So what about those of us with cats and dogs? Heh. I stroke the biggest fattest cat and say "Who's daddy's little emergency rations? That's right, you are!"

Yah, I guess you're right. I've seen a snub nosed GP identified as an SP101 before, and the six shots threw me.

Yep. It's the tax that everyone ignores. But if tstate economies continues to drag I wouldn't be surprised to see them get together and work on enforcing it as a way to either get the tax revenue from online purchases or steer people back towards brick & mortar stores. Here you go: Sales and Use Tax

That's a Ruger GP100 in your picture, not an SP101.

True, and I'm not disparaging them or their information at all. I'm saying that if I were in his situation I wouldn't go forward without proof that I had consulted (paid for an official opinion) a lawyer, and ideally got a letter from the parole officer.

If I were in a position where I had no choice but to live with a convicted felon I would do two things: 1) Drop a few bucks on an hour of a lawyer's time. Find out what the law says, not what an internet gun board thinks. 2) Assuming he still has to see one, get a letter from the felon's parole officer explaining what they think has to be done. Barring either of these, I wouldn't bring my firearms into a home with a felon. Store them somewhere else.

I've always suspected that story Liddy tells is utter BS.

Love it.

Someone who finds themselves looking at something they can't face? I'm only 40, but if I found out I had alzheimers I'd probably take a long walk in the woods and eat a bullet.

I understand completely. My salary is a matter of public record, and every time the Tennessean does a story about the budget they link that searchable database they put together with all of our salaries in it.

Better.

So what would you hang on an urban ghillie suit? Silverware? Old bottles and cans? A newspaper or two?

Wow. Somehow in my interactions with LEOs over the years I seem to have avoided that sea. The worst encounter I've ever had is a speeding ticket in a fairly blatant speed trap. Was it a trap? Sure. But I was still speeding. He was completely professional about it. On the other hand, positive encounters: I've had a LEO pick me up on the side of the road as I was hiking down the interstate away from my dead car. He gave me a lift to the next exit and made sure I was able to reach someone from a payphone (this was pre-cell days) before he left. The LEO's who showed up for the 911 call when my wife died were compassionate and helpful. In hindsight, after the shock wore off, I can tell they scoped the situation out with some careful questions to make sure nothing illegal had taken place. Perfectly understandable. Two ends of the seriousness spectrum there, but they've been typical of my encounters over the years. Oh, wait. I do remember one horrible thing. I had to change a flat in the middle of a thunderstorm on the interstate in the middle of the night. The trooper pulled up and asked me if he could be of any assistance just as I was finishing up and putting stuff back in the trunk. Damn him, he should have come along 10 minutes earlier.

Here you go. I think this was what you meant to do:

No doubt. I'm still holding off on getting mine for that very reason. I'm hoping they'll pass the law closing the list.

Yeah. Everyone complains about attaching unrelated riders to bills until it's something they really want. Personally I think unrelated bills should not be grouped together for any reason.

I met her once, oddly enough just a few weeks before my wife died. She seemed like a genuinely nice person. Molonlabetn, I hope things have improved for you. If your experience has been like my own, things get easier over time, but little things that used to slide right on by jump out at you now. Take care man.

When I was in high school, my fellow military brats and I used to joke about that. We figured there was no point in worrying about WWIII / The Bomb, as we likely wouldn't even know that it had started, much less ended.

If you've ever lived on base and read the signs, you know that you do give up quite a few rights merely by entering. disclaimer: I was never in the armed forces, (wanted to, but was turned down - stupid arthritis), but I spent the first 17 years of my life living on military bases around this country and around the world.

Great idea. Let us know when you finish sorting them out and post them.

You don't have to be a lawyer to inform yourself on an issue in which you take an interest, anymore than you have to be a mechanic to change your oil or a Comp Sci major to build a web site.

Short answer: nope. If that were true then John McCain would also have been ineligible for election, as he was born in Panama to American parents.

That certainly wouldn't break my heart.
