    Ohio Professor Offers Gun-Control Solution: "Storm NRA HQ & Make Sure There Are No Su

    He claims that he was joking and that only non-thinking idiots would take his words any other way. I find it more believable that only a non-thinking idiot would either make such a joke or say such a thing with serious intent. We'll see. Any investigation will involve interviewing his...

    Would you support the No Fly No Buy List if they added Due Process?

    "You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered." — President Lyndon B. Johnson

    CLASSIC EXAMPLE: Why I Don't Open Carry.

    Akita says, "What bothers me is a guy on a watch list . . . ." A watch list you probably don't know you are on or why you are on it, can't challenge, and therefore can't get off of?

    More Seniors, Fearing Crime, Flock to Shooting Ranges

    I am 74 and quite gimpy. I am not fearful, but am aware that there are a lot of goblins would see me as an irresistible temptation comparable to dropping a squawking chicken in front of an agressive dog. Carrying is my default. RE: Use of the word "goblins." Before Col. Cooper, there was...

    Do you want to get back at Bloomberg? Buy him an NRA membership.

    I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he, or at least one of his minions, is already a member and subscribes to all the periodicals to better know his enemy.

    costitutional carry

    "It seems a little silly to state this [ie. lack of a law against open carry] as the lack of a law restricting something is the definition of Legal" Silly or not, it is often preemptively stated because people often ask for a citation of the law permitting open carry. There is none. Saying so...

    This is why you don't chase after the bad guy.

    Alaskan — Are you in favor of those in reasonable fear of their lives in their own homes being REQUIRED to flee? In their own driveways? Where may we stand our ground? Where can we defend ourselves without being considered guilty unless we can prove we could not escape safely? I am very...

    One, eventually, for the good guys

    I, as another old white guy, don't want to test my luck. My EDC, a CRKT, can be opened with one hand by pulling on an extension of the back of the blade, then flicking it. It is not honestly classifiable as a gravity knife – but hey we are talking about NYC. It's a good thing that I have no...

    On a more serious note

    Then a,b, c. Strange, I don't know any gun owners like that. I guess we hang out with differing selections of aquaintances. :rolleyes:

    Found out my neighbor is a "Fudd"

    I wasn't there and did not hear his tone or see his body language. What would have been his reaction be if you had said, "To have fun and maybe for self-defense . . . different strokes for different folks, right?"

    CuTco ?

    I have never owned a Cutco knife, but I did once endure the sales pitch in about 1973. I was enormously annoyed by the attitude of the couple doing the selling. When it came to the part where they asked me to compare the cutting ability of their knives with one of mine, I produced my EDC pocket...

    Restaurant (w/Liquor License) & Indoor Gun Range

    I just don't drink away from home, so the drinks could be free and I still wouldn't partake. Of course, some of my motivation is that state law prohibits alcohol in one's system while carrying :). I voted "Yes."

    Detroit must be getting desperate

    I recently retired from community college teaching in Detroit. Before Michigan preempted CCW/CPL licencing, my students often expressed fear of living in their own neighbourhoods. Since getting CCW/CPLs became relatively easy, I have not heard such talk. Typically, in a class of 25, two or...

    One in the chamber

    Google the gun laws of your state. Don't even rely on the word of a LEO. I have met too many officers who didn't know the law and, too, I have met several people who have told me that "the police don't like it if you have a round in the chamber." What they might like is not necessarily the...
