"It would be better if wilson county minded their own business" sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

A lot depends on the situation of course but my first reaction would be to turn around and find a different route. I don't see the need to put myself it eminent danger voluntarily. It just seems stupid.

Kinda reminds me of back when OJ got acquitted in a court of law after killing Nicole and Ronald...remember how we all took to the streets in protest, committing racial hate violence against innocent black folk to show how unjust the "system" was, that let go a person who killed people of another race?  Remember?  No, wait, NOW I remember, that didn't happen!

At any given time there is at least an AR15 and 6 fully loaded mags in my car.  If I am faced with a deadly threat from a mob with no more sense than to try and take a person as heavily armed as myself, I will gladly empty every single mag.   Cheers.

  It's a better option than having to shoot poor Trayvon for expressing himself :). If the popo want me to go the right way down the interstate, they need to move the obstructions.

There are times when action has to be taken even without backup or additional officers. Also the use of a rifle is dictated by different reasons. If it is reported the suspect has a long gun I deploy my rifle, I don't want to match a pistol versus rifle. I wouldn't expect any reasonable person to do it so I won't. Also I don't know how many of you have actually dealt with some real thugs or gang members they have pistols pulled on them in their line of work in their rough neighborhoods so pistols don't always have the same psycological effect.

The second one is from the LA riots. The police watched that as well as other assaults and murders take place on innocent people and did absolutely nothing. Proof that taking no action against violent rioters emboldens them and makes matters worse; much like a young child let to run amok in a restaurant without a parent intervening. They will push the limits. When riots happen police should be able to lethal force on all participants. Something we used to say in Iraq, "innocent people don't come running to the sound of gunfire." This meant that when the funk hit the fan, everyone not running away or pancaking themselves to the pavement is a target. Sounds harsh, but it is absolutely true. Referring specifically to these protesters here, they are breaking the law and are causing a hazard by blocking the interstate. Backups like these cause deadly accidents. Ambulances need to get to where they are going. As a citizen, I'll wait for the cops to come and enforce the law. But like I said, these clowns can turn violent in an instant if they are free to roam unchecked. When that happens you can bet everyone in those first few lines of vehicles would be a target. Think there are any young children and babies in those cars, sitting helpless and strapped into their carseats? Parents not knowing what may happen? Having no possible escape as they are blocked in? Yep, anyone comes near my car with my babies in it they will be staring down a barrel of an AK. If they decide to get violent every last person in that crowd deserves to be shot.

Wearing the CCW badge also requires wearing tacticool clothing and using the teacup grip, as well as looking down the muzzle end of the barrel in the event of a hang fire.

I am surprised there aren't laws against this sport! It should be illegal to have that much fun! I shot at ORSA today and I think I'm hooked! I haven't had that much fun in a long long time. I am tired but it's a good tired!

  FTFY

Agreed, what this really boils down to is simple racial intimidation, on a national scale, we are talking KKK at the height of their power sort of stuff, apparently with President of the United State's & his Department of Justice's blessings & even support. It's clear that this has absolutely nothing to do with "justice" or "civil rights" this is a message to white folks, that they are willing & able to take to the streets over any offense, be it real or imagined.

How did one side of this become “Pro Concealed Carry”? I thought this was a black racist vs. white racist issue. Is “Pro Concealed Carry” a new buzz word for white racist?

John McCain is a man who went through hell as a prisoner of war because he chose to defend his country in a wildly unpopular war and we should never forget the sacrifice he and so many men AND women made; especially those who made the final sacrifice.   As a politician, John McCain is a worthless piece of crap who deserves to be ignored and retired by the voters and who is absolute proof of how utterly void of rational thought and principles the Republican party is (because if they were capable of rational thought and had any principles the party would not allow McCain to identify himself or run under the banner of the Republican party).   All that said, I'm so not surprised that he is against SYG laws that telling me that the sun will set in the West this evening will get the same level of surprise from me.

WE THE PEOPLE of Arizona need to wake up and RETIRE his arse.....

Why? Because Obammy and his friends are the biggest racists of all. BTW, congratulations on the dramatic improvement in your avatar! :up:

People probably paid little attention to you because you were carrying a Glock.  If it had been a 1911..... :panic:

This is a different case than what has affected some of our members recently.  Basically you signed up for it, it renewed and now you don't want it.  I'll go ahead and refund it because you haven't posted anything for sale but only for that reason.  As the store says:   Please Note: Benefactor Memberships provide immediate benefit to the member purchasing them and as such are non-refundable.

I suspect he already has.

The last person I saw going OC here had one of those stupid gun show badges on his holster.  It really put a damper on my interest.  What a chode.

I used to do the scary movie/haunted house thing. But the older I get, the more reality sets in that its not unicorns and puppies out here in the real world. Having a little boy makes me realize there is nothing I wouldn't do to keep him and my wife safe, and the thought of them being in a harmful situation is scarier than any movie or haunted house.

  Rule #34: If it exists, there is porn of it.

I keep thinking its time to rethink a brush guard on the truck.

Once again, Zimmerman didn't use the Stand Your Ground defense, he didn't have to.   This entire thing is mind numbing.

There is a lot of things in this country that needs fixed way more than "Stand your Ground". All these people need to leave me and my rights alone! I'm about sick of the politics!   Dave S

Would've been interesting to see some ole boy get out of his truck and sit casually on his hood with an 870 resting comfortably in his lap, though. :)

My thoughts exactly. I think he's hoping that pant suits will eye him for VP. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

At least he didn't say Rule #34........

  I knew there was a good ole redneck in there somewhere :)

They don’t.

Because you know Denny's name, you are probably familiar with the incident and the LA riots which precipitated it.  In the Houston incident, protestors (rioters) were challenging and attacking drivers--one grandmother in particular who was trying to get her granddaughter to a nearby hospital.   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/17/caught-on-tape-pro-trayvon-martin-protesters-attack-grandmother-and-refuse-to-let-family-take-child-to-hospital/   The key denominator in both of these incidents is a racial vendetta.  In LA, it was the acquittal of police officers who beat Rodney King.  In Houston, it was the acquittal of George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin in self defense.   However, another element coming to the forefront in these recent riots and protests is the attack on our 2nd Amendment right, on which the Stand Your Ground law is based.  It's purely an attempt to control guns.

What the hell. I'm heading out to CHMR in about an hour, should get there around 1:30-2:00. Same stipulations, must have youngin in tow and ready to shoot. I'm not as flush as I would like to be but I'll bring a 100rbd box of mini mags and a few 22.s to use if needed. Just look for the portly longhair with an ar a sub2k and a bunch of other stuff taking up a whole bench. I'm friendly enough, come on up and introduce yourself, collect whatever supply's you may need, I always have extra eyes and ears and get some shooting in. You can shoot with my group (me,parents) or go down a few lanes or whatever. If you don't have a membership you can be my guest but have to shoot near enough to be part of my group and I believe you have to leave when I do as well.

After calling in a plate on traffic stop… Dispatcher: Unit 1, the owner of that vehicle is wanted for murder out of Nashville. Units 2,3,4 start for 1’s location.

Kinda hard to do that on the interstate, especially when you don't have access to the highway going the opposite direction. These drivers are trapped and have no options.

That is the problem with the system. Everyone makes the team. Kids get sent to the next grade to get them out of the system.

Please post the flyer

Depends on situation. If I have to get down that road for some reason, or if they show major aggression towards me or other drivers then the AR comes out, and we find out just how badly they wanna block that road. If they are blocking the road but not being super aggresive then Id lock the doors, handgun on lap and use the horn and push my way through. If it wasn't critcal to travel the road then Id find another route if they weren't physically attacking others. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I’m not now nor have I ever advocated “revolution” so I’m not even going to address that part of your post since it really doesn’t apply to me. I don’t think my question is all that difficult to answer; I think the issue is that no one really wants to face the answer.   I asked what makes you (or anyone) think that next ten or twenty elections will actually make a difference; I submit that the only realistic answer is that they won’t make a difference. Different reasons for that can be cited (bad candidates, wrong “party” winning, problems too severe/too far along for there to be time to change things, lack of courage among those elected to actually do what needs to be done, etc.) but the end result is the same…the United States will collapse under the weight of its own government. There is nothing “spurious” in my simply noting the complete ineffectiveness of the Libertarian Party…facts are facts, as they say, and the Libertarian Party has NEVER been an effective force on the national level (or really the state level for that matter). In 2012, all the third-parties combined garnered just 1.7% of the popular vote (and yes I realize Presidents aren’t elected by the popular vote but I believe the statistics are still relevant to show overall effectiveness/popularity)…of that 1.7% the Libertarian Party's share was .99% of it which, I believe, was the best it has EVER done…a whopping 0.99% of the total…someone color me not surprised!!! What that number means is that for a Libertarian Party candidate to win the presidency, he would have to move from getting that whopping 0.99% to garnering at least 33.4% for a plurality of the votes…that would be quite a turn-around; a 3,394% increase if my math is right this morning. You call my argument spurious yet you say that “if even a small portion of the people who are fed up would put their money where their mouth is and vote third party, things would change in a hurry.” Really? A small portion? How is a small portion going to more an irrelevant third party into one that is strong enough that it could have a real impact on the national level? It seems to me it’s going to require a HUGE portion of people who are fed up and would put their money where their mouth is! Moreover, it would take people you just got done saying are “brainwashed by the rhetoric of the two-party system”! How is the Libertarian Party going to take all those brainwashed voters and turn them into lucid, thoughtful little Libertarians? Is there a camp we can all go to that will get our minds straight?  ;) If there is a spurious argument here I think it’s the argument that the Libertarians can/will ever be anything other than a fringe party. Your comments about brainwashed voters is also bit insulting. Do you not realize that some of us don’t vote for Libertarian candidates because we simply don’t agree with the Libertarian Party? I’m not a Libertarian, I’m not a Republican; I suppose you could call me a [r]epublican or perhaps more appropriately, a conservative but whatever you call me, I don’t vote Libertarian because I don’t agree with enough of its platform nor have I yet seen a candidate that I would actually want to be in high office…maybe that will change in the future but I rather doubt it. More to the point and I say again, I don’t believe there will ever be enough men and women elected to Congress or the Presidency who actually have the courage and the convictions to do what truly needs to be done to return this country to its Constitutional boundaries and financial solvency and certainly not enough to do so in time to keep the country from collapsing economically. I hate being this pessimistic and I literally pray that I’m wrong…but I don’t think I am.   I'm fine with you or anyone else sticking withe the Libertarians but when you look behind the curtain I think, with very rare exception, it's all the same gutless, condescending, power-hungry crap politicians we've been getting for most of the past hundred years or so.

Sounds like its time to make some phone calls. Get me a name and phone number and I'll pass it to a few contacts along with the flyer info. They will push it on facebook and usually generate several thousand angry phone calls over this shit. I'm sick and tired of public schools pushing their liberal agendas. Its time to let them know what we think and to tell them we are not happy. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Her "Jews should get out of Palestine" was the only rad thing I can remember her ever saying (and of course a large part of the the world would agree with that), and it's unfortunate that's what so many folks will remember.   I mainly remember her for being a thorn under every admin's saddle, Dem and GOP alike.   - OS

Young thug wearing a hoodie.  Old thug wearing a suit.  Both a threat to our Country.

It's all designed  to blow our mind but our minds won't really be blown. Like the blow that'll getcha when you see the pitcha Of a bomber on the Rollin' Stone. 

  The "justice for Trayvon" crowd doesn't care about laws.

  No, it's not funny and I'm sure quite illegal.  They pulled this #### before with absolutely no repercussions from the obama/holder administration.

I don't OC. I recall reading a tactical book... can't remember which one... that promoted being gray. In this case, gray meant don't stand out. Don't draw attention to yourself with dress or mannerism. OC definitely draws attention to yourself.   OC means losing the tactical advantage of surprise. OC means that if a bad guy starts shooting, you'll be shot first.   Sometimes, though, I've stopped to gas up late at night and noticed people eyeing me. I've casually uncovered my OWB holster so it was clearly visible. I've done that once is a supermarket parking lot as well and the guy suddenly swerved away.   Now, if anyone wants to OC, I'm fine with it, but it's not for me.... color me gray.

If you're the kind of person who likes attention, good or bad, then open carry.  If you're the kind of person who prefers that people leave you the hell alone, conceal.
