Derailing? Have you read 99.99% of the threads here, admin? These guys and a gal or two are proud, and have all but stated so when brought to them, of derailing threads. They, however, call it "hijacking" and think it's funny, actually. Heck, it's expected as this is a social place they said.

Politic's govern the taxes we pay, the freedom of our people or diminishing level of such depending on your view. Politics determine who writes the laws that affect our life from birth, to trucking to death. Politics determines our world stance in any area, and is the very "thing" that caused thousands to tell an oppressive king to pack sand thereby forming a free nation, of which the average American has no idea about for a variety of well planned reasons... -End digression-

And you are worried about something that happens here alread in nearly every thread. Really?

Well, anyway, I'll put together a list of the dozens and dozens and dozens of thread hijackings, or "derailing" as you put it, and report them. I'll do it this weekend because documenting them will take some time!

I grabbed my logs, bills and permits and went into the building with my .38 on my hip (concealed of course). The Officer and I exchanged our pleasantries and he told me what he wanted to see. I placed my stuff on the counter and keeping my hands on the counter in full view, as instructed by my CCW training officer, informed the inspecting officer "I am armed, and I am licensed to be armed."
He replied, "That's fine as long as you don't shoot me!" With a chuckle I answered that I wasn't PLANNING on shooting ANYONE.
After 15 minutes I left with a good report and was on my way back to the yard.

What do you do (or would you do) if it was a state that didn't recognize your permit? Fabulous Illinois, for example. Just curious.

Which begs the question, what good is a firearm in that condition?
