    Pretty much impossible to legally carry in Maryland too.  Basically have to be a police or federal officer or an armored truck driver. Otherwise, there is no carry.  And I'm ok with that.  I actually feel a lot safer that way than knowing a bunch of rednecks in a bar might all have their sidearms on them ready to pick fights er, I mean, defend me against tyranny.
    Totally agree that carrying in a bar is retarted. Alcohol and firearms should never mix in any capacity. 
    dude, stop saying that word.

    Is is not illegal to carry in bars?  Here in TX, if a certain percentage of the businesses sales come from alcohol sales, then it is illegal to carry there whether or not you have a license.

    We're still talking handwriting here, right? My writing skills are good - it's just my printing/handwriting that sucks, lol.

    My writing skills have definitely diminished since college. I write up assignments and exams but that is it.

    Yeah . I'm a good writer but horrible handwriting.  In fact,  there are cursive letters that I struggle to remember.

    So sketchy dudes in the woods, and bears?

    Also, brother, I'm far from a spelling nazi... but you really don't know its retarded?

    Also, one last thing brother, I'm not exactly a social justice warrior or the PC police... but using the word retarded the way that you are is pretty fucked up and not very cool nowadays. I'm a little shocked that as a parent and educator you use it so openly in that way. Might want to think twice about it, it can be pretty offensive.

    Now, sketchy dudes in the woods, and bears? Sounds like Betsy DeVos on the Appalaichan Trail lol

    Yeah McGruff, like it or not (I'm find with it), no matter what the context, it just isn't acceptable to use that word anymore. I know it can be hard to not use it - I think we're about the same age, and I know that we both used the word pretty much ubiquitously back in the 80s and 90s; it took a while for me to break the habit too (and the word still comes up in my brain - I've just learned not to say it out loud) ... Sorry, it just doesn't fly anymore. Just like how saying something is "gay" to say it's dumb is no longer okay. It makes no difference if you're thinking about actual gay people when you use the word like that. Like my2hands, I'm pretty surprised you don't seem to know this by now.

    I will do my best to not use that word!  It is literally said every day around me but I will refrain from using it.  Allie I turned 40 this past November and graduated in '96.
    My bad guys.

    Dude that is out it comes out on my iPhone! lol.  fuck is always duck lol.  Again, my bad guys.

    And on the other note, yeah I've seen some sketchy people deep in the woods while running or hiking.  It's a pretty unsettling feeling when you are two miles from your car.

    I also graduated in 96 and will be turning 40 in September. Too bad you're not going to Boston for a few IPA's

    yeah the dates didn't match up with our schedule.  I would have loved to have had a few IPA's with everyone.
