E4 No More

State infringement of our right to carry aside we do have the right to go armed. I have no problem with employers searching the containers of employees that they carry into and out of a building, nor do I have a problem with them being searched with wands or metal detectors, but I do have a problem with them searching an employee's vehicle in the parking lot. If they suspect an employee of theft then they should have stopped them before they exited the building. If they can't then they should contact LEOs with their PC so that the LEO can search. IMHO, if they cannot search then they are not liable, so that provides immunity.

I fired off an email to my rep yesterday. We'll see if he responds.

I have heard of some employers who have gone as far as conducting random searches of employees and their vehicles. Should that be allowed? Why should property rights trump privacy rights let alone one's right to defend their self? If they have cause to search then they have cause to terminate regardless of the fact that this is an "At Will" state. If they suspect that their property is in a vehicle then they should supply PC to the LEOs to search.

What I don't understand is why this has to be a gun issue to begin with? Why not pass a law prohibiting an employer from searching and employee's vehicle? If there's probable cause to suspect a crime then the police can do it. That would make it politically correct for the sheep and protect us at the same time.

What you get in an Ed Brown, (and other high end smiths), is higher quality parts and treatment of said parts that are professionally fitted. As Leroy said, that doesn't matter to many folks: however, to me I was paying for a weapon that I could completely rely upon to last through copious amounts of +P rounds. As far as the OP is concerned, Ed Brown sells a Bench Manual of CD that would help you fit the parts: Ed Brown Products, 1911, parts?

Merry Christmas to me, (with the wife's seal of approval)! I bought a 1911A1 Serial# 1,888,xxx that was made between 1944 to 1945 and that has been modified with target sights and trigger work for competition. The slide has no markings whatsoever so I assume that's aftermarket as well, but I didn't buy it for its collectability. This has been in my FIL's possession for about 30 years now, and since he's getting up there in age he was going to sell it rather than keeping it in the family. I didn't need it, but the idea that he would sell it rather than pass it on to my son bothered me so I bought it. I also got a couple of bags of candied popcorn, a polo shirt, and a $25 gift card.

Apparently these are pavement ants, (aka sugar ants), 1/8" brown/black ants. Hopefully these ant baits that I put down will handle them. Thanks, guys.

I'm sorry that my entomology skills are too lacking for you, but small and black is the best that I can do. I saw plenty of fire ants in the high desert of California, and I know that I don't confuse medium and brown outdoors ants with small and black indoor ants.

...those little black &%^#$ are that we get in Nashville? More importantly, how do I kill them?

I've never said that you are old.

Lidar detectors are indeed useless. By the time your detector goes off you're had. There are blinder products out there that people swear by, but I've not known of anyone with personal experience with them saving them. Perhaps it's because Lidar use is fairly rare around town. I used to feel the same way about people with RADAR detectors as you do. I felt that having one demonstrated that they were predisposed to speed, so there was no such thing as a warning with them. In later years I realized that nearly everyone speeds at one time or the other - even cops and judges - and many RADAR detector owners use them like I do: to remind ourselves to slow down. I find that the detector's don't allow my mind to focus on things other than my speed with its alarming reminders, (even false alarms). It is constantly reminding me to check my speed so that I tend to drive slower with one than without one.

Again, I am a former RADAR instructor, and what you say is true: however, the vast majority of LEO's operating RADAR aren't good enough at speed estimation to determine a target vehicle is on the edge of their enforcement threshhold. If their enforcement threshhold is at 10 MPH over they hit people at 9 MPH over and in thus doing they warn everyone else in the area that has a RADAR detector.

A RADAR jammer is against federal law too since it is a radio transmitter that would be unlicensed by the FCC. Light, on the other hand, is a different story.

Personally, I like the multicam, but I haven't tried to sneak up on anyone in it. My son is into wearing woodland lately, and we went for a walk at Long Hunter Park a few weeks ago. He being a lot younger than I got way ahead of the rest of us. He decided to lean against a tree and wait for us to catch up. I didn't see him until I was right on top of him, but I wasn't looking for him either.

LEO's are some of the most frequent speeders out there - even while on duty.

There are LAZER blinders out there. They blind the LAZER and sned an alarm long enough for you to slow down.

"good radar or lidar operator"As a former RADAR instructor as qualifying my statement...those are few and far between - particularly in Tennessee.

I wonder how useful it'd be with so many other RADAR detectors out there. I'd hate to rely on someone that isn't there.

Why I love my DVR!

Ah, the truth of which most people are ignorant.

Well, I don't like that modification to the parking lot bill. How about passing a law that says an employer cannot compel an employee to allow them search the employee's vehicle? Nothing about guns in that.

Back in the day, (in Missouri), we ran a DL that hit Missouri's database and NCIC. Today, Missouri was aware that my son was suspended in Tennessee: therefore, they wouldn't allow him to get a Missouri license, so that tells me they are all tied into each other now.

Feds and states need to stay out of the 2A, but that'll never happen.
