Is it a crime to pursue someone who just robbed you at gun point?    This has nothing to do with "stand your ground".  Perhaps he was following him so he could be a good witness and tell the cops where the guy fled to.  After all, it was his money that was taken, and he has a right to his stuff, unless there is a law out there that says you absolutely MUST hand over your money, then suck your thumb in the corner as the bad guy runs away.   Where would he have broken any laws?  The bad guy EFFING SHOT AT HIM, and only then did the citizen draw his weapon and return fire.   So, the victim here was in a place where he had a legal right to be, after the criminal robbed him at gun point.  The victim attempted to follow the suspect and was shot at and therefore returned fire.  Maybe I'm just stoopid; could someone please point out where the victim committed any crime versus the criminal who committed armed robbery and aggravated assault/attempted murder?  Or are we just applying our own values to "what I would have done" and thinking falsely that has any sort of bearing on law?   This is the story:   Bad guy robs good guy.  Good guy follows bad guy.  Bad guy shoots at good guy.  Good guy shoots back and wounds bad guy.  Good guy gets his stuff back.  Bad guy goes back to jail where he belongs.   This guy should get a friggin medal, not a bunch of people wishing he be prosecuted for doing absolutely nothing that is against the law.

  Not saying that would be the response of every man, but certainly should be an expected response.  Seriously, could you imagine going up to a man you don't know and then berating him on how he's raising his kids?  How would you expect that to end?  I would fully expect him to take a swing.  Now, females don't think like that, because society has a stigma on hitting women, even if they deserve it.

  Only because chicks know they can run their mouth to a stranger without fear of getting punched in the face.  Not that I'd ever tell a father how to raise his kids, but if I did I would fully expect him to try and knock me out.

It doesn't appear they're listed for any more than what they were before the shooting. It's easier for the gov to touch ammo than guns anyway in terms of prohibitive taxing and such. Firearms are different. So long as the state they live in isn't raising their taxes and the materials used to manufacture remain at the same price, the manufacturer of those firearms isn't going to raise their prices to the retailer. Last time I saw a Bushmaster in stock at Walmart (pre-Newton) they were pushing $1000. Bushmasters have always been more expensive though.

Ha, taking the kids out sans wife gets me hit on by young women and stopped constantly by old ladies. One trip on a busy Saturday to Kroger resulted in being stopped nearly a dozen times for ladies fawning over the children. Apparently it doesn't happen when my wife takes them out. For some reason society looks at fathers taking care of their kids differently; either something to be rewarded or judged.

I feel that it is anyone's right to take their own life as they please and it isn't my place to judge, however folks who have children, especially young ones, owe their lives to those children. If there are little babies that depend on you then you have no right to kill yourself, I don't care what the circumstances are. Normally I'd believe that the dog's life is worth more than hers, but since she had kids her life was worth a whole lot. What an incredibly selfish thing to do. Yes, I'm judging, but only because she is a selfish sociopath who put her own weak needs above her children. She is a piece of human trash to be discarded and forgotten. If it wasn't for a few songs you occasionally hear on the radio, this would just be another alcoholic drug addict that may or may not get a small blurb in a local paper upon shooting herself. I don't see why her being famous makes this any different.

I really hope so. I don't think those guys are very pro-2A though, just based on the way they portray the crazy gun owning uncle.

I'm stocking up on tin foil now.

I beat you to it by 10 minutes in General Chat.

  Whoa, that case  is awesome for kids.  I got the iPad for my wife, so it has the pink girlie case on it which does not protect from babies and toddlers outside of the cushy couch area.  It is amazing how quick they pick this stuff up.  My daughter figured out (on her own mind you) how to unlock my iPhone before she was 12 months.  I thought it was by accident until I saw her do it again the same day.  I do wish there was a way to lock the device from exiting an app somehow.

  I have ABC lite and ABC train on my iPhone, which are good for out and about in public.  Unlike the OP, I am not brave enough to take the iPad out of the house; my kids would figure out how to break it.  My wife has about a dozen apps on her iPad which do phonics, letter tracing, ABCs and numbers.  In fact, we used the iPad to teach him the alphabet when he was only 18 months.  It was a more fun and interactive way for him than using the flash cards.  It's also been a big deal in his ability to count.  We used a few bed time books to teach him numbers, then we started using the iPad and he picked up the higher ones much easier (above 20).  I'm guessing because it's interactive and he controls the pace; it makes it more fun somehow.

Get an account with them and it will stop.  Maybe that is their new tactic.... credit check you into submission.

You won't change their mind.  The only thing you can do is counter their emotion with logic, which will only make them look crazier and cause them to act rabidly, which will hopefully open up the eyes of the sheep.

I love handing my kid (3) my iPhone when we're standing in line.  They have so many good apps for ABCs and such.  We have similar apps for tracing letters (on the iPad) now that we're really getting into teaching him how to write.  I've gotten the looks for older folks when standing in line before, but I don't much care.  Eff them.  It is a great learning tool and it keeps them from getting bored and fidgety when Dad has other stuff to do... like shop.   Besides, it's more unnatural to stand a 3 year old in a stagnant line expecting him not to move and be quiet than it is to hand him an iPhone and play a learning game. 

I have 5 Walmarts within reasonable distance from my home.  Just 4 months ago I was going to the range and figured I'd pick up some 9mm beforehand.  The first three Walmarts I call had no 9mm FMJ in stock... zero.  This has been going on long before the great ammogedden of 2013; it's just a little worse now.  I don't see this changing, ever.

  At least family members intervened and had her kids taken away before she decided to off herself.  No telling what she would have done.    At the end of the day, we are all responsible for our own actions, even if the circumstances we find ourselves in were not of our own doing or foreseeable.  In her case she is 100% responsible for her station in life, so I have a hard time feeling sympathy for her.  I do, however, feel for her kids, just like I feel for the kids of servicemembers who are killed in Afghanistan every day while serving their country, while that same country glorifies the life of a scummy piece of trailer trash semen depository that was Mindy McCready.

  Yeah, but we resolved that issue... a Glock 1911.

  You're making the assumption they are doing this for PR.  The best PR they've ever done is create a product that every AR owner in America, every LEO who has a duty rifle, every Marine/Air Force, Army and Navy servicemember wants in their weapon; the Pmag.    I don't think they need to worry about PR.  This is about something bigger.  If this law is passed then customers in their own state of operation will be cut off.  No, this probably won't affect their sales significantly, but what does that say about them if they continue to operate in an environment which bans the sale of their product, yet profits from that very product.  This one business pumps millions into an economy with elected officials who are trying to snuff them out.  Why wait around for that to happen.  Why not move to an economy where the state is supportive of their business, and representatives from that very state will go to Washington DC and fight for their right to continue to exist.    You give these guys little credit with your assumptions.  This isn't about image, this is about rights.

Walmart, if you get there at the right time.

They kill off boobs halfway through the movie... WTH? Bond movies require a Bond girl, and this one didn't even arrive until well into the movie, and then was killed off only minutes later with only a lame, distorted shower scene. Hollywood is forgetting who watches these movies. I want action, witty humor and bewbs.

Wow.

I'm ordering some Pmags for my dad now.

I don't get offended when someone makes a good point, even if it makes my side look silly. I get offended when a person is just being a dick for the sake of it. That isn't a matter of disagreement, it is a matter of respect. I can find something offensive even if I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment.
