atlanta is a major city. It has violent ghettos and criminals by the ton, and it has some of the nicest places to go in a 300 mile radius as well. Your TN carry permit is valid there, and I would use it. But if you stay out of the ghetto and away from public transportation, you are usually safe. Watch out for people that try to hustle you, the ghetto hustle is popular down there where someone will run up to your car and wipe a towel on it and try to charge you for cleaning the window, or they will run up with a sob story, etc. It should be obvious if you are in a nice area or not. If not, you need to relocate with rapidity. When you start seeing spray paint on actual business exteriors, boarded up doors and windows, large numbers of urban outdoorsmen, or the like, its time to go. DO NOT EVER let yourself get caught down there during the african american "college festival" if they still do that. Just do not do it.

not 100% sure on all these.... bersa? kel tec thompson (only contender pistols?) bond arms (only derringers?) browning (22 cal counts?) diamondback feg (?) stoeger (?) to name a few off the top of my head

see above, it was just a silly remark --- I am in total agreement that apart from a few cases of cancer (again, those hide in the tobacco related numbers anyway) pot does not usually kill anyone, might get the odd allergic reaction to a first timer or something. Given how it works, I even wonder if it might HELP diabetes and obesity, by messing with blood sugar.

Correct, I was being absurd on purpose.

yea I just popped mine off and bolted a rail to the bottom to hold my forend grip. I had no need to replace their handguard, plenty of rails that will work this way.

One dead, one wounded in double-shooting on Jones Street The victims told officers they were sitting in a vehicle smoking marijuana in front the house when unknown parties began shooting at the vehicle chalk one up to the death by pot numbers for this year.

almost none. Most of the cancer deaths get blamed on tobacco, as a good number of pot smokers also use regular tobacco. Food products kill more people than drugs right now (heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer are the top). Cars kill more people under 50 than just about anything else, and probably more than everything else combined. That drug chart is worthless: really, coke and heroin, is this 1982? Crack & meth and whatever cheap, impure, homemade drug of the month are your killers. Booze and cars and food top the lists until old age (80+) which is a strange cause of death anyway, clearly the old folks die of heart attacks or cancer or whatever but their age becomes a factor that prevents treatment or survival of these things. As far as it goes I am for legalization of just about everything with 18 being the age of everything (if you can be drafted and be a porn star, you can do anything else too in my book). Let the people alone until they break a real law (stealing to support their habit? Lock them up for 10 years per offense). I see little difference between booze and hard drugs: the hard drugs are actually better because they do the work faster, it takes decades to die of booze, only a couple of years of meth.

I think the whole MIM thing is blown out of perspective. Almost every 1911 manufacturer will send you a new part if something breaks, which can happen but is also rare enough to not worry about it. The internet 1911 people spend way too much time worrying about how a part was made and not enough time shooting. Let me say this: I think kimbers are overpriced and that you are paying for their external look (which is very attractive) and brand name recognition. I also think they are fine guns; I have shot 5 or 6 of them and they all felt good, and they have the BEST out of the box trigger in the price range that I know of. They seem to also be quite accurate out of the box, but that is subjective and I only tested them at close ranges (under 25 yards). That said, I did not buy a kimber. I have a para ssp and my wife has a colt gold trophy or gold cup or something like that with a lightweight frame. Both have been excellent. The para mags had to be thrown away, they were horrible but the gun is good. I broke the para's unbreakable extra thick and probably MIM extractor, and they mailed me a new one overnight, which has lasted so far (over 1k rounds). I have shot the ruger and it is very nice, with a reasonable price tag. It went bang every time, felt great, was ruger made (felt well made, but again, this is subjective). It was accurate, again at close ranges. Trigger was typical, not bad but not outstanding either.

They fit a need --- mostly that need would be an inexpensive defense weapon backed by an outstanding warranty & service. I personally have trouble trying to justify a weaker caliber gun in the current micro 9mm craze. The older 32s and 380s are not significantly smaller so I would just get a 9 to save on ammo price and get a little more power. But that is just my useless 2 cents, if you want a 32, get a 32. So, anyway, if you get one, read the kel tec owner's group page on how to DIY, several of their tips can make these guns reliable without paying to ship it back. This is simple stuff like polishing off any metal burrs inside the action, polish the feed ramp, and I have had to do similar things on much more expensive guns.

darn I thought I did well at 650. Nice find!

welcome to TN!

Have not seen a poly but I have a colt with a lightweight frame and yes, it has a bit more recoil but it is easier to hold steady one handed for my wife.

got a lead bullet that works in an unmodified AR?

Isreal bombing Iran into the stone age to prevent them from going nuclear, forcing O to take a stand (probably with Iran) which, no matter what he does at that point, will look bad.

I could show you a picture of the PC I type on all day, but naaahh ... This was the king of our unmanned boats, a 38 foot monster with tech from 6 or so other companies all piled onto it. My company did the unmanned control system for it; I wrote a good bit (at least 1/2) of that software. Disclosure.... they never really let us use it fully unmanned, they wanted a human on board to rescue it if things went wrong, so you may or may not be able to spot a human in the pic. The vehicle, however, can be used with no human on board. You know how safety people are.

well from your list, some thoughts... you are missing 1) shotgun (recommend a tactical highcap 12) and 1) powerful rifle (308, 243, 270, that sort of thing?). An AR type pistol is legal to carry so that is nice, but in general, its a toy for most applications. It shares mags and ammo that you already have at least, but I would strongly consider a more well rounded setup with the rifle and shotgun over a toy. Not sure which of the 762 pistols are best. The plr may be in 300 in a year or 3, but you seem to be in a hurry. I am not sure you can get many other pistols of this type for so little money? the taurus alaskan tracker is a good gun, from what I hear, for the money.

Agreed with all that stuff. Mostly a little concerned as that is the other end of the street I work on (maybe 5 miles?) and all around me though my house proper is in a good area. Historically these folks just shoot every which way and several innocents have been hit at some distance from the action, including one little kid that, while alive, is in bad shape. Honestly that is my biggest fear, not being targeted or even attacked, but just stray rounds.

never had any trouble with any caliber of pmc, seems to be well made and reasonably consistent. I have shot some of their 223 and 556 but I forget which types exactly (and tons of pmc "handgun" caliber ammo as well).

I do not leave a weapon like that where it can be stolen, so it becomes a hassle to take it to and from all the time. I only carry that kind of firepower when necessary, but since I work on one of the roads involved, I think it will be going back in until the dust settles. Normally I would hope a regular firearm is sufficent; if I feel I need something like that all the time, I need to move!

I have always stayed wired. Wireless internet has never worked for me --- as a gamer, it just is not reliable enough 100% of the time. A few dropouts are fine for web browsing but when that disconnects you in the middle of a tough boss fight in a game, that is not good. I have never gotten into the cell phone thing either. I had one for about 3 months once with all the goodies, web and email and more, but it was an expensive toy of zero practical value. I now have a prepaid walmart phone that cost like $10 a month or so, and a landline. The cell is for emergencies or travel and just stays in my car. The only other thing I have wireless is my kindle and they broke the web browser for it because amazon is lame. It worked great for a while but right about the time they announced no more free wireless on the new devices, the web mysteriously stopped working but their store is still accessible 24-7. At least I can still get books on it without buying a wireless router.

I also love my plr-16, it has not had any trouble at all. The specs borrowed from the KT site: http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/pistols/plr-16/ Google some pics of the gun and you will see what it CAN look like as well as the factory configuration.

the 4th I know is to know what is behind your target?

You are correct, I was counting unmined gold stores too, not thinking. There are many many tons of gold ore yet to be mined, not sure what that becomes after purification. using what exists today, that is less than 1/2 a pound each of 15% of the population!

yea silver and gold aside, I would vote copper pennies next, which are still about 1/4 the ones in change. But really, if the end of the world comes, metal value will be nil. When you are hungry, even a truck load of gold an gems from the mall jewelery stores is worthless. If 85% of the population is dead, we could all have tons of gold, there is a LOT of gold in the world. And it would be useless for anything other than cast bullets.
