I have to add.... I'm highly amused that here in Cobb County, the same counter is marked "marriage licenses" and "firearms licenses." I'm not sure that type of one-stop-shopping is the best idea.... :what:

Duke, They do those things here, too. I have no idea why the General Assembly put the CCW process on the probate courts, but there it is. The law provides for a person to request a temporary CCW permit (90 days validity) when they renew, so I'll probably ask for one of those, just to...

We have a new Probate judge in Cobb County, Georgia: Kelli Wolk. (For those not in Georgia, the Probate judge issues CCW licenses, called a Georgia Firearms License.) I'm aware of the lawsuits and complaints against the previous Probate judge, David Dodd, who retired. I have to say that...

Tonight on Conan O'Brien, Samuel L. Jackson, left-wing actor, let it be known that he owns a gun. And not only that, he considers being able to protect yourself to be responsible. :eek: He didn't get into it too much, possibly because he didn't know how to respond to the shock of the...

shooting4life mumbled: You cheap floozie. :p

Oneshooter said: Interesting. Georgia law just changed on this subject, too. The new law here appears (to me) to be clear that employers do not have blanket authority to search an employee's personal vehicle, and cannot make employment decisions (such as termination) on whether or not an...

This conversation reminds me of the one time I was pulled over when I had a gun with me. (That is, I was only pulled over once, not that I only had a gun with me one time when I was driving. In case anyone was confused.) Unlike Wyo, I've generally only had positive encounters with police in...

Gee, I never have that problem. But then again, the Home Depot location I go to is within visual rifle range of the main office--they're on opposite sides of the interstate. :neener:

From the BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4075411.stm (Since the BBC doesn't take down stories--at least, not yet--I'll only quote excerpts instead of the whole thing.) "Law on intruders to be reviewed" "Downing Street has agreed to clarify the law on intruders but has...

Liberals wear nicer suits.

Well, I prefer for my dates to be able to provide cover fire while I reload. :D

A new, working URL for this story is: http://www.dnronline.com/archives2004/10-23-04/local-story1.asp And, Norton, I'm not sure posting her e-mail address is a good idea. What if she doesn't want mail from us?

Eh, I think I was confusing the English Parliament with the Scottish one. I had it in my mind that England used a party proportional representation system for some MP slots. Double-checked it after seeing your reply, and discovered my mistake. Sorry for the trouble. :o

Exactly. It is frequently forgotten that, in England, there is a difference between the Crown (Queen E the 2nd), the Lords, and the commoners. The monarch and the Lords have rights (the monarch, by virtue of her heredity; the Lords, by virute of the Magna Carta and a couple of other items)...
