I had a Taurus 24/7 with a similar problem. It worked fine with aluminum cases, but brass cases would hang. Taurus "adjusted" the extractor, and that helped some. You could see where it had been filed/ground. The second time back they replaced the recoil spring assembly as well.

I don't watch movies very often, but I have watched movies the last two (2) evenings--very different moves as it turns out.

I went to pick up a few things this evening. In my area the Aldi looked quite picked over, and at Kroger the meat section was pretty bare.

My real problem is I have to keep buying new ammo cans...
That could mean you're not shooting enough.

What’s the website that lists prices of dealers? They don’t sell guns, they just list the dealers that have the guns, and can be sorted by price. I can't seem to find it.
Perhaps you're thinking of Davidsons' Gallery of Guns site.

Video of the incident-
Thanks for the link. My first instinct was that it was a domestic situation, but the video leads me to believe it was not that at all. There's a lot there to consider like the importance of moving and drawing.
I can't tell for sure, but it looks like a couple of people swept congregants with their muzzle after the threat seems to be neutralized. The guy in the black vest seemed to have better muzzle discipline.
I wonder how much the age of most of the congregants affected how many people concealment versus running.
It looks like the situation could have been much worse.

In all honesty, I bet the web store side is outsourced, or at least ran on 3rd party servers.
I have not seen any indication the web store was run by a third party, but this article indicates it was probably an unpatched, open source, e-commerce platform that gave the hacker(s) an entry point.

This is the 4" model? From what I understand, you really need the 8-incher before you start turning heads...
I wonder if it's too late to return the 4" model.

I wouldn’t buy an all in one. The laptop is a good idea if you travel and want to take it with you, if you don’t; stick with a desktop. The desktop gives you the most ability and serviceability. If a component goes out, or you need to change something; it’s very easy to do so.
I'll reiterate what Dave said, and I'll add that in my experience desktops seem to perform acceptably longer than laptops. I am pretty sure there are some high-end All-In-One models, but the ones I have experience with have had slow processors.
Dell is a safe bet. I don't trust Lenovo and do not have direct experience with them.

Can anybody recommend a good tree trimmer in the Memphis area? Some one who you have used and were happy with both the work and price?
I've used Red's Tree Service a couple of times and was pleased. I used Mister Tree once and wish I'd used Red's instead.

Also, did yall see where Botham Jean's neighbor has now been murdered as well? Who knows if all of this is related but he was shot last year in November. Then he had to testify in the criminal case and he was going to be called to testify in the civil case as well but he was murdered over the weekend. Dallas police have no suspects and no known motive and they never found who shot him last November either.
It looks like they developed some suspects.

The local U.S. Attorney announced several indictments related to possession of firearms by prohibited persons. Most were felons, but some were prohibited due to misdemeanor domestic violence convictions. Considering the violent crime rate in Memphis, I would imagine this is just a drop in the bucket.

Have there been similar stories of stepped-up enforcement in area parts of the state?

I thought I might need to shrink my list of pizza dealers. I'm glad I misjudged the topic.

I still don't see the logic in Kroger's move, but logic is so 80s nowadays. What does OC have to do with a madman shooting someone inside their store and out in their parking lot? I don't have a problem with Kroger barring OCers, but their timing smells.
I agree about the timing. Perhaps "Everytown" has something to do with it, or Kroger may have just been waiting for someone else to "lead the way" (i.e. Walmart).
What I see as a possible reason is to give them "cover" to engage anyone they see carrying a gun that they deem as suspicious in any way. Without such a policy, they may feel it's too risky from a PR perspective to confront anyone before they become an obvious threat. Practically, I don't think such a policy change will do any good, but I am not sure if the people making that decision would know that.

The real shame here, besides his probable condition, is that families are not aware that the Police don’t need to be involved in this. Too often they don’t know how to handle it, and because guns are involved they call the Police.
Agreed. I notice similar stories and wonder about the regret the family is likely to have for choosing to involve the police--particularly when someone (especially their loved one)--is shot. I'm glad the fallout seems limited to "stuff" in this case.

I have four (4) chains that could be considered grocery stores within 15 minutes of me--and they're all no more than 5 minutes away.
US based Target asked us not to bring our guns in their stores over a year ago--can't remember if it was specifically open carry. Anyway, they didn't post, but I stopped going there for that and other reasons.
US based Walmart and Kroger have now asked us not to open carry.
That leaves German (IIRC) based Aldi. How bizarre.....It's too bad their selection is so limited.
The next closest (at just over 15 minutes away) is probably Sprouts, and they're posted.

I've lived in Shelby county since I was 6, and I have been sorely disappointed eating BBQ pork outside of this area. So, I try to avoid BBQ elsewhere. I've have 3 exceptions in mind, though. I like mustard and would be interested in trying Carolina style pork BBQ in the Carolinas. I would also entertain eating beef brisket in Texas or Kansas City.
My favorite places are Three Little Pigs in Memphis and George's in Collierville (though I'm afraid the latter might not survive).
I like Corky's BBQ chicken, but their pork is quite mediocre to my taste. If I want to splurge, their dry ribs are good. Similarly, I'm not a fan of the pork BBQ at Central but am content with their dry rub ribs. I have not had Rendezvous' ribs in quite a while, so I am not sure if I still like them the best, or not.

One year warranty now.
The warranty on multiple models was made "limited lifetime" retroactively.

I found it interesting that the narration seems to indicate she was carrying an unloaded gun.

Why wouldn't a simple umbrella liability policy suffice?
It is my understanding that "intentional acts" are usually excluded. Shooting someone in self defense would probably be considered an intentional act.
