When the ninth circuit is ruling in favor of the second amendment, that's probably a good sign to start looking for the seven horsemen of the apocalypse on the horizon.

OK, I know that this isn't a firearm. However, I noted a few others posting items they're proud of. This is one of mine! While in Iraq in '06 our Motor Pool OIC brought his knife-making equipment (he forges and makes his own). He taught some of how to make knives when we had some free time. My blade has been cut (with a plasma torch) from a piece of HMWWV armor (off an old vehicle). smoothed and shaped by me. The handle is a piece of wood from a door frame out of one of Saddam's palaces (Radwaniah Palace, southern end of BIAP). Start to finish:

My Magic Hat While in California I needed to go to the emergency room. Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my Magic Green Hat. When I went into the E.R., I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all. Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time. Here's the hat: Below. It also works at Dept. of Motor Vehicles. It saved me 5 hours. At the Laundromat, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running. If you live in Texas, it might cut your wait time at the grocery store. But, don't try it at McDonald's. The whole crew ran out the back door and I never did get my order!

Too bad we the taxpayers kept him in 3 hots & a cot for 18 years before the execution. 

So, about the ER....

I think it's very interesting that the only branch of the 3 branches of gubmt that is acting like the adults in the room is the judicial branch... My guess is that things are so polarized that the federal judiciary knows everyone on both sides of every issue is watchin... They seem to be commin down on a strict interpretation when it comes to the Bill of Rights issues...   By the way, hooray for the Second Amendment win.... We are livin in interestin times...   leroy

Here's a couple of my favorites: That's all!!! Dave

That wasn't justice, that was simply consequence.   Justice would have seen that creep hung and buried within a year of the guilty verdict.  I personally lean toward (in cases where there can be no doubt) marching them out of the courtroom to the back of the courthouse. 

So long as they add another amendment requiring a police officer to be on duty at every playground. If they strip law abiding citizens of the right to defend themselves and their own then it should be their responsibility. If they aren't willing to fill in the gap then they have no business creating one in the first place.

GOOD.   http://news.yahoo.com/ex-orleans-mayor-convicted-taking-bribes-190120317.html;_ylt=AqMUn1qyRfFLcqaA5WRGToLQtDMD;_ylu=X3oDMTBsbzR0bHJyBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMyBHNlYwNzcg--

This is probably a good place to start in understanding why the Ninth held the way it did: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/02/13/more-on-the-reasoning-of-the-ninth-circuits-right-to-carry-a-gun-opinion/ Volokh is excellent at explaining Constitutional law. It is also interesting that even in the 1800s, courts routinely held that laws prohibiting concealed carry we're constitutional. So, this isn't a new issue. What makes the California laws (like the one in this case) really problematic is that they effectively prohibit ALL carry, not use concealed carry or open carry. Also, just an interesting thought I read in another law review article some time ago. Many of the firearms restrictions that many people (including many here) accept without argument would be unconstitutional if held to the same standard as other constitutional rights. For example, most people believe felons (and particularly violent felons) should not have 2nd Amendment rights. But felons of all kinds are still protected under the Bill of Rights for other things (such as the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments). It would be unthinkable that a felon would have to give up the right (at least in total) to remain silent, to a speedy trial, or to avoid cruel and unusual punishment, but lose all rights under another Amendment (such as the 2nd). Again, just food for thought.

Slappy, it came today! I love it, but my daughter does too! :) Hope I still get to use it! I told her it writes under water, she said "Awesome! Go fill up the tub!" LMAO! I know I've thanked you a dozen times, but thanks again brother for the chance you gave all of us.

     That's one act that I don't want to "stick" anywhere  :ugh:

Man, I thought this was going to be aout the beer.

If you are a lib you are probably doing this! [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/cryinggirl_zpsb3b530db.png.html][/URL] If you are reading this forum, you are probably doing this right now! [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/laughs_zps002e925e.jpg.html][/URL]

Official response from Connecticut gun owners.

  If extortion means that I don't have to wait in line behind the 67 families that have never flown before and can't find their documentation or their children... then all I have to ask is, where do I sign up?

  What is confusing either you have a round peg or round hole. I see no confusion.

Love My Moras I have quite a few I like the carbon steel ones the best. I make kydex sheathes for them from time to time when work is slow in the winter and throw the up on eBay.

Snapped this on my way back from Florida, last year.

wow, the officials are actually stunned. . .they are dumber than I give them credit for

Military and LE get paid to do their job; otherwise their title would be Bounty Hunter. Rewards are to entice people that may not come forward out of fear, don’t care, or are criminals.

I have no trouble believing that this is true...the government is scared and they have reason to be.   The federal government...all of it... is almost completely corrupt (with a few...very few exceptions) and they are scared that the may finally be found out to be the worthless, corrupt, morally (and financially) bankrupt people they are. Even though this administration tries desperately to put a happy face on everything (even to the point of claiming that millions losing their jobs because of Obamacare is a "good thing") they are not stupid...they know that the economy is going down the sewer and they know that when it collapses (and I think we may well be too late to stop it) people...ALL PEOPLE are going to be mad as hell and looking for answers and looking for someone to blame and to extract justice from...and the government is scared because they know they'll likely be the ones people are looking to blame. The government's only hope is to try and blame someone else...the Jews ew...the "rich"...the "whites"...the "old"...whoever proves to be the easiest to blame or all the above.   We are heading for a world of hurt that will make the great depression look like a minor market correction.

With this administration, and with many of the three letter agency bureaucrats, pro-constitution is anti-government.   I will leave the corollaries to this position to you.

I remember when this happened.  It sucks they're just getting around to killing this POS.  Wish they still used ol' sparky down there.  It think that struck greater fear into these scumbags than a needle.

7.5" at Sítio BrasilNuts. Just looking out my window as I drove through OR this morning the accumulations seemed to vary quite a bit in areas. I was out at about 0530 and I saw several people out shoveling their driveways and the sidewalks in front of their houses. I surmised that they must be Yankees. :)

I appreciate the kind words!  I'll do a write-up on it for my grandkids.    My initials are stamped on one side of the knife and "OIF" on the other.    Wanted something to pass on.  I have my father's Bronze Star from Vietnam, my grandfather's fire chief's badge, my opa's (German grandfather) Iron Crosses from both World Wars.  Adding my own contribution to the mix!

Amen to that! A little projectile or a little rope and a tree would have been better!

A corrupt democrat? I don't believe it. Must be some type if evil republican plot to set him up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If anyone ever earned a seat in prison, it would be this prick.

Reward, or not, if you have information to prevent or solve a crime why not come forward? There are victims that could potentially get closure.

Yep. I recon any lawyer can piss somebody off bad enough to get himself blown up. Maybe it was some assisted karma :)

Depends on the maturity of the minor. Some minors I know are more mature and safer with guns that some grown adults.

.38 Special. Snakes aren't much of a threat. If you have time to draw and fire at that small of a target you have time to get away. Your main concern is of the 2 legged variety.

   It does kinda look like a .50 cal round ball and patch would be right at home in it huh.

The opinion is over 100 pages, so I have not yet read through it completely. However, it is interesting to note that it was a 2 to 1 decision and the dissenting judge said that the holding the majority's decision is in conflict with Heller. Also of note is that the Ninth Circuit is now in agreement with the Seventh on this, but the Second, Third and Fourth Circuits have held the opposite. Strange days, indeed.

 One of the multitude of reasons I don't do Facebook.

I love pocket guns. I always wanted a Kahr too.   Kudos on the the new toy.

david don't do the show in chattanooga.  wish he would, but he don't.  

An awesome souvenir indeed. Thank you for your service to our country.

Those are generally made good on, or at least offered. Interestingly though, a pretty good number of people end up not accepting a reward for simply doing the right thing.

  Any lawyer can make enemies, when you deal with anyone and anything in the legal system someone can get hurt or screwed bad in some way. Now killing someone with a bomb no matter what they did to you is a lowlife, careless way to do it because bombs are indiscriminant, can kill an innocent person. Someone has to be totally thoughtless of others to kill someone with a bomb. Don't know what the details or motivation is, maybe this lawyer really screwed someones life up. I might actually feel a little sympathy for someone if that was the case, if they had shot them or killed them in a way that wouldn't hurt or kill someone else but when you use a bomb the guy is going to rot in jail for life if i'm on a jury. Now a vengence killing I wouldn't excuse totally because it's against the law even though I might understand, if some dirtbag murdered someones family member and got off and they killed the dirtbag with a crowbar or something like that, I may have to find them guilty of littering and fine them $100. Anyway no one knows the motivation, I can't make an opinion except that using a bomb is thoughtless of innocent lives and whoever did that is a scumbag killer for that reason alone.   (edit) P.S. Wartime is a different story and killing terrorists with bombs sometimes is the only option. Besides there's usually no innocent people hanging out with terrorists.
