MacGyver

I was going to ask if the fabled fire breathing pig was adjustable. I guess it's not?

That's a great idea. I've never had issues, but I worry about it.

Congratulations. It will change your life.

And I would give at least $5 to see someone try it.

I've had a couple of pairs over the years, and tried to like them, but just haven't for multiple small reasons. The primary reason was that after wearing the for several hours the temples were really uncomfortable. They weren't bad, but they weren't great. I love the Natives I have right now. Like costa, their warranty is lifetime, no questions asked. I have had opportunity to use it, and they not only solved the claim to my satisfaction at the time, but several months later sent me a completely new pair of sunglasses and two pairs of lenses when they came out with an updated model. I surf, bike, shoot and drive in the same sunglasses. Their quality and customer service have made a lifetime customer out of me.

I'm in of course. Say $50.

They make one specifically for animals. Costco had it last time we were in there.

Did they have heaters?

You need a Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner as well. After going through three other vacuums in a year with our black lab, the Dyson is amazing. Since the container on the vacuum is clear, it looks like you've sucked up a whole dog every time you vacuum - which is multiple times a week in our case.

In case I sounded harsher than I intended, please don't take my above comments as a personal attack on you or your position. That was certainly not my intention. A lot of people make the case that you do, and in a lot of those cases, I might be inclined towards the more libertarian view of things. This isn't one of them, though. This guy screwed us all.

Here's the thing that makes it a big deal, though. In his selfishness, he put his vice above his job. He may have never been under the influence on the job. I hope he wasn't. But, by partaking he opened himself up to influence. That is, someone could have found out about it, and blackmailed him with it. As a forensics professional, you are held to a high standard for a reason. We get on the stand, give the facts that we found, and are more often than not asked to interpret them. Our interpretations go into the record just like the cold hard facts. If someone used this guy's drug use against him, he could have adjusted both his findings and his interpretation in cases he worked. That is why this has me so mad. It doesn't matter whether he was ever under the influence or not. Because of his selfishness, people who deserve to be in jail for crimes they committed will have their counsel reopen their cases. People will walk because of this. He knew better. And think about your last statement. Are the NFA laws stupid? Yes. But we all play by them and understand the ramification for not doing so. Are drug laws stupid? You might be able to argue against them. Maybe. Perhaps you can put marajuana in a different class than heroin or meth? I don't know. But I do know, that anyone who grows, buys or consumes marajuana in the US does so with the full knowledge that it is illegal, and has consequences if you get caught. You might not agree with the law. But you still have to play by it - just like we do with the NFA rules. I don't think anyone here is slamming Dr. Levy for his choice of vices. I think they are slamming him for his stupid decision to partake in his position.

I'll speak as the forensics professional here: 1. A lot of people may use "recreationally" if you can classify it like that. Minor use may not affect critical brain function. It doesn't matter. It's illegal. 2. Your disregard for the laws of the land also calls into question what other rules you may have set aside in the performance of your duties. 3. Maybe most importantly, it opens the examiner up to blackmail. Most marajuana use doesn't happen in a vacuum. People know about it. If the wrong people find out about it, they can influence cases. This guy made a major mistake, and was in the position to know better.

When I first looked at this picture, I thougt "What the - are they shipping these things with prizes these days" Then I realized it was a trigger lock. Looks like a decoder ring or something you would have gotten out of your cereal when you were a kid.

Nice.

Me too. It wasn't bad.

Nice setup! I've amassed a collection of his holsters at this point. David does awesome work. His belts can't be beat, either. I've got a brown and a black one, and don't expect I'll ever need another one in my lifetime.

Good luck and godspeed into the hereafter. RIP

While lint in the weapon is an issue, it is still an issue even with the holster. That said, the holster is good for keeping the weapon oriented and gives an extra layer of protection. Probably the biggest issue with carrying without a holster is the pistol shaped hole you're going to wear in your pocket after a couple of months. I'd spend the $20 on a pocket holster.

Stay away from Lifelock. They aren't necessarily a scam, per se, but you can get a better benefit elsewhere. No one can protect you from identity theft. Most products out there are like a smoke alarm. If they go off, you've still got a fire to deal with. Look for fully managed recovery in a product. The Zander product mentioned above through a provider out of Beaverton, OR is the only one that really does that right now. That is, you experience identity theft, call them, and they fix it. Guaranteed. They also warantee your recovery for a year. This is significant because from a criminal perspective, once you become a victim once, it's likely that the criminal is going to sell your info to someone else when he's done with it. PM me if you have questions. As a forensics specialist, I deal with this stuff on a daily basis. I'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

As a follow up, one of the other co-counsels in Heller, Robert Levy from the Cato Institute also has a great article on Heller and its implications: SECOND AMENDMENT REDUX: SCRUTINY, INCORPORATION, AND THE HELLER PARADOX | North America > United States from AllBusiness.com

Here is a great pro-2A article from an unexpected source - last month's Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy. For anyone who has 15 minutes to spare, there is a great article reviewing the Heller decision and previewing the arguments and likely majority decision in the MacDonald. It gives good background into the 14th ammendment, it's historical interpretations, and some missteps in the court's interpretation over the years. It's well worth a read Mr. Neily was one of the co-counsels for the plantiff in the Heller case. http://www.harvard-jlpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/neily.pdf

Nice. I've got the P99 AS, and love it. It keeps getting better the more rounds I've put through it. You'll like it.

I've got no experience there, and really know nothing about reloading. I can definitely see avoiding lead plate inside batteries, but it seems like external connectors might be okay. 56fordguy is right, though. You better have a way to move it; that would be a lot of lead to move by hand.

Saw this on the DRMO site earlier. Don't know what the fees would be, but current bid isn't bad for 1300 lbs. of lead 0001 - Uncategorized at Government Liquidation

I use the 95gr Cor-Bon DPX in my MicroEagle. Seems to work well, even though I haven't dug it out of anything to test its expansion.
