So, the old thing about "tomato juice" is not reliable? Or not *as* reliable?

Which FB page OG? I didn't see a link in your post, and I didn't see a reference either on BA's FB page nor the NJSP FB page....

For me, the country would be Luxembourg, and the cordial this: Père Blanc. It's sort of like a sweet Ginger flavored cordial (and the alcohol content gives it a little "heat"). But you have to consume the bottle fairly quickly because once the bottle is opened and, say, 75% consumed, the remaining alcohol will evaporate, and all you are left with is a thick, sugary, ginger flavored syrup. The other unfortunate thing is that it's not sold in the USA. And it's been almost 20 years since I've been to Europe and picked up a bottle. They'll export it in odd lots of 3 bottles or more, and that's about US $100.00. Since I don't really drink anymore, it's not worth it.

I still think they should make it a "clean sweep" and move the HQ to TN as well. This way, they don't (I believe) have to pay corporate taxes to MD. Again, they can have a "lobby/laiason" office in the Alrington/Alexandria/Quantico" area for the Military stuff. Speaking of which, did any one see this little gem that trended on Yahoo this morning??? The Army's New Handgun: A weapon for Criminals?

I looked and it seems the Shield is not "USPSA approved" for competition.... None of my handguns are, apparently, except the P226 9mm. I have no idea about IDPA. Nick?

Well, in my case, my DL had been renewed since the last time I applied for anything, so I let them copy the new DL. Other than that, standard paperwork, and this time I did the Electronic SB121A.

Yes, it does, and few others do. here is the wesbite - > Florida Dept. of Agriculture & Consumer Services On Line 5), you can check the status of your application by entering the App # (T-something) and your birth date. It will tell you the status. What you want to see, eventually is the "Issued" status. I agree about 90 days. One of the nice things about FL CCW is that, although it is $112.00 for non resident, it lasts 7 years... two more than most others (UT and AZ are 5 years each). Good Luck.

I know.... As it turns out, my old neighborhood is still very well maintained and well patrolled. A few years ago, I went back to look at the old house, and saw patrol car after patrol car. I was afraid I was going to get stopped/detained for walking through the neighborhood, but nope. The old house is a lot smaller that I recall it being at 4 yrs old.... :D

10th, if using Chip McCormick 10 rounders....

I was born there.... I still have a small bit of family there. Seriously, it's not what it used to be. Then again, I was only 4 years old when I left.

No, it's it's own entity. Half of the land used to belong to VA and half to MD. DC returned the VA half back to VA. See "District of Columbia Retrocession Act..."

I will move there, permanently, eventually. For now, I visit at least twice a year for almost a month at at time. I'm more of a Kydex kind of guy than leather. I have a Blade-Tech OWB for my P226 9mm. I also have their speed belt and mag pouches. Now I need an IWB for my Shield, and also for my "Pro Series 1911" Sub compact (which I'm having trouble finding)...

I own one too and for similar reasons... especially the FL part. Let me know what you choose for IWB.

She/her..... (Cathy Lanier, DC Chief of Police) I remain cautiously optimistic... we'll see what happens. I do agree that there needs to be a little time for things to stabilize.

Nonetheless, it isn't "zero tolerance" either since, obviously, not everyone is being arrested for these violations. And as long as it isn't zero tolerance, my question stands.... Why hasn't there been any "discretion/unwritten policy" for this lady (as of yet)? Even more irony... if the LEO hadn't arrested her, the prosecutor would have had nothing to consider... might not even have known about it. Look, all I'm asking is, "what went through the LEOs mind when s/he busted her?" Was s/he adhering to policy? Was this "personal?" Or, was there some other motivation? There's a lot we don't know (or at least I don't)... How many LEOs were on the scene when it happened? If more than just the arresting officer, it would be a lot harder to deviate from "policy." Likewise, if they were using dash cams to record the encounter... But, otherwise, it's not like the LEO personally saw the weapon in plain sight and had to take action. the LEO could have simply "not have heard her correctly" and let her go anyway, if s/he really wanted to. S/he didn't. I just want to know why, is all.

Precisely my original point.... there is *some* discretion, even in re: a serious felony. My question is, why is there none (so far) in *this* particular case?

At least it's not the "jawbone of an......." well..... you know.....

I have been reading some of the comments in the above article. One question.... Who is this "Shannon" person to whom they refer???

Excellent! I wonder if this also has effect on the "ammunition" law that includes "spent brass," etc.... If not, then there is still work to be done. That and getting them to honor FOPA, etc.

Fair enough... I'll redirect onto the prosecutors, then. Why wasn't the lady offered PTI? As for the LEO, I'd still like to know what the official department policy is on the issue (i.e. "zero tolerance," or something less than that) and if there is any "discretion in enforcement" permitted... any at all. At a former company of mine on the NJ NY state border (circa. 1986), some of the employees set up a practical joke on a fellow employee involving a NY LEO coming to the company HQ in NJ to "arrest" the fellow employee "in jest." The "officer" finally arrived, but 45 minutes late. When he arrived, he was not armed (empty holster). After the joke was played, the officer explained the reason for his late arrival. He had forgotten to leave his service weapon in NY and crossed over to NJ in his patrol vehicle with his side arm. He was stopped immediately by the NJSP. However, he was not arrested. He was ordered to go back to NY and leave his service weapon there, whereupon, he could return to NJ. Thus, the delay. Apparently, there was, at least, a little "discretion" that day, felony notwithstanding. I'm just wondering why there wasn't any, this time... Some (not necessarily me) are arguing that the subject's race/gender might have been factors in the LEO's decision to arrest immediately... perhaps also in the prosecutor's decision to not offer PTI. After all, (assuming the encounter was not dash cam'ed), the officer might simply "not have heard her correctly..." And, without an arrest, there would have been nothing for the prosecutor to do at all. As for the law being the "equivalent of a felony," perhaps that is the root issue here, and what we need to change, but I doubt it will happen in our lifetimes.

That's just it.... the problem is that the "sheeples" don't know these "riight" news sources exist. They only know the MSM. And the MSM is dead set against airing these kinds of stories . I have yet to see one of the "big three" networks (i.e. National News programs) air the story of the Philly psychiatrist. I have seen a few AP and other Internet news articles about it... most of which (except FOX News) are quick to bring up the hospital's "no guns except active LEO" policy... If we had a way to deliver *our* content with *our* spin on it to as many as the MSM can, we'd truly be in business.

Yeah... Sorry....

That's the same form I did for my initial FID with MorphoTrak. My municipality gave me the ORI# to use, which is, simply, the municipal code with "NJ" and one leading zero in front, and two trailing zeros behind it. That's why I asked what agency is doing the background check. The results will probably go to them, and that's probably the code to use. But I would check with the Div. of Consumer Affairs to be sure.

In fact, they were doing that this week on the main range at HG (Easton). They did, however, have the "tactical" range open.
