Of course, its political. But Prosecutors aren’t going to be intimidated by the threat of a civil suit. Especially when it’s not their money. It just caught my attention because I was involved in a case where a defendants dumb azz attorney in a criminal case thought it would be a good idea to file a civil suit. It got his client sent to prison. I didn’t clearly see what was going on when he killed the first guy, but I clearly (kinda) saw the 2nd and 3rd guys get shot; looked justified to me. I hope it works out for him. It appears that he’s just a kid that got involved in something he was not prepared to handle. Walking around in a riot, playing Police or Medic, with an AR strapped across your chest is ignorance beyond belief.

If my attorney wanted to sue someone while I was facing murder charges; I think I’d be looking for a new attorney.

New bolt from SA. They say its made here. I’m not a fan of carbon fiber stocks, but this looks like a contender to the throne vacated by Remington. Although, at $1700-$2400 MSRP I assume they are targeting a different market. https://www.springfield-armory.com/model-2020-series-rifles/model-2020-waypoint-rifles/

I hate to see Remington broken up, or any American firearms manufacturer for that matter. It looks like most of the assets will just be absorbed into other companies. The sketchy one to me is Roundhill Group, in the present political environment, they could just have a group with $13 million to burn to make a political statement by closing it.

I see. I assumed “artificial light” would cover that for a landowner. See what happens when you assume.

It is my understanding that to make a machine gun, you have to have the FFL & SOT, and a business license, making them for the government or LE. I don’t think you can just get a license and make them for yourself, but I could be wrong. My local laws don’t allow me to even do business as a standard 01 FFL in my home.

Looks like you are going to have to buy some land.

I would also go with .357

First, let me say I’m not a hunter. I started another thread about RVing in Tennessee in the General section. I have a nephew that would like to hunt (Bow) if he comes here to RV. He is from out of state and I thought he could hunt hogs here, year around without a hunting license. But from what I’m seeing, it appears he would have to buy a hunting license and a deer permit, is that correct? If not, what would he need to hunt hogs with a bow? What areas are best for that around here? Thanks

Due to CV I bought a used RV because my family and friends were getting together camping. I made my first trip this week. I’m RVing, not camping and am not necessarily interested in being secluded. I need 30 AMP service with water available. Full service with water hookup would be great, but not required. I would like to have a get together here with friends and family, but I haven’t checked out any spots yet. I would appreciate any input from forum members. Thanks

I’m not confused by it at all, and I would argue; they are.

That story leads me to think maybe that damage is from the girl kicking him in the face. If so, good for her.

Not much of a surprise there. The overwhelming majority of folks are good with cops being able to protect themselves. I was going to take the current events poll, but the first two questions told me it was a marketing poll and not a current events poll, so I skipped it.

I don’t think its asking too much. But as you can see, there is a very large percentage of the population that thinks they should have what those of us that have earned our own way have. Those people are socialists and have very good chance of taking over Congress and destroying our country. Sometime after the election we will know for sure, at least for the next four years. No, there is nothing right or fair about it. It’s been posted here before and I remember hearing it constantly as a young man that the Communists said they will take this country without firing a shot. I used to laugh that off. I’m not laughing now; you are watching a very good attempt. Only the voters can stop it.

Maybe. But that helps the working class that can pay the premiums. What about the working poor and those living off the government? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve not turned into nice guy. But those people are electing democrats because they are making a lot of noise about providing free quality health care for them. And if Biden gets elected I suspect that may well happen. Not only will you being paying for that in your insurance premiums, but your income taxes and property taxes are going to sky rocket. Jobs will be lost, further increasing your “share”.

So the two of you together will get 149% (your pension and her getting an additional 49%) and when you die hers goes to 100%? Is that better than her drawing SS? I'm just curious because I have never heard of anything like this, and would like to understand it. Is your pension government?

So she will get benefits from what she paid? What you are doing is a choice, right? So I assume that will give her more money, and will continue if you die before her?

How is the free market not doing its job now? I think you can see from what’s going on now you can’t tell the poor to “get a job”. In a free market, the insurance companies will charge you whatever they like. Is that not what’s happening now? How will that help the people on this forum that say their rates are ridiculous, or that they can’t afford insurance?

I don’t trust the government. How else is it going to get fixed? I’m not arguing; that’s a question. Doing nothing means the working stiffs continue to pay monthly premiums that are crazy.

The CCP permit requires fingerprinting when you apply, then it’s a name only background check every five years.

There are a lot of problems to deal with. You are willing to play God based on a calculator. And that may have to be the case, but many in Congress aren’t willing to do that. Lets say that’s not Grandma, but its your 35 year old wife who was healthy and without warning just dropped from a brain aneurysm. The Doctors don’t think she will survive, but they don’t know that for sure. You have two young daughters to raise. Keeping her alive will bankrupt your family in short order. But if you have government insurance that will pay it, you will wait and see. Who plays God, the government health care provider?? Or your daughter has a rare condition that is usually fatal. But she is on a wonder drug that costs $35K a year, and is keeping her alive and leading a somewhat normal life. What if the government won’t pay it? And if they didn’t pay it, would drugs like those exist. I don’t have the answers, I’m just throwing out that its not all cut and dried. I don’t think illegals should have free health care at our expense, but it appears half the country does not agree. Yes, people should not be allowed to go to the ER for non emergency situations. But many go for emergency care, car wrecks, heart attacks, shooting, etc. Many aren’t going to pay; they can’t. But they are going to be treated. There is a lot to work out. But I like to believe that like with problems in industry, if the leaders (Congress) were forced to work with Doctors and other professionals to work out a resolution; they could. Will everyone be happy with the results? Highly doubtful.

I think both sides want a health care plan that will work. All anyone has to do is say how their plan will work, who will be covered, and how it will be paid for. So far, those are big stumbling blocks. The biggest stumbling blocks I see right now is health care or illegals, and everyone having the same level of care, whether they work or not. Some are going to see any amount being paid as too much. Also, some here are talking like Medicare is free. Medicare isn’t free and if you want full coverage it can get pretty pricey for someone in retirement. One of the things I don’t see too often is the discussion out the exorbitant rates charged in the medical industry. If it’s a government plan for everyone; they will be sitting the rates for what they will pay a Doctor or a hospital, and private insurance will be gone. That will also mean a lot of jobs lost, other than those absorbed into government positions.

Carrying a gun is a constitutional right and a natural right, even though this state doesn’t see it that way. It is a persons own responsibility to be trained to deal with a deadly force situation. The CCP was put in place for those that can’t afford training. The HCP class is not a training class and many can’t afford real training classes that runs hundreds of dollars for the class and ammo. But many of them can still get trained by friends or family. They have the personal responsibility to get trained, and we have no idea how many do. Are untrained people shooting others a big problem? I don’t know. I know that many instances of bad shoots or negligent shootings come from those that have been trained. Again, its what the number crunchers desire the numbers to show. My thoughts come from my experience of dealing with the victims of violence that needed the immediate ability to carry a gun, in a state that would not allow that, trained or not.

We are locked in on numbers. Numbers only give you a true representation if they are legitimate. Like firearms involved in violence, the numbers can be manipulated to show whatever you like. I don’t believe that the people crunching the numbers are trustworthy. I don’t put much stock in testing numbers, other than to realize that as the number of tests go up, so will the number of cases. Also, plenty of people test positive that never even have and symptoms. The number of deaths would be a real indicator. But it appears that deaths that are not from Covid are being added. Like a loaded gun, I understand this is dangerous. But also, like a loaded gun, I suspect those using reasonable safety precautions are at far lower risk.

The guy driving the car at the store isn’t guilty of anything. Not unless a jury believes beyond reasonable doubt that he had knowledge, either before the incident or helping in the getaway. I’m not sure what you want to charge him with that doesn’t require intent or state of mind? Sure, you can run over the protestors. But if you injure innocent people you are likely to stand trial. It also depends on what the level of violence is and the level of participation of the people you run over. Like any deadly force incident it will depend on the facts of that particular incident. If I was a juror in addition to it meeting all the elements for the use of deadly force, I would want to know why you were in the middle of a riot. I’m not saying you can’t kill people posing a real threat to your life; have at it. But if you are trying to justify killing innocent people because others were threatening your life; you can’t. But a DA or a jury might. Would I allow myself to be pulled from a car by an angry mob? No.
