Handyman

You're giving him way too much credit. He uses his entire intellectual reserve walking erect, finding booze and sniffing soiled leather panties.

God bless em. Hopefully they stick in to admin, and 50% of cops get emboldened and jump on the bandwagon. (I know, zero chance, but we can always dream.)

Hope it gets turned in during a buy back for $200. Yeeee haaaaa!

Makes a better sinus washer than a bazooka.

Any updates?

I know where you are coming from, but conversely: all those guns in public - many held by angry people - and how many shots fired? (I must confess my heart skipped a beat when I saw the folding stock. Clearly someone with such an evil feature must be a madman.)

Guys like that are destined to be a white shirt in no time...

Get a tetanus shot before you start!

I know you just want to peek in my underwear drawer tough guy. You never answered my question in another thread. If you bosses tell you it is time to begin confection, what will you do? Are you going to look out for my rights?

It seems like a lot of people are willing to give up rights because of an "emergency." Good work. Now the government can simply decide that something is an emergency at their whim. Speeding on a Sunday? Emergency. Looks like rain? Emergency. Who has the authority to decide on an emergency? Governor? Mayor? Police chief? Enjoy your "fair weather" rights. I still consider mine inalienable. Not reading this guy his Miranda rights was also stupid on an epic level. Good news is that if he walks someone will take his head off.

Maybe he was itching to be the "test case." Time to start calling in false tips to the hotline everyone. Keep them so busy that they don't know which way is up.

Awesome! If I didn't hate NY so much, I would move to Albany. Hopefully this starts a stream of letters.

I guess any port in a storm but sheesh, I wouldn't want to use this thing as a cap gun!

Ever see the movie "Escape from LA"? It is time to start building the fence.

Have no fear, you will acclimate. A revolver is a good start. If you are still nervous, start with something with a good safety (e.g. not a Glock!) until you are more comfortable. With a handgun, you often have to be much more conscious about what you might be sweeping with the muzzle (including your lower abdomen if you are pulling incorrectly from a holster). It is easy to get sloppy - take a class and learn right from the start. Like was said above, with a handgun it is good to be a little OCD.

I guess if you get a hand transplant you'd better save a doctor's note.

No problem, you just get one of these to go with it. If you are not a drinker you can fill it with Hoppes http://www.thebeerbelly.com/The_Winerack_Small_p/200-007.htm

Best of luck, Cali, as you transition into a liberal utopia. Just don't come suckling on our teat when the bank finally breaks out there.

"Discretion"? So much for the big sign:

Well said, very well reasoned, but too long. These political hacks are worse than texting teens. Sadly if they cannot digest it in 10 seconds, they are off to another issue.

Lol! It must hurt to know you are a failure at essentially everything except, curiously, getting elected.

Me? Never. My last official contact with LEO was a tailight out in the late 80's. (It is a little curious that most of the people that I regarded to be jackasses in high school have gone into law enforcement, though.) My "unoffical" contact with LEOs is 30 years in the emergency services, hanging essentially daily with dozens of them and hearing about the antics they are frequently up to. For example, based on the curriculum in the state police academy, it seems like recruits were at one point indoctrinated into thinking that everyone is bascially a criminal if you look hard enough and LEOs are the only thing preventing the utter downfall of society. I know good cops, bad cops, smart cops, dumb cops and lazy cops. I know that great cops have bad days. But unless something is radically changing, LEO culture is not about "protect and serve." Perhaps it never was.

That being said, it still seems to happen pretty efficiently at all levels of state and federal government.

"Sorry sir, my lawyer told me never to answer questions when he is not present."

So just out of morbid curiosity, what do you think you will do when the choice is presented to you (probably someday soon)?
