OK, this was nice to see... especially in these days of rising tensions between police and citizen activists. A 3-year old girl in the Kansas City area wants to be a cop, so she sets up a lemonade stand to earn money to buy her own mini-cop uniform... and by midday she has her uniform. Family posts it to Facebook... local police station puts out the word and over the course of the remaining afternoon, they have 50+ cops showing up from all over the area to the lemonade stand... including members from the mounted unit (with their horses, natch)... and even a police chopper buzzing overhead. Too funny. And great PR! http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news/911-lemonade-emergency-officers-visit-wannabe-cops-stand/ar-BBCa0hk?li=AAk6ORB&ocid=spartanntp

Psychology You start with a cage containing four monkeys, and inside the cage you hang a banana on a string, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana. Before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana. You then spray ALL the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original four monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment - with enthusiasm - because he is now part of the "team." Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. Having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the Banana. Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been! This is how today's House and Senate operates, and this Is why from time to time, ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME! DISCLAIMER: This is meant as no disrespect to monkeys.***

An example of what could happen when a 4 year old girl is left alone with a pit bull. Please don't let this happen to you...

In an ongoing series on guns..... can't quote much as per agreement with SA... https://seekingalpha.com/article/4079389-excitement-gun-rights-anxiety-gun-investors Am REALLY excited it was made Editor's Pick. Thank you @PK90 @remixer @tj462nj @nuclearheli @JT Custom Guns (could not tag everyone in one post.)

My biggest issues with competition shooting is that it rewards bad decisions. Dropping a semi loaded magazine is something you would NEVER do if you were in a fight for your life. But it's done regularly in USPSA. Another issue I have is "unload and show clear." Can't we move past this and just consider all guns loaded, since we do that anyway? I know, almost every range in NJ is a cold range, but there is an exception. When there is a training class for personal defense or protection. The instructors want the guns loaded, so you can get comfortable. I'm sure I'll get flack for that one, so good. I want it. I'm sure I have more, but I'll digress.

Jesus Christ, I'm just trying to keep this place interesting. Calm down people. Let's go back to talking about bullshit and nonsense.

Not really, I push myself out of many threads due to cannibals and stupidity. Some stupidity is on my part as well, so there is that too.

Its what is "viewed" on camera after the fact by the brass or public later on. So her is a hypothetical situation for you: You are sent to a residence for a barking dog complaint. While speaking with the dog owner, you observe on the coffee table a multicolored glass pipe with a partially burnt greenish / brown vegetative substance in it. The person you are speaking with is being polite, calm, respectful and has has zero interactions with police prior to today. The resident had also lived in your town for years and police have never been to this residence before. Unfortunately you now have to act on the pipe and arrest for DP possession of CDS and Paraphernalia. If you don't, you run the risk of the brass reviewing your video and seeing that you failed to act. You are now being charged at work and face suspension / loss of job. Everyone wants transparency, and full documentation until they are wearing bracelets sitting in the back of a patrol unit.

Kamau Bell. Is this a new Muppets character?

He was a pedalcyclist. Fight it. You will win. She had the right of way. I hate f*^king bike riders. They think they own the road.

In NJ a person on a bicycle is not a pedestrian, they are a pedacyclist. NJSA 39:1-1 Words and phrases defined "Pedestrian" means a person afoot. This is a good resource when researching NJ MVA issues: http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/refdata/accident/pdf/NJTR-1CrashReportManual12517.pdf

Check this out: https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2016/9/22/ruger-introduces-one-button-takedown-mark-iv-pistol/ https://youtu.be/MqbiyPMA7CE I imagine this is going to sell very well. Curious if anyone has seen one in person yet.

What happened to MIPA? Did he get sent to "banned camp" and I missed it. I figured he would have some pithy commentary about what is going on in the world, the PRNJ, etc. S.

I can live with $263 for 9 days for a Kennel then. Loved my 04 Rubicon. That was one of my ra-grets.

So let me get this straight...if you are a minor you won't be charged as an adult for violent crimes so do something really bad and you walk, or at the best serve some minimal amount if time behind bars. If you are an adult you won't have to make bail and will be released based on some mythical algorithm, so you too are out on the street. And now we can keep end stage heroin addicts alive in perpetuity through artificial means such as Narcan... This should end well!

I thought paying 800-1000 per month was bad for my kid going to pre-school... can't imagine your monthly bill on that

That's sad, but if a thread on the internet pushes you away from something .. maybe it wasn't for you start, and it just reinforces some unfounded prejudices you have.

Good article, Maks!

Shhhhhhhh........ It's like the Beetlejuice thing...... say his name 3 times and he will appear.....

It's been quiet round these parts without him....lol Maybe he joined a PA forum ? Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

Highlander is more expensive for what you get... I don't know...

Good one bro.

March is decent but a bit in the specialized category in my view. Which.... may work on a Grendel as March tends to try and keep the size and weight down. Id look at a NF ATACR 4-16 too. I think the Vortex Razor HD is a good scope in this price range but I think the weight may be a problem on a small frame AR.

Spandex warriors, Lycra lions, leMans losers, etc?

This thread pushes me away from gun games.

The first phase of Operation Overlord - the establishment of a large-scale opening into Europe - was the amphibious invasion and establishment of a secure foothold, codenamed Operation Neptune. 73 years ago, 156,000 allied troops embarked on the largest amphibious landings in history. Troops from the US, as well as the UK, and Canada, began their assault against Fortress Europe, taking well over 10,000 casualties. Although it took longer than planned, they ultimately succeeded in establishing their foothold, consolidating their positions, and opening a path that led the the fall of Nazi Germany and an Allied victory. Take a moment today and remember the men who walked into the jaws of hell and won, securing a future free from the evils of the Nazi sickness. http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/world-war-two/world-war-two-in-western-europe/d-day-index/operation-neptune/ I have to qualify my guys on their rifles tomorrow. I am going to shoot a qual course with my US Rifle .30 cal M1 to commemorate the day. My Grandfather was in the 88th Infantry Division, The Fighting Blue Devils. He was captured in Italy in 1943 and spent 13 months in a POW camp. He was a prisoner during the Allied landings. If they had not succeeded my grandfather would have died in that camp.

As was @Old Schooland @Pizza Bob

I want a real, indepth investigation into the DNC email hacking that leaves no stone upturned and I want the results made public. Whether or not it happened, I want to know. If we have a president that colluded with a foreign country to break laws to get elected - that's important stuff to know. If we have a political party that made the whole thing up and a media that knowingly went along with the fraud - that's important to know too. But I'm sure that in 5 years we'll be right where we are now with accusations flying but no facts.

Hell Bob took me for a ride in it and i had a hard time getting out of it. Like he said. You fall into it and pull yourself out. Sweet ride though.

@67gtonut would run it, into the ground. He doesn't like rice burners or land boats.

Not easily.

You can get in and out of that thing?!

Current cars: 1990 Z51 Corvette & 2017 Chevy SS - Both are M/T 6 spds both are "favorites". Previous favorite was 2006 Mitsubishi Evo VIII The SS is a beast. Worst car was a 1967 Rambler American w/3 on the tree. Needed transport when I got married and this was it. Both the Rambler and the wife are long gone. Adios, Pizza Bob

It's home!

460 S&W Performance Center 7.5". I'll be shooting it today at GFH, be warned.

Im putting you all in time out.

This went into effect on Jan 1, 2017. This is also costing small PDs tens of thousands in OT, and impacting available manpower for calls on a regular basis. Combine this, with a lack of discretion due to the wearing of body cameras (more arrests for minor offenses when previously discretion was used and you cut folks loose with a warning) and you are seeing a serious decrease in response time and an officer safety issue when you can only send one cop to calls that should have 2 or more responding.

Soo I guess your not moving on like you told me to do in my thread. I knew you would post that. Please tell me what kind of parent leave their 6 MONTH OLD OUTSIDE UNATTENDED with or without a dog?????? I'll tell you the same type of person that gets a dog and does not train or socialize it. I'd bet that this case is the owners faulght not the dogs. Ray you are no better than the media and their media war on guns.
