RECCE ROOM

This morning, Handgun Carry Permit Safety Schools received this email from the administrative staff of the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security: Good morning, "As you all are already probably aware, anyone who has reached 18 years of age is now eligible for a handgun carry permit in the state of Tennessee. The state has 90 (ninety) days to implement this update to the current online application system. Until such time as the system has been updated to accept those applications, you will need to do the following for 18-20 year old students: 1) issue a 3-part certificate for them to take to the DMV after June 27th (subject to change to a sooner date if the system updates are completed); 2) complete a paper roster, and 3) submit the completed roster to the handgun unit. If an 18-20 year old student takes their certificate to the DMV before the system upgrades are completed, they will be turned away. The Handgun Unit will notify all schools t...

This post to serve as a more thorough review of the class, Rifle Marksman, by Brian Hill of The Complete Combatant.  Abstract My reason for taking this class was twofold. First, as someone who identifies as a Rifleman (who also teaches pistol classes), I wanted to see how a rifle class would look as taught by an expert pistoleer. Brian Hill certainly foots that bill.

He has been teaching firearms for a long time and is well known in firearms communities as an expert in the art of the pistol. As a person, he came across as kind and friendly...

On local Social Media Pages, it is not hard to find people that hate my friend and School Board commissioner, Joseph Padilla . Now, it is not hard to find that many of them participated in crossover voting ( which is illegal ) in an attempt to prevent Padilla from being elected to office.  Well, one of that gang was so emboldened, presumably due to the difficulty of prosecuting crossover voting, that he broke the law in another way: Voter Fraud. Per WSMV and Tennessee Conservative News, Nicholas Greiner  "pleaded guilty to illegal voting, a class D felony." Greiner, who many times on Social Media referred to himself as "more Libertarian" than anything else (with regards to political party), staunchly advocated masks, mask mandates, "the vaxx," "vaxx mandates," and Democrat and "Independent" candidates - certainly not Libertarian at all. Remember, in Wilson County, "I" means Democrat. Greiner's most common online cohorts i...
