So how many of you...

So how many of you have heard the term Bar Room Lawyer?

I have.

It's a term that someone who wants to dispense unlicensed legal advice uses to attack someone who disagrees with him.

For what it's worth, I've found police officers to be spectacularly poor sources of legal information.

you guys are only about 45 min from college station.

Nice hijack.

Nick, which roads are you taking to get to Spring in 45 minutes? I went to College Station Wednesday night and again Thursday night and it took right around 1 1/4 hrs from here to the Kroger the far south end of C.S. on Hwy 6, that was taking I45 to Conroe, 105 to Navasota, and Hwy 6 on up. Course it was dark so it was 60-65 all the way. If there's a quicker way could you let me know?

I don't believe that Nick drives quite the speed limit. We go to College Station on a semi regular basis and it takes about an hour maybe a bit more. If anyone is intrested in a road trip to Champions someday let me know.

Actually I wasn't thinking straight - its about 45 or so from navasota (my hometown more or less) so its about an hour and some change from here. I get the times mixed up still even though I've been in the brazos valley for 10 or so years now.

If you guys come, come this week. I leave friday to go to a missionary training program at an organization in Oklahoma City. I'll still be online, but won't be able to see you guys for a LOOOOOONG time. We can shoot and go grab dinner or something.

Also - from spring - Take 45 -> 242 -> 1488 -> 1774 -> 105 -> Hwy 6

This route I just listed is the Hypotenuse of the traingle fromed by 45 and 105...or....in plain english...this is the straightest line between to points.

If y'all wanna do this PM me or email me and we can get something going.

PS - if you come up here on a semi regular basis why hasn't my phone been ringing?

I was there again this morning, Gigag04. (Third time in 5 days) I considered pm'ing you to get a phone number but I was in a rush to get there (refrigeration problems at a store), and didn't have much time to wait around. Unfortunately, I probably won't make it up this week, back to my normal M-F 8:00-4:00 shift. Missionary training program, huh? Your a good man, Nick. Takes a strong person to perform that calling. We'll keep you in our prayers!

What you say is true.

Geez! I started this thread to joke about myself being called a bar room lawyer thirty years ago and look what happens. Some people here must be under a lot of stress.

I figure if I ever get into leagal trouble I am hiring everyone in this Forum as my legal team ( I assume you'll work cheap) If I turn this group lose on a jury they will be begging to aquite me.

On day one we'll throw Chas at them with his 47 display boards of how the law is written.... followed by TX to show them in a live demonstration on how I drew to defend myself. Then I am thinking a couple of stories for One-Eye will will close up day one.......

No, you started it to attack another member under the guise of a joke about you, but its clear to everyone your intent.

I'll let you in on a tip. When conducting investigations, we pay close attention to the details that people use to describe events. When a person changes those details it is a strong indicator of deception. That's because they are based in lies and not reality. People often have trouble keeping accurate and consistant statements when not being honest.

Talking to a cop 20 years ago was a personal attack? I didn't know.

Twenty years ago that cop was calling me a bar room lawyer
