I think I'm in love with it. H&K USP 40. WEnt gun shopping with the wife on Sunday and after she handled darn near every 9mm in the store the salesguy asked "What about a 40?" I said not for her I want her to have a 9 for her first. He handed me that H&K and it fit my hand so perfectly I wanted...

*waves at arfin* another Cd'a resident here. I've been here since '92-'93 (moved from Seattle area) and love it too. :)

Wow. It's especially amazing after watching all of the slow-motion shots leading up to it. You really get a good look at the way an arrow moves in flight. The oscillations they go through make a shot like that seem impossible. Very cool.

FWIW, since it was a family member who called in and said they had been "arguing"(and we're not even sure that is the term used), per our protocol it would have been entered as a domestic dispute. Domestics are a priority one call and get toned. What's that mean? Lights and sirens, drive real...

Start here for ideas on what can be found in some packs, then adapt your own. http://www.galls.com/category2.html?assort=general_catalog&cat=2790 Also, gloves,gloves and more gloves. ;)

Hmm. Seems like the kid, having the benefit of the press casting favorable light on him and his version of the story is innocent unless/until proven guilty. On the flip side, the LEOs,being agents of the evil/corrupt/power mad(insert adjective of choice here) government, are quite obviously...

You're right. At least at our center, if we get a call from a "dead" cell phone the callback number gives us a 911 area code. We don't have a way of tracking them down. Makes for a lot of false calls. :mad:

Update Just a quick update, this house is now protected by a Ruger. :D :D :D OK, he's not a snarling mass of BG chewin' fury, but he's fitting in well. Ruger is a 4 yr old Chocolate Lab/Chesapeake Bay Retriever that we found at the shelter. It was a choice between him and a 1...

LOL! My wife loves to tell me about the dachshund she had when she was young. Not only did the thing bark like a German Shepherd, the thing had no problem attacking strangers. :what:

The house is actually kind of a tri-level. Bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, kitchen living room/dining room on the ground floor, and a finished basement with laundry room and bathroom downstairs. The bedrooms sit directly over the basement with the ground floor off to the side, if that makes...

I just took another look at what I typed and realized that I didn't state that very clearly. He isn't against civilian ownership of firearms, he just worries about "his boys" getting ahold of a gun and hurting themselves. he's also concerned about the possibility that I or my wife would fail to...

Hso, I do realize that. As I said, some lessons were learned. I was, to coin a phrase, "thinking with my nuts" last night. My ego combined with testosterone told me to do something foolish and I, like a fool, did it. :banghead: That's one of the reasons I posted this. I'm able to admit my...

I've met some of the local LEOs, but being a Fire/Med dispatcher I haven't spent much time talking with them. My mother-in-law's husband is LE for the Forest Service and he has the mindset that weapons in the home of civilians is a no-no. He worries about the boys and the chance that the gun...

Just replaced the light bulb for the light in the side yard. I never even turn that one on at night. It's right above the outside door leading to the basement and we never use that door. :o Edited to add: We just ditched our cell service to free up some money for bills. I gave one phone to a...

All good advice thanks. I know that looking for the BG was a dumb move. Truth be told I'm a bit of a coward, but I get fired up when the family is involved. I wanted the threat gone. As far as the phone goes, I mentioned that to the wife last night. We'll be getting a cordless with three...
