Here in New Jersey we are ALREADY carrying rifles with capacities higher than 15 rounds.

I agree. Lets include the New York Military too!

You know when I read the title I thought to myself "is this a new law they are going to pass"? Nice to see it's a maintenance issue

For $380 sounds like you went to court and took the plea for 39:4-97.2? There are other ways around that plea under certain circumstances.....

makes you wonder what took the turbo quest so long??

My other friend was looking for the Ford truck. He was trying to decide 5.0 vs. ecoboost......you'd think the V8 would not have to work as hard??

Motortrend just chose Dodge as best truck

I'm crazy about watching my gas economy in my Silverado. Around town I consistenly get 13.5 mpg and around 19/20 highway. I drive with fuel economy in mind and have the cylinder de-activation.

I was wondering the same thing? If the Russian guns were banned for import couldn't an enterprising company here in the States license and produce the same gun, that is more expensive, and circumvent the ban? The same with ammo. Aren't there any U.S. companies that produce 7.62x39 ammo?

Better divest McDonalds and all of it's fatty foods while they are at it. Cars are pretty dangerous too, maybe drop GM/Ford/Toyota. That guy who sells the Ginzu knives on TV, better drop that account too!

I just had a conversation with a friend of mine who just swapped out his Ford F250 turbo diesel for the ecoboost. His diesel was an awesome truck! He told me he was tired of the diesel (mostly maintenance costs/extras) and wanted a gasser. He had just gotten back from a trip to Montana so I questioned him about the the truck. He couldn't say enough good things about it, he was extremely excited and loved the truck noting no problem with the power coming from a diesel. He enjoyed the fuel economy too. I've read a lot about it and haven't seen too many bad things at all, keep in mind I have a Silverado 5.3L. I would want to make certain I have a good differential to go with that motor (assuming 4x4). I think they might....have an electronic locking rear? I don't think the motor is hype, just different......

The idea is sound, but that would get you a week or two off without pay and MAJOR headlines. You know the Press likes a good "anti police" story. I would just leave and never come back. This is the excuse I can use to tell the other guys I don't want to eat at the resturant that makes me drive lights/siren back to PD crapper an hour after eating!

Remember that the next time your at work and having lunch out and someone walks up and tells you to leave as your eating. You don't have to be a leo to be bothered by that. I didn't read anything about them going "ballistic", just insulted they were told to leave while eating because of a company policy the manager apparently got wrong and a statement about a sign that didn't exist. You'd be upset too!

See the link in post #11 They are allowed. Not certain what their policy is for citizens??

No one is disputing that. The problem is the Manager took it upon himself to state "they" the company have a policy/displayed when in reality it doesn't. Besides, it appears from the Corporate apology they ARE concerned about their image and DO want the police to eat in their resturant.

Corporate Response: Denny's later posted an apology on Facebook: As a company, we are as upset as you about the recent misunderstanding at our Belleville, IL restaurant. After a guest raised concern about an individual with a firearm in the restaurant, our manager approached the individual and communicated that Denny’s policy does not permit firearms in the restaurant. Upon further discussion, we became aware the individual was a plain-clothed police officer. Denny’s policy permits law enforcement officials to carry their firearms in the restaurant and we have reminded all of our restaurants of this policy. Denny’s supports local law enforcement and the hard work they do on behalf of all of our communities and we sincerely apologize for this misunderstanding.

Sometimes you just want to take time out of busy day and get something to eat without being bothered. The big question is WHERE did the manager who said it was their policy and it was displayed on the door get this information from? Corporate said it was not, so why was he saying such a thing? Second, did he think they wouldn't look for the sign on the door as they were ushered out? Is the one manager some liberal who doesn't like guns and decided to use his job to push a personal agenda? If that's true Corporate should hold him responsible (if he lied about the policy and sign). BTW...everyone is assuming there really was a "concerned patron". They have cameras all over in their restaurants, check the video and see if anyone requested a manager.

A Dennys manager asked several Detectives who were armed (displaying badges) to leave their guns in their car or leave. The police refused and decided to leave. The manager indicated a patron was made nervous by their presence. Keep in mind this is ONE Denny's and their business has always been friendly to me, although if this had occurred to me I too would have been very embarassed. http://www.policeone.com/bizarre/articles/6079410-Ill-chief-bans-on-duty-officers-from-Dennys/

Not all LEO's use walking sticks and wear black sunglasses, and a few are actully pro gun. That being said he is probably trying to sell guns (good selling technique) and guessing by looking at which way the wind is blowing. Scoll through these forums and you will find PLENTY of people here talking the same talk about gun bans, new laws, confiscation.

Comfort, liability and hyper vigilance. BTW...Sears didn't have my broken splitting axe to exchange. Wasted gas, daughter liked the little Jr. Frosty on way home though. Gotta bribe her to go with daddy to tool store!

heading out to mall, loading up 9mm and extra mags.......little one coming with me.....

Police do not need a CCW. Our right to carry comes directly from the 2C and acts in the same manner as when we carry on duty. No permit, other than having you police ID, badge, and concealed holster. Keep in mind that we have to qualify quarterly, have our weapons inpected, holstered inspected, list our carry ammunition, pass semi-annual class/test for use of force, then with our area we practice use of force situation via car stops, building searches, pedestrian contacts with simunitions with roll players and instructors grading us. Everything is recorded and filled out be used later if the worst has to be done by any officer. These histories and training files become extensive over the years. These use of force scenarios can be enlightening as they rapidly evolve. I work with about (down from 105 to 85) officers. I have always been a big proponent of CCW off duty so after twenty years I have a very good idea of who carries and who does not. I think the 90% is an optomistic number and does NOT consider carrying everyday. Most Officers do not have an off duty weapon and rely upon their duty weapon. Many who do have off duty use the "mini Glock". In my opinion it is done as an effort to make the qualification process easier (different gun requires notification to management regarding size, capcity, inspection). I've been qualifying with these guys for 20 years and am considered somewhat of a "gun advocate". I believe there are some reasons why these guys don't carry as much as many of you would do. From what I have seen over the years, maybe some here who believe they would carry everyday would see things the same way after the novelty wears off.

no it is not. it is good practice.

there is always a lot more regarding ccw. ever wonder why 90% of cops do NOT carry off duty when they are already allowed to?

I was taught that combat loading always started with an empty shotgun.......slide back....wrap your hand and drop one in the chamber..slide forward then install the other 8 rounds. The idea was to have one in the chamber and ready to shot while reloading. Cruiser ready with police is always empty chamber. Too many Crown Vic's with holes in the sides
