bulpup

A 25 inch crossbow would be pretty small, if stock length means what i think it means.

I have been trying to NOT say anything here but I feel I have to. After riding NJ transit home from work with all of the 15 year old Justin Beebere fans, or what ever his name is, post concert,. I have have to say. There are way too many people that have no idea what it is to do anything for anyone. If a dog is showing these nitwits up by working to keep us safe then so be it. I only hope that those little teens and preteens can look at that ceremony and ask themselves, "gee, I am watching E! and crying over some jack a**, and some dog gets a flyover and a 21 gun salute." I would pray that some 15 year old unglues themsleves from the self-centered narcissism that is modern life to think for a second about their country, or even their state. If that isn't enough, I hate to say it but I am reminded of the "true" urban legend, as proven by SNOPES, of a jet fighter flyby. http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/wakeup.asp There is a reason for a flyby and is isn't so your corpse gets to see an aircraft.

I'm kinda thinking this would be a great thread to "sticky" for this forum. Maybe change the title though.

Then there is the perspective that the fact that they don't know is a given. The plus is that there is one lesss that does not.

Odd. I guess they have some random quality issues. I've had mine for 5 years now.

Its better. Its a zippo that lights your cigar. I had one with me in Iraq with a 101st logo on it. Came in handy out in the desert when the wind was blowing. The shell really is all i cared about.

This is NOT me!

B and B eye associates on Rt 10, Whipany. Their Dr. Gutman is a prolific shooter. While he probably does not specialize in prescriptions for shooters, he certainly knows what you are talking about and can advise.

true, but how could he be anything but wary when he is getting info from a jail cell. That said, I hope it turns out okay for him but I can't help but think I just get called a "gun Nut,". The bad kind.

I think it would be good to know what to look for in a used handgun. The people i know that bought new for their first did it out of ignorance of good vs bad in a used pistol.

Funny, just the other morning I was waiting for the train and we (all of us commuters) were treated to the image of a HUGE red fox carrying a little fluffy white kitten carcas in its mouth. How's that for making an animal rights person's head explode.

Good stuff

Agreed. And in this case he also managed to educate the officer about the law, as well as getting his question answered. There is really no minus to the situation.

My friend had me down as a ref for his initial permits and I was never contacted at all. Neither was his other contact. He is now a proud owner of a 9mm Smith.

First, I just want to say, I did not give you that -1. ANyway, the frame rate of the video is not going to show what you were looking for. here is a frame rate demo. As you can see from the videos, the footage of the shooting is probably less than 5 frames per second - more like 1 or 2 frame per second. I that case you would be luckly to catch any flash, slide rack or shell ejection. Here is video shot at a normal frame rate the first shot gives you what you are talking about. The rest of them, no. So if 30 frames per second cant pick it up, 2 per second certainly won't. Additionally, with the resolution so bad you wouldn't be able to even see the case at all. The reason security cameras are set up like this is because of storage if they recorded 30 fps all day long the would need a huge amount of either tape or hard drive space. Usually that has to be kept for a period of time before it is deleted. so the frame rate and resolution takes up less space on a hard drive, making it cheaper to record and keep.

Eyes of a killer that guy has

The movement of the camera is most likely done by the video editors at AP. It looks to me like it is a simple zoom and pan done to the video after the fact. Plus most multicam security set ups do not cut to camera angles to follow action. They record everything from each camera. The video takes the relevant camera shots and presents those only. Would you want to look at 5 minutes of the first camera after everyone left the shot? Check out this forumand look down to drbgaijin's post from Thu, Apr 23 2009 10:04 AM. This video explains how that is done.

As noted by the A.P. regarding the video, he missed with all shots. I believe it looks like the shooter is wearing a black mask, as does the clerk that comes up behind him, because it is a crappy surveilence camera and the man is actually black. I can tell you why I think it is done badly. the man is leaving the store with what looks like a VCR and his weapon out of sight. He originally brandished the pistol in his left hand and then walked out with the "VCR" in his left hand. Seconds pass before the shooter appears. I do not think the robber walked out and lit a cigarrette. He takes his time to aim. That indicates to me that the robber was doing nothing to cause the shooter any alarm, at least to himself. Given the above, the robber was fleeing. This means the shooter was one handing all of his shots as he was leaving. I can't tell you the last time I one handed my pistol. You fight as you train. Meaning, if the robber was a threat to anyone else, would you one hand it?

Survailence camera footage of a store customer fighting back. badly

i think you will find that that is exactly why they chose to do it that way. That way they make a mark on the way out.

Or, how about just look for daylight through the mag well and breech and don't be in a hurry? I get it about racking the slide several times, but it always seems to me that after while actions like the become a rote that is given less and less throught. If I am going to disassemble my Glock I drop the mag and lock it open. One quick second to check yourself mentally with my eyes in the breech is the most useful to me.

And yet no mention at all of the vaguaries of the laws and how municipalities are the front line of delaying beyond a 30 day mandate.

I always click on the dang ad banners too. Something about those AR pics in them.
