  I wasn't suggesting that it would every happen in rual TN.  The only possible places would be inside the city of Memphis or Nashville the area's outside the city would be a totally different store.   Thanks Robert

  I hurt just looking at this.   Thanks Robert

  Buy it.  if she doesn't like it I will buy it for that much.  I love my SR45.  They have a very close in feel to a Glock.     Thanks Robert

  I am not so sure.  Memphis and to a certain extent Nashville are pretty good size Liberal city's with Anti Mayors and a police force that is getting more aggressive dealing with drugs.   Thanks Robert

  Amen.  I have seen this over and over again.  Good advise getting a good lock on it.   Thanks Robert

Way cool.   Thanks Robert

  Nope.  Someone else must have pulled the thread up from the graveyard.  It showed up as new messages to me.   Thanks Robert

  Have you noticed the number of people asking you for money?  There are voter lists and there are donor lists.  People who take the time to CC are more likely to contribute to people who at least say they are pro 2a.

  Maryland allows people to apprentice for 2 years instead of having the 1500 hours http://www.dllr.state.md.us/license/cos/coslicreq.shtml.  Sounds like Tennessee is more strict them the people Republic of Maryland strange.  Remember hair stylist do more then cut hair they also use industrial chemical on people hair.  Doing something wrong can seriously hurt someone.  I agree just having a piece of paper doesn't make them good at cutting but in theory they should at least have the knowledge to not do something stupid and hurt someone.   Thanks Robert 

  Unless a police office has "probable cause" he can't search your vehicle unless you give him permission.  However in this case the company is making a policy that if you want to work for them you will grant them permission to search your vehicle.  If they ask to search you vehicle you can refuse and they can't search your vehicle however they CAN fire you right on the spot for violating your terms of employment.  I have never worked for an  employer that had such a policy but it sounds like they exist.  The only real fix is to prohibiting at-will searches and requiring employers to meet certain legal requirements before they could search.  It wouldn't stop an employer from getting rid of you because they suspect you were keeping a gun in your car but nothing will really every stop that.   Thanks Robert

  There seems like there is an interesting story there but I don't know very much about TN law and how it was apparently abused here.  Since the TN bill you reference seems to deal with taxes not sure how the relates to Meth dealers.  Is there another Thread that covers that?   Thanks Robert

  Buying 1000 rounds of 3 calibers is much less then buying 1000 rounds of 10 calibers.  And buying 5000 rounds of 1 caliber is generally cheaper then buying 1000 rounds in 5 calibers.   Thanks Robert

  That sounds like an interesting story?  What happened to the Judge?   Thanks Robert

  I don't see any shotgun rounds in the list?  No love for shotguns?  I have keep myself to .22lr, 9mm, .45, 12g, and 5.56mm/.223 myself to keep the type of ammo I need to a min not to say I do have a few odd ball sizes but if I can't fire my 30/30 because I can't find a box of the stuff oh well.     Thanks Robert

  Glad she was able to find a gun.  Since I carry a Glock 19 I have to say she made a good purchase :).   Thanks Robert

  .22lr I haven't seen a box of that stuff cheap in more then a year ;)

  I agree but he was asking about a "solar generator"  Those are basically a solar panel, solar charger, battery's, and an inverter most also include a traditional battery charger.  I was addressing the specif question asked.  Most of these come in pretty packages with very limited battery power and are way over priced.  You are correct it is better to power the lights using LED directly off the bettery and only using the inverter when you need something that requires an inverter.   Thanks Robert

  Steven Harris has written a large number of books and video on power.  He has a really neat project installing battery and an inverter in the back of his trucks and making a portal power station you can take anywhere.  PS a solar generators is really a battery backup system with a solar charger added to recharge the battery.   http://www.stevenharris.net/   Thanks Robert

  Government is too big and just keeps adding in more and more laws.  Things have gotten so bad that everyone breaks some kind of law it is just a mater of what laws and when.  Combined that with people no longer knowing there neighbors and for the most part no longer talk though problems instead they just call the cop's.  That is the real problem people are depending more and more on the cop's being the ones to determine what is legal and illegal.     That gives a police officer who many times will have very little legal training a huge amount of power  and responsibility however cop's aren't superman and they make mistakes.  Cop's use to admit when they made a mistake but now if they do people see $$$$ signs and sue everyone because of this cop's know when they make a mistake it can very easily cost them there jobs so they try and cover there behinds.  You can see this when people are charged with very subjective charges like failure to obey or resting arrest.  The problem is those subjective charges can cost someone big dollars to fight and even more dollars if in the end they lose.  Making maters worse most people will lose in the end because Jury's are going to trust the cop's word over just about anyone else's and your life will never be the same because someone else made a mistake.     I am not sure the best way to fix this.  One way is for people to stop depending on cops to settle everyday disputes.  Also find a way for cops to admit they made a mistake that doesn't leave everyone open for a law suit but at the same time not requiring someone who is caught up in the mistake having to pay.   Thanks Robert

I would love one of these but Maryland is one of the states were this is regulated.

  Glad for you.  I have been working on getting out of the state of MD since SB171 passed.  It has just taken me this long to get everything in place.  Looking forward to heading down there in May to look at housing.   Thanks Robert

  Thanks for the breakdown will need to check out those area's.  I known the office is inside Chattanooga city limits because they use EPD for Internet service but based on maps from Google I doubt it is anywhere near downtown.  Based on the map it is about half way between the Airport and the Tennessee River on route 153.  I would put it in the North west part of the city.  Since it sound like you know the Chattanooga area pretty well what is the job market like in the area.  Stats only go so far it doesn't tell you if there is a large percentage who just stopped looking because there really isn't any jobs in the area or there are jobs in the area and most people who are looking are going to find them.   Thanks Robert

I keep an empty chamber mainly because I am still relatively new to firearms and despite practicing hard I can still find my figure on the trigger.  When I find it I stop and force myself to fix the issue but it takes time to train muscle memory like that.  I am getting better and am making mistakes less frequently but until my mistakes are pretty much zero I am not ready to carry one in the camber.   Thanks Robert

  I have used a lot of brands for both work and personal.  HP gives you some of the best bang for your buck and local places tend to have a fairly large selection of types and modules to choose from.  Toshiba isn't bad either have had very good luck with them but most shops will only have 1 or 2 models available.  Asus worked well but started having Fan problems after about 2 years.  Acer was pure junk had problems right away.  Dell a bit costly but tend to be built well.  

Inside the house is kinda hard since I generally run around the house wearing stuff that doesn't lend well to caring.  I do however have a gun handy were I work and watch TV and 1 hidden inside pretty much every room of the house.  Most of the time it wouldn't be a smart move to break into my home.   Thanks Robert
