I'm surprised, but in a very good way that your church is allowed to meet on school property. I'm glad that was an option for you. I think you're right about not carrying in the school gym. I also get your apprehension about the ability to carry your new church because of the school on site. Despite all the input I've gotten and the reading I've done, I've seen nothing that makes me feel 100% confident about carrying at church if there's a daycare or a school.

If they're for sale instead of for adoption, putting a price in your post would clear that up. Plus, it'd let me know whether to bother asking permission vs forgiveness from my wife.

I wish I was closer, I'd recycle them for sure.

And it's this Barney, not the one I actually like:

It says to me that the more popular opinion doesn't matter if those in power want to silence you.

You do understand the that Palestinians in Gaza bred and raised Hamas, right? The wholly evil and disgusting acts Hamas committed that you have doubts about are NOT reciprocal acts for what you think Israel did to deserve these terrorist attacks. Do you think the people in NYC deserved what happened on 9/11 too? I cut that off because is ludicrous to think people who raised terrorists to kill Israelis are innocent.

It's interesting how willing you are to believe Hamas is less guilty than they are while trying to convince us that Israel deserved this attack. "Doing everything possible to minimize loss" is indistinguishable from "let's hug it out" in life/death situations with brutal, homicidal terrorists.

Take a look at Detroit. There's Muslim concentrations in areas where cops are scared to go and they've even had the nerve to call for Sharia Law in "their" communities.

These monsters were nurtured in the arms of these Palestinian "innocents". These repugnant terrorist pieces of crap were fed, educated, and encouraged there. Hamas didn't raise them, Hamas gave them an outlet for the evil that was instilled in them by their upbringing. Not all Palestinians are beheading babies, raping innocent women in the streets, and murdering REAL innocents in the streets, but they all are complicit and their hands are NOT clean.

@Scotty hope ya feel better soon, brother. I've never known anyone to have the flu for 9 days str8. Wow, that is awful. Just added you to my prayer list.

It'll likely never end until one side is wiped out, right?

In the case of Israel and Hamas, it's like that FA and FO thing, right? I think shrinking Palestine is a good thing, it's like punitive damages works in a court case.

I would favor the isolationist mentality if it didn't mean psychos like Putin and Hitler would operate nearly un-opposed. It'd save us a lot of grief and money, but our enemies would get stronger while we got weaker militarily. Calling it apartheid is intellectually lazy. Israel is not fighting Hamas because they are different races. Heck, they aren't even fighting them because they are different religions. They MUST fight Hamas because Hamas gets these wild hairs up their butts and commits acts of terrorism then they get their butts handed to them and the people they attack push them back further and EARN spoils of war.

I know, but I'm not allowed to say.

I thought this was the crux of the argument too. My church does not operate a school. Our daycare is not a preschool/pre-K, just childcare, so I hoped it was exempt.

I watched a demo of this at the NRA convention this year. The install is semi-permanent. There's a toggle bolt that gets deployed when you insert the headrest to prevent it from being removed. You CAN remove it by unscrewing the mounting hardware. Looked like it'd be more time-consuming for a thief to remove this than the one on a cable.

That's just fate, right there. Only a fool would argue against fate.

No doubt she'll continue to vote in every election for the foreseeable future

I'd be assassinated inside of a week.

Better the devil you know, than the devil you don't. Her replacement won't be someone I like better, they'll just be someone younger.

Imagine the .gov levying a progressive fine based on your ESG raging. Ask them to close the border: 1% fine from your savings account, egregious violation (like posting somewhere that you think global warming is a hoax): 10% of your net worth, misgendering the 6'3" linebacker in a pink shirt: 20% of your 401(k).

I made an extra thick one for my carving knives, so my paws had more clearance room on the sides. It's extra coarse leather, so it sucks up a lot of compound.

No way I'm wasting perfectly good Hoppe's potpourri to clean a gun.

There was a decent comedy movie called The Distinguished Gentleman that came out in 1992. I was a little naive about politics until then and it really opened my eyes while it entertained me. That was one of the main things I remember from that movie. Politicians show sympathy and launch inquiries that never see the light of day to make it look like they're doing something.
