Do you mean a Bersa?

Welcome to TGO. Make yourself at home.

Oh, I guess I should have read the entire thread before posting. Still, congrats.

Man, that is awesome. Maybe I'll get a chance to look at them when/if we meet up on Tuesday. Congrats!

I went through an ordeal where my 11-year-old daughter poisoned me by adding a mixture of Lysol and ammonia to my jug of Crystal Light. Yes, I got a few big ol' chugs down the hatch before I realized something was wrong. Before the courts would finally grant me full custody of her at age 7, she was subjected to some extremely damaging situations while living with her mother and that side of the family. I knew the likelihood of dealing with psychological and emotional issues was all but a given, but the possibility of being poisoned was something that never crossed my mind. The decision wasn't an easy one (although many on the outside assume it's a no-brainer), but I had her arrested. She (we) went through the process of being locked up, going to court, being placed on supervised probation, therapy, etc. It was a long, heart-wrenching experience for both of us, but I felt it had to be done. We still had our ups and downs for a while, but it all paid off in the end. I still deal with some of the somewhat typical teenage stuff, but we are now closer than we've ever been. It's a constant work in progress, but I'd like to think she will grow up to be a wonderful woman and a productive member of society. Dealing with a child who suffers with mental and emotional issues isn't easy, but much like other illnesses, the first step is the willingness to admit there IS a problem. Where your children are concerned, for countless reasons, that is often much easier said that done.

As one of the commenters said, "Now that's a special kind of stupid."

There's no doubt in my mind that we have an issue when it comes to properly treating the mentally ill, but I see an even bigger issue in the number of parents who choose to completely ignore the fact that their child needs help. Many times the mental disorders are noticeable at a young age, but good luck convincing many parents that their child needs help. "Not my little Johnny."

  They were in their vehicle.

Yes.

These stories are always nice to hear, especially this time of year.

:rock:

Some of us are kinda normal. :lol:

On one hand, I'm wondering what happened to shooting just enough to stop the threat (not that I agree with that). On the other hand, based on this guys arrest records, this cop did society a favor. The officer clearly continued shooting after the guy was on the ground and no longer a threat, but I'm going to have a difficult time losing any sleep knowing there's one less dirtbag to worry about.

Awesome news! Congratulations!

This will push the gun debate over the edge. Hold on tight, ladies and gentlemen, we're in for a wild ride.

RIP. The officers and their families will be in or thoughts.

I can't see the up-close details, but that looks like some awesome work. Lookin' good.

Thank you for the clarification, Dolomite. I'll have to give them more credit, because I wouldn't go over there for 30K/year.

I didn't realize he wasn't current or retired military. I understand he was in a hostile environment, but does he deserve the same credibility while he's making several times more per year than real soldiers? That's a real question. It's difficult for me to feel the same way about guys who go over there making $150,000/year while our service men and women are going over there for peanuts.

Oh, man! I want one so bad. Maybe one day.

If it contains the word "cookie", there's a good chance I like it. I love peanut butter cookies.

At least it was a nice clean cut. Heal swiftly.
