We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Alas the link is not required to garner the benefits thereof that which has been bestowed upon you.

I disallow any knowledge of them, past or present. I have never meet them personally.
Further, I am as chastised I will ever be. Thank you for the redirect. :lol:
To the point: Guns should be allowed - period, exclamation mark. There I do feel better.
Now about that automatic sword.............

in the military we didnt call it "accidental discharge" it was "NEGLIGENT discharge". Nothing accidental about it,

I'd be curious to see other statistics on the number of bar casualities from other means, e.g., knives, broken beer bottles, ...even car accidents within five miles of the bar. I bet these would far outweight the handful of incidents where guns were used by legally carrying citizens. (Of course, the instances references by the blogger where guns were used, may not represent legally carried guns by licensed citizens).

AMEN to the "negligent discharge" definition. I ALWAYS harped about it being IMPOSSIBLE for the Beretta M9 (92 FS) to go off accidently. I taught everyone that ever handed one in my presenceabout ALL the safety features of the pistol. The hammer block keeps the hammer from striking the "2-part firing pin" without a deliberate pull of the trigger. You can whack the hammer with a hammer all day long until the sear broke, but the firing pin would NOT hit the primer unless the trigger were pulled...
UNTIL I heard about an "accidental discharge" (AD)at one of my units. I was charged with conducting the investigation and recommending action to the CO. I found the "offending M9" to be in such poor condiditon that the AD was not only possible, but very likely. it was so dirty that the firing pin block was stuck in the UP position. I recommended severe punishment for the person responsible for weapons maintenance and requested I be a witness at his Article 15, if that was the CO's decision.
There was an accidental discharge (one of very few I had heard about over 22 years), but there was negligence involved, too. Negligent maintenance; or better put: CRIMINAL negligence if you ask me...
Take care of your firearms and they will take care of you...
