CJ – not doing anything with that yet. there’s just not enough facts. sounds like Merriweather may have done something stupid, but the radio host who started this rumor has a history of floating BS

posse? what is this, 1997?
March 10th, 2011 at 8:44 AM
If Air Canada is really serious, they should pull all their corporate dollars from the NHL and reinvest that money in minor hockey where headshots are policed much more tightly.
However, I suspect that this is more a case of a pissed off exec who happens to be a Habs fan.
March 10th, 2011 at 8:44 AM

Air Canada is against head shots? Good…maybe they will leave the hockey business and make room for a tequila company as a sponsor that is in favour of BODY SHOTS! I don’t watch hockey but if the games ran ads featuring a busty dark haired beauty allowing a shapely blonde to do shots of her tummy…well that sport just gets instantly more interesting.

Interesting thing I just learned when trying to find Buzz Williams’ salary: Marquette has the highest basketball budget in the Big East, and the 5th highest in the country.
March 10th, 2011 at 8:58 AM
I have always wanted to learn how to shoot a gun though, you know, just in case. But I would feel extremely uncomfortable having one in the house, especially once I have kids.
March 10th, 2011 at 8:58 AM
Well double shit. No way I’m going out on a limb to defend Merriweather. Definitely not one of my favorite Canes. Considering he already got in trouble once in college for a gun incident, it seems he falls under the too dumb to learn lessons camp. We’ll see what happens when the facts come out but you are a fucking NFL safety, you can’t help your friend out by beating up the guy who’s beating him up? You have to run and get a gun?
March 10th, 2011 at 9:00 AM
Said this about the Air Canada deal last night. They could have approached the league behind closed doors, it’s a publicity stunt. Higher fuel costs = higher ticket prices = pissed off consumer. If I’m not mistaken their head office is in Montreal.
/cops in Montreal had to tell fans to stop calloing because they aren’t going after Chara

I’m not referring to ownership per se, more so talking about the fanaticism and paranoia that some of the population has when it comes to guns.
We have plenty of people here who own shotguns and rifles because they live in rural communities or are into hunting. I’ve got no issues with that. However, it’s extremely difficult to get a handgun and, for those who do, there are very strict controls in place. Almost nobody here complains about that fact but I get the sense that a lot of people would lose their fucking minds if there was that much government intervention in the U.S.
I guess my question is, why would anyone want a bunch of easily concealed weapons floating around amongst the general population? I know laws vary from state to state but based on what I’ve heard, it’s relatively easy to get a handgun in a lot of places. Also, doesn’t the abundant inventory in stores and among private owners make it much easier for criminals to get their hands on them through break-ins/theft? I just can’t wrap my head around it.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:01 AM
The bonus of not having to pay for football?
March 10th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
I initially figured it was because there was no football, but then a big chunk of Big East teams don’t have compteitive BCS football.

March 10th, 2011 at 9:05 AM
sorry to break it to you TBL, but even in Britney’s rough years a couple years back, I would still put her light years ahead of Avril Lavigne.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:06 AM
It’s still a bonus ont having to pay for it. Georgetown and Villanova both have FCS, which is expensive because you have to pay for everything but dno’t get as much on the back end like in FBS. If the other schools want to be cheap that’s their deal, I’m just saying it makes it easier for Marquette that they don’t.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:06 AM
Does anyone actually know any stories where someone carrying a concealed weapon, legally, used it for the intent that they purchased the gun for? Seems to me that most of the stories you hear end with the gun owner hurting themselves with their own gun somehow.
I’m not an anti-gun person, but I just don’t see a real need to have one outside of sport shooting or hunting.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
a safe, plus trigger guards, and if you wanted, you could always take the guns apart if you really wanted to.
my in law has an awesome set up. guns are locked up in a safe, in their own cases, taken apart. he makes his own ammo and has guns hidden around the house for protection. he does, however, live in a retirement community, so i think there’s paranoia there.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
I love double-barred shotguns. over-under’s are awesome too.

I got drunk at a gun (“sportsmans”) club last weekend. $2 for any beer. It was fantastic.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:09 AM
i’ve always wanted a Colt .45 1911A pistol. not that i would use it for more than going to a range, i just think it’s an awesome firearm.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:09 AM
not recently, but back in the 50′s my grandfather owned a bar/restaurant in downtown cleveland and chased off a couple muggers with his pistol he concealed.
kinda a stretch, and even tho im as pro-gun as it gets, i don’t really see the need for CCL.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
oh hell yea.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
I looked into getting my concealed weapon permit, but it was too big of a pain in the ass. they make it fairly “difficult” to get a concealed weapon permit, at least in Arkansas, and they are pretty liberal about guns around here. sadly most people that are going to use a concealed gun for illicit purposes don’t give a damn about some pesky concealed weapon law.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
But if someone breaks in you have to get the gun back together before they get to you, that’s a tough task unless your Forrest Gump.

I’ll never own a handgun because the risk analysis doesn’t work out as I see it.
But if someone wants to own a handgun on the struck by lightning chance that they’ll actually need to defend their life with it, go ahead.
Now assault rifles, on the other hand…

I still think that’s different than that guy who needs to go out in public strapped all the time for “protection”.
I know people that go to the gun range regularly and swear by it as a cathartic exercise.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:13 AM
But then here’s the thing – what exactly is the point of having it then? If you own one for protection and someone breaks into your house, you wont have time to dig it out and put it together. So whats the point?

Well let me ask to gun vets on here; How long does it take to assemble your weapon and have it ready to fire if you’re on the clock?
March 10th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
you don’t hear about them, because most of those individuals are responsible gun owners. they know when they really need to use it. do accidents and stupid people happen? yes. they also make for a more sensational story on the news. kinda like a bad car wreck. besides the morning traffic report, when was the last time you saw on the news a story about an accident not happening?
March 10th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
that’s why you need one of these.

My father’s family has been long time gun owners, keep them safe, go to the range etc. However I just don’t feel the need to own one. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to go to the range onetime and fire my Dad’s Desert Eagle.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
that’s a serious firearm. I got a buddy who has a Kimber 1911 9mm that is badass.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
This made me laugh, because a lot of people think this way.
An unarmed kid (who was misbehaving out at 3 am breaking into cars) got killed by a handgun owner around here last year who seemed a bit eager to use his toy.

2) Target Shooting

im not sure what you’re trying to argue here. are you supporting CCL or saying that we shouldn’t be armed because it’d be pointless due to the time it takes to find and/or assemble your gun?
March 10th, 2011 at 9:19 AM
Absolutely.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:19 AM
I would think the majority of the black market inventory is weapons that have been stolen from legitimate gun shops and/or law abiding private owners, no? Correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m not hardcore anti-gun but I just don’t see a reason why the general public should need access to handguns or assault rifles.

So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o’clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn’t go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head ’round the door, and mentions there’s a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So – we go. And – it’s closed. So there’s me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they’ve got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son… that’s a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

If you’re a young hot coaching prospect at a mid-major, do not take a job with a team that’s a perennial bottom-feeder in a major conference. The chances of success are very low.

…we had to beat them to death with their own shoes….
I’m not arguing anything. I’m just curious as to why you would have a gun for home protection if it takes too long to take out and assemble if someone is invading the home. I have never fired a gun so I don’t know, which is why I asked. If someone invades your home and you have it locked away and taken apart, do you have time to assemble and take the sumbitch down to protect your family?

I agree with this. People are scared of dogs, and if you have a big dog, it makes it that much better.
/just ignore the fact that my dog is a huge pussy
March 10th, 2011 at 9:31 AM
Isn’t that a bit of a vicious cycle though? Criminals have guns because a huge supply exists. Why does the supply exist? Because these weapons are allowed to be sold (with varying degrees of control) the general public. I grant you that criminals do not acquire them directly through legit channels, but they do draw from the same supply through theft/robbery.
I can appreciate the argument that what’s done is done (criminals already have a working inventory of weapons) and that you would only be punishing law-abiding citizens by taking away their ability to purchase ‘protection’ weapons. It just seems like that turns things into a never ending arms race between the bad guys and the good guys.

Re: Snoop from the Wire
The actress has a troubled past, having been convicted at age 14 of second-degree murder. More recently, she refused to testify as a witness at a murder trial and was arrested at her then-Northeast Baltimore home.
Damn. I knew the wire was realistic, but I didn’t think the actors themselves were actually convicted murderers.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
it really doesn’t matter…if a dog over 80 lbs is running at you, even if it just wants to play, it’s kind of intimidating.

Then you need to factor in how expensive the research stage is, and how much more the trials are. And the fact that the patent on a new drug is 20 years from date of filing. When all is said and done, companies have a very narrow window to recoup the costs on that drug.

Please read the article. All of the costs for this drug were shouldered by other companies earlier. This is purely a money-grab. The drug doesn’t cost that much to produce.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
What I saw.
What you saw doesn’t agree with the war room in Toronto, where they likely watched it from multiple angles, in super slo mo while zooming in on the puck. I’m going to have to side with them on this one.

Sorry.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Yep. That’s what they say to me. I excercise just about everyday and I think I’m in pretty decent shape, I just don’t feel like doing a marathon is something I want to pursue so I don’t enjoy those that do acting like it puts them on a higher plane of existence.
March 10th, 2011 at 9:52 AM

Perhaps. I could see putting the cost burden of research on the consumer if they were researching the latest in 3D TV technology. 3D TV’s aren’t necessary in order to have a healthy life. These drugs are needed by people that can’t afford them, I just think the system is just really messed up.

I did read the article. They’re getting a large company to standardize production and have the approval of the March of Dimes and many obstetricians . So they’re charging more because they now have a product in high demand.

March 10th, 2011 at 10:13 AM
this is called pricing. using a cost-plus pricing system leaves money on the table when the product is in high demand. maximizing profits is best done when charging the consumer what the comsumer is willing to pay. it’s an unfortunate catch-22 when it comes to healthcare, but if you remove the ability to be profitable, nobody will participate in developing or selling drugs or healthcare procedures.
March 10th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
You need big, profitable companies (and research universities) to develop cutting edge medicines that help us live longer, healthier. No one in the world does it better than we do here. Though the Koreans and the Japanese might threaten us in the future if we continue with the stem cell restrictions charade.

I’m going to make a quick response to this before heading out for a 4 day weekend.
The article said that the drug is intended for high risk women. I’m not saying some people shouldn’t have children because it’s my judgement. I’m saying that that’s just the shit that nature choose for them.
