Your interpretation of the situation is really dependant on how big the rocks were. A nice fist sized rock form an overpass is a lethal weapon.

I'm not much use on a roof, so I have a guy coming by thursday, but thanks for the offer.

You just need to get your bench organized. You could have everything I can see in that pic in place and usable in half that bench (including the storage space underneath). That whole bench would make it comfy. You just need to get comfy with a process for what you load a lot and organize around that process. But heck, you could do half that bench presses, half as prep, and have three serious presses on one end, msot of your prep stuff out and ready to roll most of the time, and components, spare parts, and your tumbler underneath.

I use them. The NRR isn't so hot, and the delay in cut out is a bit on the slow side. Performance is similar to quite a few competitors that sell for a whole lot more, which is why reviews sound good. Myself, I use them for indoors on top of disposable foam plugs with a 33db NRR rating. I can hear conversations much better, but the comped open guns are much more bearable. For outdoors, I use just the plugs and a hit with a brim. They are worth the money, I just haven't met a set of amplified muffs that are good to go as primary hearing protection.

Lost power briefly probably a dozen or more times. Got about a gallon of water in the basement due to a newer unpatched crack. Wind pulled a gutter away from the roof causing all the water to be dumped in the middle of the kitchen roof, which caused a leak in the kitchen. So at the very least nead to patch the roof and patch the ceiling.

Primary arms micro. I own multiples, and I am happy with every one.

Ooh, that looks pretty nice.

I use the possum hollow kwik case trimmer. Good stuff. Chuck it up in a drill, and you can trim very quickly.

It will probably work, but there are issues. 1) Don't forget the magazines. 9mm in 40 mags does not run well despite potentially working poorly. 2) The breech face angle cut into the slide differs between 9mm and 40mm. This can cause issues for some people. All the below reuire you to buy 9mm magazines. Most reliable conversion - buy a 9mm top end. Midway sells them for about $250-260 for the plain old iron sigts. About $300 for night sights. NExt best - buy a conversion barrel form storm lake. AFAIK, They cut the bore off axis to account for the breech face angle being different. It's 100% for most, 95% for a lot more. Least best - buy a 9mm barrel and drop it in. YMMV.

Myself, I was going with this as the most questionable line: "Seconds later, a Lakewood Officer with his gun drawn ran up to the burglar and told him to freeze, while the officer held him at gunpoint waiting for backup to arrive." Seconds? I mean you can enumerate the time since the dinosaurs roamed the earth in seconds if you really wanted to I guess.

Kind of sort of maybe both. Have to do some math, but it will probably be 4 of the smaller classifiers doubled up in two pits and three normal stages. Depends on if we can find 4 that are narrow enough, still valid, and short enough.

The video isn't that shocking. The shoot house portion looks pretty normal for team training, although it is hard to say withough being able to see it without the wall obstructing the view of most of what is going on. The main thing that seems off is that there seems to be a pretty wide gap in skill levels with the various guns in terms of shooting performance fro the degree to which they were pushing the limit on showing off with muzzle discipline. Also, on some of the muzzle discipline exercises, it looks like there were bystanders wandering around in the back getting swept during a live fire exercise. that jsut seems like unnecessary risk IMO. You don't want muzzle discipline to be learned in a real life scenario, so you have to train. That doesn't mean that you just ignore making the range as safe as possible, especially for those not shooting at the time.

The only thing i can think of is taht sales of firearms directly to departments and agencies are exempt from the firearms and ammunition excise tax. Ammo might be the same way, so LEO only ammo might not have had the excise tax paid on it. Just a guess.

not with any steel i'm responsible for you won't. That could get real expensive real fast.

Absolutely the wrong way of looking at it. A body has at best a lifespan of a couple hundred thousand shutter clicks before it has to be refurbished. If you are into action shots, you can go through that VERY fast. My first body was rated for 100k + clicks. I got out to maybe 4 "actiony" things a year, plus a couple of picture taking trips and some in home stuff to mess with controlled lighting. I got it up to 80,000 clicks in 3 years. On the other hand, I have some good old glass that is 20+ years old. I shoot pentax, as i like the in body stabilization, the ability to use even old screw mount lenses, i agree with their engineers about how much processing should be done to an image before it leaves the camera (not much), and there used to be lots of good, affordable used glass out there. That's drying up. The down side is that you are pretty much stuck buying online or visiting B&H or adorama in the flesh, and the flash system is craptastic. Also the company is always flirting with financial ruin, although it seems ot have mroe lives than a lucky cat. Regardless of what you buy, for the body, what is worth spending money on is high iso performance. Good high iso performance means you can take a lot of pictures you might otherwise miss. I have a pentax k-5 currently, and it'll go up to iso 51,200, which is insane. It doesn't look nice, but for some technical stuff it is useful. However, iso 3200 on it is absolutely amazing, and 6400 is pretty usable. If pentax went poof, I'd probably go with a nikon d7000.

April and may are up. June is still experiencing technical difficulties. If you zeroed it, it doesn't get submitted.

Sorry guys, when I got up it looked like the band of red was going to pass to the north. When I got there it was a nice drizzle for about 45 minutes. Then everything shifted east and despite the better drainage, the pits flooded. I think folks should stop letting me call the match. Last 3 times I called it on weather, it was decent the next day. This time not so much.

YEah, double check your gps route with google maps at the very least. We had one person's wife bring him his belt he forgot. Her GPS sent her someplace her vehicle was not meant to go. So some GPSs may have issues finding the place. but from sayreville, get on 9 south. In freehold, take the w. main street exit that is after the freehold mall entrance. Turn right at the light. Driiiiiiive for a while. You'll get to a 4-way intersection with a light, a sunoco station and anothe gas station and strip mall. Turn left. Drive. You will hit a 4 way intersection with a light and there will be a bar on the corner that is painted gray and purple. Turn right. Drive. You will see a VERY sharp turn to the left with a small building that is now som sort of hunting/fishing/sproting goods place that says we sell ammo on it. Turn left. Keep an eye out of rthe yellow entrance sign on the right, it's easy to blow past.

I'd have to say skip the last man on earth, omega man, and I am legend. Buy the collection of short stories by the same name. It is much, much better than any of those. It's also not in any way a zombie story. You will also find a lot of other stories in there that have been appropriated for the big and little screen with varying degrees of credit given to the author. My favorites Night of the living dead (both versions) dawn of the dead (both versions) day of the dead zombieland shawn of the dead the walking dead Evil dead 2 Army of Darkness The crazies (remake, also does it count?)

The only thing I have seen I'll take it or dibs do on most forums is establish who got in line when. I agree the OP got hosed. The OP didn't contact them in a timely manner, but the seller wasn't exactly on the ball with communication either. You want to be a hard a**, it cuts both ways. Same if you expect to be cut some slack. IMO OP should leave negative feedback, and admins should let it stand. About the only thing we might need long term is a guideline on how much negative feedback you can get without being locked out of the for sale sub-forum.

In this case, I don't think favoritism was involved. I think they got off on a technicality anyone with a decent lawyer could have gotten off on by calling the stop into question and thus getting evidence thrown out. However, I'm not seeing the case where officers ever get punished far worse than any non-LEO. In fact I have never, EVER seen such a thing. I'd be glad to see an example. At best, they get convicted of the same crime anyone else would, and MAYBE get a sentence in line with a particularly remorseless criminal. For the most part they get a much lighter charge, if any, and lose their job. I'm guessing nothing that would amount to anything more than existing in an annoying workplace till their coworkers got bored of mocking them for getting caught. Beyond that, probably being on the bosses **** list for while, thus requiring the officer to suffer having to actually obey the law and be well behaved for a while. Probably also have to hear it brought up any time their behavior is questioned in the future.

It just looks like a flash hider. i'll bet if you look, the slots the muzzle flash comes out of are not present on the bottom. the slots are also likely wider than real A2 slots by a smidge, and the inside is built differently, and the front is closed off. In which case is is an a2 birdcage COMPENSATOR, and not a flash hider. It's just made to look like one.

By your reasoning you should be behind giving them cell phones then. one of the key obstacles to getting gainful employment is being able to be contacted by a prospective employer. Cell phones facilitate that. TV... not so much.

Just to make it more fun, I go to enter scores today, and what do you know. My copy of ez-winscore pre-dates the CM 09 classifier update.... aaaaand we dic a CM 09 classifier in July. *sigh*

That mostly sums it up. reality for a match the size of CJ is 4-8 hours. Depending on turnout, penmanship, etc. I'm on pulaski ave towards the main st. end. HEHEHHEHHEHEH. You don't get to see the headaches surrounding the palms. I did palms at the indoor matches for 6 months+. A match with about 30 shooters takes about an hour to set up. EZWinscore SUCKS for data entry. So you NEED pre-registration. You also need a computer on site. You also need someone to show up with the gear 100% of the time. OB spent a LOT of time sorting that stuff out. It shouldn't be as hard as it is. They have over $1200 sunk into it that I know of. Between all of that and palms being a dead platform, we aren't planning on moving over to them anytime soon. As for where the scores are, well it's a mess. Vlad has been doing the scores. Vlad has been busy getting ready for his trip to Alaska, and in part that has entailed work trumping some other stuff. Add to that his laptop went poof. Then his wife's laptop went poof. He got a new laptop. he can't get the latest ez winscore to run on it (did i mention EZWinscore sucks). So he gives the sheets to me. Probelm is I haven't had a cop of ezwinscore on my machines since I told everyone they can take the scorekeeping gig and shove it if they have a problem with my schedule. Doing the scores for the indoors for round about 4 years was more than enough for me forever. Vlad was having issues finding his disks, and I don't know if he did before he left for vacation. I found a slightly older copy of EZ winscore, so I can now do the score, but I can't post them, because although I thought i stored the password to the website in my password wallet application, apparently i did not. Vlad is off in the boonies of alaska so it's going to stay that way until after the match. Sorry, it's screwing us too, because we can't close out the fiscal year for the discipline until we pay out that match. things just broke badly in many ways on this one. What I would love to do if we have interested people is get more than one person for scores so that the load can be shared. I suspect it will go a long way towards alleviating the burnout factor of scoring. At the moment though, nothing is going to get the scores fixed before the 15th. My apologies.
