    How do you keep your head in a high stress situation?

    I disagree. Our mode of dress is determined by what we think of ourselves. Our sartorial choices announce to those around us who we believe ourselves to be. They also suggest (if not outright confirm) how we will treat others, and -- like it or not -- how we might be treated by others...

    Some see Fresno's DUI crackdown as a model

    I wasn't that surprised, Andrew, as my post (and the one that inspired it) are merely adjuncts to this thread's particular subject matter. I don't recommended others do what I did. Had I been caught*, I doubt the penalty would have been as modest as you suggest. I wasn't caught, though...

    Some see Fresno's DUI crackdown as a model

    Opting out I was once pulled over for a pretense stop. The officer virtually confirmed the nature of the stop when he admitted, just prior to returning to his vehicle, that he did not observe any known violations tied to either my driving or the condition of my vehicle. Indeed, I was...

    Been made scenario #1

    Maybe we're just (expletive) tired of having to constantly interrupt our lawful lives to chase an issue that shouldn't need chased. Maybe there's just no time or money left after earning a living and cutting the grass and reading a bedtime story to organize a protest in front of a particular...

    Got a Gun Safe-Need Opinions on Moving

    My safe was not fire rated, and I see that Mizzle's selection does have a fire-protection rating. That explains things. Thanks.

    Got a Gun Safe-Need Opinions on Moving

    Mizzle, are you sure about the weight of your safe? I had a Sentry 10-gun safe that I know weighed 200 lbs. The 14 gun unit is nominally larger*, but you state yours weighs over twice as much as the 10 gun's rated (empty) weight. Just curious. *I know this because I intended to purchase...

    New Anti-man/Anti-gun law in PA

    Tellner, the title of this thread was a conscious and intentional choice. Yes, gun owner = man, generally,in my view. I've too much practical experience to believe otherwise. Exceptions are pleasant and rare. Nothing in the language of the law suggests that it the law will be applied...

    New Anti-man/Anti-gun law in PA

    Geekwitha45, I stand corrected regarding the entity(ies) to whom the firearms may be surrendered. My original post was prepared in haste. I would politely suggest, however, that the PFA issues are part and parcel of this legislation...even if the subject predates HB1717. Thanks. TM

    New Anti-man/Anti-gun law in PA

    New Concealed permit costs in PA http://www2.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/BI/BT/2005/0/HB1717P2918.pdf In addition to driving up the cost of a Concealed Carry permit by $6.00 (pp. 19-20), this new legislation speaks to those folks who are subject to a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order. They...

    My neighbor called the police on me

    Cslinger gives good advice, palerider 1. Chalk it up and let it go. You didn't mention whether, during the past 11 years, you've ever shot your guns in such a manner that could conceivablyupset your neighbor. If you haven't, well, this fellow's behavior might be excused. If you have, I'm...

    Hamas Wins Landslide 76 Seats

    You know, I don't support one cent of our tax dollars going to Israel. Not one red cent. Why? Read on. Really? This is a country with no constitution and a weak parliment. By law, Jews are not allowed to marry Gentiles. Israel has unscrupulously used their ~400 nuclear bombs to...

    French riots weren't riots after all.....

    Agreed. And I'm sure you'll agree that France would never incur $125B, for any number of reasons. I suggest a few below: $125B is a point in time calculation. $125B presumes every eligible individual accepts remuneration in exchange for their departure. $125B would be spent only if...

    Hurricane Wilma Aftermath

    Well, a good line conditioner will set you back by several C notes. Understand that the gensets sold by the Big Box stores are designed to cater to those folks who want to run well pumps and freezers during extended power outages. Water and food is life. TV shows and web pages are not...

    Hurricane Wilma Aftermath

    Hi Tarpley - I have a Briggs-branded 5.2kw gas genset. It's engine and generator head are identical to that which is in your Troy unit. I just reviewed the instruction manual for my genset, so that I don't need to fall back on "IIRC". The manual does in fact contain language that...

    Hurricane Wilma Aftermath

    Sounds like you have the standard issue 3.6K rpm gas genset. Did you use a line (voltage) conditioner between the generator head and your TV? Given the sensitivity of electronic equipment of televisions and the like, I'm curious to know if you ran your TV directly from the generator's dirty...

    Okay - I've got a generator...

    An inverter will not remedy the matter of your generator's raw electric signal being unsuited for use with electronic equipment. What you'll want to invest in is a device known as a line conditioner, such as what rmgill provides a link to in a few posts above this one. TM

    Philly killers stick to their guns

    Yes, that's a valid position, Art. If only we citizens could control the expenditure of our tax dollars so that we do indeed get more presence, and not more SWAT teams or military gear, I'd be more amenable to the "enough tax" argument. However, we cannot, so I am not. So do I. I've...
