Re: LTC License Validation Website

I'm not entering my number into that thing since I know it's valid. However, for those that have, after you enter it what happens? Does it only indicate validity or does it also give any other personal information? If it does I don't like that AT ALL. It won't take long for someone to set something...

Re: Morman Bloodbath in Mexico

IMHO, it is time to stop the sarcastic, funny saber rattling on this tragedy. Yes, the Mormon clan/cult/whatever, moved down there to escape what they perceived as some kind of oppression. Yes, this was an internal matter between the Sovereign State of Mexico, and the statewide, epidemic drug cartel...

Re: Global Warming/Global Cooling/Climate Change

So what else is new? This debate/argument/discussion has been going on since Al Gore had been declaring it, and others, since 1992.

Nothing here that's news worthy. Move on.

Re: Nov 5 2019 Elections-issues important to firearms owners?

Yes, definitely. Among the 15 or so items up for voting, IMO the most important one is to vote yes, for the continued prohibition of a State Income Tax. We've never had one, and I don't see the need for one. But read carefully. It's worded strangely. Another, though not impacting me directly, or ver...
