My father has tried to reestablish a quail population on his land near Manchester; he's worked with Quail Unlimited and started a couple of coveys that are around for a year or two and then disappear. We don't know if they move away or are all killed off -- we aren't hunting them. Dad's too old to work on a project like this any more so I guess it will eventually fall to me or else it will be abandoned. It's too bad that quail hunting has about died out across the South. Some of my most enjoyable memories of the outdoor sports involve quail hunting.

Yeah, this is a remarkable story for NPR, since they have to be aware that greater acceptance of suppressors/silencers in the military will likely spread into the civilian world also. Maybe they're going to start reporting more honestly on firearms related issues...naw, stop dreaming. Cheers, Whisper

Action job on one revolver, possible repair on another. Because they are discontinued models I want the work done by someone with experience; not just some guy with a vise and a hammer who thinks he can work on guns.

I'm signed up. I last trained with Tom Givens at his old Rangemaster facility in Memphis back in 2005. Anyone else going? Cheers, Whisper

No ideas at all? How about recommendations of Nashville/Murfreesboro gunsmiths to avoid? Thanks, Whisper

Looks like I'll be able to make this one. Hope the match is BUG friendly. Cheers, Whisper

Does MTSC have more than on FB page? The one I just checked hasn't had any new posts since May 7.

Thanks, DMark. Probably too late for me to rearrange my weekend schedule now but at least I'll know for next month.

I think this is one of those films that deserves the big-screen treatment for full enjoyment. And, concealed means concealed.

Who's the best gunsmith in the Nashville/Murfreesboro area for S&W revolver work? Thanks, Whisper

So IDPA matches in Manchester are on Saturdays now? A post on this board in September said they were on Sundays. Thanks, Whisper

Just trying to find out if there's an IDPA match this weekend at the range in Manchester. I understand the match schedule for last month is not the same as the normal schedule. Info on the club's FB page and the IDPA match schedule page is contradictory, so I'd appreciate hearing from someone who knows. Thanks, Whisper

Is anyone planning to attend Tom Givens' Firearms Instructor Development Course in Franklin, 29 Sep-1 Oct? I'm probably going to register this week and am interested whether anyone I know might be going. If not, I guess i get to make some new friends. Cheers, Whisper

I agree the folks at Guns N More are great, but I called them yesterday and they said all the lowers in stock have Gadsden or Molon Labe engravings on the receivers. I just want plain ones. But thanks for the suggestion.

What's the best place in the Nashville/Murfreesboro area to buy AR lower receivers? I'm mainly interested in Anderson Mfg or Aero Precision, but I'd consider others if the price was right. Thanks, Whisper

I've had a 9mm Shield since they first came out. At the time I said, "Too bad they don't make one without the safety." When they started making them without the safety, I bought one. I said, "Too bad they don't make it in .45." Then they made the .45, and last month I bought one of them. I am going to replace the front sight with something more visible, but aside from that I don't know what improvements I would want. Cheers, Whisper

What time on Saturday? I've been wanting to try BUG division with my Shield and this looks like a good chance. Thanks, Whisper

An XDS with a hammer, a safety, and a Grip Zone. No thanks.

This is interesting. I haven't been to Warrior Talk in a couple of years, but after reading this thread I checked in and I see that my password has been changed and I can't get into my account any more. However, I do still receive the regular promotional emails from Suarez. (His emails are pretty heavy on pushing product, but in fairness, they also do contain some useful info.) I've not been badmouthing Suarez or WTF online so I'm a little puzzled why they would block access to my account, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Agreed. Concealed is concealed. Be respectful and quiet, drink your coffee, and move on. No problems created or encountered.

I agree with this, but I am not sure about the rest. I have heard a couple of anecdotal reports recently of people with leftist friends and family who acquired guns in anticipation of a ban (sort of like Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords, who tried to buy an AR) and who subsequently discovered that guns and shooting are actually quite cool. More RKBA education and outreach to the misguided could make a difference. Also, women make up a larger and larger percentage of gun buyers. We could have an opportunity here for the next four years.

Yeah, a Winchester Model 70 with a nine-round internal magazine. I want one. Did anyone else notice that if Alexandria hadn't had gun registration -- the "inventory" list kept by Olivia -- the Saviors wouldn't have known how many guns the group had? Cheers, Whisper

Good luck to Eugene in reloading that .357 to fit Rosita's 9mm. Firearms technical mistakes are too plentiful in TWD. You would think that they'd have someone working on the show who had seen a gun before.

Agreed. We should start putting the pressure on now, and keep it on. Our US reps here in TN will not be changing in January, so we should be in touch with them immediately. Cheers, Whisper

I was discussing this just yesterday with a guy who works at a gun store that sells silencers. (I won't name the store because I imagine the employee might get in trouble for his candor.) He said he does not own a silencer himself but has been planning to buy one. Now that Sauron has been defeated, he says he is going to wait. His view: If the Hearing Protection Act becomes law, new silencer manufacturers will appear overnight like dandelions in the spring, and silencers costing $1000 now will cost $200 by summer. Trump promised a stimulus to American manufacturing. The HPA would sure help. Cheers, Whisper
