I will try not to be off subject too long.shadroch said:
That is the problem. People invade first and then make up some laws for others to follow. Invasion is illegal in the 20th century? Wow, didn't the US just invade two other countries? Was is in the 20th century? Oh dang it! It was in the 21st centrury. No wonder it was legal!

He'll have to try it to find out. Maybe I'll give him the money, or maybe I feel luckier than him that day. Either way, it would be a bad move because give him the money or not, he has nothing to gain by shooting me. But if I choose to grapple and take his gun, I have nothing to lose by shooting him, he's just a felon caught in the act.21gunsalute said:

The last three countries the US invaded were Iraq, Yugoslavia and Haiti.psyduck said:
We did not invade Afghanistan. We were there under the invite of the remnants of the internationally recognized government, known then as the Northern Alliance.

I had a friend who was thought to be carrying $100,000. Someone fingered him. They met him and another in the parking lot where they were gambling. They took them for a ride, stripped them, and left them sans their money and clothes. They considered themselves lucky, not that they didn't have $100,000, but that the robbers didn't kill them when they discovered they only had $10,000. I guess the robbers felt it was a good enough consolation prize and let them live. This all happened not too very far from Chicago.Pro21 said:
I knew a pool player who got robbed after making a big score. He pointed out to the robber that like him who made his living with a 38 caliber handgun, he made his living with an 18 ounce cue stick. The robber took pity and left him $100 to bankroll his recovery.

Isn't also a federal crime to smoke medical marijuana legally prescribed by your Calif. doctor? zgcreeping panther said:

A friend of mine was in Vegas last year and hit it big playing roulette to the tune of $17,000. He had to catch a plane almost immediately after that, so he had every pocket stuffed with money, including his original bankrollAutomatic Monkey said:
Isn't there some law about how much cash you can carry on a plane or something without declaring it? At the very least, if he were caught with so much cash, he would have immediately been assumed to be somehow implicated in drugs.
That's why when I drive a friend of mine who smokes pot to Atlantic City, I insist that he leave the pot and any other kind of drug behind. I can just imagine being stopped for speeding and somehow they catch him with his stash and then find me carrying my bankroll. Images of my impounded car, phone calls to my wife to come and get us, and days in a New Jersey court explaining my innocent gambling jaunt, not to mention, visions of the thousands I would have won at the tables! lol

Provided of course that no one was here when they first arrived, and based on the theory that the first one anywhere gets to keep it all to themselves. Who ever made up that foolish rule anyway? I think it must go back to childhood. I've got "dibbs" on the front seat! Shotgun! Say it and its yours. Humans and their laws! Last one to comment is a rotten egg!psyduck said:

If he's a hardcore addict, and many armed robbers are, he may not even consider the gain or loss consequences of shooting you. You might just p*ss him off enough to kill you, or maybe he'll do it just cuz he can. I honestly believe that some of them will kill their own mother for a fix.Automatic Monkey said:

A poker player friend of mine says you can get a safety deposit box at the casino. Anyone know the details of this?
I went to my bank and asked them to raise my ATM limit. Wachovia will only allow you to raise your ATM withdrawal limit to $800. Anyone know of a bank that goes higher?

The man I told the story about carrying in excess of $17,000 on his person flying from Vegas used to be a top official in homeland security. Apparently, he knew the risk of a TSA agent detaining him if he was caught carrying so large an amount even though it is legal to do so. He tolde me he had cash stashed in every pocket and even in his socks and shirt. Imagine what would have happened if they caught him trying to hide the cash in this manner. It would have been much more difficult explaining his way out of that, besides being a hilarious scene. I guess he panicked. But to carefully stack it in his carry on luggage, if he had any, would likely have been caught on x-ray.21forme said:
What would you do if you didn't have time to go to the bank first? And then, you will be ID'd at the bank for making a deposit in excess of $10,000.21gunsalute

Huh? Please document that "law". And while you're at it, try to name one non-third world country that hasn't been invaded and taken over by non-aborigine's. Actually, I doubt there are many third world countries that would qualify. And I'm not saying that what we did to Native Americans was right, but we gave them much better treatment than most "invaders" give to their "captives". And look at what we give them now! Unlimited hunting and fishing rights and casino's that don't even necessarily have to be on the reservation. People living on the Isabella Indian Reservation get $60,000 a year just from the casino proceeds and I doubt that is atypical. There was a time in our history when it may have been prudent to feel sorry for Native Americans, but that time has come and gone.shadroch said:

I have a $3000 limit with BofA, but had to go into the office to have it set that high. Customer service on the telephone said they could not reset it that high, I had to go into the office and sit down with a manager who reset it. They always have to make things difficult and act like they are doing you a favor by giving you access to your own money.aslan said:

We also gave them smallpox and other infectious diseases, which killed far, far more native Americans than any of the wars engaged in.21gunsalute said:

I had a similar experience, but even at the office, Wachovia would only consent to an $800 limit.kewljason said:I have a $3000 limit with BofA, but had to go into the office to have it set that high.

ZG, have you got an conspiracy theories about banks knocking off any of its major depositors to get at their demand deposits?

The United Nations charter, which has the rule of law makes it illegal to invade a country for the purpose of conquest. those who violate this law can be tried at The Haigue. The law has only been in effect since after WW2.
It's why the world rallied against Iraq when it "conquered" Kuwait, while not responding to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. That was for the purpose of conquest.
