I read a good article about red vs green. For the most part it seems to come down to intended use and preference. https://www.opticsplanet.com/howto/how-to-choose-a-laser-sight.html For me personally, I don't need a laser for outside in the daylight, so red would do for me. Green lasers are also known to be more complicated and less durable, so over time they tend to fail more often on firearms. So, a reputable red dot is just the smartest choice for me.

Asking teachers what their thoughts on anything 2A related is like 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. They are going to take a dump on our 2A rights 10 times out of 10. The ones who don't wanna touch guns would NEVER be forced to, but they want to prevent the ones willing from saving lives. If a teacher is smart enough to educate our kids, he/she is smart enough to be trained to protect our kids. SROs are not any smarter than a teacher and the amount of actual firearm and situational training would likely be about even. If I need an opinion about astronomy, NDT would do. On religion, school shootings, and politics, he has proven himself to be a moron.

Must watch movie/television recommendations & interesting shows

That's so ironic, Pratt was uber-famous by the time I knew Parks and Rec existed. So, when I tried to watch the show, I had the opposite reaction. -
Looks suspect to me too. It doesn't even look like the same kid the FBI interviewed https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/accused-apalachee-high-school-shooters-trouble-home-life-potential-warning-signs

Now that NEW info has been released that the father admits buying his little nutjob a gun AFTER the GBI told him about his son's online activity and the father admits to giving the child access, all bets are off. He's clearly 100% negligent and deserves the charges he's facing. It's possible to safely secure a safe key and someone still find it. You sound like one of those leftist anti-gunners who blame firearm owners when a criminal breaks into their house/car, steals their secured firearms, and uses them to commit a crime. At some point you have to stop blaming the theft victim when they took reasonable steps to keep their gun secure, but a criminal STILL found a way to get access. Nobody with a brain would suggest that parents aren't accountable for the actions of their kids. I know I didn't suggest that! The fact that the kid found a way to access the gun when the parent thought it was secure DOES NOT mean the parent was negligent. You can be as careful as possible and someone still does bad things you thought you had prevented. If you think every time a child does something bad it's because they weren't parented, you must not have ever raised children. They are resourceful and NO parent can think of everything. You don't even know this boy's dad, so how do you know this little monster wasn't properly parented? You have practically zero facts and are reacting almost purely on speculation. It may turn out that the parent did drop the ball, but assuming that before you have those facts makes no sense.

Better looking too

The father stated his son didn't have unsupervised access to his guns. The fact that the kid found a way to get his hands on one doesn't mean the father didn't securely store them. It only means the boy might have found the safe combo or key and the dad never knew the kid had access. Any speculation that the father didn't have serious talks with his son and believed everything was alright is unsubstantiated. You have to believe the dad is some kind of monster if you believe he knew his kid was dangerous and took no steps. I haven't seen any evidence to support the dad willfully allowed this to happen. Kids have been pulling the wool over their parents eyes forever. Think of all the stuff you got away with that your parents didn't know about. Punishing them is only appropriate if they were complicit.

Yeah, that was pretty good. It surprised me...not my usual kind of flick, but I liked it. -
If the FBI didn't have enough probable cause to act, neither did the father.

You mean to tell me I could've been doing this for nearly 30 yrs instead of trying to read her mind? I love Waffle House!!

Lies...didn't work at all...not even on her birthday. She still said, "I don't care"

Sounds like a perfect weekend to me, except the Walmart part, LOL.

That's the doggo equivalent of rebooting the operating system.

For the price, I think you should have much higher expectations, but I applaud your patience and resolve.

I've come pretty close a time or 3 to doing a Fly-N-Ride to buy a motorcycle. I've lucked out and found something local every time. Still wouldn't hesitate to do it. Glad your sale worked out.

Standard deviation and accuracy

Says a lot about the usefulness of this site right? -
For sure, 590 all day long. I should have clarified that I meant the semi-autos I know of with more than 4+1 don't meet the HD requirement on length. They tend to be too long for HD.

With a barrel in the 18" to 18.5" range for HD?

I liked it even better than the first 2 series. -
No recommendation, just a question...do you have any concerns about the reduced capacity that comes with semi-auto for HD?
-
I didn't know "farkles" was a common motorcycle term. That's what we call it in the ADV circle too. I just would never have figure the HD guys would use that term.

Do you sit at the mall at Christmas and tell little kids that's a fake Santa too or do you only hate us?
