Pinnacle training... Really that dangerous?

It's better to be judged by twelve, rather than carried by six.

Hey, Memphis proudly gained a few spots to 13 from the bottom on the recent FBI's list of America's Least to Most Dangerous Cities (greater than 70,000 pop). Guess which city is number 1!! It ain't St. Louis anymore!

I'm getting ready to head to Memphis... I haven't heard what hotel they use, but I have heard that if you bring your car it will get stolen/broken into... is it really that bad? Should I just leave it at home? Should I bring my glock? imp:

Actually you should just stay home and find another regional as pinch-a-nickel is one of the worse regionals out there.

Careful carrying that Glock around TN. That state doesn't recognize concealed carry permits from most other states.

A new Pinnacle pilot trainee was flying NW to MEM for training. He was obviously nervous and the passenger next to him smiled and asked "first time flying?

No he said I'm actually a pilot and I've just been hired by Peanuckle airline and when I finish training I'm going to be based in Memphis.

Well asked the passenger why are you shaking? I thought you were afraid of flying.

No said the new hire, "I'm really worried about moving my family to Memphis, I've heard the crime rate is really bad."

Ahh sucks said his fellow companion Memphis is a piece of cake; I've lived there all my life.

Relieved somewhat, the new hire said "really?"

Yeah said his fellow traveler, just pick a good neighborhood, mind your own business and don't flip anybody off and your wife and kids will be fine!

Man, said the new hire that's really a relief, by the way what type of work do you do?

Me?: asked the stranger, why I'm a tail gunner on a bread truck.

Actually Tennessee has reciprocity agreements with a lot of states for handgun carry permits:

I think in Memphis, the law is, if you have a record, or are intending on creating or adding to your record, or have just created or added to your record, you DO NOT need a conceal/carry permit. If you are a law abiding citizen however, you DO need a conceal/carry permit.

My question is how did Philly beat Minneapolis? I've lived in both and I don't find myself in MSP very often thinking, "I sure wish I was packing". Now Philly...

I love it!

MEM sounds as bad as HOU/IAH. Don't leave ANYTHING in your car as it WILL be broken into.

Someone came and stole 2 wheels off a Suburban in the Homestead lot in broad daylight. Must have been like a Nascar pit stop.

Location, location, location! On that alone I'd consider any regional before Pinnie...

PSA Believes that hotel is Safe and when we asked that it be changed they told us that it exceeded quality standards.
You will need a car because there is no edible food nearby. except for the Catfish Cabin.....ewe
People at the Hotel are extremely rude. Most likely tired of hearing from crews how bad the hotel is.

You will be fine there. Just bring a gun...or two!
