      Visit by Homeland Security yesterday for... a scope purchase?

      Depends on where you got the food for dinner. Was it USDA inspected? Did it come from a subsidized farmer? Was it properly labeled? Did you grow your own and pay the property tax on the land you used to grow it? Did you hunt your own and have the proper licenses and stamps? Cannabalism is...

      Visit by Homeland Security yesterday for... a scope purchase?

      With all due respect and no offense to the refrigerator, that’s a nice high school history lesson and great political theory. However, that is simply not how the world works. This naïveté may explain why we see a case such as Heller, only every 15-20 years or so. Many 2A supppoters are...

      Well I be damn. Here I am, thinking it was the state preventing wear and carry in Maryland. Turns out, it was providence all along.

      Visit by Homeland Security yesterday for... a scope purchase?

      I have hope. Love my family, my home and my work. Ask anyone I work with and they’ll tell you that I’m one of the happiest guys around. My family and I are close and enjoy life to the fullest. However, we’ve sugar coated it long enough. I will not lie nor make excuses for the current state of...

      Visit by Homeland Security yesterday for... a scope purchase?

      Or the third option: After many years on this planet, I’ve come to realize the reality we all live in. 1. You are only as free as the state will allow you to be. 2. Many espouse the virtues of freedom and liberty, so long as it is they who get to decide to whom, and to what measure...

      Police stop and you are legally transporting a non-serial number firearm?

      Yep, we’re on the same page. However, for sake of discussion and dialog, I would caution the following: One study cites that for the average adult, reading 250-300 words per minute, reading full time, it would take them nearly 3 years to read the 2012 edition of the Code of Federal...

      Police stop and you are legally transporting a non-serial number firearm?

      Ignorance of the law is rarely the real issue. The officer may be very well versed in the nuance of all the laws reguarding serial numbers on firearms. However, knowing that he has no expectation of knowing the law, can claim a reasonable expectation that a law should/would exist that *all*...

      Police stop and you are legally transporting a non-serial number firearm?

      The OP doesn’t get get to decide if he’s “not doing anything wrong”. Some one else makes that decision for him. And while “ignorance of the law is no excuse” applies to you and me, it does not apply to the police officer. A police officer only has to “reasonably believe a law exist”-Heien v...

      I Have an Idea; This is how we Fight back

      They are starting to feel the dent. Progressives don’t buy hunting licenses. And apparently, they aren’t doing their “fair share” to help pay for conservation. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/20/593001800/decline-in-hunters-threatens-how-u-s-pays-for-conservation

      Think different. Sign up at moveon.org. They’ll keep you updated via email on the latest campaign. You’ll hear about it a few days before the MSM gets their talking points. Every so often they’ll have a free bumper sticker campaign. Sign up for the free sticker. Some volunteer will put it...

      HS students suspended for range time outside of school hrs.

      Time for diffrent tactics Then hold them accountable. And stop doing the same things over and over again expecting different results. Instead of treating this like a 2A case, the parents and the children should quietly and amicably accept the suspension. After all, they violated school...

      Visit by Homeland Security yesterday for... a scope purchase?

      That's kind of the point and the mark of a good interviewer. You're in control of the discussion. You're talking about mundane day-to-day stuff. You even mention the weather once or twice. Pretty soon you're complaining about Maryland laws, handgun rosters, magazine pinning, wait times and out...

      Sounds like you've made the list. Here's the ruse; the “pretext” for the visit: Here's where the real interview started, and it sounds like they were successful in getting you to talk: Rounding out the interview and just to show "that they are people just like you" and are your friend...
