  1. There are many risks involved with carrying a gun and being falsely accused of brandishing is just one of them I guess. Printing is not illegal and even though skinny jeans on certain individuals should be they aren't illegal either. Could it happen? Sure. But I believe there is enough officers out there that would look at the situation and evaluate it properly.

    Sure there are risks, I'm not debating that. But, you're putting an awful lot of clout into an officer who isn't an attorney and doesn't necessarily KNOW the law, (s)he's there to make a judgment call at the time and let the big wigs figure it out later. Even if you're found innocent, you really wanna spend a couple uncompensated hours of your day in the clink over it? What happens if that judgment call doesn't match what actually happened?

    Also it comes down to who calls the law first. If someone tries to rob me and I draw on them then they have a change of heart and run off. I'm.still calling the police and giving a description of the guy and a good account of what happened. That same guy might tun off bitter that his easy victim got the upper hand on him and wanna get revenge by calling the cops and stating I pulled a gun on him. If I called first and established myself as the victim first I have the upper hand.

    I woudn't put a lot of legal faith in the "I called first"-defense either.

  2. I really have no idea what you are trying to argue with me about?

    v---------------------------------------------------------------------v

    If you're charged with brandishing a weapon, or whatever the charge is... how does the arresting officer know you actually brandished it?

    It's really a 'he said-she said' case if there are only two witnesses right? Yourself and the person you brandished against... so does the officer make the assumption you DID branish the weapon, cite you, and let the courts figure it out later; or is this an "innocent until proven guilty" case?

    That's still the question, and without making assumptions because if you apply one standard, it has to be applied across the board.

  3. Sure, because everyone that makes false accusations has a criminal record a mile long.

    That's why we don't even need a law on the books against making false accusations because only known criminals would make them.

    On the flip side, we know all CCW holders are 100% moral and ethical angels that should be believed 100% of the time.

    The sarcasm is thick above.

  4. How would the other party know you had a gun unless you did brandish it?

    :dunno: Poor concealment (printed)? Skinny jeans? It really doesn't matter how someone figured out if you're carrying or not... just because someone is carrying a weapon doesn't mean they brandished it.

    That's a big assumption there kawi.

  7. My issue with it is she is not learning to be comfortable/ happy with herself. Society has made image such a huge thing young girls don't feel like they are pretty unless they are stick skinny caked in make up and so far from their original self it is hard to recognize them.

    :confused: Girls AREN'T pretty unless they're skinny and blonde :confused:

  8. I'm playing too. I'm buying NO stocks, but instead sticking that $100,000 into a Jumbo money market account that currently makes .84% APY compounded daily (Per this link and this link the BEST account would actually be at 1.05%APY).*

    I'm betting I won't be last.

    *Note: If I was investing $100k of my ACTUAL money, this is NOT how I'd do it.

  9. I don't care, I would still hit it

    But would you eat it?:p

    And while I appreciate slingingchic's enthusiasm for contributing to the thread... She should be permabanned for that. Also permaban the OP of the pink Hayabusa chick, with massive infraction points for those that requoted it.

  10. The willingness of dealerships to negotiate has more to do with their business model than whether they are assholes or not. High volume dealers such as Honda East make their money selling a large number of bikes for a low profit margin. Most small local dealerships are content selling a smaller number of bikes for a high profit to loyal customers. There is one born every minute according to P T Barnum.

    Why not just open a shop that exclusively sells GSXRs to 18-24 year olds as their first bikes, and base the business model on the parts business? Of course, that makes the assumption they're still alive when they come back for parts.
