I have several friends that are in law enforcement, and they all say no where in the Constitution is it required that a citizen register to carry. They won't even give someone a hard time if they don't have a permit to carry.
What concerns officers the most are the illegals around here that sell drugs. They say they are the most dangerous since they literally have nothing to lose and many of them are also gang members.
They also want the borders enforced.

EVERYONE wants the border laws enforced! Why the hell do we continually let officials get away without enforcing them. If it's a law, then so be it. Oops, my bad, different discussion, off topic here.

I got pulled over one time when I had my 9mm in my seat. The clip was laying beside it. First words I told the cop was 'gun in the seat.' He looked at it, asked if it was mine, I said yes I had been target shooting with a couple buds, and he left it at that. He said that the guns that people show you and quickly admit they have arent the ones who are going to hurt you...its the ones that hide them and never tell you they have them that will hurt a cop.

I have a feeling the exact same thing is going to happen on American soil ... and soon. I mean, we've already had a guy fly a plane into an IRS building. Some say he deserves a medal, thats a little rough, but I understand their view on that.
Anyway, if our government doesn't get themselves in check, people are going to follow suit.
Mark my words.

Where is our great President Obama, our savior, and the only person who can unite the world into peace and unity.
That's what the Liberals and the ignorant believed.
The Bozo is what he has become......a clown in the White House.

What's Obama supposed to do, send in the troops?
If Egypt goes radical Muslim, the right will blame Obama for "losing" Egypt.
If Egypt goes democratic, the right will give credit to Obama.
..............Oh wait............no they won't.
The American government has been supporting an Egyptian dictator for the last 30 years to the tune of almost 2 Billion a year and now somehow it's Obama's fault? Are some of you that desperate? Don't answer that, it's obvious.
If he starts taking sides then certain finger pointers can say the USA is meddling and use that as an excuse to return Egypt to an Islamic State.
If Obama publically supports a peaceful transition then the peaple on the street see him as supporting a corrupt regime.
He can't win and the right is loving it because they think they have something else to Blame Obama for.
Nothing new here, it's the same old story only the names and date have changed.
... Besides, Faux News already lost Egypt, so blame them:

Well he is the leader of the free world, if that would count for anything.
It took him 10 days or more to voice any kind of opinion on Iran, so people just don't like seeing their "leader" playing Nero. But you are probably right Habbs, after all it takes time to decide who he will bow down to next. Let's just hope it isn't the Muslim Brotherhood!

WRT to Egypt, for once Obama seems to be doing the right thing: Nothing. That situation is literally beyond our control.
Will he be "blamed" for losing Egypt? Of course. Is he "blamed" for the horrible economy? Of course. Presidents have been screwed since the very first president decided to make political hay by "taking credit for" a great economy, or the price of oil dropping. Once they did this -- which we all intuitively know is ridiculous -- all future presidents became "liable" for anything bad that happens.
It goes with the territory, dumb though it may be.

Which isn't to say (by the way) that Obama hasn't done great harm to our nation in a myriad of ways. I'm just saying that -- for the moment -- he's doing the right thing in Egypt.
I'd like to think it's because Obama knows what he's doing, but -- if past performance is any indication of future results -- it's merely because he doesn't have a clue what to do next. Sometimes paralysis looks like policy.

There may be some, at east one, here that would be in favor of our American president bowing to the Muslim Brotherhood and would be happy to see a much stronger muslim influence throughout the world.
