Screw that. My first thought would be domestic dispute.

One of the best thread topics in the last year. This information is something I always think i will have the time to figure out, but in reality we all need to have sorted right now.

I agree with so much that has been said here. I spent a lot of time discussing this with family tonight and I just wanted to add one thing that for me personally is very important in this- I feel that if I was was being followed in an unfamiliar place it would be far more scary than seeing someone I have never met walking in my neighborhood. It seems more reasonable that I might never have met a neighbor's kin and therefore NOT require a call to the police emergency number. However it would be rare for me to feel comfortable being followed in the dark. So that is my conundrum. I personally would feel far more threatened by being followed than to see a person that might possibly be my neighbor's new boyfriend. So when I hear about this guy being pummeled, I kinda get why he would be.

He approached and a fight started. Zimmerman alleges he was attacked. Why it started is not as clear based on the testimony.

Every time I read this timeline, and try to think on both sides of what is happening, it sounds like too people standing their ground and only one had a gun. One guy sees a suspicious person and follows, one guy sees a suspicious person and asks if he is being followed. Both are party to a confrontation that can both be justified under the law. If Martin hadn't been shot he may well have had a case for standing his own ground. There is nothing that says Zimmerman didn't start that fistfight either. Everyone assumes Martin did. Yea, Z got his face beat up, but then again Martin could very well have felt threatened, been in a fight because some guy following him made him feel threatened, scared the crap out of him and he started winning the fight. Gun wins. Secondly, doesn't seem odd that you can CCW, join the neighborhood watch and be a self appointed armed guard? I am sure some see nothing wrong with that, but to many people it is the definition of vigilante.

Gun rights are always at risk of bad pr by the latest jack a**. That is the one thing that can't be changed by a law - the inherent jack assines of a jack a**. But "stand your ground" is a good law for national debate as long as those that enacted the law can get the point across on why SYG is better than "run away.". The point of the law is not to put every self defense act at risk, to not have to worry if your fear can be turned over in a court room to look like a criminal act.

nice collection of hardware. A Bronze and a Silver Star, your dad is a verifiable hero.

Belly laugh right there

Is her friend also?

How cool!. I first saw this at BNCOC at Ft. Dix. It was shown to us by the Sergeant Major of the school. I hope Spc. Braxton has found a rewarding carer at it.

Veterans need to leave that acting stuff to the professionals. As a broadcast professional and combat vet, i cringe at what soldiers have made on their personal computers trying to be funny. However this one is absolutely a classic

In the long run you just have to find another reference. The blah blah blah (hopefully) meant nothing to your wife's determination. I hear the venting and feel the pain, but it means nothing really. Maybe that is not true; The bright side is that she asked first and found out who NOT to send a reference letter too. Kudos for being on point and asking first.

because it was more than that and because without a badge and a uniform you look like some j/o trying to run a scheme. And like pipes said, it sounds like trying to play cop is the issue, not saying "hi"

Wait, we're upset with this now? She's kinda cute though.

Aluminum tactical pen. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/870646/smith-and-wesson-tactical-pen-aluminum-black All of this requires your mother to be alert and fairly spry. But having nothing is not an option for me. O.C. plus a pen or one of those skull craker flashlights.

It went nowhere.

So I guess the trick is knowing what states have similar laws and do not accept a non-resident with a FLA CCW.

Hehe. Everything on it says Toyota. I bought it from my brother in law for $2k. It was only last year I told him it was a Toyota Corolla and he was quite surprised. 22 years old and only the seat backs are an issue.

Cool. Thanks for setting me straight guys. Now, how premium do your bullets need to be for that accuracy? Would you take Hornaday XTP reloads to a match or some other cheaper hollow point?

Interesting. I had thought to myself that no matter what I would use aprofessional round for defense just because of the reliability. I only have 30 total HD rounds in the house; two mags worth. I chose not to buy HP's to reload after my first 250 because I thought it might look bad having 1000 hollow point bullets sitting around the house. In this state that could mean something to a jury as well. 1000 Flat tip FMJ probably could be construed badly as well, but at least it doesn't have that extra boogey man BS attached to it like hollow points.

I am relatively new to relaoding so I have only purchased two bulet types. I started with some Nosler HP's but found the Rainier Lead safe online to be much cheaper. They don't have an exposed base and I really like them. But I am interested to know how a hollow point makes a cleaner hole?

Just a musing before I nod off. I was at a place Friday that sold Hornaday XTP hollow point pistol bullets for reloading. I am just wondering why? No one reccomends reloaded ammo for defense. This place was in PA so maybe it is for hunting?

Yea, plus it was probably before his first cup of coffee.

Buncha geezers....
