Just saw an add for the 2024 tour. My wife asked if these old guys were actually still touring.
What can you say? These guys seem to have a longevity pact with the Devil!

Doing questionably stupid things is not restricted to the young! I have done a bunch. Some recently.
No...I'm not going to list them. Much too embarassing.
Just glad all is well with the eyes. No loss if you had gotten the Orange Tee! LOL!

That's a very good price-
Extremely tempting!!! I'd be prone to shoot 40 in it though. Have a bunch of 40, but no Big 10.
Wish it were the upgraded version though. Maybe anyway. lol

The Govenor signed the bill today. Will be law soon.
However, Williamson, Davidson, Robertson(?) Counties have already said "No" to Armed Teachers in their schools. So all the hoopla was for naught.

That's a beauty! I learned some of my meager shooting skills on one of these. Even back then...almost 60 years ago...I couldn't shoot worth shinola! but that didn't ake the fun out of it.
These were virtual "tack drivers" and are great pistols. The seller is pretty good too. lol.
You can spend much more on a 22 and not do appreciably better than this for a first-time shooter, back yard plinker, or a squirrel snuffer.
GLWS my friend.

Nothing in the text of the bill stipulates that, but there is also nothing that would prevent something like that being a local policy.
Referencing my second-hand comment on uniforms for Armed Teachers...I am in agreement with you. I don't think it's a good idea. As far as the armed/carrying teacher, well I do like the idea.
BUT, all the comments made here so fa indicate thatmost educators seem to feel the threat/risk of open or concealed carry in a classrom is a bad idea. I can see several scenerios where something could go fubar in a split second. Especially with the kids in many of the school systems today.
So, like you say...probably not much chance of armed tearchers anytime soon.
I still believe the SRO concept is the best and most viable method of providing safer schools and protection from most all forms of "bad actors" in schools.
I really don't understand why so much emphasis is place o the armed teachers when this option is available. Seems like a no-brainer to me. JMO

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.

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!

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.
