We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I went to Nebraska for my undergrad, and am planning to go visit this fall. I am planning to carry (if I'm not drinking) but want to ask: How do you realistically determine which establishments/bars "derive over half of its total income from the sale of alcoholic liquor?"
Given this forum I'm...
In the past weeks the Bundy Ranch Standoff has brought to the forefront the amount of land that the Feds actually own in the west: Specifically 84.5% of Nevada and 1/3 of the entire United States overall. Much of these lands are under the "authority" of the Department of the Interior, and...
Opinion: Was Snowden inquiring sincerely in good faith, or was this truly political propaganda?
Consequently, Snowden and his advisers deem the call-in question was a mistake.

If you live in Northern Virginia, DC, or Maryland you're familiar with the WMATA (Washington Area Transit Authority) police force. They are the police force who patrols the metro system and Reagan National Airport. While they have some vehicles their patrols seems to be mostly on foot (riding...

The VA hospital was unapologetic and conversely applauded the federal detainment and citation.
Reports that political and bias curriculum is being distributed under the guise of common core.

Really?
Anyone who is idiotic enough to support or sign that petition should leave the states and live in Russia for 1 full year to pledge their allegiance to the Kremlin...

I started skimming this article yesterday, (the day AFTER April Fools) in a state of sustained disbelief :shocker:. Then I got to the last line, "Governor reportedly said 'relax, buddy! It’s just...

And of course an official apology will ensure his approval ratings go unscathed:

An Ohio high school student has already been jailed and kicked out of school, charged with a Felony, spent 18 days in Jail, released on $500,000 bond and an ankle bracelet.
Why? For having a pocket knife in his car, and now he fears he could lose his dream of serving in the Army. The...

The reason for the theatrics (pun intended :lol:)? To advance Maryland to a shall issue state. Obviously, this is being done at the expense of long-gun OC.
Given long-gun OC is off limits on this forum we won't discuss...
I feel we're at a stalemate. To date there are 5 Constitutional Carry states, 37 Shall Issue, and 8 May Issue States. I contend we will not see any reduction of the "8 May Issue" counts until there is a ruling from SCOTUS. The one potential exception I foresee is the recent ruling of the US 9th...
I have a federal client who is vehemently "anti-gun". Of course I don't air my political opinions in the office, and especially not to clients, so she doesn't know my stance. However, this scenario in which she is currently committing a felony. I have half a mind to call the agency's police...
From an initial glace at the Dept. Homeland Security FFDO (Federal Flight Deck Officer) qualifications, if you have an FAA Commercial certificate, theoretically you could qualify as an FFDO. Consequently, you would be covered under LEOSA.
If that reasoning holds true (subject to fact checking...
Sad story. This is one reason I support HR 2959: National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2013; that is when traveling the interstates carrying for self-defense is a need.
And there's no certainty there would've been a different outcome, but at least this victim would've had the opportunity...
Already in effect as of January 1, 2014 anyone littering a cigarette butt may be charged with a misdemeanor for the first two offenses, and a felony charge for the third offense. I can't help but think, especially with Quinn's vow to decrease prison populations that this is a subtle, back-door...
Never thought twice about it until I was at the Nation's Gun Show this weekend in the Ole Dominion, and I saw a sticker on some of the cases "No shell casing included per MD, NY Law"
Apparently some states require the first shell casing fired, in a factory-sealed envelope. I suppose it's of...
As you probably already know, in July 2013 IL passed legislation effectively preempting all handgun restrictions.
Yet, Chicago in their unrelenting efforts to disarm law abiding citizens enacted an ordinance against laser sites. Several other municipalities also have similar ordinances...
