I agree in that there is a number, but we flush way more down the green new deal toilet than what it would cost to place 10 SROs in each TN school from kindergarten to med school, hell, maybe even the entire US, that discussing the cost seems disingenuous at best. Many of the security systems and other safeguards we've discussed on this very thread can be implemented very quickly, including allowing qualified veterans the ability to volunteer their time at their local schools, we have a wide distribution of vets that finding one or more for each school shouldn't be a problem. This could be a temporary solution while more trained and licensed SROs are made available.

In SERE school you have x minutes to boil water, rain or shine, wouldn't you know it, it was rain. Same a couple weekends ago, had to go do some chores on my new land, rained the morning of so everything was soaked but got it done, which was great because it went to 29 degrees that night.

They took a hit initially, but many have short memories and would buy from the devil himself if the price was right. I personally haven't stepped foot in there since, not only because of the woke stance, but because I am not impressed with their prices, offerings or customer service. I am sure they don't miss me, and that's ok, I will spend my money elsewhere.

Right, I just can't believe that they would pander to such a small percentage of the population when their customer base will leave in a much higher percentage. I really don't think they care how many they lose, it has been shown that many companies have taken a big hit when they go woke, so it isn't like they don't know how it will go. So, they either don't care or think way too much of themselves to believe they can pull it off when others couldn't.

So, you saying baby aint got my back?

I knew some performers were anti-gun, but now it looks like the whole shebang is in on it. CMT Announces Partnership with Gun Control Group at Music Awards (breitbart.com)

We have, and have won major battles in the courts reinstated 2A rights across the country. If you are not supporting local and or national gun rights organisations then you may not be doing enough. We know, and deep down, they know, that taking guns from law abiding citizens isn't the answer. An armed society is a polite society, I firmly believe that, and data backs that up. But for the antis, it's not about safety, it's about control.

I wonder how many FBI informants were used

Don't know how true, but the name is out there already. Everything we know about the Nashville school shooter (nypost.com)

I had my small inverter generator stolen so had to replace it and went with a bigger non-inverter but multi-fuel one and do not regret it. I just broke it out when I went to my land in Hardin County to cut some trails and it worked great. Much heavier than the 2k inverter but it can run all my electric tools with no issue, unlike the smaller one. It is a bit louder, but not nearly as bad as my regular generator I leave at home for emergencies.

And be better off.

It's on topic IMO, many had doubts about the fact that the election was rigged. So much voter fraud was committed that the average person didn't believe, and many still refuse to believe. As to their, and any other talking head's, opinion, you must seperate the "news" from their opinion. Fox, has covered stories that the rest of the MSM doesn't touch, so they will continue to get my views, but I will make up my mind what the story means. As to the rest of the MSM, well yea not gonna happen, their coverage is so twisted there's no separating the two.

May be they hadn't seen these videos.

Sounds like someone that needs a conservative challenger next election.

Welcome to the neighborhood

No doubt, depending on what cartridge they use, the distance is decent, but even then it's dangerous. That is why teams must train, while one officer has the perp's attention, remember tunnel vision works both ways, the other can employ the non-lethal. Though at my age and physical traits (and some LEOs too), I would need three times that distance and still be in the danger zone. TASER 7 Probe Spread - Cartridge Comparison (vimeo.com)

Never been a cop, or played one on tv, and Holiday Inn has become too expensive, so take it for what it's worth. All this is in hindsight, and there is no telling what changing one of the links would do to the chain of events. Having said that, there are only a couple things that I seen that may have been done differently, and the circumstances could have turned out differently. Mind you, I say differently, not better or worse. One is that the second LEO could have gone less lethal sooner, if he had employed a taser, it may have turned out the same, but maybe not. The drawback of course is that the LEO staying lethal needs to cover him and he best be a good shot if the perp turns his attention to his partner or doesn't go down when tazed. The other thing was that once the first shots went off, they could have rushed in and secured his hands immediately. Here, the drawback could be that the perp may have another weapon, knife or gun, and the officers may or may not have seen what happened to the knife he originally had, which often happens due to tunnel vision, so may not have been an option. The last thing I want to point out is that you never assume a perp is down for the count, always be prepared to send more rounds into him just in case. And as a civilian, never approach someone you shot, let medics or LEO do that, he may be faking or still have enough energy to do you harm.

Anyone catch that there were live and dummy rounds at the prop shop too (second link)? Sounds like the entire industry needs a safety protocol makeover.

Under SOCOM, phones and all personal devices are unauthorized in most buildings, specially if there are any classified networks in use, which is most of them on our compound. Of course, they can learn a lot from them when outside, but it's a start.

I had the same question, but seen a vid where the guy made a good argument, sort of. Apparently the missile didn't have a payload, so he compared it to shooting an arrow vs a shotgun. And another issue I'm not sure anyone touched on, is the F22 has a ceiling lower than the 60-65k feet the balloon was at so the angle may not have been conducive to using the gun and still minimising damage.

LMFAO

Well, I'll spin the wheel. I'm going to submit any lower originally purchased through an FFL as pistol lower, with brace, for a free stamp. My lowers purchased as stripped lowers will remain pistols. I'm going the paper route, I ordered and received my Form 1s from the ATF so the most it will cost is the fingerprint ink I ordered, and postage to send them in.
