General Discussion / Re: Another Arizona Cop Story
« on: April 16, 2015, 11:38:29 PM »
Although I am not 100% against using  the car as a weapon, I think the reckless way in which he plowed through him and the wall is pretty dangerous.  The officer had 0 idea of what was on the other side of that wall.  And what happens when he misses? Luckily he stop the guy but what if he sees the cruiser and jumps behind the truck to his left. Then what? I think it was reckless. Just my opinion.

General Discussion / Re: Fatal Shooting at Airozna Cottonwood Walmart

And by even mentioning the race and saying thankfully they were white you played the race card anyway. Good job! It was a good summary up to that unnecessary bit of information. Much like the news stations you added unnecessary racial bias.

The state they were sold in. Not the state of residence of the purchaser. Correct?

Legal and Activism / Ban on FFL handguns sales to nonresidents struck down!
« on: February 14, 2015, 03:38:01 PM »
My understanding is that if this ruling is upheld you will be able to buy a handgun out-of-state of residency, but that handgun must conform to all the laws of your state of residency. With so many complex rules about exactly what is or isn't lawful, or how many "features" (barrel length, mag capacity, overall weight, mag well placement, etc., etc.) of what kind are or are not allowed in different states, it's no wonder that an FFL would be unwilling to risk their license by selling something that is illegal under, say California's prohibited list. I'd guess you'd have to be an attorney studying all those state laws full-time to render an accurate opinion on every gun that might be returning to every state.

At that point isn't it the buyers responsibility to know what he is bringing into the state where the law Is concerned? The FFL is only responsible for the laws in the state in which the transaction takes place. As long as the firearm is sold legally in Tx, then it's your problem if it's illegal in Hawaii when you try to register it here. This is no different than current laws other than allowing you to buy in another state and alleviate the second FFL transfer.

Much like how PCSing military have to verify they are not breaking any laws every time we move.

And that has what to do with a wedding?

Just further re-enforcing my point that because of the dislike held for him, people look for every reason possible to bad mouth him. I'm not saying you should like him. Or support him. Or agree with everything he does. But not everything requires flaming him. Sure there are political reasons to dislike every president. But it's a flipping wedding that got moved to a nicer setting at the same venue. It was probably a more expensive location that they couldn't afford to begin with. Hell, he probably did them a favor and so many people are mad and flaming him or the least significant event in his presidency. Why?

It's a character issue - not a hate issue.
A good leader would've have changed his venue AND apologized. He would have shown some respect for his subordinates.

Assuming he knew and his staff didn't handle it. Do you really think he personally reads every letter addressed to him? A staffer allowed this to happen and as soon as he knew he apologized. If the wedding party got a better venue and are not upset, why are all of you? Get over it. They have. Find something that actually matters to complain about. Or are you just complaining because it's Obama?

Typical stupid comment. To fit the subject, "par for the course".

Show some respect for your elected official
and save the bitching for something significant.  Not a wedding that the actual parties who matter don't care about.

It's not a threadjack. I was on topic. Get over the wedding issue. It's not a big deal.

Amazing you speak for all. I never back tracked on my opinion. I said from the start that this is no reason to get your panties in a bunch. Grow up. There is no "supporting info" needed to show that this is not worth the energy you are willing to assert to discredit the President of the United States. Again, get over it.

In response to all. I am referring to this situation. Let it go. I never said I support him. In the situation referenced, he did nothing wrong. Get over it.

Ah, good.  Another Obola voter exposes themselves.

Always nice to know who they are.

How about a supporter of the process that elected our president. Whether I agree with his politics or voted for him is not the discussion. It's the blatant disrespect at every turn regardless how insignificant the subject. More Americans voted for him than didn't. That is the process we live in. Accept it or buy a private island where you determine who is in charge. Or go live in another country. But stop the blatant hate for no reason.

And a military member has every right to say we are upset that we had to move our wedding. Regardless of who it was for. So of they said they were not upset, they were not upset. And they got a better venue just a few feet away. What's the problem? Same course. Different place on it.
13
So let me make sure I understand...

The couple moved the wedding to a nicer part of the course and got a personal call from the president at their wedding...

And you are bad mouthing him? They had a nicer more memorable wedding and they are not upset yet you all are acting like he ruined their big day. You all are more upset about it then the happy couple. Does that make sense? Because it certainly doesn't to me.

Who cares they had to move it. They got a nicer more memorable wedding because of it. Get over yourselves and this hate for the president.

I am especially impressed by him trying to discredit the reporter vs clarifying the real reason they need it. That was pretty good.

Well you answered it. I misread your previous post. That makes sense to me. If a person is trained and military (which implies a certain level of trust and good standing in the community) then the states requirements are almost trivial at that point.

I still feel that some sort of documentation should be required. To say that every 18 year old military member is qualified to CCW is an assumption I would not be comfortable with. I would still like to see proof of a course as documented by a permit. Just my opinion. 

And to that end, I would feel differently if all states were gun friendly and you could reasonably expect that most people had been exposed to the safe handling of firearms prior to joining the military.

State moves to exempt active military from concealed carry requirements

As part of an overall reform to Ohio’s concealed carry guidelines, lawmakers have amended a pending gun bill to allow active duty military in the state to carry without a permit.


Makes sense to me. Although I would still like to see some sort of permit process that requires a basic handgun safety course. Not all military personnel get handgun training.

All of the recent incidents of Americans being beheaded and shot by ISIS and others in the name of Islam (Oklahoma woman beheaded at work, NY ax attack by converted Muslim, ...) have not been active military.

Need to expand the population needing CCW to ALL Americans facing this real and present danger.

Statistically you're at much higher risk of dying from so many other things than being murdered by an Islamic terrorist in your own country.  This, however, does not mean you will not encounter a different version of that violent threat, and you'll be glad you were armed at that moment!


Although you are correct, that does not change the fact that the law requires justification. If a DOD and FBI warning doesn't meet the intent of the law, then what does? In my opinion, you will not find better justification than this. Although people face threats everyday from ex lovers or people close to them that are real and result in loss of life, they are often hard to prove as there is no proof other than word of mouth. An FBI warning, in the other hand, is as credible as it gets.

Legal and Activism / CCW, the military, and ISIS
« on: December 06, 2014, 11:19:44 AM »
Based on recent reports by all major news outlets, it would seem that all military personnel have been targeted by the known dangerous organization ISIS. Based on this states requirement to show "justification" for a CCW, shouldn't this be enough? It doesn't get more clear than the U.S. Government saying this is a credible threat to all U.S. Forces. We are not talking about an angry boyfriend or pissed off neighbor. This is an organized terrorist organization. Thoughts?

That was a complete and total waste of words. How can that even be considered a definition or explanation? She said nothing.
