Changes at THR: LEGAL BOARD, READ BEFORE POSTING

Oleg Volk · August 19, 2007, 11:38 PM

Dear friends,

I'd like to reiterate the main mission goals of THR:

Introduce new people to RKBA
Support new shooters with information and encouragement
Present a civil, peaceable and friendly image of gun owners to the world
Organize actions to protect and expand our rights

Changes in THR structure to facilitate those goals:

Legal forum is now for legal issues only. When giving advice, please endeavor to provide links or references to original documents, laws and other relevant resources. Please keep the topics related to guns and RKBA.
Political topics go into Activism Discussion forum -- provided they are accompanied by plans of action. Mere griping is no longer appropriate for THR. If you want to discuss an injustice or a political development, propose a remedy!

Special care must be taken to ensure that we appear as reasonable and peaceable to the world as possible. Antis are sure to pluck even a rare example of uncivil, bigoted or Rambo conduct out of context and use against us. With that in mind, make sure that remedy of shooting anyone is only considered if all other legal options are exhausted. No more "feed the hogs!" or "from my cold dead hands!" If we ever come to that, the last thing you want is a discussion of tactics in an open forum, where the likely opposition can read and which they can use to justify bigger budgets and heavier armor.

Conduct becoming ladies and gentlemen is expected, without religious, national or other prejudices. That means no slurs on Californians, French, Muslims, cops, women or anyone else. If a particular group of people does something you dislike, let their actions speak for themselves. When debating, please avoid the typical logical fallacies common to debates at lesser forums. Remember that we should be more interested in a Socratic discourse, a search for the truth and a plan of action more than on winning the debates.

This forum is the extension of the company I wish to keep. Consider yourself invited by me personally and please do not abuse my hospitality by picking on other guests or by misusing the venue provided for discussions of topics specifically excluded from its brief, such as celebrity misbehaviors or non-RKBA politics.

Welcome to THR.

With respect to Oleg, I just edited the thread title. The body of the message remains the same.

The body of the message remains the same. __________________ How is my M&P40 shooting? 99.78% reliable. (This is, unfortunately, out of date...it's only gotten better, I just need to put in the data). Wanted to Buy: vz24, Swedish, Siamese and various contract Mausers, in excellent condition (no scrubbed crests, please). Also, looking for a BHP in Ohio for FTF.
