Pinnacle training... Really that dangerous?

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.

good god compton is safer than detroit or st louis? Whats up with that.

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!

Almost 2 years ago my car was stolen from the parking lot on Nonconnah right there at Corporate. This was after the gate was closed for the night. The security guard just watched them drive out in it. Also we had a upg candidate get his truck broken into twice in 2 weeks during the day at corporate.

Memphis is one of the worst cities in the US. Never again will I go there unarmed. Thinking back on it, some the the stuff I did was REAL REAL dumb. I didn't know any better... Now I do!!!

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!

Ain't that the truth! Drunken staggering walks outside of Beale Street (the direction away from downtown) looking for your car at 3:00am...

 

[JPAustin]

Hmm, why did the smily go in the time?

 

[greed]

Wow I am from Compton and I am scared to go there now.

 

[JPAustin]

I think Orange Mound might be worse than Compton. It is a neighborhood south of downtown.
