And, yet, another article - The MSM might just be catching on here. But still no link to Ms. Allen CBS - Why Ins't Ray Rice Facing a criminal Trial?

Yes, and the "multi-state" course at Quinton Sportsmen's club did include live fire. BYOG & A.

I took a "multi-state" course offered at the Quinton Sportsmen's Club near Salem, NJ. It was geared towards Utah, but it seems it also worked for Florida, Virginia and Arizona. I applied to 3 of those 4 (didn't do Virginia - $100. non res. fee, and it was already covered by the other states).

There are at least "two," of which I'm aware.... one of which I've met personally.

Earlier this year, I put in for mine on 03/18. It was "issued" (the status you're looking for on their website) on 05/07, and postmarked 05/09. Very similar timing for Utah and Arizona.

But wait, there's more! A very interesting tweet from the NJSP on the matter - NJSP - #RayRice Maybe they're having 2nd thoughts also.....

Bummer... .... A lot of my business networking meetings are in my two local Paneras.. Oh... wait..... this is NJ... No problem!

Thank you. Just wanted to confirm.

So, then, it's more "trigger discipline" than anything else. My Shield also has the passive safety combined with the thumb safety. But the passive safety won't be of much help without the trigger discipline to keep that finger out of the way while drawing/re-holstering.

Although I don't have kids, this is my setup as well. Everything but the "duty weapon" is unloaded and secured (condition "4") in individual locked cases in crawl space closet with a secure lock on the door. The duty weapon (condition "1") is either always on my person or in a bed side (or desk side) button safe. Just curious.... for those of you whio carry strikers without thumb safeties, What's your strategy for carrying and drawing? Are you condition "3", or condition ".5" or "0"? In those cases, is it simply a matter of strong trigger discipline? Two of my semis are 1911's and have thumb safeties so I can carry condition "1." My 3rd is a Shield 9mm (my usual EDC "duty weapon"), also with a thumb safety (although I see they now make a model without it???? Different Strokes, I guess. My other weapon is a classic P226, so no thumb safety, but a decocker. I can carry condition "2" and DA/SA I'm careful, but also comfortable with my trigger discipline on that one.

I've seen a few from Belgium eat fries with mayo. Then again, French Fry stands are as big as the "hot dog" stand in NYC.

And now, even more troubles for Mr. Rice - Yahoo - Ray Rice Cut by the Baltimore Ravens and placed on "Indefinite Suspension"

Or the rear part of an SUV if you don't have a "trunk." I was considering 13 and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel, for this time, but as it happens, I caught some YouTube Videos of the journey and felt it really wasn't worth it.... Go way out of the way just for that? Nah.... This new way (I-81 --> I-77 --> I-26 --> I-95) is, technically, about 40 miles longer than my classic Eastern Shore Route (US 301/50 --> Beltway --> I-95), but it minimizes the time in MD, minimizes tolls, and might avoid a lot more traffic in the DC metro area.

Ruh Roh! Looks like Ray may not be out of the woods just yet! CBS News - Video Released allegedly showing Ray Rice striking his (then) Fiancee.

I'll be traveling on a Saturday/Sunday so, hopefully, the traffic won't be as bad. I'll check out PSA, Thanks.

I'm bad at night driving. I need to sleep at nights. But I can get up very early and avoid rush hour areas, or drive on weekends.

Yep, already got my gaddbuddy on.... From I-95, I turn onto I-10 W from the Jacksonville beltway and head towards the Lake City area.

Congrats! You have convinced me to try this route. I will overnight in the Charlotte area. I like the fact that it minimizes time in MD and avoids bridges, tunnels, etc.

Congrats!

4 hours, I believe, but it could be longer if your class is larger (and they ask more questions)... Or, if you need to demonstrate more skills (like muzzle loading).

Yeah, lot's of luck with that..... :D

Here is the Mayo Clinic article on it: Orthostatic Hypotension

Good luck to BLF and the others taking the exam tomorrow!

Voss, indeed! With Bubbles!!! :D

I don't believe this was a "temperature" (of the drinks) issue, but more a "volume" issue (i.e. low BP = less blood volume to the brain). Drinking some water brought the volume back up again). Also sitting/lying down re-distributes blood volume to the brain a bit. It's happened to me before if, for example, I rise from bed too quickly after a night's sleep. So when I wake up I'll just sit on the bed for a few moments and let my body "equalize" before standing up.
