I think you are missing the point of the pond scum remark I made even though you quoted the other fellow.... The point I was trying to make is we don't do anything about these threats. We just discuss/argue/crab/etc... however you want to describe the posts. That is all. I like the fact they are brought to our attention here. We sometimes don't all get to find or see them on other news medias or just miss them. But nobody does anything about the problem... do we?????? Hmmmm? That is what I meant. Dare I say arm chair quarterbacking? I'm sure we all care or we wouldn't be here. Each cares to the intensity it affects them. Most only care to that point because society has become that way. I have yet to see a 1 Million Mile Anti Assault Weapon Ban March yet... especially stemming from here. lol...

....and do what? All we see are posts here and what can or should be done. We wait for the next post then crab about that one. All the crabbing in the world here gets no where. I'm not saying not to post stuff. Just saying, posting stuff anywhere is like stagnant pond scum. It goes no where. IMHO... Now if we all wanted to rise to the occassion, make big poster signs and line the capital steps, then that would be a different story. Otherwise... just pond scum.

Lasers got their hype from TV and the Movies. Mostly, they are not allowed in competition. In fact, neither are red dots or similar. If others are shooting iron sights, that's what everyone has to shoot. Now as for the laser(s)... I've experimented with lasers for years being the electronic techy nut that I am... There are different aspects and functionality on a weapon. One of the big things as some mentioned above is visibility. Depending on the wavelength, color and wattage, they will not be visible in daylight. Red for instance is a no go in the light. Subdued light, maybe. Wattage limits are low by law and hinder intensity. In recent years you have started seeing green lasers. They have a different wavelength visible to the naked eye and can be visible in daylight. Not just the dot at times either. You can also see the beam. At night, you can see the red laser dot on target. If there is a smokey or dusty environment in the dark, you'll also see the laser beam itself. The green laser in the dark is extremely visible.. IMHO, here are some downfalls of either or: -Not everyone's hand is steady. A laser on a handgun for instance... A person with any slight movement while trying to lock onto a target, shows any movement, will cause the dot to move all over. This will not enable a dead on shot. You'll take a big chance trying to take out a foe if they are using a human shield if you depend on the laser rather than your sights. Also, the further the distance, the more the dot will move under the same circumstances. Your hand being the vertex and the dot being further out, any movement will be multiplied greatly. If your hand trembled a little and you noticed little movement of the dot at close range, it will look like you are having an epileptic fit at longer ranges. - Red vs Green, who is the target? You or the enemy? OK, so paper will not shoot back so no biggy. BUT, rifles for instance have flash suppressors on them for reasons. The opfor will try to find the shooter with their ears and sight. Looking for that muzzle flash. Now what do you think you give off with a laser? That lovely red or green dot doing the tarantella dance. Also, if the red beam is visible due to floating dust or smoke, or you are using a green laser, might as well plot a map to where you are. So my final take on weapon lasers. Good for quick acquisition at close range. I have one on my H&K Compact USP 45 and on my M4... Both are combo light lasers and red... Never really planned on a laser for the M4 but got good deals on 2 Streamlights.... As for the 45... Use to be my carry... But since it was retired, it is now my HD weapon. At close range in your own home, on your on property, you have the 'home advantage'... the light and or laser, used with the momentary switch is a good asset. For my wife, which doesn't get to shoot hardly at all, it's a great tool. The laser is sighted for about 30 feet. Pretty much the longest distance inside our home and outside before you run into a fence or fall into the pool. ;-) So for that, laser is good. As for the range, someone mentioned you should concentrate on your sights and targets. Not a laser dot. The dot does draw away attention to what you are trying to accomplish and that's a bullseye. When you are shooting for protection, laying that dot on center mass is a no thinker. That's what I want my wife to realize if I'm not here to protect her. If she is afraid to shoot, blind the bastard with it if nothing else. ;-) These are all just my takes after years of experiments on weapons and on the bench for other purposes.

I'm planning on it with my nickel 1911. Just haven't had the time yet. Maybe over the winter.... Just simple parts to start. Screws, safety, etc. Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

Just walk away if there is nothing written. But if you did see any houses with him/her and your new agent shows you the same house and you want to place an offer, than can be wars between the two agents. I use to sell real estate and got out of it because of it's cut throat nature. Sometimes going with a big company is not always good either. I worked for both big and small. I found I could give more to my buyers when I was with the smaller company. Agents with bigger companies are trying to service everyone at once and can be spread too thin. But they are greedy as is the profession and they won't want you to go away. While they have many resources, the small company is just as capable of working for you and won't ditch you because they have to work harder to make the money. Only exception to any of it is if the potential customer is a pain in the arse that is just wasting the agents time. I'm not saying you are, just telling you why some are the way they are. Things you can do if you haven't already. Have whomever you will use to write you a mortgage give you a prequal letter. Show that to your agent. It will show you are serious... Find a company that specializes in the area you are looking and have been around awhile. How often do you see their signs around may give you a hint of their popularity... Hope that helps a little.

Yep, I was awake already... Also thought they were traffic. Wouldn't be the first time they'd hover right over the house and wake everyone up. The fooking cemetery is just on the other side of the highway. I'm sure the dead wouldn't care. But this time off Washington Ave near he Garden Apts. Doesn't surprise me.

Gotta see what he is going to do for the bracket. I ordered a set of iphone 5's and the size is not the same. But if he makes a bracket for the 5, I'll get one for sure.

Actually my iphone has tinnitus like the owner. It rings just like my right ear... Lol Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

Or.... Leave it and pin/weld it. But there are stipulations. Correct me if I'm wrong, they are not really illegal. It depends what gun it is on and how many evil features are already on the gun. For instance, my Socom has what they advertise as a flash hider/supressor. But because It doesn't have a pistol grip, it's legal. Correct guys/gals? You really haven't specified a weapon.
