Re: Can of worms to open here

I see no role of state or federal government in anything such as this.

I understand your frustration but passing a law is not a solution to everything.

This is not intended to cause a flame war --- just my opinion.

Re: taking your guns from you

New Orleans and Katrina. There will be an emergency that will be the excuse just like New Orleans. How many of those people fought the police when they came?

Re: Tai Chi Chuan

You can try Jeff Bolt's school. http://www.jeffbolt1.com/

Jeff was one of the founders of American kung fu. His tai chi class certainly used to be one of the best. He also teaches tai chi sword and other weapons.

Re: Is it time for Texas and/or other states to Secede?

What is very interesting to me is that when George W. Bush was elected last time quite a number of liberals; especially in Vermont, began talking about seceding from the Union.

So I guess the thought process works both ways - liberal and conservative.

Re: Free Advanced training

Training around Houston I would be interested in. My wife might even join in the fun as I bought her a Bersa 380 and she is becoming avid.

Regarding Islamic terrorist attacking schools -- they already have -- in Russia. Everyone remember that?

Given that I think that this is probably the correct scenario - but public officials will not publicly acknowledge such. It would create a backlash.

Actually practically no attorney learns how to bond out a client in law school. They learn that like everything else - the school of hard knocks.

A few years ago I read about a sheriff in Wyoming who shot a deputy to death. During the trial, an expert was called. Part of his testimony had the baliff hold a gun with blanks on him with instructions to fire as soon as the baliff saw him move. The expert proceeded to tell the jury about reaction ...
