If you own a gun, you have a moral and ethical responsibility to use and store it correctly, etc, but no such responsibility that affects your right.

Nope. When you attach a responsibility to a right, it ceases being a right.

Problem with that is that it won't allow you to install a pull-cord in the cab that retracts the plate on demand. That's a handy feature to have.

Ok, I don't know how to nest quotes like you do, so I don't know how clear this is going to be, but we'll give it a shot. Me: That differs from your previous position. In that you plainly stated more than once that cops seeing a cargo van have reasonable suspicion to believe that the driver...

I don't know if this particular board is the right place for this thread. Feel free to move it. I was passing through North Dakota, went into a truckstop for some coffee, and noticed immediately that except for the employees, I might well have been the only person there not wearing blaze...

Well, the last time I tried to write this reply, I was dispatched and couldn't finish it. Maybe I'll have the same luck this time, though being Sunday night in Fargo, probably not. No, actually, I grasped that quite early on. But I didn't know how the Michigan law affected in-staters, but I...

One way to improve your existence going this route is to have a remote auto-start. That way, you wake up and hit the button and let the van warm up while you hit the snooze alarm a couple times. That's another so-so fix for winter idling. Run the engine to warm up the van, go to sleep. If...

Hmmm...wonder why that is. Maybe more people getting pulled over.

P.J. O'Rourke said it best: "If you think health care is expensive now, wait 'til you see what it costs when it's free."

Expediter companies with which you'll average 2000-3000 miles a week: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Not that it's much of an improvement. The republicans are only about 4% better than the Demon-crats. It'll just take us a little longer to reach the cliff.

I don't think anyone knows what agency is doing this. I'll probably be talking with that owner again in a few days, so I can ask him more about that.

With Michigan plates, it probably would be reasonable and logical, because he's operating under another law that says that all such Michigan-plated CVs must have door signs regardless of whether they're for commercial use or not. But for out-of-state vans, they not only have to be carrying...

The reason that sounds crazy is that you're talking about licensure. A license, by definition, is official permission to do what is otherwise illegal. My premise, that it's a right, either a birthright or qualified, would negate the existence of a license. That's the way it used to be in this...

How much time do you have to sort through all those issues? It would take a lot of time. I don't have a problem with saying that there are issues that exist now that the founding fathers couldn't POSSIBLY have foreseen or allowed for, like your example of flying a plane, or a standing army...

In all fairness, I didn't include information among those references that differentiated personal driving from commercial driving. Some of those references did make a difference, calling commercial driving regulable.

One? Sorry, can't do that. I can, however, find you several (and btw, these first ones come from an affidavit from a case in Michigan, a case that was won by the one asserting that driving is a right): Kent v. Dulles, 357 U.S. 116, 125 Ligare v. Chicago, 28 N.E. 934; See: Boone v. Clark...

A state SAYING it's a privilege doesn't make it a privilege. Are there other privileges? What else would be a privilege similar to the so-called privilege of driving? Look, I realize you've been told all your life that driving is a privilege, and you've bought into it without thinking about...

Sure enough.

Fortunately, the founding fathers didn't give a whit about assumptions and demanded probable cause, from which the edges have been worn off by courts to produce reasonable suspicion, but reasonable suspicion that must still be articulable and particularized. And when a cop reasons that, because...
