Looks good!

I think anyone who generalizes how marketable a certain tech focus is hasn't interviewed many candidates lately and seen how many people throw technologies that they've had minimal exposure to on their resumes.  A true subject matter expert on something like VMware or Citrix is hard to find and they command big money.  I can offer myself as a case in point and I don't work for peanuts, and we've had a hell of a time finding good engineers with strong skill sets in their self-professed subject matter.  Some of the interviews that I've helped conduct lately nearly made me lose the desire to live.   Good luck on the Exchange hunt.  My company pays our Exchange guys so well that just about no one in the southeast can afford to hire them away.

I dislike Staples for a lot of reasons.  This just adds one more to the pile.

  This has zero to do with being able to carry there.  Tennessee does not acknowledge "bar" as a category.  It's simply a restaurant with a liquor license at that point and is still subject to the same requirement that it be posted as anti-carry if the owners intend for you to be there unarmed.

This problem seems to plague the Gen 4 Glocks regardless of whether they are early or current manufacture.  I'd be sending it back to them.  

Have traveled through Kansas armed and no worries.

Nice.  :)

Just catching up on threads but... NICE!  :D

Beautiful rifle.  Congrats, Mike!

Looks like next season, Steve... but we'll get together on this.  :)

  It's not worth opening ourselves to the lawsuit that would invariably arise from raising questions about their character.  We'll just skip that and move on to locating a better source.

I hope you guys are only pretending to miss the importance of what Mac posted.  :)

This is quite simply why I hardly go to the range anymore, forsaking it for shooting on private property when I'm able.    I will say this too:   With the Great Gun Rush of 2013 thanks to Obama and his army of assclowns, we now have firearms in the hands of people who have never so much as thought about holding a gun before, let alone any practical instruction on how to safely use them  These people are going to be everywhere and some of them will handle their handguns with all of the care and skill of mentally handicapped monkeys trying to open a box of cornflakes with a claw hammer.   Be vigilant when you're at the range.  VERY vigilant.

So far it doesn't seem to me like it's gotten much traction after the initial media fracas.  The people have too short of an attention span.

TN's permit is not a concealment permit.  It is a carry permit.  Some states get worked up about what you're describing but TN doesn't.

I've noticed the mosquitos are out in full force, likely thanks to all of the standing water we have lingering from the recent rains.  Awesome.  :mad:  

Who has two thumbs and f'ing hates spiders?   THIS guy.

I have no reason to lock or delete this thread whether they complain or not.  Like I said, people are allowed by law to voice their opinion of people, businesses, etc.  It just never fails that someone who doesn't understand the legal definition of libel or slander will always scream about them being libeled or slandered and try to bully a reaction out of me.   I don't have the patience required to be a lawyer.  My first impulse when people are being asshats it to reach out and slap the piss out of them.  Lawyers are a little more tactful.

I'm just saying it's happened numerous times in the past and I dread it every time it does.  I think that customers should be savvy and know when a business provides less than acceptable customer service, so don't get me wrong here.  I'm just saying these threads almost always result in some junior lawyer wannabe sending me an email telling me they're going to sue me or TGO because of what someone else posted on this site about their business.  Libel, slander, etc.   None of which is even remotely applicable because people are allowed to have opinions and are allowed to share them like this, but it never stops the guy who thinks his childhood spent watching The People's Court from thinking that makes him a lawyer and sending stupid emails.   Sorry to vent.  Just a glimpse inside my world I suppose.   :)

I wonder how long before they sign up here and raise hell about this thread.

If you're the kind of person who likes attention, good or bad, then open carry.  If you're the kind of person who prefers that people leave you the hell alone, conceal.

Welcome.  There's a lot of us here in Smyrna apparently.

Glad to have you with us.

Welcome

I picked up some of the Old Weller 107 this past Thursday and was absolutely blown away by the quality for the price.  That's going to become a mainstay in my cabinet.
