Tell me, what crime was the homeless guy guilty of? Was it even a felony?

Swinging a lock and chain at a man will probably qualify as felon assault.

Agreed with Mr. Shuberg. If a store owner observes a customer shoplift and follows that person into the street demanding the item be returned he does not forfeit his right to defend himself if said person escalates the situation by swinging a weapon at him. As for the reporting, I like the first par...

Hmac- great information! I was just about to look into this very possibility as I was unsure myself.

What a great turnout today! Great to see everyone.

I saw the Skype debacle. You mean there is no 'do not disturb' setting that they could have enabled to stop the incoming calls??? Or they are just incompetent... They clearly have no command knowledge of the software, and I suspect little casual knowledge, either. That was a huge win for Zimmerman ...

Anyone watching the Skype testimony fiasco for the Prosecution? This is hilarious.

They look like like a bunch of rubes.

Can we get these in an LCAC configuration? I'd like to see it go on water, too.

I just submitted my application last week. I've been trying to get on the waiting list for the Dakota County Gun Club for three years (I live in Rosemount so it's a LOT closer than OGC) but for three years I go to their site and it always says something to the effect of "All member slots are fi...

I wouldn't call it common per se, but it does happen. I personally have only had hang fire happen when shooting cap and ball which is way more common.

However, if it doesn't go bang, keep it pointed in a safe direction and remember your basic firearm safety protocol.

Thank you for clarifying where someone else would not.

I haven't heard that term used in about 20 years! I honestly didn't even consider that one.

//Still don't see it as racist, just like I don't consider Crazy Ass Cracker to be racist.

That's not a personal attack. That's a stereotype. A personal attack is something like calling Trayvon "Trayvoon." And it has the added bonus of being incredibly racist. I don't know why I'm stepping in this mess. Have to disagree- Trayvooon is neither a personal attack nor racist. It's a...

I haven't been looking too closely since I dressed mine with the cheap junk from CTD last fall to get a feel for it. I can say that I haven't seen it anywhere in the Lakeville area. I believe, however, that I saw a fore end at Bill's in Robbinsdale; I don't think I've seen the SGA at a retailer, but...

Friend of mine saw 8 boxes of .45ACP on the shelf at the Wal-Mart in Apple Valley, went back 30 minutes later, all gone. D@mnit! That's my local Wal-Mart! And now that The Wife is carrying a 1911 I actually have a need for .45ACP. Ah well, maybe next time. On a partially related note I was shooting...

When the post title came through in my email I swore this had to be an Onion article.
