RE:78

That about sum it up?

About par for policy from the logic-free-zone.

Of course, the pilots are still forbidden to carry their own guns. Beam me up!

Woman Shot Inside New Orleans Airport

"Everybody knows this is impossible. There was a law passed making this illegal."

Allow me to paraphrase - There was a law passed making an airport a target rich environment.

And don't forget -- according to the Director of the FBI, it's "inevitable."

Great summary! We're toast unless we get past political correctness and start calling this so-called "peaceful, friendly religion" the abomnimation it really is.

It probably wasn't "sawed off". Anyone with any knowledge of shotguns knows that sawing off the barrel of a pump-action weapon wouldn't save a whole lot of space, as you still have the length of the action and the tubular magazine (can't saw them off, you know). It was more than likely a an 18-inch barreled riot gun, like a Mossberg or Winchester. Those dumba**es in the media know nothing about guns, so they probably just used the term "sawed off" because it has more shock effect.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I think we need to recruit a Sikh regiment for the U.S. Army, like the Brits used to have their Gurkas. Twenty years service, and they retire back to India on a King's pension in local money. They don't get along with Muslims, they've got a strong martial cultural heritage, and I think they work well at altitude. It's a no-brainer, but our leaders are not doing well on no-brainers lately, from what I can tell.

Patrick Gott

That's not exactly a standard-issue Muslim name. Gott is typically a Jewish last name (though not always) and Patrick is, well, about as Irish as you can get. Hopalong Goldstein would have been a slightly more believable Muslim name.

Mossberg 500 with pistol grip does look intimidating.

Gee, maybe they shoulda' profiled his happy........my former residential area.....last "indoor target practice" at that place was a DAD sending his son's molester(child molester scum) to meet his judgement as the FBI brought him to NOLA for trial.....

Re-title: (racist slander) searches for (racist deity) and virgins at airport, gets "intolerant" when others point out his Holiday Inn headgear....so he demonstrates how PEACEFUL he is......

Angola would be a REAL good place for this guy to be used as a virgin....

My impression from his name, was that he was a Black Muslim,a home grown nut,not an Arab.

I thought the man who shot the child molester who mollested his son did so at the Baton Rouge Airport and what happened to him. I think the Dad got off but am not sure.

If he was reloading so quickly, maybe it was a single shot or double barrel. With such sketchy information who knows?

A man police identified as Patrick Gott, 43, of Pensacola, Fla., right, is led from Louis Armstrong International Airport Wednesday evening, May 22, 2002, in Kenner, La. Gott allegedly wounded two people with a shotgun at the airport Wednesday, telling investigators that he fired because people made fun of his turban. (AP Photo/Bill Haber)

A few years ago, I read a story that American Sikhs in the US Army wanted permission to wear their turbans, since that is part of their religions. The Army turned them down. Ridiculous, Sikhs make for great soldiers. We could make turbans out of kevlar.

This dude's name is Patrick Gott and he's a Muslim? Gott means God in German, btw.
