I am not clicking that POS link. Me and my co-workers service Sinclair stations throughout the country. We knew those people and all their co-workers. I was at a Sinclair station with friends of the deceased at the moment the news broke. It wasn't pretty or fun or interesting, it was horrible. No dumb shit conspiracy moron is going to explain away that they are dead at his hands. So no, I am not going frame by frame over a video of their death - out of respect for the dead, their friends and family. Not to mention to keep my own sanity and peace of mind. One final note, finding a conspiracy in every horrific act committed that seems to "forward an anti-gun agenda" doesn't make us look smart. It makes us look the opposite.

No one is interested in bullshit piled high and deep. They are dead. He killed them.

Guys draws on two cops, it doesn't end well for him. "Sergeant Gabriel Green and officer Kaylynn Griffin apprehended a suspect in a Palestine, TX Applebees on May 31st." https://www.full30.com/video/dc1c563aa6b106f252dfe6a9d91ffd94?ref=ASMDSS

Very true. I mentioned I was from New Jersey while in Phoenix and at least three people asked me about it.

Cool thanks! So no more bring your own thrower and own it for an afternoon?

Last time I was there it was just tables and you bring your own thrower. Now I understand there are fixed positions. Can anyone give the low down and their opinion?

And it certainly isn't something a "friend" should take up if the friend isn't interested in doing his own research.

If it is Celexa as stated in post #22 then yes, it is an SSRI

So your friend has been taking anti-depressant/SSRI's for two years, states he feels angry and you want him to just stop taking them so he can get a gun? Nice friend you are.

I load my LCR with the Speer .357 magnum loads for snub nose. For range time I use +P. The Speer short barrel ammo in .357 Mag feels slightly more powerful than +P but a lot less ridiculous then normal .357 mag.

A few other things. Get yourself Cycle World's "the Total Motorcycling Manual" and start reading. It isn't nearly total, but it's a good inexpensive primer for what you should be looking at. Next, you NEED to kit up. Especially if you are on the road at 5 am and then back at 1pm. 5 am is dark 'till light and 1 pm is usually the hottest part of the day. This means in the spring and fall you will need to be able to wear warm gear in the am and then less than that on the way home. I wear a two piece zip together suit that has multiple inserts one waterproof/windproof and one is for warmth. I also own three pairs of gloves, one for summer one for spring, one for fall. The reason is, you don't want the temperature or the weather interfering with your ability to ride at any time so with the hours that you are commuting the difference in the temperature ...if you prepare for the cold in the morning it will be too hot on the way home. I prefer Olympia transition gear. http://olympiamotosports.com/products/transition-gear-learn-more/ You want reflectors built into your suit/ gear and you want a high viz color too. I have a hi-viz helmet. I want to be clear here -If you don't commit to the gear you shouldn't bother.

I don't really know. I am in morris plains and plenty of little critters seem to be less afraid of my quiet small machine.

Then deer is what you need to look out for. I see more deer at those hours on my bike than I ever did in my car. Two more things to consider. One is that they are recently finding that starting to learn to ride a motorcycle in your 40s and later is actually a pretty bad idea. I don't know how old you are but I figured I would put that out there. This is been found because the muscle memory and eye scanning that you've done all the time in your car is very hard to unlearn as riding a motorcycle in traffic it's very new to the body. The other is the flip side to that. people that commute regularly are actually found to have fewer accidents

Commuting by motorcycle anywhere is better on an off hours commute. While you might think you will be getting through traffic faster than your car during rush hour, to do so would be to be breaking a lot of laws every day. That said, I bought my second bike for exactly the same reason you state. It is $6990 new out the door with 3.4% financing, which I paid off very early. It is a Honda NC700X, not a high performance bike at all but gets 64mpg regularly on my rides in and out of Manhattan. I don't like using my cruiser to commute because it is too big to get any real benefit in tight spaces and the NC is an upright standard riding position so it helps me look over the tops of most SUV's. Water cooled too, that helps a lot. Don't be afraid of NJ driver's, just keep your eyes moving and wits about you. Your mentality for survival should be your focus rather than trying to ride with the same mentality as driving your car. I find it exhilarating. Better than coffee. This is me, sped up

So the next thing is to see if it keeps you from getting a purchase permit. Knowing it does not for sure would make applying more appealing to those subject to analysis paralysis.

Ha! I'd never pay that much for something that gave me a herniated disk.

BC-NH--Dog Killed-Bite,133 Man charged with killing family dog after bite to 4-year-old Eds: APNewsNow. ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Police say a 33-year-old man killed the family dog after it bit a 4-year-old boy. Foster's Daily Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/1KeDnBt ) the boy was playing with the dog in a Rochester apartment around 6 p.m. Monday when he was bitten on top of the head. Police say Lee Thurston, the dog's owner, put the animal in a kennel and shot it with a hunting rifle. First responders examined the boy; he was not hospitalized. Thurston was charged with felony counts of reckless conduct and cruelty to animals, and unauthorized use of a firearm, a violation. A phone number listed in his name was out of service Tuesday. He was released on $5,000 bail and is scheduled to return to court April 20. It could not immediately be learned if he had a lawyer. AP-WF-03-03-15 2103GMT

I wonder what the standard load would be though? Sure it's great to want to maximize the blast at all times but clearly the designer sees a need for the smaller charges or else he'd just make a bigger grenade. So, throw one single increment grenade or two - how many extra increments should you expect to have left with no way to set them off? Or perhaps you would carry two fully stacked and twist off what you think you don't need in close quarters. Still, that leaves you with extra. I would think if these were adopted they might be given to combat engineers. Anyway, just speculating on something the Army doesn't use lol!

Allows soldiers to use three different increments of explosives. Cool idea but I think a lot of soldiers would end up with a lot of unused explosives at the end of the day http://kitup.military.com/2015/02/army-testing-stackable-grenades.html

The offer has been made to Al Sharpton by the same Sheriff. This article has some follow up to the first video as well. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/sheriff-joe-arpaio-invites-al-sharpton-to-take-the-unwinnable-shoot-or-be-killed-police-test/

I wonder if the times have changed enough in recent months that people might be interested more now. It seems this recent offer was timely and successful. Um, no. What would make you think I think that? LOL! There's more people out there than that guy and the deeply entrenched handful, however.

Absolutely. Additionally, it makes me Feel he is a genuine upstanding man that just had no way to get a grasp on the opposite side of it. Furthermore,I would like to see more PD's make similar offers.

Last place I worked went through the period before and after Newtown. They were the strangest. I had taken one guy to the range and he ended up getting an M&P and used me as a reference. That then started our co workers talking about "anyone that would put a gun in That guy's hands is a moron," in a mostly joking tone. I had hoped I would have more people wanting to go to the range but no one seemed interested to go, just to ask me about stuff. They like talking about the guns I owned and why I chose them (this is the 5 guys in my dept.) I've got 4 handguns, a Mossberg 500 and an old bolt .22 with no magazine. Well before long those same jokers,needing to make jokes, would say things like "going home to polish your gun collection?" And when I say jokers I mean they were seriously just throwing out jokes. It wasn't meant to tease or in any way insult. It bothered me though that this was how they might refer to me outside of the group that I had no problem telling about my guns. Not "dave's a good guy and knowledgeable about firearms" but "yea Dave's a gun nut with 60 guns hahaha!" And again, they didn't mean it that way, but they would say it and once some people hear that, well, we know where that goes. I ended up making any conversation about it much shorter and less in depth. Then Newtown happened. I found out way to many people outside the department knew I had guns. Everyday more knew it seemed. Sure enough, the guys that said I had a gun "collection" had marked me. Everyday for about a week I had a conversation with people I barely knew about the guns I own. Luckily I give off a very mature and responsible vibe so the discussions were civil, but it made me feel a little betrayed. Around where I live I don't talk about it much. One neighbor saw me put my cased shotgun on the trunk one day and he waved. Some time later he decided he had an issue with another neighbor's dog and he told my wife "your husband has a gun right? He can take of that dog." She felt the same way I did - it wasn't funny to talk about shooting the neighbor's dog (I love that dog, no idea why he hates him) and "is this what you think of me ?" So although I get mostly positive reactions when I talk about my ownership of guns, I always look to what revealing it means in the long run.
