It is obvious they do. Why else would they be riding around, shooting up random vehicles in hopes of killing this guy?   I am not attempting to take up for this guy. He has done wrong, and should be found and punished to the full extent of the law. From what I've seen so far, however, it looks to me like he fit right in with the LAPD. I doubt all of the facts of the incident which drove him to this will ever be brought to light.

I've seen a lot of new gun stores open in the past year or two. I do not expect many of them to still be open next year.

I have a black Labrador Retreiver with a brown nose, and no moles.

I'm with Dave. I've never been asked, so I either conceal well, or I don't look like a friendly face with which to converse.

I've renewed mine twice. However long that makes it.

I find it very telling that it took this for him to get his investigation reopened, and at least get the illusion of a fair hearing. Murder is wrong, but I'm not sure he is much worse than the people who fear him.

Murder is terrible, no matter who is the victim. That being said, someone tell me why a cop murdered is a greater tragedy than anyone else?

Instead of a gun ban, I believe a lot of this nonsense could be prevented if we as a country stopped promoting liberalism. :shrug:

This entire ordeal, including the content of the media coverage, along with the timing seems odd to me for some reason. More of this type thing in the near future wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I just pick them where they grow wild along the fencerow. To me, the wild ones taste much better than commercial varieties.

Exactly! I just saw on the news, a blue pickup riddled with bullet holes. The LAPD shot two women in the truck delivering newspapers. Tell me again why these folks should have guns and I shouldn't?

Assuming your friend didn't do anything wrong to initiate this stop, he should have been adimate that they arrest and charge him with something, and then make a big friggin deal out of it. Since he didn't, he should at least file a complaint. Don't expect it to do any good, however.   Wearing a badge permits you to enforce the law; not make them up as you go along. This sort of thing should be brought to light each time it happens, as LEOs in general don't do a very good job of policing themselves. If the public doesn't hold them accountable for overstepping, then no one will.

Gordon, You aren't going to like my answer, but I wish to be honest, and the best way to do that is to come right out and say it.   Based on what I've read in your writings on her regarding your brother, he should not be walking around in society where he could buy a gun. He needs to be in prison for attempted murder, or a much better situation would be for him to be receiving treatment in an instution.   Mental illness is a condition that doesn't seem to get the attention and treatment that physical illness gets. I would like to see more time, money, and attention directed at helping these people rather than trying to regulate anything they might hurt themselves or others with when left untreated.   I've used your brother for an example, only because he happened to be the example in the original post. Please do not take this post as a slam against yourself or your family.   I've seen very few instances where punishing everyone for the errors of a few was productive.

5 grains of Bullseye works great for me.

My marlins wear Williams Foolproof apeture sights. Hard to beat.

I have one in 6.5. A box of ammo is worth far more than the rifle, in my opinion. If Oswald killed Kennedy with one of these, he was a h3ll of a man, and could have done phenomenal work with a quality rifle.

Not any kin to Rick Gann I hope? :D   Welcome aboard. :up:

I'd be happy to hold him if you'll do the kicking. :up:

The last wedding I attended, the father of the bride stood at the altar with shotgun in hand during the ceremony. No kidding!

I don't know much about the Hall Income Tax. Hope I never have to learn. There is movement afoot to do away with it completely. I hope it gets some traction.

If it is an older Smith, list the serial # here and some of us can probably give you a date.

Sounds great. So how does this company make money?

Don't get rid of all your ammo and reloading supplies.

70% and "all" are not the same thing. Where can I file taxes electronically for free?

I expect Sam Hoster in Gallatin could accomodate you if you'd drive that far.
