Man attacks gun carry permit holder with fork at Nashville hotel, and it doesn't end well
by WZTV, Monday, July 31st 2017

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--A Tennessee valid carry permit holder shot his attacker after the suspect tried to gain entry and stab the gun owner in his hotel room.

According to arrest records, the gun owner and another individual arrived to the Suburban Lodge on Central Pike after church Sunday afternoon. They then entered the elevator along with 48-year-old James Grisham, who it turns out did not have a room at the hotel.

The victims told police they exited the elevator and went towards their room while Grisham also exited and walked in the opposite direction.

A few minutes later, the victim says he opened the door to the room and found Grisham attempting to stab him with an object. Believing it was a knife and fearing for his life, the victim knocked Grisham down, retrieved his Glock 19 handgun from the table and shot Grisham in the left bicep.

Grisham took off with the knife, which was later recovered and determined to be a fork. The gun owner was able to stop Grisham and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

No charges were filed against the victims as the shooting was in self-defense. Police arrested Grisham on two charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

I will be at the Kopernik Observatory in NY on the eclipse. I will be wearing my Kimber Eclipse 1911 in honor of the eclipse of the century.

MrsMac and I will be setting up a ham station there too. PLUS, there will be over 18 telescopes set-up to view the event.

Too freaken coooool.

I will be in the path of 100% coverage.  Will see it with properly protected naked eye.  No scopes or anything to show dust specks.  Taking camper to Ky for Mammoth Cave and wanted to visit Corvette museum but its closed for massive upgrades.  There Tues to Fri before.

Then going to Nashville.  Its in full cover band.  As in TOTAL ECLIPSE.  The next time this is visible in the US will be in about 75 years. None of us will be around to see that.  If you want, I can sneak you in a tent behind my camper.  Or just a place to park and see it from.  Bring a few steaks.  I got grill and tater salad.

Gents, think of a camper for your traveling.  Army Corps of Engineers campsites with water and electric for 9 days are under $100.  Cannot beat that with very large stick.
