    Confused about Terry Schiavo

    Kate Adamson is a woman who was in a situation similar to Terri's several years ago. In fact, her doctors had decided that she had no hope of recovery and that her feeding tube should be removed. For 8 days she was starved, and descibes it as "one of the most painful experiences you can...

    Why do movies never have realistic-sounding gunshots?

    In Michael Mann's commentary on the Heat DVD, he describes how they originally replaced all the gunfire in the bank robbery scene in post-production as is the ususal practice. When they viewed the scene, though, Mann was not at all satisfied with the sound effects. Due to the canyon-like...

    Ms. Delong wrote a book a few years ago about her experience in the FBI: Special Agent: My Life on the Front Lines as a Woman in the FBI. In it, she makes her feelings about guns pretty clear: p. 38: . . . but you're not going to find many cops and FBI agents - who too often find themselves...

    "Covert Action" on the Discovery Channel

    I got the same feeling. I have no doubt that such incidents occur, but with all the talk from the Dem candidates about how Iraq wasn't an imminent threat to the US, wouldn't White House officials be falling all over themselves to tell us about this op? I mean, the CIA supposedly listened in...

    Anyone watch American Shooter - CCW class?

    I saw this ep too, and thought that the instuctor's name sounded familiar. There are apparently some THR'ers who aren't fond of this guy as well: Nashville area permit classes? Its too bad Jim Scoutten didn't travel down I-40 to Memphis and do this segment at Rangemaster with Tom Givens...

    CCW articles in Memphis newspaper

    As I was reading my Sunday paper this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see two full pages devoted to articles on concealed carry. Even more to my surprise, out of five articles, three were strongly pro-gun, one (by the county DA) was pretty much neutral, and of course, a token anti-gun...

    Camelbak

    Has anybody used the Morph? It adds cargo capacity to a couple of the "water only" models. I was thinking about trying this style since it would give a cargo capacity between the ambush and the MULE, and I could use the sabre model alone if cargo wasn't an issue (biking, etc) For $65 ($28...

    (MO) Governor Bob Holden vetos LTC!

    OK, Ms. Wilson, since you're from the "Show Me" state . . . Show your constituents ANY evidence that this ridiculous statement is true. Let's see: ". . . injured either in anger . . ." - see readily availble stats from Florida & Texas (among others) showing the extreme rarity of permits...

    Today on FX- 44 Minutes!!!!!!

    My favorite Hollywood ""oops" in the movie is before the shooting even started - When Mario Van Peebles character is talking to the latino kid in the squad car. He gets out of the front seat, climbs in the back with the kid, and SHUTS THE DOOR! Now, I'm not a LEO, but I do know that on pretty...
