I am nuetral in open carry and can see both sides. If all are allowed to open carry how does LEO identify those that can not legally own a firearm? What's to say gangs do not begin open carrying to "protect" their turf? Furthermore, how are officers supposed to go about questioning those ...

I'm not certain about over in this particular area, but in the US, ATC might not have primary radar coverage of an area. What they rely upon is the aircraft to have a transponder. The transponder receives a signal from some other transmitter and then responds with the squawk code that is set on the ...

I believe that they have switched to air rifles these days.

But this begs the question:

Are they truly retreating or are they withdrawing in order to regroup?

If you pursue the enemy, you might be led into a trap. Taking a few pot shots at them as they were retreating was always acceptable "back in the day".

The next thing you know, they will be wanting to ban the JROTC drill teams because they "wantonly toss rifles into the air with complete disregard to the safety of others around them". The fact that those drill rifles are inoperable is beside the point. It's "for the children", y...

I like Dragonfighter's response. If they are fleeing after a break and enter or even if they have my laptop, I would let them go. Laptop is cheaper than the attorney bill. If, however, they have harmed someone in my family and are then fleeing all bets are off. Let's say that someone comes up, stab...

At what point does this madness stop, and how do we deal with these petty bureaucrooks who deprive people of their rights in spite of having lost the case in court? Can these people continue to deny rights to applicants by narrowly defining certain parts of the laws while ignoring the laws that &qu...

Yeah and I asked her three times before she agreed to marry me, why couldn't I just take the first rejection and go on? Gotta love them. Sounds like some of the software installation dialogs that I've seen before it does something that could really trash your filesystem. "Are you sure?" &...

I am a "salty old GM" myself, and I can assure that despite being about 2200 pounds, those projectiles will not level an entire city block. And since a minute of angle miss at 20 miles is more than 300 yards, most of the long range shooting with the 16"/50 rifles was left to the ball...

One of the articles I read said it was not the first time so I assumed they did it often but you are correct, I have no idea since I'm not a neighbor... "Family members say Jasmine continues to improve in a Dallas hospital and should be sent home in a few days. They say it’s not the first time...

And I think that leftists should be required to register so that we can put them in ghettos like the Germans did the Jews.

How about we compromise? If they will leave my guns alone, I'll quit saying that they need to be put in ghettos... Fair enough?

What normally happens, especially at the federal level, when taxes are cut, fees are raised. Yes, lower cost would probably result in higher numbers of CHL. However, the state does not necessarilty consider CHL as a right so you must pay a fee for a service. The service is allowing you a license to...

Again, many courthouses prohibit camera phones. I've worked on various classified projects on DoD contracts over the years that had prohibitions on cameras being carried into the secure area. This also included camera phones. Even a few years ago, it was getting rather difficult to be able to find ...
