And I thought you Twice-Born believed in repentance.

I’ve been to the Dark Side.

I returned to sanity.

Jealous?

Well jeez monkeyboy. Speaking for the twice born, all I can say is “praise the Lord and pass the ammunition”.

Don’t you fall into the baby boom demographic?

Those born between 1944 and 1964 are generally considered a part of that group.

I’ve been saying this for years. 77 million babybooomers. 1/5th
the US population aging.

Think of investing in what they will need:

Healthcare
Healthcare products
Drugs
Adult daycare
Adult diapers
Senior Centers
Senior retirement communities
Senior Travel agents/trip planning
Senior activities coordinators
Legal counsel (wills/POA/living wills/trusts)
Cemetary plots
Tombstones
Caskets

They will DEMAND representation and benefits like noclass of Americans ever in our history. They will wield the power and have time on their hands to use it.

Somebody’s going to be busy digging holes in a few years.

“So far, more than 4,000 of the 21,000 concealed-carry applicants to the Kansas Attorney General’s Office have been men ages 50 to 60,”
—————————————————-
That’s in line with the last census in terms of percentage of the population.
If the idea is it’s a bunch of scared or angry old men, you’re wrong.
============================================

Men between the ages of 50 and 60 makeup 20% of the population in Kansas?

“Get out of my yard you damned kids!”

One less dirt bag to worry about.

Monkeyhawk wouldn’t you be concerned about blood splattering on your own clothes, or maybe a ricochet?

Actually Brian, I think had the major points in my initial post. I mention the five shots AFTER the guy was unconscious on the floor and ended
with

Ya think?

“Boy died as father showed him how to stab someone”

I’m not advocating the guy go to the pokey.

But if you drop a bandit with a head shot then stand on top of him and pump five more rounds into the dead guy’s torso, you might have “issues.””

I think the issues in that situation would be adrenaline and emotion.
However, “the rest of the story” in the case in question reveals something completely different.

I once had a three-year-old sister.

No way I’m gonna believe it was “accidental.”

United Auto Workers – worst union ever?

Yeah, there was some key information you left out:

“Ersland is seen chasing the second man outside before returning, walking past Parker to get a second gun then going back to Parker and opening fire.

The charge alleges Ersland shot Parker while he was incapacitated and lying on his back. Ersland’s account of the incident doesn’t match the video or the evidence collected at the scene, according to an affidavit written by Oklahoma City Police Detective David Jacobson.

Jacobson said the suspect who ran away from the pharmacy was armed, but no gun was found near Parker.

“Ersland shows no concern for his safety as he walks by Parker, and turns his back to Parker as he walks behind the pharmacy counter,” Jacobson said. “Ersland is then seen to put the pistol he is carrying on the counter, and retrieve a second pistol from a drawer.”

Ersland used this pistol to shoot Parker on the ground, the detective said.”

“DETROIT — A person briefed on General Motors Corp.’s plans says the company on Monday will identify the 14 factories it will close as it heads toward an a likely Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection filing.

The person says United Auto Workers officials in Detroit have told plant-level union leaders that the company will make the announcement, not the union.” Fox

More factories closing under Obama – worst president ever.

Your statement is missing an important step: what percentage of people who own handguns are applying for CC permits.
Since there is no registry of handgun ownership there is no valid way to tell. I know many people who own handguns for are not applying for CC.

I guess the kid was still wiggling.

Wait. If the kill shot was justified (I am presuming the shot to the head killed the robber) how can they charge the guy with first-degree murder for the five shots that came afterward.

That doesn’t pass the smell test.
