The law as written, versus the reality of how it was applied 40 years ago, means that most people were more free back then.

Yes, the law was applied with a heavy dose of discrimination, but the vast majority could carry a gun in the car with no problem whatsoever, and ladies were practically expected to have a revolver in their purses.

Castle, schmassle. "He needed' shootin'" was a valid defense back then.

You mean Republican appointees like Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, O'Connor... ?

We had one. I think it got locked. Charles doesn't want the subject discussed on this forum, which is his right.

Watch the language in here; it's a family forum.

Am I missing the humor, or is "Botach Tactical" something dirty?

Exactly. I accept that Ron Paul will not be one of the nominees, so that leaves the GOP liberal, two Democrat liberals, plus Nader.
