DENIED LTCH due to lack of interest???

[Dr Falken]

Kinda crazy that "SD" in the OP was denied LTCH, because of only a "passing interest" in target shooting. Seems to me that owning and carring greatly improves one's ability to target shoot. But I guess that begged the question.

People who move to states like New York deserve New York style politics.

What?! I'm not sure how to begin taking bites out of that giant s**t-sandwich of a statement. People who choose to move to New York don't do so because of the politics. Are you also saying someone converting to catholicism deserves to be molested by a priest? Are "[Indiana] style politics" the reason you moved/choose to remain here?

Are "[Indiana] style politics" the reason you moved/choose to remain here?

Yes, actually. They were a factor in our research, and decision to move here.

Yes, actually. They were a factor in our research, and decision to move here.

Well that is good to know. I thought for sure that people move for practical reasons. I'm sure that politics affected your decision almost as much as the weather. Both the weather and national/state politics change constantly and many times both are way beyond our control, so for you to actually factor politics into your primary reasoning to move seems a little silly. Unless of course you are a politician or a meteorologist.

For me, moving to an area, like Illinois, New York or California, with politics that are nearly completely opposed to mine, would be the height of stupidity. To compare such basic things as being able to exercise Constitutional rights with the weather is just silly. People who move, or choose to continue to live, in such places have no room to whine and moan. They've made the decision for "practical reasons" to do so... apparently their happiness, freedom, and quality of life aren't practical considerations, so they reap what they've sown.

Joe, please I'm begging you to use your brain and draw reasonable conclusions from only a few sentences here. The comparison I was making was not between the actual importance of weather and politics. The comparison was between two factors that people faced with the decision to move, take into account. Also, I never want to see you whining and moaning about anything related to Indiana politics again. If you do, my reply will simply be: move your lazy a55 out of Indiana or to reap what you sow.
