I am in need of 3 Experienced Sales Executives pronto. Solid company, very dynamic products and opportunities to hopefully prevent people and business getting hurt or ruined during a disaster.

We have 14 office around the US and I need help. While I am working on opening operations in India, I need people to keep the pipeline full on the US side. In February, I will be traveling to India as part of the US / DHS Trade Mission to India to help their country be better prepared for the numerous threats to their country and businesses.

I know there are uses for MP's, which are designed for that purpose and for use with two hands. I'd take one in a tight crowded / confined space with a suppressor for short engagements. An automatic Glock in a standard format, the only use is to become a YouTube legend. I still lean towards a real compact AR in a rifle caliber. Them pistol rounds have a lot of limitations.

I used to a lot. After Top-Shot, I broke them out again and did some practicing. I let my 11 year old son try his skills and he couldn't believe how hard it is. I like schooling him on X-Box / Play Station world versus real world.

Oh that is GREAT. I have to bust his stones.

You never met my friends or the bikers I used to ride with or my attorney or fraternity brothers who are older then me or any number of conservative surfers I surf with or...don't believe the stereo types. A real good friend has a Medical Marijuana card for his chronic pain in his feet. He lives outside SanFran and has a solid reason for it. He told me he was probably the only person in the clinic carrying medical records and x-rays, while wearing a suit and wingtip shoes. The bastard even has a card that if it gets punched 12 times he gets a free bag. Only in Kali. You can't get anymore conservative then this guy.

I did Dick's for lunch today. Don't ask, don't tell...(good sale on shotgun shells).

Your moving away was you listening to your instinct called fear. Fear is good, it keeps us safe. Listen to fear, but don't be ruled by it. The book, The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker explains it all.

Absolutely suppression fire is good use of full-auto. But I look at that as part of spraying and praying.

I am still trying to grasp why you would want to have an automatic pistol. I mean WTF? Controlling a rifle in full fun mode is difficult enough, never mind a pistol. And when I mean control, I mean getting hits on target. Not spraying and praying. In my last class somebody let me run a few mags from his 9mm AR in full auto. It takes some practice and you have need to have a different stance then what you typically would have knocking out a few short bursts. I remember the first time I shot a M16 in full fun mode during basic, I kept thinking it wasn't like on TV.

Oh, this is so on my list of places to hit. Thanks for letting me know about this.

Cheers!

Carl needs to step away from the CTD catalog and take some classes instead of relying on technology so much. I'd love to make him lug that thru a two to five day class. The more I shoot, the simpler my AR becomes. I'm down to a Surefire, a Ace Skeleton stock and iron sights and am very happy. 0 to 200 yards without taking too much time to aim is all you need. Unless you are shooting varmints or Haji in the desert, I don't plan on using a 223 for anything beyond that...that why we have 308's. I bet I could sell him an Octo-rail because it is twice as good as a quad. He needs to take his med's.

No brain, no pain.

I would like some details on the place in Lehigh for the clays. Might have to take the ride on day.

A buddy of mine who lives in Millburn is fuming because he can't get his permit application. The PD told him he has to fill it out in person at the station. The problem is the Chief or the person who is supposed to be there at the designated time, is never there when they are supposed to be. He has left work three times to get it down and each time is met with an excuse.

This is pretty funny. I really didn't put much thought into what this was (lacking enough brain energy for cognitive thoughts lately). I think it is severely flawed however. I have a positive rating and that just goes to show how flawed this is, because I am the one your parents warned you about. Psst, want some candy?

Thanks for the invite. I have a crazy schedule and Saturday's are the toughest day for me. If I have an window of opportunity to join in at another time, I would be a last minute add-on. I put the stocking schedule on my Outlook / BlackBerry Calendar for motivation to get out into the field.

I swear squirrels and chipmunks are bacon flavored by the way my dog goes after them. Having lots of oaks on my property, she gets her fair share of tree chickens. In Costa Rica Iguana's were the best tree chickens. Back on topic...I wonder if anyone REALLY considered the bullying aspect? Schools hate to admit that a bullying situation exists. By law they have to prevent it and rarely do. On a side note...Growing up next to Newark, (not to far from the Bullet Hole), I used to carry a Crossman full sized 22 cal air pistol that looked like a 4" 38 revolver. That thing saved my butt a number of times.That and larger folder...

I just booked an afternoon pheasant hunt up at Indian River for 11/23. I'll be able to take my dog out to see how she does with my half brother who is coming down from Canada. 12 birds should make a good afternoon. Once I see how my dog does, I hope to be able to hit Clinton or Black River in early Dec to Jan while they are still stocking. Weekday trips coming in. Business goes dead post Thanksgiving and then I get to concentrate on hunting. I love shooting things before the holidays. It helps me deal with family over the holidays.

Not looking so good with the weather. Thinking aloud here...Can we use any other type of backing on our target boards instead of cardboard? I'm thinking I might switch to the corrugated plastic project boards they sell in Xmart or Staples. Waterproof and should hold up longer...I have to check our regulations on this one.

I've seen more lives ruined by alcohol directly and indirectly then the hard stuff. After about six months being stationed in Alaska I went cold turkey as I felt myself starting to slide into a daily habit of getting buzzed like the majority of fellow Toastie Coasties and locals. Careers down the crapper, marriages and professional reputations as well. I've also seen drugs ruin a lot of lives too, but not nearly as many as booze. So, 'most dangerous' to yourself or society is purely subjective. I belong to LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition because the drug was is BS and the only way to defeat the Mexicans, Afghanistan, Meth-Labs, etc., etc., etc. is to legalize, control the quality and tax it like tobacco and alcohol. The Coast Guard was busier after the repeal of prohibition because they were chasing people for tax evasion instead of illegal booze. The current program and laws are an obvious failure, so let's give legalization a run for twenty years to see what happens. If you study why cocaine and weed became illegal it was a complete hoax. Imagine if we made something illegal because we had the belief that drugs 'made Negros crazy and increased their desire for white women'. Not my words, but essentially this is paraphrased from the logic they used in the beginning of the drug war. Moderation is the key. Like food, speeding, women, drugs...learn you limits and enjoy your lifestyle in YOUR home, not out in public where your choices and stupidity can kill innocent people.

Tagged for later when I have more time to read...

I need some range time so it looks like later this week I'll be hitting the rifle range primarily and maybe a short stint at the pistol to keep the muscle memory working.
