    LSU v. Miss St

    Wow, never saw anybody get upset so much after a win and a 4-0 start, but I can understand it. State really has a habit of sucking at football, at least LSU got the win. I'm hoping LSU can handle FL at home, then Nov 21 is the game to watch, at Oxford (no sweat with Ga and Bama, right?). The...

    More pet peeves...

    Being 4-0 would be really cool if they were all SEC opponents, but I wouldn't brag too much about beating Florida International or North Texas. Bama's fate will probably be decided in October. If they are undefeated in Oct and beat LSU on Nov 7, they have a good shot at being the national...

    Fleeing shoplifter?

    Yes, lots of interesting but conflicting laws. Thanks for your input. I beleive that Texas law was orginally written to protect the average, law abiding person. It has been modified so much that the crooks have the advantage now.

    Woman, child injured as weapon fires at Mesa gun show

    Why?? I've seen nothing that says this incident was caused by a woman or child, they just happened to be the victims. I've never taken my wife or child to a gun show, but that's our personal preference. I've never seen a woman or child do anything at a gun show that should cause them to be shot...

    Dodged a bullet last night

    Cajun Lawyer, Since you're close to the situation, do us all a big favor. Run over and put a few more shots in him, just to make sure. OK??

    Dead or ALIVE

    A lot of good men already listed, so I'll go with: Annie Oakley. I'm surprised nobody has wanted to "chat" with Bill Ruger, Sr.

    Woman, child injured as weapon fires at Mesa gun show

    The writer of the news article must have been in a hurry to file the story. The gun was placed under a table (loaded) and somebody later pulled the trigger. So, was somebody crawling under the table and pulling triggers, or what? It doesn't say if the gun was removed from under the table to show...

    Caution-2nd Humor Attempt !

    No, it's not working for me. I didn't catch your first attempt at humor, but after reading this one, I'm tending to side with the moderators (nice people, I think). Stress management? I shoot things. Your handle fits well. :rolleyes:

    More pet peeves...

    Folks probably figure you've had enough bashing from the Florida Gator coach and fans. No need to rub it in here... :D

    More pet peeves...

    Is that what causes restrictive guns laws, or the effect of having them? Disclaimer: This is in no way meant as a dig at NY.

    Fleeing shoplifter?

    If it's the property of a privately owned business, I agree. If it is my personal property, I won't rule any option out.

    Gun Show Tips!

    Good advice, but those people are always selling something I just gotta have.. :confused: That saved me over $200 on a new .223 earlier this year. It was $150 less than MSRP and no tax or paperwork, just ID and cash. The seller was an elderly gent who had bought a lot of stuff before the last...

    Do people run red light in your town??

    The biggest problem in my area is that people don't seem to understand what it means when the light turns yellow/orange. They think it means to speed up before it goes red, instead of slowing as the law requires. I always slow for the yellow/orange because I can't trust the drivers coming in...
