Re: TN: No place but Tennessee

The response of the Nashville police stands in sharp contrast to the shameful response of law enforcement in Uvalde.

My local H.E.B. has a new 30.05 sign, along with the existing 30.07 sign.

Gang-related? Well, yes. Looks like a biker gang incident.

Re: Any updates?

Anyone concerned that, if this becomes law, it will, like open carry, trigger many more businesses to post 30.06 signs or otherwise prohibit carry on their property, licensed or not? The number of places that I can carry actually decreased after open carry passed, because many places posted 30.06/30...

Re: No place but Minneapolis

Another example of officers out of control. And then there's the black Army Lt. Well, I heard on the news today that he kept driving, slowly, for two minutes after the police first lit him up. He then refused to get out of the car when asked by officers. It seems that there might be another side to...

Re: No place but Minneapolis

The officer’s body cam clearly shows the Glock extended, with her finger on the trigger, for several seconds before she fired. I guess she couldn’t tell a Glock from a taser, or her right hand from her left hand, or maybe her backside from a hole in the ground. One has to wonder about the Brooklyn C...

Re: Contact shot, blast damage?

This article should answer the question. So the residual blast can be fatal by itself it would seem. Craziness. Didn’t Brandon Lee die from blanks somehow? No, Bruce Lee reportedly died from an allergic reaction to a painkiller he had taken for headaches. Four cases of death by blank, including Bra...

Well, Trump must have misunderstood, too. Instead of a kraken, in Powell and Giuliani, he just released a couple of crackers.

Re: 11th Circuit re-affirms "no duty to protect" re: Parkland shootings.
