With Kirsten Dunst in it, you can bet it will be a 2-ton boulder of agenda hitting you over the head.
I don’t know anything about her, but I rarely turn on the TV and keep up with actors even less. I’ll watch it sooner or later and if the agenda if too in-your-face, I’ll turn it off. It wouldn’t be the first time.
On the other hand, if it starred Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, and Rosie O’Donnell, I wouldn’t even turn it on.-

I’m not looking for an agenda in the movie. I hope others aren’t either. I’m simply hoping to enjoy what looks to be an exciting action movie. It’s sad people deprive themselves of small pleasures because of political affiliations. Must be stressful being them.
Nowadays nobody has to look for an agenda. We are hit over the head with it.

This is Pascal. My daughter named him after Rapunzel’s lizard in the Disney movie Tangled. Pascal is 12 years old, weighs six pounds, and has no teeth, but he thinks he is a wolverine.
This is Cody. We lost him in February. He had 8 or 10 pounds on Pascal, but had a much better disposition. He always looked like he was smiling.
This is our other dog, Teddy. Teddy is actually a cat, but may have more dog DNA than Pascal. Teddy is the friendliest pet we’ve ever had.

This thread was more about satisfying my curiosity than anything else. Those questions just came to mind when I thought about the possibility of getting one. I don't currently own a gun that a micro red dot can be mounted on. Not sure if I wanna spend the money or cut up one of my current pistols either.
I do have a Buckmark with an old Burris Fast Fire II on it. Honestly, every time I shoot it, I end up searching for the dot.
I have 2011, CZ, and Glock platforms with red dots mounted if you want to try them out sometime.

Almost everyone I know or have heard that put real time and effort into shooting pistol dots say it made them a better shooter with irons.
They made me a better irons shooter because I learned to shoot more target focused. The idea that you always have to focus on the front sight and therefore can’t pay attention to what the target is doing is becoming Fudd lore.

I’ve always been a Dallas fan, but I was at a Titans-Jags game back in 2000 or so that was a hoot. Tennessee was destroying Jacksonville and two piss drunk guys kept yelling ”WHO’S YO DADDY!” every time the Titans did something good. Once one of them said “WYCHECK’S My DADDY!” I was in full approval because I had Wycheck on a fantasy football team at the time.

I recently bought a Daisy 880 after my old Crosman 760 bit the dust. I wanted another 760, but the new ones are smoothbore and just look like junk. When handling it, the 880 screams cheap, but it shoots well.

I saw the video on the AM Memphis news of the guy openly carrying the SBR/Pistol (AR configuration) and I thought, "He is probably the most logical person in Memphis considering the rampant crime & violence perpetrated there by criminals who have no fear of the cops or courts."
But...he obviously freaked people out. Why? School shooters? Mentally unbalanced whackos that go off their meds & randomly shoot people & things? Michael Douglas in "Falling Down" type situation? (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Down )
The thing is, Memphis is ridiculous with violent crime. How does one protect themselves there? Bulletproof vest & a security detail? Carrying an AR everywhere you go? Maybe the guy starts a conversation that needs to be had. We are having it & it's interesting to me.
We carry guns & think that is fine. This guy did, too. But his was bigger & out in the open...and somehow that's not fine? And I get it! It is weird what he did. If we could all just have halos over our heads that told the world who we were ("good guy", "bad guy", "crazy guy", "oblivious guy") then we could know if the AR carrying dude was an issue or not.
The problem is bad people that abuse the rights we all want to enjoy. When a school shooter walks into a grade school with an AR, we want someone to confront & stop them. But when Bob the construction guy carries an AR into the Memphis Lowes to get some caulk b4 heading to the job site, we want to be okay with that because this is America & Bob is a good dude & should - in theory - be able to exercise his 2nd amendment right if he so chooses.
But concealed carry is just so much better in society. We have defensive means at our disposal BUT we aren't freaking everyone around us out. That's a win-win. I've been in parts of rural Colorado where people open-carry & it's just normal there. No one freaks out. But it is a different place than mid-town Memphis. Situational awareness is a thing for a reason.
My stand? Carry a gun in Memphis, but do so concealed. You aren't in rural Colorado, you aren't a rancher, you aren't hunting deer. Save the open AR carry for Fallujah. (Sadly, Memphis is closer to Fallujah than we like these days.)
The guy was carrying it in a semi-ready position. If he had had it slung over his shoulder, it probably wouldn’t have made much difference to a Midtown snowflake, but to me it would look more like a heavily armed guy just going about his business. Either way, discretion is almost always more prudent, especially with the Soros woketard DA Shelby County elected last year.

We have run that bill a number of times and will again this year, you are up against the Chamber of Commerce on it. You know, the ones who spend the most money every year buying politicians.
They couch their adversarial stance in Private Property rights, but that is a scurrilous argument as the Federal Government says any place that hangs out a sign and invites the public in is a public conveyance.
We have two separate TN Supreme Court cases that say off duty police officers are simply citizens, and if they can carry past signs why not enhanced permit holders at least. (that would make the state money). But no, the Chamber and its whores refuse to allow you top protect yourself while making them rich.I truly appreciate the work you do and the time you spend in Nashville. I think the average gun toting, law abiding citizen would benefit from decriminalizing posted locations a lot more than we would from long gun carry. I do hope (hesitantly) that long carry will pass, if for no other reason that in the gun rights legislation world, the best defense is a good offense.

Whether the laws are new or previously existing, they must all be judged by the same standards of constitutionality and respect for the individual’s rights.
I have a position based on principles. It’s not based utilitarian ideas of how I think undesirables should be best controlled.
And I agree with you, but I am realistic about the repercussions.

Really, you don't think West Memphis, AK runs in Memphis, TN?
I think if it does pass, nothing good will happen as a result around here. I think a better issue to spend time and energy and political capital on is decriminalizing carrying past a no guns sign.

You’re obviously not seeing the same video clips I am.
The reasoning you’re using however is the same reasoning Brady and Everytown use for the laws they want. “If we don’t make a law against _______, then bad people will take advantage of a right and do bad things.”
So if I understand you correctly, the position you’re advocating here isn’t disagreeing with folks like Bloomberg and Shannon Watts on principle. It’s merely quibbling over the details.
That’s funny. Deerslayer the gun grabber. I figured somebody would bring out the “blood in the streets” analogy. Nice try. Actually it’s the opposite of what you claim. I am not advocating for any new laws. I do have mixed feelings about changing a couple existing ones, though. For the record, I hope it eventually passes and I hope nobody knows anything about it when it does. But you’re kidding yourself if you think malcontents (of which Memphis has a large surplus) won’t take note and adjust their habits accordingly.

It is lawful in Arkansas and Mississippi, see anything on the news about gangsters doing it there? And in 40 other states.
No, but Memphis gangsters don’t live there.

Shame, condemnation, and exclusion from community are all reasonable methods of ensuring that respect for societal norms is maintained.
If long gun carry is passed, do you think shame and condemnation will change the behavior of Memphis gangbangers who will inevitably start flaunting their AKs everywhere they go?

If it's an AR pistol does it not fall under handgun regulation? In which case, it wouldn't have mattered if the chamber was loaded, because it is a handgun.
I think that’s why there were no charges, but the news is saying the guy was walking around with a rifle. Misinformation rules again.

Agreed. I know CZ has done layoffs here in the states in the past. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again.
They make a great product, but they just don't advertise their stuff very well. I mean, is there anyone who just hates the CZ-75?? I've never met them.
CZ has been a little wobbly since Colt bought them. I know a couple people who recently left the company.

Spot on about everyone loving their nearly 50 year old pistol design. It's working for 1911s, why not CZ-75 variants. I think that's what's keeping their pistol business alive. Sadly, a lot of new shooters only want polymer striker fired handguns and CZ's attempt at that flopped really bad.
What's wrong with the P10? They hold their own in the competitive world and I know several people who carry a P10C.

The current generation of midtown weirdos are something else but residents of the area never have gone around in whatever “state of readiness” that has been displayed here.
47 minutes ago, DonK said:Legal or not, it makes other gun owners look bad and only pushes anti-gun movement legislation. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Agreed. There is a push to legalize carrying long guns, but I think it would rarely be prudent to do so. Discretion is the better part of valor, or however the saying goes.

I’ve been keeping up with this since yesterday when the Memphis Reddit hysterics started loosing their minds.
No, I do not have a Reddit account or participate but it’s free to look.
Since I am in fact from midtown I kinda keep up with what’s going on down there.
Dude was not carrying a rifle as is obvious in the pics. It’s clearly a “pistol” but of course it is not being reported or discussed that way. He also might just be a spaz.
https://wreg.com/news/local/memphis-is-a-dangerous-place-man-with-rifle-on-street-tells-police/
But now leftist media is melting down because they think he was walking around with an “assault weapon.” It’s not clear if he was too close to a school, but he otherwise did nothing illegal. However, he is getting more attention than those who actually shot someone and were released without bail.

Police looked into it. Found that there was nothing illegal about it. By law, you can indeed walk around with a rifle.
Not loaded

Anybody know more about this? The news said he was carrying a rifle, but the pics look like an AR pistol. Rifle or pistol, it looked like a lousy idea.
