Amendment 2
That's exactly why I asked the question. The NRA, and by extension its firearms instructors, should always be on the side of less government intrusion into the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms. They should all be onboard for the
passage of amendment 2 next...
Yes, Bill, I remember those comments and commentaries from Florida. They're still at it today in Florida, and elsewhere, decrying the "stand your ground" law and saying that if not for that law Trayvon Martin would still be alive. I don't know if he would still be alive or not, but I believe the...
I read that comment by one female legislator here in Louisiana. A newspaper columnist referred to "the wild west". Alaska, Vermont, Arizona and Wyoming have allowed their citizens to carry without the burden of obtaining licenses and permission from the government, and they seem to have fewer...
Ramchandran is of Indian ancestry (the nation of India) and speaks with a heavy accent. While he's an engineer and obviously an intelligent person, I just wonder if the wording of those questions threw him off.
In any event, my point was that Miller did not answer the questionnaire and did not...
There is a runoff election for state representative in District 56 between Democrat G. Ramchandran and Republican Greg Miller. In answering a National Association for Gun Rights questionnaire, candidate Ramchandran answered four questions wrong. This may have been due to the way the questions...
Huntsman was put into the Republican race by the Democrats. He's a Trojan horse who the Democrats thought could cause dissension in the race. No one takes him seriously.
I was once arrested by the Louisiana State Police on a picket line while on strike against a large multinational company. According to the LSP, the folding Buck knife in my pocket was a dangerous weapon, and in addition to "blocking a public right-of-way" I was charged with carrying a dangerous...
I don't believe this change was motivated by a desire for an increase in money going into the state treasury. From what I've been told, by two different parties, one on each side of the issue, both of whom post on BayouShooter, this was sort of a power struggle between different factions in the...
Well, speaking of manners,. you're the one who wrote, "I really don't worry about folks who are too lazy to take a class but send off to Florida to go around the regs I , as a La resident , have to go by"
Dow (formerly Union Carbide) bought the old Shell Chemical plant on the river, next to the Bonnet Carre spillway. There's no sign identifying it as Dow. The sign near the main entrance says "Hexion Specialty Chemicals." Dow also owns a couple of units at the Shell Oil refinery in Norco.
Obviously you are ignorant of the requirements of the Florida out-of-state licensing procedure if you believe a Florida concealed weapons permit can be gotten simply by "sending off for one to go around the regs". Without going into all the details of the similarities and differences between...
The governor of Arizona has signed into law legislation allowing for concealed carry without a license, which makes Arizona the third state to enjoy this right. In Louisiana, legislators and others, who have a monetary interest in the matter, are preparing to make it more difficult to carry...
I stand corrected.
According to military records, Hasan worked as a psychiatrist at the Walter Reed military hospital for six years until this July. Congressman McCaul says Hasan had a poor performance evaluation at Walter Reed, which resulted in his transfer to Ft. Hood and "while there...
At Ruby Ridge in Idaho U.S. Marshals and FBI agents shot and killed a boy and his dog and the boy's mother and shot and wounded a family friend. All of this was unnecessary, but no one was ever held accountable. In fact, one of the FBI agents was promoted as a result of this incident.
In...
I doubt the army is training psychologists and psychiatrists in handgun usage. This terrorist bought the semi-auto in August, so he'd apparently been planning this for some time. They didn't tell us when and where he got the .357.
"But he said Hasan would have had to show identification if he had bought the gun in his name."
Leaving the unknowing to conclude that had he used another name he would not have had to show an ID?
Well, most of us on this site knew it would come to this. Couple this with all the PC crap coming...
Stupidity and political correctness are killing this country:
