  1. Ms. Kerr's "article" seems like a statement of opinion based on more than a few prejudices toward the general public as a whole. I am not sure how you can interject your own opinion (i.e. "The House version, thankfully, is bottled up…") and still call it good old fashion unbiased journalism, or at best reporting the facts of the story. I can agree with the fact that there will be a debate over property rights infringement. However, it would seem that if the law is passed in its current form that a judicial challenge will be forthcoming. The article's use of "facts" from the US Bureau of Labor loosely applies to the headline's sensationalist headline that did its job or selling papers and/or generating internet traffic. "43 percent of workplace homicides involve employees currently on the payroll." For this example, the inverse is also true! Suffice it to say that 57%, or MOST, of the homicides weren't on the payroll. So what does this statement of fact have to do with parking lot gun storage in most of the cases? Nothing. Also, the quote from Dr. Larry Barton (http://www.shrm.org/Publications/HRNews/Pages/GrievanceCollectors.aspx) is taken out of context and goes on to say: "While workplace killings are down in the United States, written and verbal threats in the workplace were up about 30 percent in 2009, and there has been an increase in suicides at or related to work, according to Barton… “But it’s far better,†he added, 'for an organization to act with integrity according to its stated values and be seen by some as ‘politically correct’ than to allow the actions of one disturbed individual result in an entire community inside its workforce being diminished or mistreated.'" It is MY opinion that a "Journalist," like Ms. Kerr should consult her source before quoting his or her statements - in this case presumably without their knowledge. It is also MY opinion that this article AND this legislation are trying to cash in on fears about workplace safety.
  2. Would love to be in on that too!
  3. More reason to carry condition 3... just a preference I guess.
  4. This is incomprehensible to the average politicians I guess... yikes!
  5. I agree. It is a stretch to even try to make this about Nashville. And furthermore, to put a "survey" at the bottom of the report about banning assault style weapons is very distasteful... ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
  6. I am starting to think the problem might be Walmart, but that's a topic for another thread... ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22

  8. Mixed feelings on this one... maybe we could settle on an abbreviated version or just cycle the action a couple of times.... trying to be proactive and not have any more videos of people getting extra holes.
  9. +1 for muzzle safety. I am sure it will be unpredictable and vary with each gun, ammo, outside temp, and any number of other conditions. So when the zombies are at your door, switch to your side arm for a few while the barrel cools off... ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
  10. We should try to make a bid for it if they let it expire...
  11. What sight is that on the back rail? Did it come with the gun? I was looking for a good option for mine. ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
  12. I was fortunate to have been part of the audio team that recorded their last PBS special from the fox theater in Atlanta. An amazing set design with a great performance! ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22

  14. +1 for the 5.11 belt ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
  15. +1 to what lostpass said about media salesmen... ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
  16. Even though they all voted the same way, their opinions were all published with different reasoning as to the interpretation on the fourth amendment. Most were of the opinion that there should be " a reasonable expectation of privacy." One opinion was trying to make the " trespassing on my property " reasoning fit the mold. Seems a little off, but the end result is good for civil liberties...
  17. Do you happen to know who to contact about that? I would be interested in a couple of those too... ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
  18. Anyone got a good recommendation for a commercial spec sling adapter that would fit my ar with a commercial tube and magpul Stock? I am a lefty so I was wishing for an ambi sling mount... ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
  19. http://vimeo.com/26120590 Not one bit of logic or reasoning in this video! I guess they don't realize the folks that are open carrying are contributing to the immediate security of the store.
  20. Welcome to tgo! I am a long time target shooter who is interested in getting into hunting small game... Perhaps you might be willing to show me the ropes here in tn... ---- Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) P229 and P6 /// Ruger Target 10/22
