Oh Shoot

It doesn't take a lawyer to read instructions on a 4473 for questions 11 and 12, which is simply same verbiage found in 18 U.S.C. § 922 : US Code. http://www.atf.gov/f...tf-f-4473-1.pdf I mean, even a gun store employee can do it. - OS

Sort of. Possession of small x amounts are decriminalized, and not just pot, but coke, heroin, and meth, too. Still illegal to sell any amount though. - OS

I've got my vote gonna vote for Zach even. There hasn't been a TN senator unseated since 1966 though, via primary or general election, so don't hold your breath. - OS edit: I was dead wrong about this, was looking at only half the list. Gore Sr, Brock, and Sasser were all ousted. Sorry.

As I said, get her a hunting license. Since she could buy them from FFL with one, it would surely cover having one you gave her also. Or just give her the money and let her buy one herself. You can do basic hunting/fishing license online or at Walmart, doesn't cost much. - OS

" A Dutchman has built a replica of Noah's Ark to biblical proportions, following a dream his homeland would be flooded." http://www.cnn.com/2...utch/index.html Actually, video states it's only a fifth of the size of the "original", but it's still a whopper: [media=] [/media]- OS

By federal law, if she's is a legal permanent US resident (or believe it or not, here legally in any form and has a hunting license) she can own guns. No probs with TN law either. Some of the rest is assuming she's 21: She can even buy handgun herself from FFL -- could possibly have hassle purchasing one from an FFL with just the hunting license if she's not a permanent resident, depending on knowledge of the FFL, but there is a hunting license exception on the 4473 form, along with some other exceptions that likely don't apply to her. She can also buy guns in private sales. If she's a permanent resident she can even get her TN Carry Permit. Other hint: if you're buying one at a gunshop, or FFL dealer at a show, do not buy it yourself on 4473 and hand it to her in gun shop, or hand her the money or try to pay for it yourself in gunshop for her to purchase on 4473, etc, even though both of you may be totally legal, to eliminate any possibility of being accused of a straw purchase. Also, again assuming she's legal to own, besides gifting her a gun, you may also merely loan her a gun, no time period specified, in case you wanted to lay something temporarily on her right away you had, and shop for something later. Mostly semantics there, really. - OS

Nah, Mexico imports it before sending it along. Guess they'd have to label their own weed, though. - OS

Wowzer. That's really, um, well, er, hmm, ahem ... unique. - OS

Well, they could certainly require it if they choose to, a vendor's choice to comply with federal law re ammo sales. It's actually rather dumb that the federal law exists, yet does not require ID, neither in brick and mortar or online. - OS

Opinion varies. Since they don't have to show ID of any kind in 19 states, and non-photo ID in 19 more, actual registered voter may not even have to be alive. - OS

That's quite the stretch. So charging higher out of state tuition is unconstitutional? Registering only cars for TN residents? TennCare only for TN residents? Letting folks in other states run for office? Residency has privileges and onuses in every state. - OS

Duh. Thanks.

They'll likely have to wait until after The Fall. Another term of BHO and the perpetual majority of the on-the-teat Dem voting base will be a lock, as long as they can still get enough of them to the polls, Or at least claim they did. - OS

What is "CL"?

Permanent Resident Status is correct but there are more possibilities than just the "green card" (I-551) itself, looks like. Most of these seem dependent on having one, but those last two seem like different categories? "Acceptable Documents for Lawful Permanent Resident Status Permanent Resident Alien Card (I-551) Foreign passport stamped by the U.S. Government indicating that the holder has been "Processed for I-551" Permanent resident Re-entry Permit (I-327) Arrival Departure Form I-94 with “Temporary I-551†stamp and holder’s photograph affixed Travel Document issued to Permanent Residents (I-327) Travel Document issued to Refugees (I-571) Form I-94 stamped with one of the following statuses: Asylee, Parolee or Parole, Refugee, Asylum, HP-humanitarian parolee or PIP-public interest parolee" - OS

You might can get too "local" there. At least ask a state trooper. But you'd have to show me the KY statute that denies out of state people that right before I'd believe it. I'm pretty certain you'll only find prohibitions against concealed carry without a permit. And no prohibitions regarding non-residents in the past either. From: http://www.kentuckys...org/conceal.htm "Where can I openly carry a firearm? There are no Kentucky Revised Statutes that govern the open carry of firearms by persons who lawfully possess such firearms except for the following: 527.070 - Unlawful possession (whether carried openly or concealed) of a weapon on school property, except for certain specified exceptions. KRS 244.125 - Which bars loaded firearms (concealed or otherwise) in places where alcohol is sold by the drink, except for certain specified exceptions. If you have any questions on the open carry of firearms in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, including whether a particular mode of carrying a firearm would be deemed open or concealed carry, you may wish to consult an attorney." - OS

He may have never even shot any of those four firearms before that night. Heck, no info that he ever shot a gun in his life so far, actually. - OS

As I've read to understand it, Colorado has preemption for folks with carry permit, and used to be a "gold star" open carry state, preempted for anyone. But a lawsuit by Denver some time ago got a ruling that individual cities/counties can ban open carry period. The permit is "concealed only", open carry was always just "constitutional" like in many states. Now it's "constitutional unless a town doesn't like it". The story is as usual, a garble. Apparently that city did indeed ban it, even though one sentence suggests that it didn't. - OS

We don't know. Dunno if we ever will actually, but certainly not likely till the trial is over and forensics are released. I suspect that many of the injured were hit with shotgun pellets at distance, as most were released in the next day or so from hospitals. From a couple of descriptions, sounded like bird shot, not buck. I'm thinking that he didn't actually get as many rounds off as many assume, and of course the death count was very low because the guy just wasn't an experienced and/or competent shooter, fortunately. Of course the rest of your points are valid. It's such a strange country anymore, individual carry rights have been widened, but there's also a constantly increasing outcry for restrictions. A real study in paradox and extremes, like many facets of the US. - OS

Neither. http://www.tn.gov/sa...duplicate.shtml (top of page) As instructions say, you don't have to do anything but notify them as per the link or phone number. Old address on permit is okay until time for renewal. If you want a new one with new address, you apply for a duplicate after changing address. - OS

That was from handgunlaw.us. AFAIK there is no criminal charge for carrying past a sign in KY as in TN. Only about 3 other states have that at all. Most come down to the "asked to leave/trespassing" thang. A couple, like Texas, have a separate charge for carrying into a bar, where they are required to post. - OS

I understood your comment. I think you're mistaken, and was citing the single "resident only" carry law I know of in the US. It is my understanding that one may open carry in any state that allows it, resident or not, as long as you meet the age requirements of that state for doing it. Many of which are under 21. Indeed, KY is 18. Some states are under 18. - OS

(re OC in KY) Never even heard that claim. AFAIK, the only "resident only" carry law is the new one in WY, where residents only may conceal carry without a permit. Certainly no mention of it at opencarry.org, which is pretty thorough, and give KY their "gold star" rating. - OS

BHO is what has them worried, regardless of the opposition. - OS
