:occasion-birthday:

Welcome, be prepared to spend some time and money...

scumbags...

I thought you were "sliding" out of the country..

Score 1 for the good guys.. Nice job to both the parents and the kid that pulled the trigger... HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Two would-be burglars are in police custody thanks to the quick actions of a 15-year-old. One suspect is in jail, and the other is at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Kinzy Evans, 17, is still hospitalized. Charges against him are pending. The second suspect, a 16-year-old male juvenile, has been charged with burglary. Investigators say they aren't sure whether Evans is going to make it. He was shot in both his legs and face by a 15-year-old who detectives say feared for his safety and the safety of his sister. It happened at a home on Royal Place Court in northwest Harris County at around 2:30pm Tuesday. "All he said was, 'Anybody seriously hurt?' and he said, 'Oh yeah, definitely,'" neighbor Renee Thompson said. The blood on the driveway told a burglary-gone-bad story. Deputies say the suspects broke into the home through a back window. From upstairs, the 15-year-old -- who was home with his 12-year-old sister -- heard the breaking glass and grabbed his father's automatic rifle. The burglary was soon over. Family members rushed to the home, but the children's father, Vince Guerra, had beaten them all there. He's a Harris County Pct. 1 deputy constable and was on duty when it happened. No wonder his son knew what to do. "We don't try to hide things from our children, and we try to give them a perspective about the way things are," Harris County Sheriff's Office Lt. Jeff Stauber said. Within an hour, both Evans and the juvenile were in custody; they were caught at a nearby hospital while seeking help. The juvenile was brought back to the scene, where deputies checked him for evidence and collected the rifle. Neighbors backed what the 15-year-old did. "I'm really glad he was able to defend himself," Thompson said. Investigators concluded the shooting was justified. "As parents, we protect our kids, and as an older brother, he was protecting his sister and himself," Stauber said. Neighbors say there have been recent burglaries in the neighborhood. Investigators said that rifle was the personal weapon of the teen's father, the deputy constable. He's been with the constable's office for 11 years and is described as a good officer. There were some questions about whether he'd be liable for the shooting since his son had easy access to the weapon, but ABC13's legal expert says that the 15-year-old's right to protect his home and sister trumps all child firearm access laws.

From CNN... I wonder if we will see some surplus pricing on the "old" version hitting the market? June 23: A new round replaces the current M855 5.56mm cartridge that has been used by U.S. troops since the early 1980s. The M855A1 offers a number of significant enhancements: improved hard target capability, increased dependability, consistent performance at all distances, improved accuracy, reduced muzzle flash and a higher velocity. It's tailored for use in the M-4 but also improves the performance of the M-16 and M-249 families of weapons.

YES! (unless you rob someone with it of course) Whoa, Whoa, hold on, Tony never explained that to me...

I bought mine in NJ from an FFL with a bayonet

Who ever is in for this, please PM me, it would be good to get a list together so we can pair those without shotguns with those that have, as well as inexperienced with experienced. IF you have 4or 5 people that you want to shoot with, let me know so we can get the groups together.. Also, do we want to throw 2 or 5 bucks in a pot and whoever shoots the best wins it???

I might be there tomorrow afternoon as well. I need to get the soon-to-be babies room painted, or at least started. I bring a realestate type sign that i have, metal frame and i cut out some plastic and cardboard inserts for. I staple my targets to that. Bring some eggs, coconuts, melons, water jugs, cd's, kids toys, whatever you want to shoot, like bbk said, no glass.. there was a guy next to us on sunday shooting from a holster, but i would recommend when they call a cease fire (green flag) to put the pistol on the table and only have it on you when the range is hot (red flag).

Have to miss tonight, i'll be sitting here....

WOW... :shock: From their website..... Course: Scout Urban Escape and Evasion While on an international business trip, you are kidnapped and held for ransom. Or, a terrorist attack closes the business district of your city and you find yourself in a dangerous, chaotic fix. How do you stay alive? How do you get to safety on your own? This class provides leading-edge skills to civilians who live or work in challenging urban environments or who may find themselves in a destabilizing urban area during a crisis. Topics covered include covert movement (day vs. night), the judicious use of caches, understanding urban baseline movement and urban awareness training, the use of disguises and false papers/identification, lock picking, escaping from unlawful custody, obtaining and driving local transportation, the use of "specialized" urban gear, and instruction on how to develop urban escape and evasion go-bags. A one day urban escape scenario is held the final day of class. Training will be held as follows: SCHEDULE Please be advised that upon entering the training facility, you will be entering a "safe-house in a foreign country", and the enemy will have surveilance in operation at all times. Training will begin Thursday morning in the hotel's conference room, and run until 6:00 pm that evening. You will be assigned tasks which will require additional time (usually a couple of hours) into the evening after class to hone your new skills. Friday's schedule will be the same: 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, with additional exercises out in the city well into the late evening hours. Keeping an attitude that you are in dangerous, hostile territory all the time you're in the training city will make the training that much more effective. Saturday's exercise will begin at 8:30 am and involve putting your new skills and mindsets to the test in a real-life scenario lasting most of the day until around 5:00 pm. You will be "kidnapped": hooded, cuffed and taken somewhere dark and uncomfortable to start your day. You will be expected to escape, find your own transportation legally using your social engineering skills, and make your way to the first cache location, where directions for a series of tasks using all your new skills await. Meanwhile, expert trackers will be hunting you down, and if they catch you, you will have to start again from a more distant location. Discussion and debriefing will be held after the formal exercise, so any flights out Saturday night should be scheduled no earlier than 8:00 pm. Be advised, therefore, that this training is extremely demanding physically, emotionally and intellectually. You can plan on walking around the city at least ten miles, perhaps fifteen, by the end of the course. You will also experience a high degree of stress that you will be expected to manage successfully. In addition to hands-on skills learned in class, there will be long hours of absorbing as much lectured subject matter as possible. Some of which may be disturbing in content, as self defense and self preservation are the core topics covered in this course. In essence, you will be learning how to save your own life and others' lives in an urban environment. We hope you become an expert in, but will never have to implement these skills! EQUIPMENT Equipment needed is minimal. You should wear casual clothing that will not draw undue attention in this particular city. Camouflage clothing is probably going to draw unwanted attention, so that should be avoided. Rain gear should also be avoided as most people use only an umbrella on city sidewalks. The key, as we will learn, is to blend in with your urban surroundings to the extent that you can easily hide in plain sight. Also, bring a notebook & pen or laptop for notetaking. You may wish to bring extra funds in order to purchase some gear available at the class such as lock pick sets and auto jigglers. But no purchase of gear is necessary to participate and learn the skills taught in class. ACCOMMODATIONS You are responsible for making your own accommodation arrangements. Of course, you're also welcome to stay at any local hotel or family/friend's home. However, due to the very extended hours of the training, you may wish to stay within a half-hour's drive of the "safe house". MEALS You are responsible for your own meals, and you are free to bring food to the "safe house" yourself or to eat at local establishments. Please contact us at [email protected] or 609 668-5384 with further questions. We are looking forward to have you join us and await your arrival at the training "safe house"!
