Yea they definitely know how to waste money. I wish they would abolish the Metro Government and go back to a original County and City.

Murfreesboro Roadblock off 840
Pain103 replied to Kenstaroni's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Just so you all know they are sobriety checkpoints in Tennessee. There is no legal basis that you even have to lower the window and converse with anybody as far as I know. Maybe one of our criminal defense attorneys on board can advise you better. I have always been instructed they pull up if you don't notice in immediate signs of impairment you send them packing quick and fast. Now if THP is involved they will do license checks. I have done the checkpoints and I'll tell you we were full up on drunks. There is no real monetary gain from a checkpoint. The very small portion of any fines that "may" go back to a general fund is less than what that one officer makes in one hour. Most checkpoints I have seen were usually in part of a grant so there wasn't any real loss on behalf of the local government funds. -
Interesting situation this evening

+1 on practicing on drawing your weapon while seated. If anybody pulls up to my car my gun is already out of the holster. Luckily I do it so much that I can get it from my duty holster while seated in the car with no problems. I also recommend practicing as if your in a restaurant we did that a few years back during inservice training and it was good stuff. I would say they were looking to rob somebody but luckily it wasn't you. -

By your opinion I can tell you have no clue how revenue is input into government operations. If you think a sobriety checkpoint generates even enough revenue to pay for itself you would completely wrong. You would be wrong also to think there aren't officers who are concerned about getting impaired drivers off the street. But you as everyone else is entitled to your opinion regardless of how one sided it is. Have a nice day. -
With it being a very delayed report from time of incident to report Metro will probably have you call their teleserv reporting number. Just give the civilian reporter all the information you have and the serial numbers so it can be entered as stolen. The only way you will get it back is if it's entered stolen so it can eventually be returned to you if it's ever ran by serial number.

What are you plans for Christmas? Doing anything special?
Pain103 replied to mav's topic in General Chat
I'm working all weekend and hoping the drunks stay at home and be quiet. But I'm not counting on it. -
The attorney general won't issue an opinion from a question raised by a citizen. Might be better if you know someone personally who is in the state legislature who wants the answers also to formally ask for his opinion. Good questions though and would be useful for people to know. Taken form the AG website... Who may request an opinion from the Attorney General? The Attorney General is required to provide written legal opinions to "the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, comptroller of the treasury, members of the general assembly and other state officials...in the discharge of their official duties." Tenn. Code Ann. § 8-6-109 ( (6). The Attorney General cannot issue opinions to county or local government officials or to private citizens.

Uh don't shoot yourself..maybe I don't know what rules you are referring to. If you're legal to be on that property shooting then you're good. Certain cities don't allow shooting firearms in the city limits. Make sure you got a good backstop.

The streamlight strion is great light. Like a streamlight stinger but much smaller and just as bright.

Not saying it wouldn't considered a residence for the sake of self defense but it has wheels and is easily mobile unless permanent it falls under the exemption for automobiles for a search with only probable cause and no search warrant. At least that's how it was back when I went through interdiction school. The only reason I bring that up is since we probably don't have any case law, that I personally know of, in regards to firearm possession inside a mobile camper where such camper may be in a posted property. I'm just throwing that out there for you but realistically you would probably be good. I also am not familiar with the land so it may not even be an issue to start with. I could be wrong and hopefully I am because I would hate for somebody to be the test case and lose their HCP for something silly.

A camper isn't considered a residence unless permanently affixed.

Door to Door Preparedness Checks in Davidson County?
Pain103 replied to Kenstaroni's topic in General Chat
I didn't get a knock on the door. If I had they would have been told to kick rocks. I could understand a mailout survey but I don't like strangers near my house. Plus I sleep during the day so I definitely would have been ill. -
Go ahead an spend the money. Most detectors don't pick up quick enough if a good radar or lidar operator is working the speed measuring device. I just like turning off and on near people with detectors to drive them crazy with the noise.

Yep they have been aware of the issue for several years. At MEPS they check for tattoos but you know some don't really care what the tattoo is and some gangs get people without tats to enlist.

Carry and accident, what happened?

Yes you get your bullets too, but you can reload your magazine yourself. -
Carry and accident, what happened?
Pain103 replied to zenman's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
This has already been posted but it is a good question. What I do and have done is secure your weapon in my department's armory. When you are able to come get your firearm you sign on the property form saying it is released to you and that's it. If for some reason it makes it to the hospital with you security will typically secure it in a safe for you. -

That's great. Occupy a hairnet and a name tag and pay some taxes.

What about on target in Murfreesboro? I have shot my ar15 there before but couldn't hurt to ask if they allow that caliber.

Going to the Range, what do you shoot first?
Pain103 replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I use only range ammo for the range. Unless we are shooting duty ammo to replace it with new duty ammo. Your self defense or duty ammo should be fine but if it makes you feel more comfortable popping off a few rounds just to put your mind at east that the ammo is good then do it. -
Magazine Loading -- First Round FMJ Followed by JHP?
Pain103 replied to xRUSTYx's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I wouldn't do that. A decent caliber round is going to pierce vehicle glass, doors, and whatnot. Look at bonded rounds if your worried about penetration. -
Have the looks of the HCP changed?
Pain103 replied to BlackHawk93's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Licenses changed almost a year ago. Everything newly issued should be that design. The mostly white license with light blue skyline of batman building and the memphis pyramid. -
Is there fear of serious bodily injury or death from a bat and a knife? You better believe it. You are not defending your property but your life. In a perfect world you could safely drive away but you do what you have to do to go home.
