On top of that, he supports the legalization of marijuana
Oh no! Not that! How dare him support something be legal...that multiple states already have and numerous more have decriminalized...excellent point.

This dickhead advocates the overthow of the Federal Government. Frack him. They should stick him on a C-130 and throw him out over the Pacific. Douche.
As a Marine, he swore to protect the Constitution - now he attacks it. He gets NO slack from me.
Irony?

This is not a LEO problem.
It very clearly is.
Taunting LEOs at a stop like this teaches nobody anything.
Breaking the law and violating someone's rights at a stop that should never have occurred in the first place teaches nobody anything.
Balls in your court.

Well at least this is better then the cop who was in the backyard of the wrong home and open fire on a nonaggressive with kids playing nearby while trying to serve a warrant for an unregistered vehicle. Or the cop who shot a dangerous yorkie because he was afraid...

MA is as big a clusterfugg as NJ. Won't be able to legally take your handguns to MA. NH is a non-issue.
In NH, unless you possess a NH p&r license, ensure all firearms are simply unloaded while driving (no other requirements). You can open carry any loaded firearm, or conceal an unloaded pistol or revolver. I suppose if you could conceal it, I don't see any reason you couldn't lawfully carry a loaded long gun concealed.

Someone is just full of meaningful posts, eh?
"Lol
Who really cares?
True
No one said it did.
Talk to them"

Doesn't all this first require someone underage actually buying alcohol? I'm no cop, but I'd say seeing this activity actually happen is far more effective then jumping on car hoods waving guns around.

Did I see it correctly that he has 12 TWELVE felony convictions already? This isn't like he got a second chance. Yep, the criminal justice system definitely works...

“There are different mechanisms in this gun that is for sure,” Edwards said"
Maybe their old Sig Sauer's didn't have triggers or firing pins??? Or maybe these are new model Glocks that don't require the trigger to be pulled. Other then that, I'm not sure which 'different mechanisms' he is talking about that would cause an 'accidental' discharge. If he had lost a finger that would be one less 'mechanism' for this to happen again.

Too bad.
Sad.

“The agents were acting upon reasonable suspicion."
I have reasonable suspicion that somebody or somebodies involved are overzealous morons. 6 agents to harass someone over not buying some beer, dear god I hope the story was wrong. I hope she at least had some root beer in the car...

I haven't had many issues actually. The occasional round that took a more then 1 strike to fire in my revolver. Other then that, it actually shot pretty well in my semi-autos. Weird.

Topics drift just like conversations do, they are organic and follow strange paths sometimes. Regardless, we got here because someone recomended a SERPA as a holster that may fit the needs of the OPs request. How is the subsequent discussion regarding the merits and shortcoming of that peice of gear not relevant to the discussion? Should we all be so clinical and simply answer with our suggestion to the OP with no discussion?
Of course their should be discussion. I never suggested otherwise.
Nothing was said about going to war and dodging land mines. Obvious, relevant, and factual shortcoming of a holster were brought to light. Nothing else. Apparently in your neighborhood the need to draw your CCW from its holster only happens on bright sunny days where cottonball clouds float across an impossibly blue sky above rivers of chocolate and trees that give beer. No one ever gets dirty, falls over, or is taken to the ground. I need to move
Move? Yes, I suggest it!
Regarding Bellybands - In my experience bellyband type holsters suck except for a very few very specific examples where they "may" be necessary to accomplish your concealment needs. Jogging is most definitely not one and a bellyband would be one of the last types of holsters, just after an ankle holster, that I would use for that purpose. The elastic does a very poor job of keeping the firearm secure to your body and it flops all over. With the right belt, a secure quality non-paddle OWB holster in kydex or leather would be a significant improvement over a bellyband type holster.
That being said, I don't think a standard OWB type holster is the "A" answer either.
I think a fanny pack would make the most sense, and if I ever start running outdoors again I will use that or one of the most excellent Hill People Gear's Runner's Kit Bags:
This is much more relevant to the thread and some good advice.
Or you can be like this stud from 19th SFG that ran the SLC marathon in plates with an M9 and a dip in:
I am sure following the pink shirt didn't hurt his motivation either. Scenery does help the suck-factor to be less noticeable.

How in the heck did we get on a discussion of the merit of the serpa holster when discussing carry options for running? I think the OP wanted something so he could go for a jog while carrying somewhat comfortable and not go for a jog while dodging land mines and gunfire and rolling around in the dirt and mud, but I've been wrong before.
I stand by my previous comment that a belly band is probably most suited for running then most holsters, and certainly better then a serpa or other kydex or even leather retention holster....

Unfortunately its turning into Mass.
True it is heading that way. Fortunately for now, though that ideology is seeping in, and can be seen with some of the ridiculous bill proposals, they haven't passed yet and it is still mostly free.
I made my escape back to NH after over 5 years in NJ last month. It is good to be back.

I want to say 18 or 19. They were working on the first 3 last month but I imagine they are probably finished by now.

Here you go. Read it yourself. I think this is the one they are talking about.
Wrong bill
The article was deceiving and there is some poor information out there. It doesn't prevent the reporting of a suspects description (race, age, disability). It is suppose to prevent general stop and frisk based off of it. How? No idea. Is it a good bill? Doesn't appear to be. Does it mean the only thing police can go off of is the color of ones shoes? Definitely not.
I lied. Here it is.
Int. No. 1080
By Council Members Williams, Mark-Viverito, Mendez, Lander, Cabrera, Jackson, Arroyo, Barron, Brewer, Chin, Comrie, Dickens, Dromm, Ferreras, Foster, Garodnick, James, King, Koppell, Lappin, Levin, Palma, Reyna, Richards, Rodriguez, Rose, Van Bramer, Vann, Weprin, Wills, Mealy, Eugene and the Public Advocate (Mr. de Blasio)
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting bias-based profiling.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings. The City Council finds that bias-based policing endangers New York City's long tradition of serving as a welcoming place for people of all backgrounds. The Council further finds that the people of the City of New York are in great debt to the hard work and dedication of police officers in their daily duties. The name and reputation of these officers should not be tarnished by the actions of those who would commit discriminatory practices. By passing this legislation, it is the intent of the City Council to create a safer city for all New Yorkers.
The City Council expresses deep concern about the impact of NYPD practices on various communities in New York City. In particular, the Council expresses concern about the NYPD's growing reliance on stop-and-frisk tactics and the impact of this practice on communities of color. In 2002, the NYPD made approximately 97,000 stops. By 2010, the number of stops had increased to more than 601,000. Black and Latino New Yorkers face the brunt of this practice and consistently represent more than 80 percent of people stopped despite representing just over 50 percent of the city's population. Moreover, stop-and-frisk practices have not increased public safety, as year-after-year nearly 90 percent of individuals stopped are neither arrested nor issued a summons.
Bias-based profiling by the police alienates communities from law enforcement, violates New Yorkers' rights and freedoms, and is a danger to public safety. It is the Council's intent that the provisions herein be construed broadly, consistent with the Local Civil Rights Restoration Act of 2005, to ensure protection of the civil rights of all persons covered by the law.
§ 2. Section 14-151 of the administrative code of the City of New York is amended to read as follows:
§ 14-151 [Racial or Ethnic]Bias-based Profiling Prohibited. a. Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms have the following meanings:
1. "[Racial or ethnic]Bias-based profiling" means an act of a member of the force of the police department or other law enforcement officer that relies on actual or perceived race, [ethnicity, religion or] national origin, color, creed, age, alienage or citizenship status, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or housing status as the determinative factor in initiating law enforcement action against an individual, rather than an individual's behavior or other information or circumstances that links a person or persons [of a particular race, ethnicity, religion national origin] to suspected unlawful activity.
2. "Law enforcement officer" means (i) a peace officer or police officer as defined in the Criminal Procedure Law who is employed by the city of New York; or (ii) a special patrolman appointed by the police commissioner pursuant to section 14-106 of the administrative code.
3. The terms "national origin," "gender," "disability," "sexual orientation," and "alienage or citizenship status" shall have the same meaning as in section 8-102 of the administrative code.
4. "Housing status" means the character of an individual's residence or lack thereof, whether publicly or privately owned, whether on a temporary or permanent basis, and shall include but not be limited to:
(i) an individual's ownership status with regard to the individual's residence;
(ii) the status of having or not having a fixed residence;
(iii) an individual's use of publicly assisted housing;
(iv) an individual's use of the shelter system; and
(v) an individual's actual or perceived homelessness.
b. Prohibition.
1. Every member of the police department or other law enforcement officer shall be prohibited from [racial or ethnic]engaging in bias-based profiling.
2. The department shall be prohibited from engaging in bias-based profiling.
c. Private Right of Action
1. A claim of bias-based profiling is established under this section when an individual brings an action demonstrating that:
(i) the governmental body has engaged in intentional bias-based profiling of one or more individuals and the governmental body fails to prove that such bias-based profiling (A) is necessary to achieve a compelling governmental interest and (B) was narrowly tailored to achieve that compelling governmental interest; or
(ii) one or more law enforcement officers have intentionally engaged in bias-based profiling of one or more individuals; and the law enforcement officer(s) against whom such action is brought fail(s) to prove that the law enforcement action at issue was justified by a factor(s) unrelated to unlawful discrimination.
2. A claim of bias-based profiling is also established under this section when:
(i) a policy or practice within the police department or a group of policies or practices within the police department regarding the initiation of law enforcement action has had a disparate impact on the subjects of law enforcement action on the basis of characteristics delineated in paragraph 1 of subdivision a of this section, such that the policy or practice on the subjects of law enforcement action has the effect of bias-based profiling; and
(ii) The police department fails to plead and prove as an affirmative defense that each such policy or practice bears a significant relationship to advancing a significant law enforcement objective or does not contribute to the disparate impact; provided, however, that if such person who may bring an action demonstrates that a group of policies or practices results in a disparate impact, such person shall not be required to demonstrate which specific policies or practices within the group results in such disparate impact; provided further, that a policy or practice or group of policies or practices demonstrated to result in a disparate impact shall be unlawful where such person who may bring an action produces substantial evidence that an alternative policy or practice with less disparate impact is available and the police department fails to prove that such alternative policy or practice would not serve the law enforcement objective as well.
(iii) For purposes of claims brought pursuant to this paragraph, the mere existence of a statistical imbalance between the demographic composition of the subjects of the challenged law enforcement action and the general population is not alone sufficient to establish a prima facie case of disparate impact violation unless the general population is shown to be the relevant pool for comparison, the imbalance is shown to be statistically significant and there is an identifiable policy or practice or group of policies or practices that allegedly causes the imbalance.
d. Enforcement
1. An individual subject to bias-based profiling as defined in paragraph 1 of subdivision a of this section may file a complaint with the New York City Commission on Human Rights, pursuant to Title 8 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, or may bring a civil action against (i) any governmental body that employs any law enforcement officer who has engaged, is engaging, or continues to engage in bias-based profiling, (ii) any law enforcement officer who has engaged, is engaging, or continues to engage in bias-based profiling, and (iii) the police department where it has engaged, is engaging, or continues to engage in bias-based profiling or policies or practices that have the effect of bias-based profiling.
2. The remedy in any civil action or administrative proceeding undertaken pursuant to this section shall be limited to injunctive and declaratory relief.
3. In any action or proceeding to enforce this section, the court may allow a prevailing plaintiff reasonable attorney's fees as part of the costs, and may include expert fees as part of the attorney's fees.
e. Preservation of rights. This section shall be in addition to all rights, procedures, and remedies available under the United States Constitution, Section 1983 of Title 42 of the United States Code, the Constitution of the State of New York and all other federal law, state law, law of the City of New York or the New York City Administrative Code, and all pre-existing civil remedies, including monetary damages, created by statute, ordinance, regulation or common law.
§ 3. Section 8-502 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by relettering current subdivisions e and f as new subdivisions f and g, and amending relettered subdivision f to read as follows:
[e]f. The provisions of this section which provide a cause of action to persons claiming to be aggrieved by an act of discriminatory harassment or violence as set forth in chapter six of this title shall not apply to acts committed by members of the police department in the course of performing their official duties as police officers whether the police officer is on or off duty. This subdivision shall in no way affect rights or causes of action created by Section 14-151 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York.
[f]g. In any civil action commenced pursuant to this section, the court, in its discretion, may award the prevailing party costs and reasonable attorney's fees. For the purposes of this subdivision, the term "prevailing" includes a plaintiff whose commencement of litigation has acted as a catalyst to effect policy change on the part of the defendant, regardless of whether that change has been implemented voluntarily, as a result of a settlement or as a result of a judgment in such plaintiff's favor.
§ 4. Severability. If any provision of this bill or any other provision of this local law, or any amendments thereto, shall be held invalid or ineffective in whole or in part or inapplicable to any person or situation, such holding shall not affect, impair or invalidate any portion of or the remainder of this local law, and all other provisions thereof shall nevertheless be separately and fully effective and the application of any such provision to other persons or situations shall not be affected.
§ 5. This local law shall take effect ninety days after it is enacted. -
Supporting the enforcement of the law and calling someone out who is more then willing to break the law is not the same thing as supporting the law. You cannot make someone a criminal either, only their actions can do that. The law is dumb, but if you break it that makes you a criminal, that in turn means another criminal with a gun. Sorry I'm kinda sick of my rights being eroded away by criminals. Would you tell someone if u saw a drunk guy stumble out of a bar with his truck keys in hand? I
I support the enforcement of law, not unlawful legislation.

I'm still trying to figure out what the intended purpose of this firearm is. It doesn't appear to be very ergonomic. I can't imagine that grip is very comfortable. Having a charging rod right at the muzzle end is an interesting choice. It certainly isn't a target gun. Or a hunting gun. Emergency backup gun? I do like the idea of utilizing 10/22 magazines though.
They appear to have lots of issues functioning properly. Hopefully they have been corrected.

I'm guessing the Tec-9 was Full Auto........??????
That is what the charges would seem to indicate, but considering the DC-9 was manufactured as a semi-auto, I have my suspicions. I'm thinking that the police haven't actually tested to see if it was FA yet and made a mistake. Looks can be deceiving.

Changing your residence, you would need to change your FID address and that could be a mess.
No, he would not need to.
I am sorry but this is just wrong...

My favorite argument I hear all the time on this forum is that 'being a douchebag' or something similar means that whatever happens negatively to that person 'they deserved'. Kind of an emotional opinion no? Who cares about any laws they may or may not have been breaking. If you are a douche, you deserve to be arrested, regardless.
I hate when other people exercise rights too. Those people are always douchebags.
