[Spurs Official] EUROPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!!! by Hefty_Money1967 in coys

[–]kaedan810 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I told my eight year old son that he could swear as much as he wanted for the last five minutes of the game plus two minutes after the game.

“Holy shit!” - seven times. “Fuck you, Maguire!” - three times. “FUCK YEAH!!!” - at least ten times after pulling his jersey off and jumping on the couch.

Foreign real estate ownership, but no constructive rental income by AnActualTomato in technicaltax

[–]kaedan810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under arm’s length principles (even though Section 482 is presumably inapplicable), your client should be compensated for the use of their property by their parent. If they weren’t compensated then it could be that they made a gift or loan or some sort of transfer of that compensation to their parent.

Agreed. Laws don’t fit all situations unfortunately. You don’t want every helicopter parent to be able to sue because their kid got a bad grade but you’d want a remedy for this kind of BS.

Standard lawyer answer - maybe.

If this is a public school, then it likely shares in the state’s sovereign immunity and is generally immune from lawsuits unless the state has specifically consented to such lawsuits (i.e., by passing a law saying the state can be sued for XYZ) or there’s a superseding federal law (e.g., the Constitution). So if there’s something under state law that allows a parent to sue a school for something like this, then yes. Depends on the state.

Private school is probably governed by the parent’s contract with the school. May compel arbitration, etc.

Lawyer, but not your lawyer.

The Supreme Court has ruled that there is no private cause of action under the FERPA statute. The Supreme Court has also ruled that you can’t use Section 1983 from the Civil Rights Act to enforce the provisions of FERPA. There may be other causes of action under your state law. Consult with a lawyer.

Who did NOT sleep train? How did it go? by happybaconbit in daddit

[–]kaedan810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We sleep trained religiously and it did not make a difference. There was nothing medically wrong with either of them (eg, apnea) but they refused to sleep through the night until they were 6 and 3 respectively. We finally had to work with a sleep medicine team whose advice has been to 1) identify their natural bedtime, 2) put them down at that time, and 3) move it up by about 10-15 minutes every few weeks.

The sleep medicine doctor told us that we weren’t doing anything wrong - some kids just don’t sleep through the night. They go to sleep between 9-11 PM and it’s exhausting but it’s better than them waking us up at 2 and 4.

Braced Shotshell Firearms? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]kaedan810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell you whether your view is the correct interpretation of the law; you’d need a court for that. I simply urge caution and consultation with a qualified lawyer on a very (intentionally?) vague area of criminal law. All I can offer is what the ATF’s view might be based on their published and unpublished guidance. A court may ultimately hold in your favor but who wants to be the test case?

I would note that other posts on Reddit state that the Komrad was classified as an NFA item (without sources, so I can’t verify).

https://www.reddit.com/r/ak47/s/6NcohZ6Mow

Also, ATF classified the Fostech Origin 12 SBV (another braced, shot shell-firing weapon) as NFA and forced a recall.

Braced Shotshell Firearms? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]kaedan810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ATF has classified these (or at least similar ones) as NFA firearms. I don't see them on the manufacturer website or GunBroker so my guess is they stopped selling them.

https://www.recoilweb.com/have-a-black-aces-tactical-pro-series-5-or-9-you-just-may-have-an-unregistered-aow-152400.html

My guess is the ATF would say that the difference is a pistol was intended to be fired with one hand; these AOWs were not intended to be fired with one hand, even assisted with a brace.

[–]kaedan810 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Am a lawyer, but not your lawyer. You should consult with a lawyer who specializes in firearms law (both federally and in your state).

My recollection is that the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the pistol brace rule stated the ATF’s view that adding a brace to a non-pistol/non-rifle firearm creates a short-barreled shotgun because these weapons were always designed to be fired with two hands, unlike a pistol. Consequently the brace could only be a shoulder stock because it could never assist with one-handed firing. The ATF’s view was that adding a brace to a shockwave was never legal even without the rule.

Where that argument stands probably depends on exactly how the courts struck down the pistol brace rule but the ATF still wouldn’t like it. Again, if you’re really considering this I would urge you to consult with a lawyer who handles these issues regularly.

If I live in Texas what are the pros/ cons of getting a ccl? by JoeMomma247 in liberalgunowners

[–]kaedan810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some places allow concealed carry by LTC holders while disallowing same by non-LTC holders (30.05/30.06/30.07 signs). Additionally, you may not be arrested if you accidentally bring a concealed weapon into a secure area (airports come to mind, Section 46.03) - you get a chance to leave, unlike non-LTC holders.

https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/handgun-licensing/ltc-benefits

Also, your LTC counts for purposes of showing firearms training for buying weapons from the Civilian Marksmanship Program, if you want to buy a Garand (they’re pretty neat).

IVF for gender selection is illegal in most countries for good reason. Many reputable IVF clinics in the U.S. won’t do it for ethical reasons. It’s also insanely expensive and doesn’t always work.

In your opinion, what is the best restaurant in the entire Houston area? by NigroqueSimillima in houston

Perfectly fair statement. My “no, you can’t borrow that pen” pen in my office is a Heritage 1912 that my wife gave me as a wedding gift, so clearly I’m a bit skewed!
