No way, if she wants to open a safe she can get her own. No one else knows it. A man has a right to some privacy.

-1, really? Guess I need sensitivity training. Already had my granola and soy milk,

Hang on a minute. It's a known fact that carrying skittles is almost like carrying a bible. The evilness of all your guns is interfering with your logic. Probably makes you hate black folks too. Suggest you have a bowl of granola, a glass of soy milk, and rethink your position.

Zimmerman is driving to the grocery store. Notices Martin (who appears to be adult) going from patio to patio. NOT WALKING DOWN THE STREET. Martin sees Z watching him, raises his hoody and runs for the bushes. Z is already on the phone with 911. Gets out of his truck (because Martin IS NOT walking down the street) to keep Martin in sight or see which way he went - in order to advise the police. When the operator tells him they don't need him to follow, he turns around and heads back to truck. Mall Ninja? Guess I am one too, I would do the same thing. Almost everything else (including the iced tea and skittles) is bushwa, intended to paint a portrait of an unsuspicious youth on an innocent journey. So. You live in a high-crime neighborhood - lots of break-ins. You see someone unknown to you, going from yard to yard, patio to patio (looking in the sliding glass doors, maybe?) Do you - Call 911 and attempt to keep the individual located until police can arrive on scene (mall ninja, according to some) Ignore it and continue to the grocery store ("responsible" permit holder) What the heck is responsible about seeing a stranger going through your neighbors back yards, running and hiding, and ignoring it?

Sorry, but by believing that Romney would appoint anyone even in the ballpark of either of those two, you'll lost all credence with me as someone who has any basis in political reality at all. I seriously suggest you just stay with your convictions, and not waste time voting for a write in/straggler, or even carping in political forums about your version of the hopeless status quo of US elections, since you'll make zero difference doing either. It may well be that the US is on an inexorable course to crash and burn, regardless of who's at the helm. But that's only a bet one way or the other. What's clear is that there really is a choice of direction in this election. You pays yer money and you takes yer chances, but you can't possibly win if you don't play at all. - OS

Nope, but she can call my little brother in FL and get it, should I wake up dead someday.

From the posts around the forums It seems like you have to be either an Obama loving muslim commie sheeple and believe that socialism is good or you have to be a a Romney loving right wing Nazi raciist who believes that Romney is the second coming of Christ . I am neither one so I guesss I might as well stay home on the first Tuesday in November. i don't have an invite to the party.

If this bill were to pass then you could not tell them that they were forbidden from having a firearm inside their car when the car is parked in your parking lot. You could either tell them they can't park in your lot, period or allow them to park in your lot and accept that they might have a firearm secured, out of sight, in their vehicle. Further, you could still legally tell them that if they choose to store their firearm (private property) inside their car (private property) then it has to stay secured and out of sight inside their vehicle while their vehicle is on your property. You can tell them that they are not allowed to carry the firearm on their person while on your property - these bills do not change that. The way I see it, as long as THEIR gun is in THEIR car it is none of your business as their property is contained inside the boundaries of their property. In other words, to my mind your property rights do not apply within the boundaries/confines of their property. That is what the bill does from a practical standpoint although I don't think that is how it is worded (would be a lot simpler if it were, I believe.) Once the gun leaves the car, however, it is no longer contained inside their property and your property rights - including the right to prohibit the firearm - then apply. Of course, if that irresponsible employee has just decided that today is 'the day' then it really doesn't matter how many laws/rules prohibit him from having a firearm. Strangely enough, people who have decided to commit murder don't seem to really care that it is against 'the rules' for them to have a firearm in a particular location. To me, this whole issue simply underlines the sorry state of relationships between employee and employer in our day and age. First, it seems that many employers are more concerned about a perceived, slight 'infringement' of (non-existent, IMO) property rights than about whether or not their employees can be adequately equipped for self defense on their journey to and from work. Secondly, it shows that some employers seem to think that the term 'employee' equals 'slave' - the employer wants to run the employee's entire life, control parts of the employee's life even when he or she isn't at work, hold dominion over the employee's own, private property and strip the employee of his or her rights while he or she is at work (or, in some cases, even when he or she isn't at work.) Of course, the same employer wants to reserve the right to kick said employee to the curb as soon as 'the bottom line' indicates that such a move is best. There is no loyalty by most employers to their employees any more yet so many employers whine about the lack of employee loyalty - as if they expect employees to be loyal to companies who treat employees as cogs in a wheel, not human beings with both natural and Constitutional rights of their own.

No gun stashing even if they can't reach. I worry more about the older grandson and my carry piece than i do the younger one. At any rate if i am not wearing it the gun is locked in a closet or the safe. The older one shoots and knows not to fool with it. But best to not leave temptation lying around. the older they get the more i worry about a gun and the less careless i am. Kids are just kids. No telling what they might do.

Shhhh. My wife doesn't know I have a safe....

She doesn't, but my eleven year old son does. Is that wrong?

6.8, if you shoot a green, you aren't a racist, you're a Denier... which might actually be worse And it doesn't make you a mall ninja, but undoubtedly you're in the pay of Big Oil.

I heard an interesting take on this issue recently: I hate rap music. I wont allow anyone to play it on my property. But, do I also have a reasonable expectation of preventing them from having a rap CD (otherwise lawfully owned) in the CD sleeve on their sun visor?

A few updates: 1) The No.4 was also made with machined precision sights in addition to a stamped ladder sight and the flip-over two-position. The machined sight is an excellent sight. 2) A comma would help understand SMLE. It is actually "Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield". There was also a "Long, Lee-Enfield" rifle. The word 'short' or 'long' refers to rifle length, not the magazine size. The original military load for the .303 cartridge is a 174gr FMJ bullet at about 2500fps. This is just a hair less powerful than the US .30-06 cartridge, and roughly equal to 8mm Mauser and 7.62x54 Russian. Surplus bullets are tail-heavy and known for violent tumbling when they hit something while still retaining excellent penetration. BTW, in 1916, British Sgt. Snoxall recorded 38 hits on a 12-in. bull at 300 yards in the space of sixty seconds. Tests where the rifle was rapidly loaded in order to fire as many rounds as possible in one minute, dubbed by participants, 'the mad minute'. No other hand-operated bolt action service rifle can claim such a record.

I'll take one please. Reminds me of the Cheytac for some reason.

When I was 11, I went to my friends house to hang out. We were bored and before I knew it, we were in his parents bedroom so he could show off dad's Ruger .44 single action. The gun was in a clear bag taped at the end. My friend proceeded to show me how you can cock the hammer and pull the trigger without opening the bag, so his dad wouldn't find out. He had no idea if the gun was loaded or not, just that he was playing with something forbidden so it must be fun. Luckily the gun was not loaded, or at least not the first two chambers before I told him to stop. At my house, my kids were taught at a very early age that guns are to be respected, however I've taken a slightly different approach. I told them anytime they want to see my guns, just ask. My son had brief interest, so I broke out the guns maybe 3 or 4 times total. My daughter never expressed any interest in seeing them. Right now, the kids are about as excited at seeing my guns as playing with the house keys. My cell phone is far more interesting to them than my 1911. My kids will shoot with me, but the forbidden fruit which always seems to attract kids is gone. When they have friends over, the guns are locked up and out of sight.

I have a 642 and love it for carry. Now you just need a 'full-sized' wheelgun so you can see how much fun they really can be. I have semiautos that I carry and even like but if for some reason I were told I had to either get rid of all my semiautos or all my wheelguns (shudders at the thought), I wouldn't even have to hesitate - the semiautos would be gone.

I'll agree with you. Then I'll add... One wants to disarm us, and one don't. Pretty simple choice to me.

Answer:

Bloomberg is a hypocrite. He denounces second amendment rights while enjoying the protection of his bodyguards. Pfffffttt.

The leader of mayors against civilian gun ownership speaks again.

When you don't beat LSU, you get angry. When you get angry, you buy a Harley. When you buy a Harley, you meet a 25 year old blonde female former college volleyball player. When you meet a 25 year old blonde female former college volleyball player, you invite her to ride on your Harley. When the 25 year old blonde female former college volleyball player rides on your Harley pressed against you, you end up in a roadside ditch. Don't end up in a roadside ditch.
