But anyway, why do you ask?

Because of what Jim said:

Yes and no. They were in uniform. They were at my place. Wasn't much time for them to get off work, bring beer (I was underaged) and change out of their uniform.

I just had this vision of uniformed police officers sitting at a bar throwing back cold ones.

That would go quite far on all the major networks around here.

Their careers on the other hand, wouldn’t make it beyond the front doors of the station house the next morning.

As for your hanging out with cops who hang out drinking with minors...
I wont touch that one. I’ve been to WI enough to say that doesn’t surprise me at all.

Clearly, you're unable to understand and respond to a simple question. There was no attempt at controlling your response.

Either you are OK with guests drinking alcohol at an event sponsored by you...........say a wedding..........and also carrying weapons............or you're not OK.

No trap...........no bait..........nothing more than a very simple question.

The fact that you refuse to answer the question and spew ill-conceived rhetoric in response tells the forum all that they need to know about you.

Also, you should look up the definition of disingenuous as you clearly don't understand the word.

Clearly, asking for a "yes or no answer", and specifically stating you want to hear nothing else, conflicts with the above. Clearly, you have a serious comprehension problem - even with your own statements.

I'm not offended in the least when my grammar and/or English usage is corrected. Unfortunately, such expertise seems to be lacking in your debate toolbox - in addition to your comprehension problems.

Is it not obvious to you, that I was suggesting your "yes/no trap" was "lacking in frankness, candor, or sincerity"? Or, "giving a false appearance of simple frankness" ?

Sheesh...if you're going to resort to the lowest form of debate tactic - gramnmar correction - at least get it right.

It was a simple question and it only needed a yes or no answer. Sorry if you're unable to provide that.

Glad you finally looked it up............but, my question was perfectly frank and with full candor and sincerity.

I resorted to nothing..........simply noted your continued inability to provide a straight answer to a simple question.

I'm done with you..........the forum knows your complete lack of sincerity and honesty, and your ongoing rhetoric is truly annoying.

I'm out of the debate, but I have to point out how silly this is. If you asked me, "How do you feel about guns?" and I said, "Orange" are you controlling my answer by expecting it to be appropriate to the question?

i think they were whoopin' and hollerin' and praisin' the federal government up and down.

but a little talk about state run health care and the guns come out? i don't get it!

It's a yes or no answer and I'm not at all interested in your rhetoric. It's your wedding and your guest list.
No, my friends who carry put their guns away in a safe location before any amount of alcohol is consumed. (Lets say more than a beer with dinner) Alcohol slows down your motor functions and increases the chances of you making a mistake.

As for the main topic, these guys need to stop doing this. All it takes is one moron to shoot someone and we have a bunch of restrictive legislation coming down on our heads. I want to buy a FN Fal, Sig pistol, and HKMR762 next year so I don't want to see that. They are as bad as the idiots that are buying up all the ammo at these crazy prices driving them up even higher. Morons screw up and all responsible gun owners have to suffer.

Anyone who would carry a gun to a political event is looking for trouble. Besides, the quickest way to have full Obama care would be as a tribute to a martyred President--just like JFK's legacy legislation. I know rational thought is not what carrying a gun in public is all about, but if they would rationally consider it, they would realize that only bad things can result. Leave the guns at home.
