  Yes.   I'm not worried until I hear nothing at all. Or until I hear black noise. Which ever comes first.... or last...

This guy is not registering anything he owns. This guy is not paying any taxes on anything he owns. This guy is not letting anything he owns be turned into NFA items. This guy is not giving up anything he owns. This guy is not willing to "compromise". Guns, mags, ammo or anything else that "goes up".   This guy is not willing to rebel with armed force. This guy is not willing to fight with law enforcement agencies at any level. This guy is not willing to sit in jail.   I will let my hired representatives and the NRA fight it out. If that fails, I will take to the streets of my state capitol to protest and demand the state refuse the federal regulations and defend anyone under the TN Firearms Freedom Act - with force from local/state law enforcement if needed.   If that fails, I will reconsider what I am willing to do. Course at that time, there will not be much left to loose, so who knows what I will be willing to do.

NBC?   Well, there goes their entire fall schedule :lol:     \ I agree.   No reason to insult vagina like that

Methinks is why they have been silent.   Imagine the numbers if a ban gets put on the table or even goes through. Big bank. Big big bank.

Dicks still has a good market on sports stuffs. I doubt loosing any gun sales will hurt them very much. Academy is really hurting them here in the Nooga though.   And golf? I'd rather play fetch with myself than play golf

Hmm...   I was wrong. That's never happened to me before. I'm not sure how to explain this feeling I have right now. I think I'll go lie down now

Dicks and WM are only pulling weapons frpm stores located around the shooting. they didn't say how many stores or what the exact locations were.

  School RSOs are expensive. Tax payers are stingy. Armed staff is free.   See where this is going? :)

I sent you a PM, Brian.

This song will be the last thing you think about.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY     I am not going to listen to anything but horrible and regrettably catchy songs from the '90s for the rest of the week. Figure by the time Friday rolls around, I'll be happy to go out in a burning blaze of hail.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvcohzJvviQ     What's on your playlists? :)

No sympathy for that guy. He knew what he was doing and was given ample warning.   I would like to see more details about the machine gun though.

Cost of a drivers license is $20. Cost of a BG check is $10. Add a few bucks for the cost of a fingerprinting machine/3rd party fingerprinting. Goes hand and hand with what others in this thread have said other states charge.   TN adds a few extra hands and steps to the process to triple the costs and increase profits. One extra step is TCIS. TICS is a middle man for NICS. Another step is the state not offering free BG checks , or waiving the checks altogether, to those with a HCP.

Cops says he saw a knife. Kinda hard to tell in the vid. The corpse's lawyer sez he was tangled up in the seat belt. Can not see that either. I'd call that a wash.   I do see a repeat felon attempting to either run or attack the cop. I'm fine with the outcome.   ;)

To no one in particular:   It isn't about the cash strapped not being able to afford to purchase a right. It is about the state putting restrictions and a tax on rights for the sole purpose of creating additional revenue and profit. It's not that complicated. Taxing rights is wrong.     The above post is not directed to the guy that is ignoring me.

  It really doesn't matter if you said "new" or not. I will repost my comment here without it since you believe that one little word nips my [point. :)       You still think rights should be purchased. You still think the poor can afford unconstitutional taxes if they can afford a weapon.   The word "new" does not change anything here.

My apologizes for making such a jumping assumption   :lol:

Awesome! I'm in Trenton often and had no idea 'yuns were out there.

Sheesh....   Wish someone would insult me by saying I've never been poor :lol:

Easy, Hoss. :)   Just making an observation. No one that's been on the Ramen noodles financial plan will say "if they can afford X, they can afford Y". Someone else mentioned being able to afford a car but couldn't afford gas. Great analogy.   It's great if you've never been in that position.   ...

  You've never been poor have you? It shows :)   A poor man that eats Ramen noodles every night has every bit of the same rights as you. He might be able to scrape up $150.00 for a Highpoint but it might be impossible for him to come up with another $200+ to purchase his right to carry it. And who says that poor man has to buy a new handgun anyway? Maybe his weapon(s) are hand-me-downs, "loans" or gifts. Does he forfeit his rights because his gun was a free gift and he's poor?   It's a sad day when we are willing to put a price on God given rights.

  Never researched reciprocity. Take your word on it though. Guess that's from GA not requiring any safety classes. I'd gladly trade carrying in an unvisited state for less restrictions in my home state.   Far as the differences in permitting process; TN requires an 8 hour safety class which normally costs 80-100 dollars. There's day one wasted. Ga does not require this.   TN requires tested applicants to apply at DoS and to pay 115 dollars for the application form and fingerprinting. These long lines makes days two wasted. GA does not require this. You apply get your permit at your county's probate court. Application is short and fees low. More importantly, court employees are required to be good employees, unlike the often appointed "welfare to work" employees manning the long lines at TDoS.   TN requires you to make an appointment for fingerprinting after you file your application. This usually doesn't take very ling but it's still another unneeded trip. GA does not do this. You simply show up at your closest jail at your convinced time. Not sure if 3rd parties can do this.   TN can take upto 90 days to issue. GA is "instantly" (close enough to call instant. They even show you your permit before you leave the court).  

      Are you affirming that's it's the only tactical way.... or that I really do go commando?   :ugh:

I go commando.   It's the only tactical way.

  I agree. The hoops and taxes should be removed from the process. I have suggested a lot here ( and to my reps over the years) that TN needs to copy GA's carry laws. Instant issue, fingerprints handled by LE (free) and applicants are charged what it costs the county to issue them - and not what the state want's to profit. I wnet through this when I lived in GA and It only took me about an hour to complete the entire process and had my permit in hand within 4 or 5 days or so. It takes most Tennesseans longer than an hour just to stand in the first line at the DoS.   No worries though. People are hard at work bickering about laws with little to no chance of ever coming up to vote, instead of removing unconstitutional restrictions and taxes.
