300 shots fired and 8 hits!? That's not good, even for untrained thugs.
However, it's better than the results than in the officer acorn shooting and those 2 are trained LEOs. LOL

I pray God touches your body like he has touched your soul and your faith is rewarded with more time to fulfill HIS will on Earth. Praise God for giving you more time with your wife and for filling your mind with peace at such a terrifying time.

Having seen this question pop up before, I always feel like it's a loaded question. By the strictest interpretation there is no gun registration in TN, but the bound book could be considered a de facto registration since the ATF can demand to see it any time they want and to record the contents. There is even a well known video of an ATF agent making an unscheduled visit to photograph every page of a gun store's bound book. Add to that fact that I'd feel like a fool if I actually believed the ATF does not keep all the 4473 forms they receive.

That's a great optic. I have it on one of my guns and it's terrific. Whoever gets this at this price is a lucky guy. GLWS

Damn, what did the #1 ugliest in HS look like?
It was a Pacer...nothing is uglier than that

Most, if not all, of us carry on a regular basis. We do it because it is our right. We do it to be able to defend ourselves or our loved ones. But we don’t necessarily walk out of the house every day thinking “will today be the day I have to defend the children in my care” and “please Lord, let my aim be true and let my will be strong”. That’s a big difference, and something an armed teacher will likely do. It’s one more thing a teacher has to think/worry about that is not education of their children. LEOs likely leave the house with that thought. Former LEOs might as well.
I hope those of us who carry leave the house with similar thoughts in mind instead of complacency. I know I do and I pray any teacher willing to carry a handgun to defend themselves and the children in their care will do the same. If that added burden is the straw that breaks the camel's back for someone to think/worry about, I thank God they aren't carrying a loaded firearm.

I had the 2nd ugliest car in my whole HS. It was a light green 1971 Dodge Coronet that had been wrecked by the PO. It had a white passenger front door, a dark green right fender, and some genius had tried to peel off the white vinyl top, but got lazy and never finished. It only had 1st and 2nd gear (3rd and reverse were both out). I paid $175 for that car and drove the wheels off of it. My friends called it the booger-mobile and I loved that car. It was surprisingly fast with that 318 V8 in it.

Colon cancer, huh? I guess justice actually did catch up to him in the end.

My wife saw one here in La Vergne a few years back near the roundabout on Stones River Blvd. I thought she was off her rocker, but I talked to a TWRA buddy I went to HS with an he confirmed the caught that bear and relocated it.

Seems the parents were worse than most, but nowhere near as bad as some. I've seen zero evidence so far that these parents knew this kid was on the verge of a shooting spree and certainly didn't incite him to commit violence, so I have a hard time agreeing with 15 years.

The answer to this is: "What's stopping them (or SROs for that matter) from doing so now?
The SRO I was talking to was telling me about an altercation that happened recently at a metro school. There were 2 female students fighting in the hallway. A male teacher and the SRO were breaking it up when the SRO somehow lost control of his backup firearm somehow. IIRC, it had been in his cargo pocket, but I could be mistaken. Regardless, one of the girls did gain control of it momentarily, but only very briefly.
I'd call that a fluke and estimate it to be somewhat highly unlikely, but it did happen. I don't plan my life around hoofbeats being zebras instead of horses, but it is worthwhile mental exercise to plan for as much as possible. I still favor arming willing, competent, and capable teachers. I just want them prepared for as many scenarios as possible.

Just putting this out there...I was talking about this with a school resource officer last night. I learned that most of them are not in favor of this bill because they're concerned about what might happen if an angry armed teacher has to be fired and if the teacher has to break up a fight in a crowded hallway and loses control of their weapon in the scuffle.
I don't lend much credence to the first argument. Carry permit holders on average are typically the model of what being a law-abiding citizen looks like.
I can't say I haven't thought about that second argument, especially in a HS scenario, but weapon retention would surely be part of the required training.

I had one of those on the last truck I owned. It was awesome and very convenient. GLWS

The bill wouldn't force anyone to do anything. It would just allow teachers who chose to carry to have an option if properly credentialed and trained.

My Corgi feels this.... but he's fat, so he's lucky he gets it at all! (He likes to steal his big brothers food when nobody is looking)
Yep, my littlest one is the same way. He's faster, so he steals the big one's treats all the time. He's even learned to position himself for a rebound when I toss the big one a treat and he doesn't make the catch.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah the sleep study is a pain. Not just from the new hoses and leads but in my case they woke me up at least twice to change or add something. I started out with only the monitors, once they got readings in that state they put the CPAP on me and went again. Then they switched the CPAP setup in the wee hours of the morning again.
They did something similar to me in the sleep study. As uncomfortable as dozens of electrodes are, I'd be almost asleep and they'd come over the speaker saying if I don't fall asleep, they'd have to give me a sleeping pill and/or reschedule the sleep study.
I finally slept 2 hours and they woke me up because they got enough data that quickly to conclude I needed a machine. Once they put the mask on they said I was asleep in under 2 minutes and had zero episodes once they got the settings dialed in. I slept like a baby the rest of the night.

I watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife again a few days ago and found a small hole in the writing. Ray is talking about how Egon leaving NYC and taking the gear left them high and dry. He's ranting and says something like "we even had to sell the firehouse. <pause> It's a Starbucks now." which is a pretty funny line.
But they're back in the firehouse in the new GB: Frozen Empire and it's exactly how they left it, not a Starbucks.
I bet you count gunshots in westerns and call BS when they fire 13 shots from a six-shooter too, huh? LOL
Just kidding, I didn't pick up on that, but you're right. -
I tried Lee Alox and it worked good...far less lead deposits. I haven't heard of anyone making their own bullet lube. I switched to powder coated bullets before I used up the Lee Alox that I had, so I'm curious to see what you find as a substitute in case the zombies come and I have to resort to scavenging wheel weights.

better than ghostbusters 2? i really enjoyed that one. HE IS VIGO!
I liked the 2nd one too, but this was even better IMO. I'm sure you already know this from the trailers, so it's not a spoiler...all the familiar faces that are still alive appeared in this one. It was a great thrill.

Didn’t sleep good with all the hoses, I felt constricted. Mainly I had a bad feeling that it was going to be very costly ,and the insurance wasn’t helping much.Just not in the mood for all that right now.
I hear ya, my wife didn't bail soon enough. Like you, she hated the sleep study and the mask/hoses, but went through with it anyway. I guess she thought she'd adapt, but it never happened. She ended up returning the machine, but was out a lot of money for her share of all the costs. It's certainly not for everyone.
Fun pictures or videos.

Isn't it funny how the left thinks this last part that ALL our Founding Fathers agreed on is somehow negated by the passage of time and circumstances they think trumps our natural rights?
