Exactly...while workplace incidents happen, the real potential for danger for the vast majority of us is the commute to and from work.

I'm not sure if what you posted is what I've been made aware of but I believe there are two separate bills (that do separate things) in the senate and companion bills introduced in the house; at least, that's according to the NRALA alerts I've received...at least according to one person I trust, they are pretty good bills (I haven't had a chance to read them myself yet). ___________________ Tennessee: NRA-Drafted Employee Protection Legislation Introduced House Sponsors Still Needed for Companion Bills – Please Contact Your State Representative Today The 2012 Session of the Tennessee General Assembly is underway. On January 25, Senate Bill 3002 and Senate Bill 2992 were introduced by state Senator Mike Faulk (R-4). These NRA-drafted bills would prevent employers from discriminating and enforcing policies against the storage of lawfully-owned firearms in employees' locked private motor vehicles parked at work. SB 3002 would recognize that hard-working Tennesseans’ right to self-defense does not end when they drive onto their employer’s property or into publicly accessible parking lots. It will allow firearms to be stored out of sight in a locked vehicle. SB 2992 is a Firearm Discrimination Prevention bill that would protect law-abiding gun owners from anti-gun policies by employers across the state, including forced firearm registration, random vehicle firearm searches, and “gun zone” parking lots for gun owning employees. SB 2992 coincides with SB 3002.

My vehicle has been searched at the Houston Barracks...just saying.

Not sure which armory you are referring to but to the best of my knowledge, yes...no personal weapons allowed on the post; at least not without a lot of pee-arrangement...I do not carry at the HQ Houston Barracks in Nashville.

I saw a show last fall by the same name and I think it was on NG channel...if it's the same show I'd say it was handled very well; in fact, I still have it on my DVR. I wonder if this is a re-broadcast of the same show or a new one with different people highlighted???

The TSA is out of control but I don't think we needed this incident with Mr. Paul to show that. As for the fourth amendment; we've had the TSA for what, eight year or so? Has anybody sued them for violation of the fourth? If so, what's been the outcome? Anyone can call anything unconstitutional but it we have a proscribed method to address such thinks; until someone uses that method nothing is going to change.

One thing I know, if negligence is involved, no amount of signage or a stack of signed releases is going to save the one who was negligent.

If you want to consider what he did (or didn't do) as "draft dodging" so be it...I don't see it that way. I don't really care if he showed up in a hoop skirt and high heal heals...either he qualified for deferment per the rules as they existed at the time or he didn't. He got the deferment which tells me he met the rules to get the deferment...that's the end of story for me. The Vietnam war was unlike any other this country has ever engaged in and I fully understand why young men of that time didn't want to go. I reserve my distain for those who ran away; not for those who successfully used the rules to avoid going and I say that as someone who volunteered and enlisted while Nam was still going on.

This

He wasn't drafted because he received an in-school deferment as did many young men of his age. I don't have a problem with people who play by the rules as the rules existed at that time. Had he fled the country; then maybe the term draft dodger would apply but calling someone who went to school, even to avoid being drafted to fight in what I'm sure you know was a VERY controversial war is the same as calling a wealthy man, like Romney for example, a tax dodger simply because he uses the rules as they are written to not pay any more in taxes than the law requires. I think we should save our disdain not for those who seek advantage by breaking the rules; not for those who follow the rules..just my humble opinion of course.

I've had exceptional service form Direct TV...they are not perfect but none are. On those occasions when I've considered switching to Dish I always got the feeling that they felt they were doing me a favor if they let me be their customer (plus it looks to me as if their channel selection, especially HD/3D just isn't up to par with Direct. I will never again use the cable company...I'll go back to rabbit ears before I do that. The new service offered by AT&T is interesting but not available in my area yet!

Just like you have to have good people run for president before you can vote for them, a "leader" of any movement must want to take on that responsibility. I love both those guys but I don't think they want to lead a movement. Of course, maybe they just haven't been asked???

I didn't say he was...my point was that I don't and I'm not going to feel sorry for any member of Congress that gets caught up in the rules and regulations that the rest of us normal people have to live under, whether or not the particular member had anything to do with enacting the legislation/rules/regulations. So??? I didn't see a need to go into detail about the precise evolution of the TSA or its rules or its policies or how those rules and policies are carried out/interpreted by individual TSA goons (supervisors or peons)...Congress created it; the rules followed then the policies then the interpretation and actual administration of them...that's usually how it goes; that process doesn't make the rules/policies/interpretations any less enforceable. I know he's been a critic but other than the irony of him having a problem with the TSA I don't see why that makes any difference. His actual motives are known only to him...I wouldn't be surprised if he did this to give his daddy something to sink his teeth into - from what I've read, RP IS using this incidence as a fundraising tool so maybe that was the real motive??? I applaud him for not seeking to use his special privilege (although I don't think politicians should have special privileges but I guess that's another topic). That said, it doesn't change the fact that I think this whole incident is just the proverbial tempest in a teapot and that the story has gotten far more coverage than it deserves which is really all I was saying above.

Why? As far as I know, there is not rule against owning Glocks, revolves and 1911s (and if there is then I'm breaking the rule!)

After you check them out, if they don't have any numismatic value I may well be interested in just buying them from you depending on just how many (how much silver) you have...I was just getting ready to buy some more junk silver anyway.

I still don't see what all the fuss is about...I think we all know and have known for a LONG TIME that the TSA is out of control (not to mention inefficient, ineffective and and a few other things I could say)...this is but one of many, many, many examples of the idiocy that IS the TSA. Moreover, I'm not going to spend one moment feeling sorry when some member of Congress (either house) gets caught up in the nonsense laws and rules and federal bureaucracy the rest of us have to contend with every damn day.

I don't think people are "riled up"...he was being commented on because a link to him was posted above. In the video, from his comments, he is a 9/11 Truther. Now, everybody is free to think what they want but I won't wast my time listening to someone I consider a moron.

Well, anybody is allowed to believe anything they want.

Amen. RP seems to be surrounded by more than his fair share of them.

Oh gee..I don't know...but I would think a sitting Senator would have few more options on dealing with the out of control TSA than whining about it.

As soon as someone starts claiming that 9/11 was staged, you don't have to listen to anything else as the man is obviously an idiot. Moving on, what a big to do about nothing. Rand needs to stop whining, follow the rules and get on with it just like all the little people like us have to do.

I've not heard that before or known of it happening - if it has happened (and I'm not saying it hasn't) I suspect there was something more going on that someone simply refusing to be searched by physical contact??? More to the point, I haven't heard anything like that being reported about this incident...what I have heard reported is that he went through the scanner and it showed something that caught the TSA's attention at which point their procedure is to do a pat down which he refused and either left completely on his own and/or was escorted out. Now...if he really was detained (i.e. not free to leave) then that's different but I haven't seen anything substantive that indicates that.

I thought I had (read it that is) but if you are leaving this thread then I guess this reply is pointless isn't it

Even calling this issue the "gun show loophole" is biased. There is not now nor has there ever been a loophole. More importantly, the facts (and we do have them) simply don't support the assertions that criminals are getting guns at gun shows and/or that they are getting them because of a lack of background checks on private sales or that these guns are ultimately getting used in crimes; yet none of that information gets mentioned; one that Mayor Bloomingidiot thinks this is a problem; I suppose because he's solved all of New York City's problems.
