You sure that's not from last year in Seattle?

As mentioned above, join the TFA. That's one of the best ways to try to get good work done on our behalf on TN Capitol Hill.

As far as has ever been reported here that I can recall, the only case of anyone being prosecuted for carrying past a sign was around 10 years ago or so in Memphis at a (I think) Kawasaki dealership. The place had been recently robbed, maybe multiple times (10+ years ago . . I don't remember specifics). Anyway, long story short, the signs were huge and obvious. This predated the current specific signage laws needing the TCA reference. I think maybe the offender was even warned verbally NOT to carry but did it anyway. A pretty blatant thumbing of his nose at the proprietor. Police were called. Charges were filed. I don't recall exactly what the outcome was, or if we ever learned the final outcome, but he probably got to see a judge at some point. I think at that time, a conviction under 39-17-1359 meant a mandatory suspension of the HCP but that's no longer in 1359.

Black panther!

Don't know the actor or actress, but apparently she's crazy 'bout a Mercury '49.

Really? You don't think they'd offer up new border funding or renewed oil drilling to get actual hard hitting gun legislation passed? They'd do it in a heart beat knowing they can kill the funding and revoke the permits before any real work is done. And the GOP would walk right into it like they always do. I used to think it was because the GOP was hapless when it came to political maneuvering, but it happens way too often to not be intentional.

I'm in.

I'm in too. As I recall, the owner of Dalt's on White Bridge Rd. is friendly to our community. He allowed Chip Cain to host a great meet up several years ago to discuss legal issue around carrying and SD. Dalt's is not posted. It might be a good way to return the favor and meet there, but it's your show T.K. so wherever you choose is fine with me.

He's right about that. An AR is fairly useless against an F-22. But that opens up the argument to say that what we need is civilian ownership of MANPADS and old German 88s with flak canisters. Maybe then he would stop insinuating threats of F-22 attacks against American civilians.

Herman Munster on the left and The Karate Kid on the right.

If you say so . . .

Thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting/hoping for another round. My paperwork is ready to get notarized and off in the mail to the fine folks in Anniston.

I think I see a fuzzy baby elephant

Needs a red dot

If it's bigger and cheaper, there's a reason. The question you have to ask is "does that matter to me?" Some of the big box retailers have good safes alongside the thinner/lighter/cheaper ones. TSC for example sells cheap Cannon and Winchester (Chinese made) safes along with more expensive models from Liberty (USA made).

Beat me to it. Unfortunately, I think the end of the NFA would actually skyrocket prices on things like the MG42. The supply can't get any bigger and the demand would surge. Only guns in current production, or where a new production version would be just as or nearly as desirable as an original would see prices plummet. Glock 18, MP-5, Uzi, M-60, or M-4/M-16 for example.

That's certainly not a glowing review of Great American. But look on the bright side. It may spark some good discussions on safety. . . . I'll get my hat . . .

Because aligning a red dot on a target is easier and faster than trying to align 3 tiny white dots on the same target. Try one. You'll very quickly understand why they've become all the rage.

Ours may not be as specific as theirs re: motorcycles (I have no idea what Brazil's actual law is), but couldn't we do the same under our current use of force laws? Why would using a vehicle be any different than using a firearm? If the attacker is placing you or another in reasonable fear of imminent death or serious bodily harm, a Buick may be just as effective as a Bushmaster, IMO. I can see the Tacticool ads for M-Lok bumpers in both gun and car mags already . . . .

Here's the thing. People who launder money usually only launder a small portion of their illicit gains. The taxes, fees, and kickbacks are the cost of cleaning some of it and they accept that fact. If Tony Montoya is sitting on $500 million in cash from his import business, and wants to buy a $10 million house on the water in Miami, he'll launder $20 million and come out with the clean $10m he needs. The house actually cost him $20 million, but he's still sitting on $480 million, tax free, so no complaints there. The larger the operation, the more opportunity there is to setup a legitimate business to launder even more money. Take the mob for example. They could run that intimidation and stolen cigarette money through their restaurants, freight companies, casinos, etc. where it comes out clean. Remember you only need to clean the money you want to use for legitimate purposes. No need to clean the cash you're using to pay bribes, your henchmen, your supplier, etc. If it's done right, it's not easily investigated. Money is laundered multiple times and through offshore corporations. The paper trail isn't like the movies.

It's the buyer laundering the money through the seller, often in cahoots with one another. Let's say you I and are involved in less-than-legal activities. We each have $20K in cash shoved in shoeboxes but have no official income so eyebrows get raised if either of us go buy a car or a boat. Instead, I can sell you a Cheeto that looks like Elvis for $20K, and you can sell me a one-of-a-kind watercolor painted by your 3 year old nephew. We now each have $20K made through the sale of legitimate items and neither of us are out more than a Cheeto and Arte de Toddler. We can now claim our $20K as income (and pay taxes on it) and use the remainder for high dollar purchases like cars, boats, or houses. Repeating the process gets more money into the system OR hides the same money a second, third, or fourth time. Each time it gets harder to trace back to the original illicit source. More legitimacy (and more money), and less suspicion can be added by using something with actual value instead of my Elvis Cheto and your nephew's painting if a duck but still overpaying. Doing it through a public place like Gunbroker or eBay adds credibility because it's out in public. The buyer and seller can create several dummy accounts to bid up the price to make it look like it was a real auction and the high price is legitimate. Only if someone goes digging real deep into the accounts would they find they all trace back to the same person. Of course the more money you're laundering, and the more people involved, the more pathways there are and the more obfuscated the actual process becomes. In this case, if the buyer and seller were actually cahooting to launder money, there probably never was a rifle to begin with and if there was, it never really changed hands.

BLACK PANTHER!!!!!!

All those spots on the road came from their hair, not the car.
