What do bankruptcy lawyers and undertakers have in common? Your bad news is their good news. So, if the news from bankruptcy court is bad for bankruptcy lawyers, it's good news for you.
And the news continues to be bad for bankruptcy lawyers in Oklahoma. Statewide, bankruptcies are down significantly, a trend that is 2 years old. Bankruptcy filings in Oklahoma in 2010 totaled 14,980, then fell in 2011 to 13,119. While the final numbers for 2012 are not in yet, based on the data through the end of November, it looks like the number of new bankruptcy filings in Oklahoma for 2012 will be well under 12,000 – down more than 10 percent from 2011. Virtually all of those bankruptcies are consumer cases, which is also good news for the business reader.
No one reading this would be surprised by any news that Oklahoma's economy is outperforming national averages. Our unemployment rate is among the 10 lowest in the country. Personal income growth is in the top 20. Despite some bumps, the energy industry is still driving Oklahoma's economy.
Secure in the preconceived notion that our economy is better than in most other states, I was surprised to see that Oklahoma's bankruptcy numbers from 2010 to the present are in line with the national trend. Nationwide, filings fell from 1,593,097 in 2010 to 1,410,653 in 2011, and are on track to go below 1,265,000 in 2012 – down more than 10 percent both years. Since the data didn't fit with my hypothesis, I went a little further back in history to see if there was anything to be learned.
While national bankruptcy filings are back in line with historical figures from before congressional reform of the Bankruptcy Code in 2005 that tightened eligibility for consumer bankruptcy, in Oklahoma the number of bankruptcy filings in 2012 will be less than one half of the average for the four years prior to 2005.
Making it harder to file bankruptcy didn't affect national numbers when the Great Recession hit. But in a state like Oklahoma that managed to avoid the worst of the recession, bankruptcy filings have been reduced significantly. Nothing beats a strong economy when it comes to keeping bankruptcy lawyers out of work.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. "
Liliana - Barcelona, Spain - Mar 22, 2010
"The best customer service, good selection of products, good quality and freshness, deliveries on time... What else do we need? My boyfriend lives in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and he were very surprised and pleased when he recieved the gift, a beautiful basket filled with fresh fruits and champagne :-) Thanks Gift Baskets Overseas!"
Marcia F. - Dominican Republic - Jun 19, 2010
"I have used Gift Baskets Overseas twice and both times I am very impressed with the service. The hampers arrived so quickly (as I was late in ordering) and on the day of the celebration. The presentation and the card were excellent! Both the recipients and myself are very satisfied and happy. Definitely will recommend to friends and family. Thank you for excellent service."
Tris Tanumihardjo - Victoria, Australia - Aug 23, 2012
"The service is simply excellent! I confess that I initially had several fears. But considering the positive reviews I decided to take the risk. I ordered a basket for Valentine's and it was delivered today to my husband who is working in Honduras (we're from Argentina). And he just called me very excited because he entered his room and found the gift. They delivered my gift promptly, right on time. And my husband said the gift was very cute. Also during these days their customer service constantly kept in touch with me to arrange the details. I recommend them without any hesitation."

This article is a comment on Jeremy Walton's piece on the NAG blog entitled Calling routines from the NAG Fortran and C libraries from within LabVIEW.
Jeremy's article provides an excellent introduction into calling the NAG Fortran and C libraries from within LabVIEW. From my own experiences on using these libraries from LabVIEW I would like to add the following comments and hints.
For me, a key difference between the two libraries is the way in which they handle fail conditions. All NAG routines that have error exits provide an argument —ifail in the case of Fortran and fail for C — which allow for the handling of any warning messages should an error occur. In the case of Fortran library calls the parameter ifail can have the value -1, 0 or 1 on entry. If ifail is set to 0 then execution of the program will terminate if the routine detects an error — the so called "hard fail option". To select a soft fail option ifail is set to -1 or 1 on calling the routine; upon detecting an error, an error number is passed to the output of ifail and the execution of program continues normally. If ifail was set to -1 on input then an error message is printed on stderr (noisy exit), otherwise a silent exit is performed.
Consider the special function S11ACF which evaluates the inverse hyperbolic cosine, arccosh(x), where x>1. In our LabVIEW code we would like to detect the existence of an error and set the output to NaN (not a number), but allow the program to continue to execute unhindered.
In the case of the C library, is either an integer value 0 for the default error handler (hard fail, noisy exit) or the pointer to a C structure which includes a pointer to a custom error handler. This latter option is non-trivial from LabVIEW and so I have a strong preference towards using the Fortran library.
For more details of Error Handling and the fail Argument with C function calls, see here, and for the Fortran functions here.
There are two major differences in the approaches to data storage between C and Fortran which must be taken into consideration when call the NAG routines from LabVIEW. Both C and LabVIEW employ null terminated strings and arrays which are zero based and column major order — Fortran has one based arrays of major row order.
When passing strings to and from Fortran routines, the string parameter is followed by a variable which holds the string length as an I32 integer. The Call Library Function passes the string as aC String Pointer and its length as a Pointer to Value to the dll. When calling the function from LabVIEW the string must be initialized with a string of the correct length, for example nagf_time_date_array_string;
When passing 2D arrays to and from Fortran routines it will be necessary to transpose the array before and after the DLL call; this can be achieved using the LabVIEW Transpose 2D Array.vi
In the Call Function Library (CLF) node it is possible to set Name Format>>Names through the right-click context menu which make the LabVIEW much more readable.
Create clusters (LabVIEW equivalent to structures) of similar input/output terminal, this makes the subVI's connector plane much more manageable.
For NAG routines that are thread safe there are considerable advantages to selecting Run in any thread as opposed to the default Run in UI thread. Below are the results of a timing test run on my laptop (Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz).
|UI thread
|5.3 s
|any thread
|4.2 s
|any thread — parallel N-loop
|2.5 s
More information on the thread safety of the fourtan routines can be found on the NAG website. The NAG C Library is thread safe by design, however please check the Thread Safety section of the essential guide before continuing.
Compiling LabVIEW code (build executable) containing NAG libraries is very straightforward — no special settings are required.

text: The U.S. needs to rethink our overall nuclear strategy. Our current strategy is still based on fighting a nuclear war with Russia. We should refocus it, and stop spending billions on an obsolete U.S. nuclear arsenal and move at least part of those funds to preventing ISIS or any other group from getting their hands on radioactive materials. It's time to stop fighting Soviets and shift our funds to fighting the terrorists that truly threaten us. The risk of ISIS getting their hands on nuclear or radiological weapons is small, but it is not zero. And that is too big of a gamble to take when American lives are on the line.

There's a rumor that my dick is1 inch that's going around.
My dick is one inch; one inch from the ground.
Some people have found out and they say I've been blessed.
But every time that I wear shorts, I am placed undet arrest.
If I was shorter, my wiener would touch the dirt.
I step on it from time to time and it really hurts.
Women like big dicks but not dicks like mine because it's way too long.
Having a big dick isn't all that it's cracked up to be and I'm not wrong.

The former party chairman told the Bruges Group that it was time for his 'friends' in the Tory Party to make it clear that since Margaret Thatcher's Bruges speech in 1988, the 'Community had been set on a path to disaster'.
His speech was made in London as Kenneth Clarke, the Chancellor, called in Paris for the rest of Europe to follow Britain's example by deregulating its labour market - a move which he said lay behind the 250,000 fall in unemployment during 1993.
The aggressive denunciation by Lord Tebbit of the EU for being over-regulated, ineffective as an instrument of foreign policy and still bristling with trade barriers, was coupled with a call for the outright abolition of the Common Agricultural Policy.
Lord Tebbit's Thatcherite line was predictable, but its timing underlines the conflicting cross-currents within the party which Douglas Hurd, the Foreign Secretary, is having to tackle as chairman of the small group drawing up the manifesto for the European elections.

"You look like the back end of a bus," growls Alfred Hitchcock (Toby Jones) to his long-suffering PA (Penelope Wilton) in this compelling portrait of the director's sadistic relationship with his leading lady, Tippi Hedren (Sienna Miller), on The Birds and Marnie.
Hitch "discovers" the unknown fashion model and duly flatters, grooms, gropes and persecutes Hedren until she finally escapes his penetrative gaze. Miller is very winning as the steely blonde, but it's Jones who is outstanding, fully embodying Britain's finest auteur.Reuse content

Authentic Fire is Dr. Michael Brown's book-length response to John MacArthur's Strange Fire conference. Because of the importance of this debate, TheCripplegate is using every Thursday to respond chapter-by-chapter to Authentic Fire. You can find an overview of this debate, as well as links to the reviews for each chapter here.
For those who haven't been following it all, in the last six months or so Dr. Michael Brown has emerged as one of the more outspoken voices critiquing the Strange Fire conference that occurred this past October. He has written a number of articles and has gained a fair amount of recognition as one of the leading "level-headed" Charismatics. You can find a little recap of what happened before the Strange Fire conference here as well as check out this and this and this, and this and this, just to get a small glimpse of Dr. Brown's comments and activities. A whole lot more has been occurring, but documenting it all would mean writing a rather encyclopedic post. More than a few people have spoken up (including James White, Justin Peters, Tony Miano, and more) about what's going on with Michael Brown's recent activities, and to sum it up in two pictures…
How Michael Brown sees his cards…
How Dr. Michael Brown's critics see his cards…
Now discussing Michael Brown's recent activities isn't really the point of this series, but they do set an important context for this series. Starting today, Fred Butler and I are going to share our review and rebuttal of all 10 chapters of Authentic Fire, Dr. Michael Brown's response to the Strange Fire conference and book (though, this will be an edited series, mostly meaning that my colossally-rambling contributions will be shortened significantly). Feel free to check out Fred's outline of the book as we head into the danger zone.
Keeping with the Top Gun theme and giving a sneak preview of our review, let's just say that Authentic Fire flies into the jet wash and you know the rest.
One other thing before we get going.
Inevitably, people will attempt to circumvent serious criticism by suggesting that Fred and I are "judging motives" in our reviewing Authentic Fire.
Judging motives isn't on our "to do" list at all. See?
Not there at all.
The whole "you're wrong because you're unloving" argument also is a dodge, but it will come nonetheless.
I'm just sayin' in advance.
I don't want to hurt Michael Brown's feelings and I don't have a clue whether or not something will get his goat or just be ignored/dismissed. I don't pretend to know. Fred and I will do our best to stick to addressing the arguments and not the arguers, since defeating an author doesn't actually defeat an argument. We'll do our best to keep the atmosphere fairly laid back and respectful, knowing full well that one man's "respect" is another man's "blatant mocking".
Sound good?
Now on to Authentic Fire!
To make things clear, I'm going to utilize pictures to show who's talking. To represent Michael Brown's comments/my attempts at summarizing his comments, I'll use this picture:
I'll do my best to not throw any personal commentary into the summary section of the reviews.
On the other hand, instead of using my own picture I've decided to stack the deck a little against myself and cultivate subliminal negative feelings in my readers. To represent my comments, I'll stick with the Top Gun theme and use this picture of Slider for obvious reasons:
Let's look at the Preface!
Preface Summary
The book opens with some fairly predictable endorsements (Sam Storms, Frank Viola, Adrian Warnock, etc.) and then gets into the actual preface. The preface starts with the expected "I like John", "I'm not mad", "I'm not biased" disclaimers, and a little talk about how Dr. Brown is writing for the average Joe (or Jason; the Facebook commenter he quotes in the preface). Dr. Brown explains that he has written to build up, no tear down, and gives some brief history to the whole controversy which boils down to Michael Brown becoming a main voice speaking out against Strange Fire and then being clearly directed by the Lord to write the book. In the preface Dr. Brown also defines "charismatics" as "all professing Christians who believe in the ongoing manifestation of the New Testament charismatic gifts (such as prophecy, tongues, and healing), although not all believe in contemporary apostles and prophets" (Kindle locations 145-146 – I don't have a paper copy…). He also explains that he's decided to use the original language names for "James" and "Jude" (Jacob and Judah), and then closes off.
Preface Comments
1. The first thing I thought when I saw the endorsements was "Where are all the famous charismatics?" It was the same Brown, Storms, Keener, Viola, Warnock back scratching circle. I just finished reading Frank Viola's book (but stopped my review at chapter 4) and Brown, Storms, Keener, and Warnock endorsed his book too! If the level-headed crowd are representative of the mainstream, why don't any well-known and mainstream charismatics endorse the book? Where were Dr. Brown's well-known ministry acquaintances? Che Ahn? Cindy Jacobs? Mike Bickle? Bill Johnson? Reinhard Bonnke? Oh yeah. 4 out of 5 of those are in the New Apostolic Reformation. Why didn't Mark Driscoll endorse the book? John Piper? CJ Mahaney? Gordon Fee? The endorsements are fairly interesting, no doubt.
2. Dr. Brown's claims to have no bias on the issue of the Charismatic movement are rather hard to swallow for obvious reasons like this and this and this (especially around 6:30); he was building bridges with false teachers long before Benny Hinn. His bias is pretty obvious to all, as is mine.
3. It's worth noting that in his review, Michael Brown uses a broader definition of "charismatic" than is used in Strange Fire (As far as I can make out, Brown apparently includes continuationists [more or less "reformed charismatics] where as MacArthur does not). It's just worth pointing out that there will be some confusion with apples and oranges coming up.
4. The original language stuff about "James" was somewhat confusing, and seemed like a needless distraction/introduction of a hobby horse.
In the book he links to an article on Charisma where he basically goes off on how we don't use the proper biblical names for one person in the Bible: James (James is actually "Jacob"). He paints it as some sort of subtle anti-semitism or shame about the Hebrew roots of Christianity, and calls for it to end. In the article he writes
"I say it is high time for Bible translators, seminary and ministry school professors, pastors, teachers and all believers, to expunge "James" from our Bibles (I'm not talking about King James) and go back to what the original Greek text says: Jacob. It might just start a revolution in our churches, a revolution of truth, along with a reconnection to the Jewish roots of our faith. Will you join me in recovering the letter of Jacob?"
A "revolution of truth" will start once we change the name of one of the books of the New Testament?
Forgive me for being underwhelmed by this little conspiracy…and I'd dare suggest that Dr. Brown is making a mountain out of a mole hill. "James" is what you get after "Iakobos" passes through Latin and then French/Spanish, finally ending up in English. "James" and "Jacob" are both legitimate derivatives from "Iakobos". No real mystery and no shame regarding the Hebrew roots of our Christian faith.
And that's the preface!
Tune in next time when I walk through Chapter 1!
I've got one thing left to do.

10 Thought Leaders Share Thoughts on Curating Content
News Edge was the first, real serious aggregator of news in the corporate, financial and government spaces. So news syndication, news aggregation has been going on literally for decades. It's an aggregation of airline and hotel feeds that then get aggregated to create content. You can't do that through aggregating the thoughts and words and ideas of others.
We Interrupt This Lifecast: Syndication Overload (Part 2)
This week, however, I want to talk about those who aggregate content from all over the web and syndicate it through their Twitter streams. I see no problem with people using a service like Twitterfeed to syndicate posts from their blog (as long as it is a supplement and not the only way they are using Twitter), but I have unfollowed several people recently who did nothing but fill my screen with not only THEIR blog posts, but posts from a dozen or so other blogs and/or news sites they read, comments theyve made in other places, their Foursquare check-ins, et cetera, et cetera.

These procedures can be manual or computer-based and enable the manager to listen, aggregate, publish, and manage multiple social media channels from one tool. The system allows the manager to see an aggregated view of what's happening (from views to comments) and may offer some form of analytics and conversion metrics. really love what I do, I hope it shows.

Category:Theodore Roosevelt Island
From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
English: Theodore Roosevelt Island is an island in the Potomac River opposite Georgetown, Washington, D.C. and across the city of Rosslyn, Virginia. It is separated from Georgetown by Georgetown Channel; the channel between the island and the Virginia shoe is known as the Little River. Before it was bought in 1931 by Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Association, the island was known as Mason's Island and used for farming. The association hired Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., a landscape architect, in 1932 to transform a 90-acre island into a natural primeval forest preserve with three ecological zones (upland forest, swamp, and tidal marsh) and 2.5 miles of trails as a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt's conservationism and love of nature. 35,736 native hardwood trees (including elm, oak, beech, maple, locust, and tulip poplars), shrubs, ferns, and various small plants were planted on the island.[1] In 1963-1967, a formal memorial to the 26th President of the United States was built on the northern part of the island.

Marlins drop third straight after 7-1 loss to Tobs
The Marlins managed only one run against Wilson on Monday, as the surging Tobs handed Morehead City their third straight loss with a 7-1 victory at Fleming Stadium.
Right-hander Brett Valentine, making his first start for the Marlins, allowed three runs in the first inning on four hits, and was hurt by an error from Chase Simmons—one of four Marlins' errors on the night.
"It's not just the errors, there were [a bunch of] plays that weren't made," said head coach Sam Carel. "When you want to play winning baseball you cannot leave the amount of plays on the field that we have."
Those three runs proved to be more than enough to topple a struggling Marlins' ballclub. Wilson added insurance in the fourth on an RBI double from Drew Cole, and tacked on three more in the sixth off Jordan Knutson—all of which were unearned.
Knutson has now allowed nine runs in his last three outings, and not a single one of them has been earned.
Whitman Barnes and Matt Tindall both threw scoreless innings in relief for Morehead City, continuing their impressive work from the bullpen. Barnes now has a 1.80 ERA in his 15 innings of relief this season and has allowed just seven hits while striking out 21 batters. Tindall is working on a 9.2 inning scoreless streak—the second longest for any Marlins reliever this season—and in his last 12.1 innings has allowed just one run and has struck out 16.
The Marlins' offense was stymied by starter Ryan Minteer, who worked eight strong innings, allowed just five hits, struck out three and did not walk a batter. The only run the Marlins scored off Minteer was in the fourth, when he allowed three straight singles with two outs, culminating with an RBI base hit from Jacob Bruce.
"He was good. He got strike one and his secondary stuff was really on tonight," Carel said. "You just have to tip the cap to him."
Bruce finished 2-for-4 on the night with an RBI, Alex Torres was 2-for-4 with a run, and Dalton Britt, Matt Simmons and Chastin Radford all hit one hit apiece. All of Morehead City's hits in the game were singles.
With the loss, Morehead City has now dropped three straight after a season-high five-game winning streak. They will have an off day Tuesday before starting a stretch of six games in four days, beginning with a road game against Fayetteville on Wednesday at J.P. Riddle Stadium at 7:05 p.m.The Coastal Plain League is the nation's hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its 18th season in 2014, the CPL features 14 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats.

Posted on 10/09/2005 9:09:28 AM PDT by RightDemocrat
TALLAHASSEE -- A rare and spectacular showdown may be coming in Florida's Republican Party: Big Business vs. Big Guns. And the stakes couldn't be higher. To critics, it's about the safety of workplaces, including hospitals and churches, throughout the Sunshine State. To supporters, it's about the safety of employees who travel to and from those workplaces.
The dust-up is over the "guns-at-work" bill, which the National Rifle Association began pushing last month in Tallahassee to force all Florida businesses to allow firearms in the vehicles of any employee or visitor. Companies could keep policies banning guns from their buildings themselves but could no longer apply those policies to their parking lots.
Many businesses are either wary of or leaning against the proposal, including heavy-hitters such as Disney and local giants such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield, CSX and Baptist Health System.
But the NRA is insistent. The group, which has donated nearly $1 million in Florida over the past decade, mostly to Republicans, is led in Tallahassee by former national President Marion Hammer. Hammer said the rights of gun owners should be intact in their vehicles, and the proposed law already gives businesses immunity from liability lawsuits in cases of workplace shootings.
"Your home is a slam dunk, but bridging that into the private property of an organization doesn't hold," said Mike Hightower, chairman of the Duval County Republican Party and lobbyist for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida. "I don't think people are going to want to cross that line."
In a telling sign of wariness, neither Gov. Jeb Bush, Senate President Tom Lee nor House Speaker Allan Bense are taking positions on the bill yet.
(Excerpt) Read more at jacksonville.com ...
"The question remains, why do you think you need the power to keep me from having a gun in my car?"
I really don't need the power to keep you from having a gun in your car, I even want you to have one there. I just want the power to keep cars containg guns (or anything else) off my own property, if I so choose. If I want to keep cars containing little old ladies for Kerry (which, unfortunately are legal) off my property, I want that right too, in fact it seems more reasonable than keeping cars containing guns off. But it's the same right.
The idea that a car on someone else's property acts as a small oasis of its owner's property, and thus has immunity, like an embassy in a foreign country for instance, is kind of a fascinating idea. Not one which I agree with, though.
Do you believe that you also have no right to prohibit guns in the cars of those who are in the driveway of your home?
"I assume the term "guns-at-work" was selected by opponents of the bill? It certainly gives a different impression from "guns locked in your car.""
I think your right. It is a very misleading based on the facts. I have no problem with an employer that sets a policy that something like guns, booze, or smoking isn't allowed at work. They own the facility and it is there right. But this is very different. To me a car is private property. Companies shouldn't have the right to regulate what you have on or in your property.
As long as you are in lawful possession, I have no right to bar you from the curtilage of my property. I can under the castle doctrine, prevent you from entering my domicile.
But folks lets leave aside the business aspect and private property for one moment. Can the government especially local government prevent me as a teacher from having a gun locked in my car? Because once I roll off school property....I'm in da HOOD......
Must you provide justification for keeping a car off your property? IMO, it's the property owner's discretion, no justification required.
But yeah, leaving aside the property rights issue, seems to me that in some schools the teachers ought to be armed in the classroom.
In this instance, the private parking lot property ends at my private property, my vehicle.
The question remains, why do you think you need the power to keep me from having a gun in my car?
I really don't need the power to keep you from having a gun in your car, I even want you to have one there. I just want the power to keep cars containg guns (or anything else) off my own property, if I so choose.
Why would you so choose, when you say you even want me to have one there?
The idea that a car on someone else's property acts as aof its owner's property, and thus has immunity, like an embassy in a foreign country for instance, is kind of a fascinating idea. Not one which I agree with, though.
Well, our constitution agrees with the citizens home as a "small oasis" from unreasonable searches, why would you consider a car any less?
Do you believe that you also have no right to prohibit guns in the cars of those who are in the driveway of your home?
Honestly, the thought never entered my mind [I'm 68]. -- I first saw that idea posted about a year ago here at FR, when the Oklahoma incident arose. Why on earth would anyone who supports the Constitution -want- to hang a sign prohibiting guns on his property? In America that's like waving a red flag at a bull.
Faireturn, I personally wouldn't want to keep employees from carrying. What I want is solely the power to control what's on my property, including contents of cars.
As I said, my few employees routinely carry on my property, which pleases me.
But I believe it's up to me, not the state, to determine these things on my own property.
And, IMO, if we give the state the power to insist that guns may come onto one's property without their consent, then we risk giving it power to also prohibit such a thing. The power to truly infringe the RKBA, which I don't believe is happenning in these corporate parking lots.
I kind of go along with the idea of a car being an extension of one's home, but I don't believe one can "extend" one's home onto someone else's private property. I don't think it matters whether it's business or residential.
Well at least you honestly admit you want " -- the power to control what's on my property, including contents of cars. -- "
Most employers are using bogus liability arguments.
And, IMO, if we give the state the power to insist that guns may come onto one's property without their consent,
The state is obligated to enforce our 2nd Amendment against all infringements. Parking lot gun bans are infringements.
then we risk giving it power to also prohibit such a thing. The power to truly infringe the RKBA, which I don't believe is happenning in these corporate parking lots.
You are letting your beliefs blind you to the truth. These bans are orchestrated by the brady bunch faction, imo.

Parking your car in a private or public lot does not "extend your home" by any stretch..
Agreed. No Trespassing laws are as old as the republic. If you POST your land you are justified in enforcing the ban. But if you don't post the land, especially rural land and you find somebody on your property you are within your rights to ask them to leave but you cannot take further action as long as they obey the request. But you can't have them arrested for the initial trespass as this would be the equivalent of a Bill of Attainder and unconstitutional.
I agree. What you do in the workplace is their business, but what's in your car is not. Even (in my opinion) if you have drugs or explosives -- that's a police matter, and if they show up with a search warrant, then you're toast.
Don't laugh...an automobile is considered an extension of the home in many states.
The contents of automobiles are beyond your "right" in many states. Your property rights don't cancel out my property rights.
Actually, no. Your dues cannot be used for lobbying. That's why you get all those solicitations for the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). Only money donated to the NRA-ILA can be used to lobby for legislation. Likewise only money donated to the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PFV)can be used to help pro-gun candidates. The NRA cannot use dues for either purpose without violating their tax-exempt status.
Your property rights should not, in a free country, allow you to bring anything onto my property that I don't want you to bring. You have RKBA, but you don't have it on my property without my consent.
As I mentioned in my first post, some posters are falling into the liberal trap of thinking that corporate property is public property. It isn't, any more than your own driveway is.
You know, you got me thinking, by talking about posting the land, etc. I might go for it being illegal to not allow workers to have guns in their car if they are not warned. However, if the employee and the employer agree ahead of time that no guns in the car is a condition of employment, then I don't see the state taking the power onto itself to prohibit such an agreement.
But my other point is that it makes more sense to be allowed to carry on school property, which is truly public property. I may not think the contents of a car are an extension of private property when that car intrudes on someone else's private property, but I sure do think it's an extension when it's on public property. I believe the couts have disagreed widely with me on this however.
It would be irony indeed if we end up in a situation where our cars are inviolate on private property belonging to another, but subject to search on public property.
It's a mistake IMO. Private property is private property. Companies should and do have the right to set the rules for their property.
They are not, because such bans are a voluntary agreement. What you want is for the state to disallow the ability of employers to make the agreement a condition of employment. However, I do think such bans are infringements of RKBA when they exist, as they do, on public property.
"You are letting your beliefs blind you to the truth. These bans are orchestrated by the brady bunch faction, imo."
In fact I recognize that and stated as much in a prior post. I don't know whether or not the liability claims are bogus, but I consider that corporations do this because they want to appear politically correct. Which is reprehensible, but within their rights. The point is that, as Exsoldier noted, your freedom ends at the point it interferes with the freedom of another. In this case, it ends at the freedom of the property owner to control what may be carried by another onto his own property.
"Parking your car in a private or public lot does not "extend your home" by any stretch.."
Here, we agree, regarding private lots. The car is an extension of the home on public lots, IMO. Should be, that is.
Let's throw another monkey wrench into this mix. What about a business that's a really B-I-G corportation with LOTS of major stockholders and strong feelings on the issue? Say Disney makes this case (and they do) and all of their stockholders decide to bail. Is there a point where compromising your ideals makes better business sense? Then what? Talk about the sole proprietor. He owns say a hardware store in a medium sized community. He makes the same demand. His employees bail and make it an issue in the papers. The pro-gun elements put together an effective boycott. Now what? Stand firm and go out of business? You can BET that the competition will make statements to the effect of whatever way they can grab the business.
I am always amazed that people object to me carrying a gun, with a permit that means I have never had a run in with the law, at 56 years old. No one in America cared that at 22 with an 18 year old driver, I went up and down the highway in Germany with a side arm, a M-16, and NATO CRYPTO for a Pershing nuclear missile platoon with three launchers and nine rockets.
Good point. My view is that we should bring pressure to bear through the market or through unfavorable publicity, those kinds of things. IIRC, it was done successfully against Citibank on the RKBA issue. They didn't want to do business with gunshops and suddenly found that they were going to lose a lot of customers because of that. They reversed course. Although IMO, Citibank didn't have to compromise any prinsiples, they just had to make a decision to forget political correctness for once. I can imagine that their decision, whichever way it went, was based on PR.
I don't see a boycott against Disney being effective though, because I doubt it possible to keep even conservatives away.
They are not, because such bans are a voluntary agreement.
Hardly. Ever hear of coercion? Most rational people are fighting these infringements tooth & nail.
What you want is for the state to disallow the ability of employers to make the agreement a condition of employment.
Every state is obligated by our constitution to defend its citizens against conditional, coercive scams that infringe on individual rights.
As I mentioned in my first post, some posters are falling into the liberal trap of thinking that corporate property is public property.
As I mentioned in some of my posts, some people here are falling into the trap of thinking that corporations are defending 'property rights'. Not so, -- they are trashing individual employees 2nd, 4th & 14th Amendment rights.
"Still not sure how passage of this Bill will affect me as a public school teacher!"
IIRC, there is a federal law that forbids firearms on school grounds, unless you are LEO or district security. I'm interested in that too, as I'm going to be a teacher. Working as a sub right now, waiting for my certification paperwork to get processed... and waiting, and waiting...
I believe that those folks from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, and The Peoples Republic of New York that you have engaged in this thread are so used to having their Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms infringed, and are so ready to accept "reasonable gun controls" that they cannot understand why those of us in the "Free States" think that the Second Amendment still means something.
"Hardly. Ever hear of coercion? Most rational people are fighting these infringements tooth & nail."
You'll have to tell me about the coercion. Last I looked, no one was being forced to work for these corporations. Quite the contrary, they work there because they want the jobs. Your thinking is akin to union thinking, the employee gets to dictate the terms, by the power of the law. Now that's coercion!
A corporation has no power to disarm you or anyone else. It does have the power to keep armed men off its property. Rightfully so.
What most of the posters on this thread want is not just the right to keep and bear arms, but the right to carry arms on to private property belonging to someone else regardless of the owner's wishes.
So what do you do with your gun between home and the office parking lot? Do you give it to Bubba to hold for you until 5 O'clock?
So what do you do with your gun between home and the office parking lot? Do you give it to Bubba to hold for you until 5 O'clock?
I'd leave it at home. Better yet, pressure your employer any way you can, mount a publicity campaign against him. It worked with Citibank, IIRC. But usually if the rules at a workplace are too onerous to tolerate, people have found work elsewhere.
"Oh wait Mr. Perp. I need to go home and get my gun."
I agree with your sentiments strongly, I just don't agree that we have a constitutional right to carry weapons on other people's property when they don't want us to. On public property, yes, of course, not that too many local governments respect even that.
I'll take my chances. I have a lockable gunsafe mounted in my truck. That's where my gun is when I am inside. I won't open it for anyone. If they want to try they are welcome too, but it's gonna take a torch.
First of all, subs have about the toughest job in the system. My hat is off to you but I wonder about your judgment. Subs tend to make early burnout cases as regular teachers. Yeah, it MIGHT be good preparation, but it can wear you down, too. But then, I've taught in some very literal trenches over the years. If you're in a good environment, it might be great. What did you get your degree in? What level do you wish to teach? Subject?
IIRC you're correct about the federal law concerning guns on campus. No wait a minute....it's IN SCHOOL, not on the grounds because parents with a CCW can drive up the front drive and pick up their kids but they can't go into a conference armed. Also there may once have been such a law but it was invalidated by the USSC under the commerce clause of the 14th Amendment.
Cool. I imagine it is anchored well. I should look into something like that for my own truck. I don't usually carry, but on road trips I have generally had something aboard.
It is welded to a piece of 1/4 plate that is welded to the floorboard. Like I said it'll take a torch to either get it open or get it out. I just want to make it as much trouble as I can for anyone trying to get to it.
Well, it might not be that simple.
Corporations are not PEOPLE. For many legal purposes, they are treated like people. That is one of the advantages of incorporation.
Corporations are business entities created through the operation of state law. Such laws exist to ENCOURAGE business activity, mainly by limiting the liability of the corporation to the assets of the corporations. The stockholders cannot be held liable for the corporations debts.
This state-sponsored limitation of liability has become an essential element of business success. There are few large companies which are not incorporated. Unfortunately, corporations have no sensitivity to human rights. They are not PEOPLE, so one shouldn't expect such sensitivity. Corporations were not endowed by their creators with unalienable rights.
However, the tremendous success of corporations creates a situation in which corporations have tremendous impact on people's lives. It is absolutely unreasonable to believe that EVERYONE could chose not to work for a corporation. Some could, but if everyone tried, the entire economy would fail.
An unintended consequence of corporate success, is that many aspects of our lives are controlled by such corporations. Many corporations are multi-national. There is no reason to believe that such corporations will have any respect for human righs whatever, given that they might be able to operate more profitably in countries with no human rights guarantees.
For the reasons I described above, I find no compelling reason to spare corporations from legal constraints on their abilities to reduce the freedom of the people. If corporations were forbidden to infringe the right of the people to keep and bear arms, I see no reason to believe that the economic success of corporations would in any way be negatively impacted.
At least this folk from the Peoples Republic of New York (I can't speak for those folk who live in Kalifornia) understands that the Constitution only prohibits the government from infringing upon individual rights such as the right to bear arms, free speach and assembly, etc., and that the Constitution, in general, and the 2nd Amendment in particular, has absolutely nothing to do with the relationship between private employers and employees. As a private employer, I have the right to prohibit you from carrying a firearm on my property, just as I have the right to require you to carry a firearm on my property as a condition of your employment. If you don't like it, then go find a job someplace else. And stop being such an idiot about the what the Constitution does and doesn't do. Your lack of knowledge is embarrassing and makes the rest of us look really stupid.
Can you also tell your employees that they can't have religious or political material in their cars? Can you tell them how they should vote if they want to work for you?
If you are scientologist, can you forbid employees having medications on them or in their cars?
At what point do your private property rights become more important than other citizens' Constitutional rights?
That's the same analogy that I've been using. What if your company can prohibit religious items on their property. Not just bibles, but crosses, religious pamphlets, St Christopher statues and medals, US Currency, etc. You can't bring anything with the Words "God", "Allah", "Jehova", etc., onto the companies property.
Suppose they decide that they don't like certain news papers or magazines? In fact, maybe the only newspaper you can bring to work is USA Today.
I like the ruling by the Georgia Supreme Court that declared your car an extension of your home.
I've heard this argument several times, and it isn't really germaine. Your property expectations as a homeowner are different that the expectations of a corporation which does business with the public. If you had a business where the public and your employees came and went in your driveway at will I would expect that you would have no right to say what they had in their cars.
I think that bosses aren't concerned that if they confront a worker for his poor performance, substance abuse, etc. and fire him that he won't go out to his car, get his Bible, and take it back into the office to use against his coworkers.
Parking lots are private property belonging to companies or real estate managers. If they want to ban weapons from those locations, they have the right to do so. Gun-owners who want to keep guns in their cars can quit and find companies that allow it or look the other way. That's the American way--not this state-enforced tolerance.
The First Amendment stops at the boundary of company property. Why should the Second Amendment be any different?
I'll carry my gun where I damned well please. If it's in my car, Disney and the rest of those whining Jackass lovers can KMA.
As opposed to going home and getting a firearm and going back into the office etc? Your argument is specious.
You have Zero right to tell a person what they can or cannot carry in their car so long as that item, whatever it is, is a lawful product.
You don't want someone parking their car in your lot, that's fine. But YOUR rights end at my bumper bud.
when it involves the safety and well being of their
Case law would seem to hold otherwize..
This statement is typical of the arrogance of some posters who are so positive that they're right that they consider their opinion to be gospel. I got news fer ya Jack. Your opinion is no better than anyone else's on this matter, but it does reflect your cultural upbringing in New York where neo-nazi statists, upChuckie Schemer and Hitlery reflect the viwpoints of about 75% of the electorate.
Sorry, it's true--people can freak out and make a lifetime mistake in five minutes that they would never do if they had to drive 20 minutes home and back to the office in which to calm down and think it over.
Companies are TERRIFIED of recently-fired workers going postal. That's why they don't want guns anywhere near the property. Security is good for keeping civilized people out, but the kind of rent-a-cop you find in an office park isn't up for a gunfight with a depressed psycho.
Call my argument "specious" if you want, but it's what's on the minds of every HR manager and property manager on every Interstate.
If you don't think proximity matters, imagine what firings would be like if there was a gun in the hallway outside the HR director's office. Oh, and an open bar. Do you think that would increase violence, or have no effect?
The problem is a Corporate is a created person under the laws of the Government. By that definition they are LESS than the government while the Citizens of this country are GREATER than the government.
That which is created can never be greater than the creator. Simple law of nature.
By that definition, a created person should never have rights that outweigh those of a sovereign citizen of this country which created the government that created the corporation.
