Sadly, believe it or not... And this comes as a surprise to me as well... Tennessee was ranked 2nd most violent state long before the Colorado shooter, lol. I wouldnt have even guessed. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

As a former police officer now pursuing a criminal justice degree... Trust me, you wont get anywhere fast without a degree no matter what department you work for. It doesnt really matter what you major in as long as it isnt something absolutely useless like basket weaving or art. Law Enforcement is a respectible career to choose but it really has to be something you want to do. You wont make it if all youre doing it for is the money. If you want money, be an accountant or doctor. Dont get me wrong though, there is certainly money to be made. Within a police department, you will still have to start out like everyone else. The difference is and where it REALLY counts is about 5 years down the line when promotions come youre way. Or you may find that patrol is your calling. A lot of police officers do end up staying in patrol. Anyway, my point and the good part is that once youve gotten more experience and a degree under youre belt, the FBI and the like begin to drool. You will have a decent selection of opportunities depending on what you want to do and at what point you find yourself satisfied. To reiterate, law enforcement is an excellent lifelong career choice. Within a metro sized police department, you will find there is a large variety of jobs available and lots of room for advancement. Its also one of those careers that can adjust to your lifestyle changes as you get older. You can get patrol work out of your system while youre young and put youre degree to use to slowly work your way off the streets. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

Hell, RIMPAC is going on right now here in Hawaii, haha! (On vacation visiting my family) Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

Here are my two choice EDC! Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

Do you EDC a fixed blade?

As another former LEO on this forum, THAT is pretty funny! Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

I used to have that knife. Its a great blade especially with the adjustable kydex. I cant think of a better fixed blade thats under 4". I also cant think of a situation where open carrying a fixed blade would be useful. For me, a pocket knife is much more comfortable and actually deploys quicker. Check out the Spyderco Endura. They make a beautiful stainless model. All that being said, I prefer to open carry a gun instead. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

HAHAHAHAHA!

Like another guy said... You absolutely gotta take a look at cz-75 models. They are very well known for their accuracy and are used in ispc also. Relatively cheap and very ergonomic. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

You could probably fix the AK yourself!

Did you ever get it fixed?

Before this thread Ive never heard anything bad about metal CZ guns. Not a single thing. I love my PCR Compact and privelaged enough to carry it all day everyday. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

I have an AR you can shoot. Where in TN are you? Im in Murfreesboro but I head to the Woodbury range often. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

I can sharpen a knife just fine. I just dont want to spend the time rebeveling a fat ass kabar. It would easily take an hour and i dont want to do it. Rather take it somewhere with a belt sander. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

Alas, TGO's reputation of having ornery and spiteful members continues. On behalf of TGO, I would like to apologize to The Safe House who continues to support these forums to keep them up and running. I have no idea what happen to such virtues as respect, kindness, and understanding. Times have changed and I don't know where all the good people went. I'd like to move there.

Hatfields and Mccoys, if you will? hahaha I don't know, I got the statistics I was interested in. But whatever, please close the topic then moderators lol

I did a search of the entire forum for "open carry" and I didn't find any threads like this one. I certainly never found a poll. Perhaps you are thinking of another forum that you frequent. Sorry, I was unaware it was such a sore subject.

I appreciate the offer. Im actually just a little south of lebanon. Where abouts north are you? Are you a retailer? Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2

That is without a doubt a very.nice scope. If i was still getting a bolt gun I wouod definately get that scope. However I have serious doubts about my AR15 reaching out that far. Right now Im looking at 1-4 x 20mm style scopes. Leupold and Nikon ones are nice. Having trouble finding mil dot style reticles Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2

I want to thank everyone for their responses. However, this issue has only gotten worse. Simply deciding on a scope is turning out to be the most difficult. So much so, I believe I am just going to buy a scope for the rifle I have right now and forget about a bolt gun. Everyone has told me to spend a million dollars on a scope so I guess I just can't afford a bolt gun anymore. My Colt 6940 has a monolithic rail so I don't know whether or not that helps anything. I suppose I don't need such a large scope anymore being that I doubt I will be hitting much very far with .223. Perhaps a standard 3-9 x 40mm Leupold? Perhaps some kind of fixed power scope? I'm thinking if I decide I like a scope on it, I'll pick up some canted iron sights or a canted reddot for quick shootin (I've always wanted to have that, lol).
