Hope you're having a good time...

My mother had just dropped me back off at my house after leaving her car in the shop and taking mine. I had left the TV on the news and it was just shortly after the first plane hit. As many others were, I was watching live with the second plane hit and all I could say was "Oh my God!" over and over. I have been watching specials on TV the last few days and still get just as mad and as sad as I did nine years ago.

Yep considering in several states it is legal for 18-20 to buy a handgun in a private sale and to posses it...and even carry it some states....only makes sense that a FFL should be able to sell to them as well.

On here at least the Admin does, but not Mods. But also as Verbal Kint said, the sheer volume on here would really prevent any snooping...shoot Dave can barely find time to post? As to the actual question, I think....I'm not sure if webots/spiders can search through the PMs or not.

Just a reminder....... Code of Conduct No need to respond to this post in the thread as that would be additional crapping. Any questions/comments can be PM'd to me.

Interesting...

Well if you have struck someone with it, you have adapted it to strike someone. I guess really my point maybe moot. If you have struck someone with it...that action is probably what you would be charged with and not the carrying of the flashlight/club after the fact. It just seems I remember hearing some LEOs saying that they could use their discretion to deem almost anything that could be used for striking as a club and confiscate it if they chose it. Seems like you posted in another thread that LEOs are going to do whatever they are going to do.....

Well I do think depending on the circumstances a MagLite could be considered a club (that is illegal to carry per 39-17-1307) 39-17-1301(2) "Club” means any instrument that is specially designed, made or adapted for the purpose of inflicting serious bodily injury or death by striking a person with the instrument. But in general, just sitting in your vehicle...I don't think it would be a problem.

SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!

No, I hadn't

Ok guys.....let's get away from making comments about each other. Thanks...

Well if that doesn't fully answer the orginal question I don't think anything will....

Well the whole time I was in school and the last 15 years I have had kids in school this hasn't been an issue with me and I'm really not worried about it now....so most of this is just a point of view and/or opinion for me. I admit I have not ever worrry about this and don't feel I will, but........ If I'm not of the mind to let him....I'd hate to see the principal try to physcially stop me from getting in my vehicle and leaving if I chose to.

Exactly....and I don't think you can hold me there just to search my vehicle.

So wait a minute...I forgot.....should I take it out the holster at night or not?

"You may beat the charge, but you can't beat the ride." right.....lol I guess one thing is none of the schools I've been to or my kids have gone to have such signs on the property. But still not sure what you would be arrested for? Not allowing them to search when they have no cause to? Now if they have PC to search it really doesn't matter what any sign says....

Ummmm.....no one means don't take it out for the reasons you stated. They mean don't take it out to threaten anyone....that if the situation has got to that point, draw to use it, not to show it.

Just because a sign may say that doesn't make it legally so. But even if it is, you have given consent voluntarily and can revoke that consent at anytime.

I was waiting for you to say your son then said something about your handgun in comparrison to the trooper's.....

I think that about sums it up. A HCP is a vaild form of ID but no business is required to accept it.

AFAIK every Pizza place (Chain and Local) I have ever dealt with didn't include extra cheese as a regular topping and charged extra for it.

Well....the law is not 100% clear (imagine that). There are two parts to 39-17-1309. One deals with the "intent to go armed" and the other doesn't. The part that says it is ok for a non-student adult etc..... is an exception for the part that does not deal with the "intent to go armed". There is no exemption for leaving it in your vehicle under the "intent to go armed" part. Some have said if the weapon is loaded or ammo near, that shows an "intent to go armed", some have said they don't think it does. There was a bill introduced last session to make it clearly legal, but it was sent to summer study again. There is also an AG opinion about parks being used by schools in which he says that a HCP holder could but his handgun in his vehicle while on the grounds of a park being used by a school...which IMO is the same as other school grounds then. Personally, I think it is legal, also I don't ever plan on doing anything to cause my vehicle to be searched while I'm on school grounds.

Steering? Maybe staring... But that's not polite.....
