It was NOT an "assault rifle". An EYEWITNESS said he saw a pump-shotgun and a handgun. Watch the video here: http://abcnews.go.com/US/tsa-agent-killed-lax-shooting-suspect-custody/story?id=20754881 The type of firearms are mentioned at the end of the video. More false reporting, most likel...

Washington, it's none of your business!!! Chas. :iagree: , 100%! :txflag: Stand Your Ground laws are each individual state's business. I sometimes feel its like talking to a brick wall, but still: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the S...

IMHO, both sides handled this poorly. The protesters obviously wanted a confrontation; they used a method that guaranteed it, in fact. However, law enforcement played right into their hands, creating a scene that made the protesters' actions appear as civil disobedience. It would seem a more prudent...

I am writing this so the forum members will correct my incorrect thought process. I was sitting in the Instructor renewal last Tuesday and I had an epiphany of sorts. The DPS Sergeant Instructor implied he would arrest any CHL holder that smelled of alchohol. His statement was alchohol and guns don...

IMO if a person is walking around with a thin t shirt and the gun is clearly outlined that is not properly concealed and not an accidental exposure. The law change benefits somebody from an accidental exposure. Does that fall under intentionally fails to conceal? That is the $2 question. Best to co...

13 yo hispanic male with what appears to be a real AK is shot by police-urban/city enviroment = Gang banger 13 yo hispanic male with what appears to be a real AK is shot by police-rural/country enviroment = Innocent child unless the banger was out guarding a storage house in the country, as much as...

All this seems pretty clear to me. He is guilty of a straw purchase. Well it must not be that clear because 2 of the 5 circuit courts have case law that says otherwise. There is also the fact that just because a govt agency prints something up doesn't give it the force of law. The BATF decided on i...

Maybe TAM can remember better about this, since I'm not 100% sure, but I thought that replicas of that sort were already illegal in California. And by that, I mean they have to have some sort of high-visibility cap on the end, something of that nature that makes it more obvious they are toys, to mak...

I do not mean to trivialize the tragic death of a small child, but I want to ask one thing. If the child had accidentally ingested a cleaning compound, or ran with a knife and fallen down on it, or poked something into a light socket and received a deadly shock, and he had been killed, would this be...

This is a pretty awesome essay by O.A. "Bum" Phillips on what it means to be a Texan. Great read.

At my last annual medical exam while in the USAF, I was asked on a questionnaire if I owned firearms. It had only YES or NO boxes. I didn't check either one of them, and said so to the young sergeant at the desk. She ended up going and getting a doctor, who asked me about it. I stated that I didn't ...

I don't think many people on this forum, even the more liberal ones are indicating that they'd lay down arms with someone actively trying to kill them. I see a lot of "a thief is a thief" and "they get what they deserve" if they're killed stealing... Then I think back to quite a...

I voted no due to the simple fact that since I'm just a blue-collar type, I cannot afford to fight a legal system that would attempt its best to incarcerate me for defending my property. The sociopolitical system in this nation places a higher value on the life of a thief than it does on the hours o...

I know I've been one of the offenders in discussing some hot-button political stuff. However, I certainly understand the instructions, the reasoning behind it, and will comply.
