I Need Radar detecter Opinions
They don't even need to hide really. A patrol car could be standing conspicuously on the side of the road and they'll still get customers. IMO those inattentive drivers are the ones that should get written anyway. Rookie cops do the darnest things though. Sometimes they bury themselves so deep in their fox holes that it takes them a minute to pull out onto the roadway if they can even get out without getting beached on a rut. Such enthusiasm! Give them a few years and they're using the common spots that the regular drivers know to slow down for (as per the unspoken gentlemen's agreement). I do not envy the life of traffic enforcement officers and I do not care for that method of generating revenue for local and state governments. Best to stay off their radar IMO.

Good responses here -- great practical advice for the professional speeder. V1 and situational awareness will keep you out of most speeding tickets and will decrease the chances you'll be spread eagle if you do get stopped (by that I mean the officer may be proud that he just nailed you for an 85 in a 65 but you'll be relieved about how much speed you were able to drop before he got you at 85). Always be scanning sequentially in every direction. That SA will also keep safe as you'll always know where other vehicles are placed around you. After months or even years with the V1 you will know every signal pattern and be able to respond without thinking. Same with knowing your environment, eventually you will just "know". Make sure your brakes and tires are always up to task. A stiff suspension is a good visual work around for the frontend diving under extreme braking. Always be revved up so you can lose moderate speed by lifting (or put in a toggle switch in parallel with the brake switch). Stay right. Know the road. Change lanes strategically, not willy nilly. When passing "No U-Turns" be smooth and early in dropping speed on the approach and be mindful of the loudness of your exhaust accelerating after you pass a trap. Slow down around other cars and while passing any police that are already pulled over with a customer. Don't speed in residential zones. Don't play games with other drivers. For your V1 you should get a remote display and locate a mute button near your steering wheel or gear shifter. You want your V1 to be dark and inconspicuous. It should not be easily seen from either outside the car or up close and personal. The remote display should also be inconspicuous but visible without removing your eyes from the road (see below). The mute button should be a negligible hand movement away from where your right hand normally locates itself (see below).

Was his handgun returned to him?

Orange Cop Carjacked
I like where you're going with this.. If you're getting carjacked it's best to shit your pants and piss yourself so they won't want to enter the vehicle

Carjackers were like, "that's the Porsche they impounded from me when I got busted last year, let's get it back!"

Handgun permit renewal
More often than not they will only sign the extension at expiration or after they expire. But it's all over the map

Question for the CCW guys...
G23 in a Safariland ALS hip holster, covered but not concealed If it's really hot out I carry my Springfield XDm 3.8 concealed in a Crossbreed Supertuck holster (IWB). But I don't care much for carrying IWB and don't do it often Good luck in your quest to find a comfortable carry setup. If you mount a holster on your driveline tunnel or under the dash in your vehicle then you can go with a more comfortable holster and bigger sidearm on your person and not worry about it being uncomfortable sitting in a car seat for extended periods of time

Import Albanian SKS
To be honest that makes a little more sense than the lower receiver being the controlled part stateside

LASIK
Interesting... I guess I just have to man up and get it done. I need to look into the space thing because I do want to spend a portion of my retirement money going into space if it is viable by then

LASIK
For Lasik.. how long is the laser on for, can you smell your eye burning and is it true you can never be a space tourist if you get it?

New Jersey CCW Roll Call
I do think they need to be renewed every couple years. Obviously not an issue if they're connected but they still need to do some leg work to keep the permit current

This thread reminds me of a famous novel by Joseph Heller

I would imagine some combination of the type of business they're in and who they know.

Which car should I lease?
Fair enough but I didn't say Kia was shit. I said the Kia was shit, referring to the Kia Rio model in the OP. My track car is Japanese (and made in Japan) so don't get the wrong idea, I'm not here thumping my chest chanting "U. S. A. U. S. A."

Import Albanian SKS
Basically you just run a plasma cutter through the receiver. And remove the trigger assembly, etc. for good measure. <shrug> But where do you buy SKS receivers? I don't think NoDak makes one(?) Maybe weld it back (and add material) yourself? Or replicate a stamped receiver with sheet metal?

New Jersey CCW Roll Call
I can only think of 2 and they're both a vendor. One owns the business, the other works for it.

Which car should I lease?
I'm talking about value and performance of the Kia Rio, particularly compared to the other 2. Other Kia models may be great. The Rio is not one of them. The Ford Focus and Mazda 3 platforms are light years ahead. Dumping millions upon millions into something does not indicate excellence.

Trenton hostage 5/11
"A standoff between police and an armed, barricaded man holding children as hostages inside his home stretched into a second day with no immediate end in sight to the incident that began Friday with the discovery that the suspect had killed his girlfriend and one of her children." http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2013/05/trenton_hostage_standoff_updat.html sorry if this was already posted What I liked about it: all high profile crime involving firearms concerns me with these bills floating around in the State House

Sportsman carry? ?
The energy required to split atoms makes it not worthwhile IMO

Which car should I lease?
Ford followed closely by the Mazda. If she is a driver then she may prefer the Mazda. Test drive both back to back. Forget the Kia, it's shit -- no offense to our allies in the upcoming Korean war.
