I thought I heard on the news last night, that there was a fire that gutted a Weymouth Gun Club. I can't find a single online source to substantiate this, though; so I'm starting to think I may have dreamt it (which would be creepy). Has anyone heard anything about this? :confused:

So, last night I went to an event where 6 leaders in the abortion debate (3 pro-lifers and 3 pro-choicers) discussed their very intense personal conversations with each other. But before I talk about that, I want to emphasize that this is not intended to be an "abortion thread". I'm curious to...

Is there a way to de-bunk this? I'm in a debate with someone, and called the "8 kids a day" thing a "statistical lie". Is there a source I can use to back this claim up?

It's my understanding that people (except maybe in a few states?) don't have to register their guns (which makes cop shows on tv really confusing for me). Yet I just read on the internet about someone who was charged with, among other things: What is that???

2-part question. :) Every once in a while, there will be a thread about something that happened at a pro-gun or pro-2A conference. How would one go about learning of these conferences ahead of time? And, are they expensive? Is there such a thing as a second amendment career? Perhaps in policy...

(Didn't know which forum to put this in... :o) Actually, this isn't my very first. I had one other debate, but that was when I was still learning, so there are a lot of deserted arguments. But anyway...I just found this board, and wouldn't ya know it, the second post I read is about concealed...

Okay TFL'ers, I need your help to get me thinking straight again. :) (But please don't flame me) So last night/this morning...around 2:30am, our neighbors upstairs had quite a loud fight. They're two females, I'd say in their 30s. They have lived on the third floor (we live on the second floor)...

Okay. Last night I was in Boston waiting for my bus to go home. I had gotten out of a meeting at 10:15pm, and it took about 15 minutes to walk to the bus stop, so this was about 10:30pm. I was sitting on a bench, trying to blend in, listening to the people around me. I haven't taken a course...
