Well, it's kind of moot in this state since you have to have a permit to have a pistol, so you're definitely covered to get to your house. But, yes, that is the stupidity of this law. From what I have read, it is generally only enforced as an add-on, as in, shoot someone within 1000 feet, get...

You left out the important part: The vast, vast majority of guns have been moved via interstate commerce.

Well, one of the few exemptions to Gun Free School Zone legislation is to have a permit from the state the school is in. It's really, really, really difficult - basically impossible unless you're deep in the sticks - to go anywhere that doesn't cross within 1000 feet of a school. Hell, I am...

On my initial application (2011), references were never called (not sure if he was the sheriff then). On my first renewal (2016), his deputies refused to allow me in the door since I was a non-resident. I worked my way in, explained to him how he was violating the law by refusing to accept my...

References for PA LTCF are now optional. I was kind of disappointed that I am no longer near Susquehanna County, as I was sure the sheriff would still be trying to require them and I'd have to argue with him a third time to get him to follow the damn law. (The sheriff retired, though, so maybe...

Jesus, that was a lot of duplicate posts.

Read how it's written, though. You'll end up getting ticketed for leaving your porch light on so you don't have to fumble in the dark when you get home from work. As the YouTube series says: "Sounds like a great idea! With the best of intentions! What could possibly go wrong?" Just like gun...

As usual with most anything Democrats propose (and as I said in the other thread), I support the idea being advertised but oppose the method of implementation. What they really should be taking aim at is streetlights, businesses, and public buildings. Lights outside houses don't even approach...

Oh, I can answer this one. Prices go up, benefits go down. I know because the thread title said Hochul.

This is a dumb waste of everyone's time and money. "86" has long been used in common parlance to say "get rid of" or "toss out." When I was in grad school 20 years ago, I'd go to lunch at a local bar that served potato chips instead of fries. I'd always tell them to hold the chips, which they...

Agreed that a non-cop could get out of this situation without charges, though I think a cop is more likely to. Also, I can't help but notice a few things that potentially indicate preferential treatment: 1. He wasn't arrested 2. His guns were not taken 3. His name has not been released That...

One hundred percent, she should have kept control of her dogs. But, watch the footage, and in particular the body language of the GSDs. Those dogs were not attacking. Charging, barking, yes... but not attacking. I'll give you that we can't expect everyone to be able to read dogs as easily as I...

Or, remember how Bill Clinton ran for office and one of his policy goals was to increase taxes on the rich, which he defined as households making $250k or more... then, when his wife ran 24 years later, one of her policy goals was to increase taxes on the rich, which she defined as households...

Back when I was living in Binghamton, about once a week I'd be driving to work and it would smell like there was a dead animal under my hood. Sure enough, ten miles down the road, I'd catch up to a semi hauling trash from NYC/NJ, presumably heading to that landfill. And the smell would finally...

"A right not exercised is a right lost" I understand your point that folks that do this kind of thing are putting themselves in harm's way regardless of the fact that they are exercising their Constitutional rights. That said, the fact that these rights were paid for in blood certainly suggests...
