Kevin TyraWhen I got out of bed this morning, a Tea Party activist on the morning news was decrying government intrusion into our lives
and our freedom. He seemed to be saying that our lives would be so much better without government getting in our way and getting
in the way of businesses trying to make our lives better through the free market system.

Michael HebenstreitI don’t know about you, but when I was in law school, I read the appellate cases and was impressed with, and in awe
of, the entire legal system. It was a system whose foundation rested soundly on the Constitution, but had immense flexibility
in its application.

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
