[Some People Just Don't Need To Own Guns]

EBONICS:

U dun B strapped homie?

ENGLISH:

Are you carrying a firearm?

[Nashville area malls]

This is going to be long-winded but here goes...

Malls are typically owned by property management companies. My own employer has a number of these companies as clients. These companies are well represented by their lawyers. Lawyers generally are not dumb and these companies usually seek their counsel on things like posting signs, especially when the signs tread on legal issues.

The fact that these malls post in one or two locations (if at all) or post signs with verbiage that is not in keeping with the TCA prescription, suggests to me several things:

#1.) That they post simply to keep the sheep confident in the illusion that they are safe.

#2.) That they knowingly leave loopholes for carry permit holders to walk through.

#3.) That they also give themselves plausible deniability if you end up having to protect yourself (or flip out and kill innocent people before another HCP holder takes you down) because they can always refer the news media back to their one or two signs "prohibiting" firearms.

Thank you for making this observation and conclusion. You stated it much better than I could have.

Establishments that place non-TCA compliant signs and decals on their doors and storefronts don't care if you are carrying concealed. If you don't make a big deal out of it, they won't. It makes the sheeple feel safe.

A lot of liquor stores are still posting the old signs. If they don't know the difference or have a problem with you legally carrying concealed, find a new store and drop the old place a line about being stuck on stupid. Again, if you don't make a big deal out of it, they won't.

[How many?]

Drop the mag about an inch, place it on top of the bottle cap, put lanyard loop under rim, rock forward. Repeat six times, lock gun away, help best friend enjoy the effort.

One more for those of you who own high dollar 1911s with lowered ejection port.

[How many?]

Suntzu,

Very good. This is a GI 1911A1 with a lanyard loop.

[How many?]

There are more.

[The 1911 is an Outdated Design]

The BHP was designed in response to a French Army request. Browning died before the final design was done and before the first prototype.

When the first prototypes were delivered, France discovered that it did not have the money to buy them and re-equip its army(there are lots of other versions and theories also). At this point, FN (then owned by the Belgian government) went out and sold the finalized design called the HP to other governments, the rest is history.

Some folks who are less than charitable of our gallant French allies maintain that lack of a pop up white flag on the design killed it. Vive le frogs.

[The 1911 is an Outdated Design]

The French knew what they were doing.

[How many?]

Nobody here ever carry a 1911A1 in the service?

#1 Lock slide back. Place barrel over top of beer, push forward until dust cover is under

the edge of the cap. Rock gun forward, remove cap, enjoy.

[How many?]

How many bottle openers on a GI 1911?

[Exit 196]

Howdy from the wrong side of the tracks in Bellvue(Nashville area).

I have lived here a couple of years after moving from VA. I am mostly a plinker these days. I have a deep and abiding love for Smith revolvers and 1911s, but carry Glocks.

I also reload pistol calibers and hunt once in a while.

Mostly I try to relive my youth by being as dirty an old man as possible.

Yes, my avatar is gold plated Lorcin .380. It came from the custom shop with a trigger job, polished feed ramp, Action job, tuned extractor, carbon fiber composite trigger and custom grips. After all that custom tuning it will usually fire four rounds without jamming.

Why a gold plated Lorcin, it came from a guitar player. I was told upon moving to Nashville that anything could be explained away by invoking a guitar player.

I look forward to the board.

[are you a mall ninja]

Once upon a time, my wife kept nagging me to get out of the house. My brief fling at retirement was driving her crazy.

The least demanding job I could find was working security in an office building at night.

Never amounted to much an office building ninja either. They did not appreciate me trying to make the elevators go faster by changing a few settings in the control box. They were also VERY unreceptive to the Dillon 550 that I bolted to the security desk. Building management decided to terminate the security contract. They said it was safer without me there. Security company was not amused either.

[Remington 7600 .308]

A serious hunter only needs a pump action Remington 870 12 Ga., a 760\7600 in favorite deer caliber, and a Remington pump .22. All have the same controls in the same location.

My father had a 760 in .300 Savage and in 40 years killed trainloads of deer, a couple of black bears, a moose and a caribou. My brother has the gun now and kills a couple of deer and cayotes every year with it.

Accuracy is not MOA but minute of whitetail is close enough.

The best deal in a hunting rifle right now would be a synthetic 7600 in your favorite deer caliber.

I think I have seen large aftermarket mags, but the factory 5 rounder is all you need for hunting. You probably won't live long enough to wear the original out.
