  1. One of the guys I taught to shoot has hi points, much against my advise. I shot his and it shoots good if you really take your time on the bang switch. But it's not a "self defense" weapon in our definition. Tossed in the drawer for a Saturday Night Special against a break in........... I'll give it that.

  2. In TX you can use deadly force to protect property...you can even use deadly force to protect a 3rd persons property in TX.

    So simply put...Yes, the law is different from state to state.

    So No...it doesn't greatly surprise me that that is the law in SC.

    As far as "Police Powers" citizens of the state of TN have "almost" the same powers of arrest that a LEO does, whether the person has a HCP or not.

    May have been asked and I missed it. How would this extend to citizen carry of handcuffs? Usually you see the line about power of arrest and authority to arrest being the reason for police only use of handcuffs. Thought it was in interesting question to think about.

  3. I forgot to mention, IDPA was started by Bill Wilson (WILSON pistols).

    I doubt he would put in any rules that would disadvantage 1911 shooters.

    I remember they changed the rules when Sig 45s were beating 1911 pattern guns. From what I read most "gamers" drink the 40 kool aid now.

    They call this "Mischief At Night" in Texas. Talk about a common sense gun law!

  5. Walker Springs and Turkey Creek are the only two WM's of the many in this area that do not sell guns. Ammo yes, but no guns.

    The Wally World in Athens sells guns and the one in Lenior City has guns I think.

    Not that it helps the OP but most times you get better deals at Gunshops.

  6. Mmmm.....I think the posting requirement pot should remain un-stirred. I doubt further regulations/requirements would have any beneficial impact on the HCP holder.

    Just my opinion.

    Be better to have them make the signs where you can actually see them as you go in without searching for it than getting jammed up because you missed the tenny tiny wittle bitty gun buster sign.
