National guard taking Camden
wow. I thought for sure this would turn out to be a rumor. Jeez. I wonder if that military presence will make Camden residents feel better or worse?

I'm writing tickets. What to expect?
i don't know who you directed that at, but the OP, a parmedic or something similar, is empowered to write tickets for just that reason. Just as firemen and sanitation workers. I imagine that if you were the person going to have to pick the carcasses up off the street you might have a different feeling about it as well. Doing nothing and waiting for the police to handle it is kind of against what I consider my right to defend myself and others.

New Shorts needed, ASAP
Looks like failure to correct firing stance on a blond resulted in a rifle killing itself.

Why do people always forget about insurance companies in these kinds of discussions? PEOPLE being all mad about other people taking risks in a car is a circle jerk. Insurance companies get the laws passed. Rant all you want about people tolerating each other but collective bitching means nothing against the insurance industry's money. Which, by the way, is all built on risk taking.

Good Samaratins save 3 kids trapped in car with a firearm
Meh, the guy is an ex-cop. Therefore there is no reason for anti's to believe he was a mere person exercising a right.

I don't want to sound contrary or argumentative but some of the people I served with in Iraq were actual criminals that have not been arrested for crimes they've committed. eesh, I can't think of those guys with a CCW. Not to mention the complete morons.

Welcome to the world of video editing. Here is the next step in the experience of editing video; Critique Don't ever make me watch 1:25 of a still frame of a flag with the Star Spangled Banner playing. If it happens again we will confiscate your computer

Point is well taken, but even when I lived in NYC I didn't need a receipt. I had my premise permit with my serial number on it. I had to give that back as part of NYC proceedure. Ain' that screwey? "Officer, I don't have my receipt or PPP because I bought it in NYC in 1999 and they don't require that I have one." Of course it is registered to me, but apparently in the O.P's situation that is not what they were checking.

ON A LEARNING CURVE.
So your source footage is on a DVD? That is why you needed the DVD ripper correct? The windows movie maker program has settings for 16:9 and 4:3 that need to be set up when starting a new project. That should be set before anything is done. You should take a look at the file DVD ripper gives you and see if it is letterboxed there. VLC, by the way, is a much better program for handling media. It can be found here; http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I would have no idea what I would even show if asked to "see my papers," on my Glock. I was told when I moved here by my local PD that I didn't need any paperwork. My NYC permit has since been returned and it had my serial # on it. Being asked by the police to see papers on my handgun after being told by the police I did not need any would certainly make me act a little strange, as in "huh? - am I in some sort of Orwellian- Khafkaesque nightmare?" It would seem to me that if the Sergeant really wanted to cover his a** and knew anything about the law he could have easily asked "let's see if this man is a prohibited person or not," and do his own checking. Not saying it is 100% right in the circumstances, but at least he wouldn't be asking for something that may not exist.

Whats a good graphics tablet?
The issue with the small tablets is that the motion in your hand is usually exagerated on the screen. The propoprtions are usually off. You can adjust the proportions, in fact you have to, but a larger tablet allows you to set up for a larger screen easier. Picture it this way. If your wife had a pattern on the full screen of a 20" monitor but had only an 8" WACOM the there would be a greater than 2:1 motion adjustment from pen movement to screen movement. The feel is amplified movement. This would mean she would have to adjust her artistic style to a smaller space. This is not impossible to do, but the finer the graphic you are creating the larger the tablet should be, is the rule of thumb.

9mm case neck too skinny to cut..
Good stuff Dan. That other thread answers a lot. Otherwise, I had honestly not considered the effects of picking up brass at the range. I do find that I want to make sure my new brass is not longer than the rest of the batch I have, and in doing this "level setting" of all my brass I just completely forgot that I keep getting more brass off the floor than I had arrived with. At the moment though, the only thing I own that indicates that the mouth of a case is too small (or rather, smaller than the rest) is the Lee cutter. Somehow I had convinced myself that brass I shot was getting tighter in the mouth. I guess it is most likely just new brass added to the batch.

9mm case neck too skinny to cut..
(To all, I changed the misleading title. It isn't that the case is too short, the mouth is too skinny; as in, the inner diameter is so small the cutting tool does not fit inside.) I dont get much brass off of them when I do, but I am doing a little of my own familiarization with brass and metals and such. The 350 cases I have have been shot out about 3 times each and they are starting to show just a little bit of rattiness. A good 20% have extra to trim, some have had a few nicks in them that get cut right off if the length isn't right. I have been reloading out of a box of 2000 Ranier Leadsafe rounds and I can really see the difference in the "lead-ness" of the round as compared to the first 250 JHP I reloaded. It is so soft that if the neck is to tight I get an imprint in the nose of the round from the bullet seating die. So I have an interest in making the necks at least uniform in the inner diameter. So for me it is more to make sure all are being reset to a normal everything while I work on my loads, crimps and routine. But, Dan, what do you do when you get one of those small one's? I was thinking a wooden dowel? Old School, I am not sure I get how that checker works. Does that check with a round in or out of the case? And on a side note, since many seem to dismiss cutting a 9mm case, what do y'all feel about chamfering? I am not even sure I understand what that is suposed to do.

9mm case neck too skinny to cut..
I have about 350 brass pieces that I have been cyling through my press. Out of those 350 there are some 20 or so that just will not accept the Lee case trimmer. This is the trimmer/sizer that is to cut to the exact 9m Luger size and has a metal post at the blade end that, as far as I know, should be at the diameter expected for the 9mm luger case mouth. I trim after popping the spent primer, which is built into the Lee case sizing die. Most have no issue but I just can't figure out how a spent pistol case can be too small a the opening. Any ideas why or what I can do to fix that? I have tried running them through the sizer twice and got nothing.

CCW in the New York Times
ah. Search function failed me there. However, I would never have seen that in the Gun For Hire section. Much as I like the classes I took there and plan to attend again, I am not sure I would consider the discussion of the Times article about CCW entirely in the realm of GFH. Jus' sayin'

CCW in the New York Times
They are srtating to figure out the mental health thing. http://www.nytimes.c...waeapons&st=cse Some interesting info. Lots of bad police work. Looks like this reciprocity bill is going to be putting gun laws into focus in all the news outlets again. I was particularly interested how there is really no easy way to track how many times having a concealed weapon stopped a crime, but that is followed by how easy it is to track how many CCW holder's have been arrested.

Small aircraft crashed on 287 in Morris County
Indeed, http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/aba/admin_factbook/media/201103.pdf as per page 6 it goes; large air carriers Commuter Air Taxi (charter) and then general aviation. In this particular incident we have a a pilot flying his own aircraft. Even though it was a turboprop, he falls outside of the communter or airline type of commercial flying that have the safest record. There are better breakdowns, but this is what I found on short notice.
