  1. My purchases were about 15 years ago at a chain store.
  2. I would appreciate your views on the benefits of getting a carry permit. I have a vague idea that with a permit I'll be able to carry legally in more places and also have a more positive treatment with law enforcement and the legal system in the event that some relevant situation arises (including a simple traffic stop). But I also have some concern with being on a government list of probable gun owners.
  3. It seems that most of the debate and discussion I hear is about 1) whether the shooter's notes should be made public and 2) what was the nature, and origin, of the shooter's mental illness. While these are important questions, it is mostly the shared goal of prevention that makes them so. Perhaps a more important question, currently under-discussed, is How did this person's warning signs go unnoticed and/or unreported by all those who were in contact with her in the months, weeks, and days before the incident? Does such a disturbed person simply not arouse suspicion, or is there something in our society/community that hinders the reporting of it? Or hinders preventive intervention? There could be many varieties of mental/behavioral pathology that lead to mass violence. We may not be able to cure mental illness, but the problem of recognizing and responding to red flags needs some serious investigation (regardless of one's views on red-flag laws). I hope someone is interviewing the shooter's contacts to gain insight into this.
  4. This is a new issue for me. Perhaps you could point to an introduction to this restorative legislation movement. As encouraging as it was to see the passing of permitless carry, I suppose we are still vulnerable to the actions of future legislators. Is that what this idea aims to prevent?
  5. You got me. But it's a populous county, and there are lots of Glocks.
  6. Just joined. I value privacy, so I'm not going to say much about myself. I look forward to being able to discuss gun stuff with a local community, particularly matters of self defense and legality. I am glad we can now carry without a permit; ain't Tennessee great?
