Not all actors are gun haters...or cop haters. However… if they are buying AR’s 50 at a time and they are paying $2K each; they are getting hosed and need a new purchasing agent.

The problem can’t be fixed. You need to buy better mags. I’ll do you a favor and take those POS PMags off your hands. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Just kidding. Kinda… I do need to get some PMags.

I watched the movie “Prey†on Cinemax the other night and thought of this thread.

<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State><ST1:pIllinois </st1:State>doesn’t register guns. I can legally buy ammunition in <st1:State>Illinois </st1:State>and I don’t have a FOID card. But yes… if you are a resident of the state you are required to have a FOID card to purchase or possess ammunition.

Illinois has no law against shipping in ammo (Chicago may). The shipper is just required to have a copy of the FOID card on file. <O:p</O:p I also don’t read that as saying they have to ship to an FFL. It only says that the order must be placed through their FFL Gun Department.

Okay.. If I use “WPA Personal†and “TKIPâ€, it doesn’t ask for a “RADIUS Server Address:†x

Thanks for the help. What’s a “RADIUS Server Address:†It won’t let me continue without one.

Internet connection Type = Automatic Configuration- DHCP ?? Security Mode Choices ? WPA Personal WPA Enterprise WPA2 Personal WPA2 Enterprise Radius WEP WPA Algorithms Choices ? TKIP AES WPA Shared key: Is this the password? Group key renal: 3600 seconds

I have three computers on a home network. Two wired desktops (Windows Media Center Edition & Windows XP pro) One wireless laptop (Windows XP Pro) Router is Linksys WRT54GS Laptop uses Linksys WUSB54GC USB adapter I really don’t want to have to use a password each time a device connects. Can I just input a MAC Addresses in the router set-up for the devices I have and be secure from someone outside my home having access?

And I can't speak as to the North store but at the South you have racks and racks to pick from. I went and picked out all mine.

Duhhh… Of course they need to prepare for it. The threat we are seeing to our economy right now is more of a danger to this country than any enemy on earth. Probably. But that would depend on the amount of damage. The Constitution can and has survived a lot of things; but being hit by a nuke is not one of them.

I don’t care if it is unloaded; you don’t point a gun at a person…. Ever. Some people are just dumb azzes. (They way I read your story you didn’t know that the gun was safe; and it was pointed directly at you.)

Just a WAG… If there was no contact…Aggravated assault 39-13-102 (a) (1b); a class C felony. Which your lawyer would probably get reduced to assault 39-13-101 (a) (2); a class A misdemeanor on a plea agreement.

I don’t think you misunderstood me, and any argument you feel like making is justified. That’s what forums are all about. We just don’t agree, and I don’t know if you have experience with our system or not; but I could fill pages with the injustices I have seen as a cop. It’s not a bad system; it’s just not a just system. It is possible that your justice will be limited by the amount of money you have. Would you agree with that statement? I hope you are never wrongly accused of a crime because you may find that even if you are not convicted; it is certainly not a process you would want to go through again.

The Chinese are blatantly copying everything and scoff at any laws prohibiting it. Leupold has been hit with fakes and has put a warning on their website. http://www.leupold.com/corporate/resources/counterfeit-warning/

You don’t go before a live board?

I have no idea about Texas law, but that’s true with most any charge. A person can say anything. It’s one of the many reasons I don’t open carry or get in an argument or confrontation when I am carrying. If someone accuses you of threatening them, or pointing a gun at them (Whether you did or not) and you have a gun on you; chances are pretty good you are going to be arrested. It isn’t “proof beyond doubt†its proof beyond a reasonable doubt; that’s a big difference. Keep in mind… we don’t have a justice system; we have a legal system.

How does Metro work that? On our department your written test combined with the Physical Agility test was 50% of your total score and then the oral board was the other 50%. The written test was pretty much a joke, the Physical Agility test got rid of a bunch, and then the oral boards were where they picked who they wanted. You went on a list based on your final score and they hired from that list as positions came open. The list was good for two years or until everyone on it was hired; then they started over.

nevermind.

The obvious concern would be your age. The department I was on has a cut off of 35 years of age. But I don’t see a limit on Metro’s website. Our physical agility test got rid of a bunch of the applicants. It’s tough for a 20 something year old to pass it. But that would depend on the department; obviously some departments don’t have much of a physical test; if any. Most PD’s post their requirements on the web; take a look. Also, it appears to work a little differently in Tennessee, but in most states you have to get accepted for a job, then go to the academy; not the other way around. Good Luck

Here’s a thread where I posted a pic of mine and some of the photos. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10640 And here is a link to more light box info than I have ever seen in one place. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=281524

It could also be that the cop saw it and did it as a joke. (I would do something like that). But then if he put in there that the cop was smiling or said “No man, I’m just messin’ with you; have a nice nightâ€; it wouldn’t have had the same forum effect.

.357 Mag is substantially superior to the 9mm for shooting dirt bags. If by “Snubbie†you mean a 2 1/2†K-Frame or L-Frame; it is an excellent choice. If you mean a 2" J-Frame; I would stick with a .38+P. The weapon can handle the magnum, but the recoil is pretty intense.

I would bet that WM is second only to the U.S. military in ammunition purchasing from manufactures. I would also bet that “bulk†retailers would pale in comparison to the amount of ammo shipped to WM. Even with a C&R discount I can’t do any better than WWB from Wal-Mart. It’s good range ammo. I just wish they would also carry the good stuff in handgun ammo. I buy quality .308 Winchester at nearly the price of what some are paying for junk off the net.

No, I don’t carry a BUG. But then... I have driven without a seatbelt, rode my motorcycle without a helmet and on occasion I have been known to run with scissors.
