"Is that XD40coyote?"Last year I attended an OC picnic in PA with a taxidermy coyote.
>>>> 2:19 seconds into Ted's 2011 NRA convention speech he call's every one of us a 'weirdo' !!! See for yourself.

Open carry was the norm out west before the 1990's... Uncle Ted must have been too heavy into drugs back then to realize it.
But then again, consider the source, he also said he would love to join the Border Patrol and wishes if he was able to "mow down Mexicans as they run across the border."
Uncle Ted is also LEOSA qualified so he can carry anywhere he goes with few limitations.
Uncle Ted also isn't telling you that he maintains a Michigan residence, meaning he has a MI CPL (and he's a reserve deputy in MI) so he is exempt from Concealed Pistol Free Zones. So he's definately amongst the privledge. I'm not knocking him for that because I'm LEOSA qualified as well; however, I support open carry and most importantly, I realize that open carry is the only way the average person in MI can carry due to pistol free zones.
There is nothing worse than someone who is exempt from carry restrictions who snubs his nose against other people who are forced to abide by those restrictions.

He may have been too into women back then, but not drugs lol.
Please cite your sources If you're going to make claims of drug use and racist comments. The rest of your post sounded well informed, but those comments leave me curios as to where they came from.
I don't need to cite my sources for his comments about Mexicans. My office use to have a signed poster of him in the break room. When that was poster was given to a co-worker, that's when he was saying his rant about how he wished if he could join DHS and volunteer at the Mexican Border and that he wished he could shoot at people as they ran across the border.
As far as the drug use. I'm just going by how torn up his face looks. Unless he was left out in the sun for 3 decades. You don't look like that from womanizing.
That's just my observation.
So basically, your quoted comment and statement regarding drug use is nothing more than rumor and libel. Thanks for clarifying.
Basically, you are incorrect.
I said the following regarding drug use...
"Open carry was the norm out west before the 1990's... Uncle Ted must have been too heavy into drugs back then to realize it."
That's completely different from saying "Uncle Ted was too heavy into drugs back then."
For example,
If Nick from the neighborhood was late for the annual block party cookout, and someone said "Nick must have lost track of time.".... that would imply a possible answer to why Nick was late for the block party. This would be entirely different from someone who said "Nick definately lost track of time." The first answer offers a possible explanation where the second one offers an affirmative answer.
You are inferring something into my statement that simply isn't there. It's not a rumor nor is it libel.
Here is a good website to check out if you are still having difficulty understanding...

While the drug use statement was a part of my response, I was moreso referencing the quoted comment regarding mowing down Mexicans that a coworker supposedly was told when he got a poster signed by Ted, and that said coworker relayed to you. So you have nothing more than a he said/he said situation that isn't backed up with anything documented. It's all good. Just wanted to be clear where your comment regarding the drugs and Mexican killing came from.
He's an embarrassment to Michigan. Gone are the days when great people were born or raised in Michigan who are or were famous. Michigan went from people like Charles Lindbergh to degenerates like Eminem and Teddy.
Do you really think Uncle Ted isn't noticeable? Do you think Uncle Ted doesn't clear Customs at Detroit Metro like everyone else who comes back for an international flight??? Because I can tell you that he and famous people like him clear Customs too.
Not sure where that came from, but ok. Anyway, I was always taught that a man's past does not define his future. I sure as heck ain't perfect, but I don't let my past mistakes define who I am today. I don't judge Ted for what he did many years ago, I'm more interested in his current viewpoints. You're free to disagree.
We agree, I'm judging Teddy by what he says today. Here is the difference,
I use to go to North Carolina every year. I've carried in banks, movie theaters, restaurants and bars while I was there, because like Teddy, I have LEOSA coverage. The difference is that if you are in the same bank as me and I see you open carrying because that is the only way for you to carry into a bank, I would think...
"good for that guy for exercising his rights. It just sucks that NC forces him to open carry in a bank."
Teddy would think...
" look at that idiot for open carrying".
As far as the Customs explanation. I'm just letting you know that it's not a he said she said situation. That there are situations where people may know certain things, but at the same time there may be things like privacy laws that would prevent me from giving you documentation as you requested.
Look, I don't agree with the OC is for weirdos comment, but again, I have several friends and folks I look up to that I don't necessarily agree with everything they say. Heck, I have a couple friends that are pro Obama, but I don't let our difference of opinion on certain things change my opinion of them as a whole person. I love to hunt, love the outdoors, and love the second amendment, so I'm kinda drawn to Ted's personality, despite his flaws, or his past, or even his occasional skewed viewpoint.
