    I saw your first sentence and thought "workplace violence"?  Seems the best way to not use the T word   To add  was there any conclusion to this?

I understand preference but why not a four stroke?     I also understand being a man and wanting to make something work.   Love it when I can make it happen.   I need to change a mini bike motor,  never done it, not so sure I can but I wanna try.

I have taken psychedelic drugs before and never went on a rampage,  err....  oh wait you said psychiatric drugs   to quote someone famous   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3FnpaWQJO0

sweet ride, congrats

was already said  :shrug:  cup of gas thing

I hope at the least the perp fell down a time or two on the way to his cell.

Bersaguy that link draws a blank on my end

so has this passed?  Are there still people standing out front of these places?

Condolences to his loved ones.  Death is never pleasant.    Ok,  he wasn't a Jessie the Body,  but Rowdy Roddy Piper was a superstar. I loved the They Live movie.  Rememeber the fight scene that lasted forever?   It was the high point of his career.     Roids and physical abuse are why wrestlers die young.  It might be orchestrated but Pro Wrestling is probably the toughest sport in the world.  Well "Sports Entertainment:" anyway.  Them guys are studs.   RIP Roddy.

My opinion is if a drive by happened he'd be the first guy shot.

there should be no minimum wage.   Free market will decide what a pay rate is for any given job.   If you want to pay $2 an hour you probably aren't going to get very good help so you will raise the rate to the point you get good help.   It is a simple theory.

that is pretty freaking sweet.   Good for that kid,  I hope he has a long and high wage earning life.   And I am sure ISIL or whoever has already been trying it.   

    Common sense isn't common,  at least that's what Grandma told me.   You can't teach it, it is not learned.

    Golden Rule

I have not seen every picture or every placement of an armed guard,  but from the limited pics I have seen these guys are the first ones shot.  Standing right out in front. Sitting ducks.   Good intent that would end with bad consequences.

f'd up stuff.   WTF

  Killzall.   works like it says.  Takes two weeks.

I wonder how long a high dollar AK would last?

Ken Curtis was in John Ford's classic The Searchers. (my fav western) Curtis's role as Charlie McCorry had him acting, playing and singing in it.  Fighting too.

I feel what a couple of you are saying.  But I stand by what I said.  It is like this. I am going to the beach. I will have a gun, but when I go out on the beach for whatever I am not going to carry on the chance some mad man might attack me. It will be in the car or the room.   Going to SC tomorrow, while looking at their carry laws I found this,  

I'd travel to the point where it stops being worthwhile to me to make the deal.   Not hard to decide really.

if I feel the need to have a gun to go somewhere I don't go.   Go live life, it is not always about the damn gun.

if I have to wonder what might happen to me if I am found with a gun I pretty much don't go.   I don't mind a beer or two and some .22 plinking here at the estate.  Crucify me if you must.

I am a lefty too in a world of righty knives.  As I am sure you have already done adapting is what works best.   My EDC is the Pro Tech Runt 4 TGO special edition.  I am used to holding it and opening it lefty.  It is made for rightys. But the steel is 154cm and that stuff is tough as nails. It gets sharp and stays sharp.  I use it all the time, really I abuse it all the time and it is my best blade. The blade makes the knife.   I am a Kershaw fan too.  My backup is a Kershaw Speedsafe.  The flipper is really fast and the metal, while not 154cm is still good. It takes an edge and holds it for a reasonable amount of use.

I think I can hold my own for at least 90 days.  Water being an issue, but there is a spring near me and a few people with pools.   I might be able to persuade pool owners. Truly if SHTF it is game on.   The only stuff with value will be what you can eat or what you can use to get what you can eat.   Did the test, 23 points!!  Woot I will live a few days.
