Perfectly acceptable if everyone is going to buy up C and D batteries. 10 minues tops for me,, then you keep it going and it takes nothing.

Hmmm. Well I was more interested in pointing out that flashlight like that exisisted. I do like that model you linked to though. Thinigs is, all anyone has to do is do somehthing like plan a hunting trip or go sailing for a week and they end up with nearly everything the red cross has reccomended for this sort of thing. Most of my prep work was clearing stuff away, cleaning out the gutters and getting the in-laws on the road. After they left things started looking up.

I was wondering who would be the fisrt to bring that up

For future reference, re. D batteries; Shake flashlight

My wife was (according to her pilot) literally wheels up out of JFK when it hit. The pilot said they held the plane behind them due to it.

I didn't think anyone still believed that.

Whaaaa?

Dude you work right near me. Who told you visible swaying? I know I felt it swaying.

Get someting with some history or at least something different. A Walther PPK? 1911, sure. Why not a wheelgun? Everyone loves the Ruger MkIII and II. Talk about cheap to shoot. My "3rd" ( I like the term) handgun will be a single action cowboy pistol, just 'cuz

Officer Used Lessons From Virginia Tech To Halt Fort Hood Shooter Stopped with a handgun on an Army base.

You can run down an active shooter with a pistol too. Is active shooter really the biggest threat to the public? I am not against cops having AR's, just asking.

Roger that. Be prepared to be more aware of it. Anyway, good luck to you. BTW, what is a 6324? The best words of wisdom I can give is say what everyone told me, basic training and boot camp are a mind fugg. Don't take it personal. Go to it and accept all the challenges. You will like what you see on the other side.

The C in C is your C in C.

It is interesting to hear about some many people having such similar experiences with guns I own and not liking them. I do own a MkIII Hunter and find it so excellent it might be a little boring. That said, I LOVE it! I also own a third gen Glock 19C. But the economics of the rounds I fire got me into the .22LR pistols and hand loading. I reload 9mm, I positively love shooting the Mk III. But I have a "shoot for fun but do not introduce bad habits," mantra. Meaning, I Love the MK III but it can only be charged with the finger tips. Most SD training I have read describes that the "gross motor skills," of the racking the slide with the full grip of the left hand (for righties) is good practice for if/when you are under a flull blown life/death situation with adrenaline flowing freely. The P22 racks like a home defense pistol. So the 9mm reloads gives me enough gun time with the Glock without worry of the cost of bullets. The .22 MKIII is very cheap to shoot and helps shoot no matter what (man I wish I could partake in the "hunter" art of the Mk III hunter). With that in mind I like the P22 in that you can rack with the palm and shoot cheaply with .22, keeping all that straight in the muscle memory of the new shooter. Basically, strictlty for the ammunition economics, I think most should have a .22 pistol AND their serious HD handgun of choice. Practice being the most important part of your reaction to a real L/D situation, you don't want to have your practice suffer because your SD gun's ammo is too expansive.

if you can't link to the actual law that states this thing about informing someone you are armed then you should retract this post.

I see. I read it as the felt recoil was the problem. Grip is a little different. One thing to consider, Most of the people I know that love Glocks dont like the grip on the Sigs and vice versa. Maybe that would be one to try. Also, how does she rack the slide? Over the top with mostly the palm is easier than with the fingers. Lastly, although it isn't considered a self defense calibre, see if you can get her hands on a Walther P 22. Those are a hoot.

Cherry Ridge's shotgun range has a rack for you to set up for patterning. If you go during a weekday it is generally lightly used and you could set up and fire away all you like. Sometimes it is empty.

Just a point of interest for me, is your G17 a fourth gen?

great! Sounds much more like what I thought it would be too. At least this super will know that what he is seeing is illegal and not just sit by. Thanks again for the responses. The thing that gets to me is if I didn't have access to a wrench his mirrors would have been useless. He would not have been able to ride home with them flopping in the breeze. The other is that once touched the rider would have no idea what other potential hidden damage has been done.

Thanks for the responses. My thoughts too Shane. This is beause when we got there the super of the building across the street said he saw the guy do it. We asked why he dind't call the police or take a plate number and he said he didn't think it was illegal and that he see people do it all the time. If it were me, and of course I have to be restrained if I came up on someone moving my bike, but if it were someone else's I would call the police and tell them that someone was trying to steal it. But I would feel bad calling the police and telling them that if I knew they were not actually trying to steal it. I suppose I could tell the super that if they see someone doing that to call the police and say it is a disorderly person or something. Cant' expect him to confront anyone.

No. He came upon it well after the guy had moved it and then left.

My friend parked his bike in the street. One car moved and i guess the next guy thought he needed more room so he grabbed the bike and moved it. There was no permanent damage but the fairing was knocked out of whack and the mirror stalks got turned around to the point where if I didn't have a wrench he wouldn't have been able to drive home. It seems like this should be at least some form of tresspass, but I am sure there is something that pertains to this that is illegal but I can't think of what.

I am scratching my head here. There are people here that think this school is going to give plumbers and accountants, with zero experience, automatic rifles and do live fire drills like the ones in the video over the course of a weekend? Does that sound reasonable? I learned house clearing by stacking and saying "bang." What would make anyone think other novice's would learn any other way?

Its all in the editing. I bet you anything they gave it to (paid) someone to edit it and the instructors had little input except to say "hey thats's cool! THanks!"
