Maureen,
A suggestion for you, it might help to actually read a thread before responding.

I did. And, until you started trashing the place I call home, I was starting to feel kinda sorry for you. I can certainly commiserate with missing kids. But if your job is such a godawful painful thing that you can’t even stand the place you have to be in to do it…I suggest you find another one. And leave California to those of us who enjoy it.
Just a note:
I live in San Jose, one of the top 10 places to live in the United States, AFAIK. Lower crime, nice and clean in most places, and a whole fucking lot more desireable of a place than all of Shithole, Tejas.
Fuck you very much, Mr. “Survival”. Mr. “You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead, hands”. :rolleyes: I’m so fucking impressed.
Sam
Sam,
Once again I point out that it’s NOT about impressing you, it’s about staying alive, live where you want and so will I.

Hey, not all of Texas is a shithole. Austin’s cool.
And I’ve seen a lot (LOT) of Cali plates in Austin, and I don’t think they pulled over any more than the Texans. Or the other 80 bazillion plates in that town.
Do your clients know you despise them? If I were dealing with a law firm I’d like to know that even if they weren’t sympathetic to my case, they’d at least be able to distance themselves to be objective while cashing my checks.
Talk about raging ignorance and closed-mindedness. You are aware, that despite a large increases in the number of guns and gun owners in the U.S., that accidental shootings have declined steeply over the past few decades - right?
Here’s another close-minded & stupid sort - iamme99 Note please, which side of the gun rights argument this willfully ignorant jackass is on.
Sam, I don’t often agree with you, but I’ve always kinda liked ya; you seemed a decent and tolerant sort. Plus, I’ve found your opinions to be generally well argued and supported. Why are you trying to make me change my mind?
Mr. Duffer,
My objectivity is not a problem while at work. Once work is through, I get to be myself again. Part of being myself is being honest, and that is what you see here.
Sam, who is getting ready for another 8 hours of objectivity as we speak…
And just what kind of work does a “2nd amendment law firm” do anyway? Are you telling us that you guys earn the bulk of your fees defending people who’ve run afoul of California’s Byzantine gun laws? If that’s the case, then I suspect the problem lies not with the “least informed, most closed-minded, ignorant(willfully so), and fucking daft groups of people on the planet” which are your clients, but rather in one of these two areas:
-
Your sample is limited to a certain group of people. I think you’ll find that if you were to widen your spectrum of interaction to include a more diverse set of people, you’d find that ill-informed, ignorant (willfully so), and fucking daft people are pretty much randomly distributed. As an example, see my link to iamme99 above. Or,
-
The gun laws of California are so screwed up, convoluted and illogical that it requires a person with years of legal training and experience to properly interpret the damned things. Persons of ordinary intelligence and life-experience cannot comprehend them.
My vote is for #2, Unc. However it doesn’t excuse the situations we hear of on a daily basis. A little bit of intelligence goes a long way…and as I said, the people(small sample size) our firm hears from tend to believe what they want to believe and it leads to major trouble. Probably a side-effect of our laws, but ignorance isn’t a defense and the judge rarely cares what the reasoning is.
Sam
Fair (and true) enough, GaWd. Thanks for responding.
