rights violated or not??
Has he never heard of the fourth amendment or something? The emphasis was on IF when he said it. He was saying that although he knows he could get the "collar" he does not do it. He just lets them be and never takes any action on it. we were talking about tractor's, as in line haul tractor trailers. The kind that park with their engine running all night because the guy is asleep in it.

rights violated or not??
An NYPD sergeant told me one day quite clearly about this. He said "if we really wanted to bust chops we could go up to any out of state truck with a sleeper cab and check it for weapons - but are we going to do that to every working guy sleeping in his truck overnight in New York City?"

rights violated or not??
It is unfair to ask Pipes to explain NJ law vs the Constitution because they are unexplainable by anyone. What (I believe) he was trying to say was that the man in question may not have been doing "absolutely nothing wrong." People saw the weapon. So NJlaw, The constitution yadda yadda is still as valid a point as ever, but the story has indications that the guy may not be squeeky clean. Someone saw the weapon. Even if it WAS the ex-wife, wouldn't that be enough? A gun to a custody hearing? It is important to see and note things like that. Not that it is enough to make a judgement in anyway, - especially if you are there for a domestic issue such as child custody. In the age of "if you see something, say something" this is not a surprise.

Having worked for cablevision for many years I can tell you that if there is an arguement and the Dolan's and Cablevision are on one side, I believe the other.

My new 500
If you can tell it is plastic you need to tighten it now. I bought a metal one from Brownell's and I can't tell the difference at all once it is at the proper tightness. I only noticed it was plastic once it started coming loose. Grasp the safety with your middle and index finger while pushing on the receiver opposite of them with your thumb. Squeeze the safety against the receiver and then tighten with a screwdriver. 500 safety at Brownells It probably will come loose again, so dont bother with loc-tite until you get the metal one. Notice that the metal one is sold out at Brownells.

I am surprised. Not really a selling point. kind of the opposite.

My new 500
Be aware of the safety pressure. If it has a random detent firmness it means the screw is coming loose. You can pretty much be sure that if it does anything different from tic-ing on or off that screw is on its way out. This was hard for me to notice at first with my new 500. The spring for the detent is pretty strong so it pushes the slide up against the screw head, making it look like the screw has not worked loose. Press the safety down. If it can be pushed down it needs to be tightend. If it gets loose enough the ball on top of the spring will pop out and you will have no detent, making the safety come on after every shot. This seems to be a problem from the plant with some 500's. Mossberg seems to be against loc-tite on that screw, but I am not.

Um, what? Are you saying that those that have paid see a forum that allows political discussion that I don't see?

Yea, no one is getting my humor face to face either. I blame my cutting back on cigars.

Guys.... come on. It would never happen. People would buy it at $500. It was a musing on the issue. If the scenario were to happen as I wrote, there would be plenty of people taking NJ to court over the cost. They are already suggesting that and no one has even voted on it yet.

As Ayoob and others have pointed out, it appears to be an attempt at creating a revenue stream. There are many different angles to this, not just one.

Good stuff. It is interesting how almost all commentators are in some way mixed or at least soliciting discussion on the bill. I think it would be nice if it passed and no one bought one and they HAD to lower it. I know, I'm a dreamer.

Officer cleared in fatal shooting during January traffic stop
I see the point Malusa, but I look at it this way; There is a double standard for cops, period. They can't take a free meal if you offer it. They can't pick a dollar up off a sidewalk without someone claiming it was theft of evidence or some kind of bribe. They are also required to separate and arrest if called to a domestic dispute, stop those that appear to be drunk and confront those commiting violent crimes. None of that is true for a citizen. A cop is empowered to exercise his judgement based on his training. As citizens we are not, and as such we can not merely pick and choose what part of the job we would prefer. I am a firm believer that the guy that pulls a gun on a cop is a great threat to society. The difference as a citizen would be that if I stuck my face in a car there is no way it could be said that the other guy hadn't perceived a threat as you normally don't have a tape of it. I suppose that it could be said that letting a drunk driver drive is letting a threat loose, but I am not going to empty a mag on a guy for that. Maybe a tire. I am happy to help stop bad guys as I can, if ever, but that would stretch it a bit for me. The one thing about that tape that I see recuuring in other tapes like that is from the back, with whatever he was shooting, he had no idea he had neutralized the threat and the car was just rolling off or if the driver was fleeing. I am pretty confident that the driver could have been hit fatally a few times after putting it in gear or even while putting it in gear. But how could he know for sure? <edit> just a note to the web guys, on my iPhone version the edit button does not show up.

Airsoft
I tend to get REALLY aggresive in paintball, play wise. I like the all day games where you go to a zone and sit for a bit, that way I can keep doing "medal of honor" plays just because I can. I once ran out in a field with nearly the entire other side chasing and just fell and did the Willem DaFoe thing. I made a lot of friends with that one hehe

My Motivator
I am glad this was still on the internet. One other great find is "House to House" By David Bellavia. It recounts his experience in the second Battle of Fallujiah. He is no great writer, he writes from the hip and because of that it is VERY real.

N.J. senator pushes law to carry handguns
The NRA has argued the "slippery Slope" to death, why isn't a $500 CCW a slippery slope in our favor? I do not believe it is a 'S.S.' to more fees, some of course, but really, what a flood gate it could be.

My Motivator
Not a slight to those that linked to their favorite poster stills, but I have one motivator that was truly that - a motivator. I was first given this link by a web aquaintence when he learned I was going to Mosul. It was all the more reasonant when we lost our first soldier. Gates Of Hell - Michael Yon I always think of this story when it comes close to Veteran's Day. It is also the day I realized I never wanted an M4.
