The Violence Policy Center, a gun control advocacy group, released a study this week finding that concealed handgun permit holders killed at least seven police officers and 44 private citizens during the two-year period ending in April. "The hard facts are that concealed handgun permit holders do not prevent mass shootings, they perpetrate them," said Kristen Rand, the center's legislative director. Where is my pepto?

I already have a G27 that is my primary carry....and a Sig 229 that rests in the box waiting for my 15 yr old...looking for something to pull nightstand duty along with some major capacity in a full size frame...Glocks have proven themselves to me to be VERY dependable and accurate for a subcompact...anyone shot the Glock and the XDM....what is the comparison on the trigger?
-
Hey all....trying to pick everyone's brain a little here....what are your thoughts on the G17 as compared to the XDM9mm? My points of comparison would be accuracy, reliability, smoothness of the action / trigger, take down........any input is appreciated.

Yes....you can convert the G27 to a 9mm. Lonewolf carries the conversion barrels...I have heard great things but have yet to try one out. I am not much on the cartoon character logo, and they do offer a black version and one with the logo on the back side of the barrel FWIW...they recommend to have the G26 mags to eliminate any feeding issues. My Sig 229 is .40 and I have a 9mm BarSto barrel...it uses the .40 cal mags with 2 additional rounds and no ftf after 1,000 rds. I do like the BarSto product as it is more accurate than I am and they do make a barrel for the G27/9mm conversion....a litlle more pricey though. Oh yea...there is also Storm Lake barrels....good feedback as well...good luck

Johnson City commissioners need a polite education
tbuford replied to RinTN's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
"City commissioners uncomfortable with Tennessee ‘guns in bars’ bill Johnson City Mayor and owner of Jane’s Lunch Box restaurant, Jane Myron, said she feels the recently passed bill allowing carry permit holders to bring guns into restaurants, including those serving alcohol, could compromise the safety of restaurant patrons. Thought we could carry in restaurants now...just not the ones that serve alcohol????? “In my restaurant, there’s no need to be armed,” she said. “I would not feel comfortable and would probably ask them to give me the gun until they leave.” Jane, Jane, Jane....you would not feel comfortable and would ask for my gun until I leave? Think not...then you would be breaking the law (unless you have a permit, which I doubt).....and then I and all other patrons would feel uncomfortable. The bill, also referred to as the “guns in bars” bill, would allow Tennessee carry permit holders to bring weapons into restaurants that serve alcohol. According to Associated Press reports, the controversial legislation, which passed the House and Senate, was vetoed in late May by Gov. Phil Bredesen, but the veto was later overridden by the House and Senate. The bill is set to take effect on July 14. “It’s a bad mix,” Myron said of guns and alcohol. “It’s like oil and vinegar.” Oil and water Jane...come on now...why am I not putting much faith in Jane's opinion? Myron’s stance on the issue appears to be the consensus among those serving on the Johnson City Commission. Commissioner Phil Carriger said he would support any steps the city could take to keep guns out of restaurants that serve alcohol and anticipates the legislation may soon be discussed among commissioners. “I think that question will be asked the next time the commission meets, the next time the commission gets together,” he said. “ ‘What can we do, if anything, to keep guns out of bars?’’’ However, municipalities may not have a say when it comes to the guns in restaurants bill, as state law would trump those of municipalities, Myron said. According to Associated Press reports, Nashville council members had been looking at a proposal to use its local beer ordinance to keep guns out of establishments by adding restrictions that would keep businesses with beer permits from allowing guns inside. Commissioner Marcy Walker is among the more than 200,000 carry permit holders in Tennessee. Still, she said the allowance of firearms in restaurants that serve alcohol is “asking for trouble” and feels two bills relating to firearms would put the weapons in places they do not belong. “I would never carry my gun into a park or restaurant,” she said. “I just don’t think it’s an appropriate place for that.” Yea...the bad guys consider whether or not it is appropriate most of the time as well... According to the Associated Press, Bredesen signed a measure Friday that would allow carry permit holders to carry weapons into parks, including local parks, throughout the state. Municipalities can opt out of this legislation, though, as was addressed at the last meeting of the city commissioners. At that meeting, Johnson City Manager Pete Peterson said the city already has an ordinance in place that prohibits weapons in city parks and such information is posted at the entrance to each park. “We have an existing ordinance in place which prohibits weapons from our parks and the parks are already posted,” he said at that meeting. Although cities may be unable to get around the guns in restaurants legislation, owners of the establishments can prohibit guns from their businesses by posting signs at the entrances saying that firearms are not allowed on the premises, according to the Associated Press. Also, those who bring firearms into restaurants where alcohol is served are prohibited from drinking any alcohol themselves. Still, Myron said she is unsure how this could be properly policed. “How do you do that?” Myron said, adding that keeping someone stationed by a restaurant door to help enforce the legislation would be an additional cost. No Jane....the same way that you keep the bad guy out of your store now....but...if you see fit....simply hire security and perform random checks for those awful law abiding citizens... Walker said she would much rather see lawmakers take aim at what she considers some of the state’s more important issues, such as child abuse and the budget. “I just wish that legislators would keep an eye on some of the more pressing issues we have in this state,” she said. -

Deuteronomy 13: 1If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. 5And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Nuff Said.... -

I bought 2 of them for my boys...10 and 15, in 20 ga. Over 500 rounds in each and not a hiccup....most parts are interchangeable with the 500...purchased a Hogue overmold youth stock for the 10 yr old and it bolted right on. Also, we bought fully rifled cantilever barrels for them to use some during deer season (for the 500 as well)...$175 with scopes and no issues at all...they are a great buy.
