Verbal communication skills. They need the confidence and vocabulary to adequately communicate clearly and with tact. The ability to listen, process what they heard, and respond appropriately. Whether asking or answering, with adult or another child. The value of hard work, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Both physical work of sports or building/fixing things, and mental work of school subjects. Work seems less like drudgery when they can see the goal/end game.

A lot of your post was accurate but you missed the mark on this part. I don’t recall these violent protests. I remember the city being peaceful by the national standard of the time. As for the hiring standards, nothing has changed since she took control in June of 2021. And all of the officers involved were hired between March 2017 and August 2020, nearly a year before her tenure began. I have no problem lambasting her for any role she played, but it’s not necessary to throw dirt on her that she didn’t earn. She’s earned enough on her own.

From where I'm sitting we have lost a great many teachers ( elders) and that's the key, or it was for me. My rearing was done by an older generation and now with each passing generation the circle grows smaller.

Teach him that he will be the provider and protector of his family. Also teach him about Jesus the Savior and God the Father.

I agree with a lot of the above. Here are a few more. There are no perfect 3. How to walk away from a fight. Sometimes the best win is avoiding it. About that age I had no concept of that. Applies to boys and girls for both physical and verbal fights. Nothing is accomplished. Basic physical self defense. Nothing fancy, just how to save their ass if it turns into a brawl before they can walk away. Or in case an adult tries to drag them off. At that point there is no fair fight. Doesn't have to be martial arts or anything. How to punch without breaking their hand or cutting themselves up on teeth. How to correctly sharpen a knife. How to do basic car maintenance. Change the oil, swap the wipers, change out bulbs, etc. If nothing else, it is a way to save cash or make a few dollars in a pinch. How to cook basic food. Fry eggs, make grilled cheese, or heat up canned soup. You would be surprised how many adults can barely do that. How to wash clothes How to sew a basic stitch. Again nothing fancy, just something to close up a hole in the crotch of their pants or shirt in an emergency or until they can buy more. I've darned socks, sewed zippers together, etc just so I can make it until the end of the day and not have to leave work unpaid. Plus, I use the same skill in my hobby leatherwork. Kids need to know a lot to be well rounded and that age is a good time. When they get into their teens, they think they already know it all. lol

How to change a tire. How to do simple plumbing fixes.

I've told my boys to always be nice and respectful of every girl they meet. The ugly girls especially. Some of them will end up drop dead gorgeous in their 20s and they'll remember that you were the one that was always nice to them.

For years I preached at my kids to maintain "Situational Awareness" and always remember that "two is one and one is none". I have since heard both my kids repeat these. Made my chest swell.

That their value as a person is not defined by how much money they make, what kind of vehicle they drive, or how big their house is. Rather it is found in how hard they work, how hard they work on improving themselves, and how they treat others in this world. Teach them critical thinking skills and how to ask the tough questions of the people around them, the world around them, and most importantly about themselves. They should learn to be comfortable or at least confident enough to ask those tough questions and critically evaluate the answers for bias and truth especially in the case of authority figures or even their own parents. Teach them that life long education is a necessary and worthy endeavor. That does not necessarily mean traditional school, college or university by the way. Education comes in many forms and should be valued. There are many paths to success and happiness and most of them have nothing to do with money or what you own. They almost all come from within first. All that "money does not equal happiness" talk should be tempered with a really good lesson in money management. Money does not equal happiness but poorly managing it, debt, and constant struggles surrounding money can sure bring lots of stress and unhappiness.

Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO. Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with. Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete. Your experience will help others. Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun! None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction. They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns. DON'T DO IT. Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO. Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

I'll go along with what's already been mentioned. But I'll add learn to listen to, respect and learn from your elders. Good manners and common courtesy. As far as practical skills, by age 8-10 a child should know how to properly and safely use and care for a knife. The four firearms safety rules. How to fix simple no cook meals. Cereal, sandwiches and such.

According to the report, Baldwin missed the mandatory on-set firearms safety briefing. Then when he was getting a private safety briefing, he spent most of the time on his phone and not paying attention. He should never have been allowed to hold a gun. The production was plagued with safety issues all along to the point that some of the crew quit. The State of New Mexico has already heavily fined the production for numerous safety violations. From the DA: "The filing comes nearly two weeks after she first announced that Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed would be prosecuted for what authorities have described as a pattern of criminal disregard for safety. " The assistant Producer that actually handed Baldwin the gun struck a plea deal and avoided charges. In total, 3 people handled that gun and none of them properly checked it. In short: Baldwin thought he was too big a star to bother with the little things. That arrogance got someone killed.

The associate producer took a plea deal. He's just as culpable as Baldwin and the armorer* but only the first to squeal gets the deal. * If what the armorer's attorneys say is true, she may very well be found not-guilty.

He was an arrogant d!ck long before I knew his politics. That aside though, 1. He took on the role of producer in addition to actor and it's my opinion THAT makes him more responsible for what happens on both sides of that gun. 2. Instead of owning up to firing the gun, even accidentally toward her or in her direction he goes on national TV with George Snuggleupmypuss and proclaims he never touched the trigger. I feel a lot of actors would have at least said " you know what ,I was told to pull the trigger, I did, and now this whole thing is a terrible tragedy/accident. I feel like his multiple roles make him the main fall guy in this case. Unless I heard it wrong there are suppose to be a crew of 3 on the set when weapons are involved and he cut 1 out due to budget. That's as good as saying "we could have been safer but I wanted to cut corners".

For a kid, or for anyone else, #1 is always "Pay attention to what is going on around you." That one is far ahead of whatever is in second and third place. My opinion, and worth every cent you paid for it. Cheers, Whisper

The patrol officer that momentarily grabbed Nichols feet is also under investigation, but this is Lt. Dewayne Smith who leaned over Nichols and told him he wasn’t going anywhere. Smith is currently attempting to retire.

It has to be resurrected every quarter.

I better pass on the derringer.. I'd blow my toes off with it. GLWS! Guys buy with confidence. Seller is honest and trustworthy.

It is a great deal for two lucky people. Hoping it goes well this year. Already planning bigger for next year. Probably a Dangerous Game hunt if all goes well. Thanks and Good Luck! GPFootprintsafaris.com if you are interested in checking out their website

There are a lot, but anymore the #1 thing that seems to be lacking is the ability of kids to cope with adversity and failure. They need to learn how to deal with adversity and failure and even understand what is even worth caring about. Failure is a great teacher. Putting them in positions to fail is not all bad. They need to then use some reasoning to figure out why they failed and how they can improve next time regardless of the scenario.

To answer your questions, my apologies for not including that pertinent info in the original post: M1 Mildot reticle SFP .25 moa turret adjustments

The safety protocols used in the industry that were developed with the assistance of the NRA remove the actor from the chain of responsibility for ensuring any real firearm used as a prop is safe to handle. While they were an improvement over prior protocols and practices, I don’t see how they actually hold any legal weight with regard to culpability for anyone’s actions. The NRA isn’t a government body that has the ability to absolve anyone of responsibility or grant legal immunity as long as someone follows the rules they set forth. Regardless of the outcomes here, I suspect the industry is going to have to develop new protocols that involves more training of the actors who may handle real firearms as props, and more directly involves them in the chain of responsibility for safe usage and handling.

SOLD pending meet up.

Wondering about your self-defense ammo? Is it the best? What's the difference between being shot out of a 2" barrel .38 special and a 4" .38 special? What's hype and what's not? I recently heard Roy Huntington mention that there's all the hype and then there's science. Roy recommended this site for the science. Brass Fetcher Ballistic Testing The gentleman who runs the site and supervises the controlled tests is a qualified expert witness and has worked with numerous government and private agencies. This is not fluff selling you one brand of ammo over another. This is scientific testing and the results. Frankly, I thought I knew what was best. Turns out I don't. Reading this site has opened my eyes and has changed my mind about many of the ammo cartridges I've been carrying. I let my feelings get in the way of facts but now I know better. There're few things in life more worthwhile than exchanging incorrect thinking for better information. Spend some time on this site. You may have your mind changed as well.

I know I'd enter.

Morning all, Darrell, check out the Castboolit forum where the myth of lead in Glocks is debunked. A properly sized cast and loaded lead bullet shoots just like jacketed bullet in a Glock. Mistakes and sloppiness in any type of reloading jacketed or cast bullets leads to failures in any firearm. ‘My last sentence on the reloading forum was “ If you’re in a hurry to reload, DONT” !! Mike

Normal command structure. LTs and Majors in the CoC.

An FFL on the other hand must comply immediately.

There was a lieutenant on scene that night. He was the guy in the skull cap leaning over Nichols telling him he wasn’t going anywhere. He’s more than likely the seventh cop under investigation.

Cheaper by the dozen! I had the Tourer before I moved to Tennessee. (it has 155k miles and runs like a top, also) Right after buying the place in Knoxville, I found the Interstate for sale on Knox craigslist. (it has 31k and should last me the rest of my days) Before even going to my new house, I jumped in a rental car from the airport and delivered the payment for the Interstate, my first official act in Tennessee. I had to ask the seller to babysit it for 2 months while I finished moving. The hardest part right now is rotating the three of them out of the garage regularly through the winter to keep them all happy. These damned first world problems!

I hope reloading supplies follow suit.

I don't think there is an end all, be all revolver. But I don't think there is a end all, be all semi-auto either. Whatever revolver that feels and shoots the best for you is what you should get. Personally, I find the SP101 too heavy for carry, with only a five shot capacity. True, it's built like a tank, and it may have the fewest working parts, but I would hazard a guess that 99% of us have zero need to every take a revolver apart to work on one. I'm 59 years old and I never have. My first revolver was a S&W Model 13 with a 4" barrel. It was a good accurate revolver. So was Model 10 that was a TDOC trade-in. So was the Ruger GP100 6" in SS and the several SP101s I've owned over the years. Along with the S&W Model 36 and 38. Really loved the little Colt Agent, but I traded it away for Mossberg 590 shotgun. Also had a little S&W Model 32 that was an accurate little snubbie. The last two are the ones I most regret trading away. Right now I have a S&W 442 and a Taurus 627 Tracker. Love both of those and am perfectly happy. But I hazard another guess and will say that both of those are very libel to be traded away on something else, at some point. But I'd be happy with any of those that I listed above.
