    I hear you.

    Maryland is my home and in our history is a Free State, they were actually conferred the title "Old Line" by Geo. Washington for feats of arms in battle near what is now NYC.

    The Dem government systematically has managed to strip that state of any meaningful weapons usage for the last 55 or so years at all levels of the Government from state to township. I refuse to expound any further into politics. But I hope and pray that one day it will be a free state again. But doubt it.

    I remember some of the problems getting a BB gun long ago. We can actually cross the street and buy those wrist rockets with the surgical tubing on them and ball bearings to fire with. I think they are about 30 dollars.

    As nice as it is here in Arkansas, there are other states that do way better than that in terms of a free state.

    I try not to explode when dealing with the Media.

    Here in Little Rock they bend over backwards not to state the race of the monkeys that actually committed the crime when writing up a robbery or shooting that happens several times a week, or sometimes per day here in the Rock.

    Motorists HA.

    I wonder what they will call the entire nation when no one is driving anymore and all of us are being ... driven about in robot cars and trucks.

    Robotists?

    He'll if Mr johnston wanted to target some problem truck drivers he didn't have to go all the way to Iowa .....just a quick trip to any Chicago suburb would have worked ...

    If I wanted to target truckers Ontario CA would be a very fabulous target range. Or the biggest of them all, Wolcott IA. Jessup would be another. Espeically Jessup... bang bang guns shots big deal until they slip on those tile flooring int he blood.

    Absolutely - If he gets fired, I can name a few places that will hire him on ASAP... Probably even give him whatever seniority he built up over there too, so its not like he is starting over.

    You all might be giving Swift a little too much credit. His story was that he used the truck to block the shooter. The truth is probably that he was just trying to get out of the rest area and sideswiped a car. :p
