Maybe. 1) I buy a gun for $750 for my personal use, decide for whatever reason to toss it up on TGO Classifieds and sell it for $1000. 2) I know where I can get a $1000 gun for $750 and purchase it with the intent of selling it for the profit. Either way it goes from licensed dealer or individual, to me, to my buyer. Either way I pay $750 and make $250 in the process. The difference is in the intent. In #1, I intended to keep it for myself, but didn't. In #2, I never intended to keep it. The intent was to earn profit. That's the hard part to prove in a case like this. What was Shipley's intent? Apparently the jury thought his intent was to buy and sell for profit. "Mr. Shipley was thrilled to be paid for a job that allowed him to practice his marksmanship, his family says, and stepped up his firearms sales in 2005 to pay for his wife's medical treatment and expenses when the couple adopted their daughter in September 2004 and their son in August 2005." If he was selling off his pre-existing collection to pay his bills, no problem. If during that time, he was also purchasing those same items he was selling, I think the prosecution would have a decent case that he was buying with the intent of reselling for profit. On the other hand, if there is no proof that the main reason for the purchases was to make money for his family medical/kid expenses, then they're throwing a law-abiding citizen under the bus for being an unintentional cog in the cartel gun-running machine.

There was some fun autocross going at the GoodGuys show at LP field this weeekend. As usual, the Camaros and Mustangs had the fastest times. It wasn't a long course. Typical times were in the 35-45 sec range. 32'ish was about the fastest I saw.

I drive in from the west side every day. Before 7 is no problem. After about 7:15an you'll probably lose all of about 10 minutes to the traffic. Without traffic, it's about 5 min from Old Hickory Blvd to Briley Pkwy. With traffic, it's 15, 20 tops. Take Briley around and you'll be fine. Traffic from the west side (accidents excluded) really isn't very heavy.

New carrying... today at home depot
monkeylizard replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I'm 6'4 and 175. I find that I can not in any way conceal a double-stack and hide the corresponding bulge. About 4:30 is the best position with my XDsc in a CompTac Minotaur. I can make my Ruger LCP all but disappear even in a cheap High Noon holster. My Kahr PM9 in a Remora holster is only slightly more noticable. The LCP and PM-9 are both single-stack. I know I give up round count, but they are infinitley more concealable and more comfortable. -
It's not D3vo's technique. I've fired his CM9 since the failures began (actually, they began while I was firing it*). I have had no problems from my PM9. I hold them both the same way. D3vo has also shot my PM9 w/o failure. Using WWB in my PM9 has been fine for both of us. It's a problem with his CM9. I don't think it's operator error at this point, though it's possible it's the ammo in his CM9, even though my PM9 likes the WWB just fine. The recoil spring in his CM9 is longer. Like he said, we dind't measure it, but I'd say from my semi-decent memory that his has an extra 3 turns on the spring over mine. *maybe I broke it

Personally, I view them the same as someone who posted legally as far as how I feel about the business. I'd rather take my money someplace else. In reality, I do business with legally posted places because sometimes I just have to. As far as carrying, I might carry past that sign. It depends on the type of business, how long I'll be there, how likely I am to be "made". I'd be extra conscious about keeping super concealed. There's no case law that I know of yet, and i don't want to be the first. No, they didn't meet the letter of the law, but it's clear what the shopkeeper is saying.

I'm thinking Principality of Sealand, Historical Site through 5 June 2000 may be more realistic.

Cliff's Notes version: "Now that he's running for President, I want to tell everyone why I think Newt Gingrich is a tool. Oh...the 1980's were so much better. So much so that I want to have Tip O'Neill's lovechild." There. I saved all of you 10 minutes of reading the article.

Or late? During the week it's pretty empty by around 5:00 or 5:30. Does it empty out then on the weekends too?

You'll save some weight by switching from the 4" to 3", but not a lot. Mostly you'll notice the shorter grip (w/short mag) is easier to conceal. I have an XDsc.40 kept in a CompTac Minotaur on a Crossbreed belt. I don't like it*. It's still too heavy. I'm breaking in a Kahr PM9 today at CHMR that I picked up here on TGO. The XD will be relegated to nightstand duty. Kahr has released the CM9 to compete with the Ruger LC9. Don't skip that one if you decide to evaluate the "pocket 9" world. +1 to getting a big gain in size/weight by going single stack. The downside is of course fewer bangs. * I love the holster. It's the weight of the gun I don't like.

That's why they have to ride a train with 100 other people or drive cars that look like this: http://www.planetizen.com/files/laetz1.jpg * Congrats on the special-order truck. It drives sweeter when your name is printed on the factory window sticker. *Yes, I know that's a car from India, not Europe. It's still lame.

TN's latest Brady-Bunch Scorecard
monkeylizard replied to StPatrick's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
We could cut it in half with the parking lot and college campus bills. What's meant by the 2 points for record keeping? Does TN require more than the Fed requirements? -

I'm guessing well pump. It looks like the pipe coming through the outside block wall is the supply line. The horizontal line moves water from the pump to the tank, The vertical line from the tank feeds water up to the house. The veritcal pipe on the left looks like an electrical conduit to power the pump. Another option is "hot water heater" either for hot water use or for a radiator system, but I don't see how that device on the left has any heating element.
