Re: IN: OC, Being the Designated Criminal, Unfriendly Cops

They both address the issues of Constitutional rights and the rights of a Property owner. If a homeowner can restrict me from entering their property armed (and though I might find it distasteful, it is indeed their right), why couldn't they restrict me from entering with a copy of the Koran? Actua...

Re: What is the Penal Code?

If there's no penalty, why do they even have it in there still? It was a quirk of the 2009 legislative session. As I recall, there was a bill to remove the requirement entirely, but it (and a lot of other good stuff) got tied up when fights over unrelated legislation stalled a number of bills. Gov ...

Re: Good Shoot: CHL shoots robber on gas station video.

I can find no articles about the arrest, just the booking link above, and Jumping Frog's comment on it being a misdemeanor. As noted, under Ohio law carrying a concealed weapon without license (or under a few other exceptions) is a midemeanor unless the weapon is a loaded firearm or the ammunition i...

... Extend the sequence for additional BG's with 1 round each until engaging the last, then continue the exercise in reverse. Repeat as necessary. If you want to really make it exciting, picture doing this with a .380 Kel Tech or a snubby .38 as your EDC.... :mrgreen: Which is why my snubs & ke...

Re: Lori Klein, AZ State Senator, Pointed Loaded Gun At Repo

What a dilemma. Did a politician do something dumb? Or did a journalist slant his story to make the pol look like an idiot? :confused5

Glenn Reynolds was right. Politicians should make that when interviewed, they WHOLE interview is video recorded with their own equipment.

Re: Prince.... WHAT? AWESOME.

He is generally not my cup of tea, altho I do find some of his songs catchy. He is definitely a showman and knows how to attract attention, but since AFAIK he has managed to do this without flaunting massive drug or alcohol abuse, felonies, or messing with little kids, he's OK by me.

Re: For those who have declared firearms at the airport...

I have flown my gun numerous times. Most times I was told to put the declaration card inside the handgun case. But quite a few times I was told to put it on top of the handgun case. Most times the card was orange. Some times the card was white. I did whatever I was told with what I was given, and it...
