Yahoo just trended the GMA MSM report on a Nevada range that answers, "Why it's OK for Kids to use Uzi's.... Gotta be some anti-gun spin in here somewhere....

I visited Memphis in 1997. I recall, because the morning of my departure was a Sunday Morning, and the news was filled with the death of Princess Diana, which had occurred the previous Sat. night. I visited a few of those tourist places like you. I found that most were, in fact, tourist traps. I got as far as the Loraine Motel (MLK site), but I was told I could not bring my camera in with me. I would have to leave it at the desk. I walked right out. Same thing for "Pyramid," Graceland, etc. (I didn't even bother to go there). Of course, they wouldn't allow you to bring in cameras, because they wanted to sell you *their* canned, ridiculously priced pictures! Just like a movie theater doesn't allow you to bring in your own snacks, so they can sell you that way overpriced junk. Still, I had a good time. Stayed in the Peabody. Got to go to Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous (right across the street). Loved it. BTW, the "duck" thing in the Peabody is not worth the trouble, either, albeit "free" if you stay at the hotel. First, you have to fight your way to the front of the crowds to see anything (and I ended up thinking that the hotel mgt. seeds the front line of the crowd with VIPs and high rollers that paid for the most expensive rooms... the front areas were packed solid 1/2hr beforehand ).... The ducks live on the roof on the outside (in an enclosure). At the appointed time, they are brought from the roof enclosures to a waiting elevator (which is shut down from public use at the time). When the announcement is made in the lobby, the elevator door opens, and the ducks come flying out of (or go flying into) the elevator to/from the lobby fountain. Not literally "flying" of course but it's also not a slow march either... not as slow as they make it seem. If you blink, you miss it. And it's easy to miss, since people are jockeying with you to get to the front to see them and/or take pictures/video. After the 2nd day, I didn't even bother anymore.

Many carry concealed in FL. And they don't print or otherwise reveal. They are well trained.

Either there, of it the record has specific "keyword" fields on which to search.

Even a simple "keyword" search on "any/all words entered" would be great. So, if I enter "Para Expert" it would search for items containing either "Para" or "Expert." Or, if I said "Para+Expert," It would search for "Para Expert" as a whole, anywhere in the description. But the problem being, your descriptions also have to have those terms within themselves.

Same as above. The site itself looks nice, but it needs reliable, accurate content. Also, be very careful with your "Search terms" on the front page. Some people know these weapons by certain familiar names/terms. If your search engine can't handle those terms, the results will, more than likely come up "empty" than not. For Example, if I search on one my inventory items, the "Sig Sauer P226," I get very decent hits immediately. But, if I search on "Para Expert" (i.e. their .45acp full size 1911), It comes up "no results." I had to shorten it to "Para" and then I got a ton of results I had to wade through, not ever finding my own item. I re-tried "Para USA (Para Ordinance)" but, still, never found the "Expert" just a bunch of SKUs. I'd suggest you program some familiar search "key words" into each item entry, as it will enhance the value of the tool. Making the user "guess" and "refine" the terms to get the right answers takes more time and effort and, therefore, lessens the value of the site.

Auuugggghhh. This isn't good.

August, 1992, it became NCIS, and it changed to "all civilian" management, in an effort to model itself after other peer federal civilian agencies (FBI, etc.).

Thank goodness for that. And a rare credit to nj.com for letting the "father" have a full say without injecting any "anti-gun" spin on it....

For those of you who have served in the military, a quick question. Is there any way for the military to call you back into "active duty" once you have completed all your obligations and been "discharged" (i.e. received a DD-214)? I don't mean if you are still in the "reserves" at all. I mean totally finished and discharged. I'm watching an old NCIS episode, where Sp. agent Todd attempted to trick a former Navy person (done for 8 years) into cooperating with an investigation by claiming she could have the former navy person "recalled to active duty as a material witness." Is that even possible????

I don't know if the charges are true or not, but if they are false (i.e. if he's being framed by an ex), then he has a Helluva lawsuit against the Discovery Channel. Certainly they wouldn't publish the identity of the child (they shouldn't anyway), but for someone as public a figure as Mr. Hayden, wouldn't it be fairly easy to determine if he had access to any 12 y/o kids? BTW, that article could have been proof-read a bit (i.e. "Discover Chanel????" Released 1 day in the "future????")...

You know the answer to that.... the MSM doesn't want the sheeples to know that children can be saved by firearms.... "Guns are bad... M'Kaaaayyy?"

The course and materials teach you everything you need to pass the license exam. Now, if you really want to hunt, then you could tag along with some others. What precisely do you wish to hunt and where?

Welcome from Warren County, NJ!

My heart almost stopped when I saw the stills from the video, and reading that the 9yo was from New Jersey. The child depicted in the video looked an awful lot like another well known 9yo shooter from NJ. So far, no indications that it's the one with whom I'm familiar. Condolences to the family of the instructor, and, of course, to the young lady. I'm totally grateful that I know my niece and nephew can handle my weapons. I made sure of it before I let them do so. Tragedy, all around...

Yes, I saw several do this when I went for my exam. It also exempts you from having to turn in a completed workbook as a prerequisite to the course.

I'm in. With License.

Understood. But I thought the OP said the person in question never got Fl residency.

I wouldn't think it should matter if he's a FL resident or not. i He's got a FL CCW (I assume Non-resident, as is mine). So he is covered in FL and the others states that honor a FL non-resident CCW. While he's on the road, as long as he transports under FOPA rules, he should be OK. It all depends on where he needs to stop along the way. Like I say, I'd be concerned about traveling/stopping in MD, and I would definitely circumvent DC (i.e. just go right around the Beltway, or down the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula and across the Bay/ Bridge/Tunnel). But, otherwise, I would take my inventory with me. Like you say... his choice, though...

Bravo Zulu Igor! Now, go vote and pay taxes!!! :D

I would think this would be more of a challenge to OGAM than anything else... I'm not sure it would help with the whole P2P/FPID process...

How does he travel? Air? Train? Or by his own car? If by car, does he have to stop (or pass through) DC? MD? Those could be questionable. Even SC doesn't honor a FL CCW, according to Usacarry.com. But, otherwise, as long as he is passing through, does he not feel sufficiently protected by FOPA?

The organizer should have (or ensure that someone attending has) a hunting license, and/or a mechanical thrower of some kind (electric or otherwise). Then it comes down to a date on which all can agree. I have the license, but no thrower.

I can vouch for the weapon itself. My most recent acquisiton (although in Black, not STS).... I truly like it. Even my niece likes it. Furthermore, very easy to obtain Chip McCormick 10rnd mags for it that fit well.

Do you see the advancement of "dash/body cams & mikes" as affecting your "discretionary" abilities? I realize that they are a "double edged" sword. They can protect, but also hinder... Just curious...
