Keep in mind that right before this it the article also said,
That pretty well indicated that he believed this was a "good shoot." However, it is not the investigating officer who decides if charges should be filed. That's the job of the proscecutor. And in this case the million dollar...
As far as federal buildings go, Indiana law probably doesn't mention it in order to avoid any conflict with the federal law.
Sec. 930. Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
(a) Except as provided in subsection (d), whoever knowingly possesses or causes to be...
FWIW, a 17yo and an 18yo were arrested for these incidents this past Thursday.
It seems the 17yo couldn't resist bragging to some of his friends about his involvement.
Pretty much my feelings as well. I figure if I wait until someone's close enough to hear me racking the shotgun;
a) I just gave away my position to him and,
b) I've waited WAY too long to load my gun!
And my safety doesn't really make much of a click!
In my house it would be kind of a moot...
I'm using a free program called GunSafe - Firearms Collection Software
It has the capability of storing almost any kind of information about any particular firearm. Serial number, purchase info, sale info, photos, etc. I update it whenever I make a new purchase and try to add photos the next...
ummm... Wouldn't that be riding machine gun?
I've been kind of intrigued with the Urals. Especially since the complete package is about the same price as a Harley sidecar by itself. Unfortunately the closest version I've seen to this setup only had a big spotlight on the sidecar. :dunno...
BTW, if you ever plan on tumbling down the pavement with your carry weapon I'd suggest carrying it in a good thick holster. This might be a good case for an all-metal gun as well.
[Sigh]
I said that you should not tell an officer that the other person approached you in a non-threatening manner.
You have said that you would not tell an officer that the other person approached you in a non-threatening manner.
So where are we in disagreement?
The problem was that a...
Then by your interpretation, my permit is now expired because I sent in the renewal on 3/13/09 and my permit expired on 5/14/09, 62 days later, without ISP having sent my new permit. In fact, that doesn't make sense since the same section says that the ISP will process permits within 60 days. So...
I just wanted to point out that there is one large difference between the Kimber system and the cans of Mace. That is...there's no can! The Kimber system is not propelled by compressed gas. It has something similar to a blank inside each cartridge. Also, it doesn't fire both streams at the same...
That means after. It's a grace period for renewal. However, your permit is not good during the period between when it expired and when the renewal is filed. So if you get caught carrying on an expired permit, renewing it the next day doesn't make it all better. (Unless the judge is having a...
I can think of a circumstance, NAVSEA Crane. A Navy base right here in Indiana. Security does random checks of cars entering the base with dogs trained to sniff out firearms (as well as other things.) :rolleyes:
The only thing I ever heard about 21 feet was that something on the order of 95% of pistol shootings occur withing that distance. Which makes sense if you think about it. Most indoor shootings are restricted by the size of the room and many outdoor shootings occur during arguements, fights, etc...
Actually, when I retired, I had to take a class on what I wasn't allowed to do with my firearm as a private citizen that I could as a police officer. And I'm not going to go into any of them here. However, if someone is trying to take your pistol, and are a threat to you, then you are justified...
Because, in my original post, I said not to tell an officer that you were approached in a "non threatening manner" if you wanted to claim self defense and you disagreed with that statement.
