Plan on it. I understand after 6 mo. my pistol will be eligible to be legal. (After the classes etc), Looking forward to it.

a "boot in your ass" bump for Alabama!

[DugwayDuke]

"I understand after 6 mo. my pistol will be eligible to be legal."

There is no such thing as an illegal pistol in Alabama. You do need to wait six months to get a CCW permit, but there is no registration requirement. There are no classes or tests.

Most Muslim leaders were quick to voice horror at the Sept. 11 attacks.

I,too must have been sleeping when this happened. I was wide awake however for the "tongue lady" and her ilk dancing and cheering after 9/11. I will reiterate an earlier post; Islam sucks and I dont care what people think of me for saying that.

[Michael2001]

While those appearances have been well received, he said, knowledge of Islam remains "terribly weak."

If he thinks we don't like them now, just wait. The more folk know about that religion the more they despise it.

Where was this reporter after 9/11. He must have seen things no one else did.

How does Bear Bryant end up in every Alabama fan's conversation? He died.

[ExSoldier]

AHHHH, but I knew him when he was alive. In fact, when he fell in his home in 1979 and spent time in a hospital in Northport, Alabama, I was working there as the chief of security. Some idiot phoned in a death threat and I was suddenly posted as his personal bodyguard. He couldn't move from his hospital bed, so it was no big deal.

My pleasure came from some of the brief conversations I held with him late at night, and in watching him and the head nurse do BATTLE over the fact that he was forbidden to smoke...pure oxygen in use you know. I'll bet that was one of the few arguments he ever lost on that subject!

[ExSoldier]

Yeah, I notice that the Dems and the media admitted that for them the issue of "gun control" is a nonstarter in "backward, rural areas..." Yeah, buddy..you go DEMS! INSULT a huge majority of your traditional base...the farmers.

[AUsome Joy]

OK we have a few things in common. We are Alabamians, we are conservatives, Christians, and teachers. I love the military as my husband served in the army after coming out of Auburn ROTC. We can just forget the Alabama-Auburn thing. (I do love Auburn.)

[Dataman]

"...said Ibrahim Hooper...." Who is either a liar or an ignoramous

Probably both. He was a guest on Alan Keyes who, with little effort, wadded him and his disinformation up like a piece of paper and scored 2 points in the trash can.

[TADSLOS]

I suspect Alabamians don't think much of yankee liberal newspaper reporters and editors posing as Georgia southerners either.

[ExSoldier]

Actually, I'm a FLORIDIAN who used to live in Alabama. Stipulating that, I'd agree to the rest. I was commissioned out of the Bama ROTC program. Auburn has a beautiful campus and some very sweet people. And they have a course not offered by Bama that I would have given my eyeteeth to take...even just to audit!

It was a course offered thru the agriculture program in cattle butchering. Taught you all the cuts of meat and how to secure and preserve them. For the final exam they handed you a steer carcass (whole on a pair of sawhorses) and the tools and told you to cut it up. Invaluable tool for a hunter, or anybody interested in long term survival skills.
