That was spot on

All I'm saying is we should wait until we see evidence that he has a permit before we assume Reynolds was telling the truth. I actually think you just implied the guy was a gang member, and offered information in support of the claim that actually debunks itself ( if you bother clicking the supplie...

I want to point out that we don't know that Philando Castile had a carry permit. All we know is that Diamond Reynolds said he had a carry permit. But then, she also said he was driving, and the pictures clearly show him in the passenger seat. https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordp...

Why would you rush to identify with a stranger in a situation that you have NO FACTS about? I promise you that if I were in that situation, I would not be ventilated by the officer so why in the hell would I want to identify with someone who **** up and paid the ultimate price? Did you just admonis...

Seriously guys - this is about as much of a 'Put up or shut up' moment as the carry movement is going to have. Either stand against the shooting of permit holders, and the normalization of capable and lawfully armed civilians - or admit you aren't up for the task, and the movement either isn't that...

... is this a psycho-redneck-parody news site? I'm hitting the wall on poe's law on this one

- IF this guy was a permit holder, he should have been taught that if you declare that you are carrying you should then ask the officer how to proceed and not reach for your gun. Do any of you know of a permit instructor that does not cover this? We don't know if he had a permit or not (girlfriend ...

atomic41 wrote:So we should race to be outraged...that's a fantastic idea...what could possibly go wrong?

We should be concerned, and we should voice our concern. Outrage (my poorly stated early response) is an emotional reaction and produces little in way of effect.

I made one remark as to the racial component, because that was almost the entirety of the content of the comments/ threats on Facebook. Do you doubt that this will become an lightning rod for the antis, regardless of the facts of the event? Now as far as US getting outraged- tell me what happened(a...

A permit holder ostensibly attempting to comply with an officer is shot dead and all you can do is worry about the reaction because he's black? Shouldn't WE be way out ahead of black lives matters in terms of outrage on this?

I'm guessing he would have only one handgun if it wasn't for Cali's "bullet button" for the mag release. The "bullet button" makes it too difficult to change mags while driving wildly and hitting bicyclists. Easier to just toss the empty gun onto the passenger seat and grab the ...

I move that we intern all virgins until we get this sorted out.
