My story mmics the majority of those who have found the path to relative financial independence, i.e., spend less than you make and save all you can,while you can. My wife and I were mere babies when we married 42 years ago, and didn't have the provebial pot to pee in or the window to throw...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I fail to see how the Founding Fathers could have written the 1st,4th, 6th etc. as being individual rights, and yet allocate only collective status to the 2nd. It just makes no sense, and IMO they would never hav done such a thing. Today with Chuckie and Teddy and...

What the law does is not encourage the taking of lives indiscrimently, but to ensure that if you take a life lawfully, you cannot be sued into poverty by the anti gun bleeding heart crowd. It seems eminently clear that if I am in a location where I have every right to be, and the safety of...

The whole problem with compromise on RKBA with the Antis is that they can not be trusted, period. Their agenda has been clearly stated time and time again, and that is that only the Police need guns, and that Joe Citizen can not be trusted to use them responsibly. Today your 50 cal, tomorrow...

While the odd of you as a CCW, ever spotting a suicide bomber before he has completed his mission, are slim to none, if there is just that one time, and you nuke the a-- H--- before he collects his virgins, Well, you get the Picture. What a Rush!

If only I had the problem discussed here, I would be a happy camper. Here in Florida whre I live, we had an indoor range, (air conditioned sometmes) where you could shoot what you brung as long as it was not jacketed. Owner decided he would rather use the space for storage, so he used the...

Actually I have no real objection to a gun free national Parks System, Just as long as the Feds accept total responsibility for my personal safety while I make use of their (Ours actually) facility. I woulld require at minimum, one Ranger for Bear Patrol, and a 4 man squad to attend to the 2...

Having just returned from a vacation in Alaska, I am a bit behind in my reading of treads on THR, howver, this is one I just have to respond to. Every time the right to smoke comes up, regardless of the location, certain responses are a given, one, that Smoking will most certainly be equated...

Oleg, When I first happened upon TFL in late 2002 and foundthat it was going 10-7, I was very dissapointed as it was one of very few Forums with a sense of decorum. In stepped this Foreigner from of all places, Russia, not exactly ones picture of a Gun toting, freedom loving, fire breathing...

Not once so far have I read any commentary on the Profiling supposedly used in determining whether or not a vehicle gets stopped. Having worked drug interdiction for a solid year on a major highway on the west coast of Florida I have personal experience, and never made a stop based on...

While I find the idea that photographing Government buildings is Verboten repugnant and a violation of my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it would be good to remember were this took place. New Orleans is a city like no other with LEOs to match. Even though the officer...

Forgive me if I snicker just a little at the sight of "wet, naked fat men" sitting on the Throne, holding on to their Glocks with one hand, and the Family Jewels with the other. Seriously, where do you live, East LA, or the Fisher Project in New Orleans, or Baghdad? I may have led a sheltered...

Using the ages of the respondents to this topic only confirms what I have suspected for some time now, I am older than dirt, and damned glad of it. Bullys have existed, I would imagine ( can only testify to their presence from 1949) from the dawn of time, and the only method guaranteed to...

For years I worried that by bending to tie a shoe lace or pull on a pair of boots, my CCW would print. I tried sitting with my back to the wall, repositioning theb weapon before sitting, wearing a heavier cover garment, (not an easy choice in FL in summer) and last but not least, leaving the...

The truth of the matter is fhat when the SHTF for any reason other than a localized riot in an urban setting, where the looting, burning,and stealing of TV sets, spills over into the area where your interests lie, there is very little reason tois more hang around and exchange fire fights with...

All the time. By that I don't mean I actually forgot to put on my carry piece,like my underwear it's another item I never leave home without. By all the time I mean that my Carry PIece has become so much a part of my daily routine, I don't even think about it it until some event disturbs my...

I'm going to have a go at offering a possible reason for the almost lockstep answer given by the "bleeding heart" liberal, (mostly Denocrat) politicians to the ever increasing violent crime problem involving the use of firearms. When the likes of Teddy Kennedy, Chukie Schumer, Diane...

Federalist Weasel, Something you hint at in some of your replys has me a little worried. If you recive no training at the Acdemy on enforcemen of CCW statutes, how can you even attempt to cite or arrest a Citizen for violation thereof. I arrested menbers of the public for any number of...

Citrus County, located about an hour North of Tampa, location of Homosassa is a fast growing County, in the process of losing it's rural appeal and laid back attitude. I have been here since 1989 and as of the present, couldn't think of a county or State I would rather reside in. Florida's...

Here is my take on this situation. The Carrier was entirely correct to spray the dog. His response to an unknown agressively (rapidly) approaching aniimal was far more restrained than mine would have been. In my LE years I adhered to a strict policy that allowed my to avoid being bitten by...
