New house foundation : concrete slab or crawl space ?
Erik88 replied to tercel89's topic in General Chat
Is anyone with a basement monitoring their radon gas levels? #2 cause of lung cancer in the US. I did one of those free tests and it came back at 2.7 which isn't ideal. -
Yeah this definitely helps our cause and doesn't come across trashy at all.

school shooting in Nashville at the Covenant School

Would that not be considered an off duty gig where the Arena is paying for extra security? I know it's common for business to pay an off duty cop to be present. I imagine that for large sporting events they may have an agreement worked out with the city. Or they may figure that with the amount of tax revenue being generated at the Arena, it easily justifies the cost of having law enforcement there. I'm not sure that is a fair comparison to a small private school that isn't required to pay taxes. Doesn't matter what I think though. Bill Lee seems to be moving forward with the plan. -

My niece went to a private school in Florida that had their own armed security. They were not law enforcement. This school in Nashville could have paid for security but chose not to. I love the idea of private schools having armed security. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a private entity to pay for their own security. -

My property taxes pay for more than just schools right? Roads, street lights, parks. I have no plans to have children and I've never felt I'm getting screwed because of that. Private schools are a for profit business as far as I know. Thinking that tax payers should fund their security needs doesn't make any sense to me. When movie theaters decide to have security they pay an off duty cop to be there. I'm not sure why a private school should be any different -

Did you see it was reported that some of the staff may have been armed? -

That is ridiculous. We barely fund our public schools. The last thing we need to do is pay for private school security. -

I think we're at the point of needing an SRO at every school. Private schools like this need to pay for their own though. We just have to hope the SRO does a better job than the one at Stoneman Douglas. -

That is already similar to what is happening. Hospitals have to treat people without insurance. To make up for this, they rape the insurance companies anytime someone with insurance has to be treated. So those of us with insurance are essentially subsidizing those without. Our premiums continue to get higher and higher and that's just to have a policy. If we actually get sick or injured, most of us have to fork out thousands of dollars until we hit our max out of pocket. What we're doing today is not working. -

Can't imagine they put up much of a fight then. I'll have to check Twitter. -

I don't think you were the person he was talking about. I liked your old avatar. -

Does anyone know how other developed countries handle people with severe mental illness? Do they involuntarily commit these people? Asking because I genuinely don't know. -

Nothing is going to change. The democrats had control of the House and Senate and didn't do anything. They will continue to threaten us with gun control every time this happens. The Republicans will continue to blame mental health then refuse to actually allocate funds for more treatment. -
Thanks for the suggestions. My Google search has come up short finding a Remington Factory extension. I'll look up Choate next.

I'd say that is a textbook example of how police should handle these situations. Great communication, teamwork and bravery. -
I have an old 870 Police Magnum that only holds 5 shells. I would like to add a +2 extension. Can anyone recommend a specific manufacturer? I'm seeing several options online.

Which is what I said. By mentioning Fox? Which he already said was the one pushing that narrative.
