28/30.  Missed the Crockett gun and Chinese hand cannons.

So did they think the race fuel was ethanol instead of gasoline?  Perhaps it was home distilled fuel?  Tragic indeed. 

    Stand there and watch people die.  Yep, that's what cops do all day, every day.  :shake:     I don't have anything against open carry.  I have issues with morons with feelings of inadequacy who get their rocks off trying be the next youtube hero by filming themselves "standing up to the man".  Their inability to carry on an intelligent conversation and immediately defaulting to butt hurt does nothing but work against what they claim their end game is.  I also have issues with this constant "us vs. them" attitude.  I refuse to accept the notion that the police are the Gestapo.  The majority are just people trying to do a pretty sucky job dealing with society's dregs for a pretty sucky paycheck.  I'll agree that there's certainly a few bad apples with a badge, but treating all of them like crap doesn't make anything better, it makes everything worse.   After that encounter, do you think that cop is more or less likely to hassle someone open carrying?  I bet he laughed his ass off when he walked away.  I'll bet he told all his cop buddies about it and I'll bet they all laughed too.   So while the OC'er may think he won, all he did was stir the pot. 

I don't disagree that cops should be held to a fairly high standard. However, I also think that our expectations for them to understand the nuances of a huge variety of laws that we ourselves have a hard time fully grasping is a bit much at times. Last I checked, cops don't get paid quite as much as lawyers, so expecting them to behave like one is a bit much. And you never know what that cop was doing 30 mins ago that might affect his/her attitude. It may have been decidedly more unpleasant than some nitwit trying to bait them into a mistake.

So the OC'er should have asked the cop for his permit to carry? I'd guess the cop was wearing it on his jacket. Maybe if OC'er was wearing one of these on his jacket, the cop wouldn't have bothered him. If I've misunderstood the double standard to which you're referring, please elaborate.

So since all cops open carry, all open carriers have the same authority and responsibility as cops?

    Which is curious in that Hyundai and Kia are the same company. 

Yep, either here or there for a long gun.  Has to be done at an FFL there if a handgun.  Either way, call the FFL you intend to use first to prime them as to what you want to do and make sure they're good with it. 

    No argument, both were being dickheads.  But I still say that had the OC'er not defaulted to dickhead, the entire encounter might have been positive rather than negative. 

If I'm not going to make enough money at work that day to pay for the possible damage to the car, I stay home.   

Neat way to lock a door that any adult male could kick through in about 15 seconds.

There's a lot of potential reasons why cop may have been obligated to investigate. We don't know that someone didn't call in a MWAG, or other such complaint. He may be under standing orders from his boss to always investigate anyone OC'ing. The OC'er may have see the cop first and been acting fidgety and nervous in preparation for his planned confrontation. ....

Subaru. Super reliable, excellent crash test ratings, and available with a manual transmission.

Which guns to buy? One of each, two of many, three of some.

The only thing that beer is good for is cooking with. That said, I don't get the block of ice routine. They had to completely thaw it out to load it. I'd be more curious if it worked if they chilled it to -40 and heated it to 150 deg.

Maybe he's more persuasive than you....

Just wet here.  Doesn't look like the temp will drop below freezing until this evening some time.            Been there, lived through that grind.  I decided fairly quickly that if I wasn't going to make enough money that day to repair the  damage my vehicle might incur trying to get there and back, I just stayed home. 

That's terrible. :(

Moron.

I haven't been to the academy in Knoxville, but did go in the one in Hixson over the holidays.  They had plenty of 20 rd boxes. 

Best of my (very little) knowledge, the .50 is not considered to be an anti-personnel weapon.  It's listed for being for disabling equipment.

Plenty available by the box. Typically cheapest by the case, but half and quarter cases are available too. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/productlist/ammo-shooting/rifle-ammo/762x39mm-ammo?d=121&c=96&s=953 http://www.luckygunner.com/rifle/7.62x39mm-ammo http://www.academy.com/shop/browse/shooting/ammunition/centerfire-rifle?cm_cr=No+Campaign-_-Web+Activity-_-SubCategoryRecommendation+F%26S-_-SubCategory_CP1-_-Centerfire+Rifle-productNameLink#facet:-4214554654508851573283111118105101116&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&

Is it vertical? I think most folks like some cant in an owb holster.

Nah, couldn't be. 

It's a good thing crazy people don't hurt others with anything other than guns.  :shake:     A few observations....   1. Notification of the person subject to the hold is not required.   2. There is no specified maximum or minimum duration for the hold, no periodic review requirements.      3. There's no time requirement for the hold to be released after the person provides documentation to that effect.  Five days to hear a petition, but no time limit on final judgement.    4. It says "clear and convincing evidence" is required to release the hold, but makes no qualifying statements on what's required to create the hold.
