Tax, baby, tax!

I have an idea. I know, it's radical...but why not cut taxes AND spending?

I know...I'm crazy.

On a side note, kudos to you Chris for picking a Magnum Research Baby Eagle/Jericho 9mm for the image.

I've had the pleasure of shooting one chambered in .40 S&W and it was a marvelous piece of machinery.

I do hope the family finds comfort in their loss.

Yet, I find myself thinking of those Marines who were called cold-blooded killers...and how they never received their apology.

Open carry is legal in PA. No LTCF is required. It is required for concealed carry and transport (among other things).

So, yes, you can walk down the street with a sidearm exposed without any legal violations. And last year's MPOETC training update made it very clear to law enforcement that it is legal and that stopping citizens and "asking for papers" is improper.

It doesn't sound crazy...it sounds American! Enjoy that little bit of liberty that we still have in this state...

Sadly, the state violates its own Constitution when it requires the License to Carry Firearms (LTCF). And the new "standardization committee" is a joke. The process is already standardized...but we have rogue sheriffs all over the state who simply do what they want, including lying about the usefulness of the LTCF and the laws regarding carrying a firearm.

There are several counties who follow the law - and obtaining an LTCF takes only 10 minutes. There are several other counties that take up to the 45-day max...and some counties that illegally go beyond that. Unfortunately, you can only go to your home county.

On top of that, the PSP is continuing to add to its illegal gun registration that they handily call a "sales database."

But Tom Corbett is too busy campaigning to notice...

Not to mention that the ice that is melting in Greenland is revealing settlements that were there during a different warming period - centuries ago. After all, it was called "Greenland" for a reason...and not because "Iceland" was already taken.

Your exceedingly biased "comparison" forgot to mention that the 2nd candidate has done so much campaigning that he has failed miserably at doing his elected job. His Bonusgate investigation is a joke at best, he has allowed the PSP and local municipalities to run roughshod all over the Second Amendment and the Uniform Firearms Act. The list goes on...

You're right. We should start dealing with reality.

In reality, there is no proof of man-made global warming. Any "evidence" has been shown to be either manipulated, misrepresented, or outright fraudulent. Anyone who has ever compared pictures of "1910 Pittsburgh" to "2010 Pittsburgh" knows how much cleaner the environment is now. Yet the panic continues.

And speaking of the "usual partisan stuff," why is it that the LEFT are the ones pushing man-made global warming and trying to paint skeptics as lunatics? Or in your case, implying that skeptics aren't sensible, courageous, or focused on the issues? Hypocrisy, meet your maker...

In reality, the Earth is continually going through warming and cooling cycles. We are currently heading into a cooling cycle.

In reality, the Earth is the biggest polluter. One volcanic eruption (happening long before the industrial age of man) does far more damage than we can muster in decades. Oil seepage from crevices in the oceans put more oil in our waterways than hundreds of Exxon Valdez tankers ever could. Before modern man, wildfires would rage unchecked until they ran out of fuel.

Yet the Earth still keeps spinning.

Everything that I've heard points to Mike Kelly as the chosen one. MerCo GOP Chairman King's actions have also helped flesh that out.

I met Mike Kelly...and he does seem like a pretty good guy. I also met Clayton Grabb. I know that he's squarely in the conservative corner.

Outrage over criticism? Egads...

If your skin isn't thick enough for politics, get out! If you think that you should be on a pedestal now that you're a bigwig, get out!
