Heh. Bet the Bounty hunter couldnt take him down alone

If only Dog would cut off that horrible mullet.  Other than that he seems pretty cool.  

I like Paul Sr. too.

state laws that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms are unconstitutional... the SC and even the ACLU are hiding from the fact.

never has there been such a blatant violation for so long without the SC jumping in... It is the ultimate hot potato.

In the old west... even when they outlawed firearms in town... they really only outlawed open carry.   concealled carry was never a problem... that is why so many "pocket" guns were made.

At some point there is gonna be a real hearing on the second... I don't want left wing supremes sitting when it does.   assasinating presidents does nothing... but take out bader ginsburg say...

There is no such thing as a civilian carrying a gun in Hawaii.  Only police and uniformed armed security carry guns.  Irregardless of any criminal history, he couldnt carry a gun here anyway.

Maybe not where you come from.  Its quite common in some parts of the country.  And even if its not "proper" english, its still acknowledged "as a word".  

Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less Pronunciation: "ir-i-'gärd-l&s
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
nonstandard : REGARDLESS
usage: Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance.

Thats from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.  So nyah.

Star,

What bugs me about the use of the "word" irregardless is it is used in place of the perfectly good word regardless, as if somehow one gets extra credit points for the extra syllable. There is a word "axe" but when used as a verb (let me axe you a question) it also bugs me, yes one could use the argument, I suppose that it is a word and because many folks use it it is somehow ok.

Not being the word police here it's just one of those things that stick in my ear, irregardless of what others think.

Regards,

What bugs me is how people snipe at others grammar and spelling on an internet BBS just to inflate their own ego.

It's people like this that give those of us with superior intellect a bad name among the ill educated masses.

I agree 100%, "concealed carry" laws are a feel good compromise that let politicians who claim to support the 2nd amendment feel they can get off the hook, while still giving the nannys some feeling they have retained a bit of control, no matter how small.  The main argument is going to come over how narrowly the govt. is allowed to define the "bear" part of "keep and bear arms", and whether that is something that can even be decided at the state level, or if it has to be more focused at the county or local levels.  The important thing for now is for those of us at the bottom of the heap (i.e. "voters") to keep bugging our politicians about how unhappy we are with the restrictions.  Getting voted out of office is the only threat that makes any impression.

I always viewed the idea of private citizens chasing fugitives a bit strange, but every country has its own legal system and court system. If you have private bail bondsmen (we have none here) then its a logical step to have private bounty hunters. I dont think its better or worse, just different.

I wondered why he didnt carry a firearm (Dog), and figured it was a state law thing....I have seen others on TV that look like they have more firepower than the Israeli army.

What do those guys make anyway $$$ ? Is it a decent living?

Depends on how long untill the bondsman is going to have to forfit the bond, the closer to that date the more they are willing to pay, 10-20% of the face amount is about average.

A little know fact is that a bounty hunter can enter a dwelling without a warrant if he knows for sure the skip is in the place, so many times if you let the locals know who you are there to pick up, and they would like to take a peek in the place they will be happy to back you up.
