One less to worry about.

How could he not believe that his son wouldn't try to ''sell'' the 'hot' vehicle etc.. Talk about pretending to be naive.. DUh.... how pathetic.

You retired in 2001? Well thank you for your service to our country..

[John Robertson]

the more i consider, the more i think, we ARE thinking of different incidents. so...we're both right about all things at all times (notwithstanding every instance where our wives are involved).

A loaded gun in the passenger compartment is illegal in most states.

Some states treat your car as a natural extension of your house. Nevada, for example, allows anyone to carry loaded guns inside their car under this principle, and I know people that have a loaded gun on the passenger seat when they drive. No paperwork required. When it is sitting on the seat, it isn't concealed carry.

I just love a happy ending!

Hell, even in Grand Theft Auto it doesn't always work. Kids need to play more video games, less hangin' on the corner.

This is a really great story, w/ a fine conclusion and deserves to be read by more people than have read this as of whatever time it is right now.

BUMP!!!

Guns don't kill people, Marines kill people.

Since Thaddeus "Scum Sucker" Antone is worm food now, throw his parents in jail for raising such despicable trash.

You know, you and I are going to be flamed, but if upon investigation it was to be found that he was a problem over time in school and the parents did nothing about it, I wholeheartedly agree. If he was an ongoing problem in school and the did nothing, they should be whipped and THEN incarcerated for 2-3 years as an example to everyone. You are exactly right.

The 2nd amendment trumps illegal state code!

"I have a lot of doubts about this investigation as far as the Police Department is concerned," he said.

On second thought, try him as an accomplice and execute him.

In the Florida panhandle we don't call it car jacking, we call it suicide.

WELL DONE MARINE.

[Squantos]

LOL ! Excellent comment !

Stay Safe, Stay Armed !

"There's a bumper sticker out there that reads:

Gun control means using both hands."

:)

When I was a kid, learning to shoot anything my dad (RANGERAIRBORNE) kept in the house, he bought me a hat that said, "Gun control is being able to hit your target."

I love those old pictures...hehhehheh.

The sad thing is that this young Marine would have been in deep Kimchee if he had been on post with his handgun. I would hope there is not the Marine equal of an AR 15-6 investigation opened by some zealous JAG puke. This needs to be monitored.

Take care and remember it is better to be tried by twelve than carried by six.

[Travis McGee]

Good point. It pisses me off that bases are gun-free zones, and military are forced to go unarmed if they are going on and off base.

[pepsionice]

I could never figure out the whole area outside of Maxwell. The city doesn't care. The state doesn't care. It is a maximum danger zone for any military person to venture out of after dark. Thank God for the gate and the SPs who maintain security. Seems like it needs a extreme neighborhood watch team...loaded down with shotguns. Even the locals who are good people...are totally afraid of the area after dark. This is getting as bad as LA.
