Knox County Commission votes to allow guns in parks Knoxville News Sentinel KNOXVILLE - Knox County Commission today voted 13-5 in favor of allowing handgun permit holders to carry their weapons in county parks. Voting to allow guns in parks were Commissioners Tony Norman, Ivan Harmon, Mike Hammond, Craig Leuthold, Richard Briggs, Brad Anders, Greg "Lumpy" Lambert, R. Larry Smith, Michele Carringer, Bud Armstrong, Dave Wright, Mike Brown and Paul Pinkston. Voting for the ban were Commissioners Sam McKenzie, Thomas "Tank" Strickland, Mark Harmon, Amy Broyles and Finbarr Saunders. Those arguing in favor of handguns in parks said it should be allowed under the Second Amendment and that there have been few instances of problems with violence in Knox County Parks. Briggs pointed out that there has been no instances of emotional people using baseball bats in confrontations at county parks so he didn't expect parents to resort to using guns as a lethal weapon. Those opposed to allowing guns in parks expressed concern because some parents get emotional during sporting events in county parks. Broyles, who proposed banning guns in parks, said she does not have a handgun permit, but that she was a sharpshooter in high school. "I've been assaulted," Broyles said. "I've been raped. I'm very concerned that there's evil in the world. I'm concerned about children in these recreational leagues." She also noted that the city has a ban on guns in parks and there would be a "patchwork" of greenways - some where guns are allowed and some where they are not. The Legislature this year approved legislation allowing handgun permit holders to carry their guns in local and state parks. The bill included an "opt out" provision where cities and counties could opt out of the legislation. More details as they develop online and in Tuesday's News Sentinel.

You may not have a free floating firing pin. May be spring loaded. This sight has a lot of good info on Universals. Universal Firearms Corp.

Is this a USGI carbine? Is the hammer falling when you pull the trigger? Does is look like the bolt is completely closed? Disassemble the thing and remove the bolt per the instructions on Mike.357's link. Since the firing pin is free-floating you should be to move the pin back and forth freely. Pin should stick out of bolt face when pushed from the back. When reassembling make sure you grease (not oil) all the sliding parts.

Kahr CW-9.

Suntzu, I took the same pictures of that car in the ditch! Was going to post but got too lazy. The windshield wipers were still going! Still can't figure out how that car got in the ditch.

Just received a Streamlight TLR-1 yesterday for my XDm. Brightest thing I've ever seen. It has lumens of the Sun. Lights up every room of the house. Exactly what I wanted.

I came here to say the same thing! Rain - dogs - goats. If somebody finds a way to use all 3 in a sentence.....

But still playing.

Got bell rung.

Quick delivery too! I gots my Tula!

Today's "meek" are the ignorant and uninformed, of which there is an overabundance. Yes, sadly, they will inherit the Earth. As wards of the "state".

Tebow's clock punched!

I rowed over there this afternoon and did not see anything under the counter, as hard as it is to do there. There are some scandalous ammo-whores that frequent the Walker Springs Walmart.

At least 6" or more here in Knoxville.

Don't fret. I'm sure the grabbers have no idea that you can make your own bullets. They don't know anything about guns to begin with.

Samco has surplus 9mm in stock.

The whole thing?

You can always try the gun show in a couple of weeks for a new one.

Well there you have it. Garethsk, you need to jump on that.

I've been to one estate auction here in K-town with tons of guns. What they went for was shocking. All I remember was several zip-lock bags with 6 enbloc clips each (for an M1) going for around $30

Titan, you got the design!
