That's nice. I don't really mind if you carry hot. I do to. I'm just bugged by the people who insist you're going to die racking the slide when you can get a round off in barely over a second without one in the chamber. It's not the way you carry, it's the way you train.

I totally agree. I carry chambered myself. But the meme is more about the people who haven't even thought about it and just repeat what they've been told to believe.

Frankly, when I first realized how fast your draw to first shot could be even unchambered, I seriously considered switching. And I think everyone should consider it, instead of knee jerk ridiculing unchambered carry.

That makes a lot more sense.

Maybe. But why is Taurus analogous to having only one shoe?

Think of it this way.

Is it ethical to force someone to be a catholic, or a jew, or an atheist, or a hindu? I think you'll agree it is unethical. Suppose we didn't have the first amendment. Would that suddenly change the morality of forcing someone to practice or not practice a religion? I think we'll both agree it is still not ethical.

So then, the first amendment didn't create a right to freedom of religion. It described a right that already existed. It tries to bring legality in line with morality.

The same is true for the second amendment. Gun ownership isn't ethical because of the second amendment. The second amendment exists because gun ownership is ethical.

Glad you got it! a MOA has such great meat on it, and it would be such a shame if it got away just wounded.

To add some context (and not to justify this in any way), they aren't licensing "corn". They're licensing some random corn that they genetically modified to have a protein for producing betacaratin, or something like that. It's not like they've patented a wild variety of corn.

When it gets really frustrating is if you plant your corn next to your neighbors corn and they cross pollonate (because it's corn. That's what it does.) And then you keep the seeds to plant next year. And then that's violating some license. It's like "I didn't ask for your stupid genetic modifications, and now you're going to charge me money for them?!"

Oh good! Your the first person to approve my choice of a .950 JDJ highpoint. That's the one I have on me.

Both trump and pence swore up and down that there would be very serious consequences to saudi arabia for the murder of jamal Khashogi.

Pence, where were the consequences? did you pull military support from them? why is saudi arabia still our single largest U.S. Foreign Military Sales customer?
