Heh, I missed this thread originally. I took an almost identical photo as the OP while bored at Seattle airport a couple of years back:
Totally anti-guns in general, but I'd rather like to see what it feels like to shoot a few at some targets. Shooting at cars with military grade stuff sounds like a lot of fun too.

When I worked for a big chain store, all you needed was a "valid" proof of identity (be it drivers licence, passport, military ID card, ecc... anything with a picture and birth date) to purchase hunting / fishing knives, b b guns / pellets, anything deemed "over 18 years old required additional verification". We never scanned the proof of identity - as long as it had a birth date and we entered the date, the computer allowed us to proceed with ringing the customer up. The id could have been 100 per cent certified fake, but as long as there as a birthday showing this person was over 18, they were valid. Trust me - this happened in my line once. Two gentlemen who happened to be not of American origin, were in town with a poorly made NY drivers licence. They were buying a b b gun pistol and questioned how legal it was to take it across state line. That I did not know the answer to. What I did know, was they were smart enough to put a 1980 birth date on this card. So they were allowed to buy the gun. What's my point? I've seen enough fake IDs to know what it looks like (a dorm mate was in the print making business one year). But that's besides the point. America likes to check birth dates on things, ask you to go into back rooms for weapon purchases or make sure you're really old enough to buy that box of snappers fireworks. A bic lighter that's cellophaned in cardboard still needs adult approval, but buying fishing wire so a teen can commit suicide doesn't. Or have them buy a magazine to read how to load a gun to have fun with their friends. Can't figure it out.

Any idea when?

Nope. Probably late summer at this rate. Wanna plan a trip to Nashville as well so it depends when everyone is around.

Late summer would be good. It's too cold right now to enjoy putting bullet holes in things.

Well, I'll wheel the pickup through Lincoln if you want to come wrecking stuff with us.

My last phone was pink because no one wanted that colour so it had a massive discount. Same as the red laptop I have now.
There was a trend a few years ago amongst the yout in Nottingham to have pink phones, but I don't think it's that.

when I lived in a basement flat in Queens all those years ago, we inherited the previous occupants entire contents. Along with Leisure suits and porn mags, we found a couple of copies of a semi jizz mag that had the tagline that America was founded on blood, guts and guns and amongst the handgun reviews, there were pictures of ladies holding weapons in a state of partial undress.

Too many people are pushing the gun issue these days. It's no longer a sport - hunting, ecc. In fact, the more killings that are done and the more magazines produced, the sport has turned from deer to humans. Those "psychos" with the semi automatics surely couldn't have known how to clean their gun properly or load it correctly if it weren't for the publication they purchased at a local market.
And I some what agree with this:
And the more naked chicks holding a fire arm, the better selling the magazine is...

sorry, just reread my quoted post above and I now recall it was "God, Guts and guns"

Off duty cops work film shoots here in their off hours, in full uniform.
Not sure why that's a bad thing. Maybe it makes criminals think twice or something.

Because I don't think cops - who are paid for by the public - should wear their uniforms protecting private corporations in their own time.

They're off duty, though.
One good thing about cops being used that way: at least they have some training, which is more than can be said for a lot of armed security guards in the US.

Yes they are. So they shouldn't be wearing the uniform or carrying guns whilst working for someone else.

Seems odd that anyone would need an armed cop to defend a B&N store. It's just a book place. Hardly worth robbing at all.

Maybe they want to steal the gun magazines?

Yep, when they're for rent they should be wearing the rent-a-cop uniforms and carrying a pepper spray at most.

They are effectively on-duty cops - it's actually portrayed as a way to have police presence in an area without affecting police department resources. If you do something they consider a crime they can arrest you etc. So perhaps they should be wearing full cop uniforms - the question is, why should people be allowed to hire cops?

Perhaps they're afraid of the people who bought Nooks that are no longer supported.

A lot of the time they don't even do background checks on the people they hire. Theoretically, they could be handing a gun to a wife beater or a convicted felon. I saw it happen once when I was working shit jobs like that.
