Why i HATE conceiled carry and what can i do to fix it?

He can have a handgun. He can have a handgun he whittled himself out of cheese wiz or a meteorite. Thats not a question. TN laws allows adults between 18-21 to own a handgun and TN law allows anyone who is allowed to own a handgun to build one from an 80% receiver blank and a parts kit.

He just can't carry it concealed. He was given some bad information and thought he was onto something. Turns out the information he was given wasnt any good but I'm sure thats not going to stop him. Sure as I can be without knowing him. I knew a lot of 19 year olds from Tennessee when I was in the Army. TN has a strong tradition of sending its sons off to the military. I'm sure I'll get flack for saying this but they were an obstinate bunch.

I've said it before. There should be a "thanks" or "like" button on this forum.

I think we are beating a dead horse here.

No registration or even serial numbers needed in TN or most states.

He did do a nice job with the 80% build.

I think sigsmokes point was that when you look at all of his posts, it points to that that he's trying to skirt the law to get what he wants.

An example is his comment:

Loopholes are fun arent they? Haha. I got my gun the same way. 80% build shipped straight to my place and no background check lol

His comment shows that his intention was to get around the age requirement of 21 to be able to buy a handgun from an FFL by building his own.

While there doesn't seem to be anything illegal about it, there are other ways he could have received a completed handgun legally.

But he choose the 'fun, lol, loophole way'.



I wont berate him...

And I'll even say that calling him a 'kid' is a bit un-THR when used as it has been in this thread. And that, imo, the TN obstinate comment is a bit derogatory.


I just hope he wises up before getting caught.



I 1/2 jokingly say:

"If I actually knew 1/2 as much now, as I thought I knew when I was 18-19, I'd still be a genius!"

This seems to have run its course.
