bulpup

I am PS 3 only. Any one else should clan up I think. Wolfenstein only makes you sound old if you are talking about the 2D version

If you are thinking about picking this up DO IT!!! I played 5 hours and I am hooked. Grand Theft Auto in the wild West. Guys draw down on you, lasso guys and drag them on horseback, and at any given time a buck will pop out for you to shoot and sell for profit. Pretty nice so far.

kind of what i was hinting to.. knock knock.. its the police.. open up.. ok what do i do at this point.. i have done NOTHING wrong.. if they have a warrant.. they will be kicking in the door announcing that they have a warrant? if they don't will they just go away? with the way things are going now a days when the door is kicked in at 3am.. in a home where i have done NOTHING wrong.. own NOTHING illegal.. well what then? do i assume that they are criminals and shoot? what if its the wrong house.. what if they ARE cops and shoot back? SO many variables.. Ah, I get it. Instead of saying "who is it?" you say nothing. Might not be the perfect thing to do but certainly hard to find a tactical flaw in it. However, at 1 am I am awake with at least a TV on. Might be good to get a small camera on the entryway too. If I saw guys saying they were cops that were not in full uniform I believe it might be best to call the police anyway to be sure. The part about the police radio is intersting. They would hear the radio dispatch to your house. I would love to hear what the LEO's on the board think.

The follow up article leads me to believe that he may not have been sure they were fake until much later in the incident than when the door opened. If he had a pistol with him and he let them in thinking they were cops they would have taken it too.

It sounds like a couple of underlings trying to act like they have some authortity. City council... pheh This sounds a little more dramtic and real. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/phoeni ... 2010-05-18

I suppose so. Took 78. 1.5 hours one way isn't so bad but I sometimes can't find that amount of time. Where is the range?

Need a philips head to screw her

I believe the time before the next renewal has been extended a few years. I may be wrong though.

I have been using one of these http://www.strongcasebytnb.com/SS.php only because I have it handy

I may never eat ham again. Thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Log9LS7MrWk

"look like two big christmas hams..."

Ah, should have searched for "GAMO whisper" instead of "silencer air rifle." This state is really not fun.

Took my first trip to Cabela's and saw one of these. My guess is they are illegal in NJ? On a side note, why didn't anyone tell me they sold cast iron skillets there? That actually helped my wife accept it was a worth the trip~!

Thanks Dude. It was lots and lots of work. I figure that 99% of people have no clue of what it takes to go on a treasure hunt for parts and then restore everything to working condition. There are maybe 500 max. of these bikes left out of 37,600 and about 13,600 had the "rare" military parts.You can find a bike for sale from time to time but you will never find all of the original military parts on one like mine has. And here I am thinking it would be hard to fix up a 1970 Honda. Nice one for sale near me but I don't want to have to scrounge. Anyway, here is the bike I tried to sell 3 times and got cold feet each time.

So one is not out of the question for you? cool!

Yea, I don't know if I can post my Yamaha after that Beemer. Someone post something else. I am not worthy.

I have to say the thread has taken a much better tone than I thought it would. I am fully on the side of those that do NOT want to do any harm other than that which is necessary to protect myself or my family. I come from a family of mental heatlh practitioners and was hearing discussions between my parents about the latest mental patients they saw and what they did from the age of 7. Due to that I am very much in fear of plugging a guy simply because he was off his meds and thought my house was the train station (it happened to one of my mothers' patients, the home owner was not a gun owner so there was no question as to the outcome). But seriously, the point of owning a handgun started with protecting myself and my wife, not to kill anyone. If that is the end result so be it and I am not afraid of a lawsuit despite its potential for financial ruin from stupidity on the jury's part. I believe in myself. I would DEFINITLEY be shooting to stop the threat, but my training would make that a shot at center mass. I believe that is what the LEO's have been saying and have been taught. But there is no way in hell I am going to pump rounds into a guy so that he can't testify in a civil case. That is wrong on so many levels, and if there is anyone that does not agree you might want to check yourself. It isn't about money. I would also like to add that the story of the cop getting sued for shooting a man trying to crush him with his car was thrown out of court. Perhaps there is a margin where it could have gone either way, but you can't read that story and say the guy got sued. He didn't. That is what I expect to happen in court; the judge thinks.

Thanks again. However the reason I posted this story is more in line with what would be going through your mind if a life or death situation existed. and this was in response to MedicYeti's thread about sniping to help a police officer. I am the kind of guy that woudl first say "MedicYeti was there and made the call based on what he saw, not what I think I should be looking for (as far as cues). In other words, I don't want to be the guy in the crowd yelling "DON"T DO IT" while another man dies simply because we are taught one blanket thing to do in an emergency, like the "don't move him!" people in what I wrote. I look at it like this. My story was hind sight and real, so it had all the right details that everyone could agree it was the right thing to do. Yeti's is the hypothetical so when you read it it is subjective and your 'impression' of what he wrote is where you start to decide if it was right or not. I love the hypotheticals, to a certain extent, because you start to think. I like to hope that the hypothetical situations I put myself in are not tainted by my thoughts that I am superman, but rather the exact opposite; that I am a man getting older day after day. Only then will I start to think that I might come out on top. This is in direct contrast (I hope)to the criminal that thinks " I will just point the gun sideways and I will scare the money out of them." Stephen Coonts ("Flight of The Intruder") wrote in his memoir/book "Cannibal Queen" that when preparing for battle on Okinawa he told his men "now is the time to fantasize. Think about any odd situation you might find yourself in and how you would react to it. Every movie bad situation, except now it is you and your abilities, not a superhero. If you don't think about it now you won't have time to think about it then."

That helps a LOT! How do you know so much?

this is where I am at. I want to be more smash and grab protected. I am not one for making it easy just because a professional burgalar can get in anywhere. When I was a kid a guy my bro thought was afriend came in and took a VCR just by punching in a glass pane on back door. If it had been a solid door he would have just left. Anyway, some good thoughts. I have to think on this a bit more.

This is typically equipped with the option to insert a padlock. I suggest you do so. The Fire Department (the only people who need to use that switch) have all the necessary equipment to remove a padlock in short order. Certainly, a well seasoned burglar would as well. It just prevents your typical meth-head from dropping you into darkness. Biggest concern for me is the IO box. Phone is through a cable modem. I'm already rethinking that. It good to know that I don't have to provide acces to that switch for the electric company.

I'll answer a bunch in one post. A handgun in a safe: already done, long ago. I am in Morris plains I was very wary of filling out an online survey from either place for fear of the sales call flood. Thanks for the confirmation. I hate that crap. I am not sure I want to have a full blown setup just because it is a little overkill in my situation. However the site survey consultation is very appealing. I have very specific questions about certain physical features of the house that make me nervous, ie rear windows that are all but hidden from view and a master power cut off switch that is on the front of the house( apparently this is done to code? Bizarre as hell if you ask me). I have an empty house on one side of me for now and a drunk with a family of freaks on the other. Both of those situations won't last forever but for now the watchfull neighbor is sadly non-existant. Totally different from where I lived in Queens. I would like fire protection too. The idea of the the fire department being called in the event of a fire is very appealing, and a good way to reduce my insurance payments.

I am not sure I am reading this right. Upsell me in what sense?

I am looking get one or the other installed. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with either one? I don't count Slommin's horrible commercials as a bad experience
