The important thing to remember is that the officer made it home safely that night, and one more assault spaniel was taken off the street.

Wild Alaska is 100% correct. If you ,or your union , demand that a third party has to pay your health care costs, that third party has every right in the world to require that you are not permitted to engage in any risky behavior, whether it be smoking, skydiving, motorcycles, or anything...

There is something that you have to remember about cops, most of them are complete losers who have failed at everything else they have tried. When they get a job in law enforcement, after Burger King and Taco Bell have both told them that they don’t have what it takes, they get an attitude...

"Officer" Waters already had one of his dogs shot when it when it attacked another cop. Maybe he was being a little bit sensitive in this event, because he didn't want to be sent into the fast food industry, where he and most cops actually belong...

On a semi-related note I found this cool website that lets you look up who gave money to various political campaigns, and how much they gave. You can even find individual donations as small as $50. http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/index.asp It’s amazing how many people gave money...

I live in an open primary state(no party registration), and I once voted for Jesse Jackson. I'd be willing to bet that at least half of the votes that he got were from non-Democrats looking to gum up the works.:evil: :evil:

I think that this author needs to do a little bit more research. The current excise tax was created by the Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937.

In an odd way, Mr. Korb was right. If it weren't for Clinton, the Republicans would not have captured both houses of Congress and, later, the Presidency. If these events hade not occurred, defense funding would still be in the toilet, and the victories would not have been possible. Thanks...

Chaim, I am glad to know that you are not arming gang members. In my state, that job is reserved for former members of the Illinois State Police. http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-gun07.html The union would be very unhappy if you cut into their turf. Enjoy your new Taurus...

Modified loser-pays system We should try a modified loser-pays system. Currently, juries can find for either the plaintiff or the defendant. They should be given a third option “complete waste of timeâ€. If the jury unanimously rules that the case that they heard was a waste of their time...

Geese aren't that tough. I have three nesting pairs on my pond right now, and they fear my terrier, and he has never been to any of the tactical goose-defense schools. I refuse to believe that a police dog could not protect himself from one. The goose pissed the cop off, and he did what a lot of...

I agree with all of those who say that this law exceeds the federal government's authority under the commerce clause. So does the NFA of 1934, the GCA of 1968, the Brady Bill, the Assault Weapons ban.........

Kcustom45, I pretty much agree with your analysis of the situation-the cop got PO ed at the goose, and he shot it. I’ve been tempted to do the same thing a bunch of times. The problems that I have are: 1) His story was absolute B.S. No police dog is in danger from goose pecks, unless...

I hope the feds do get involved. You know they would if one of us commoners had done that. Let sauce for the goose be sauce for the gander.

Prolly the best large unit commander (political hack) that we ever had was Eisenhower. Keeping all the egos stroked and the alliance together was a very tough job. The best pure combat commander was probably Nathan Bedford Forrest. He was an absolute POS as a human being, but his guerilla...

Saxon Pig, Your great uncle served under Washington? How old are you? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

TCD451, Do you have the regular rubber grips, or the ribber grips? The ribber grips are kind of funny looking, but they are fairly hand-filling and comfortable. http://taurususa.com/products/product-accessories.cfm?model=617B2C You can get them from Taurus for $16.

44brent, Who is going to be the plaintiff for this case? As an Illinois resident I don't think you would have standing in a case like this. I think you would need a CCW permit-holder from another state to file the suit. Lack of reciprocity does not directly effect an Illinois resident.

44Brent, I think that the Illinois Constitution does recognize RKBA. (From the Illinois Constitution) SECTION 22. RIGHT TO ARMS Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Of course this all hinges on...
