Texan

No gun ban. TDI Kriss

Sad that this event has already been forgotten by most media organizations as of Saturday. All I hear is gun control with a mention of the shooting to stiffen their point on gun control. The event and the media reactions have been sad across the board. O' and I agree with certain aspects of gun control. I don't agree in overlooking events for the sake of pushing an agenda.

COD Series on PS3 from time to time. Battlefield 3 - all fun virtually shooting firearms I can't afford. But nothing replaces the real thing. the-flamming-pig on PS3 as in noveske flamming pig break.

Agreed - however for his time, he was way ahead of the curve with a lever - just like Jesus, beleive in the best of people but dam well be prepared for the worst.

Sorry to keep everyone hanging. I had to make arrangements to talk with all parties involved before further rattling the cage. Ok be pissed at me. After some conversations with the teacher and counselor it seems that he was not encouraged or directed to draw this picture. Or so they said. When asked if he drew this or if the teacher told him to draw it, he said the teacher. Which he may of refered to drawing anything. After further questioning my son and reassuring him that he was not in trouble, but to just tell the truth, he said he drew it. He said it was a law to not shoot people. This would make sense because when we shoot or talk about firearms, I have always stressed, never point a gun at a person or shoot at people. 1 of 3 I could see being true. 1. The teacher directed him or gave him a choice of listed items. 2. He followed or saw another kid write the same thing. 3. Or being the responsible and kind hearted kid he is - he remembered of everything else, don't shoot at people. Sorry, for the possible jump to a conclusion. Day after the election was a bad day for me all the way around, and lots of bad stuff happened that day, so I may have jumped the gun so to speak. I am sorry to those that may have been rattled by this as I was, and encourage those that kept their cool till all the facts came in, to help the rest of us keep searching for answers before jumping to conclusions.

From Texas and for all practical purposes my residency is in Texas. My son attends a public school in central NJ. He has a 10/22 he loves. He's new to the school this year and is a very well behaved boy. I'm sure he is try to get along with people as we haven't taught him to be confrontational yet. I'm sure he'll figure things out as he gets older.

I can't believe the day after the election, my son brought this home. Its time to go talk to the school. No other issues were covered, gay marriage, abortion, healthcare, as they shouldn't be. My son is in the 1st grade. This is unbelievable.

Ya sucks! Criminals get free health care. Law abiding responsible citizens none. My wife worked at a county hospital in Stockton CA that over saw the inmates there. Inmates taught others how to wrap razor blades with tape and swollow them and then would have to be surgically removed. This gave them a 2 week stay in the hospital at the tax payers cost. This happened every 6 months with quite a few of the inmates.

Completely wrong from a group that is suppose to be "intelligent". Safest homes for children are those with responsible parents active in their childs life.

Creative and entertaining, but didn't really find humor in it. I'm so not cool anymore.

I'm still hurting from the agreement to move here for 4 years from Texas. I have to travel back to Texas twice a year just to see my firearms. The only thing I felt safe within the law to bring was a pump shotgun and 13 round handgun. I'm amazed at how these laws can be, and be supported by anyone.

Sorry, had to. It was only a matter of time. A bit chessy but a good time.

Wouldn't have shot the kid with CHL, however would have drawn on him from behind and tried to subdue him until cops arrived. If he turned on me with it, don't know. I'm not going to pretend to be a tough guy and say I would shoot. He's lucky he didn't get shot. However this is another prime example of natural selection at work. Sadly enough teens or big kids with toy guns have been killed by cops enough that this kid should have expected nothing less.

I've got one of these arriving in a couple of days. Heard great things from a buddy from the limited time its been out. But he swears up and down its a freaking work horse for practical use. He said he put it through a car door while parts picking. I think its a great plus for NJ daily knife carriers. No teeth or points and non agressive look for law enforcement, but has that besh wedge point to put through most anything. Not crazy about the chisel grind or Mantis knives, but most likely from not much expierence with them. So stoked to get it, can't wait.

It's funny they would ask such a question. "Is any of this even legal?" They are the law enforcement - shouldn't they of all people know whether it is legal or not. You could have a collection of shovels on the wall and they would question the legality. You got to watch those sharp edges on shovels, the can wreak havoc on dirt. Don't let them go in your kitchen and see your steak knife set, then you would be in serious trouble.

You know everyones so confused beyond beleif right now at the airports, the TSA, and the NJ law enforcement. How the hell did a lady carry a firearm in her purse, and on a plane without losing her mind and shooting everything. I'm surprised they didn't press charges on the firearm, but smart to let the lady go. Those crazy firearms today, always getting into trouble and causing trouble.

From what I understand - You are right. As in "pocket tools/knives". You can carry a pcoket knife just like pepper spray, but once you use that pocket tool to defend yourself, just as pepper spray, it magically turned from a tool into a weapon, concealed weapon - which the use of a concealed weapon on someone, even in self defence is a felony.? Is that correct?

Thanks for the heads up. Read the above posting of law and took it to be a grey area on chemical dispensers to be illegal. Hope criminals don't start using pepper spray to subdue people to rob them. So feels like its agianst the law to protect ones self and family in this state. or everything or law pushes that suggestion. I'm truely sad and disheartened over this reality. What a truely horrible state of laws. Nothing against the state, just the horrible horrible laws.

Sorry to dig up an old thread - but drives me crazy trying to find a way to protect my family without breaking the law. WOW! just read that sentence. It is against the law to protect yourself and family. Man I hope there are pocket knives, baseball bats, shovels, whips, long studded belts, metal pipes or cans of pepper spray laying around everywhere. Would hate to get charged for arming myself with a tactical pen for self defense as I left my house and then be charged with a weapon after getting shot or stabbed by an assailent. Is bullet proof vests and anti riot gear for protection legal? or can someone be pushed to hard with a sheild or chest bumped to hard with a vest to cause bodily injury?

deleted - found legality of pepper spray thread.

Agreed - It's hard to relate to ignorance and/or stupidity. As there will be those that can't relate to or understand that statement.

All stab, no slash? Not for me. Pretty cool though. Price keeps me from being interested outside of pratical use and my ability. Other wise I would consider a new coconut puncher.

Perfect, not a knife, not a sword - just right. Seeing that would definitely cause one to pause if not immediately run away. Was looking at one of these until I found out it's $300 http://www.graymanknives.com/pemb.html

No worries. Just trying to take the best care of the things I have. But kinda afraid they might get scratched agianst the box spring. I have my mags heavily starched and scotch guarded from the factory so I don't have to worry about wrinkles or them getting wet thank god.

Figured it probably didn't matter. Just like brass casing shells not wearing on one's firearm as much as steel is suppose to (which is another debate). Just trying to apply common sense to the lack of scientific experience of mine. However, very very few of us will truly use our firearms in daily use as tools, to really have any real first hand idea of what really wears and from what. Would love to see a 5 to 10 year test of unloaded mag and loaded mag, and then compare the results of tension 10 years later. I might try this one.
