Stupid criminals! OK I admit I am being a grammar nazi but did anyone else notice this "Anyone can come an go from the lot where the theft took place"? "Come an go"? Really?
Anyway, it will probably be corrected before long.

Does anyone know what kind of plane that is? I noticed it has a Turbine Inlet Temp gauge which I thought was only for turbojet engines. Is it also for turbocharged piston engines?
I hate that KOMO refers to the plane he stole as if it is his plane "Instrument panel inside Colton Harris-Moore's plane shows his location over South Carolina and his intended destination of Treasure Cay, Bahamas."
He is an arrogant thief and nothing more. His mom was a piece of work as well.

My point is that guns when used as intended are for more than self-defense. Did that "very large sign" have any legal standing? I mean, what he did was illegal and wrong and he should be punished accordingly upon conviction but state preemption prevents municipalities from banning guns anywhere they want. But I suppose this was on a school property.

1) No
2) No
3) Yes
and, of course! But that in no way negates my assertion. See below:
You said "When used as intended guns are used to kill people. ". That is so wrong. Guns are used for target shooting which has nothing to do with self-defense. (Look at bench-rest shooting and target pistols - Handguns so ungainly and/or heavy, that they are not suitable for self-defense) I shoot my carry gun for practice AND recreation. I hope to never have to use it in anger. IF I do have to use it for self-defense I want to be accurate so I don't hit any innocent people.

When you "buy " on the internet you have to pick up the gun at a licensed FFL holders store and complete all of the federal paperwork the same as you do when you buy directly from that store. The store usually charges a fee for their service.

Well regulated, I believe, was meant to mean well practiced, well drilled. Like old clocks had what was called a regulator in them and it helped them stay accurate.
1. To control or direct according to rule, principle, or law.
2. To adjust to a particular specification or requirement: regulate temperature.
3. To adjust (a mechanism) for accurate and proper functioning.
4. To put or maintain in order
3 of 4 Def's are for regulating as in accuracy.

Oh, he can be kept from owning guns as soon as he is convicted of this alleged crime.

Krm66, I could not have said it better. What a POS!! Besides, why bring a gun to a potential fistfight? He should never be allowed to won guns again. I wouldn't be surprised if he was already barred from gun ownership from something in his past.
