Defender

I like the looks of it. The FAQS said it wont work with optics except for small pistols...

Also have this ‘medical condition, LOL. I have belly bands and a carry undershirt with pouches and other things. What works best for me so far is a good OWB holster, a rigid Kore belt and a loose over shirt or jacket. I have a couple carry fanny packs but don’t use them as they have been considered to scream, Gun! I’ve also got a couple cross body sling packs, and while I like them, I tend to fill them up rather quickly with stuff I ‘need’ to carry, to the point that they are too heavy to carry. I’ve got an emergency bag in the back of my car, with first aid stuff, water filters, etc. my sling bag is too heavy, containing several loaded spare mags, a mag loader and a couple boxes of extra ammo. I guess one solution would be to leave a bag containing spare mags in the car, and then carry a very light sling bag back and forth? If you’re carrying a gun in your sling bag, I’d recommend you rehearse drawing it so you can learn to be quick at it.

How many firearms makers does this make that we have in Tennessee now? Anyone know?

The similarity is that there is a question if hamas or similar terrorists are coming in through our southern border.

Good. Bearing in mind what Jews have gone through in the past in many parts of the world, American Jews political beliefs as a group have always surprised me. Good to see that starting to change, though I hate the reason.

Thats true, depending on where they go. If they are a little smart they will pick unarmed targets. I guess once that starts happening, we'll see just how anti gun the anti gunners are.

I fear its coming here, and soon. 9/11 was bad enough, but it will be worse when people in the heartland are afraid to even go out.

Agree. And I want us out of Ukraine as well.

Agree, but I want to provide any and all aid to Israel towards this end. If we can provide untold amounts of aid to a corrupt Ukraine, we can help Israel. Im think the Gaza strip should cease to exist as it has in the past.

Pure evil is everywhere, but Hamas and others like it are even more so.

Have you checked with the Goodlettsville Gun Shop? I got mine there a few months ago at a good price.

I seem to remember that Israel was willing to accept a 2 state solution as long as it included recognition of Israel as a State with a right to exist. Also seems like this was the main sticking point with the rest of them. Is my memory faulty? Whoever above mentioned the mullahs in Iran hit the nail on the head for sure. There's no doubt in my mind that Iran orchestrated this to destabilize the middle east. They knew that when it comes right down to it, regardless of which branch of Islam a country is, they'll all be afraid of siding with Israel against another Muslim country. That's why Saddam target Israel during the first Gulf war, when Israel wasn't even a player. He knew that if Israel joined in, the rest of the Islamic countries would bail and the coalition would fall apart.

I was too! We were told we were going.

I am a little. But then, I pay almost all my bills electroniccally, my paychecks are deposited electronically, and I send money to my kids via Venmo, Cashapp and Paypal, lol.

I've got an old friend in Okawville, Illinois and he said his have already left for the winter.

I also feel your pain, some. I live in the Davidson County side of Goodlettsvile and we were redistricted last year. While this helped get rid of liberal Dem Jim Cooper, which was good, it made my home fall in Rep John Rose district. While he seems ok, and at least he’s a GOP member, his base area has little in common with this area, so I feel like I’m still not represented. My state rep is Vincent Dixie and state sen is Heidi Campbell, both liberal Dems.

Just curious as to magazine capacity on both the flush fit as well as extended mags, is it 15band 17?

Is the lower polymer or aluminum?

Are we still good on AR pistol braces for now?

What’s the current status of the ATF pistol brace ban?

Anyone used these or know anyone who has? I cant find a safe to fit in my center console and i dislike the lockbox with cable i currrently use. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=AT2478TD37GLJA20ZZkQoolhUqqvdv9iDQBvChTXNqoj-8wMtwF68v-5bwC7J87fQs5kGV8Xpu462tbwo2Bnvnxt_RwX-0GflzQHpjOFR75Lg6I8WE7OWdwHvHcO8m9vCmCMmxtls21ANcMEnQ2R78MddBvdPkBp4m7AFsltbVt8SM_olHOFNN6uqnZfC14E7rYGuX-IGh9gHWsSjdaD7AunF7C02Aa89e-j69K1i3g9fj8akMSUVXkQiHnpmr1qeMng5cwq7KdRBZp0Sq3J-4MHVxuBG2iNT9tDyfkxvTTozFbHMFaIFNPYhDp9k60Q&h=AT0V2A52LfLnkIF_NP0uKuuTVN5FTc-pSR5gZnibpd5ch6uV9enLTSoNJysQkFcqPtIjSzeCpb0YVtzRC2haBOmNV4W5QdxID_u_Pxuv1QfcAkm3GKVw65ovh4qZ_ocyb5kV5nY3F6h-tWh6zmW2&__cft__[0]=AZWqZoNYd_1NB3h-yRKcttJ7wPw5LGS8FgD1RwDsNC7Hud1RR766tBiZGuoPyquSEynF30zCDJiJV11pxrlABqzCQdZJQZCezSmroydg4mpUBmP3OG4XxVkPl_bN-s6dF_0u22reAU4UkYf1pZC7eUBE4fCYvVZKXcfAjjkusllLyyMyxkjrzR4Gq1XzIEEIyacnlBUBJiSJzw-GHgKgOmhkcl03utk7oXB4A5LfMGPOZwjh8rI9CdnRbovyTnRKJQRGReceok-vnjvIJrwZUS6R16TXpSTNWlXwqUM2AzjNXRkzaYJ6uJvtXJ3Eg5k65wU&__tn__=H-R

Probably very few of us really need the speed of an auto, i think. The fact that they were illegal for ages made them attractive I think. Personally, I definitely did not want or need a dang safety, at least until I cut myself, that is, LOL.

Yeah, it’s kinda funny, I don’t like guns with safeties much, but do like safeties a lot on auto knives.

Reading this thread made me realize a bunch of errors in my post, so I went back and corrected. Apologies to anyone that read the original post and thought I was an idiot. I may well be, but I fixed the errors. After the Adamas opened in my pocket, unknown to me, and I sliced my palm open, I decided no more big sharp knives in my pocket without a safety. Hence, the Gerber 06 (with a safety) I carry now, clipped to my pocket. It's not like I carry the knife as a quick draw defense weapon. The exception I'm making right now is I also carry the little Kershaw Launch 4 loose in my pocket. I may look at clipping that somewhere too. Like MacGyver said above, safeties are the way to go with a knife in the pocket. My Adamas opened due to me somehow pushing the button with either my clothes or something brushing hard against it, not while using it.

I’ve got a few good knives, I’m no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but here’s my 2 cents worth. I’ve got 2 Protech auto knives, and I like them, but overall, I think you can achieve similar quality for less money. I’ve got a Benchmade Adamas with an 3.82 inch blade, and it is probably my favorite pocket knife. It’s built like a tank, and you could probably chop wood with it, LOL. It opened in my pocket once though, and I’m kinda leery of carrying now so it’s on my go bag. I’ve got a Gerber 06 auto with a safety, and this is my EDC now. Not too heavy, holds an edge and opens with a snap. I like it. I think it’s 3.8 blade length. I also have a little Kershaw Launch 4 auto with 1.9 inch blade, which is also my EDC. I have 3 Gerber sheath knives, in addition to the folder above, and I love them. So yes, if you can afford them, I think they’re worth the price, especially if you look on here for someone selling one. But having said that, I’ve carried knives ever since I was a little boy, and you don’t have to spend Benchmade money on a good knife
