Listen, I spend a lot of time on this forum, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that you stated that incorrectly. The proper phrase is "Don't trust Schumer, Schumer is asshoe." /squints waaaait a minute here...

Want to know how I know you didn't read the article, @turbobike? :ROFL:

Yup, round and round it goes. And I am certainly in support of the idea that "shall not be infringed" means exactly that, that the government has no business regulating this stuff, anyone not in prison should be able to carry everywhere. BUT, being realistic, there's no way we're going to be...

I think you probably meant this, but "searches and metal detectors" is not enough. Armed enforcement is also required. Personally, I'd also like to see such places also legally assume liability. If they are taking away our ability to defend ourselves, they should assume both the responsibility...

Chevy Citations were all front wheel drive. Did you mean a Chevette?

Funny how things change. When I was in college, I couldn't find full-time work to save my life, so I ended up juggling 2-3 part time jobs the whole time. Now Salt's son can't get a job because they only want someone who can work full-time (more or less). I've noticed the quality of service is...

We do have a tendency to blame/credit all sorts of things to the president that he really has little to no control over. We also have a tendency to forget that very few things exist in a vacuum. A president has minimal control over gas prices, and gas prices are impacted by many, many factors...

I know it won't be popular to say, but I am generally of the opinion that the economy under one president is more a reflection of the incidents and actions in the previous term, whether that be the sitting president or a predecessor. Essentially, what I'm saying is that a policy's impact is not...

I guess the wife must be reading this thread and just learned that our primary security system is "dogs," because she just asked me to go pick up another one this Friday. I LOVE NEW PUPPY DAYS :D

Unfortunately, no. Courts move slowly, and their makeup changes over time. By the time some of this stuff makes it to SCOTUS, for all we know, we could be dealing with a liberal majority on the court. But we don't even have to go that far - if Thomas croaks, SCOTUS as a whole will be less likely...

Bro, you gotta get them to pose better for their security guard badge pics. Here's my Chief of Security: :p

Dogs. Lots and lots of dogs. By the time a home invader makes it to the stairs - if he makes it that far - the whole house is awake and he is missing chunks of flesh. Then it's time for the upstairs dogs to go to work...

No doubt. But don't underestimate how gun-shy places can be about things like this. Example: "contiguous states' from the 1968 GCA, which allowed FFLs to sell long guns to residents of contiguous states. This was amended in 1986 to remove the "contiguous" requirement - any state will do...

Legally, you're probably mostly correct. But, I think the same logic might apply to online sales, and they have successfully scared all the retailers away from that. So, whether or not it can be enforced, it can still have a very real impact.

Freshman year, I noticed an elective called "Women's Psychology." Thought it might be a good course to meet some chicks. IT. WAS. NOT.

A scoop of peanut butter topped with chocolate syrup really satiates that need for a peanut butter cup. Mix the ingredients in your mouth :laughing:

This is tough. I started my college education at a community college, then went on to a SUNY school, and eventually to an Ivy League... and I was able to do this in large part to the quality and affordability of state school education. Bridges, roads, armies, education - that's the core of...

It's cruel to make something suffer.

Way too much "for officer safety" thinking going on here. As usual, spat is spot-on. There are processes and procedures for administering medical treatment to someone against their will: warrants for blood draws, involuntary commitment procedures, etc. Not "cop is scared and decides he is a...

Those immigrants will get off the plane and discover that they may have been safer in the country they left.

That's actually a savings. Insurance companies aren't doing their thing out of the goodness of their hearts, they are making money from the insured. If an entity is large enough, it can be a substantial savings to self-insure. I don't know whether or not self-insurance is allowed for...

Yeah, I agree with dwa12479 that this is the right response. An accident against the president's motorcade must result in a security posture that treats it as a potential attack. But I can't help but note that it is literally less than half an inch - one trigger pull - from the absolutely wrong...

Well, that is how it actually is. What you're voting for in primaries is whom the respective parties will put on their ticket. Anyone not disqualified by law can run for the office if they want to. But political parties can decide who they want to endorse and fund in whatever manner they see fit.

This. The liberal tears were an unexpected - and very tasty - surprise from the 2016 election. It's hard to imagine just how much they will lose their shit if Trump gets elected again. Looking forward to it.

It comes down to this: the situation sucks for everyone but the state, who also happens to be the entity that made this whole mess. Surprise surprise. I know this much: if I were an FFL, I sure as hell wouldn't do private transfers for $10. Would you?

The dealer would likely do two things: 1) Respond to the charges with "it was a $10 transfer fee and a $30 convenience fee." 2) Refuse to do private transfers anymore

Yeah, this is pretty bullshit, but I can't blame the FFLs for this. Really, they need to be taken out of the process altogether. Put the onus on the government and the seller, in that order. Don't mistake what follows as being in support of background checks. I absolutely am not. It is my view...

Of course they did. Related, gun control is for safety. MAYBE JUST MAYBE we need to graduate from the kindergarten mindset of punishing the entire class for the actions of one. MAYBE JUST MAYBE the DEC should take the initiative to enforce the law against the law breakers, instead of once...

Well, the saying isn't "ask questions first, shoot later" :ROFL:

That's both impressively stupid and stupidly impressive. A rare combo.

Aaaand this is why our gun rights have gone away in this state, folks.

And now you campaign against helping people who are trying to fight for our rights.

Five bucks to a guy suing for his gun rights who is not a prohibited person and has not been convicted of a crime. It's one thing if you don't want to contribute... fine, whatever. But when you then spend a fair bit of time trying to convince others to not contribute? Bruh...

Five bucks, man. Five fucking bucks.

And even if they did, they'd be unlikely to volunteer. The sad truth is that NY gun owners are utterly apathetic. Our gun rights are constantly tossed to the side because we refuse to do anything about it. And I'm not even talking about the people "out there" - I'm talking about the people...

I saw one coyote, that's it. As soon as he crossed the trail I walked in on, he bolted. Didn't even have time to line up a shot. Maybe Justincase and I were hunting next to each other and didn't know it :laughing:

(1) Was this recent, and (2) do you reside in Broome County? I ask because I have been fighting to make Sheriff Benedict follow the law. Last I checked (2021), he was still stating that he would (unlawfully) only accept applications from residents of Broome County. It'd make me a happy person...
