apex custom barrel is 1:10 S&W 1.0 = 1:9

August 2019 NRA mag Shooting Illustrated has a good article on the SCCY CPX3.

From many podcasts and fellow shooters, RD are in their teenage years. They are the future.

No permit needed for long gun in auto. Permit is for handguns only.

Clover I noted that you have a HCP, which surprises me that these questions and scenarios weren't discussed. Also remember what is said on the internet can and will be held against you. You will never lose a gunfight you are not involved in; avoidance is the best policy.

So the absence of light is black. Now I think we all agree from a practical standpoint there is a perceived black. Can't discuss what you can't see in regard to color.

scientific reference please

Are you sure about that. Many birds have black feathers, i.e. crows, ducks. Cows, horses etc. I have looked at many...not brown.

Very few things can be explained completely with a few typed lines. As Dave pointed out, your home is not automatically a free kill zone. While the law weighs heavily to the homeowner, your flashlight is a very important tool in the middle of the night. Daytime or night, you still need to recognize your target/intruder. Is it a relative? A drunk student or neighbor that wandered into your home, but otherwise not a threat. A 14 yo who entered on a dare. Is it someone you can live with yourself if you kill them, or will it haunt you the rest of your life, especially if you shot the 14yo in the back running out of your house? Lots of questions with complicated answers to make in a blink of an eye. Again a huge responsibility for a gun owner.

The Castle Doctrine presumes that someone that forcefully and illegally enters your home is considered to be a threat of death or serious bodily injury and therefore one is permitted to use deadly force to end such a threat. Your home is considered highly defensible property only because of the threat to person as noted. Presenting a firearm in and of itself is a potential felony unless justified in the line of self-defense, whether one shoots or not. Shooting someone more than reasonably necessary will also put you at risk of going to jail. And no, as much as you would like to, you can't shoot someone over a pet in most circumstances. l

DaveTN….hadn't thought about that perspective. Makes sense, but still hate the sign law. My push would be ECP = local LEO carry FWIW.

sign up for the 8 hr. HCP class.

That's why I mentioned both in the post. Why ( well that's a never ending question with our legislature) would they even refer to school property at all in this errant piece of legislation? Furthermore, someone is suppose to look over legislation to insure there are no such conflicts. It was ignored in both chambers.

Unless my comprehension is just scrambled, I don't understand why the part I placed in 'bold' is in this law...unless, by intention or mistake, enhanced permit holders may now carry on school properties. This certainly goes against current law. Any opinions?

You mentioned Florida, are you a TN resident? A TN handgun permit course would be a good start.

Just because someone says it, doesn’t make it so

You guys are potentially playing with fire, especially if near the eyes. There are potential life-long complications. Steroids, antivirals, and specific nerve meds can be used. The sooner the meds are started the better the result. And yes I am a medical professional.

Carry in schools K-12 and post-secondary has been legal for several years.....in private schools. Don't know of any that actually do so, but is legal and up to the individual school policy. Second point, the ECP, as it will be referenced should me moved to a status of 'equal to LEO' carry. That will add greater distinction compared to the CCP and solve the sign law criminal charge BS, imo.

Not to be confused with TVA campgrounds/parks

being armed is not much help or assurance regarding sniper fire

Both Cleveland and Oak Ridge Sportsmen Club have IDPA shoots which are open to individuals without any club affiliation. ORSA is first Sat of the month.

Nope, never had anyone trying to shoot me. What exactly does that make one qualified for by itself ? I know how I train and hope I react, but no one can predict your situation or their reaction....the possibilities are endless. My training is fairly extensive and ongoing. I share that with many people including my HCP classes. Trained to a point of unconscious competence is certainly better that the average citizen who may be packing. My reference to being down range is understanding how incompetent the average HCP holder is should they be pressed to draw their firearm. Lowering the training standards certainly does not make me feel any better about my safety. Hopefully the HCP course would encourage further training but it does not; so no mistake on my part on that being sufficient training, but some formal training is better that none.

I know we will not come to an agreement on how much training, if any, should be required to carry a deadly weapon in the public domain. Certainly the majority will not seek any additional training period. The problem is when the poop hits the fan, I don't won't to be downwind of the fan that is slinging bullets. Few train for square range accuracy much less stress environments where every shot counts.

you obviously don't understand human nature.....
