But hey, just like Beth we're all still living and learning...some faster than others...

What!?!  Beth doesn't get the RaD?  Are you getting soft?  Is she cute?

I haven't met him, nothing against him I just disagree with the way he runs his business if what has been said is true.  If police and firemen get discounts I really have a problem with that and I will vote with my dollar and eat at Wendy's.

I would like confirmation that this is true, but I somehow believe it.
It's called "paying off the cops to keep them off your ass".  Why is that so morally depraved?

Beautiful...


just wish she had consulted with those more philosophically mature than the forever-meddling bureaucrats and their murdering enforcers...

Everyone coming in might not be properly trained in the handling of firearms.

Very few, I'd expect.

A bunch of newbies getting all excited without really knowing how to handle gun before exercising the open carry option sounds like a tragic accident waiting to happen.

I have been mildly fearfully awaiting just such an event.

Someone should approach Shaw and entice him to fly out and do a biannual training program.

If by entice you mean pay, then I'm sure I could be persuaded.

Whoop-sie! Dropped my gun!

That's why I don't carry a gun.  I know I'm a clumsy idiot, and I just never cared for guns in the first 2.5 decades of [my] life.  Better leave it to the professionals.  (I mean free market professionals, obviously.)

I think that that is a very mature and rational attitude.

Also, it's the same reason I'm not having kids.

Kids don't shoot projectiles when mishandled, and they're very resilient.  As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing my parents did or could have done that would be worse for me than not being born.  Even if you end up a socially retarded forum troll, it's still a life worth living.  But that's just me.

I get it, I'm just expressing my frustration with the one fatal flaw of secular libertarianism: economic growth benefits from demographic growth (or can suffer greatly from lack thereof) , and there doesn't seem to be a sufficient natural reward for having children.  People will hire other people to protect them (i.e. handle guns), but not to have children who will be needed to fill the labor market when you retire.  I believe this problem could fix itself with less government intervention in family and greater parents' rights, but that's a subject matter for another thread.

You can give someone gun safety classes all you want but it isn't going to do a lick of good if the person is a fucking idiot like Anarcho-Jesse.

Interesting. You're not the first person to say that AJ is sort of a dipshit.

OC'ing (generally not a good idea, and the people who are first to ask you to stop are the people who have been fighting for gun rights for 30+ years in NH) …

Yeah. These would be the people responsible for fracturing the gun-rights movement into no less than three organizations (GO-NH, PGNH, NHFC), which spend more time bickering amongst themselves than getting things done. Among their highlights are (a) kicking legislators off of their own board, when said legislator–board members weren’t there, (b) attacking pro-gun legislators like Jason Bedrick, with wild conspiracy theories about the true intent of his pro-gun bills, and (c) calling the police on a gun owner advertising a gun for sale.

Just thought I should throw that out there.

There are FSPers and native Friends of the FSP that are credentialed (I forget with what organization(s)) to give regular gun safety classes, and to train other people in giving gun safety classes. I believe one of the FSP state reps is one such person.

But that's just it -- the kind of people that go to (and teach) such classes are, by and large, the kind of people that run (credible) campaigns for for State Rep.
They are also not the kind of people to put their Free-Stater status or general philosophy right in the face of everyone they interact with.
They are the kind of people that quietly, competently volunteer at a soup kitchen... without making a drama out of it.

Anyone who’s gone out to Ron’s range has gotten a crash course in gun safety.
