Mike, I see you mentioned the 'bus mirror' incident. Did you know the rider in that? I did. At the time of his death, he held the 24 hour record. Something like 414 miles! He rode something on the order of 30,000 miles a year. He knew exactly what he was doing on a bike. The trouble was, he...

As long as they can get what they need by continuing the invasion, they will have no incentive to fix their own problems at home. Fox and his whole country have become one big, giant leach on the US's backside!

Oh, I see the problem. These guys were bustin' down drug dealers doors, threatening them, and taking away their drugs and/or money. Clearly they were on the feds turf. That's what they do, right? I don't really have a problem with that bust, but then I also don't think I am offended that...

I have ridden thousands of miles. I have lost several cycling friends to cars. I have had mirrors pass within inches of my head as I rode. I have had my rear wheel run over during a hard (read evasive) right turn, with me still on the bike! While I can't speak for all cyclists, I expect...

My mutt is pretty good at waking me. It might be someone in the yard or. if he is real insistant, it'll be the girl dog from down the street. :rolleyes: I had a friend that kept four mastifs in his yard. They were originally bred to protect the British royal family. Interesting fact; they...

The only truly good news I can see is that for every 'good citizen' that turns in a find like that, there must be at least 2 or 3 that find some other course of action. We just don't ever hear about it, because the whole point of their actions would be to not let anyone hear about it. :neener:

I certainly wouldn't assume that anyone with a wrecker was a repo guy. I've had a car towed from my driveway in about 15 seconds! BTW I often check odd noises at night with a firearm in hand. Sometimes in the day, as well.

The main trouble with them is that there aren't enough of them, in enough places. Did anyone else see the news story that said the Mexican army had move 1,000 troops in just across the border?

OK, I guess that proves that the local PD firearms training its every bit as effective as 'hold it sideways and just keep pulling the trigger.' It is fortunate for the officers ...and the suspects that no one was hit. Ya gotta wonder just where all those shots did go. :scrutiny: When you...

Well, OK, I guess it is a good thing...as far as it goes. I too find it not all that impressive when compared to the millions that have said nothing. It seems like most groups, religious or whatever, would want to do something about one of their own that is bringing fear, disgrace, and even...

One thing about SF, if it just stays right where it is, sooner or later, it will get hit by a truly major earth quake again. Sort of a natural 'liberal control ban'. :) Of course, they will probably blame to damage on handguns. :scrutiny:

Certainly, one moral of the story is that if you do something that is likely to make someone mad, it just might do exactly that. Once that happens, logic and common sense no longer seem to apply.

Mr. Demko, I think Art could tell you more about this than I, but most folks in Texas have guns. More than a few are fed up with this situation. Some do, in fact, act on their own. I am in the other end of Texas from the border, but from talking to people from there, I get the impression that...

Ya just gotta wonder what that fisherman was usin' fer bait. ;)

Sure. Go ahead. Just limit the Peoples Repbulic of California to the blue areas along the coast and let the other 90% of the state become the state of Jefferson. Oh, and Texas will be happy to take up the slack of being the largest block of electoral votes, major grower of food, one of the...

I understand that LE can't be everywhere, all the time, to cover our butts. I don't think I'd be comfortable with that, anyway. As I see it, there is a big difference between 'we'll try to get someone out there' and 'officers are on the scene, they will take care of it from here on'. If I...

Shot by his own gun! Man, what a pain in the ass! A low blow, indeed.

Oh great. Now he's unarmed and the crook has already said he'll get him. I would expect that he's a bit more PO'd, now, just waitin' 'till he has the chance for a rematch. What the police should have done, is to thank him, reward him with a good shotgun and tell him to go for center mass if...

Depending on where you are, how your laws there are written and how the prosecuter there feels about it, you could have a problem. However, morally you do need to intervene. Also, in a 7-11, the whole event will be on video tape and shoudl help explain how you came to be in that situation if...

Yeah, I gotta agree. While it is against federal law to have those pesky DDs, if the previous owner had intended to do someone any harm with them, then they would've kept them. I think that someone just decided it was time to lose them rather than reisk getting caught with them or having...
