I think we agree. I currently do not have a CC - but have been considering it. The hesitation: I believe (belief here) that I would be assuming a large responsibility if I had to use said weapon. It's a big deal. But, it sounds like you do take this very serious. More often than not, my...

Ding Ding Ding! This is the equivalent of arguing about guns/no guns - or twins versus chutes. Put gas in the airplane and be aware of your surroundings. Doesn't guarantee the result, but does solve most of the issues you actually run into.

No - I think we are pretty much in agreement on this one - the only distinction I would make is the following: - Gun + training is what delivers the result everyone is talking about - Gun + a bunch of junk on top of in in the glove box is what usually happens. (Popping a few beer cans isn't...

How to respond. It's been over 25 years, but I quickly realized it took a lot of luck just to "wake up" from what just happened takes a lot of effort...

My wife prosecutes cases like that rape all the time. (Among the child and other victim crimes.) She and her peers work keep the rest of us out of jail for murder. (Might just be me, but that stuff makes my blood boil.) Unfortunately, she also prosecutes a lot of guys shooting at and sometimes...

I would not assume members of "that party" are anti gun. The "Dems" around here will point their shotgun as quickly as the "Repubs" if you trespass on their land. Could be just this part of the country....

I'll fly out Saturday AM. I haven't paid a lot of attention to what might be needed food wise. Anything I need to bring? I'll be flying out before dark so adult beverages are out for me. Just let me know or point me to the list (was it on the google link- I'm iPhoning it at the moment.) So...

Be careful using generalizations. People like my wife that become vegetarian and then vegan do it for a number of reasons. But if health is the reason, they read all labels and learn (the Internet is good here) what things are made of. When there is a negative health affect, you figure it out...

A certain guy here on POA got his nice new ads-b with traffic. Cool watching all the little dots moving about. I asked him if he could see the yellow Piper climbing towards us. Just more information for the big picture. You still have to assemble the plan in your head and fly the airplane.

Yea, my wife is headed down the path to no leather, etc. I get the diet issues and eating to be healthy. I don't get the not even touching dead animals. I can be stuffed to the gills and I'll gut a fish for dinner. (I'm too lazy for a deer- way too much work.)

First vegetarian I met was a 6' plus BIG GUY. If you met him in an alley you would very much feel uncomfortable. I'll add in he has multiple black belts from multiple disciplines (and has his own school now). With that information: ixna-on-da-vegi-coments-ae.... One of the nicest guys you will...

So let's do a what if here and say "you won". It looks like you would have to pull the wings off your bird and prep for shipping somehow. Then there is the question of assembly. Also the maintenance questions come up. Some of these old birds have special needs (um, parts). Just assuming the...

Wouldn't a raw vegan be someone that only eats raw vegetable matter. Ive had meals like that- surprisingly good, but not something I could do all the time. (For example: I have a bottle of hot sauce made of Carolina reapers just waiting on the first bowl of hot vegan chilly my wife makes this...

There is something to be said about cholesterol, BP and other health issues being affected by what you eat. My doctor said I was getting close to needing to take one of those statin drugs. Although I still eat meat, I do eat most meals with my wife that are vegetarian or vegan. Doc likes my...

Oh Lordy - so many directions and I'm the dissenting voice. (Ok, partially as I'm also a gun owner. I just not a very good follower any more.) I agree with @DFH65 that few people really want to ban guns - but I'll add many use the topic to gain power by promising to give or take "gun rights"...

Well, the conversation was good until the LEO comments. There are bad ones- they are humans and (in my opinion) under paid. I get to meet a lot of the LEOs areound here. The problems they deal with almost daily are not the ones you want to hear about.

Hence the reason the conservatives want to stack the court with like minded individuals. The 2A isn't a slam dunk meaning we are guaranteed to have a gun in the home. The amendment is not clear and it is the interpretation of the court that is what the NRA and others are fighting for. Not...

On that one- I wouldn't last long against my former self in the army. Different world today.

Well, my wife is a deputy prosecutor- much more capable at reading the actual constitution and related law than it. So you will miss her read of the law. Regardless, the 2A does not state things as clearly as I've heard many say. The word militia in there doesn't help either. Then you have...

Meh- I've always considered the 2A argument a bit of a stretch. I'm good with the conversation that we are overly regulated. The 2A argument has been a good strategic move by the NRA. Let's push this word "need" for a second. Location: mid west. Would you rather A. Not have a car B. Not have...
