      ND at Boone County Courthouse

      I'm late to the party, but this is a good example of why all weapons are treated as loaded and pointed in a safe direction. Firearms are tools of the trade for LEOs, so it's no surprise "professional" NDs occur. Familiarity does breed contempt. Except for the shotgun blowing the clock off the...

      Applying for LTCH with mental health history

      An acquaintance went through this a year or so ago. He obtained a letter from his psychiatrist. I didn't see the letter, but basically the doctor said there was nothing to indicate the person was incapable of responsibly possessing a firearm. Lawyer or not, I would assume this would be a good...

      Gov. Pence authorizes arming of National Guard Facilities

      "Personal" weapons vs. government owned weapons - does this lessen the State's liability?

      I disarmed a lawful carrier today

      I don't post often lately, but couldn't pass on +1 for the OP. In regards to above quoted, back in the old days (~1975) my partner ended up with a real nice Garand from a widow who called 911 wanting to see it get a good home.

      Search of your vehicle

      Perhaps not totally within the scope of the OP, but if the officer has cause to impound the vehicle, the scenario changes.

      Police: Shooting at Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas

      All peaceful religions, denominations, sects, etc. should condemn such violence.

      Police: Shooting at Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas

      I am open to persuasion, but one would think that if main stream Islam followers and leaders put half the effort into condemning violence as the radicals put into promoting it, we'd be seeing less such acts.

      Police: Shooting at Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas

      This particular incident was perpetrated by criminals, but based upon an attitude that seeks to deprive others of their Constitutional rights. I think I saw a recent poll where most Muslims don't necessarily agree that displaying such images should be allowed, even in the U.S.. I've been to a...

      Police: Shooting at Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas

      One can argue that the Texas contest was inflammatory, or insensitive or even hateful. However, it's a 1st Amendment right exercised in this country. That same 1st Amendment allows Muslims (and others) to freely practice their religion in this country. IMO, the issue is assimilation. This is...

      The SB 101 (Religious Freedom Restoration) Thread

      I’ve been trying to follow this thread and much of the associated media circus in an effort to understand the good, bad and ugly of Indiana’s RFRA. Allow me to summarize what I think I’ve observed and please set me straight if this isn’t a correct assessment. IGA drafts a bill to “restore”...

      The SB 101 (Religious Freedom Restoration) Thread

      Indiana lawmakers are "clarifying" RFRA, not changing it. Apparently some of the bill's original supporters disagree. Advance America posted the change is destroying religious freedom protection in Indiana.

      The SB 101 (Religious Freedom Restoration) Thread

      The Federal RFRA and SCOTUS have been cited often during these discussions. The SCOTUS decisions were fairly narrow and based upon individuals and closely held businesses. Indiana's definition of "person" is much broader than the Federal version, which could make it subject to judicial...

      Compromise and politics

      :dunno: You got that out of my post? Divided by a common language.

      Compromise and politics

      I'm not talking about compromising between right and wrong or good and evil. (Evil is often in the eyes of the beholder though.) Nope, all apples and some of them are over ripe. Without compromise the Founders were in an impasse over "evil" slavery. :yesway:
