There is a ring tone that you may be able to put on your phone that can't be heard by adults. I thought it was crazy too, until my son demonstrated it and I saw that it really works. Apparently kids use it so that teachers don't hear their cell phones when they ring during class.
I'm sure you could find more info on Google. My thought was set that up as her ring-tone, and you'll never hear the phone ring.
As an extra bonus, if you have kids, the constant ringing may drive them nuts.

Dang! I've been waiting 60 days as of yesterday, and still nothing. You must be living right!

I'm just about to start carrying (HCP due any day), and I've been wondering if putting your hand on your pistol and giving them a peek at it without actually drawing, is acceptable and legal.
I'd assume it's legal, because it's still holstered and at this point it is no different than open carrying. I guess it could be considered brandishing, but not sure.
Is there any tactical reason not to do this? Like, now they absolutely know you are carrying and could try to get the jump on you?
My mindset is, pull it out only if you really intend to use it.

I got my wife the Bersa .380. It's a nice gun, very concealable, and I think it shoots well. However, my wife can't shoot it very accurately. She does OK with my XD-9, but thought it had too much kick. I don't see much difference in the recoil myself. Also, teh mag only hold 7, so she is always reloading. For the price of the gun, you can't go wrong, especially for a backup or a glove-box gun. But the ammo price kills me. I get a box of 100 9mm for about $15, 100 .380's runs me $23.

1. This will hurt me more than it will hurt you!

Feels good to be able to carry legally, just hope Analog Kidd knows what it feels like too!
Gotta say I like that little extra "piece" of mind on my hip!
Only took about 30 days or so after I got printed.
Nope mine didn't come in today.
I did my paperwork and printing on Dec 6. FailureDrill did his paperwork that day too, but waited a week for the printing. Not sure why his came first.
I called on Monday to get an update, and the woman on the phone said that it had just been approved and was being sent for printing that day. She said to expect it in a week or two.
I have a theory that the applications all come in and get stacked up on someone's desk somewhere. When they get around to processing some, they pull from the top opf the stack, which are the most recent ones.
Oh well, it will be here soon. Then I too can make the initiation journey to Wally's place with the faint bulge on my hip.

Go to Google dot com and type in French military victories. Then click on the "I'm feeling lucky" tab. Enjoy!
OK, that's the funniest thing I've seen all week.
BTW, I'm a Network / Server Administrator

I've always wanted to do that. I almost bought a kayak to do some caches along the river here, but couldn't cough up the money for the kayak.
Bkelm18, I've got a basement full of kayaks. If you ever want to borrow one, let me know and I can hook you up.

Whitewater Kayaking. East TN is a Mecca of great rivers. Some of my favorites are the Tellico River, Little River in the Smokies near Townsend, most anything on the Plateau, and the newly opened Cheoah River in NC. (Been dammed for decades, but now being released on certian days). Mostly I stick to class IV stuff.
I also enjoy backpacking, camping, photography and Geocaching.

No later than January 1, 2011, all non-coded ammunition for the caliberslisted in this act, whether owned by private citizens or retail outlets, shall be disposed.
Now just how in the world do they expect to enforce this part? Are they going to come to my house and collect all my old ammo?
"Uhh, yeah, about that old ammo, I shot it all up already. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Gimmie a break.

This guy is definitely one of the sheeple spouting his uninformed rhetoric. However, the next several postings are very well written and explain our side of the point very well.

I landed on the Springfield Armory SD-9 after a lot of researching for my first handgun last summer. I've been very happy with it. At $525 it definitely fits your budget. It came with a hard case, two magazines, holster, mag holster, and lock, but I think all that is pretty standard with most guns in your price range.

I can always be found with Pink Floyd nearby. I've always said if for some reason I had to choose one album as the only one I could ever listen to, it would be Pink Floyd - The Wall. I love that album!
I also am a huge Rush and Jethro Tull fan. I just recently discovered Govt. Mule. Can't believe I've been missing out on them all these years.
For some new stuff, I've been getting into Day of Fire. They are a Christian band that sounds a lot like Nickelback.

I agree, Phantom has a great class. I took his Carry Class in November. Very professional. Here is the link to his web page: http://firearmsclasses.com/

I got my wife one for Christmas. She's put a few hundred rounds through it so far, and not one problem. She loves the way it feels in her hand, and is prety accurate with it. Overall, she is very happy with it.

Substitute any state that has adopted reasonable carry laws for MI and the result will be the same.
And I wish to heck someone would outlaw the phrase "packing heat" in regard to legal CCW. Makes us sound like characters from a gangster movie.
I mean, what do you think would happen if you read a story about decreased homosexual activity in New Orleans that said "fewer residents of New Orleans are packing fudge these days"??
Great, now I have to wipe off the Mountain Dew from my monitor after reading this while drinking. That's just awesome!

Call me paranoid, but I have gotten into the habit of locking my doors ALL THE TIME just because of events like this.

get a cheapo uncle mikes neoprene type holster, use velcro tape (or a small screw through the holsters plastic clip) to the bottom, or back of the nightstand...
another thing you can try is securing it to the matress in between the headboard or wall (depending on your bed)...
I found a good use for the cheap plastic holster that came with my XD. I screwed it into the back of my closet door, a little higher than head level. It is very handy, but difficult to see. The closet is right next to the bedroom door, so if there is trouble, I can grab it and go.

I was just talking to one of the guys at Coal Creek Armory in Knoxville last week about this. I forget all the details, but I was very impressed at the system he described. They have several filtration systems, with each filter costing several hundreds of $$. He said that when they pull the filters every month or so, they find several pounds of lead in each one. I always thought they were a little pricey on their range time, but I guess this explains a little of it.

I've heard from couple people mention about the Norris Watershed...can you tell me what it is? Is it an outdoor range? Bring your own ammo/target? I hear that there's a one time fee of $25 for a year if you pay at the Norris PD? Do you get to keep the key for the year and give it back at the end of the year or how does it work exactly? Will the PD provide a map of where the Watershed range is at? Is it a gravel road to the range or a paved parking lot? Sorry for the many questions but just curious since its closer to me and its cheaper than Coal Creek. Thanks
Go to the Norris PD, pay $25, get a key that you get to keep. The year ends June 30, no matter when you pay. You can also pay $10 per day. Not such a good deal for a regular, but if you want to bring an out of town friend it's OK.
Also, EVERYONE on the range has to have paid. They don't care if it is your 100 year old grandma, who is blind and sitting in the car. If she is there, she needs a range permit.
The PD will give you a map if you ask for one. The road is paved most of the way, except for about the last mile or so. The gravel road is well maintained, I wouldn't hesitate driving the wife's car there.
They have two ranges. One is a pistol range with two backstops, the other is a rifle,range with 50, 100, and 200 yard backstops. There are covered pavillions for both ranges.
Skeet shooting is not alllowed. They don't like to have to pick up the mess.
It is a very nice range. Very pretty area.

I noticed last night the Shell gas station here in Oak Ridge had a few different selections. Of course I didn't go browse because I didn't want anyone thinking I was looking at the girly magazines.

Not a problem for me. I only use cash. Haven't owned one of those darn cards for years after paying it off. I do use a debit card sometimes, which comes out of my checking account. I wonder if Visa, who backs the debit card, could deny that transaction?

My wife's Chocolate phone did not do this when we had to call 911 due to an accident we witnessed recently...
strange...
Is your wife's phone an older model? Mine is the latest edition, and I got it about a month ago. The Verizon guy said that this is a new feature they are requiring on all new model phones.

Finally got into the HCP club
in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Posted
I never thought my HCP would get here, but it finally came in yesterday. Took exactly 2 months. I think it got slowed down due to the Christmas time holidays.
I'm just glad the waiting is over.
