[Stolen gun recovered]

Awesome news.  What kind of gun was it?

[I dont know how much more we can take]

I agree with your sentiment BlackHawk. As a father of two young boys (4 & 7), I had to really think through the issue a few years ago. I have taught both my boys about firearm safety, they know the difference between a real firearm and their toy guns, and they know that they can handle a real firearm anytime they ask, but it has to be with Dad's permission. My biggest fear for them is that they will be at the house of another not so responsible owner whose child gets a hold of their firearm, so they know that if they see another child with a gun they need to run and tell an adult.

As far as firearms inside our home, for me it boiled down to an honest assessment of risk. I had to ask myself if there is more risk of a bad guy harming my family inside our home or more risk of my family being harmed by one of our boys or a child visitor (there seems to be a constant stream of neighborhood kids in and out of the house, which I love) with one of my firearms. I've been blessed with the talents and abilities to provide my family with home in a community very free of violent crime. When I factor those risks, the choice for me is to keep my firearms locked in the safe when one (or more) is not on my person.

My feelings exactly.

[New EDC]

The XDS is also my edc and I love it.  Tons of fun to shoot and much easier to shoot accurately than I thought it would be.  I also have the crossbreed supertuck.  Congrats and enjoy!

[How Long Have You Had Your TN Handgun Carry Permit]

45 minutes.....call me Mr Noob... :woohoo:

[Would it be legal??]

Well, it looks like a moot point now.  I went home for lunch and it was in my mailbox.  Am I required to make my Wallyworld walk today or can I put it off till the weekend when all the really special people are there!

 

 

In all seriousness though, I do not take this responsibility lightly.  I have been shooting guns for over 40 years now and do shoot regularly. Rifles, pistols, shotguns and muzzloaders.  My family and I shoot for fun at least a couple of times a month.  If it goes bang, we want to shoot it.

11 weeks down here - :(

 

 

Call the Department of Safety and inquire.  All you need is your TN Driver license number and they can tell you the status.

[Would it be legal??]

Thanks everyone.  A few more days certainly wont hurt me.

[Would it be legal??]

I applied for my HCP on Feb 2 and called the Department of Safety today to check on my application.  I was informed that my HCP was issued on March 4th and that I should recieve it in the mail in the next 7-14 business days by mail.  Hooray!!  Anyway, am I legal to carry even though I don't have the actual permit in hand??

[XDS in stock G&L Hendersonville]

Thanks for the info Porkchop.  I went over yesterday and picked one up.  My first time in that store and it was definately worth the drive from Murfreesboro.  Very nice people.

[XDS .45ACP Reviews??]

Thanks guys.  Think I will pick one up.

[XDS .45ACP Reviews??]

Hey guys, I am looking for a good conceal carry pistol and I am considering the XDS .45.  I have a XDM 4.5 inch in 9mm and absolutely love it but need something smaller framed for conceal carry.  Does anyone have any experience or opinions on this pistol.  I'm not a newby to guns and shooting but definately a newby to carrying.

[Help me ID this track]
