I'm pretty sure they [ConWay] had to refer to all of us as "assets", in order to get rid of us, lol. ;)

A person has those rights - a business does not. In exchange for the tax and legal advantages conferred by a business license, the business is obligated to serve the general public. They may not refuse service based upon a customer's perceived sexual orientation, [or upon a customer's perceived...

They might have - but training wasn't offered to ex Cons, lol. [Moot was sold to Panther with the rest of ConWay Now's assets] ;)

People who insist that religious beliefs supersede law are going to be very unhappy when the beliefs are those of a different religion. Right now, those asserting their right to ignore laws that violate their beliefs [founded on tradition, not reality], are Christians, but what happens when...

If Obama had known that those 2 years were the only chance he had of getting anything passed, before the incoming wave of Tea Partiers [featuring Ted Cruz] established the practice of rejecting anything & everything Obama proposed, and refusing to negotiate, he probably would have tried harder...

I never for a moment thought anyone who buys a weapon would put it in a closet and forget it - but I suspect a great many consider an occasional trip to the range sufficient for their needs. Because they don't particularly want to "get good at it", they just want to point & shoot if it ever...

Muchas gracias, Mj, for the info. I don't do wiring, [got a serious electrical shock once, it took years for me to even change a light bulb after that, lol], but I may get it done when the dash panel gets put back where it belongs. [And was, until a Carrier tech messed it up in the course of...

"Obama's economic policies have put all these conditions in place" - say what?! The increased deficit spending began with Bush: defense and wars. Ditto the tax cuts for the wealthy [corporations and people], with the promise that they would result in increased investment in jobs, because...

The only question is just how many cases of arrested development will now have to do it, lol.:rolleyes:

Gun enthusiasts are not the majority of people with carry permits, so no, you didn't answer the question, which was specifically about the average Joe Public: how many of those keep their skills sharp? Or even take periodic refresher courses? Does anyone bother to keep track? The substitution...

Ok, calling it a "Hate Summit" is overkill, [but not by much!], but since they no longer use the "values" label in campaigns, it's up for grabs. I don't think I've ever seen such a list of crazy statements, misrepresentations, and outright lies being taken seriously by alleged adults. It...

I know I want one, just comparison shopping now, but the one question I haven't found an answer to is whether they all operate off the 12V outlet? I have only one, and really don't want to add more 'stuff' to it [already alternating between Garmin & charging the mp3 on long drives]. Do any have...

Ummm - what's the reason for so many long time members being labeled 'new'? [I suspect it changes when you post under the new format, in which case: never mind, lol] Also, what's the diff between, say, Highway Star's 'active member' label, and Moot's 'well known'? And is 'well known' a good...

That's one reason I don't want to have to move over a lane to allow them to enter - they're exactly the oblivious types who won't let you move back again! They hover just where you don't have enough room to get in front, so you have to slow down to get behind, or speed up & hope there's not a...

Of course it's the 'job' of those entering to merge, but when they don't [or won't], I have to either accommodate them, or run over them. I think they probably deserve to be run over, but the delay in my schedule and the ridiculous paperwork involved makes it smarter to just run in the middle...

No matter how well Cruz "handles himself" in the coming months, he's already got his message out, and a large number of citizens [some are even Republicans too] don't agree with it. Blaming "the media" is just shooting the messenger when you don't like the message.

That didn't answer the question I asked, Leo. We all know there are many "enthusiasts", but I wonder about those who aren't. Those who got a permit because their life requires them to be in sketchy places from time to time, or those who sometimes transport "high value" items, or even those who...

We need more like Jon Stewart!

The only 'proof' required is the belief that one is defending oneself or others against great bodily injury or death. A sincere belief [even if completely wrong] is a 'get out of jail free' card. I don't know how much training is required for a CCW permit, [I suspect it varies by state], but...

But Elizabeth Warren isn't known for an effort to shut the entire government down because she didn't like one policy. Cruz was "ridiculed" long before he announced his candidacy, not because of it, as you posit. Cruz is fearless at delivering the conservative message: lower taxes on the...
