School board meeting shooting - FL

[TAB]

One of the great things about Texas. You can get in the state capitol faster and not have to deal with the metal detectors if you have a ccw license. Still cant carry on school prperty. Unless its a college then you just cant enter any of the buildings.

see now that bothers me... why should a CCW holder be held to a diffrent standard as some one else?  just like why should a off duty LEO, be held to a diffrent standard as a non LEO?

It dosent bother me. Hell its more like an incentive to get it. Plus it tells the BG who not to screw with ( or to shoot first). Hell even the governor carries.

[TAB]

It should.


Lets replace CCW with say contracting lic.  would it be fair for me as a contractor to be able to walk right by the metal dectors and you can't?


I have had contracting lic in 5 states, every single one of them took more mandatory training/harder tests, cost more, had the same back ground check then it took to get a CCW in the same state.

Think about that for a second.

You're denied a contractors lic if you have a domestic violence incident from 15 or 20 years ago?
I had no idea.

From M'Ette: It made me sick when the news commentators kept saying .."There's a whole lot of heros in this room..."

So you would rather go throught the metal detectors and have to show everyone that you are in fact armed? Atleast the other way they dont know for sure. Sorry I dont see a contracting lic. the same as a ccw.

I'd rather have every one treated the same. 



My point about the contracting lic bit was that there are many other things that the goverment requires to do XXXX, that are alot harder to get then a CCW.  Why should CCW be singled out?

reality, there is not a member on this board that has not commited a felony of some kind at some point in thier life.  Chances are very good you may not have even known you commited a felony.   The diffrence between us and a convicted felony is litterly they got cuaght.  There are thousands and thousands of felonys on the books.   Some make sense, others are from a diffrent time period and some are just plain strange.


Yes I do have a CCW, I do live in CA, and I find it rediculus thats its harder to get a Contracting lic then it is to get a ccw in most states.

How about the simple fact that a CCW holder has already gone through at least 2 background checks, one o buy the Gun, another for the CCW.
Dumbass.

As I've said in this thread, there is not a single person here that has not commited a felony at some point in thier life.  the only diffrence between us and those that can not own guns is they got caught. 

Often you don't even know you have commited a felony.

Things can change between the time of the last back ground check.  Ever see how fast some one can destroy thier life with meth?  I mean going from a person with a family and job.  To will do anything for thier next fix?   Its not very long.

TAB, you are correct in  your dislike of this situation and in your belief that everyone should be equal. 

The solution is not to begrudge those who have a means to get closer to what we all should have.

The solution to getting everyone their proper rights under the 2A is not to make everyone "equal" by taking away more favorable rights of those who have them.

As an example.    I believe everyone should only be paying a very small, below 5%, income tax.  Everyone paying that same low tax.

Well, the way to get there is not to raise the taxes of those who are able to get a lower rate so that everyone will be equal at a higher rate.

TAB is like one of those Muslims that has no goat, but lives next to some one who does.
He does the "logical" thing,
He prays to Allah to kill his neighbors goat.
