Listed the house on Friday morning. Three showings over the weekend and we’re mulling over one offer. The two that didn’t make an offer were buyer-side problems. All the realtors said the house showed really well. About 90% of the houses that fit our criteria are under contract. If we accept this offer, we basically… Read More »
It’s all over the local media. Police are saying that this was an actual accidental shooting caused by a mechanical failure, not a negligent discharge. My suspicion is some sort of decocker failure. Unfortunately, there was a rule 2 violation, and the man’s 10 month old son was shot in the chest and killed. It’s… Read More »
I may have mentioned that I am keeping a friend’s firearms while he is out of the country, with his explicit wish that I shoot them. One of them is a Remington 700 in .308 that has an absolutely terrible 4x scope on it. My friend will be gone until sometime in 2015, so I’m… Read More »
Apparently even the Tennessean (the local main-stream paper) has noticed that there’s a bit of an ammo shortage right now. By the way, this ran on the front page as the big color article, so I’m guessing today was a slow news day. As per usual, it’s probably best to not read the comments.
…when I came back from lunch and saw this as the top story on local media. Police arrested a south Nashville man after they said he was threatening a neighborhood with a semi-automatic machine pistol. A semi-automatic machine pistol, you say? How’s that work, exactly? I double-facepalmed when I clicked on the article and read… Read More »
On it’s way to Governor Haslam, who’s not keen on it. We have a very weak executive office in TN. It takes 60 votes in the house to pass a bill, but only 51 to override a veto. The bill got 72 votes. It will go into effect July 1st if Haslam doesn’t veto it.… Read More »
MTSU trying to decide if it should punish a Constable for….having his gun on him as required by state law. The investigation began because MTSU campus cops saw “police equipment” in his car. That probably means lights, but who knows. Bowling Green, KY, off duty deputy shoots former constable. That deputy has hired a lawyer… Read More »
My commute in this morning was unusually light. I even wondered aloud if schools were closed as I pulled in to the parking lot 20 minutes early. As it turns out, Williamson County Schools were closed today. The reason? One of their maintenance workers walked right through a restraining order and opened fire on his… Read More »
Committee started hearing the bill at about 12:05. Mike Stewart (D-Nashville) apparently doesn’t understand there’s no such thing as a “public business.” He kept going on and on about “but I privately purchased this property. Why would I be affected by this?” Apparently the bill only applies to the criminal penalties under TCA 39-17-1359. It… Read More »
It took a couple weeks to get back to me, but here is the response I got: February 19, 2013 Dear [redacted], Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns about the potential introduction of gun control legislation. I truly appreciate having the benefit of your views on this important issue. It is hard… Read More »
