Small, relatively light handgun in a fanny pack just left of center. On me, I put it on my left hip bone and cinch it down. I actually carry a G-19 rather easily. You might consider one of the ultralight S&W revolvers. Not sure if this would work as well with a lady's hips- I know your...

Cropcirclewalker: You have gone from mildly amusing to insulting. :barf: DMF +1.

Must . . . not . . . get . . . sucked . . . in! :D It's all good.

Thanks Preacherman- been very happy over here. :D You also summarized my position pretty well. Point taken- enough fencing on the Conn Law issues. Thank you for putting it in a polite matter, too. :D

Publius- Tough call. I can see both sides (I should after reading each 3 times). Looking globally- can a purely intrastate medical MJ industry effect interstate commerce? I am inclined to think yes, it can. Regardless of whether you think interstate regulation of narcotics is allowable...

Publius- When did Jefferson write that? Wasn't Jefferson serving as the Ambassador to France during the convention? The second amendment might have been looked at in the way you describe. I am not saying that you are doing so, however: I find it odd to simultaneously bemoan...

Well Spartacus- you can either PM the folks who you think are out of line and give them a good comeuppance, or become a moderator. I personally have no problem with airing these issues in this manner. You also have the option of adding DMF, Cropcirclewalker, me, and anyone else you desire to...

CARRY'IN: just be glad you don't live in NJ. Oddly enough, I think CA is easier when it comes to obtaining firearms. You have more restrictions on what you can have, but it is a pain in the rump to even get granted permission to own them in NJ. No personal experience with NJ, but a good...

Cropcirclewalker: I would be happy to engage tyme on his argument. Personally I think he has found what could potentially be a hole in our system and confuses what is best described as the letter of the law vs. the intent. I doubt the founders ever intended the bill of rights to be...

Carry'in, you wrote: If you go back, the poster you quoted was talking about the lunacy that rears it's head when you try to buy a firearm in New Jersey (I have heard stories :banghead: ). That post had nothing to do with the gun show. Your post makes it seem (I may be wrong) that you...

If you look up the inner moppet quote, you will find it comes from the character Cordelia on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Cropcirclewalker: that post by tyme reads: Pretty Much. Founders created a government of checks and balances in order to avoid abuses. The phrase "More Perfect Union" refers to a government with all of it's requisite parts. Had they felt that ANY government could completely run...

Cropcirclewalker- I was making a constitutional law joke. A SCOTUS decision on a topic we don't want to get into (starts with "abo"), said that the right to privacy existed in the penumbra. By invoking privacy rather than 2nd amendment, it got us to the penumbra. Just to refresh your...

There is a lot that is not stated above, yet they are not absolute rights.

Working on it! :D Well, part of the problem is that sentences aren't sequential. If you commit two crimes one with a 72 month sentence cap, and one with a 24 month cap, it doesn't equal 96 months for the two together. You are more likely to end up closer to the top end of the higher...

DM- Never said it wasn't federal. Take a look at my profile. I just used "plea-bargain" (a phrase typically used in state and local courts) rather than Rule 11 Plea Agreement.

I don't know. I do know there is a prohibition on creating a de-facto national registry of firearms. I know I am parsing your words a bit, but how is that a restriction on your 2nd amendment rights? If anything, it would be a violation of your privacy, which, as Cropcirclewalker will point...

kbr80- I (obviously) don't have a huge problem with it. Just the checks, mind you, neighbors have no need to know that one is buying a firearm. In my job, I come across so many crimes that are committed because addresses are fudged/falsified, etc. Plus we (gun owners) are under assault...

The documents would seem to indicate that while something happened, it wasn't as sensational as they had hoped. I think people were hoping for a Grassy Knoll/Watergate Break-in type of event. I tend to like DBrowne1's theory (posted on Glocktalk) that something went awry (perhaps seriously)...

And because the result is repeatable. File a FOIA.
