The Colt name is what the money buys. The make quality products-doesn't have to be what the "old" guys made, just quality. Look at Harley Davidson: Bought by AMF and they took quality down and spent little money on R&D and Marketing. Went back private and look at them now--upped the quality and great marketing. True, they are expensive to buy and maintain but people have bought into it.

I was a new, volunteer member of the national disaster team with the Red Cross. Spent a little over three weeks in NYC from Thanksgiving weekend to Christmas Eve. My job took me to every site, including Ground Zero and the Fresh Kills landfill where further searching was done. Like MacGyver I will never forget the tastes, smells, or sights but I don't regret doing my part to help. New Yorkers have a reputation for being callous but they came together to support all the workers and always thanked you when they saw your uniform, hardhat, or ID badge.

Email just received from TFA Cities are pushing firearm prohibition in spite of our victory on Capital Hill
URGENT CALL TO ACTION!
KNOXVILLE indicating it will IGNORE state law that allows handgun permit holders to carry in public parks!
The Tennessee Valley Fair has notified the public that the fair is posted, stating on page two of their Fair Guidebook: "Please note: no weapons of any kind are permitted at Chilhowee Park. All entrants are subject to search. . ."
Chilhowee Park is owned by the City of Knoxville. State of Tennessee now prohibits by law the City from regulating the possession of firearms in local parks based on a law passed in 2015 that is now in effect.
The Tennessee Attorney General issued a formal opinion concluding that a local government may not ban handgun permit holders from carrying their handguns in the public parks (with a limited exception that is not relevant to the fair). Further, the AG concluded that the state law now prohibits an event that rents or uses the public park from banning firearms in the park.
Tennessee Firearms Association member Liston Matthews has been in contact with Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch, who referred him to the Executive Director of the Fair, Scott Suchomski. Mr. Suchomski clearly stated his unwillingness to modify the Fair's policy despite applicable state law. This places permitted citizens at risk of arrest if they attempt to enter Chilhowee Park with their lawfully carried handgun.
Interestingly, it may also place at risk the City of Knoxville, Knox County and/or the Fair and their respective decision makes at risk of being sued for violating the civil rights of handgun permit holders under color of state law.
Please call and email your state senator, state representative, Governor Bill Haslam, Mayor Madeline Rogero, and City Law Director Charles Swanson.
Call on them to require the Tennessee Valley Fair to comply with state law since they are operating in a city park. Tell them you worked too hard to get this law passed for it to be ignored, possibly subjecting lawful permit holders to unlawful arrest.

This same problem is arising in Memphis, Nashville and now Knoxville. It is clear that these local governments are intentionally ignoring state law and apparently no one in the Haslam administration is going to step in to enforce state law, to investigate potential wholesale civil rights violations or to even seek a court order to enforce state law!
Even if you are not impacted by the Knoxville actions - it is an issue that should concern you and that must be attacked as a statewide affront to our rights as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment! So, no matter what part of the state you are in - call and demand that state law be enforced and that our civil rights be honored!

House Bill says "take a Black vulture" Senate Bill says " for farmers, ranchers, and other owners of livestock animals in this State to defend their property by harassing, injuring, or killing predatory vultures that are endangering their livestock" So what did the final bill that the Governor signed say?

Not surprising. NYC doesn't budget much for firing weapons-ammo or paying for time spent. For that matter most departments only fire once a year to keep accredited. Anything else is up to the officer on his own time.

Concern could have been heightened by his taking nearly 30 seconds to stop with no traffic. Blue lights comment at 1:17 and came to a stop at 1:45. Never saw any traffic on the roads--even made two turns.

Signs not to have force of law. They can always ask you to leave but concealed is concealed so they wouldn't know.

US Dept of Homeland Security wants every state and county to have a "homeland security" so TN created a separate group then put it with the Dept of Safety; however, TEMA (the state's equivalent of FEMA) is a part of the Military Dept not Safety and Homeland Security. Goes back to Civil Defense during the Cold War.

Without snakes we would be knee deep in small rodents like mice, rats, shrews, etc in about a year. Olds, foxes, and coyotes would never be able to keep up!

Another proof that gun control is not about guns, it's about control.

Check the Patriot Guard Riders website for any notices sent out about "missions". PGR was established by two American Legion Riders in Kansas to put a barrier between these people and the families. Mission statements will give the staging time and location, person in charge (ride captain), contact info and any other pertinent details.
Now we provide American Flag Lines and escorts for any serviceperson, veteran, or first responder when requested by the family. Membership is free, you don't have to ride a motorcycle, or be a veteran-- just want to support those who serve us. They stood for me so I'll stand for them.

News stories now say he bought the Glock 45 with money his parents gave him for his birthday. He either doesn't have convictions in the system or he hasn't been tried yet. Another loser using an excuse for his on failures.

Go to a sign maker and buy some blank magnetic sign material, Not expensive. Put the decal on it, cot to shape, and place on metal car part.

Good idea. Just so you know I'm stealing it if I can get it to work on my Tundra. Visibility doesn't bother me because I will take it with me when I exit. and open carry is an option in TN. Appeal is in how much handy it will be when I am seated. Can't use one of the under dash mounts as I have knee airbags.
