That's one tough old dude. 77 years old struggling with a armed invader. Way to go.

Don't try it on the Lavalette beach, the rent-a-cops get very upset. July 4th 2010, I actually witnessed a cop zip down the crowded beach (>30mph) on a ATV come to a sand blasting stop, to protect us from a 7 year old and her 5 year old sister who were waving sparklers.

At least these guys knew what they were doing. As soon as they saw the cubs they looked around for the mother and said lets get out of here. I'm pretty sure the guy with the gun knew the mother was near as son as he saw the cubs and intentionally shot the water to scare it. If he was actually trying to shoot the bear he would have kept shooting. Other than a few changes of underwear, I think it was a good outcome.

So what's the problem?

Judging from his smile, you are going to have a collection of good report cards and he's gonna have a nice collection of guns.

This state is so in far in debt and she thinks we need to waste 50K on this P.O.S. bill that does absolutely nothing?

I don't know the details of the case but that story pisses me off. The thug who came in to rob the store somehow becomes the "Victim" WTF?

I've been using a Harbor Frieght vibratory unit with rice and lizard bedding, and a capful of Nu Finish. Yeah I know, they are crap but they are cheap. If it dies I'll buy a new one. http://www.harborfreight.com/5-lb-metal-vibrator-tumbler-67617.html Been working fine for 2 years, I usually load it up with 3-400 pistol brass pieces, 3-4 hours and shiney clean.

Doesn't mean it does either. Have you seen it? I would think the guy after going through the trouble to get a CCW, would have checked. Leaving acts of god out of the picture, if a company does nothing about a valid complaint and someone is injured because of it you can be damn certain the company is going to get sued. Ever hear of slip and falls in a supermarket? If the money is so dirty as to cause a valid complaint you can be sure your bank would be issuing gloves to handle the money. Same situation as EMT's. 30-40 years ago no one worried if they got a little blood on them. Until someone complained about the chance of catching a disease from blood. Now gloves are supplied and worn. Not sure if REQUIRED, but they certainly are available. See the trend? 1. Problem 2. Complaint 3. Resolution of problem Good 1. Problem 2. Complaint 3. No Resolution of problem 4. Problem continues Bad If that hired electrician gets out of hand, it is THE COMPANIES responsibility to take care of it. Can be as simple as "Hey you knock it off" or as much as calling the police to have them removed from the premises. If they do nothing, then they are also at fault. And to all those who think corporate policy clears them of liability ask WalMart about their lawsuit with female employees.

Mine also, its posted at every entrance to my building makes it kind of hard to miss.

"He said he knows of no specific Walgreens policy barring employees from carrying lawfully concealed weapons at work." Based on his statement, it wasn't in the policy they gave him or it didn't exist. You are so wrong on this. A company is responsible for everything that takes place in its facility. If a company makes no effort to rectify a problem within its facility, they are in Deep DOO DOO. "The store was robbed by four neighborhood residents, one carrying a gun, in December 2007. Afterward, Hoven said, he and other workers complained verbally to managers about the store's security shortcomings. He said nothing was done." Example: Electrician is hired to do work in a building. He is wearing a shirt that says "Hey baby want to sleep with me". This is seen by a female employee who makes a complaint to HR. Head of HR thinks this is a funny shirt and does nothing to rectify the situation. Sexual discrimination lawsuit follows HR guy is canned and company settles for big bucks. When the Walgreens was robbed previously and management did nothing to rectify the situation (ie a Guard) they opened themselves up for lawsuits for not providing a safe place of employment.

I'd kinda push for a least a first steps course. I'm pretty sure Gun For Hire runs a "Ladies night" introduction to shooting. Maybe she'd be more ammenable to that.

I guess Walgreens doesn't do a very good job of letting there employees know the policies. Your comments go back to the "Criminals don't follow the rules". I pretty sure Walgreens also has a policy about pointing guns at people also. Are the BG's going to be fired also? Check your employee policy about hostile work environment. See how long you'd have a job if you started threatening other employees. See how quickly your company would be sued if a outside contractor started threatening employees and management did nothing. Walgreens did nothing to ensure the safety of there employees. Yes they may be able to legally fire him, but each and every employee there should sue Walgreens for Hostile workplace infractions.

Odessey by Magnavox, we had the shotgun accesory

He just bought a house in NJ. He can't afford it.

+1 and Congrats

Jonf has pretty much got it covered. If you plan on changing calibers get collars for each of the dies. This makes changing back and forth between calibers much easier. I've found that this wrench is very useful when locking dies in and making setup changes. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=154534 During setup make sure you set the decapping pin low enough. I have had partially removed primers stop the rotation of the shell plate. MAKE SURE THERE IS NO POWDER IN BETWEEN THE PRIMER SLIDE GROOVE!!!!!!! Even 1 small ball of powder in there can keep the primer from lining up properly with the primer hole in the brass, making seating a primer tough.

Actually I did, and Jack was right. It isn't you must obey a cop in all but a few situations. It's the exact opposite. A cop can only order you around in a LIMITED set of cicumstances without breaking the law himself. Situation: Man is walking down street. Cop: "Stop I wan't to talk to you." Man: "Have I broken any laws?" Cop: "No I just need to talk to you" Man: "Have a nice day"

If as you said there was a complaint and a description, THEN the cop has a reasonable suspicion and things go differently. That's not what happened here. Man walking down the street with gun on hip seen by cop, has cop's gun pointed at him and has his life threatened. This particular group of cops were way out of line. Even the Philly PD's lawyer told the reporter the cops had not been trained (WTF?)

Her grandfather, great uncle and uncle all were in the World Trade Center Complex on 9/11. Fortunately all made it out ok. My family does not have a lot of tolerance for these terrorists and their ilk.

Cops were outta hand (if report is correct). They had every right to ask to talk to the woman, and then enter they weren't allowed to talk to her. (exigent circumstance) They had no right to enter the apartment without a warrant the exigent circumstance. The court completely F-d it up with its finding of "Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry." This decision won't last long.

As soon as she walks in she sings the Sponge Bob theme "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" Me being the doting Dad, answers "Sponge Bob square pants" Daughter responds with "No silly, Osama Bin Laden"

No, This makes perfect sense. Smokeless powder burns under heat but EXPLODES under heat and pressure. The wooden box will burn and release pressure so there is no explosion. Black powder is another story.

Definitely agree. Cops called because friend believes he is suicidal. He then comes out of house and points a gun at the cops. Is there really any surprise at the cops actions? The cop should be reinstated as soon as he is psych ok'd. By this I mean once he can cope with having killed someone, get him back on duty. I don't see him or his partner as having done anything wrong. Now as to the ambulance chasing lawyer, what a POS.

Congrats, Congrats, Congrats
