Right. Maybe if they would 'buss a cap in that bird's @$$' first, then it would be all G.

These guys crack me up. demean people as much as possible, but by God, don't let the chicken suffer.

Dang, I was just thinking that as I was reading the posts. Rice & Rudy would spank the butter offa hitler-y's behind.

Oedekoven said the existing permitting process allows officials to check whether someone has a substance abuse problem or other impairment that would preclude them from carrying a hidden gun.

I thought thats what background checks at PURCHASE was supposed to do.
Anyway, WTG Wyoming. Someday, we'll have decent carry law, too.

"Forty percent of NBA players have criminal records, according to Jeff Benedict, author of Out of Bounds: Inside the NBA's Culture of Rape, Violence & Crime. Yet NBA executives constantly make excuses for them, often relying on political correctness in one form or another to rationalize the rise of the criminal-athlete.

Since these guys were li'l snot-suckers they've been told that they 'can do anything' and that they 'deserve a shot'. Apparently the NBA execs did little to break them of their spoiled habits. They are used to getting what they want and not having to deal with consequence. So when they DON'T get what they want, they pitch the fit.

The NBA isn't the only sport, either. I propose eligibility based on performance, grades, record and community involvement. We'd then have responsible, civil, conscientious players. We'd also then have only 30 players, though.

What I don't understand is how he can assumedly believe that we could find no better potential candidate native to the US, such that we'd have to elect an immigrant.

If everyone who used it were banned from driving while I'm driving, I'd say go for it.

Personally, I didn't like it. It made me only want to sleep. I much preferred watching TV with a cold 6. That, of course, was back when I was young and stupid.

Hey. I didn't mean to imply that the officers here are anti 2nd ammendement, though many are. But, without trying to draw too much of a generalization, many of them draw a distinction between RKBA and shooting someone in defense. I think it's important to point out that we, not only have to register all firearms and have a 14 day wait, but in many of the mandatory 'judicious use' classes, it's stressed that even maiming in defense is grounds for prosecution. The instructors do, however, point out that alive and in jail is better than dead; to which I totally agree. And i know some PO's, though by no means many and I'd guess that it's split fairly down the middle re: the 2nd.

Fortunately, as in my case and as I understand in majority of cases, it never actually gets to that point and merely brandishing (and a few choice words at full volume) is more than enough incentive for perps to evaporate.

Thats exactly what I thought. The embodiment of semper fidelis right there. May he find the eternal peace he has earned. @-^--

Oooo that a 92F isn't it? I got me one of those.

Nice pic!

OMG. What a great story. Must be nice to have a PD that understands.

When these guys hopped my fence at 3 AM, I grabbed the PDW and ran outside (I rebarreled a m1 carbine, pistol gripstock and a 15 rd mag of roll-yer-own soft-points). Obviously, they exited in a hurry. I've known nobody else here (Hawaii) who has ever done this, though I have seen several stories posted on the High Road boards. When I asked the officers (always call, of course), they told me that if I had shot them, they'd probably have to arrest me. Paradise, my a$$.

BTW, I get America's First Freedom, and the first thing I usually look at is the "Armed Citizen".

"Americans should arm themselves and organize themselves to prepare against terrorist ANY attacks."

Yep. I, too, am on a red island in a blue sea (the left-est state, geographically - *shudder*). We're trying for shall-issue, but looks like we'll have to wait longer than expected.

"a return to the secular humanism on which our nation was founded."

Laff. 'Humanism' doesn't work. It's how dictators are born.
Maybe this guy lives in Cuba.

Not this again. People only have 'little' opportunities then they are too lazy to look for them; in which case, they don't really deserve them anyway.

But it's sad, again, that these idiots seem to think that the military is some sort of 'last resort' that should only be surrendered to after all possible options have been exhausted.

SNL has been a stupid show for the last 10 years.

"when the shotgun wielded by her father was often the only thing that stood between her family and the Ku Klux Klan."

How very many times, I wonder, this very scenario is played out all across our country these days. Not necessarily against the klan, obviously, but in defense of self/family/property. You almost never hear about it and naturally the MSM isn't going to report it. It's surprising.

Knowing Dr Rice's stance on RKBA is not really surprising, but it is HELLA encouraging. I really hope she decides to make a go at POTUS come '08. I've a feeling she'd clean house.

Ouch. Now those teens can join Al Qaeda, along with the rest of them.

Yeah. I mean this idiot makes it sound like an either/or situation.

What bothers me is that this clown (well damned near all libs) has some bug up his butt about something that ain't his friggin business anyway. Ya don't wanna buy a ribbon? Don't buy a ribbon. But for goodness sake, to they ALWAYS have to throw a tantrum about it? What stake has he in the fact that lots of people do it? None I can see. How's about just STFU and send the care package already.

I guess the primary prerequisites to being a lib is having no life and having your nose up everyone else's a$$.

Mr Qualls must be proud to have raised such a great young man.

May the grace of God bring peace to this family, to ease their greif and amplify the joy they have in sharing Louis' life. I 'd like to express my gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

Note that Massachusetts is ranked 49th.

This is some amazing stuff.

Good GOD. It's a pity that people aren't capable of "un-seeing" things. <Retch>
