Nah, I'm pretty sure that CTS was implying that he would defend himself against those who would initiate the force of violence against him, not those tasked with carrying out that violence. Why would one pick a battle one is guaranteed to lose?

Sam1: I understand where you are coming from. But first let's strip out those laws that protect the unions such as those that prevent employers from firing employees who want to unionize and more besides. Shouldn't be interfering with private entities, right?   http://www.nlrb.gov/rights-we-protect/employerunion-rights-and-obligations    

  Certainly you should be able to make comment upon it.

  I can guarantee they're not running the presses on that paper. Perhaps it's time to start circulating it again.

  Being landlocked kinda sucks. I recommend we start a campaign to submerge Alabama. It's not like anyone is using it.

  I'd rather they just sat on their ass and got food stamps than put together a device I'll be travelling down the interstate at 8570mph in with my family.

  Not everyone in Detroit works for the auto industry. Unionization has wider implications than just the people directly affected.   I'm actually fairly upset that this whole thing is was apparently allowed by federal law when it should be a state issue in the first place.

Could have some fun with a laser pointer or two.

I was flying through Nashville once a week a few years ago and I concur that the lines were not especially problematic (although totally unnecessary, of course). I even went for the pat-down every time (the one time I was late and would have gone through the scanner, I lucked out and got to bypass it).

  I note that while it says "TGO Vendor" over there <--- for you, there's no link to any site or anything. Perhaps you might want to add one to your signature?

Once things go a la carte, you'll just see genres spread over more channels to make you buy more of them. Heck syfy or whatever it is is a mess already. The world is heading to a pay-per-view model and that's a good thing.

Yeah, that's the first time I ever saw it done also and it was a stretch then. Every time it's been used since has been one time too many. Ah, I just remembered which one I was trying to remember. Though I did groan at the Stargate one, I thought maybe we were going to avoid it in "The 4400" and about banged my head against the wall when they actually did it.

The story needs to take a new turn. Exploding zombies or zombies that remember who they are or something. OTOH, what are the odds that the baby is going to carry the cure for the disease? As long as they don't go for the old sci-fi cliche of the fast-growing baby. I groaned when they did that with Stargate,

I see things this way, from "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress":

Uselton's is no more. However, it is being run by "Everything Weapons" now.

Sweet. He'll be eligible to run for office in Chicago now.

He'd better make sure to tell his wife not to use it to hide any toys. He might be getting a handful of something else when he pushes back.

Someone needs to put up a big billboard saying "We know what the law is".

No reason it couldn't have a catch. I've been thinking of a few options for concealing firearms myself.

Yeah! Now you've done got me thirsty.

Looks like it might just be held up with the spring-loaded panel?

It wouldn't be very effective extortion if it wasn't worth paying now, would it? :)

Extortion, basically.

You should type up and sign some kind of letter of authenticity to go with that.

I think his best quote is "You never go full retard"
