His first choice for username was "TimCooksTastyBottom" but Apple's board of directors didn't think that was an appropriate Slashdot username for their CEO, so they settled on "macs4all"..
They have the usual provision forbidding drinking while carrying of course.
So you can carry in a bar in these states as long as you don't drink? Sort of like a designated shooter? That doesn't sound right. How about "designated gunman"?
It's not the absence of gun laws that bother me so much as a culture that has such an obsession with guns that we're even having this discussion. And I say that as a gun owner for more than 40 years, and someone who's qualified (in the past) as both a Marksman and a Sharpshooter. But I guess that makes me an old man who grew up in the US before there was an individual constitutional right to own guns (prior to the pro-active NRA era, which started with the Reagan Administration and culminated in the Heller decision).
So which is it? Either there were or were not ethnic enclaves in Europe? Why is it a big deal now that those people are muslim?
I seem to recall a certain ethnic enclave in Ireland that caused more death and destruction than any of the muslim groups. And those were 100% white Christians.
In Texas, you're only prohibited from carrying a gun into an establishment that makes at least 51% of its sales on liquor. So, if you're a bar and you serve food, fucking yee-haw.
I don't know about Florida, but state laws in the US typically prohibit possession of guns wherever alcohol is served, so the perp probably thought he was attacking a soft target.
In Florida, you can buy guns at the drive-thru liquor stores. But they've got a 10-second waiting period on AR-15s with high capacity mags.
BTW, Patrick's tweet was scheduled days in advance, as most professional accounts are. He apparently posts a random Bible quote on Sundays normally, and this one was an unlucky one.
That is a lot of happy horseshit. Most "professional" accounts owned by politicians are not "scheduled days in advance".
If you go, right now, and read Lt Gov Patrick's Twitter timeline, you'll see he's posted in real time on breaking news and political stories. His tweets are not "scheduled days in advance" and the staffer who said that is just trying to blow smoke up your ass and protect her boss from embarrassment.
So basically, like every other corporate management fad since WWII. Got it.
I'm still old enough to remember when managers were reading ancient Chinese texts like the Art of War or Tao te ching (or rather, were reading books written by hucksters who claimed to have read the Art of War or the Tao te ching) and brought their newly-minted Oriental WisdomTM to their workplaces.
God, it sucks to have to work at a corporation for a living.
Can someone tell me how "agile" went from being an adjective to a noun? I accept that I am behind the curve, but why didn't I get the memo?
Is "agile" a management approach, an IDE or simply a word that's made the evolutionary leap from adjective to noun all on its own, like "chubby"? I feel so lost when a term is used without any explanation in the summary. Remember, not all nerds are corporate software developers, thank god.

Man, you are going to feel so stupid.

I think you may be in the minority in that respect, but I salute you.
I'm not sure I buy that. I don't see how you get from FOPA to a complete prohibition, except on machine guns.

Are there any states that allow guns in drinking establishments? If Texas doesn't, I can't imagine there are any/many that do.
Unless you are Basque, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc etc.
And it's generally called "The European Union" now. "Countries" is so last century.

I seem to recall a certain ethnic enclave in Ireland that caused more death and destruction than any of the muslim groups. And those were 100% white Christians.
Europe had "significant ethnic enclaves" when Americans were still hunting buffalo and building burial mounds.
If it happens to trained police officers, do you really believe it doesn't happen with ordinary gun "enthusiasts" who are trying to be heroes?

They're as Christian as you.
There were 1/4 as many murders in Chicago this weekend as in Orlando.
You racist fuck.
I was kidding about the 10-second waiting period on AR-15s. There is no waiting period on AR-15s.

Hmm.

That's exactly what happened, though.
She is absolutely a human being. A HBILF, in fact.
According to the Lt. Governor of Texas, so has God.

Yeah, I guess it's too early for a Trump rally.
This story about DeRay Mckensson has been on Slashdot for over half an hour on a Sunday morning and there still aren't any blatantly racist posts.
They must all be in church or a Trump rally.
