Now there's a Glock I can get behind! Maybe Glock could just send some of their pistols to Cali to test...a few AD's - problem solved! :stir:

Truly unbelievable story. This is where Rambo came from! Lutrell, even while having legs that were useless, hide in mud and a crevice on a hillside, after all his team had been killed, and continued to snipe Taliban for several days till rescued!

I'm thinking a name change is in order. the Nobel Peace Prize is now - The Liberal Recognition Award, or perhaps the Humanist, Progressive, Self-Propagation Award, or the Old Hippie Award. Is it even relevant anymore.....or was it ever anyway?

for price comparison look here. http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=9mm%20%20(9x19) You can't beat Academy prices. CCI Blazer vs Wolf for less. Not much comparison unless you aren't close to Academy.

CCI Blazer 115g

RangerT 147 in the Kel-Tec PF9 and federal HST 124 +p in the XD service. IMO HST's are the best you can get followed by RangerT. Here is an incredible write up with pictures and charts to back it. http://frag.110mb.com/

In the words of Barney Fife, "this badge represents the law and when I'm wearing it it means I represent the law." Sure they are only a guy with a badge with a gun .........and the full weight of the United States Government.... and Constitution..... State Legislature.... the State..... and the local municipalities, authority representing them.

I do what I can!

While I understand and support your initial idea (not in the quote) of compliance and officer safety, please explain what special rights you are referring to? Surely you are not suggesting that the 2nd isn't a valid Constitutional right are you?

Ah, the beauty of ambiguity!

If you have the "means" to do so you have the right to do anything, philosophically speaking. Law is only good if enforceable, whether that be by voluntary or involuntary submission.

The only reason I post in these political issues is to see Rabbi's mind at work. Thanks for getting me through another Monday, Rabbi!

apples and oranges my friend, or more like apples and watermelons. Secession = precedent in absence of clear directive DC = Constitutional interpretation of a stated "unclear":rolleyes: directive they are not the same. That's like arguing for prostitution on the basis that married people have sex in exchange for goods and services and is allowed.

Uh.... no. As you already stated if it is "stated" (whether in the Const. or law) then it is based on legal interpretation. If it is not "stated" then precedent sets the benchmark. This is basic constitutional law. DC has to do with legal interpretation and application of existing law. Secession is another animal.

This would be considered "just cause" because of the similarity to the BG, until ID is verified.

they sure are nice. Wish I had one.

The thing overlooked, which Rabbi pointed out, was that in absence of law precedent on previous "rulings" apply. Texas, California, New Mexico, and the South all set forth precedent in principal. Although I understand there are some differences in these examples, the principal has been upheld each and every time. In a court ruling or congressional hearing these would all set forth precedent as a major factor in a new law. Is it expressly forbidden or allowed....actually yes, it is forbidden by legal precedent unless expressly allowed by sa clear and direct law. (this is too much one sided)

+1 on the Kel-Tec PF9. I got it as a more concealable alternative to my xd and it works extremely well. I carry it almost all the time.

Gunbroker has three listed $225, $350, & $375. for what that's worth.

Funny how politics work that way! I understand. This was my first two-tone and I liked it. I like the blued look as well. Maybe i should have one of each. But then i will have to have one with all the different frame colors! Man, guns get complicated.

Greetings from a fellow minister and PF9 owner. I really like how you did your presidential endorsement. I don't like Paul, but that was well done. as far as the PF9 - send that thing to Jack Fuselier and he'll plate it for $25! http://www.gunsmith.fuselier.com/slideoffer.html

only picture i have of myself from 3 yrs. ago. the reason I carry.

Wish i knew. Hadn't been able to get out yet, but maybe just maybe, this weekend is the weekend!

Is there a suburban in Memphis anymore? Before long they will try to annex Olive Branch and Southaven!

As a former Memphian, all i can say is you're gonna need that HCP sooner than later! Welcome to TGO.
