Why is it so much easier to post a :cuss: thread than to just do 5 seconds of googling?

Wrong. 3 round burst = three rounds per function of the trigger Full automatic = one function of the trigger starts continuous firing until the trigger is released or the ammunition supply is depleted These are two types of fire control settings on machine guns, which US law defines as a...

They're surely not run by them. Even if the event is held on a fairground, it's a private event that requires admission. It's not public. The person who owns the company that puts on the gun show made the policy, and you should either respect it or not attend his events. You're perfectly free to...

It isn't public property. It's open to the public that buy tickets of admission, but the property is privately owned and the person who operates the venue is perfectly within his or her rights to set restrictions on behavior that they see fit. Have you ever been to a restaurant that required...

No, and that analogy makes no sense. We're not "follow the rules no matter what" guys, we're "respect private property rights" guys. If a private entity says, "no loaded guns on my property, please," then I will respect that and either disarm or not go on his property. If a government entity has...

Outstanding! All our efforts making emails/phone calls paid off; that's a gratifying feeling. So, it goes into effect July 14th. Anyone have any insight into why that is the effective date?

Yeah, wire it up and make it into a lamp! :D

That reminds me of the time I first received my C&R license. Being young and having some disposable income (not much, but more than enough to keep the lights on and my stomach full), I disposed of said income quite readily. I suddenly went from 3 firearms in a $100 12-gun safe to almost two...

I don't wear a broken watch, even if it is right twice a day.

I disagree. I believe that you may be forming a mistaken stereotype due to the fact that you're posting on a board frequented mostly by Americans. Thus, any foreigner's posts will be unduly influenced by your judgment. Although THR does have some foreign posters, I think it's safe to assume that...

That or just carry anyways, and be responsible enough to accept the possible consequences of your actions, all the while doing what you can to change the corporate policy (going through the ol' chain of command to corporate), assuming that alone doesn't get you fired. Not everyone can afford...

Oh bleh... Well, I never expected this to be an easy fight. I suppose I still have some letters to write / phone calls to make. C'mon fellow TN folks, let's do our part!

gsg5, Sig 522, and now this... I'm going to have a safe full of .22s by the end of the year, I just know it. It won't help much in a SHTF scenario, but boy will I have some neato plinkers! :p

Garand. No competition. With a Garand, generally speaking, if I can see it, I can shoot it. With iron sights. Ammo for a Garand may be more expensive than for an AR-15, but in the absence of rounds in the magazine I can be assured that I am still holding a very intimidating and potent weapon...

Looks like a lot of fun! How good of a cheek weld can you get while aiming through that scope? I've always wanted to put optics on my 10/22, but the one's I've held never allowed me to rest my cheek against the stock properly while aiming, which is quite frustrating. How does the T6 stock do...

Thanks, Seminole, I'll get right on it.

Here's hoping from one Tennesseean. Any idea when these'll come to a vote?

Whoops, double tap. Got too excited.

I am a happy man. I really, really, really hope this passes. Go Vols!

dersequim - Well, here in TN things are going pretty well, from what I've seen. There was an article I saw recently online about pro-firearm laws being "fast tracked" though the legislature. With luck, Tennesseeans will be able to carry in places where alcohol is served for on-premises...
