  4. Fvck Haslem! Who is he to decide that adults cannot have the most current tool to defend themselves. All that will happen if a bill is passed regarding guns in cars is HCP holders will get screwed.

  5. [quote name='peejman' timestamp='1354732877' post='855309'] That makes the outrage a little more sensible. Physically unable is one thing, mentally unable is something very different. The article specifically states "declared mentally incompetent". I interpret that as similar to my great aunt who had Parkinson's and mild dementia and couldn't care for herself anymore. [/quote] I'm sure that the majority of these cases are folks who are elderly and suffering from dementia, but "mentally incompetent" to the point of requiring a fiduciary could be someone in a coma, severely disabled from injury or someone hospitalized from severe depression. The VA has to authorize someone to take the benefits, so "mentally incompetent" could mean a range of things. Either way, the decision to bar someone from purchasing a firearm should not be made by a third rate clerk in the VA. That's what courtrooms are for. If a judge wants to make that call based on the recommendations of doctors, then fine. But to have your rights decided by a third party is criminal and un-Constitutional.

  6. Not sure how this equates to the GOP "absorbing" the Tea Party. The "Tea Party" isn't one person or one group of elected Congressmen/Senators...it's a movement of tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of individual people who agree on certain basic and central principles such as small government, low taxes and not spending money you don't have. Removing four congressmen from committee leadership can't kill the Tea Party nor erase the ideals the brought people together. The GOP is in its death throws. The structure of a party is needed for any number of administrative needs but the more power that the Republican power structure tries to control the less relevant it becomes overall...most of the "Republicans" I know (and at nearly 60 years old I know quite a few) who hold to similar principles as I do no longer identify themselves as "Republicans" at all and I only see that continuing with moves like this. In other words, I think the ideals that brought people together under the "Tea Party" banner are alive and will continue to be so no matter what the GOP power brokers do - the 2010 crop of "Tea Party" Representatives are just as committed to those ideals as they ever have been.

  7. Good grief, are cops the only ones with discretion? [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y111/TourGlide/Web%20Stuff/biggrin.gif[/img] As a cop it was up to me if you got arrested or not (except for felonies, DV, or DUI). If I agreed with why you broke the law; I could let you go. I would think store managers have some discretion when it comes to Company Policy. The conversation should have gone something like this… Store Manager: You violated Company policy, so you can’t be employee of the month this month. You were free and clear and could have left the night Manager for dead meat; but you didn’t. I think your actions may well have saved both his live and yours. You proved that you can do the right thing under extreme pressure. So I’m giving you a raise. Employee: Okay, thank you. Store Manager: We’ll talk next month about the employee of the month thing. Oh and BTW, next time you engage an Armed Robber; kill him, don’t let him run off.

  8. I am excited, so I gotta share. I decided that my 9mms were just fine for the urban jungle, but that I would like to have something larger for the woods as my wife and I have gotten into bushcraft pretty heavy. I was carrying my Storm Subcompact with +P+ ammo, but I really wanted something more classic. I wanted a magnum. Did I need a magnum? No, but what does that matter? [img]http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy144/Booberspics/WIL_7296.jpg[/img] This is my new to me Ruger GP100 4". I love this thing. It's a bit of a hoss, but perfect for the woods. I traded for it even up, giving up my Beretta 92FS. All in all I feel I traded well. Now to just find a holster for this cannon. LOL

  11. I tend to judge people on two things... 1. What they've done (not rumors about what they've done but what is actually known as fact), and 2. Who they hang around with (and by default who is willing to hang around them) I've read the official published report on the "incident" James mentioned, and the only people who seem to have a problem with James weren't there, don't know him and haven't trained with him. Further, when people like Tom Givens chooses to train with James and James has been invited to teach at Range Masters and at Thunder Ranch (with Clint Smith) (at least if I remember correctly) I'd say he is in pretty good company. Folks like Tom Givens and Clint Smith don't invite cowards to train at their facilities.

  17. I am wondering if Maggert losing her primary has anything to do with this. You all may be right. Ramsey plays good guy for a run at Haslam's job when his two terms are up and Harwell plays to block the bill so Ramsey can keep his hands clean. This is where we as a whole need to keep to the grindstone and let our Reps know that we want this bill and end Harwells career if we can. Let the RINOs know how we feel. JTM Sent from my iPhone

  18. [quote name='MississippiBoy' timestamp='1354736983' post='855331'] They already state that non-student adults can have a firearm in their car on campus, why exclude schools from this issue. [/quote] Why should those schools be able to terminate employees for being in compliance with that law? Especially those who take state assistance. You know, [i]your[/i] money. Why should adult students not be able to do the same? Why should a student or non-student HCP holder not be able to have loaded firearm kept in vehicle? - OS

  24. Here's a feeble picture. Turns out that Able didn't really have the gun in stock, so in a panic, I hit the Bass Pro. They have them on sale right now, even tho it doesn't show on their web site. The guy at the counter didn't even know they had them, and had to dig it out of the back room. Able was cool about the order cancellation. I paid a little more money, but didn't want to get caught up in the Obama frenzy and wind up with NO gun. The picture doesn't do it justice. Nice shootin' iron! [img]http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac195/mikegideon1/IMG_0829a.jpg[/img]

  26. Jason Whitlock is a childish hack with no notion of what principles this country wuz founded on or anything else for that matter. I think it is hilarious that a son of perdition like Whitlock would presume to lecture anyone about anything; much less call them names and attempt to draw comparisons on any subject . The real "kkk" characters in this story are the socialist political elites who have enslaved the black and poor commuities by tellin them they dont need men, sellin 'em dope, and keepin them on the dole. The "worshipers" and users of the sports world who have elevated these thugs to godlike status and provided cover for their irresponsible actions; and the appologisers who say "its too hard to be a star". I say:"...let 'em reap the harvest". No one with a sintilla of intellect is goin to believe his jiberish anyway. leroy

  36. For me it's more about the fact that they fired the guy than the policy they have for their employees. It's clear that he was respecting their rules since the gun was in his truck. I mean he more than likely saved a guys life AND the store a few bucks. And sadly you are probably right.

  39. The people that are standing behind this decision need to be outed publicly by name. This man was not violating a policy; he was saving another mans life. No more AutoZone for me.... of course they won't care. The good news is though, because of this story he will probably get a better job. Not many people could do what he did under that kind of stress.
