We used to require land ownership to vote... Personally, I think it
was a mistake going away from it...


In many localities, people who own nothing more than a 6'x3' plot of land
get to vote.

Some of them quite frequently.

eligible voters. The same was true for the entire state of Maine. That's
what we need -- 110% voter turnout)

Yep, those pesky civil rights laws.

No, the "digging into your neighbors wallet" syndrome.

As for voting "rights" it's sorta like what the Islamists are trying to do
with immigration in Eurabia.

After Katrina, one of the first responses by the NOPD was to confiscate
private citizens' guns. They used the gun registry.

One of the many reasons I live in NH, where we have very, very low crime
(other than routine violations of FARs, which no one polices), and fences
are usually to keep the horses on the property:

No, only club members get to vote on the laws. Both club members and
guests must abide by those laws.


That philosophy ultimately failed for King George III's club. Curse those
impudent guests! ;-)

Given the option of a high crime rate and the occasional nitwit buzzing
his buddy's house, the choice is obvious.

Parking lots are not sterile areas and guns are allowed,
even in the checked baggage on the airlines. I carried a
gun regularly in my flight bag on charter flights. Some of
my passengers did too, on part 91 flights. We also carried
hunters and target shooters on 135, and their unloaded guns
went in the airplane. If we had a nose baggage, they went
there, but in the King Air, it was all in the cabin.

Jim,

You're taking a pretty good leap of faith that "Emily" is even a female...

This is Usenet after all.

Yeah. Leaving NY (even though it was MUCH quieter, and I lived even closer
to a GA airport -- FRG) was a great move. The liberal politicians have
created a tax hell in NY. Regulations are ridiculous, taxes are crushing,
and the damned public sector unions are running the place. My Mossberg and
I were no longer welcome in the state where I grew up, so I left.

For those not in on Texas law, a 30.06 sign is a sign that
conforms to the Texas law on such signs, as to wording and
size and location. 30.06 is the chapter in the law.

.30/06 is the rifle caliber.


Nope.

..30-'06
