in a sub-thread about the best way to insulate his assault rifle from water while he was taking a shower, and still be able to get at it in a second's notice, ready for bullet-spraying action. Any number of Gungeoneers - some of them still posting on DU3 - went into that sub-thread and gave him serious advice on just how to do that, using ponchos adapted for the purpose, rain-proof camping sheet covers cut and draped over the piece at just the right angles, use of water-tight plastic "go-to boxes," etc., etc.
One even chimed in that he'd had the same problem - was so in dread of some "goblin" or "bad guy" breaking in while he was showering that he just had to have his 12 gauge at his side at all times, including in the shower - and he'd come up with a novel solution: cut the arm off an over-sized rain slicker, seal the muzzle end of the garment shut with roofing expoy, leaving the breech end of the apparatus open for quick trigger access in the event of a Norman Bates incident.
When I posted about this recently on DU3, just as an aside, several of our "pro gun progressives"* insisted that the sub-thread was all satire, meant to mock us "anti's," and that not one poster in it was serious about the subject matter that was under discussion. Some even suggested that the poster himself was an "anti" posting as a Gunny in order to embarrass our poor, put-upon "pro gun progressives."*
That's all horseshit, of course: every single poster in that sub-thread was as serious as the day was long at the time, and several got quite irritated at the justified mocking of them by liberal and progressive DU'ers for it in that very thread.
In any event, is there anywhere the "RKBA" crowd doesn't think it has some kind of "right" to carry? Even private property? Day cares? Elementary schools? Hospitals? Simply unreal.

into the shower is just a little bit out there? A bit...I don't know, paranoid? Or something like that? 
so the GA hasn't been able to repeat their black-specific prohibitions of 1715 (prohibiting all blacks, slave and free, from carrying guns without a permission slip from their "master"
or 1831 (requiring free blacks to obtain a carry permit, in response to the Nat Turner rebellion), so they've had to create "discretionary" laws or laws regarding "apprehended danger" that can be selectively enforced against blacks, such as the 1904 ban on carry except "as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger. The present may-issue permitting system was enacted in 1972 in response to racial fears and violence in 1968, and the 1988 economic ban on affordable handguns was analogous to Tennessee's 1879 law limiting handgun ownership to only the expensive models already owned in huge numbers by the Ku Klux Klan.
... for a political bumper sticker they didn't like.
Hell yeah, lets give corporations more control, as long as its anti gun it's just fine ... all of a sudden. 
It always amazes me what pretzels gun grabbers will twist themselves into to struggle to score cheap points.
Now they are on the Corporatists side, last month they was loving the Bush/Cheney terror watch list ... as long as it was used to ban gun sales.
Nice conditional ethics at work. No wonder the NRA has no problem winning in court wit this brain trust.
He used to tell a lot of "Old Henry" stories. At the time I thought he was BSing me.
But I heard the same stories from others too.
Fired if you drove anything but a Ford into a Ford factory parking lot. Fired if he thought you voted for the wrong man. Fired if he saw you going in or coming out of a bar he considered "bad".
Once he said he actually saw Henry kick a stool out from under a guy sitting eating an apple next to the assembly line, cuss him out and fire him for loafing. Turned out it was a fire safety inspector who worked for the city of Dearborn who was on his lunch break. That cost Henry a lot of money.
But yeah, we should go back to those good old days, as long as they invade your privacy to control guns it's worth it.
