My wife shoots, and I cannot stress enough that she must go to the range and try out several guns. She needs to decide which gun she wants.
And expect more than one gun down the road. My wife quickly says she needs different holsters and pistols to accommodate different clothing choices.
It was a long time ago and it's not helpful to dig up an old complaint. I did take it to internal affairs and the matter is closed.
My point was to agree with the OP but to also point out that it's not universally true. Every group has a few black sheep and anyone can have a bad day.
Usually, but not always. I had a negative experience with an IPD officer many years ago. For the life of me, I still don't know what set this guy off. I didn't go to jail but my car got towed. I was left at the side of the road in a sketchy neighborhood in December with a light jacket and...
The old Rush Limbaugh question is: With the possible exception of the military name one thing the government does well."
15 years ago I would have stood up for the military. After a long list of debacles, I'm firmly in the camp that senior military leadership sucks.
About every two months the flow from our Berkey slows and I need to clean it. The filters and the upper tank (raw water) always have a scummy film that can be easily seen and felt yet the bottom tank (filtered water) is always crystal clear. I don't think I've ever cleaned it.
The only...
Since you asked, I think the Dems will pull Biden around the time of their convention. Newsom will step in and save the day.
I really hope I'm wrong. Not only is nominating any leader who oversaw the epic crash of San Francisco (Mayor 2004-2011) and then the decline of California as a...
This is going to look really petty and retaliatory to many of the suburban voters, It will put Kamila into office (which is its own kind of stupid) and do nothing positive for the country. Biden is sinking in the poles and doing damage to his own brand.
The only good I see is that it will tie...
The interesting thing to me is that the Richter Scale is logarithmic.
A magnitude 2 is 10x the power of a magnitude 1 quake. A magnitude 3 is 100x and a 4 is 1000x
Eddie Street Commons is about one mile from where I grew up. It's always been a party district. Back in the day, it was notorious for bars and liquor stores that didn't card (I can personally attest to that) and it was generally a good place to get into trouble.
Firstly, this happened on a...
So predictable. It happens over and over.
If murder rates go up then "We were too conciliatory. We didn't go far enough to make it work. We must be bold in times of trouble"
If murder rates go down then "This law was a good first step"
The gun ban may or may not be undone by the court but I doubt that was part of the calculation. She now has a 'bold' and 'decisive' plan to brag about at voter meetings and to any camera in a room.
The governor's job isn't to follow the constitution, reduce violence or stop fentanyl. She...
I own a Fat Boy now and may buy a second safe in next year. I'm okay with this change.
I opted for a mechanical lock when I bought my Liberty because didn't trust the electronic ones. I can hire a locksmith to change my combo and that's it. With an electronic lock I would never be sure...
This is the point that has people riled up. If what I read is accurate, the man and his property were the target of a search warrant. The warrant did not address Liberty or compel them in any way to provide the combo. Liberty provided the combo as a courtesy (my word). Sure, cops would have...
I've never owned one but I noticed a surprising number of them when I was in Alaska. My wife and I even made a joke or two about it. I think people go for what works in that part of the world.
You're absolutely right, individual movies can be slammed by a boycott, and that may be the case with some of the latest releases.
Wearing my movie critic hat for a moment, woke movies tend to be preachy and tedious. They're usually just bad movies and I think that accounts for some of the low...
I've been watching Disney since long before the boycott.
Last QUARTER alone their streaming business lost over half a billion dollars. That is an incredible loss.
They fired the CEO last fall for screwing up a lot of things. In my opinion, the stock performance is due to these two factors...
