E4 No More

On several occasions I've seen employers hide flat-out racial discrimination behind "At Will" employment, so not the best of points with me.

I think it's pretty facile for a self-employed person to suggest to someone who is not self-employed that they quit their job when they do not know what's going on in that person's life that affects his/her decisions. Not everyone can be self-employed, and there are way too many unemployed at this time.

A properly applied neck restraint does NOT cut off the airway although it certainly appears that it does in some cases - particularly when using "Lindell's" LVNR method that was taught to LE throughout the country - so it is not a choke hold. It does cut-off a lot of the blood supply to the brain through the carotid arteries and leaves the vertebral arteries open, (although they are narrowed since you stretch them by tilting the head forward), and thus supplies blood through the Circle of Willis. My martial arts instructor actually taught Sgt Lindell the easiest technique to accomplish this while he was attending the Kansas City, MO Police Academy, (where Lindell taught), for the police department for which he worked, (Liberty, MO). It was something that he would later regret since Sgt. Lindell marketed it as his own intellectual property/technique, and too frequently it was NOT properly applied. There are much quicker techniques to accomplish the same goal of rendering someone unconscious, but those take more skill than is acquired in a police academy.   I wasn't there so the facts are out, but as a former LEO I can't say that the rendering of this technique is called for on a handcuffed individual regardless of whether he is about to be spit on as one has postulated here. Police are to use the minimal force necessary to affect the arrest; spitting is just added charges.

When I lived in California back in the 80's while in the Marine Corps I saw a news report of a burglar that fell through a skylight of a home and landed on some knives left out on the counter. The homeowners were successfully sued. Granted, it's Kommiefornia, but case law is case law. :shrug: I also heard of lots of stupid cases when I was a LEO.

Can't say as I've studied TN at all in the matter, but I submit that most cases get solved by the insurance carriers out of court: therefore, you wouldn't see a lot anyway. But since the SC has extended individual rights protections to corporations then the liabilities go along with it. So if a homeowner is liable for a burglar hurting their self during a crime then so can the business.

When I owned my business I was never asked by my insurer if I banned weapons in my business, so based on that experience I call BS. I was asked what type of security that I had on the premises and that was it. What you appear to be advocating is no responsibility for the consequences of the business owner's decision which is total BS IMHO.

Of course the property owner has rights to make his/her own decision: however, decisions have consequences. Case law has been against the property owner for a long time, such as the burglar who gets injured while breaking the law. If the property owner makes a decision to prohibit the lawful carry of weapons on their property and does not supply reasonable security then they should be liable.

Just saw a commercial for Gish's Amish furniture at 131 Cason Ln in the boro.

IIRC, I've never really worried about any critter other than the 2-legged kind. If I lived in the Rockies or up north then it'd probably be different. The no-legged critters would prefer to have nothing to do with you.

Can't say as I did tanks, but I did do 175mm gun and 8" howitzer. Nothing like the kick of a 147 lbs round pushed by 99 lbs of powder! :)

Hey! Pockets are pockets! :)

Although it's EXACTLY what should be made into law, but are businesses currently protected from such a suit? Employees are locked into Workers' Compensation legislation.

I can not only pocket carry the .40 Shield but also the .40 compact.   Desantis E1 pocket holster for both.

First, this is a video version of a scenario that has gone around for decades: Pick someone in your family to die or you all die, and the choice can't be you.   Second: I call BS. Everyone knows that gingers are the ones that would go. :)

Do we have an updated list? :)

Thanks all. I ended up with a Browning from The Safe House.

Martin's on Broad Street in the boro carries Amish outdoor furniture I believe. http://www.martinshomeandgarden.com/   We bought a swing there a few years back.

How does a 5 year old get the cheese to buy one?

I did as did most: however, today we live in a much more litigious society than we did 35+ years ago.

I see where you are coming from, but consider this: if you give teenagers alcohol but aren't making them drink it, are you still charged with "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" if discovered by the popo? What if she decides to claim rape? It's not a liability I'd be willing to assume. Just my :2cents:

So I should have waited a month, huh? :(

I think the point was, does he know that YOU are facilitating the alone time?

In contrast, we had a 1995 Accord that was a POS. The biggest problem being having to replace the transmission with 80,000 miles on it.

In the spirit of "Opinions are like buttholes; everyone's got one, and they all stink!" I'll say that I've had a Taurus .380 and a Slim 9. Both had better triggers than the Kahrs and Rugers of the same class, and both ate all ammo that I tried to put through them. The Taurus .22 revolver that I bought for my wife was a total POS.
