I'd say he's gonna fry, but not for the finishing shots. He'll fry for opening his trap when he would have been far better served to make that particular problem disappear. That reminds me, I need to make friends with a hog farmer.

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354252771' post='852737'] Dunno if that would have helped either, since he had the Ron White problem: "I had the right keep silent, but not the ability". - OS[/quote] Yep, hence the third "S" of "Shut Up!" I'd say that was the one he really would have done well to follow. Especially considering that nobody reported the gunshots the night of and the cops weren't called until he told someone else. What a dumbass.

Somebody forgot the rule of "SSS". The burglars had it coming, I have no concern or care for them. The old man should have just bought a couple of hacksaw blades and a few extra gallons of bleach. Problem solved, problem staying solved.

NP.

A field repair kit like the one linked below and bolt would cover the majority of issues that would be field repairable. [URL]http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/172307/bushmaster-field-repair-kit-ar-15[/URL]

[quote name='Lester Weevils' timestamp='1354232274' post='852595']I thought signing a petition was part of the democratic process? Mebbe they should revoke clearances and fire people who sign ballot petitions for the "wrong candidate" as well? Signed a ballot petition for an R or L? Immediate dishonorable discharge![/quote] They can't help themselves. Statists gonna state.

Seriously? The absolute stupidity of that article is stupefying.

[quote name='TrickyNicky' timestamp='1354204425' post='852424'] Not theft at all. You have two very simple choices, willingly surrender the paraphernalia or turn around and leave. The options may suck but to call it theft is simply inaccurate. The flat rate box idea is a good one though.[/quote] You don't have the option to leave. Once you start the security screening, you have to complete it or face arrest.

This makes me happy.

While we would like to believe the point being made, it is inaccurate. Per capita, Memphis ranks way higher and Shelby County has the highest number of permit holders in the state.

[quote name='K191145' timestamp='1353980866' post='851090'] Well i'm glad you cleared that up, so the next time I catch some thief breaking into my tool shed i'll just shoot him in the back, much easier that way. He started the situation anyway.[/quote] If only. :/ Sadly our laws do allow for use of lethal force for the protection of property. Texas knows how to roll.

[quote name='fauklin' timestamp='1353978666' post='851069']Put a bag on her head. It'll be alright. Bionic Post[/quote] The crazy ones are always more fun.

I have worked retail for over a decade and dealt with many instances of shoplifting. I have had more than my share of scraps with ####bag thieves. Most of them started after I confronted the thief and they tried to get away by using their fists, expecting me to disengage to avoid conflict. Hehe. The thieves have been trained by pansy assed corporate policies that they can act with impunity. They are quite surprised when they encounter someone who will give no quarter.

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1353956504' post='850877'] Where's ChuckieT? He sizzled a thief's junk on the hot pavement. Best takedown yet![/quote] You rang? I have no sympathy for the dead thief.

[quote name='Dolomite_supafly' timestamp='1353904478' post='850701']Ok what about a husband that slaps his wife? Should he loose his gun rights forever? Dolomite[/quote] On a couple of occasions my wife has slapped me. Should she lose her gun rights forever?

I don't know what happened there, lol. I had Mike in my head and your name came out of my fingers. Sorry 'bout that.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1353857675' post='850422'] I'm not dismissing the seriousness of the crime of Domestic Violence or any other crime here...but it does seem to me that our legal system has some very significant inconsistencies and I suspect that many of those inconsistencies are driven by politics and special interest groups which is something that should be resisted.[/quote] This is very closely related to hate crimes legislation for me, in that it blurs (or obliterates) the line between criminalizing an action, and criminalizing thought. While motives are useful in understanding why a crime was committed, or to help build the case against who committed the crime, they should never be used as an enhancing element.

I agree with Mike on this one. If you have served your sentence, then your debt has been paid and you should not be forced into a second class citizen role with diminished rights and opportunity. The manner in which we handle ex-cons promotes recidivism. What it boils down to for me is that a gun is nothing more than a tool. If I can't trust you with a gun then I can't trust you with a knife or a screwdriver or a hammer or even a car. All are potential weapons. If you can't be trusted with anything that can be used as a weapon, then how can I trust you to walk free in society?

[quote name='OhShoot' timestamp='1353781987' post='850107'] If TN were run by referendum, we'd likely have scary weapons ban, no hipcap mags, and no handgun carry. For sure, that would be the nationwide result. Half the actual gun owners in the nation and probably in this state would vote that way too. A lot of Kali state law comes out of their endless referendums. There's a real clue there as to why the USA was set up as a representative Republic and not a pure democracy. - OS[/quote] This X eleventy. The Founders held a low opinion of pure democracy as it is nothing more and a tyranny of the majority with zero regard for the rights or liberty of the individual. The closer we have moved in that direction, the more problems we have created in this nation.

He doesn't search, and you get fired.

[quote name='GKar' timestamp='1353729138' post='849932'] In theory, true...but i practice, its not quite that simple. I've worked with HR departments several times on matters of the dispopsition of "less than ideal" employees, and quite frankly, IME its easier to scrape barnacles off the hull of a ship than to let employees go "for cause" unless they make some egregious violation (ie, deliberately hurt someone at the workplace, steal a significant amount of company money/property, commit a violent crime while in the workplace, etc), . Its far easier to simply relocate them within an organization to where they do the least damage, or wait until there's a downsizing and let them get caught in the outward flow. I've actually had the theoretical conversation about an employee possessing in their car in violation of a company policy (where property is NOT properly posted) with some HR folks, HR attorneys and security folks at several businesses. None could tell me why the policy is written as such, other than to say that it came down from corporate legal management. None could tell me that such violation was, in their opinion, a "firing" offense unless the company was already looking for a reason to get rid of someone...and even then it was not likely to be singled out as the reason for departure, but instead used to substantiate looking further for more tangible demonstrations of insubordination. So no, I don't think you'll see many counterclaims, just as you do not see many/any firings for violating said policy. Disclaimer: this is based upon my experience in the NE corner of the state...all bets are off for points west, who largely consider themselves to be the real Tennessee anyway.[/quote] Working in retail management, I have to say my experiences have been very similar. The larger the entity, the larger the HR/legal department, the harder it is to get fire people.

If she pulls a Naifeh, then I think she will get Maggarted. Next election.
