Doug, while I enjoy reading your posts could you limit yourself moving forward to only one username to do so? Some folks might get confused and think there are two very nice folks saying the same things with slightly different usernames. Also I think that is a violation of forum rules and I certainly don't want to see you get jammed up.  

I don't know exactly what happened, but my computer went down two seeks ago.  When it came back up, it started accessing both accounts instead of one.  Maybe the mods could help with this and combine Doug1o29 with Doug1029 under the Doug1029 name?

Thanks,

Supporters raise $40K to help man who deflated ‘Baby Trump’ balloon

Supporters of a man who knifed and deflated a diaper-clad “Baby Trump” balloon so the president would not see it during his visit to watch a University of Alabama football game have raised almost $40,000 to pay his legal fees. A GoFundMe page created Saturday asks for donations to help Hoyt Deau Hutchinson, 32, “pay legal fees and restitutions” for the balloon had raised $39,641 as of Monday afternoon. The goal for fundraiser was initially set at $6,000.

Alabama Heisman winner blames Tide's loss vs. LSU on presence of President Trump

After a dominant showing by the LSU offense on Saturday, Alabama’s perfect record, 31-game home win streak and College Football Playoff hopes have taken a significant hit. One of the program’s great players has an interesting theory on what caused the costly loss. Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2009 with the Crimson Tide, tweeted that he was blaming President Donald Trump for the loss, saying his appearance created something called “bad swacky” for the Tide.

We might start by reading the Constitution,  That is the original source and we can avoid spins and misquotes.

So do I take it that you did not watch the clip?

I last read the Constitution clear through when I was in junior high:  about 55 years ago.

Good for you.  That long ago?  I see.  I've read it several times over the past couple of years.  Including many of the Federalist Papers and other documents.  Mind you, the Federalist Papers are not all that easy a read.

 So maybe it's time to refresh my memory.  

You think?

But I'll bet that most of the people sounding off about the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including our Congressmen and Senators of both parties, have never read it, even part of it.

And I'll take it further and say that you'll find that the Left are the ones that go through the act of reading it and try to interpret it through the lense of Socialism.

A few of us try to read the Founding Documents from the viewpoint of the Founder's original intent.  The Left doesn't like the original intent.

I hadn't heard of this.  WELL DONE!  I'll have to check to see if he has a go fund me yet    With a first name like Deau, I'm thinking he's an LSU fan but he's still a man after my own heart!  BTW, it WAS a hell of a game and LSU definitely outplayed the Tide for the first half.  No excuses, congrats to the Tigers.

What is your hangup with socialism?  It's an economic system and compatible with democracy.  In fact, free market socialism has been tried and is probably better than any other kind.  We need free markets to ensure even competition.  But as it is, big companies control markets, preventing the free market from operating.  Government needs to regulate markets or they won't be free long.

Well.  It only took 11 days.  Oklahoma's Open Carry law went into effect on November 1.  Yesterday (Nov. 11) a "law-abiding citizen" took a gun into Walmart (Where the company prohibits open carry.  While there he "accidently" discharged it into a display rack.  There were six people there, counting clerks.  So he was charged with six counts of assault, one of criminal trespass and one of using a firearm in the commission of a felony.

He didn't seem to understand that "open carry" has limits.  If you accidently discharge your weapon, you are assaulting anybody in the immediate vicinity.  If you discharge a weapon where it is not allowed, you are committing criminal trespass.  Besides that, Walmart can sue him for damages.

How do we keep "law-abiding citizens" from killing the rest of us, whether it's an accident or on purpose?

Not by making guns illegal.  Maybe by training and better mental health.  Someone that stupid either doesn't know how to read or is a sociopath.  Maybe he wasn't really a "law abiding" citizen but rather someone who wanted to see what he could get away with.  If his gun accidentally discharged that means he had no real training on handling that weapon.  Open carry has to include responsibility and training.  New Mexico changed their laws recently but you still have to have a permit for open carry and in order to get that permit you have to have certified training.

But open carry doesn't require a person to know anything about guns and gun safety.  Anybody can do it with no training, no permits, no anything.  You don't need to register the firearm.  You just get ahold of one and start walking around with it.

I know a guy who has a concealed weapon permit.  He carries a gun nearly all the time and nobody ever knows it but him.  But the open carry people are out there trying to intimidate people and generally trying to make up for shortfalls in other areas.  And as was just proven, they can be dangerous.

It is dependent on state laws.  Concealed carry has a lot stricter rules as I think it should, but some states don't allow you to carry a gun without a permit.  In the olden days there was no concealed carry in New Mexico.  Even law enforcement had to have their weapons visible.  And back then there were no permits, just anyone who wanted to carry a gun had to have it visible (wild, wild west).  I think Texas used to be that way too, I know a coworker had one on her dash board and it kept 3 truckers from bothering her on a deserted section of highway in the 80's.  (I can't imagine what they had in mind, just to frighten her or actually cause her harm).  There are valid reasons for people to carry weapons, but we need to make sure they are trained to handle them properly to keep accidents from happening.  (like kids finding it and shooting their friend or that dumbass discharging his weapon in Walmart).

Oklahoma has no restrictions.  They call it "freedom."  Freedom to intimidate anybody you want to.  What about my right not to live in fear of these maniacs?

I agree.  That guy in Walmart was just a "dumbass."  But he is still dangerous, just the same.

Yes, there has to be freedom from fear as well as freedom to carry a weapon.  Maybe you would feel better in they UK, I think even pepper spray is illegal in the UK (not sure but it came up in one of the cop shows I watch).  We don't have balance in this country right now and based on things the members of this board complain about I suspect there in no balance in the UK either and look at all the laws they have restricting access to guns and other weapons.  It does not seem to alleviate the fear or the violence.

My team lost because no matter how talented they are, they haven't played a team the caliber they faced on Saturday.  That's just the truth.  Too many defensive mistakes...period.  Our offense was good enough to win but the D wasn't able to stop them.  I have no doubt that Saban will fix that problem and I'd hate to playing against them next week    But this year they are not championship quality.

I'd answer that this is a choice and not an issue being forced on average citizens.  I live in an area where any given individual you meet, male or female, COULD be armed.  None of us walk around in fear of our neighbors or even strangers.  It just isn't a problem.  I assume that happens in major cities where the density of potential crazies is much higher and that's sad but a citizen's right to be armed is not dependent on the fears of others so long as that citizen abides by the law laid down in our Constitution and local laws based on it.  Those that overreach will soon be ignored on a large scale all over America.  Sanctuaries... don't ya know.

So the article I read said the gun had been dropped earlier in the day and it was holstered at the time it went off. Purely an accident, not accidental handling. It also said that he was long gone by the time to the police got there, the store called them 2 hours after the incident and they don't even know the name of the suspect. How did they put all those charges you claim on him when they don't even know who it was?

What has happened and my predictions:

1st Year: Lets have a riot and get rid of him because he is like Hitler.

2nd Year: This guy is incompetent.

3rd Year: This guy is a moron.

4th Year: Well I dont agree with him but he did everything he said he would do and hasn't blown up the world. Look at the economy, look at all the jobs he has created, this guy (and I dont want to admit it to myself) is actually decent.

Then re-election!!!! lol.

Brandishing is illegal.  Their right to carry isn't contingent on your fears.  Suck it up.  This is the statute that defines when a citizen oversteps and threatens illegally.  Read it, it might be your friend.
