I have the best contest prize ever. As a matter of fact, I probably have 6 of them. I might do a contest just for the hell of it, with these mystery items as the prizes.

I can guarantee that even the ever awesome Moose, Biscuit, and Bladite don't carry them. I'm even willing to bet all my knives and my BH# that even Uncle E doesn't have a physical one.

Who can guess what the items I speak of are?

I'll speak with them about this contest idea after I distribute some of them to my local friends, so I'll go from my current inventory to my projected inventory of 6, maybe down to 5.


And no, I am not talking about restraining orders.

If I guess correctly what they are I get your FPR 16...Ok? :D

Went to this bar with my buddy on Friday night:

http://www.spike.com/full-episodes/yawxdt/bar-rescue-bikini-bust-season-2-ep-210

He snuck in a kiss with one of the bartenders. I told him to keep his drinks the hell away from mine for the rest of the night so I wouldn't catch anything. Nice scenery though. Feels lame staying at those bars for longer than a drink though so we moved along to bar with fully clothed tenders after a pitcher.

Why would he kiss one of those hags?

Last night I was bartending at the restaurant. It was going all well and good till the chef brought out his bottle of jack.... I was SCREWED from that point on.

The reason for going through ROTC as opposed to just enlisting is my fat ass needs the prep.

The reason for going to college is so I might learn something (socially, I could care less about taking another math class), and so that I have some sort of structured schedule, in addition to whatever job I hold while I'm there.

The ultimate reason for me looking at carry rules/laws at different colleges/states is I like my 2a rights, and I would rather be carrying and not need it, than need it and not carrying. OTOH, I don't picture myself getting into a gun fight in the middle of a class room. As far as theft, as much of a concern as that is, the fact that I have a gun already known of should be a deterrent in and of itself. Yes I know they happen, but if I were to wear my gun as much as I wear my knife now, stealing it would require someone shoving their hand in my pants while I'm asleep, or taking it in the 5 minutes I'm in the shower.

Your lack of experience and your age sometimes is, well, charming; and at other times just downright annoying.

Second Amendment rights not withstanding, "playing" with knives and guns while at school is at best juvenile and at worse will land you a felony. A felony will cause you to lose whatever CCW permit rights you have FOR LIFE. Not to mention the Marines or any other branch thumbing their noses at an application to join, not to mention getting a decent job for the rest of your life that doesn't involve toilet cleaner or asking "do you want fries with that?"
Just carrying your handgun across state lines to get to college might run you afoul of the law. Try it in Massachusetts and you will get mandatory jail time for first offense, no questions asked.

There is a time and place for everything. College is the time and place to learn, not be a cowboy.

This from one who has had a carry permit since before your PARENTS were born...

I agree. Even having a ccw doesnt mean your safe to defend yourself without repercussions. ccw or not IF YOU USE YOUR FIREARM AWAY FROM YOUR HOME REGARDLESS IF ITS SELF DEFENSE OR NOT YOU WILL GO TO JAIL. how long you stay and the final charge depends on the situation. Years ago I had to actually shoot my gun in a public situation in self defense, i was arrested and found not guilty and released but they kept my carry permit and told me id need to re-apply. then a year later i was robbed at knife point by several guys and i used my firearm to control the situation, i didnt have a ccw permit since they took it. i was wrong for carrying, i understood this, but if im picking being judged by 12 or carried by 6, im picking the judge every time! I was arrested charged with assualt and given a felony for the handgun. they were arrested too, they got simple assault, a misdemeanor and released. I protected myself, And i made it home to my children finally, but i lost the right to ever own a gun.

Only the criminals are allowed to protect themselves- But back on topic, i dont believe guns should be in a school enviroment at all. but if we dont allow the good guys to carry, the bad guys will have nothing to fear-

And the military.... Does take a person with a felony, normally only 1 depending on the charge and you will need a waiver but dont expect a good clearance level or decent "job". Im thankful i had no record when i enlisted and was given secret clearances. I was ordnance and air defense artillery in the army. my good buddy had a felony and joined up the same time as me, he became a truck driver, went straight to the war, just saying.

I would say you were 'illegal for carrying' which is a legal judgement, not 'wrong' which is a moral judgement.
This sucks, certainly as you describe it.
 
Legal permit-holding citizens who defend themselves in accordance with the law won't see any time in jail. We've had 2 defensive shootings in WI in the past year by permit holders, and both were under the jurisdiction of a very liberal DA. He didn't even consider charging either of them, because they acted withing their rights as spelled out in the state laws. Still, it's a dumb thing to argue about before you're 21, because it's going to be a non-issue until you are old enough to legally own a handgun and get a CCW permit.
 
It did suck!!!

And I was told my first incident i acted completly within the laws and was told regardless if you fire a gun ( in philadelphia) you will be arrested and proccessed at the jail. i didnt even stay overnight, but they did take me down and process me in, run my fingerprints check the gun and made me wait in a cell until everything cleared. once it cleared they released me with no time served, But i was arrested at the scene. i was told regardless the shooter would always be arrested even if just for questioning. Alot of factors play a roll, but im sure in some places they might not arrest the person if they have alot of witnesses or something.



Oh and the 1st incident the gun was never returned to me, they told me i could get it back with a letter to the judge, i wrote 7 letters, then i got a reply saying it was destroyed. i dont believe that for a second-

That may have been "then"...

Just last week a friend told me that "the military" (all branches) are facing deep cuts in personnel. Recruiters now are being told to not accept GEDs, that without a full high school diploma they will not even consider an application, which is a big change. It's going to get harder and harder to wear the uniform.
 
Ok, point taken. I still don't like the thought of being on the receiving end without a way to defend myself (really no desire to tackle someone who has me at gun point). Not that I wish to be on the other end at all. And I found that there are a few states that allow you to own (not purchase) handguns at 18, VA being one of them.

As far as carrying at goes, do you think things like the VT shootings could have gone different if there were one or two responsible people legally carrying at the time? I understand not carrying at a highschool (well, no student or faculty carrying, but maybe a properly trained guard, not sitting at a metal detector), but most people who go to college are considered adults by the law, and most of those are more than eligible to carry. Even if it requires written permission from the head(s) of the school who want a couple letters of recommendation before they approve it, that would be better than none at all, and have the added benefit of keeping idiots who get drunk all the time from having one.

Ah well, my point was defeated, and rightfully so.
 
Yea it could very well of changed i havent spoke to them in over 8 years so im not sure how they are doing it now.

And all change isnt bad, im no genius but there was alot of "soldiers" just completely lacking any mental functions. we need soldiers, we need marines but we need them to be able to think, not just to be able to die.

My first seargant use to say, "we dont need a man that can lift 400lbs, run a marathon, or solve quantum physics. We need men who can run a mile, carry their weight, and still know its smarter to go over a fence than through it"
