[quote name="maroonandwhite" post="1154152" timestamp="1401592827"]This. He may have already burnt that bridge though.[/quote] Yeah. I took a call in the middle of composing that post. When I started he was just a little abrasive. When I read what was written while I was writing, well...hopefully my advice will be seen by someone else before they decide to go full retard 'cause it is too late now.

TnIIIer, if you recognize my avatar, you know where I stand on this issue. That being said, please take my advice and dial it back a smidge. There are a lot of really squared away folks. Folks that I would argue are way more solid than you and I. Folks that you would find it valuable to know and make friends with if you could only back it down a bit. Right now you are making no friends and doing yourself no favors. It doesn't have to be that way. Be nice. Join in the conversations. Show folks that you are a solid cat and then take the real conversations to meatspace. Don't get yourself banned from what can be a very valuable resource for networking and learning from folks who can teach you from experience and not theory. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

LeVar Burton seeks to bring back Reading Rainbow
Chucktshoes replied to Chucktshoes's topic in General Chat
$945k right now. It is going to meet its funding goal in 1 day. Outstanding. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD -
LeVar Burton is seeking to bring back Reading Rainbow in a big and accessible way. I view schooling to be of questionable value, but believe that learning and education are supremely important and fulfilling in their own rights. This show was a very important part of my formative education. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/readingrainbow/bring-reading-rainbow-back-for-every-child-everywh [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8DLihxcj14[/media]

The folks who compiled this list obviously weren't inhaling the smoke from the pit, they were inhaling smoke from something else. Apparently Brother James Salton was wrong, cause apparently you can get somewhere smoking the pipe. It seems you can get a job writing for Travel & Leisure.

Open carry advocates prompt Chipotle posting
Chucktshoes replied to gregintenn's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I support open carry. I also support the right of private entities to set their own policies with regard to whom they will serve without any government interference. All that aside, I am having great difficulty squaring my belief in the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) with my desire to buttstroke these two asshats with their own rifles. -
Justice Dept., Banks Put Choke Hold on Gun Dealers
Chucktshoes replied to gun sane's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Anyone who still believes there is a real and substantial difference between the Rs and the Ds has been snookered so soundly that they are no longer being scammed, they are scamming themselves. -
I have a 3rd Gen iPad with Retina display. I would second QuietDan's suggestion wrt getting the model with more memory. That being said, I love my iPad and don't know how I did without it before.

Coming to realize how big an >4 inch blade really is
Chucktshoes replied to JAB's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
That is very worrying considering the one thing he did "know" was incorrect. It doesn't surprise me though, as I have encountered more LEOs who had no real knowledge of the carry statutes than were fully informed. That isn't necessarily a reflection on the officers so much as their (lack) of training from the department. To the topic, I have been known to use a 4.5' CRKT Dragon fixed blade at work for general utility purposes. It is really at the upper end of what I could justify carrying. It will be nice to be able to put it on the belt without worry of getting hassled about it. -
Knox County Sherriffs Deputy chokes out handcuffed suspect.
Chucktshoes replied to 10-Ring's topic in General Chat
[quote name="KahrMan" post="1149064" timestamp="1400163760"]That makes sense. If it was not a true pension and more like a 401k that he contributed to, then he should get to keep it.[/quote] That. -

Knox County Sherriffs Deputy chokes out handcuffed suspect.
Chucktshoes replied to 10-Ring's topic in General Chat
[quote name="TripleDigitRide" post="1143564" timestamp="1398650138"]It seems the evidence was strong enough that the investigation took all of about 30 seconds. He was probably being paid during that time.[/quote] The evidence also appeared to be strong enough to get referred to the Knox AG. So getting fired might not be the end of the problems for that Deputy. I will be following story to see if charges do get filed. -
[quote name="luke9511" post="1143371" timestamp="1398628906"]i guess they changed it, it was cash only back in 2008-2010[/quote] Some stores may have stricter policies than others due to past issues. I know at Walgreens we would have stricter rules regarding accepted payment methods for different products (gift cards, cigarettes, etc.) due to past problems with fraud at a particular location.

Last year, while I was putting in some hours behind the counter at the gun shop we had a Canadian youth baseball team wander into the store. I talked for a bit with the coaches and answered their questions. They asked several questions about the use of firearms in self defense, such as "What do you do if someone breaks into your home?" I was very forthright in my answers. "You shoot them." I got told they came back through again a couple of weeks ago and asked about me. "Is that redheaded guy with glasses working?" "No, not today." "Oh, that's good, eh. He kinda scared us." :rofl:
