      NRA ILA Email WRT House Bill 159

      :lol2:Agreed. The whole thing was imported and then customized to MD. Maryland was a special target for them because the Regulated Gun List + the Form 77s held by the state police were just too good to pass up. CT legislation closely mirrored FSA, and so did good parts of NY SAFE Act. MD...

      Pack of fox got my chickens?

      I had a male Muscovy Drake (duck) fight off a young fox. The duck was a little worse for the wear, but the fox had this look of shock when it jumped back and realized it was getting its ass handed to it by a bird. Unlike every other duck species, Muscovy have webbed claws. Was watching the fight...

      Pack of fox got my chickens?

      Same here a few days ago. They were romping around and play fighting for almost an hour. My five year old said to me, "you could hit them from here with your bow pretty easy." I almost spewed my soda. :lol2:

      NRA ILA Email WRT House Bill 159

      The primary goal (back in 2013) was to institute laws at the state level that would criminalize possession of firearms. The "Ban List" was more than a list of guns to not sell. It was a list of evidence in your upcoming trial. Specifically, there was a provision in the original text for...

      Pack of fox got my chickens?

      This also applies to Raccoons, at least in my experience. I lost a lot of Muscovy and some geese one night. They didn't even finish the kill before moving to the next one - I had to put down 14 myself that they didn't finish off. It was like they just killed everything they could, just for fun...

      For me to try to talk down to you would require me calling you names, or implying you are stupid. Did no such thing. In fact, I put significant effort into treating you as an equal. So if you feel on the low-end of the conversation that is your own personal projection of your position. I cannot...

      What is it with you and sexualized imagery with my person and someone else's feet? That's twice you brought that little unwelcome image into things. Seriously, you're way into creepy territory there. Stop using me in your fantasies. I said that gun controllers feel they are doing the right...

      Rep. Hudson to introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

      It was during the final days of Obama - Officers O-5 and above were authorized to permit carry for personnel based on local conditions and need. As with anything DoD related, "it's complicated." Directive attached below. I see three groups: those subject to UCMJ (generally uniformed military...

      NRA ILA Email WRT House Bill 159

      I've obviously touched a rail here, and honestly should have known better than to suggest venting in a friendly place is a bad thing. Sorry for that. Trust me I know the feeling. I mistook that venting for a call for action. My mistake, obviously. My larger point is a simple one: when you...

      Have some more caffeine; you seem to be a little mild this morning. Your response is priceless and I look forward to more erudition from you.

      Rep. Hudson to introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

      I wish to subscribe to your optimism. Thanks for starting the morning right. My concern is that there are show bills and safe votes. Safe votes are votes that please the constituents but won't upset the establishment - because they cannot become law. We saw Harry Reid nod his assent to Dem...

      NRA ILA Email WRT House Bill 159

      If she's made it personal then count me corrected. My dealings with her in the past were not personally acrimonious (quite the opposite). But if she's morphed into something else, I'm glad to be informed.

      Jen's actually quite nice. Ideas and policy are fair, but Jen's not an evil offspring of satan looking to harm anyone. She believes she is doing good work, and we happen to disagree. As much as we disagree on approach, we both all doing "the right thing". All that said, body-slam the broken...

      Rep. Hudson to introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

      When it starts to get real, expect to see a few GOP squishes jump due to "States Rights" issues. Just remember - States have no rights. People have rights. States have "Powers" and the 10th Amendment does not allow a state to ignore the Bill of Rights or any other Amendment (thank the 14th for...

      Rep. Hudson to introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

      So there are multiple issues here, but the TL;DR version is, "The GOP could make this law if they wanted to make it law." Pro-2A bills can become law by attaching them as amendments to "must pass" bills. In the case of this Congress, you will see some serious infrastructure money trading hands...
