Training price comparison/reference
Ya know. I'm no expert and on top of that, I have 4 kids, a job, and a house. There's so much more than cost involved in a training class. -when it is -where it is -class size -number of instructors per pupil When it comes down to it, if someone is offering an 8 hour class...well I probably just plain old can't do it. 4 hours is pushing it when I have to drive somewhere and home afterwards. So, if a class is just plain useless I'd like to know. If a class costs more but it's closer because the instructor travels or just happens to be located near me, it matters more to me. I'm not rich, but my time is valuable too. If I worked a job that included needing a firearm I would consider more travel/time, but then I'd be taking more classes to get different perspectives too and cost still wouldn't be my #1 consideration. All that said, it's nice to have information. Call me lazy, but links to web sites or at least training locations are key too.

National guard taking Camden
Something draws buyers into other areas that sucked at some point. Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, Long Branch, they're still on their way up. People need to believe that government is behind them in their efforts. Even a hint at the government helping in Camden. At the same time the national guard goes through the worst areas there has to be construction starting in the better areas. It's through incentives and concentration on the good points, like location and history (although purhaps not the last 30 or 40 years of Camden history).

National guard taking Camden
Wow, you came up with the very reason why attacking this with liberalism would never ever work, and has not worked. Putting section 8 in other towns is definitely the way to ruin every other town by taking the crime and spreading it out. I'd feel much better about contributing toward Camden by lowering their extremely high property taxes, and by getting rid of the majority of the politicians that are ruining that city year after year. Money can't move in to Camden because nobody wants to pay crazy high property taxes on a burned out hulk in a neighborhood full of crime. Lower property taxes, people take risks on buying property, they care about their neighborhood, then they don't allow their kids to crap where they eat.

National guard taking Camden
It was obvious, to me at least, in 1997 that it was going to take more than state police to handle Camden. I'd be surprised if the national guard saves Camden. It would take the national guard, the state police, and a way to keep the criminals in prison for their entire sentence. Maybe a way to relocate anyone arrested to a remote area of Alaska or something. That might work over the course of 5 or 10 years. The only other solution would be to abandon the city and wall it in.

High powered lasers
I know we're talking lasers here, but ir as a light source can be dangerous too. Your iris closes up and you squint when someone hits your eye with a flashlight, but with ir sources your iris stays wide open so you get it all on your retina. Figured I'd just mention it. Oh yeah, and I know that specific wavelengths can be used to blind fighter pilots and the government does buy shields to block some bands of light as much as possible.

Last Stupid Question for 2011
This makes me want to come up with a stupid question.

The NY Times - ALL CCW Holders are dangerous!
The first thing that pops in my mind reading that story is, "One time at band camp." Hundreds of thousands of CCW holders and they have to dig to China to find examples of bad behavior. How many people were mugged in NYC this year? I'll bet it wouldn't take too much research to figure out how many had CCW permits. How about how many shootings in NYC this year were commited by CCW holders? It's a shame that the owners of the NYTimes couldn't have kids that take over the business AND possess normal functioning brains. People in Tennessee think of NYC as a dangerous place where criminals have guns. I'm not sure it's far from the truth either.

Tennessee woman arrested at WTC Memorial
That's really stupid considering it would be a prime target for lots of press if a bad guy wants it that way.

Ruger Mark III Competition Grip question.
They come with flat sided grips that could be used left or right. The bolt release and mag release are both on the left though...

WTF... banner ads on TV
Isn't that why you bought a bigger TV? More room for commercials of course! I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to see commercials in that space while you're watching your show.

Motorcycle Insurance
I remember from way back that Rider based their rates on engine size and the price difference was big going over 750cc worth of Honda. I switched to USAA a long time ago. They don't insure motorcycles unless you also have an auto policy with them. Just looked it up....$426.80 for the full year, but I also have higher than minimum coverage

Tea Party Co-Founder Gets Arrested In Nyc
So he gets treated just the same as a guy on the street with baggy sweats that are obviously weighted down with a pistol. Except for the arresting part.

How Soon Before We Get A Knee-Jerk Reaction Here?
Lots of criminals use glocks. Those should probably be banned. I'll bet this was a glock just like that Arizona thing.

Just in case you didn't know - stock up on light bulbs!
I'm slowly converting to LED bulbs. They're overpriced, but when the kids leave them on I don't feel it in the electric bill. I'm putting them where kids refuse to cooperate first.

Texan passing through New Jersey sentenced to five years in prison on gun charges
Would there really be an uproar over a light sentence? Did this trial ruin him already? Fugitive, as in didn't show for court, not taking off to Venezuela. Five years is steep. How about paying our state back for tracking him down instead? Our state isn't any safer and we're out a buttload of cash on top of it. Edit: Sorry, I'm tired and suddenly realized I'm beating a dead horse.
