    Hell, I wasn't even arrested. I was served with a summons to appear at trial, and mailed a letter to report to the courthouse for fingerprinting about a week before the trial.

    And I know nobody really cares, but just in case anyone wondered, I was charged with Trespassing in the 3rd Degree when I went back to my old high school to get my transcript while I was back home visiting, the new vice principal found me chatting with the office staff and told me to come back after the school day ended if I wanted to be in the building.

    Fair enough, I went back about 3PM. I get in the door and walk toward the office and he comes barreling out screaming "IF YOU DON'T GET OFF THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW I'M CALLING THE POLICE!" so I sighed, turned around, and told him "I'll just fucking call and have it mailed then." and turned and left.

    About two hours later, back at my grandparents' house, there was a knock at the door, and there was a police officer (Sheriff's deputy, I think, actually) with a summons for me.

    To this day I still have no clue what the hell I did wrong, or why he was so angry about me being there. One of my friends who was two years behind me was still there so I asked her to find out, and all he did was flip out on her when she asked.

    Fucking small towns.

    People kill people. Governments are made of people. Therefore it can be concluded that governments kill people.

    Actually, people often complain about all of those as well, especially "pistol permits" as you've put it, given than the Second Amendment guarantees the RIGHT to bear arms, not the right to get permission from the government, provided you can provide them with a good enough reason, then pay them and subject yourself to intense scrutiny, and then MAYBE get the right to bear arms in the end.

    I had to do the same for my Child Abuse/SP background check for my job in security here in PA.

    You guys are lucky bastards. I had a molar removed from both sides, top and bottom, AND my wisdom teeth, to correct a "Holy shit, my teeth are jamming against each other and turning funny directions" issue when I was young.

    It sucks being a tall fat guy with a moderately large head, and a short jaw.

    I'm in college right now. My dad makes about $27k a year supporting his wife and my brother. He makes just enough that I don't get shit from the government via FAFSA. I'm working as many hours as I can pick up in a worker-saturated college town that exists around the college, and only going to school at about 3/4 time.

    Where is my advantage again?

    Not quite on the same thread, my car died on me on the way to work Saturday, right in front of a State Trooper.

    Instead of finding out if I was okay when I didn't immediately move from the stop light when it turned green, he laid on his horn and pulled around me angrily and nearly spun his tires going around me glaring at me.

    Then when I pushed it off the road into a parking spot (Watched by another trooper) and went home for our other car to jump start it (Alternator died on me, didn't take long to diagnose on the side of the road.) and drove it home, I came back to a parking ticket on the car I used to jump it when I came back for it ten minutes later (Walking, in 3* weather both to get the other car, and to get back to the first car, mind you.)
