The link below indicates that he's 18. Perhaps he'll spend his 19th birthday in jail. Interestingly enough, it lists two (2) charges.
1. Robbery, Aggravated, Weapon or Object
2. Weapon, Illegal Purchase or Attempt to Purchase
Do you have to be 21 to buy a handgun in TN? I thought 18 was the minimum for non-dealer sales.

A couple of months ago Academy and Walmart in my area had 22lr available for a few weeks, but it didn't last. The selection at Academy dwindled to a few boxes of a couple of varieties. Walmart had shorts a week or two ago and had a few boxes of CCI 22lr for ~$0.07/rnd. Otherwise they didn't have any since the brief glut.

If they weren't cops. I would be all for Californians shooting themselves. I reckon they need to see if there's a New York trigger option for the M&P.
I know there is a Massachusetts trigger option (10#).
I learned a new term from this quote in the article. I'd never heard of a "tactical unintended discharge" before.
"as soon as widespread use of the new gun by field deputies commenced, there was a marked increase in tactical unintended discharges -- that is, deputies firing weapons without intending to do so during police operations."
I propose to modify it slightly: "tactical unintended round discharge". We'll call it TURD for short.

Choices are: smith wesson 6 shot 38 special snub with adjustable sights and the pin on the hammer (350), ruger sr9c stainless (3560), glock 27 (399), or sig p250 45acp compact (449), all the pistols have only one clip. Which would you buy and why?
I compared the following at a local range: SR9c, M&P40c, and Glock 23. The SR9c had the best trigger, but one of the range employees said it was not as reliable as the other two (2). I came across a deal on a police trade-in M&P40c, and since it had a better trigger than the Glock I bought it.
If the availability of aftermarket accessories is important, then get the Glock. The SR9c will likely have the best trigger.
I hope that helps.

David Folkenflik (sp) of NPR, just said in reference to the Chattanooga attack, that "that thing down in Tennessee" was "suicide by cop".
That's the first time I've heard the media or NPR refer to the attack since shortly after it happened. I've no doubt that that's the edict that's been handed down, as I doubt Mr. Folkenflik would make that proclamation on his own. I realize the label doesn't matter or change what gappened, but the fact that our military was targeted by someone on our own shores and it's being described as just a run of the mill suicide by cop is sickening. Suicide by cop generally doesn't involve a murderous rampage across multiple venues.I'm not familiar with David, but I wouldn't exclude the possibility he had a really stupid thought all by himself. Presenting it as "just" suicide by cop is ridiculous. I suppose the end might have been suicide by cop, but the beginning and middle seem like a terrorist attack. As you said, I would not have expected him to leave the original scene if it were "just" a suicide by cop.

How many magazines did they send you?

There was also this post about it that got no replies. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/91538-taurus-lawsuit-info/
I checked the link from the OP (and some pages linked from there), and I am not clear on what the new news is. There's been no recent update on the law firm's website.
http://mhhlaw.net/recent-news/
I did find an interesting article, though. The short version is that one of the lawyers says Taurus doesn't have "a fix for the gun" and "will have to offer new gun models in exchange or the $200 cash back." ADDED ON EDIT: I wonder if that quote applies specifically to the PT 609 mentioned in the article or to all of the class pistols.

According to the settlement website, there are a couple of important dates. https://www.tauruscartersettlement.com/
12/14/2015 (this Monday) - Deadline to object or request exclusion
01/20/2016 - Final Approval Hearing Date
Obviously none of the settlement information outlined means much until the judge approve it.

If I read this correctly, he had the dog pinned under his knee before he shot it in the head? Where is the danger in that? If you have the animal under control and pinned, then wait for it's owner to come over and get it. Pit or not.
I noticed the same thing. It sounds like the shooter executed the dog after the threat was already neutralized. I suppose the dog could have still been thrashing around, but it seems suspicious.
The dog's owners learned the hard way how important it is to maintain control of your dog. At least I hope they've learned for the sake of any future dogs they may own.

I'd be about a suspicious of them buying that many cell phones as I would a couple toothless hillbillies buying up all the sudafed. It's not illegal but it sure does look suspicious.
IANAL (or OS), but that could be illegal in TN (depending on how much is in stock). An individual without a prescription is limited to 5.76 grams in any 30-day period or 28.8 grams in any one-year period. It's my understanding that that's a lot, but nevertheless the innocent are punished for the sins of a few.
Regarding the original topic, do you think they might have bought them to mark up and resell at their convenience store(s) or mall kiosk(s)?

Perhaps the alligator was in fear for its life. On a serious note, the guy didn't deserve to die for burglary.

There is currently a discount available on Lifetime Membership, but the price is $500 (instead of $1000). It's my understanding that the price is going up to $1500 in January. The phone number to claim the discount is 888-678-7894.

Yes,, online and in store......wish they would open a store in the Memphis area!!!!!! Have a set of their Falken Rocky Mountains on my 4x4 now...love the tire except they knock about 5 mpg off mpg!!! Had a set on the wife's trailblazer ext she was happy with them!
I believe there is one on Goodman road in Southaven, and I think there's going to be one built in Cordova.

I'm pretty sure I spotted a TGO sticker on Winchester in Collierville around 19:05 tonight. It was on a dark (green I think) GMC Sierra.

Glad you're okay! I had to re-bolt a mechanical fuel pump to the side of an engine block on an old '72 Cutlass on I-240 over Airways many years ago. It had come unfastened and was hanging by the fuel lines. I had my dad bring me some bolts and nuts (one post and one bolt). That was before I had a cell phone. It wasn't nice when the semi's whizzed by and shook the car. I hate that I sold that car.
My day has been crazy. I'm grateful I wasn't stranded on the shoulder in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Read.
Pay attention.
Profit.

The worst thing going right now is the standoff between the fed and wallstreet. The investors keep jacking stuff around to spook the fed into keeping interest rates low, and the fed keeps waiting for the "perfect time" to raise rates (that will never exist). The market is somewhat predictable at times, but right now the only time you know if it's going up or down is when the fed threatens to raise interest rates, then says they will wait.
Actually that particular behavior serves to enhance the returns of the fund SupaRice touted. That fund is designed to go up as the volatility of the market goes up--possible oversimplification warning. The particularly interesting correlation is that it really jumped up as the volume of trading in itself rose.
Unfortunately I think SupaRice is gloating, and we all know it's not nice to gloat. ;)
It might just be time to own something like that...

My wife has a Ruger SR 9C not much bigger in size. Easy to shoot and well Rugers customer service has always been exceptional.
Might be worth a lookI rented one a couple of weeks ago, and I really liked the trigger. An employee at the range mentioned that it hadn't been as reliable as the Glocks and M&Ps. What has she seen from a reliability standpoint?
I ordered a police trade-in M&P40c from Bud's.

It has been over a year since I have seen .22 ammo on any Walmart shelf in this area. Sporting Goods associates are still saying they only get a little in at a time and that is only once or twice a month. Gouger Mountain is usually sold out, too. Was in GM here in Knoxville week before last and all they had on the shelf was the high-dollar (even before the inflated Gouger Mountain price) target rifle stuff. Academy in Knoxville is hit or miss. The mom and pop places will sometimes have .22 ammo but prices are usually a bit steep. Bulk boxes of .22 ammo? Heh, it has been so long since I saw one of those in a store that if I didn't still have a couple on my ammo shelf from before the scare I probably wouldn't even remember what those are.
I was told that Academy in Olive Branch, MS had quite a bit including some 300+ packs this weekend. I verified that Walmart on Winchester (Memphis) still had quite a bit of Blazer 50ct this evening, and Academy in Collierville had a decent assortment of low count boxes including some CCI subsonic. I'm not sure if they had any stingers. It's still behind the counter, though.

Bartlett Wolfchase Walmart had 30-40 Blazer 50 round boxes, Academys got different brands of 22 LR, Winchester 2 kinds, Aquilla 3 versions, Blazer all in 50 round boxes. Dicks has 525 Thunderduds, 100 round Golden Boys round nose, several boxes of each. Classic Arms has a shelf full of CCI quite, Winchester 100 round red box, Auto match 325 and a few single boxes of oddball brands.
Couldn't scratch up a box of 22 Magnums or CCI mini-mags anywhere today....Walmart on Winchester in Memphis had about 120 boxes of Blazer (50ct) this afternoon. Collierville had some last week but ran out on Friday.

My apologies for not getting back with you guys sooner. I spoke with the Officer who handled the bids and he said we had fired approx. 5,000 rounds (.40) through the 320 before "the trigger seized". Apparently the weapon would fire one round and not re-cock, causing it to be unfireable. I would like to add that the 5,000 rounds were not shot concurrently, but in 500 round (approx) sessions.
Thanks for the info. I was seriously considering one, but a good deal came up on some police trade ins (M&P40 and M&P40c). I might still buy one eventually. Time will tell...

Quick story about the "logic" of stuff: years ago I was walking out of a Wally with bunch of 9mm, bag broke right there in entrance way and a hundred box spilled all over the place. One woman pointed and literately screamed, "BULLETS!", people were backing back out of the door, couple of employees come out, general whatnot ensued, I kid you not.

How many were you able to recover? Inquiring minds want to know. :pleased:

Thanks for the "heads up". I tried to use that code on a used M&P40c, and It told me the following: "No products matched the requirements for this coupon." It looks like it only applies to the full sized...decisions...decisions...

I remember finding out about it when I got into work that morning. I don't remember if only one plane had hit or two (2) at that point. I worked near the Memphis airport at the time, and it was eerily quiet outside once all of the planes were grounded. I worked for a commercial airline, and those were uncertain days for us. I remember using the United website to check the status of one of their flights that had crashed. Needless to say I was surprised that they listed the status as having arrived early. I wonder if I still have that printout somewhere.

I'll find out the exact failure for you. We didn't torture test it, but I bet we put 1,000 rounds through it over the course of a month.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWere you able to find out the problem? I'm interested in the P320, and I'd like to know.
Thanks

I got to feel the trigger pull on one of these today. I'd like to hear a range report, too.
Thanks

That's what makes me lean toward the second charge being bogus. I guess if anyone cares enough to follow up on this story, we will find out eventually. I don't care to take the time to try to and find any priors right now.
