Rippy’s in Nashville

A little more info for those coming to the NRAAM
I figured I’d add a little bit of an addendum to Wizard’s Urgent Reminder:
1. Nashville is essentially in a giant bowl. The only way to get out and not go up hill is pretty much to jump in the river (I do not recommend jumping in the Cumberland). This means that Nashville is one of the worst places in the country for allergies due to lack of air circulation beyond this bowl. This being the beginning of Spring, and the trees liking to fornicate, everything currently has a lovely pollen yellow/green coating. Oh, and the prediction is for Friday and Saturday to BE WORSE. If you have allergies at all, remember to pack your Sudefed or other medication of choice.
2. The Nashville Convention Center and the Music City Center are two different places. NRAAM is at the Music City Center. The good news is that, if you go to the wrong one, you’ll only be a couple blocks away.
3. Please note that Nashville has decided that it’s best to just go ahead and close down a couple major roads downtown due to the convention. Yes, these are roads remarkably close to the convention center. Please plan accordingly.
4. Hope you guys have fun, and I’ll hopefully see a number of you there.

Park Carry Passes in the TN Senate
26-7. Just happened. Goes to the Governor next.

Well… good.
Looks like the “guns in local parks” bill in TN passed the house earlier today. The senate is set to vote on it in the morning. Interestingly enough, this bill states that it will take effect upon passing, so, assuming Governor Haslam signs off in a timely manner, it will take effect before the NRAAM.
Of course, he’s said that he’s against it, so I predict that he waits as long as he can before signing.
Oh, here’s a link to the story.

Yeah… no.
A left-wing buddy of mine posted a link to this article on Facebook and stated “I can’t wait to learn if this was a permit-holding ‘responsible’ gun owner.”
I was able to quickly tell him “uh… no.”
See… as the law stands right now in the state of Tennessee, you can’t legally carry without a permit, which you can’t obtain until you’re 21, and the guy was 19. Oh, and he was carrying while in a Davidson County park, which, while we’re trying to change that, is currently illegal even if you have a permit. Throw on top of that that he’s carrying without a holster (if you believe the story), which is one of those stupid things that folks that are carrying legally tend not to do, and since he’s 19 and in a low-income high-crime area, I’d guess that he probably didn’t acquire the firearm in a totally legal fashion.
Of course, the story of “he was minding my own business, playing with my cat, when his gun fell out of his pocket, went off, and shot him in the head” reeks of choir boy syndrome to me. My guess is that he was a gangbanger who got shot while playing with other gangbangers, and well… he and his buddies “ain’t no snitch.”

Interesting…
This article is on the front page of CNN right now.
It’s about how Iraq’s military can’t seem to get their act together, which is allowing ISIS to thrive.
The author found a way to mention Bush, but the word “Obama” isn’t anywhere in there.

Rule 5
Apparently after Kid #2, you’re bandwidth-limited to one post per month.
Don’t try to catch a falling gun.
Gunshot interrupts Smyrna town hall meeting:
SMYRNA, TN (WSMV) –
A gunshot rang out in a Smyrna town meeting on Thursday night, causing a brief moment of panic.It was business as usual as Police Chief Kevin Arnold gave a briefing to members of the town council.
“And so we have some volunteers who will be manning the records division,” Arnold said before he was cut short by the sound of a gunshot.
Arnold sprung into action to investigate what happened in the lobby.
Well, that sounds exciting!
Lt. Earl Barnes was providing security and his gun accidentally went off when it hit the floor.
Less exciting than I was expecting, but exciting nonetheless. Strange that they issue guns that aren’t drop-safe, don’t you think?
“His handgun caught on the chair, and as he stood up, he realized that his gun was falling out,” Arnold said. “And he went to grab it before it hit the floor. And when he did, he accidentally discharged a round off into the floor.”
Oh, so, what you’re saying is that it didn’t go off when it hit the floor, it went off when he pulled the trigger. Well, I’m glad that no one got hurt. We just need to get that officer some more training.
Barnes is the head of the SWAT team with 25 years on the force.
Wait, what? So how did this happen?
Arnold said Barnes had responded to an armed robbery earlier in the day. When he holstered his weapon, it didn’t lock into his holster.
Uh huh.
He will face disciplinary action.
Well at least there’s that.

Testing the waters
So… I should have probably posted something about this earlier but…
Anyone interested in another Bidet Shoot in June?
