Yea, because angry mobs and lunatics are the only people out there.

Neither did their open carry. Actually made them the target for a lunatic, so it's a wash. So one guy killed four cops once and that erases the rest of what happens to cops in the world? Sure, cops are frequently killed with their own guns, but they also respond to all kinds of reported crimes. But you got nothing like what a uniformed PO has to back you up. For a criminal that thinks (they exist) that is a huge deterent.

Hard target vs soft target. Simple psycholgy really. Force projection is sometimes just putting your war face on, the rest is not the threat but the promise.

The radio and the partner.

Personally I think taking your familiy to a Memorial Day or Veteran's Day parade instead of a barbecue should be done. The local vets that get out and march like to think people are remembering them by actually showing up to watch.

Yes, my old Army Reserve artillery unit did that once at Fort Indian Town Gap and scary as it was (seven 105mm HE rounds into some woods off the side of a road) they just refused to let them back on the range. You got one "strike."

Now that's an idea. This kid I knew in high school had a Judas Priest "Screaming for Vengeance" eagle on the hood. That would be awesome!!! ; ) Or some Peter Max, or some desert camo. Now you got me thinking! I think it is more for the tooling up. Years ago I got a compression gauge for the motorcycle and as good as it is to have that, I only have one motorcycle so I have checked all of two cylinders with it. Not much of an ROI. So for the car clutch I would have to invest in getting the car up off the ground to work on. Also, the Clymer's and Haynes manuals for this car are the worst I have seen. They doubled it up with the Nova. Very confusing. I am all set to take the engine off the bike and change all the gaskets plus it'sclutch come Spring.

1990 Geo Prizm (Toyota Corolla). Everytime I think I can part with it I realise that the amount of money and time it has taken to keep it running is about 2% the cost of a new car. If the clutch goes I will be doing nothing to fix it if the price is way out there. Most else is fair game. So far my most remarkable repair, as far as my family is concerned, is the relining of the roof liner that had been drooping. I am most happy with the complete dashboard breakdown and replacement of hoses and environmental controls. If, and I mean IF, it takes on the appearance of one of those forever dusty looking rust-buckets that you see of cars that age I might have to let it go just on looks. But I keep the paint up and touch up the scratches as best I can.

Not that you mentioned it, but if there is an inkling of an idea that you might go hunting with such a rifle one day, none of the above is legal to use while hunting in New Jersey. I know you didn't mention it but I thought I would put it out there.

Now that's high comedy! And not a single taser either! I love the guy with the paintball gun LOL! Funny thing about it is how they will all talk like they were just in "their Kent State."

hmm. I wonder if stopping to watch a race would be considered reasonable on my way to sporting clays with a Mossberg in the trunk...

the season pass will give admission to the rergional superbike meets. I'd like to see some of that. I think the seasonal is the only way to get admission to them, but I could be wrong.

Killing Joke -The Wait -The Great Cull -Pssyche The Clash -Brand New Cadillac -Death or Glory The Killers -Reasons Unknown Simon & Garfunkle -Cecelia The Who -Can't Explain ELO -Mr. Blue Sky Jesus & Mary Chain -Head On Beck -Loser I think this is what came up for me on the iPod. I was napping on the way in.

I just want everyone to be prepared.

Two road courses back to back. Major Events Grand Am Road racing Racing and Rolex sports car. An ARCA weekend SCCA and AMA SUPERBIKES' final race of the season plus a few others. http://www.njmp.com/

Are you sitting on the ground in that first pic? I am checink from my iphone on the train so i can't really see.

To re-itterate using the above from _NASCAR, the behavioral questions that Human Resources use today are meant to probe. Your best bet is read up on interview questions and start formulating a response ahead of time. Always look for the bait, and find a way to answer that sounds good. Don't let a word or inflection lead you. These days,if you think you can just punt on a job interview you will be caught a** out by the other six people that have been out of work for a year that have done nothing but practicing and having interviews.

This is a typical but not exactly standard question. I call it one of those easy tee-ups. The answer is "it wouldn't affect me at all." Done. The best thing to do is start looking up different lists of top interview questions and start practicing your answers. Just like with reloading, look at more than one source. Lists of questions for supervisory positions are different from the standard lists. If I were interviewing you and this easy question took you by surprise, you hadn't fully prepared. Such is the nature of job interviews today.

I agree to a point. Through my Army and occupational life I have to say that sometimes hearing something once can stay with you for a lifetime. I have seen it time and time again. Example, I read a Mayoob article that said something along the line of "practice dry firing, but before each trigger pull check the breach and make sure it is clear. If you wait more than 2 seconds after to pull the trigger, check it again." That was a great idea. It was a great habit to build. Now I always do it. No one forced me to do anything, I just had information presented to me that made sense and I did it. I have used that and other things to spell out actions and concepts to my squads and Platoon. I use it at my job. I can't force anyone to learn, but I need to put out the information. If it isn't put out, it might never be heard. In the case of CCW instrucion, using your situation, now the only people getting the information are the ones seeking a class. Those that don't may never get any information. That's just the NCO in me - Information has to be put out.

I believe this is true. This is likely some protocal for drills that someone thought should be a mandate. Probably just poorly outlined to Ray, or just not thought out. In any case, I sure wouldn't be doing that in a real active shooter scenario, and I would let them know it so's they can come up with a smarter plan.

Don't bother getting an answer from the school. Talk to the police. They will be the ones coming through the door with the guns. I would bet they have a more useful answer than the people on the school payroll. (If it were me I would looking to give the police a master key and any kind of floorplan). I am no expert in these kind of thing, but I do have plenty of experience with people with authority in certain organizations making arbitrary decisions about safety just because they feel they have to have an answer for everything.

What size is your tin foil hat

I am rapidly startign to think the I should be hunting in New York, not New Jersey. THanks for the info Parker.
