Why barge in? Why not wait for him to go to the store? About 10 minutes of surveillence and intelligence gathering would prevent this. If he is a known violent resister, then arrest him in his driveway instead of a public place. I have yet to ever hear a good argument for blasting the door...

When Authorized... The applicable part of the law is the "when authorized" clause. Is that a gray area, sure, but when authorized usually means when acting in official capacity, in uniform, on mission, etc... I am sure you will never find a base commander that thinks that his boys are...

Isn't there some state or federal proposed firearms bill out there that deals with ensuring that firearms are legal in the terminal/pre-screening areas of the airports? If I can recall, this proposal was a result of the 2 shootings in terminals, the El Al one at LAX and another I cannot seem to...

By the way, I am a 1911 guy. I do hold the trigger down when putting the slide down. Always works well.

I guess I should expand..... I will commuting between Chicago (AAHHHH!!!) and Orlando a lot coming up and when I get to Orlando, I still have a long drive. I am thinking in rental car. Don't bother telling me about Chicago, I know the rules here... :banghead:

To expand on the other thread about Where/how do you load your ccw? How do you load your weapon after a flight? In rental car? your own Car, wait till home/hotel??

Right, but as Elliott said, unless you are middle age... Do younger people not do this simply because they (ahem...we) mostly use glocks, sigs, etc..??

What was the purpose of this? I can guess, but why the change?

That makes sense as well. Now if I can just tell the "Chicago Department of Revenue" (Thats what they call the meter maids here!) that I didn't park my car there, it was Bob Smith, no wait it was John Doe, oh hell, I was drunk occifer I don;t know.:rolleyes:

That makes sense, but still the police cannot search your vehicle just for fun, they have to pass various tests or be given your ok to do so. The funny thing here is that just 10 minutes ago I am reading the Chicago Sun Times (I live in Chicago) and the City has put up cameras 2 intersections...

Then how about using a flash bulb to see inside your car? Same deal. The inside of your car is not a public place, and if someone or something cannot readily see inside it, you have an expectation of privacy and fourth amendment protection.

I think this would work if you surprised the other side simply because they would not be prepared with the evidence chain. If they have seen this defense or were prepared, you are screwed. I worked at a place in Los Angeles right on the corner of a red light camera. When the film ran out, a...

Choice = Defense henrike, Why do I choose to have firearms? For defense. If someone breaks into my house and has a gun, I need one to protect my family. If no criminals had guns (miracle!) and that same criminal only has a knife, I still need a gun to protect my family. The saying is...
