Ok, Kwikrnu got banned here. That is not the point of the discussion, and please do not let it become the point of discussion.
His actions, however, do impact your legal rights in Tennessee. This is the "why" I am posting this. Not to crow, not to pout, not to berate him, but to inform you of what has occurred.
Kwikrnu was detained in Radnor Lake Park, a small park in southern Davidson County, Nashville, TN. He was carrying a Draco Pistol, a pistol based loosely on the AK-47. The Draco pistol was designed to be a pistol which shoots the 7.62x39 round the AK-47 shoots, while being the proper size to meet the legal definition of a pistol. The Draco looks very similar to a folding stock AK-47, and can be confused for it, particularly by those who have no knowledge of the Draco pistol. Kwikrnu was detained by Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agents, while they decided if what he was carrying was an illegal cut down of an AK-47, or a legal firearm. Please see older threads in the Tennessee section for the particulars.

Kwikrnu's federal case has ended. The Judge ruled in favor of the Agent. Kwikrnu's State case is still active at this time.
