Welcome neighbor. I live in Morgan County which borders Cumberland County. I live near the famous Brushy Mountain State Prison site (now a tourist attraction including restaurants and winery). I live in a nearby beautiful valley.

Working for my local sheriff's office, we took some "clients" to Brushy when it was still operational. Never heard a bus load of men get so quiet so quickly.

Hey folks, I've already posted a few times without introducing myself. I go by eforest99 and live near Knoxville in East Tennessee. I love to shoot as a hobby and always carry for self defense. I've had firearms since I was 16 and started learning to shoot about age 8, taught by my Marine Corp Reservist sharp shooter dad! I've only had one situation where I had to self defense draw in my 60+ years; and 41 years of CCW. Pic below of that gun, the only pistol I had for many years.
EDC is a S&W M&P Shield Plus 9mm and a Taurus PT738 TCP .380 (an "A" model and flawless performance with FMJ since 2010). My wife also has a S&W M&P Shield Plus 9mm. We also have some Berettas, Walthers, etc. I have my mom's 1955 Model S&W 22/32 Airweight .22 revolver kit gun, although it actually belongs to my oldest daughter! lol. My parents and one set of grandparents all carried. My wife and I both have carry permits, and I think that CCW should be CCF(firearm), CCS(security), etc; I have never used a firearm as a "weapon!" A car can be a "weapon" if used as such. Anyway, looking forward to this forum!

Eforest99 , welcome to a great forum from Robbins Tennessee. This is a great forum made up of great folks. I am glad that you joined up with us. My wife Jeannie and I are in our 80 plus years but we love our guns and we both carry them all the time. Keep posting and always remember we love pictures.
