    Can H.O.A.s Ban Guns? Part 2

    The previous thread, "Can HOA Ban Guns," was closed because 1. In my original post, quoting from the editorial (emphasis added) That seems pretty unambiguous that this is a prohibition. 2. If you follow the link to the original story, which I quoted in post # 18 of that thread, it...

    Can H.O.A.s Ban Guns?

    Because HOAs are private corporations, the Second Amendment does not apply. Just wait until the gun control lobby figures out how they can ban guns for 1/5 of the population without having to change a single law. About 60 million Americans live in "common interest communities." And the...

    What Makes the 1911 So Great?

    What makes the 1911 so great? I'm not interested in how it won Wold War II, fond childhood memories of shooting it, or how cool it looks. From a design and engineering perspective, what sets the 1911 design apart from others semi-automatic handguns? Off the top of my head, I can think of a...

    Mistaken Identity, Stopped by Police

    499th post! For whatever reason, you have been mistaken for a dangerous criminal suspect. Several law enforcement officers, weapons drawn, are shouting contradictory commands at you. For example: LEO #1: "Get on the ground!" LEO #2: "Don't move!" LEO #3: "Put your hands where I can see...

    Legality of Video Taping the Police

    On another web site, somebody brought up a good question: Ever since this story came out, what I've been wondering is, is it necessary to show credentials to continue taping? Do police have the legal ability to order someone to stop video recording? Do journalistic credentials make a...
