:screwy:NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A man carrying an AK-47-style semiautomatic pistol was detained at Radnor Lake State Parkafter startled hikers complained to park rangers. Ellen Thomas said she was hiking an upper trail on Sunday when she encountered 37-year-old Leonard Embody wearing a camouflage jacket, military boots and a black skull cap. She called the encounter "scary." State Department of Environment and Conservation spokeswoman Tisha Calabrese-Benton said Embody was detained by park police because his weapon looked like a rifle. After the gun was secured and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives personnel were called, Embody was released without charges because he has a handgun carry permit. Calabrese-Benton said state attorneys are still investigating whether the AK-47-style pistol is legal to carry as a handgun. No phone number was listed for Embody. The state legislature passed a law earlier this year allowing people with handgun permits to carry their weapons in parks. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

I am a retard!! I kept putting off renewing my HCP until today. It expired yesterday and i figured that i would go in and pay the $50 and they would spit out a new one. Was i wrong. The woman made me feal like a criminal and had a THP officer come and make me surrender my old permit. Now I have to wait 60 to 90 days to get my new one in the mail. It was almost embarrassing. I would have understood if it was a month expired but one day? Oh well it is my fault and i have to deal with it. She also told me that i had no choice but to get a new picture because the state was starting a new facial reconization system and i asked if the DL's will also be in it and she said it was only for HCP holders. To me it seems they would do the DL's because almost everyone has one and any with a HCP has a DL. Oh well like i said it is one of those little lessons i have learned in my 32 years and thought i would pass it on.
