Nice buy. If you really get bitten by the sporting bug, look at the 725 30” bbl.

A300 beretta outlander. Semiautomatic will soften some of the recoil. I believe they come with shims to reduce lop if needed. Will last for many years.

There appears to be a stipulation that says you can't be under the influence of "mind alterimg"substances (alcohol, drugs, etc) when the use of force occurred.
not suprising and one should avoid carrying a firearm if that's the case anyway. In fact, illegal to do so in TN.

poly coated bullets would be a good alternative to Lead cast. Seems to me that a jacketed soft point would be a good choice.

Your son is an exceptional example, your input, training is what separates him from the norm. Society as a whole had to live with the other end of the spectrum- regardless of age.

An example is the kid 18yo Senior at FRA in Nashville who, while riding with his GF, brandished a pistol at a young lady who brake-checked them for tailgating. He was kicked out of the school and faces felony charges.
In this case, stupidity has no age restriction. Plenty of older adults do the same thing everyday, one of the reasons I support training/education. And yes, it is a felony, and financially devastating.

While reading the above references, understand the difference between force and deadly force. Two different things. Force may be referred to as mere force.

Unconstitutional in one state would eventually mean all states....need to have some added privilege to the ECP hoping to encourage training to those that understand the need for it.

Does TN have such a law?
No, but would be nice if we did.

A little bit of

on Casado. He didn’t go to trial, which saved him a ton of money. In FL there is a “Self Defense Immunity” law which worked like it was designed for. Still not cheap, but a bargain in this case. Another good example where Avoidance reigns supreme.

It will be hard to get a definite answer from your HO insurance. Doesn't mean you can't ask, but don't be surprised if you get a 'it depends" answer. Also, in TN, if you have an adjudicated case of SD, you cannot be sued by the other party in a civil case. Does not mean an inocent bystander/victim couldn't sue you though.

Buy a Dan Wesson first, doubt you will have to buy another one. 45 traditional, 9mm more fun and will shoot it more.

without more details, impossible to address actions and reactions. A reasonably safe way to enter a garage is with an automatic opener, staying in your locked car, and closing the door behind your car with the opener as you sit in your locked car. Still one is vulnerable to attack with a gun pointed at you waiting for the door to open or close.
Not everyone has an automatic opener. Elderly couples may have additional handicaps. No one is invincable.

all shots after the initial 4 seem unnecessary to me. If he called 911 at that point, we wouldn't have this conversation.

The article indicates that the perpetrator may have been carrying a fake handgun. How would that effect (if at all) the justification as a SD shooting?
Probably not a bit. If a reasonable person would perceive it as a 'gun' then that is really the bottom line.

I learned about it with handcuffs on next to a man that tried to kill me. That's the only time I was thinking about the law and how it affected me. No charges filed against me.
Certainly glad for your favorable outcome…but it sucks knowing your future lies in the hands of others. That is why studying all one can about SD helps one from being in that situation. Learning by experience is not the preferred method. Unfortunately, most people now charged with felony assault thought they were doing the right thing and never fired a shot. Avoidance is the # 1 plan. I would rather take a butt whooping than pull my gun, that will heal faster than my bank account.

IMO no need for sights .......commit to the dot. Have seen several sight failures, several alternative solutions in an emergency.

Interesting, from your Branca background you would look at hardcadt for anything but wad cutters in snub revolvers.

I know several that own and shoot the Ameriglo Haven Red Dot. Ameriglo is owned by Trijicon. Less expensive, yes, cheap no. Dave Spaulding, a nationally known writer and trainer that uses one talks very favorably of his. They ALL have problems and failures, but I have a SRO and Holosun and I favor the Ameriglo over the Holosun. Size wise, the Ameriglo is between the two.

you are welcome to come into Knoxville and look at what I have

Been pleased with Romeo “0” on mine. 5 moa. Larger guns fan of ameriglo haven.

As said before, get Andrew Branca's book, The Law of Self Defense. Also, the state ECP course should give you a basic guidance on using deadly force in self defense.

HB 1233 - Illegal to store firearms or ammunition in a vehcile or boat if not locked away
in 2A Legislation and Politics

that is essentially the current law now when storing a firearm on school grounds. No different than leaving a wallet, cell phone, or purse in plain view.....simply stupid to do so. Also noted that a law last year increased the penalty for stealing a firearm.
