sigh...yes, there is more than one definition. Usually, when one uses a word, it's going to be the modern definition.

Fortunately, your view is incorrect.

Great. We could use less playing.

(sic) Well, I happen to know quite a bit about it, and I'm absolutely right. You forgot the "written in crayon" part.

For the most part, I'd agree, unless your candidate is a crazy cultist in magic underwear. He's only one-step more respectable than a castrated Heaven's Gate cultist or a Moonie. You can't elect a cultist. Romney is like Mormonism itself: a very thin veneer of respectability, but some crazy...

You had your chance for change. It's gone now, like freedom. A vote for anyone other than Room Paul was a vote for the establishment. "Of course, Romney has been picked by the same special interests that selected Obama, one surmises. Nonetheless, Obama is the Chosen One. Romney is merely the...

Yeah, because getting stabbed in the back is so much better than seeing it coming. There's no right choice when your only options are a commie or a Mormon.

I'm not really talking about that. I'm talking about if you Jane a propeller or something and call the cops. Meanwhile, you fill your hand with a gun to protect your family. The cop gets there and sees your gun. "I'll take that for now," he says. "You can have it back when I leave." He holds...

Unfortunately, no. Cops in some jurisdictions routinely seize any firearm at a scene and only return it when they're leaving. Urns complete BS, but they get away with it. I don't know how.

Yes, they can ask. But that doesn't mean you have to answer. The right to remain silent applies in every instance in which you may face some sort of penalty.

"Your honor, I an invoking my constitutionally protected right to remain silent." It's also known as "standing mute." It is your right, and the only way around it is to grant you immunity so that there is no risk of self-incrimination. The SC has ruled that this right applies any time when any...

It will if he's one who believes he's the only one with the right to be armed. It will if he uses it as an excuse to restrain me without cause or if he believes he has the right to even temporarily take it from me. And being compelled to answer violates my right to remain silent.

Then you're not trying very hard.

The problem with that is that it leaves the citizen wondering which case it's going to be in any given instance, and many times, the STATE would decide which it's going to be based on where their interests lie at the moment, leaving the citizen in the lurch. No, it has to be static.

Ok, let's look at the law, then. I found a couple reputable resources that state exactly what I've said--that when you're not free to leave when you want, you've been arrested. But I thought I'd go straight to the horse's mouth and contact Mr. Grigg directly and get his source. He replied thus...

This is not nearly the same. You have an obligation to pay taxes. There is no such obligation in Idaho to inform a cop you have a gun. Those who see gun rights contract are hesitant to tell the gummint they have a gun.

And he said, "What'd ya get?" And I said, "I didn't get nothing'. I had to pay fifty dollars and pick up the garbage." "What were you arrested for, kid?" And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, gave me the hairy eyeball and all sorts of mean, nasty, ugly...

Yes, reasonable to call for backup, not arrest him. It was clear from the deputy's statements that his unusual responses weren't the problem, but that he felt--in conflict with the law--that the biker had an obligation to inform him he was armed, when he didn't. The biker's right to be armed is...

I bet the gummint wins. There have been a plethora of things that are unconstitutional, and the gummint's only leg on which to stand is, "Well, that's the way we want it," or "We think it needs to be that way." They rarely lose with that strategy. Remember Kelo vs. New London? The local...

Imaginary for a couple reasons. No action had been taken to give cause for him to suspect he was in danger. He stated something to the effect of, "I don't like people being armed." Don't remember the exact words. That's typical of modern cops; they think they're the only ones in their...
