so this time instead of starting a new thread they found the old one.
No, the new thread posting was about a robbery/murder. That was different than the original discussing CC policy.
It's entirely not the same as the perennial non-search threads like:
"What is the best 1911"
"Discuss 9mm vs. .45"
and of course:
"What's the best Zombie gun?"
Year or more old threads should be like old Soldiers - just let them fade away. Or better yet, lock them shut.
