That's huge help.  Thank you.  I assumed that was the case, but as a non-dealer I wanted to make sure I was following the law.  I can see the person who would buy it from me being leary about me (a private individual) holding their item until I get the tax form but after taking their money.  

I have a suppressor I'd like to sell. (Huntertown Arms 9mm)  My question is how do we do the transfer of the suppressor once I have a deal with someone?  Do I hold it until the stamp comes back or do I use a 3rd party?  Is there a SOP?

Does anyone know of a machine shop in mIddle Tennessee (Nashville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, etc) that can complete an 80% AR lower?

I think you're wrong here. If you go to the FN website they clearly offer an FNX45

[quote name="tnhawk" post="1141641" timestamp="1398201305"]Some of those who fought for our freedom were considered felons by England. I'm sure some of those who helped create this Country and our freedom were also too young to be considered adults. Age and previous actions alone, should not prevent one from the right to defend themselves and families.[/quote] I'm not arguing with you. I just like to hear some people's reasoning. I'm just making arguments for all sides. Something to think about. As I stated earlier, I still struggle with my own thoughts on it. Heaven forbid but if a woman I loved was assaulted and the man convicted, would I then want him coming back to society allowed to carry a firearm? My believe in the 2A says he should have the right, but the other part of me says no way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! A straight answer. I'm happy to find someone with a unapologetic opinion on this topic. Now if I could get my own feeling straight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So your answer is you are ok with it? (felons and children)  I'm ok with that answer, but the point I see being made in threads like this is that people stand true and firm on the second amendment.  Living to the letter of the law and quoting it to defend their right to carry constitutionally.  Yet they make no mention of laws that are already passed that limit people from carrying.  The 2A makes no mention of age, criminal history, or other exclusions we readily except on the basis of "common sense".   Now, I am asking without sarcasm, are we ok with these exclusions because we think it makes us safe (not letting minors and felons carry)?  My point to those with perceived firm footing on the pro 2A side of the fight is are you ok with EVERYONE carrying a gun?

Ok, I am claiming ignorance.  What does the law say about carrying into a private business that has signs telling you not to?  Is there laws to back up the business? I have looked but can't find clear language on this topic

Do you think everyone should be allowed to own a firearm, even convicted felons and children?

This topic has digressed.  My intention was to not stir this pot, but ,rather, to get thoughts and learn.  You sir are someone I should have a beer with and discuss further.   But, as far as this thread goes, I'm exhausted

I don't want the law to require it, but if the libs are going to push a law I would rather see that one. But, I have to disagree with you on your point about "everyone" agreeing.  I just don't think all people do.  That is what scares me about unrestricted open carry.  I think defensive training as a whole should have a bigger presence in this community. I would love to see it taught in schools..i.e: you have the right to carry a gun now he is how you use it.  They teach us to speak and debate to exercise out freedom of speech.  They even teach us the dangers of drunk driving so we can drink responsibly, but guns don't get the positive attention they need.  "Most" people would agree with me, but it's the other ones that scare me and ultimately give us a bad name.

No where does it saw that training is required to enjoy your 2A rights.  I would just hope that if you chose to carry (open or concealed) that you would have the sense to be prepared.  Is that anti second amendment?.  My question to you is why so much push back on this topic?  Do you think it's adequate to just have a gun?  Is that what makes you safe?  I am not arguing anything anti rights.  I am venturing into a tangent about what responsible gun ownership looks like.

Well your opinion is just that, but we are taking about USING a firearm for self defense or the defense of others.  People can own as many as they want. I don't think training should be required to own or even hunt with guns, but we are not talking about hunting.  Carrying with the intent to use it in an aggressive, unpredictable scenario involves making multiple life altering decisions in seconds.  If you want untrained people protecting your loved ones when you're not around then you can have them.  As stated before, don't let a few examples dictate reality.  If some police chief isn't smart enough not to shoot his buddy that's not an argument that being trained is useless.  There is big difference between using guns for hunting and using them for defense.  Good luck on your success if you have never trained for defensive gun fighting and carry a gun for defense.  Don't mistake my values.  I will toe the line to fight if anyone tries to infringe on my 2A rights. But, just because you can doesn't mean you should.  

Nope, a permit shouldn't be required.  Training should.  So come up with a way to show prove of training and you'll have my vote

So, we are ok with someone with no gun handling experience carry a gun?  That person will get themselves (or worse someone else) shot/ killed.  I agree that 2A rights shouldn't be limited but I also think people need to prove they have adequate knowledge to USE a gun.Just carrying it doesn't help anybody.  Come up with a way that keeps our freedoms free, but requires sufficient training to use a firearm and then you have my vote.  You have to keep the irresponsible and uneducated from just strapping on a gun and feeling empowered and then trying to use.     Bring on your arguments

You're not a fan of limiting carrying to people who can legally own a firearm?  So if you can't legally own a firearm you think you should be allowed to carry one?

So the new open carry without a permit law passed the state senate.  What are your thoughts?  Do you think someone should be able to carry a gun without a permit?  What do you think about open carry?  What message does open carry send to the public?  Bring on the opinions...

Glock 19 with a 870 on my way out of the bedroom.  Also a ZT Kershaw for close encounters and my electronic hearing protection.  I don't want to fire a round in an enclosed area and then be too deaf to hear other intruders or my family moving around.

Speaking of the KISS method.  In simpler terms.  Stop the bleeding, maintain their airway.  But like everyone here has mentioned.  Get some training.  It's just like shooting.  All the cools gear and guns does not make a great shooter.  Shooting makes a great shooter.  Now for a shameless plug: I teach for an amazing company called Wilderness Medical Associates.  We teach everything from first aid up through advanced life support , but we teach you how to deal with these issues when 911 is not an option.  This is a great approach to medicine because it causes you to think outside the box. We are no the only company that teaches this stuff, but we are one of the best (biased opinion)  I would be happy to tell you more about it.  Just hit me up

Learning emergency medicine is always helpful and not just in a SHTF scenario.  Those skills come in handy all the time.  People are correct when they say water is key.  If you can find it online the US Army has a really good study on water purification.  Lists the best purifiers and a temp vs time guide to sterilizing water.  You don't have to boil it.  But for the purpose of this thread and that you mentioned medical conditions I am sticking with education.  There are tons of places to get medical training but make sure they are reputable.  A lot of people think they know what they are saying but they are full of crap or use old science.  (not an advertisement)  I teach wilderness medicine for a company called Wilderness Medical Associates. They are recognized by the American college of Physicians.  There is also SOLO, WMI.  All very good schools and offer classes from Wilderness first aid (2 days) to wilderness advanced life support (6+ days) and they teach all over the country.  Anyway, it's a bit of a passion for me.  If you have any questions hit me up

Ares gear Ranger belt or Ranger lite (I think that's what it is called)  Made of webbing but stiff for guns and comfy at the same time.  I don't see mine wearing out anytime soon after 1 year of use

I have worn G-shock for about 13 years.  I have only had 3 of them in that time.  The only reason I got new ones was because the band failed (and I found one that looked better).  I wore my first one in the Army and it fell with my gear 1500 feet on an airborne op.  I found it and wore it for another 3 years.

That's a good list, but if you had to pick what would be your top choice?

I moved to the Franklin Nashville area.  Working for the FD.  Where can I find info on the gun/ weapons laws for the state?

Hello, just moved ere from Indianapolis.  Glad to find like minded people and always looking for input on where to buy and where to shoot.  Thanks, Kevin
