I'd be willing to bet that one year from today there will not be a single teacher in a public school in Tennessee that is carrying as a result of this bill.
Even if you're all in on this - this bill seems remarkably poorly designed.
I think you are right, Mac. Such stipulations are pretty heavy for those in the teaching profession. JMO.
Not sure if accurate here...but this afternoon Brian Wilson on WTN referenced the requirements of the bill. During it, he said those teachers who might go thru the process would be required to wear a uniform similar to the LEO since they had to get certified from the Training Academy.
I believe this is wrong on his part, but not completely sure. I couldn't get thru to question him about the comment.
But I think that would be a self-defeating requirement if so. The point of this bill is to have reliable, trained people carrying. But not openly or in uniform I would hope. Such a thing would just make the person a first-priorty target and defeat the purpose of the measure.

Welcome to my Nightmare! LOL! You ain't alone son! This place can be a booger!
But you'll come to love it and spend all your waking moments here for fear of missing something!
Good to have you here!

One gun in the hands of someone who knows how to shoot & isn't afraid to approach the shooter can save lives.
I believe these shooters are cowards & someone returning fire will stop their advance & probably turn tail & run.
JMHO.
I think that's the reason so many of them ( Active Shooters...oh how I hate this term) seem to take their own lives before being caught. Perhaps if one were taken alive and fully procecuted, it might deter this sort of thing happening. But probably not. The type of person who does this is usually angry about something. And thinking that drawing attention to themselves and their beliefs will cure all the world's problems and we'll all go raise beautiful, sweet smelling flowers.
To this I say...Bah Humbug!! Live in the world. If you don't like your world, then work to help it.
Not destroy it and kill innocents.

Personally, I like this. Since the state would not hire SROs for every school...this is the viable alternative. BTW, I still feel that an SRO should be in schools. And would like to further the idea of hiring vets for the positions. JMO

What kind of party is someone having where they'll be watching their guests sit on the toilet?
70's Frat Party! Ah...those were some strange and fun times! LOL! I remember my date and I getting thrown out into the snow during a 'Bama for rooting for the opposing team.
Another time, as the party was winding down around 2 am, some of us were standing in the kitchen of "the house" watching our own personal "Animal" entertain some girls as he demonstrated a masterbation scene! Using his throat! Head tilted back and rubbing his adams apple up and down. He simulated an ending by spitting in the air several times.
Meanwhile...my date, and several other gals just stood there with amazed looks on their faces!
Yes...those were the days. Archie and Edith should be singing in the background for this. LOL!

Seen the first Hummingbird today. Put my feeders out. Hope they don't freeze tonight.
No sign of any here in East Nashville yet. Plenty of Crows though.

Just traded into a S&W Performance Center 1911 and wondering what brand mags people prefer? Google fetches a million opinions, but I generally trust the knowledge base here more than the average forum. And do you have a preference where you order from or know of a place that regularly runs good deals on them?
That's a gorgeous Smith! Wanted one of that model for a long while...but I've been too cheap to buy one. Also get sidetracked by other things!

My default mags are MecGar. I have some McCormick Shooting Stars as well, and they have been reliable. I've got a couple of Wilson mags, but don't see that they work any better than the MecGar. They are prettier, though!
Glad to hear your comment on MecGar mags. Been thinking of some 9mm and looking at them for a source..

Wilson 47D.Buy once,cry once.
Wilson or McCormick would be my choice in 1911 mags. Have a few from the Israeli source and some from Rock Island. No problems with them either.
As AlleyCat does...I have a few Korean War era that my Dad brought back too. I hadn't thought about them for quite a while though. Always seem to grab the Wilson.

So...what's the general feeling here guys? Do you feel we are totally Fubar at this point?
I have been considering renting a table at a local show and attempting to sell off some things. Is this still a viable option?

Wifey came up with a question. She wants the T-shirt without the back imprinting...only the logo on the left breast.
What do you think of this? Maybe a different front pattern? Just something near the logo size?

I love the 60's & early 70 Muscle. I wish the owners would put the correct original rims & tires on them. A set of Crager mags are good for original replacement. JMHO.
Yes!! Some of the rims put on great cars today just make me sick!

An "I was there" moment. This is the most angry, formidable looking muscle car ever. If you've never had this roll up behind you on a two lane you can't understand. Had a customer when I delivered newspapers as a kid who had a Plum Crazy with white top, stripes, interior, 440 4 speed Coronet R/T and been in lust ever since. Same year Super Bee is near tie for second place on my wish list.
Agreed! Mopar and Corvette fan mostly, but haven't had a nice car since the late 70s.
Loved the Charger R/T, GTX, and RoadRunners. My best Mopar was a 1970 Lemon Twist Yellow 383 Barracuda. No badging on it. Sneaky little sucker!

As a poor, diehard muscle car lover of all makes and models...I must say that it would be hard to find a sleeker, sexier car than the GTO of 66/67! Ragtop or hardtop...gorgeous vehicles!!
And this is a great example of this beautiful machine!

What brand and where to buy 1911 mags?
in Handguns
Posted
Greg Cote, LLC has a sale on now for some hard to find mags. Among the listing is 10 round MecGar mags at 21.95 Pretty good price I think for them. I'm ordering a couple myself.
