"Why do you want..." sounds far better than "why do you need.." in this context. IMHO

Thanks for the answer. I hadn't checked here for a while so I missed your reply. Is there any information regarding what happened when members asked for applications? Do you still want people to do that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Meh. Hot pockets girl has a twin And they tried being funny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

and this guy http://youtu.be/Z6mXfFTOxbM Man that took too long to get that link to work. Anyway, that window film idea is a great hit with the wife. Not only does it give us some time if some tries to punch in a window, but it also helps keep the house cool in the summer. I am very happy about the idea

Cringe or want? I cringe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which film are you getting?

http://redpanicbutton.com/ for smartphone is an idea.

It's funny but the gut on that guy made me decide that my ground floor PPK has to be replaced with something that could make it through all that fat.

I like this thread topic. Kudos to you sir. My wife had an incident where someone broke into her apartment when she was at home. She and her roomates rented the entire four story brownstone so they thought it was a friend of a person that rented with them. The guy saw them and walked out. My sister was home when one of her old kindergarten play pals that had grown up and got himself a free-base habit came in looking for our stereo. She hid. Because of that one single incident and hearing about my sister's incident my wife continues to balk at getting her mindset to "PREPARE." This video should hopefully show her what a crap shoot it could be. Just imagine all the times there was no nanny cam. As always, I refer back to my days in the military and I am very familiar with the concept of exposure to a concept and a little bit of practice as well as a few agreed proceedures making all the difference in a hot situation. More precisely, Step one is being aware that this can happen. Don't get too hung up on what she could have done based on what you see in the video. Take it for what it is - a violent person walked in and beat an unsuspecting mother. Don't even get to hung up on what the guy actually did. Just know a person can walk right into your house no matter what you do and beat the piss out of you. I don't want to go on about fortifying but it should be considered. What you should do now is start thinking about what you would do based on your own house. Where could you retreat to? Are the phones placed where it is convenient to use when cooking or where you might need to run to if there is an intruder. Should you consider how you could get there, what you would say if you got to the phone, would you be safe when you used it? Should you always have your cell phone with you at home? Is it always charged? things like that. Next is how you could fight back. That is the biggest thing I see when looking at the video. A loss of ideas means act like a rag doll? B.S. She had no ideas, was getting beat and now says it was her plan. She had none. bs. I don't have many answers but the begining of being ready is seeing the need to be ready and accept that a really shitty scenario could happen and make smart observations about how you live and what you could do. Just knowing that in advance can make all the difference. Similarly, my wife refuses to consider what she could use as a weapon or what she would or could do if something like that happened. You can't plan for everything, but you should give what you COULD do some serious and regular thought. Identify things in your house that you COULD use to fight with or use to your advantage. Remember, you know your house better than an intruder. That way if it ever does happen you might just remember something you came up with months ago. My one observation of the video is more of a question to my wife - Imagine if she had the forethought to run away from the guy by getting the table between them. How much time would that buy you and what could you do with it? If the house is laid out similar to ours (and it looks like it is) my wife would have backed through the dining room to get to the nanny cam. Grab a chair and make an obstacle - again then what would you do with those few seconds. Those are starting blocks. Lastly, I leave you with something a fire marshall told everyone in our building once. "this guy went out and bought an escape ladder and put it under his bed. When they found him he was in the bedroom, the ladder out of the box and in his hands, but the manufacturer had shipped it tie wraps holding it closed. He had the ladder, knew where it was and never thought to take it out of the box and practice his plan.

Just the other day going to the LT some cone with a mind of its own fell over into one of the lanes into the center tube and was backking everyone up. So, I stopped, got out picked it up and put in back where it belonged. A motorist thanked me by nearly killing me, honking and shouting what was probably "hey nice job, thanks for clearing that cone that had us backed up for 20 minutes!" At least I think that's what he said.

Wait, what? They have a whole race series built around them! Da fok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ive been up and down the line on bikes. The idea of "upgrading" is familiar, but after a number of years I am loving my new Honda NC700X. I love to commute on the bike. If I was planning on doing rides across the country I would not own it. I have my Virago for that if I need to. So I would advise, seriously consider the kind if riding you are looking to do. Long distance, commuting, weekend warrior. No harm no foul with any of those. But I wish I had considered the bike I was planning to commute with before "upgrading" just because. The Sportster is a great commuter, and although the seat time might be lower per day, a commuter will rack up many more miles in a year than the bike made to take two comfortably to California. I hope this helps. And BTW, I could keep a Sportster for a long long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is clearly to get support for federal gun laws that had not been passed earlier this year. Sidenote; Just Tuesday the friend of mine posted about Virginia allowing people to carry concealed at public swimming pools. He for some reason thought this was going to be legal in New Jersey. A lot of people really do not understand states laws Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. The recent article I posted has actual crash data and it shows at .05 seconds. Either they improved it dramatically since the video or it has been wrong all this time.

.05 seconds is about as fast as the slide operates on a semiauto pistol when fired.

I can't wait to cast my vote for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is wrong, btw. Very. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Holding one at gunpoint," means you are attempting to contain a criminal until the police arrive. If that is a crime in NJ, and I doubt it is, then this is really lala land. But you can grab a kid lifting a pepsi in a store and hold for the police too. Who gives a crap what you tell them while you are holding for the police. If the trigger isn't pulled it is just shouting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love telling that to people. And I add, "and use an iron and make my bed." They also taught me to rappel out of helicopters and drop high explosive on people 12 miles away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
