    Nashville I-24 Expo Dec.15-16

    Any TFLers coming to the gun show this weekend? I heard it was this weekend and then I heard it was last weekend. If it is this weekend, than Oleg and I will be coming, probably on that Saturday morning (15th).

    inspirational words from our Canadian neighbor

    I looked and didn't see this already posted on TFL, so here it is: America: The Good Neighbor. Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of...

    I'm on high alert: My boss' life was just threatened

    Jimmy got fired several months ago, but ever since he’s been continually harrassing my boss, Stewart. He calls at all hours, even trying co-worker’s extensions to the point where everybody wants something done. It’s severely disrupting the work day. Stewart keeps dismissing it. He’d rather bury...

    I'm getting an article printed! HELP ME OUT!

    I have my foot halfway through the Nashville Parent door; it's not the publication I'm normally involved with, but it's located the next room over, and the editor-in-chief is my boss' wife. Heh. I figured it was only a matter of time before somebody would write an article on Children and Gun...

    Dealing with security guards?

    Upon reading Elizabeth Peterson's "My, My Gun, and my Boyfriend's Bank" thread, I wonder... I've never had any incidents with security guards, but if I do, I sure want to know my rights. Do guards have the right to frisk you or go through your things if they have "probable cause"? What can they...

    a disappointing baton class

    I took my baton re-certification this past Saturday alongside my brother. (This is a yearly event.) It was at APPS in Nashville, with a reputable instructor, J. Buford Tune, who had enough awards and certificates from his long police service to fill up an entire wall. In the end, however, I was...

    The amount of heat I'm packin' today

    (Be Your Very Own One-Day Mall Ninja) After some humorous conversation with our very own Oleg Volk, I decided to see how heavily armed I could be in one day at work, with the one rule that everything must be completely concealed. My profile: 5 foot 3 at 103 pounds. Clothes: T-shirt and blue...

    just bought my first revolver!

    I just bought my first revolver (I don't count my NAA mini). It's a Taurus 617, the ported stainless 7-shot .357 Magnum. I bought it new from my favorite pawn shop for $330 before taxes and the $10 TBI instant background check. Diane, the store owner, ran clean out of .357 ammo, so I settled for...

    TFL window decals

    I've always wanted one to go across my back window, so I took some liberties and designed my own. There's a two-color and an economical one-color logo. These are vinyl-cut. Of course, I am here to ask permission from the proper people first! What do you think...

But I managed to take one last drool at their website when...

    thug + gun vs. two semi's

    The "Linda Hamilton / Dangerous Weapon" thread made me post this little incident that happened to my co-worker last year... My co-worker Tim was driving on the interstate, and turned his signal on to move into the lane beside him. A thug in a low-riding Buick swerved into the spot he wanted to...

    made it through the metal detector!

    I had to go to court the other day, and was careful to make sure I left my pistol, knives, and baton in my pickup before I went in. Anyways, I have a nickel-plated rod up my back from an old surgery, and I told that to the lady cop before I passed through. I figured it would go off, so I...

    bad frisking at courthouse

    This happened a couple months ago, but the more I think about it, the more it bugs me. I was getting an order of protection against my ex-boyfriend, so we both had to go to court. (He didn't show up.) I couldn't legally carry my pistol or any of my knives or baton into the courthouse, so I left...

    Finally, a voice in the media...

    It may seem that everyone in the media is anti-gun or too scared to touch the subject with a ten-foot pole, but I found out that isn't quite so. My favorite radio station is 105.9 FM here in Nashville. Twice this week, in discussing the elections, the DJs have added "subliminally, with attitude"...

    Maintaining mother of pearl grips?

    I've got a NAA .22 magnum mini-revolver with mother of pearl grips. The grips are starting to scuff and scratch. What am I supposed to do to maintain the original look? Buff them?
