    Happened Saturday -- what would you do?

    Careful reading of the OP seems to indicate the bad guy was reaching inside the victims truck door, not his own car door. Only one poster appears to have noticed this distinction. I am making the assumption the victim was driving a truck based on him towing a boat. If true, the bad guy might...

    A Heinlein quote

    Heinlein was Navy, graduated from the USNA in 1929. In the Navy until 1934 when he was discharged for pulmonary TB. While that is a Navy uniform on the individual in the middle, is it Heinlein? It is the right rank, Lieutenant, at the time of his discharge. Added later: Probably not him in...

    What's Up With Day By Day?

    What's up with everyone having problems with IE? I've used it for years, and it works consistently fine for me.

    When does the panic buying commence?

    The next ban... ...will have no "Grandfather" clauses. The Dems learned their lesson from the last ban. This time around it will be, "Turn everything in. Weapons, magazines, parts, uppers, lowers, receivers, barrels, everything."

    Will you make any "just in case" purchases before the November Election?

    No plans for any "just in case" purchases. I anticipate an AW ban sooner rather than later. And any AWB that is passed will have no "Grandfather" or sunset clauses. Instead, it will be an outright "turn them all in" ban. The Dems will be in an ideal position to ram a ban through, having...

    "Jericho?" Gun-related? Proper for the "General" category?

    It was quite the disconnect for me when I saw an interview with Lennie James the first time. He is a British actor with a pronounced English accent. I wasn't expecting that. He covers it very well; only occasionally does it slip through on the show, and you really have to listen for it. A...

    This liberal finally gets it.

    I listened through the section mentioned, and then a ways beyond. She has no clue as to the meaning of the 2nd Amendment.

    Do you feel that THR is over-moderated?

    For a bunch of "jack booted, cop-apologist, anarchist, fascist, liberal neo-con, baby seal clubbers," the THR moderators do a pretty good job. (Sorry, Correia, that was just too good to pass up.) Seriously, given the S/N ratio inherent in a place like this, our moderators do a good job, and...

    How is a mortar aimed?

    And they don't go "toonk" like you hear in the movies. Eighty-ones are loud! I've got the tinitus to prove it. Sixties aren't far behind in sound level.

    Firearm purchase denied/Q's on ID

    In Oregon they do a change of address on a driver's license for free. I'm betting Iowa does much the same thing, or perhaps with a minor charge. Even so, why didn't they accept the passport? Perhaps the clerk has some sort of fixation on the DL as the only acceptable form of ID. Strange.

    For those who say Fred Thompson is anti-gun

    Well put, Silver Bullet. But it I'm afraid it falls on deaf ears with the "My guy and nobody else", absolutists around here.

    Odd Phone Call Today

    It's pretty clear from your responses that you intend to play tough guy and be there when this individual arrives. Too bad, because it looks like a "film at 11:00" event is about to occur. This thing stinks to high heaven. You have heard from folks with experience in such matters that it is...
