Well, if you just stopped declaring your drug-pushing proceeds on your federal income tax form, you too would qualify for the EBT.

Awesome! How many sisters does satan have? Sounds like one of my co-workers. . . .

It will all boil down to a cost versus benefit analysis. When the various colleges and universities in the nation begin to understand that their legal liability in the tens of millions of dollars for a shooting on campus is less when they allow on-campus carry by licensed, trustworthy handgun permit holders, then you will have on-campus carry. There is no way that campus police all by themselves can provide the level of protection required without the additional protection that we can provide for ourselves with campus carry. When the stupid intellectuals on campus begin to do the math, then campus carry will start taking place, and not before.

That's a fact. And the fact that they are means that at some base level, the national leadership doesn't trust the troops. That's very damaging to morale. It doesn't BUILD trust amongst the troops, whether or not it deteriorates trust among the troops depends on the professionalism of the troops. They're Marines. They'll stay professional because they are Marines. However, as Marines, they generally have a heightened sense of purpose, and this doesn't help that. It may seem like a little thing, but the disarming is a big thing.

For a video interview, I mic'd up US Senator from Illinois Barack Hussein Obama in Baghdad in . . . 2005, and I was armed with an M9 pistol at the time. . . . think it, smile it, just don't say it. . . .

Thanks also for the offer, I guess that would put you in the "batter's box." If 6.8 AR and I can't work out the details of a FTF pass-off, or if he wishes to defer to you, then we can move forward. It does sound a little closer Nashville/Smyrna than Clarksville/Smyrna . . .

Hey BigK, long time no see. You were posting while I was writing. Similar outlook here.

No! He did not say "Do you mind if I pick up YOUR brass?" and you did not get to say "No, feel free." He just assumed. Would you let him go through your pockets and wallet and pull out $1 bills? That's different from you reaching into your wallet and handing him cash. Was this an attended or unattended range? Did he have permission from the range to be there? Is it possible he's "got an arrangement" with the range owners?

Thanks for the offer, don't know how we'd arrange it, Smyrna to Clarksville, seeing as we can't mail them, unless we meet-up in Nashville or something. . . . Well, no hurry to resolve this, so I'll have them for a while. Let me know. The little I've read out on the interwebz sez the Magnums add about 5 percent ooomph! -- but I really don't like deviating from the published tables. If I found a table that says they were OK, I'd load them up.

I'm waiting for the case where a female Handgun Carry Permit holder, who carries, goes to work unarmed because it's demanded by her employer, and gets carjacked and shot on the way. Sue the company, and bang the drum loudly in the media, dragging the business through the mud. There's the court of law, in which the employer may have little or no liability, and there's the court of public opinion, in which the company would be guilty, guilty, guilty. For successful prosecution of this legal campaign to get the law changed, a scenario like this ought to have been drawn and acted out for the benefit of the blind and insensitive. Properly conducted, even FedEx would back off. I don't think there has been enough effort in the court of public opinion, and it might be too late for this until next legislative session. Hopefully a bill will pass this session, even if it's half a loaf, and go back next session for the other half of the loaf.

Shiny!

Doing inventory at the reloading bench after having it all packed away from the retirement move. I'm getting ready to reload .45 ACP, and apparently way back when picked up a brick of CCI 350 Magnum Large Pistol Primers instead of CCI 300 Large Pistol Primers. I'm using Winchester 231, so I'm thinking these are too hot to use. Anyone know of a reloading book or table that says otherwise? If I can't use them for .45 ACP or .45 Colt, then I've got a unopened brick of 1000 that I don't need. What would be a fair price? (Not selling them just yet, that would be another post in the correct forum). What to do? What to do?

I think this story as reported doesn't pass the smell test. After a lot of screaming and yelling and jumping up and down and rioting, the real story will begin to emerge. We have not heard the last of this, and it's gonna jump ugly before the real word comes out. We're being played like checkers.

The mustard gun: It looks like the camera's "white balance" was off. It looked like the camera decided the tan magpul magazine in the AR was white, and adjusted all the other colors too.

Condolences. You can, however, build up your stock of guy points, you can never have too many of them.

Oh. My. God. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. (Semper Fi, my son's a Marine.)

If Someday, God forbid, this stupid woman ever gets mugged, she'd turn into Sarah Connor and demand the right to lean a 12-guage shotgun up against her cubicle desk.

Oh Bother!

I used my HCP for my photo ID.

Well, a .22 pistol used for multiple shots . . . might almost be considered a "serial shotgun" -- a 40 grain or so .22 caliber bullet is about the size of a . . . single 0 buckshot pellet. Three or four .22 bullets in a perp might be as much damage as catching three or four buckshot pellets. That could be quite a bit of damage.

Some say re-election fear is driving gun sales in Fort Worth, elsewhere FORT WORTH -- Gun sales are booming. Enthusiasts are stocking up on guns and ammunition, and some in the industry are wondering whether sales are spiking as they did after Democrat Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008. That rush created a nationwide shortage. "We're at the top of the roller coaster and we're about to plummet down the side," said DeWayne Irwin, owner of the Cheaper Than Dirt gun store in north Fort Worth, which set a sales record for the month of February. "It's fixing to happen again. I don't know if it will be to the same extent it was before, but I see it coming. "Look who the Republicans are trying to put against Obama," he said. "It's the Keystone Kops and people are getting scared. People are terrified he's going to get re-elected and then he won't care about getting votes next time. He'll just pass whatever legislation he wants." Some say the uptick in sales at gun stores could also be linked to anything from the arrival of tax refunds to a spending spree by fans of the National Geographic Channel's Doomsday Preppers show, which chronicles people preparing for the end of the world. Nationwide, more people than ever are buying firearms. Last year, the FBI received more than 16.3 million inquiries from people running criminal background checks on potential gun buyers. That's up from 12.7 million in 2008 and 11.4 million in 2007, FBI records show. Texas had around 1 million such requests in each of the past four years, the second most, behind Kentucky, which had nearly double that. Officials say Kentucky's numbers are high because fresh background checks are run every month there on gun owners with concealed-weapons permits. "I'm constantly getting questions from people in the gun community about this [issue]," said Alan Korwin, author of nine gun law books, including Gun Laws of America, and operator of gunlaws.com. "People are concerned that if Obama wins, as a lame duck, he will go after firearms in a way we have never seen before. "We saw a fire sale when he was elected last time," he said. "But the speculation is that now ... with his need to get re-elected gone, the sky is the limit on attacking the Second Amendment." (more) http://www.star-tele...r#storylink=cpy

Maryland's handgun permit law unconstitutional, judge rules A federal judge has ruled that Maryland's handgun permit law is unconstitutional. In an opinion filed Monday, U.S. District Judge Benson Everett Legg says a requirement that residents show a "good and substantial reason" to carry a handgun infringes their Second Amendment right to bear arms. He says it isn't sufficiently tailored to the state's public safety interests. Plaintiff Raymond Woollard was denied a renewal of his permit in 2009 because he could not show he had been subject to "threats occurring beyond his residence." Woollard obtained the permit after fighting with an intruder in his Hampstead home in 2002. The lawsuit, which names the state police superintendent and members of the Handgun Permit Review Board, was also filed on behalf of the Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/breaking/bs-md-handgun-law-20120305,0,6504189.story
