming I have squirreled away the cash to to buy it.

agreed never use C3 for self defense, no need to interject the feds into your life.....ever... I had a encounter with LE years ago, seen 3 guys who looked like LE and the far end of the shooting lane, did a mag dump, 1 guy headed my way, you cant own that, me I'm legal, him no way, me I have papers but you might want to contact your supervisor, him I'm the chief of police, ok try the city attorney or I can google the number for ATF in Nashville and you can speak to a field agent, turned away and left........wasn't even trying to be a di<k either...

In general exposed rim cartridges don't feed or load all that well in box style magazines. Traditional cartridges' and shotgun shells from the period of transition from percussion fired weapons (powder, patch, ball) were typically straight wall and with an exposed rim. These feed just fine from a tube magazine and a lift mechanism or could be easily extracted/ejected from a break action. As higher power "modern" cartridges came into play things shifted. Now there was a concern that the modern jacketed and point tip bullets were not safe in a tube magazine however with their traditionally rebated rims they would load and feed in a box style magazine. The spring loaded box magazine lends itself to bolt action as the bolt will compress the magazine spring when closed and then strip that next round from the magazine when cycled. You can do this with a pump action but there would need to be a rotational aspect designed into the action, such as a cam, to rotate the bolt and lock the lugs into the barrel/extension since you do not have the manual rotation of the as you would in a bolt action.

Really depends on the gun. My LCP II 380 with a 7rd extended magazine and hogue grip is a heck of a lot easier to handle than the bone stock model, without adding much heft.
