    GIVE ME YOUR HANDS!!!!

     

    We train our animals to listen to our commands, I don't understand why we don't teach our children to do the same. I do not condone the actions of the police but if he would've complied he'd be alive.... and I watched majority of the footage.  Good thing there weren't any white police involved or there'd be cities burning all over America

    I agree about the white police not being involved, but cops should not be giving unlawful commands.  I guess comply give up your rights and live another day.

  2. I used to be a big fan of cops. Donated money when they called.  Not any more. My experience with them was bad.  I had a detective that was determined to ruin my life because I had and attorney and refused to talk to her without him there. Good thing for me my reputation was to much to over come for her.  I have a real problem with them being allowed to lie to the very people they are supposed to work for.  More and more vids are coming out about how they treat people, bully many and lie almost all the time.  I think they are counting on people not knowing the laws or their rights and just assume what they say is true.  I believe there needs to be reform in a way that holds people with that much power accountable.  These guys getting fired and charged with murder is a good start but a long way to go.

  3. In negotiating classes the is called "Referring to a higher power" Not unlike what the car sales man does when he says "let me run this deal by my sales manager".  I get it all the time, I want to talk to my wife or sometimes its the accountant.  Most of the time its a ploy to get more time.  It is very telling when someone wants to blame others. In those times I want to respond by asking for your wife's number so I can negotiate with her.

    While I acknowledge that there are bad apples in LE, as in ANY trade or profession, I continue to respect those who take on the dangerous and necessary job.  Personally, I have never had a bad experience with any cop. Even when I've been pulled over and ticketed, I realized that the cops were doing their jobs and I brought those tickets onto myself by my own choice to speed. LE is a job that I sure wouldn't want to take on, but I am eternally grateful for the GOOD men and women who choose to do it.

    I agree, but most professions do not have the ability to severly change other peoples lives.  Now that everyone has cameras on them the videos of cops lying or demanding others to do as they say regardless seem to show up more and more.  They either do not know the law or lie hoping others do not know their rights or laws.  Years ago a friend of mine were sitting in a park doing nothing illegal.  Cops pulled up and wanted id's from us both.  We did not know any better so we gave it to them after me shooting holes in there reasons for even approaching us.  The cop brought our id's back and threw them in the window.  Not the end of the world but far less than professional.  There are tons of videos of cops demanding id without cause.  I think cops should not be allowed to lie to the public they are supposed to serve.  You and I lie to a cop they take it personnal they lie to you and me no big deal.

  5. I do not shoot the 43 will for some reason.  The size difference is minimal from the 26 which I like a lot and do shoot well.  Not sure why with that small of a difference but it does. Plus the increase capacity of the 26 is nice.  My wife carries our 43.

  6. I recently picked up a G34 that was set up with a red dot.  It was the first time I ever fired a handgun with a red dot site.  Very hard to describe how well I like it.  Very fast target acquisition.  I actually feel like I am cheating when I shoot it.  Been wondering about all my other handguns and how I can get the same set up on them.

    The short version is that we don't have Constitutional Carry yet. You need a permit.

    Details here:https://www.tn.gov/safety/tnhp/handgun/permittypes.html
     

    You do not need a permit to carry in your vehicle. It's considered essentially the same as your home or business.

    You do not need a permit to carry on your person either.  Who does not know this? 

    "Starting with the ‘new’ rules around carrying a firearm in Tennessee with its new “constitutional carry” law:"

     

    • "Basically, anyone over the age of 21 can open- or conceal-carry a handgun without a permit."

    i NEVER open carry, if i need to use my weapon i want it to be a surprise  

    and honestly if i were to want to , i dont know, maybe rob a store and i saw someone open carrying 

     

    I would shoot them

    So you want a murder charge along with armed robbery if you lived long enough to rob the store.  Been down this road before. It does not happen.  If one wants to rob a store one would want to get in and out as fast as possible.  Chances are much greater that if you saw someone OC you would pick a different target.  

  9. Interestingly enough I have never seen anyone open carrying that looked like they were doing in in an irresponsible way nor did it look like they were trying to attract attention.  They just were going about their business like everyone else.  I think we sometimes we project our thoughts on everyone else.  We think everyone is staring at us and they really are not. My picture was in the paper one time and I went to eat and it felt like everyone was staring out me, and they really were not.  The times I have OC I never even noticed anyone looking or staring. I am pretty sure very few people even noticed.  I build my holsters so that it has to be drawn with a slight pull from the front.  It may look easy to take but it would not be.  I also have practiced locking the arm down if I feel a hand arm around there.  We did that drill in martial arts training to combat a attempted full nelson.  If someone was to come from behind and try to grab my weapon it would be fairly easy to isolate the wrist and disarm or get control or that person. We practiced that quite often.      

  10. I do not have a problem with OC.  The few I have seen were not showing off or trying to be the center of attention.  To each their own.  I am more interested in what they are carrying and if I "need" one.  I do not think anyone is scared one way or the other.  The people of this forum are quality folks as best I can tell.  Many served their country and put their lives on the line to do so,  scared, not a chance.  We certainly do all not agree on everything but tend to disagree politely.  I would suggest you do as well.

    You need a carry permit to open carry in TN, is this correct?

    Sorry I answered my own question.  No open or concealed  there is no permit needed.
