I went the same way when looking for a more concealable pistol. Couldn't decide if the 43 was worth the extra money. Ended up finding a nice deal on the shield at $329.99 and hopped right on it. It has become my favorite carry gun, but I still wonder what the 43 is like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome, my friend. Ahhh, beautiful East Tennessee, there's nothing quite like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well said, I know of many people who are unfamiliar with the "handgun in car law." Even more strange is the fact that I know people that are under the impression that you are not required to be a holder of an HCP in order to OPEN carry. It would be worth the time for people to familiarize themselves with our state laws from a reliable source rather than what Facebook says or what their friends told them.

Are you sure the guy wasn't carrying a STAPLE gun??? [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sad to hear that, a true legend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As long as your bosses half brother or dad doesn't unintentionally discharge a firearm anytime soon, I'd say everything will be just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw some of those pictures, but was wondering at what point does that start occurring. Hope I never see any copper on mine haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well take purchasing out of the question then, I am more curious than anything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fellow TGO members, Looking to familiarize myself with internal wear (from shooting) on Glocks for future purchases. I started with a Google search but couldn't find any good pictures. If you have the time, would love to see some pictures you have with an estimated round count. Appreciate all the help and effort in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These are great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've thought about this situation many times and I hope I never have to face it. Sorry to hear you are having to deal with this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="btq96r" post="1368300" timestamp="1458437791"]"The thing I want to know is exactly at what point, and where did she see the kid, and what exactly transpired (the 2nd part will be incomplete without more witnesses, probably). Since the alarm alert came to her, and the police were on the way, she probably should have waited for the police to handle things, or at least clear the home to let her know it was empty. When a 50something female decides to check things out, she all but put herself into a situation where her only option for self defense is lethal. While I agree she has the right to defend her life, I would submit that she is culpable for putting herself into a situation she may well didn't have to be in. In the big picture, what I'm worried about is people stretching "stand your ground" into some vigilante version of "movement to contact." Basically, if you wouldn't do something without a gun, why would you think it's okay to do so with a gun? Aside from the obvious issues of untrained, non-LEO personnel putting themselves into those kinds of situations, it's a fast way for those indifferent, or on the fence about gun rights to think the liberal side of things is the more relevant." This is spot on! @btq96r Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see where you're coming from, and I agree with you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This may be a little off the subject, but I want to know what you guys think. Say the government were to propose allowing anyone in the U.S. that is 16 years old drive a car without having to pass a drivers test of any kind, would you support that. Why or why not? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm gonna leave it at this, I don't support this bill. No reason to argue over it, I'm not going to get my panties in a wad because someone has a different opinion than me. I respect your opinion regardless of how I see it, end of story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you forget that your fingerprints are on file and that you had to complete a full background check prior to receiving your permit? That bill isn't going to change anything for anyone. Whoever wants to carry is going to carry whether they have a permit or not, that's my point. Don't be afraid to see things objectively. I get your point, but you seem to trust people more than I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think you are misunderstanding, it is a privilege to be able to carry a handgun in the state of TN, not a right. If it was a right, anyone could carry a handgun. If you feel safe letting anyone in the entire state above the age of 21 who has a pistol (and legally owns it) carry that on them then that's fine. I don't feel that way, but I suppose I am only exercising my right to the first amendment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
