This joke is getting a lot of turns...

@Eliphalet R. Moderator The following link provides guidance for creating a "New Members" group as the default when people join the forum. This group is set up without private messages. Then set up automatic promotion to "members" after some minimum post count (many sites use 5, some go as far as 30 content posts for enabling private messages. And finally, publish the policy in the forum rules/FAQs to inform members. The big nuisance would be handling (or not) the potentially hundreds of members here who have never made a post, but I suspect the scam problems come soon after they sign up. https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/478111-limit-private-messages/ It basically stops these nuisances of signups just to send private messages for "a friend who has every single thing everyone is looking for."

Not even mentioned above, but a notary stamp shows an independent party verified identification (authenticates) a signature on a specific document by a certain person at a specific location. It is proof of a signature even if the person who signed is no longer alive.

My eye guy is not signed. Most medical providers are. A key (Tennessee) test is if the office "performs procedures." If so, it must be signed by law. Measuring eyes is not a procedure. One of the places I go for other doc visits is signed, but not per the correct legal requirements. Sometimes not good to be the stinker or become a test case. Even if not properly signed, and arguably even if it is, still (supposedly) need to be told. Only willful refusal is an infraction. And another important point for Tennessee, at this point it is a "gun crime" as compared to simple trespassing. This depends entirely on the state. I'm not sure where the line should be, this particular line (signage) has to consider the right to carry, right of the property owner to exclude, and some power of the government to define sensitive places. I'm not sure the government should define a medical office as sensitive, fully recognize the doctor in charge can exclude. Am also sure Hawaii's latest attempt to mandate speech (as compared to silent historical default) along with Hawaii's legislated colors is not constitutional. I have not done enough research to know where this line was in 1791. Also recognize states in general are allowed to "experiment" with laws to some extent, yet laws regarding having a business or if a yellow traffic light is permissive or restrictive is very different from laws involving any enumerated right. There just should not be much wiggle room on rights. I also have gripes as to vehicle storage laws in different states, if "direct control" means on body, allows "purse" or backpack carry, or a magnetic holder on the dash. And if the glove box is OK or not. Duty to inform, stand your ground, castle doctrine, and does that apply to a vehicle or a hotel room or a tent in the woods. There are so many ways to get tripped up when crossing a border even if the next state does have reciprocity.

Senate Bill 749 modified. Now will ban possession of "LCMs" and the grandfather clause is removed. Misdemeanor, up to a year in jail for each LCM. I would basically get life...

Very nice, not for me. Free bump even though you just got one.

With clear hints Hawaii is going to lose in Wolford (5-4, 6-3, or maybe even 7-2?), it is doubling down with SB3041 (with my bold in the proposed text): https://legiscan.com/HI/text/SB3041/id/3331739 Setting aside red and green being the most commonly confused colors for those who are color-blind, Not setting aside red is danger and green is safe... What if the law required bakers to post if they would make a "coming out" cake? What is the color coding was red for no and green for yes? This is government mandated speech and I find it clearly unconstitutional and also reprehensible. " SECTION 1. The legislature finds that, for the past two hundred years, the State's public has had an expectation of entering private restaurants and places of business without encountering lethal firearms or large knives. However, the United States Supreme Court case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S.Ct. 2111, 2133 (2022) changed this expectation, which has made life more dangerous for the State's residents by allowing lethal firearms and large knives in many places where there was previously no expectation they would be encountered by the public. The legislature believes that to ensure public safety, the public should be given notice whether they might encounter lethal and dangerous weapons in places open to the public. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to: (1) Require businesses or restaurants open to the public to post a color-coded placard indicating whether the business or restaurant allows firearms or large knives to be brought onto the premises; and (2) Require the department of law enforcement to provide businesses and restaurants with free and easily downloadable placards. SECTION 2. Chapter 134, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§134- Placarding; notice of property owner's permission to carry firearms or large knives at businesses or restaurants open to the public. (a) Any business or restaurant open to the public shall post a color-coded placard indicating whether the business or restaurant allows firearms or large knives to be brought onto the premises. The placard shall be posted in a location clearly visible to the general public and patrons entering the business or restaurant. (b) The placard shall not be defaced, marred, camouflaged, hidden, or removed. It shall be unlawful to operate a business or restaurant unless the placard is posted in accordance with this section. (c) By January 1, 2027, the department of law enforcement shall provide businesses and restaurants with free and easily downloadable placards. The placards shall be color-coded as follows: (1) A green placard shall indicate that the business or restaurant does not allow firearms or large knives to be brought onto the premises; (2) A yellow placard shall indicate that the business or restaurant allows either firearms or large knives to be brought onto the premises, but not both; and (3) A red placard shall indicate that the business or restaurant allows firearms and large knives to be brought onto the premises. (d) For the purposes of this section: "Business" has the same meaning as defined in section 328J‑1. "Large knife" means a knife with a blade more than inches in length. "Open to the public" means enclosed or partially enclosed areas to which the public is invited or permitted and areas within any building available for use by or accessible to the general public during the normal course of business conducted therein by private entities, including educational facilities, financial institutions, health care facilities, hotel and motel lobbies, lanais, laundromats, reception areas, restaurants, retail food production and marketing establishments, retail service establishments, retail stores, shopping malls, sports arenas, theaters, and waiting rooms, but does not include a private residence unless it is used as a child care, adult day care, or health care facility. "Restaurant" has the same meaning as defined in section 328J-1." SECTION 3. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date. SECTION 4. If any provision of this Act, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of the Act that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Act are severable. SECTION 5. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 6. This Act shall take effect on January 1, 2027. "

Very true. Reuters and AP feeds used to be factual, "who, what, when, where, why, and how" in order of importance (traditional journalism devoid of any bias). Today, they choose to apply labels like "victim" and "assailant" to parties. This is done explicitly in some case, and is implied in other cases. The entire "alleged" verbiage has to do with international law, an informed reader should simply recognize it as such. The labels are not facts, they are (pre) judgements and belong in what used to be editorial content. Examples would be (assuming the second example is true): The officer defended himself against and arrested the rioter (bias) The officer arrested the protestor after a struggle (factual) The officer assaulted and arrested the peaceful protestor (bias) Defended, assaulted, rioter, and peaceful are opinions not related to a struggle or an arrest.

I'll be picking up a Zastava M57 pistol in a few days. Thinking with my Chinese Norinco AK-47 (7.62X39), Russian Saiga (12 GA), and Serbian handgun (7.62 X 25), I could shoot a "commie" 3-gun. Maybe not irresponsible, maybe not wise, but sounds like an experience. Do need to get out to Oak Ridge this spring with my cowboy guns. Miss seeing the Outlaws.

I'm not a lawyer, I'm an engineer. This means I read law as an engineer. Also means I stay at Residence Inn, not Howard Johnsons. Somehow this is considered a significant distinction. In my search, I did find variations not just by state but by context. The definitions of "family" vary as to if it is abuse law, domestic violence law. estate law, in some cases marriage law. For instance, an adopted sibling can not marry a brother or sister because adoption makes them too close, but first or second cousin might be relaxed (I forget which states had a difference). Strangely, travel to and marriage in another state would require the prohibiting state to recognize the marriage.

I had looked up a few things on the question earlier, but then did other things. "In law" looks to go by the dictionary definition, a relative by marriage. "Family" has legal definitions in actual laws and uses the term inclusively without defining it. Same for brother, sister, father, mother, ... Some laws such as adoption do state an adopted individual is treated the same under the law as a blood relative, which then prohibits sibling marriage and such. Adoption law also applies to settlement of an intestate estate.

Jelly Roll is an example for turning one's life around, and I do think he is legit. He is also involved in outreach, so he will not get boo-ed off the stage. An example: https://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2022/11/02/nashville-rapper-jelly-roll-concert-charity-non-profit-tn/69599691007/ " Jason "Jelly Roll" DeFord wants to give back to the city that raised him. On Wednesday [in 2022], the genre-bending artist and songwriter committed roughly $250,000 to programs aiding incarcerated and underserved youth in Nashville. Partnering with local mentoring non-profit Impact Youth Outreach, the donation plans to fund a recording studio inside Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center — where DeFord, an Antioch native, once served a criminal sentence before chasing his music-making dreams as Jelly Roll. " He is also trying to get his gun rights restored, and has made good progress towards this personal goal. He still needs to petition the federal government, he does have a recent pardon from Governor Bill Lee.

Replica?

Only posting the link, not the video. I counted at least 8 forum violations just from his "effs." The patented (mouse) trap gun is banned under the dangerous and unusual paradigm but Brandon has the needed licensing to build it legally. He did. I thought those interested in black powder might find it instructive. Not quite a Team SASS subject nor for the regular SASS forum, so here it is in the saloon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZJ4LSd3Y-s&list=WL&index=2
