Man, I think that school district is in trouble. I've been watching CNN and apparently the school had previously had a security guard who had been reassigned. The PTO and parents have been trying with letters and meetings and petitions to get the guard back and have been unsuccessful. The school...

Goof 1: New Bern, NC police officer leaves his weapon in a Subway bathroom. :what: Weapon is found by employees and retrieved by another officer. Goof 2: I'm sure Glock would be surprised to hear they're making revolvers now...:rolleyes: Full article is here...

Man, that guy is awesome.

Hi there. I'm doing this sort of backward - burst of posts followed by an introduction - but then again I'm horrible at doing what's expected of me. :D Anyway, I'm a mom (of 2), who also happens to be an EMT and student pilot, gun owner and usually a Democrat but also strong 2A rights advocate...

Ah! I know this one - I just used it in a discussion the other day. The case is Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1, 1981. Good luck!

I take Ritalin for adult ADD (diagnosed by a psychiatrist in 2002 after extensive testing) and have for the past five years. Ritalin is actually a prescription amphetamine, and in a person who truly has ADD/ADHD acts more as a calming agent than an agitating one. I have no trouble napping during...

Done, 53.7!

Done. 67.33 in favor!

It's frustrating, isn't it? I had a similar discussion on another forum and the conversation kept coming back to, "Your life must be horrible to have you so paranoid about your safety," "If I get in trouble I'm confident that I can call 911 and be protected," and most annoying of all, "But the...

Oh, this is magical. The guy walks in with proper ID, passes the necessary background check, and somehow the gun shop owner is liable because he can't see into the future?!? Even if he lied on the form under the section about mental illness (which it's starting to appear he did), as long as he...

I think it does partly point up the (myriad) problems in the US's mental healthcare system in particular and health care in general, but that's not the whole issue. I don't usually like to speak in cliches or catchphrases, but a lot of the problem is a failure to "see something, say...

No way. It's far too slippery a slope from "flagged for going insane and killing nuns" to "flagged because he acted like an a-hole to the wrong doctor/judge/LEO" to "flagged because he thinks people should be able to defend themselves using deadly force and obviously, THAT is NUTS." Also, I...

Luckily, I think it's also becoming crystal clear to a growing segment of the citizenry that the government can't/won't "do something" and it's going to be up to us.

You know, I'm a poster on another forum with a completely different demographic than THR - mostly women 25-45, mostly liberal (which, to be fair, I am too except for 2A issues), mostly college-educated and just as a guess, mostly earning upwards of $30K/year. In other words, middle-class...

Bill-O needs a new dry cleaner, is all I can say.
