If that honesty is to be expected, how is being honest about your immigration status not encompassed in those questions? In order to be a Branch President or a Missionary - one must be worthy of a temple recommend. In the article it says that a member of the branch stated that the wife and children are in hiding. How long could an "illegal" in the Celestial Kingdom hide from God? Would He accept being "scared" and "not wanting to leave" as an acceptable excuse? Shouldn't those members be honest, report their whereabouts, and let consequence follow?

]]> Comment on Another “Assault Weapons Ban”? by admin http://blog.icarryutah.com/2011/01/13/another-assault-weapons-ban/#comment-9 admin Fri, 14 Jan 2011 03:21:55 +0000 http://blog.icarryutah.com/2011/01/13/another-assault-weapons-ban/#comment-9 I just received a few responses to my inquiries, and it looks like folks are starting to react by purchasing more magazines - and dealers are ordering more magazines - before any legislation can pass and we are back to limited-capacity magazines. Distributors report that magazines are starting move at an accelerated rate, and many dealers are starting to raise their prices as distributors raise theirs in anticipation of a run. Folks, keep calm, and contact your elected representatives. Let them know that you do not support any more limits on the 2nd Amendment. Let them know that you won't support the re-election of anyone that does.

In a stress situation, you will not remember exactly what happened. I use an example of a police officer that shot at a fleeing suspect that had shot at him. He underestimated the number of shots he fired, and missed the target with most of his shots. You will not know exactly what happened. Wait for your attorney. It's the smart thing to do.
