Re: Fort Hood Soldier flees DPS going 200 mph on motorcycle, while illegally carrying gun
that speed is a physically impossibility for the bike in question I disagree. Assuming a drag coefficient somewhere around .35, which isn't unusual for sport bikes, under the right conditions, it should be able to achieve 200+mph within a few seconds without even cranking the motor on. "rlol&q...

Re: Tax Free 2nd Amendment Items
The poll tax, was a tax you had to pay in order to vote. You don't have to pay a tax in order to exercise your 2nd amendment rights (baring the exception of things like NFA items). The tax you are paying are for the goods and items which just happen to be 2nd Amend. related. So the feds enacting a ...

Re: FLAG burning being challenged by Trump
Flag burning should be treated the same as cross burning and political effigy burning. If one is legal the others should be too. I'm flexible on which way it falls, but let's be consistent across the board. In either case, actual speech should be protected by the First Amendment. No hate speech laws...

Re: Mall security and right to physically detain you

Re: Mall security and right to physically detain you
Best Practice is to avoid businesses where they accuse paying customers of being thieves because they're too incompetent to realize when someone is walking directly from the register to the exit after paying.Cedar Park Dad wrote:To bring it back to topic, again as a CHLer is this best practice?

Re: Mall security and right to physically detain you
At this point, this thread reminds me of those in power who insist: Show me your papers schweinhund. You paid for your purchases.
