Where, how many and in what condtion his handguns were in is his damn bussiness and no one elses.

The only mistake he made was to pick up a weapon, if indeed he did, and point it at the chief. I think he had a very powerful argument without the rifle.

You don't suppose he was picking up the rifle to carry it outside, so it wouldn't burn up, do you?

Well, I don't know what else to do when someone enters your home against your wishes, won't leave when asked, and then tries to remove YOU.

Trust me. "Arguing" with someone who has been trained to believe they are an "authority figure" is useless.

It's worth a try in court. :)

Our Second Amendment rights, like all rights, come with a moral obligation to use them constructively and responsibly.

If this guy wants to be as irresponsible as possible with regard to sound firearm safety practices, then I have the absolute freedom as guaranteed by the First Amendment to describe as the irresponsible, idiotic, demented, foolish *sshole he is.

His stupidity and irresponsibility make other supporters of the Second Amendment look bad. His stupidity and irresponsibility give anti-Second Amendment activists excellent propaganda to use in their war against my rights.

Many FReepers seem to be completely unaware, in their Leibnizian dreamstate, that OTHER PEOPLE EXIST and one's actions have an effect on other people.

You are a mind reader, I can tell. Any true gun nut will tell you, the heck with the wife, kids, and heirlooms, I savin the guns. If the fire cheif was an anti, he was acting on prejudice.
