I'm simple when it comes to pistols. I bought the exact 1911 I've always wanted and always will want, then bought a Glock 19 because it is the best jack of all trades pistol. Then I bought a pocket .380 for use when needing extremely discreet carry. I'm happy with everything and likely won't buy another utility pistol again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1103490" timestamp="1391066087"]Do you? I only know you're required to show HCP on request. - OS[/quote] Considering that carrying a loaded handgun in TN is a crime and having a HCP is only a defense to that crime, I would think that answering that question "yes" would be incriminating oneself.

[quote name="JayC" post="1103108" timestamp="1391019814"]I think the issue is that flying over and performing 'searches' by air without a warrant in either the helicopter or a UAV is bad, and violates God given rights - yes I know SCOTUS currently doesn't agree. [/quote] I could get on board with that line of thinking. Not that I'm completely sold that it is unconstitutional, but I think anyone who has a problem with UAVs collecting without a warrant should be equally upset with manned aerial vehicles doing the same thing. I think it's a murky area since you don't own the airspace over your house, so anyone can fly over it and look down, however, if the intent is the invasion of privacy in a place that someone has a reasonable expectation of privacy then there is a problem. If me and the wife wanna get naked in our hot tub out in the country, we do so with the intention and expectation of it being private. If someone was to fly their commercially bought UAV over us and make a video (whether they be LE or civilian) then they are should be breaking some laws. I get that, but I don't see that as a valid argument against them. Kinda like red light cameras or cops who hide from speeders.... folks don't like it because they consider it cheating.

[quote name="partypilot1" post="1103195" timestamp="1391032530"]Drones concern me because they will be in my airspace. A manned aircraft is always looking and avoiding traffic because two objects cannot share the same space in time. A UAV doesn't share the same stake in the game.[/quote] They still maintain situational awareness in the air as to what is around them. I'm not sure about preds, but I know other types of UAVs stay below a certain altitude in order to avoid aircraft and can't be operated within certain distances of airports. That was just my experience using them in the US. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[quote name="Dustbuster" post="1103056" timestamp="1391015633"]Not at all. I'm with you,Imaging is worth a million words. As is a witness that corroborates the imaging with their own account. It's how it was acquired that that's will be argued.Someone can likely id a field of pot w today's hi res imaging remotely and start the warrant process.There was a case not too long ago where a plane flew over a house suspected of growing pot. The plane was using IR. The IR showed what was believed to be an indoor grow, BUT it also showed 2 bodies/the homeowner and his wife sleeping in their beds at the time of the flyover. The court dismissed the case because the homeowners rights were violated.they had a reasonable expectation of privacy in their home regardless of what the plane was really looking for. Imaging of them sleeping pissed off the judge and demonstrated the couple was violated as their rights were violated. There's going to be a lot of issues with drones in the future especially when the lawyers start demanding testimony and start grilling the drone operators. Look up curtilage, interesting reading regarding privacy. Also kinda interesting that anyone could access a drone for cattle rustling crimes.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.[/quote] I would agree this was likely a waste of money to devote such resources for a property crime, but then again, this guy was involved in an armed standoff with police, so perhaps they wanted to use every tool at their disposal to make this guy stay behind bars. The UAV they used was on loan from border patrol, so I suppose it would have otherwise been making sure our northern border was secure from those meddling Canucks, so perhaps there was no monetary loss by its use nor was there a significant compromise in border security. In this case we're talking about a pred, so in regard to location relative to the aircraft, the platform is calibrated so it has an exact grid coordinate to what its camera is centered on on the ground. No worries about the need to corroborate the location they are looking at. I would agree that advanced thermal imaging into the home would be a violation, but fly overs not so much. Not until aerial surveillance of any kind (regardless of platform) is ruled unconstitutional should UAVs be in a different category that manned aircraft. It just sounds scary since it can be so easily associated with spooooooky spy movies. In this case I didn't see any indication they were using the pot sniffing thermal technology. Wouldn't make much sense for them to have it on a border pred anyway. Probably just running flir or daytime camera to try and locate the cattle. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So if a murder is recorded on a surveillance camera it is less useful evidence than if someone was testifying as a witness? Nope, I don't buy it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well the cops had a legal search warrant, so there weren't any grounds for them to deny the police access. They were accused of committing a crime, the police went to investigate, armed standoff ensues. They were accused of stealing cattle and had 3,600 acres of property. I assume the search warrant was to allow them to search the property for the missing cattle. That's just how the law works. If someone sees you commit a crime and reports it to police, and the police show up with a legal search warrant to which you refuse under threat of deadly force against law enforcement, you're gonna have a bad day. He's lucky he got the sentence he did, and he only had to serve 6 months. Nothing like ruby ridge. There was a whoooooooollllllleeeee lotta crap going on there. This guy was accused of thievery, and I assume the only reason he wasn't caught was because he had enough time to destroy evidence. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Law enforcement use helicopters for the same thing. They randomly fly over rural areas in TN looking for pot farms. They use helicopters all the time as a surveillance platform to gather evidence. Once someone can explain to me why there is a legal difference in how the evidence is gathered in a helicopter versus an unmanned aerial vehicle I'll start believing this is a problem. Drone implies that these are vehicles who operate independently. There is someone sitting behind the controls as well as someone operating the cameras, same as in a helicopter. What is the difference other than the location of the pilot and camera operator? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[quote name="Smith" post="1102411" timestamp="1390924223"]As much as I hate taxes and most are unconstitutional, sales tax is the one tax that is legitimate, constitutional, and legal. Why do internet retailers get to sell without collecting taxes thus lowering their prices which allow them to undercut the local mom and pop stores and that is fair? [/quote] Yep. We've just been enjoying something the law never intended us to enjoy. I'm not going to like paying sales tax online, but it is fair unless we abolish the TN sales tax altogether.

[quote name="peejman" post="1102359" timestamp="1390913080"]Has the incidence of autism increased or has the rate of diagnosis increased? [/quote] Winner winner, chicken dinner! It's easy for the organic nazis to spout crap about autism numbers "rising" without acknowledging that people are being diagnosed of the spectrum who never would have been diagnosed or even on the spectrum years ago. There are grown adults being diagnosed for the first time. Nothing changed. They didnt spontaneously develop autism. It just was never diagnosed. Now there is such an emphasis on health care providers to watch for signs so they can get a diagnosis earlier. They didnt have such an emphasis when we were kids. It's all a bunch of bullcrap being peddled by self appointed and self "educated" autism "experts"who are looking to scare folks into their warped view of the world. I'm related to one of these whackos who claims that autism is all a result of "Big Pharma" pushing snake oil on parents and using the government as a strong arm to enforce vaccination standards so that "Big Pharma" can get their delicious money and further the agenda of the new world order military industrial compl.......

Jenny McCarthy claims she cured autism in her kid. To hell with all those doctors who spend a lifetime of research on autism, celebrities always know better. This kinda poison that people put out in the public for unsuspecting folks who may not be as sharp as the rest of us needs to be ridiculed into submission. The rising number of autism diagnosis has as much to do with the rising number of vaccinations as the rising number of cancer diagnosis has to do with the rising number of pussy boy bands.

I always thought the use of tinfoil to prevent mind control radiation was Tin Foil lobby garbage. Nothing but "Big Tin Foil" trying to exploit the common folk and make us buy their product.

Brake checking a cop is not the smartest thing. Yeah, if he hits you then he may be in some hot water, but if he doesn't you might be getting a ride to the police station. It ain't right for a cop to be driving in an unsafe manner just for the hell of it, but it is what it is. If he's enough of an ahole to tailgate you for so long then he is an ahole enough to arrest you on a BS charge. It'd just be a huge headache for you, but if you're into that sorta thing then go for it. Slamming on your brakes with intent to cause an accident is illegal. So is tailgating. Guess who is gonna be the one defending themselves in the courtroom?

Why? They did this last year and the year before if I remember right. What is wrong with them informing you of what your tax liabilities are? My bank, employer and investment firm all do that. At least Amazon doesn't send your purchase information to the state. There is no way for the state to know what your tax liabilities are, so if you choose not to pay it is no big deal. I don't see why this is always some big issue. It's just a friggin email.

The American Kurd population has been traditionally right wing. Several of the Kurdish interpreters I worked with were from Nashville. If you recall back to 2004, the Kurdish community came out big time in support of Bush. One thing we did sorta right was the program to relocate Kurds who helped us out during the Gulf War. We put a lot of families in impossible positions by promising a lot in return for their help, then leaving them behind to be slaughtered with nothing more than a no fly zone to protect them. We're now in a very precarious position with the Kurds due to our lack of support for a Kurdish state. We run the risk of losing an warfightng ally who loved us more than words can express, even after we left them out to dry at one time. If the Kurds ever did declare their state and secede from Baghdad, I think we'll end up losing that ally forever, as we won't lift a finger to stop the Turks from rolling them over.

Well hopefully those people will start voting. Otherwise they ain't getting new pistols and the old ones are gonna cost a new gun owner an arm and a leg. Otherwise, people in California deserve the government they elect.

That looks like a coroner's nightmare.

Yeah, but less greasy. You don't wanna ruin good pizza. Best to relocate that first, then surprise your lady with a special delivery. Spoiler alert: they typically aren't amused.
