[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352157408' post='839603'] Okay...at first blush, I don't see this as some big breech of this marine's rights. Regardless of our "rights" and regardless of whether the state we are in at the moment does or doesn't allow open carry and/or constitutional carry; I don't think it should be difficult to understand that when an officer stops us, whether he was or wasn't justified in doing so, it's not unreasonable that the officer may be concerned about the fact that we are armed and may be overly cautious. I guess what I'm saying is that both this marine and this officer could benefit from some relaxation techniques. In the meantime; I'll listen to this again...maybe I missed something. [/quote] Next time you're handcuffed for nearly an hour by an officer who admits you committed no crime come back and tell me YOUR rights weren't breached.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352130478' post='839360'] It's called modern day slavery, Gordon. The government hands out money or services with very little requirement or qualification to keep people off the employment list. Many takers, quite a few criminals and cheats in there. Money paid out by the government essentially equates to power for those handing it out, wealth redistribution. It's even being paid for with borrowed money with no chance of being repaid. Obama's and other liberals way of "fundamentally transforming our nation" Just one way, though. It started out maybe(I doubt it) with good intentions and morphed into something evil. And that doesn't include free Obamaphones and other political trickery. [/quote] What has happened is that it was given out to some, those who really needed it. And it slowly went from the poor needy people who are actually in need to those who don't need it but just want it and are willing to lie to get it. It is the entitlement generation that believes they are entitled to the prosperity of those who worked hard before them. I have actually heard one of them say that someone else worked really hard so they didn't have to. There are several things that need to be done to weed out the fat. First, require them to take a drug test when they apply and then at least once annually. If you are so poor you need public money then the public has a right to ensure that money is not supporting illegal activities. 1st offense you lose the funds for one month. Next time is six months. A third time would remove you from the rolls indefinitely. Second, they need to require them to perform some sort of public service. I know our highways could use a good cleaning of litter. Paint or clean up buildings or empty lots in their neighborhoods. Or maybe answer the phone of a government office to answer the most common question of all "Are you open". Third, publish a by name list of those who receive public assistance. Nothing more than a name and the town in which they live. People should be embarrased to receive public money in lieu of working. Fourth, get rid of the automatic renewal system. Make the recipients come down to have their cards refilled and maybe take a drug test. And remove the ability to get unhealthy foods when using public funds. I was in a fast food restaurant the other day that accepted EBT cards. Fifth, set a lifetime limit of say 4 years. That is you can only receive 48 months of public assistance during your life. If you choose to use it while you are 18-22 then you can never get it again. Everyone gets to a point in their life in which they could apply for governement assistance. And that is what it is for and not for those who receive it their entire lives and enver work. And finally, require an ID proving citizenship in order to receive anything. If you are not here legally you get NOTHING. Dolomite

"I don't like someone with a gun" That says it all right there. And the only one being confrontational was the cop. Period. Why do some LEOs have such an issue with a citizen knowing and exercising his rights? Is it little man syndrome, or is it just that they believe that a citizen should just do whatever they say without questioning it, whether it violates someone's constitutional rights or not?

Ghetto trash dress that way an they are all animals. The fact that they relieve themselves like animals comes as no surprise.

Does a Police Officer have the right to detain or disarm a person they perceive as a threat? I don’t know if the SCOTUS has ever answered that question or not. That will be the question that will need to be answered in his civil case, if there is one. If I ask a person if they have any weapons and they responded with the kind of BS this guy did; I am in fear for my safety and he would be in cuffs. If he wanted to sue me, or my department wanted to fire me; so be it. The guy was obliviously trying to set the cop up for a lawsuit. The mistake the cop made was trying to reason with the guy when it was obvious he wasn’t interested in hearing it. The cop should have cuffed him, ran his checks, waited on his back-up, wrote him, warned him or whatever he was going to do and then let him go. All that conversation about rights, Officer safety and the Constitution was not necessary. The other mistake the cop made was stopping the guy before he had a violation. He already had PC for a stop (citizens complaint), but I wouldn’t stop him until I had witnessed a violation. And why does “Marine Helo Pilot” have anything to do with it? Would something be different if it was a “Dirt bag on a motorcycle”? From listening to the audio; both descriptions apply.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352158265' post='839612'] So are you suggesting that so long as a source says what you need it to say, it doesn't matter where it comes from or what their bias might be?

ROTFLMAO [/quote] Folks hear what they wanna hear. I'm worn out on the whole damn thing. If somebody bought the picture the Obama campaign painted of Romney, they're just not gonna see it any other way. The 6 billion dollar election cycle did its magic.

I'm preparing for both ends of the spectrum. If Mitt wins, I get to play plinko from my roof top. If Obama wins I have candy and popcorn to eat and plastic to cover my electronics while I watch all of the heads of Obama opponents spontaneously combust.

With the impending riots I was surprised that the range wasn't at full capacity today. Everyone must have been at home fortifying their fighting positions.

I could be wrong but I'm thinking the vast majority of the people threatening a riot are a bunch of college age libtard pu$&ys who wouldn't even begin to actually try anything remotely resembling a riot. The rest may actually do something but as others have said they won't even leave outside of a three block radius to the nearest check cashing liquor store. I'm not at all concerned, we're ready at our house just in case. I do wish there were some good riots happening actually, a lot of wanna be thug suburban white kids with an "eff the police, anarchy for America, I'm BA" type attitude I'd like to round up and drop off. Love to see how they feel if they make it out.

4 more years of Obama and it won't matter who we elect. Obamacare will be entrenched, destroying quality healthcare in this country, and coincidentally acting as another boat anchor on the remnants of employment. EPA regs now being written will be in force, terminating coal production. Price of electricity will triple, even with the rolling brownouts we will have due to loss of generating capacity. Oil and natural gas production will take serious hits, we will see $7 -$10 gas. There will be wars, and rumors of wars, because this country will no longer be an effective force in foreign affairs. Inflation will ramp up. The nation will drop to, possibly, AA credit rating or worse. A Weimar scenario will be a strong possibility. New gun control regulations (not legislation, as it couldn't get through the house) will just be the opening salvo of his attack on Constitutional freedoms. Look for restrictions on speech, economic activity, right to privacy, right to property.

As to the debates, I don't want to see a presidential debate with 10 candidates who, if you took the eight who were not the R or D nominee and combined their votes together, they won't get more than 1-2% of the vote - why the hell would I want to wast time hearing them in a debate.

People have a right to vote for anyone they want but the idea of a "protest vote" is about as ill-conceived as a screen door on a submarine...I guess it just goes to prove that some folks would rather believe in fairy tales than get their hands dirty doing the real work of effecting change. If anyone thinks voting for some meaningless third-party hack or writing in someone who isn't even good enough to be picked up by a third party is going to make a difference to the "two party system" or make "Republicans take notice" they are fooling only themselves (assuming they actually believe it). If Obama wins reelection, either because you voted for him or effectively voted for him then we'll all be getting exactly the kind of country we deserve.

Surprise Surprise. Im sorry you go over here and risk your life and no you cant vote to remove me. And I agree about the internet voting thats just plain stupid.

I am concerned that more and more we see officers that would rather treat every citizen as a suspect rather than a fellow citizen. Police are civilians too. They need to realize that just because someone is armed does not equate to reasonable suspicion or probable cause for anything. The fact that the supervisor ordered him released tells me there wasn't anything to it more than likely - officers have a litany of things they can arrest for if they are angry. Some police I think are scared of citizens from the time they go onto the road until they come off. That is unhealthy for them as well as society.

I have said it before, LEOs job is to ask questions, just answer then. Dont lie, dont have a bad attatude, and you will be on your way in no time.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352148527' post='839500'] Not to get off topic but even though I've asked the question of proponents of repeal of the (I believe) 17th amendment, no one has been able to demonstrate to me that the legislature of each sate choosing its senators would provide "better" senators than we have gotten by electing them. [/quote] The State Legislature had the ability to appoint, or recall at their whim, (or more correctly, the electorate's whim), the Senators.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352067671' post='839063'] It isn't a fact just because someone posts their opinion. Quiet Dan already posted more relevant tidbits of information than saying all of those things you want to say are faulted by the last governor. There are more relevant pieces of information out there that will include demographic and economic shifts. MA is decidedly liberal if you haven't forgot. Romney was the governor. He had to deal with what the people of that state wanted, which I'm sure you and I wouldn't have wanted to deal with or live by. [/quote] It isn't an opinion. It is fact. [quote] [indent=1] [b]1. Ranked 47th in job growth[/b]: Despite Romney’s professed expertise in creating jobs, Massachusetts [url="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/06/02/232040/romney-obama-massachusetts-jobs/"]ranked 47th in job growth[/url] during his time as governor. The state’s total job growth was just 0.9 percent, well behind other high-wage, high-skill economies in New York (2.7), California (4.7), and North Carolina (7.6). The national average, meanwhile, was better than 5 percent. [b]2. Suffered the second-largest labor force decline in the nation[/b]: Only Louisiana, which was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, saw a bigger decline in its labor force than Massachusetts during Romney’s tenure as governor. The US Census Bureau estimated that between July 2002 and July 2006, 222,000 more residents left Massachusetts for other states than came to it. That decline largely explains the state’s decreasing unemployment rate (from 5.6 to 4.7 percent) while Romney was in office, according to Northeastern University economics professor Andrew Sum. At the same time, the nation as a whole [url="http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2007/07/29/romneys_economic_record/"]added 8 million[/url] people to the labor force. [b]3.

The loss was double the rate that the nation as a whole lost manufacturing jobs. In 2004, Romney vetoed legislation that would have banned companies doing business with the state from outsourcing jobs to other countries. [b]4. Experienced “below average” economic growth and was “often near the bottom”[/b]: “There was not one measure where the state did well under his term in office. We were [url="http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/02/08/421055/massachusetts-economy-romney-below-average/"]below average and often near the bottom[/url],” Sum told the Washington Post in February. As a result, the state was more comparable to Rust Belt states like Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio than it was to other high-tech economies it typically competes with. [b]5. Piled on more debt than any other state[/b]: Romney left Massachusetts residents with $10,504 in per capita bond debt, the [url="http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/05/16/485035/romney-debt-massachusetts/"]highest of any state[/url] in the nation when he left office in 2007. The state ranked second in debt as a percentage of personal income. Romney regularly omits those statistics from his Massachusetts record, instead touting the fact that he balanced the state’s budget (he was constitutionally required to do so).[/indent] [/quote] [url="http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/06/04/494282/5-facts-about-the-massachusetts-economy-under-mitt-romney/?mobile=nc"]http://thinkprogress...mney/?mobile=nc[/url] [quote][i]Census[/i] Bureau estimated 222,000 thousand residents [i]left Massachusetts[/i] for other states than came into it.[/quote] Now, before you pile on me for the links.... they were simply the first in google search. You can search yourself if you do not believe these facts. They are admittedly biased against Mittens but the numbers are still correct. Saying this stuff isn't his fault because Massachusetts is so liberal is nothing more than apologist excuse. He left Massachusetts with these problems while not even California or New York saw the same numbers.

Tennessee pulled his HCP saying he was a potential threat; so the FEDS gave him FFL. So much for the FEDS taking background checks seriously.

Two planks of the platform are for me a deal breaker.

(2) I will not support the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. I won't bother you with the reasons, only to say that my wife is a medical professional and I trust her judgment on this issue as well. Lest you think I'm whistling past the Republican graveyard, rest assured I have concerns with their policies as well, but there are none so reckless as the two mentioned above. Money wastefully spent can be restored through better management, lives thrown away are irreplaceable.

Wifey got me an M&P 40 for my berfday a few weeks ago and I finally got to wring it out today at the Hobson Pike range! I fed it about 50 rds of WWB first, then 100 of my reloads with Berry's 165gr plated bullets, then 150 more reloads with Zero 165gr JHPs, followed by 50 Winchester 180gr bonded JHPs. One small hiccup that[i] [/i]I attribute to having a bad grip after a fast reload, but other than that the gun was great! I have been shooting revolvers pretty much exclusively for the last 4-5 years and I was pretty disgusted with my accuracy at first. I put down the M&P and picked up my .38 and .44 and was right back in the zone again. I went back to the M&P and then realized I had horrible trigger control for that slightly longer, more awkward striker-fired trigger pull. (I usually shoot the revos in SA) I slowed down, focused on the follow-through and was cloverleafing again in no time. :-) Aaaaahhhhhhh.... that's more like it! Here's the group of friends that accompanied me today: [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/musicman2705/2012-11-03_15-24-29_218.jpg[/img] and a faster-but-not-quite-rapid-fire target from the 5 yd line: [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/musicman2705/2012-11-03_15-24-41_191.jpg[/img] As always, I met some great people at the range. I told two newer shooters, Zack and Andreas, about TGO (hope they read this.. Hi!) and got to introduce them both to the world of revolvers. Neither had ever shot one before! I guess revolvers are like typewriters these days, huh? I got to shoot another dude's .54 black powder pistol. I was about 8" high, but my horizontal axis was perfect!! Oh, and the weather was PERFECT!!! Nice lightly cloudy blue sky and a cool breeze. It was better than any indoor range I've been in! This was my second trip to the Hobson Pike range. My first trip was an awful one, and I haven't gone back in over 7 years but I decided to give it a try today because I'm a cheapskate now. It was a good decision.

This has been a nail-biter of an election. Since I have already voted, it doesn't matter much what I think of one candidate or the other. I have now left the ultimate decision before God Almighty, Who gives authority and takes it away. I ask Him to weigh both candidates in the balance and judge their hearts. I firmly believe that God loves righteousness and hates evil, therefore I pray that He will reward the man with the character most like His to be given the office for the next four years. It's the best "not my will, but thine be done" kind of prayer I can muster. It also relieves me of a lot of anxiety, as I also believe that God will not forsake them that are His.

That's just stupid. If Obama wins in a land slide, the people making those post still won't take care of their own affairs. Obama won't acknowledge them again until he is campaigning for the next democratic nominee. The belief that people allow themselves to have in politicians makes my head hurt.

[quote name='Erik88' timestamp='1351908060' post='838099'] Mav, hate to say it but Americans were stupid enough to elect him once I have no doubts they will do it again. Hell, we're the country that finds entertainment in watching Jersey Shore... [/quote] There is some true in that. However, the 2008 election was a little different. Obama was a pretty much an unknown in 2008 even though all a person had to do was a little research and they could have found a plethora of information on him. McCain was a very weak opponent with extremely hawkish views, and Americans were becoming war weary. You also have to consider that there were a lot of people who voted for Obama solely on melanin content to prove to themselves and others that they were not racist. While none of the above are good excuses, I will give people a pass on 2008. In this election, none of those reasons are valid. Four years has been more than enough time to see who Obama is and what his views truly are. If they can't see that Obama has been a disaster, they are either stupid, on the take (personally benefiting from government largess), or they are partisan.

Yep, called "conditional proceed". "What is a Conditional Proceed? If during the background check TICS locates a record with outstanding disqualifying charges or charges that are undeterminable as disqualifying, TICS will deny the transaction. Upon an appeal of the denial, TICS will attempt to find disposition information on the charges in order to make a determination of eligibility to purchase a firearm. If TICS cannot obtain the information within the mandatory 15 day limit, the transaction will be marked as a Conditional Proceed. This means that the firearm dealer may lawfully, at his/her discretion, complete the transfer, although it in no way means that the dealer must complete the transfer. Should the dealer choose not to complete the transfer, your only appeal is to the FBI's NICS Appeals Services Unit. You may contact them at (877) 324-6427." - OS
