That’s the big problem. There are a bunch of gun stores in East Chicago, because it’s in Indiana. People just cross over state lines, buy guns, and go back to Chicago proper.
Well if you’re a resident of Illinois you can’t go to another state and buy a gun from a licensed dealer. You’d have to have it shipped to an FFL in your state. Since this rule is in effect then the FFL in Illinois wouldn’t sell it to you.
The only way you can go to another state and get a gun is if it’s a private sale.
Not legally, and not through any licensed dealer. So if you know of anyone doing that, feel free to report their crimes to the police so you can do your part to reduce gun crimes.
yes but everyone who wanted to smoke in the 80s and everyone who wants to smoke today does- but there are only less smokers and less smoke inside nowadays because it was legislated.
First, you have to start somewhere. If one person legally purchased a nuclear bomb, I don’t think they shouldn’t pass a law preventing anyone else from purchasing a nuclear bomb.
Second, you’re not going to be carrying around any long gun. Those will be for home defence at most, likely just a range toy (and also to be shown during a protest to make sure other people know your people are armed). Maybe it’ll be useful if we end up in a civil war or something, idk. A handgun is nearly as good at killing people and can be carried around easily. If you want protection from these people then you want a handgun.
A handgun has almost as much killing power as a rifle. Most rifles people have are fire 5.56x45mm rounds. The penetrative power of those are reasonably low. Now, 7.62 will probably punch through any body armor they’re wearing, but that’s fairly uncommon I’m the US. With the NGSW we’ll see more larger rounds, but until then your handgun will kill about as well as their rifle, assuming your close enough which a self defence situation would imply.
A longer gun is better for longer ranges. If you’re at longer range, probably just get out of the way instead of thinking you’ll fight back. Most likely you’ll just make the situation more confusing and no one will be able to identify the “good guy with a gun” and you’ll get shot, by police or otherwise.
Man, the ACLU is gonna have a field day with this one. And Newell should be charged with making a fake police report:
The search warrant identifies two pages worth of items that law enforcement officers were allowed to seize, including computer software and hardware, digital communications, cellular networks, servers and hard drives, items with passwords, utility records, and all documents and records pertaining to Newell. The warrant specifically targeted ownership of computers capable of being used to “participate in the identity theft of Kari Newell.”
She's claiming that because Meyer did research on her, he's participating in identity theft. Great job at keeping this story out of the papers, Newell, now everyone knows you're a drunk-driving criminal with no respect to for the rule of law or freedom of the press. Welcome to the Streisand effect.
It wasn't just her. What happened was the paper said the police knew she didn't have a license and gave her a pass. The cops decided to punish the paper for calling out their corruption. Everything else just flows from incompetence, from the attorney general's office to the judge.
I hear you there - there's plenty of dumbfuckery laced throughout this story. I just wanted to draw out that particular piece of stupid in my comment, because it's clear that this drunken trash heap of a human being is the root of the entire brouhaha.
That's a good find. Unfortunately for that chief, he seems to have a talent for lighting his problems on fire instead of burying them. What could have been a quiet little small town scandal blew up to become national news. Good work, chief!
And the greatest irony to me is that the newspaper reported on NONE of this. OK, they did cover the story where Karin went off the rails and aired her own dirty laundry at the town council meeting, but it's not like that was any sort of secret.
Meyer reported last week that Marion restaurant owner Kari Newell had kicked newspaper staff out of a public forum with LaTurner[US rep], whose staff was apologetic. Newell responded to Meyer’s reporting with hostile comments on her personal Facebook page. A confidential source contacted the newspaper, Meyer said, and provided evidence that Newell had been convicted of drunken driving and continued to use her vehicle without a driver’s license. The criminal record could jeopardize her efforts to obtain a liquor license for her catering business.
So, the beef was that they posted an unflattering- but true- article about somebody that was hosting a thing for a politician. Gotcha.
The search warrant, signed by Marion County District Court Magistrate Judge Laura Viar, appears to violate federal law that provides protections against searching and seizing materials from journalists. The law requires law enforcement to subpoena materials instead. Viar didn’t respond to a request to comment for this story or explain why she would authorize a potentially illegal raid.
The answer is obvious, isn’t it? politicians leaning on judges to protect supporters from criminal action.
Howdy!! It was more of a “that’s the last straw” sort of thing, but it was just ludicrous to me that I was being forced back into an office to sit on the same dang Zoom calls I’d been on every day for the previous two years.
When I inquired what was gained doing the exact same work still separated from everyone because we were across multiple states and countries, I was told “we work BeTtEr ToGeThEr!”
The mandate was announced in January, it went into effect in February, and I was gone in March.
Not exactly but close. I was hired on as “remote, but you’ll have to come in as needed to complete project work that needs to be done onsite.” I was then exclusively given projects that had to be done on site while the senior members of the team got remote projects.
Brought up my concerns to management, had them dangle remote work like a carrot I had to earn, quit. Found a fully remote job. Never been happier despite a significant pay cut. Highly recommend.
That's some crazy bullshit. If there was any justice at all the FBI would show up, arrest the police force responsible and return the stolen property. But we all know none of that is going to happen.
“Many companies are realizing they could have been a lot more measured in their approach, rather than making big, bold, very controversial decisions based on executives’ opinions rather than employee data,” Larry Gadea, Envoy’s CEO and founder, tells CNBC Make It.
“And to be clear, we are only talking about this one very very very specific thing, and not the 5000 other mandates that come down from the top each week.”
“Many organizations that attempted to force a return to the office have had to retract or change their plans because of employee pushback, and now, they don’t look strong,” says Kacher, the president of Career/Life Alliance Services. “A lot of executives have egg on their faces and they’re sad about that.”
This is worse than that. This is letting them make a photocopy of your license and store it forever in a well-ordered filing cabinet in a locked room you hope no one unauthorized ever finds a way into. Because the government made you do it.
In theory you’d be right - and in fact PornHub itself wants better age verification. This is more if a “this ain’t it, chief” from them. On top of privacy and reliability issues, the Texas one requires them to have a bunch of pseudoscience about porn on their landing page.
You know that’s not a law, right? The ratings system is something movie theaters and movie production companies have all agreed to. Unless there is a specific law in your local jurisdiction, in the US at least, there’s no national (or even state, I believe) law that says kids can’t see rated R movies
I just don't understand the motivation to bootstrap such a ridiculous farce. This drunk driving Karen obviously doesn't have the power to move a magistrate, ag, and an entire police force for bullshit claims of identity theft. There has to be very very serious levels of incompetence here. Magistrate signing without looking at warrants. AG drafting illegal searches. Officers following nonsense orders. Both the sheriff and the head of the police department authorizing illegal seizures?
Edit: NOW I know the motivation. It's because the paper said the police KNEW she didn't have a license but gave her a pass. The paper made the police look like corrupt idiots, so the chief of police go the attorney general's office to write an warrant and the judge blindly signs whatever the AG sends their way. That police chief should go to jail.
a sitting US representative does have that clout… Marion County, Kansas, has a little more than 10 thousand people. For comparison, the suburb I live in has just under 70 thousand.
it doesn’t take a lot of clout to get a county magistrate to do something in a podunk county like Marion. LaTurner did a favor for one of his supporters.
Not for the thumbnail, but I tried accessing the article to read it and it's just a continuous loop of asking me to prove I'm not a robot. What's up with that? I swear I'm not a robot, but it never accepts my answer and just asks over and over instead.
