Sorry to hear this... you came to the right place.

Makes me want to drive up to WB and stand on the corner E. Northampton and Sherman streets with my sig strapped to my side.

It's only a 3 hour drive from New Freedom....

No, we have no relation to the NRA.

That's why I was wondering about partnering in some capacity, such as advertising, promotion, public awareness, etc. Or perhaps sponsoring or cosponsoring an event. Given recent events, the purpose is educating the community and, perhaps, bringing more into your community. Maybe it's something the local NRA chapter might be interested in. I dunno...just thinking out loud.

"Police need a policy"

How about a policy of knowing and following the law? Or the Constitution, for that matter?

And I suppose you have proof of that conspiratory allegation?

This is hard to listen to. Too many commercials as well.

I had to turn it off. The ignorance, demagoguery, fear, and fallacies, were just too much.

We know we aren't a group of paranoid conspiracy theorists, but the on the fence person looking for more information is going to read such comments and assume we are.

The powers that be do more than enough to try to discredit us, we need to police ourselves so that we don't help them.

Great post!

Rep sent.

Cops stealing private property is a violation of the law. WE don't have to establish ownership of shit. THEY have to prove a crime was committed. And they know it full well.

Third, more specifically, in the case of a purchase from a Firearms store, they would maintain a record of your ownership, remember the papers you filled out at the store?

Where do you suppose I could get proof of ownership for the Sears Model 1 that I inherited from my father, and that has now been passed on to my son? Wonder if Sears still has those records?
