Oh Shoot

Most of us would prefer it wasn't public. There was a bill to make it private introduced last legislative session. It didn't pass. So it's not like that's not going to change anytime soon, seems. - OS

Yeah, knew it would be mobbed, first warm weekend in a long while, tomorrow will be even more crowded I'm sure. Long time no see, Mota. - OS

Perhaps they should put a GPS broadcast unit into GPS receivers. (not to make light of YOUR loss) - OS

Hmmm. I for one would never use that gunsmith again, and I'd probably not be confident re the fix even now. - OS

I can dig that point of view, even though I don't own one. Much the same way I'd consider my Marlin .357 lever gun, for similar reasons. Especially if decided to take a .357 revolver rather than a semi-auto pistol. - OS

I don't know the legal stuff, either, but why would one NOT report justifiably killing someone? Lots of reasons, most of them involving time, hassle, money, reputation, and possibility of incarceration or lawsuit, regardless of how "clear cut" the situation appears to the shooter. But that's not the question. Seems to me, in IANAL armchair legal opining mode, you flee the scene: - if you are never connected to the shooting, obviously you wouldn't be charged with anything. - if you are, default perception would almost certainly shift from justifiable homicide to criminal homicide of some flavor, up to even premeditated murder if you happened to know the person. Additional charges?: Homicide is a crime until deemed justifiable. Would think that leaving scene could be construed as unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, cross a state line and it becomes federal crime too, AFAIK. I imagine you could be found guilty of this, even if found not guilty of anything in the shooting itself. Just like fleeing the scene of an accident, except more serious. There's also a charge of "interfering with an investigation" or similar, off top o' my bean. - OS

Because, according to Belle Meade ordinances, it's the only way you CAN legally carry a firearm there, and not only that, it must be a certain TYPE of firearm. And since you haven't read up on this, before you ask, the Belle Meade ordinance, (though seldom, if ever enforced) legally supercedes state law. - OS

Incredible read, thanks. Never seen so many stories combined into one group like that. - OS

Well, big picture freedom wise, that could be a slippery slope, too. We could have a Mentally Defective List to accompany the already existing Suspected Maybe Possibly Or Even If We Just Want to Call Them That Terrorist List. - OS

They, who? Of course the radio station is licensed to play what it does one way or another, I'm thinking of the websites that make the interface possible....,\ UPDATE INFO: Hmmm, you're probably right, looking at just one, Live365.com, has a notice on bottom of front page: "Live365.com is an officially licensed ASCAP, BMI and SESAC site." - OS

Yeah, I sort of remember that now...seems like you've even been able to pass 4473 okay, too? Ah well, big congrats...been a long time coming that's for sure. - OS

Well and good, but I can't vote in Arizona myself. - OS

You've probably said in another thread, but was the deal on that, have to get some previous bug a boo cleared up? - OS

I had to check out the company to see what the fuss is about. So yeah, I'm impressed. I don't know if I could stand having something of mine so close but not in my mitts! - OS

Hmm, giving up a basic right to plead down to a 'meanor. I guess that could be a legal condition of a plea deal, I have no way of knowing. - OS

TCA reference for that? I can't find it. - OS

Of course issue date and printing/mailing date don't have to be the same. However, they have routinely violated this part of the statute since it was enacted. I was once told on phone "if you miss the first 90 day cycle, it could take as long as 180 days". According to reports, they also don't always meet the 10 day notification of denial time line either. - OS

I don't boycott their gas stations, but otherwise I've had quite enough of the Haslam dynasty. - OS

Yeah, can see that, since it's taking a broadcast and re-purposing onto a different audio delivery system. I'm a little surprised that live internet radio is allowed. - OS

My thoughts also. I'm sure IF individual folks could really believe that the other 4,999,999 would actually not pay, it would happen, perhaps in much greater numbers than the 5 million. Group dynamics is a fascinating thing; there is indeed strength in numbers, but the trick is to get individuals to unite into those numbers. - OS

Nope. TCA clearly states 90 days to ISSUE. Even if background checks have not completed. However, there is no penalty for them not conforming to the statute. - OS

My comment was meant as a supportive statement for your position. - OS

Note that in most every situation though, music from public radio is allowed. And of course any "muzak" service subscribed to is already licensed. Big diff between these and cranking out CD's or your own mixes over the speakers. - OS

Doesn't even matter the circumstances. TCA is pretty clear on the matter. As long as it wasn't a conviction for domestic violence, a class A misdemeanor is not a disqualification for HCP. Ironically, though, once you have an HCP, any Class A 'meanor is cause to lose it. - OS

Big deal. It's only AOL. - OS
