Don't be a wuss. Just shoot the darn thing.

Not me. I demand coffee. Let me know how I can help.

I don't know about auto knives (I think they're illegal, but don't quote me) but assisted opening is fine. I carry my SOG everywhere I go.

Yes and no. Regardless of affirmative action laws, I don't know of any way you can be forced to hire a particular individual. At least if you're a company that didn't take the bailout and aren't part of Obama, Inc.

I disagree. If I own a business, and you're my employee, I should have the right to let you go, fire you, whatever you want to call it, any time I want for any reason. It's my business and you have no right to work there. Just my opinion. And you know what they say about those!

That's where I was headed. But I do see your point about the officer and fear for his safety. But I also understand the world the cops live in, so to me, it falls under the category of "no blood, no foul."

The modifier "perfectly good" and "Starbucks coffee" don't belong in the same sentence together. But good story nonetheless.

I'm in.

I won't be laughing. You've killed one more than I have. Hopefully that will change when gun season starts, November 21. The guy I'm going with has seen multiple deer every day he's been out so far, which is about every day. Hopefully that trend will continue.

Man, all these pics are making me wish I had something evil to play with.

I don't know about #1. I know if detained you must provide the answer. Otherwise, I believe he was generally within his rights, which is why he repeatedly asked if he was being detained. On #2, you can OC in NC at 18. On #3, reread the story. It clearly states, "Around 2300 I was about to head to my friends house and drop off my pistol before I headed home (Fort Bragg)" On #4, no defense there. But they didn't know that when the confrontation started, nor did they find it when they patted him down, so it's not really relevant to either side of the story. On #5, he had already stated that he had made up his mind to be quiet, which was why he didn't say anything. All in all, I think the whole story was made up, but I could be wrong. Either way, this, along with the video of the guy who refused to produce ID for the cop in NC while open carrying, serve as great reminders that you don't give up your rights just because a police officer asks you to do <insert whatever you want here>. I think overall, cops are great people doing a pretty thankless job. But just like electricians, judges, doctors, burger chefs, truck drivers, etc. etc. etc. there are bad apples. Like that fat SOB that stopped me on Broadway a couple years back. I wish I had gotten that piece of crap's name, but that's a story for another time.

From their site: "The largest living history museum in the United States, Colonial Williamsburg is a private non-profit foundation that operates the restored 18th-century capital of colonial Virginia." So I would imagine that state law rules there. Haven't been there, so I don't know about signage, etc. Frequently Asked Questions : The official site of Colonial Williamsburg

When did getting whacked off become a bad thing? Unless it is by the mafia. I don't want the mafia whacking me off.

I plan on running Windows in a VM since I need some apps for work that don't run on Mac OS. Yea, it tastes great today, but just leave it overnight and it turns to vinegar.

The official de-Windowsation has officially begun at the LagerHead household. After suffering through Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista, I've had enough. Next year will see the first purchase of a real operating system in my house - Mac Snow Leopard. I've already made the switch to Blackberry and iPhone. Once, twice, thrice bitten, four times shy.

Ooh, ooh. Where do I sign up?

A born again Wal-Mart HCP virgin?

The other night we were watching Fox News, and they showed a clip of Obama speaking about the insurance companies. To paraphrase, Obama was saying that they run ads trying to scare people with misinformation, they pump money into Washington trying to get politicians on their side, etc. My 10 year old son promptly piped up with, "Yea, but enough about you." I have never been more proud.

Sexy!

Like I said, I understand the counter argument, completely. I just have a deep seeded hatred for drunks on our roads. Actually, I think I should be able to run them off the road and plug 'em right there. Then there's no anonymous tip necessary. I think that's kind of the point. An anonymous tip leads to an investigation. In the case of the guy in the truck, if the officer found a drunk guy in a truck and no bottles, etc in the truck, how do you imagine the drunk guy and truck got there? I am guessing he drove it there. Slam dunk.

A family friend was changing a tire on I-24 several years back when an 18 wheeler slammed into the back of his car killing his son, who was taken off life support on Christmas day. Several people had tried to get troopers to come and get him off the road as far back as Paducah, KY, but to no avail. Though I see the point of those against the "unreasonable" stop, as far as drunk drivers go, I say **** 'em with big capital F. I hope every one of them rots in jail. This SOB got off with less than 6 years in jail for murdering an innocent child. Lucky for that guy the dad was a hell of a lot nicer guy than I am, and found forgiveness for him.

Of all the full o' crap threads in all the full o' crap world, I do believe this is the full o' crappest.

Yea, that blows. Can you get drunk so you forget your troubles?

Signed up today.

I liked Nirvana right up to the point when I saw them in concert. That ruined it for me.
