Re: Today in Trump's 1st term as President

https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/us-news/donald-trump-wins-2024-presidential-election-defying-the-odds-again/ Trump wins his third election for President. I am still surprised at the number of Americans who voted for what I think was the worst candidate for President ever. I know many left leaning peo...

Re: I Voted!... (Non Political)

Wife and I voted this morning. Took an hour from getting out of the car to getting back into the car. Lady checking me in didn’t want to take my LTC as ID because she didn’t want to have to type in the information instead scanning the DL. I just politely pointed at the “valid forms of ID” document ...

Re: John Kerry says get rid of the 1st Amendment

His concern is that climate change measures cannot be adapted. Yet in the country with the tightest controls on free speech (China), no climate change measures are being adapted. They are building new coal fired generating plants, the supposed worse pollution. And not a word was spoken about that si...

Re: Texas State Fair Carry Rules

For me, the reductio ad absurdum aspect of this is the degree to which the organization running the State Farm must adhere to ANY of the the rules of the City of Dallas. If they are truly an independent situation, then none of the Dallas specific laws and rules must be adhered to. But I'm wiling to ...

Re: Walz: communism "means that everyone is the same and everyone shares"

You may be correct that 50% of the public doesn't care about Walz's CCP-like policies I have a different view. Much of the 50% has no idea what any of that means. They are totally disconnected from reality. It is not firmly held political opinions that drives their voting - it is ignorance and propa...

Re: Texas State Fair Carry Rules

The fairgrounds property IS public property, belonging to the City of Dallas, and they cannot charge you with Trespass. However, they will have private security physically prevent you from entering armed. And there will be nothing you can do about it. Perhaps it is just me but the latter part of th...

Re: Texas State Fair Carry Rules

Here's the deal: The State Fair probably can't exclude gun carriers pursuant to Texas gun laws. However, they can trespass you and they don't need a reason. I don't believe the property is "public property" since is leased by a non-governmental entity. You are probably correct. I’m not pi...

Re: St Louis - murder capital of the US.

He was released from jail two days before the shooting, despite four reported bond violations in May. This is talking about the shooter and gun stealer. It pretty much sums up the situation for me. It also confirms that idea that being distracted with a visible gun is never a good idea. Today's wor...

Re: Book Review: The Art Of Modern Gunfighting

If you're far enough into the book, did you have the same reaction I did to the pervasive pro-Hamas fiascos that spread last week across U.S. university campuses like wildfire? Clearly that was well-funded--from somewhere--and centrally planned if not centrally orchestrated; might have been localiz...

Re: Book Review: The Art Of Modern Gunfighting

Thanks for sharing this book. I've added it as a priority to my reading list. My current book, "The Attack" by Kurt Schlicter is a novel but it deals with a potential situation that we might face sooner than many think and offers a perspective about how to deal with it. I think that we hav...

Re: Worst States to own a gun

It is a mistake, I believe, to focus on just gun rights. I believe that personal rights across the board fall in line with ranking for gun limits. Hawaii is almost a totalitarian state and New York, especially NYC is not far behind. Property rights, self-defense, etc. all pivot on the same thinking ...

Re: Police kill man at traffic stop, fired 96 times in 41 seconds

Things don't smell right on this. 1. Plain clothes officers would seem unlikely to stop someone for a seat belt infraction. 2. SWAT teams are not part of the normal traffic stop process. Who called them in and why? If they were already there for the initial stop, why isn't the motive for them being ...

Re: Background Checks Expanded

So here is a question. If I sell my car, am I engaged in the "business" of auto selling? If I sell my old sofa or desk, am i a furniture seller? Most of non-table sellers that I have seen at gun shows are individuals selling their own guns, not guns they specifically acquired for resale. T...
