  1. Just e-mailed NRA a copy of the article along with my comments.  As a life member my dues aren't at risk but my donations sure are.  I fully support our right to carry open or concealed as allowed by the laws but I can't support deliberate confrontations with companies and individuals that were, at least tolerant and at best supportive of these rights.  I don't agree with the Texas law but it's their state and their laws.  I can't see any upside to NRA pandering to this and spreading the negative perceptions nationwide.

  2. I still "smell" something fishy.  It's interesting how the liberal press/video cameras/anti-groups etc. always seem to be at exactly the right place at exactly the right time to cover the reactions of the "terrified"  citizens offended by these clowns.  Seems like there's a high potential for a false flag operation involved.

  3. Makes me wonder which side of the issue the "gun owners" were really supporting.   It doesn't take a genius to know that carrying any long gun into a restaurant in Dallas will cause a high profile reaction, particularly if you have it well planned.   I see a lot of potential "news value" for the anti-gun folks if they staged this.  I can't see much upside for a pro-open carry event at a business that already allows firearms on the property.

  4. 1pointofview, before you make a decision, check out the earth coupled heat pumps.  They cost significantly more initially than the air exchange types but are much more efficient.  I know a guy that has that system and claims to be running an electric bill of less than $250/mo total for 7,000 sq ft.  It's new construction with high efficiency everything but that's still pretty impressive.  I installed Trane high efficiency combo units (propane furnace for heat/electric AC) but wish I'd looked harder at the earth coupled heat pumps.  The Trane units are very good.  There's so little heat being wasted through the vent that they piped with PVC vent pipe.

     

    When you build consider 2x6 studs on the outer walls with the blown cellulose insulation and a very careful application of house wrap (tape the seams, around the windows, etc.)  Also, high efficiency windows (double pane with the metallic coating and filled with argon).  We did those things and the difference is huge.  Right now at 9 degrees outside I can stand by a window and it just feels slightly cool.  No drafts anywhere either.  Which ever heat/AC system you chose the quality of construction/insulation will make a big difference.

  5. The OP shows a "northern Indiana" location.  HCP regulations vary widely by state.  The law there is not the law in Tennessee.  I'm not aware of any requirements, except for the initial background check, etc. when buying through an FFL or Class 3 items, to "register" any gun in Tennessee. Like Nightrunner said, you see a lot of .22 target pistols used to qualify.

    I haven't stopped by in a couple of weeks.  At that time they expected to have the range (25 yd. archery & 25 yd. pistol, rifles to 30 cal.) and the simulator open in mid to late February.  They are still doing a lot of remodeling on the building and their early inventory was somewhat limited but they said they are getting shipments almost daily.  They also said that they had not planned to open this quick but when they started construction lot of people were stopping by and asking "when?" so they opened the doors. 

     

    FYI - I'm not affiliated w/the business - just excited to have a local store and indoor range! 

  7. Jeff, thanks to you, all of CMT Tactical's people and the TGO staff that made this possible.  I'll definitely be contacting your for more parts when I start to build.. I've also told others about CMT and what you have done for the "local folks".  Should generate some future business because they like having a Tennessee based high quality manufacturer.
