C'mon now, it's not a contest to find the best shooter. It's a reality show aimed at a male audience.

Had a glass of Alice White cab with a CAO corona. Neither was great but both were good on a brisk Monday night on my deck and the best thing was no bugs.

How likely are you to be in a real life protracted fire fight? If you are LEO or military I could understand your concern.

Lots of kids have problems. Most can keep it together until about 17-19 years old before they "lose it". I think the tight structure of school helps out with that. We all know people that went a little crazy right after high school graduation. In this situation, the kid is showing a lot of problem behavior at 12 years old. Hasn't even hit puberty yet. Things will only get worse in the next few years for the kid. I agree with most of the sentiments expressed above that people with guns don't threaten to use them casually and that the parents need to do more but in this situation, I think the kid is beyond that. Some parents should not be parents. The kid has some serious mental/emotional issues. The school knows this. His parents know this. Now, the police know this. Sounds like the kid is a weirdo. We've all met weirdos. There is no easy solution.

Archie Bunker proposed all passengers should be given guns way back when.

Investors often want a voice in controlling and direction. Being an inventor and being able to run the company are two different skill sets. The business aspect might prove more challenging than the engineering side of things. My company was looking for investors. The investors wanted a few seats on our board of directors.

Cool. One of the first things people will ask is "what was the testing methodology?". I know it's not the fun part of designing/inventing but it's necessary. I assume there are certain criteria the vest must pass in order to be viable? Are those parameters hard to measure? I'm thinking a user requirement of "must withstand a .45 ACP fired from a 4" barrel at 10 yards" but how to measure withstand? Do you need to farm this type of testing out to a 3rd party to demonstrate non-bias to your potential investors. Sound like lawyers and CDAs. Good luck!

You need to develop (or copy someone else's) a written testing protocol. Write down what you're going to do, carry it out, and write down the findings.

Did you take the picture? Beautiful.

My son is recoil sensitive and likes the Model 10 a lot more than the Glock 19. The Model 10 in 38spcl is very calm.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. How can the police arrest you for an unsignaled lane change?

Back when I fished a lot, I would see this type of thing with the higher end fishing equipment. The manufacturers don't want their stuff sold as discount and want the consumer to buy at the shop with best service, not best price. I would still buy it at discount cause the fishing shop owner knew me and gave me breaks even though I couldn't tell anyone as the manufacturer had threatened to cut him off if he sold at discount. Seems like price-fixing to me.

How does Glock or Sig have control over who Lawmen's chooses to sell to?

You are?

I've been wondering about that as I get swabbed every now and then. I made it back home ok, but sometimes when I'm flying out the next day, I'm hesitant to hit the range the day before.

I guess I can get some Prednisone and albuterol but I'm pretty much screwed.

The thread's title is Personal favor vs professional responsibility. Management should define what the schedule change is and manage this situation. What is the policy if no one comes in to relieve the OP? Can OP go home when the shift is over to has to stay to ensure coverage?

Work brought me to Texas, outside of Dallas. I searched for a shooting range and plugged it into my GPS just in case I had time. Well, after finishing up work yesterday the radio said there was tornado and funnel activity headed to the vicinity right where my hotel is located. Apparently it was the worst tornadoes and storms in Dallas area in 50 years. The warning was in place for another 30 minutes so I had some time to kill. Plugged in the GPS and arrived at a shopping strip center. The Gun shop was pretty big having a large classroom, sales area and shooting range. I was disappointed that the rental board had all black guns except for two large stainless revolvers. I was hoping to shoot a steel semi but I saw a CZ p01 and wanted to shoot my first CZ. The P01 reminded me a lot of a Glock 19 in size. The CZ felt a little better in the hand. I signed some papers, paid all of $28 for the range time, rental, eyes, ears, and a box of Federal 9mm. The guy said he cut me a break because the range was closing soon. The shop employee escorted me out to the range and explained the targeting system, asked me if I knew how to shoot a semi and off I went. Targets were pre-mounted on backer boards. The range was very well lit. You cold see the bullets strike the mound at the rear of the range. The target controller was automated. You could program the target for any distance (in feet) you wanted. You want 30 feet you just hit "OUT" 30 and "GO". Off it went and stopped at 30 feet. Is Shore Shot like this? I've only shot at Ready Aim Fire and it's dark as hell in there with lots of shadows and the target system is electric but it stop when you let go of the button. This place in Texas had about 20 lanes. While the P01 felt great. I shot it like crap. Every brass hit me. Straight back. In the forehead, face or chest. It started to make me flinch and anticipate. Two brasses hit my forehead and went behind my safety glasses. As I was shooting right after work I was wearing dress clothes. When I took my shirt off in the hotel there was a brass in my shirt pocket. When the brass shoots straight back is that something I'm doing wrong or the gun?

I've shot all them except the CZ. Good luck seeing a CZ in a store. They are all good guns and except for the CZ, are in the rental section of my local range. Therefore, I assume they take a licking and keep on ticking because ranges don't seem to clean guns all that often and the range kicks out a few guns here and there that don't stand up to the abuse. Head to a range and try them all out. I have small/medium hands and like the Glock19 in the stock setup.

Thank you for your first hand, on the ground, factual summaries.

Very nice. They look like fine crafted leather.

But the patriot gave his life to protect our Constitution which protects Phelp's right to spew his crap. Personally, I find WBC protests at a funeral to be harassment and not protected free speech but the SCOTUS disagrees with me. Seeing as the SCOTUS has the final word I must acquiesce to their decision and embrace KdpPipes's plan above to legally thwart Phelps.

Does the can block the flashlight? Why do you want a faster bullet in a bedside gun? Won't that provide too much over-penetration?

I read a lot of people hate the front serrations and hate the ambi safety. There's just no pleasing everyone unless they make make variations of the same gun.
