school shooting in Nashville at the Covenant School

Well, ones a red flag law, and this isn’t that. We can provide details of what it is at a later time but it’s definitely not a red flag law it’s just a way to ensure that folks we think shouldn’t have access to guns and be prohibited from having them. But there will be due process, all the due process. The best due process you can have. But it’s not a red flag law. It isn’t even a bill yet. -

Looking at the warning signs that were exhibited prior to an incident like this is useful for learning how to be vigilant for them in your life, and the lives of those in your circle. Attempting to place blame on folks who do not have overt actions to caused them to share responsibility, like the parents in Michigan, serves no value. Her family was made a victim of her actions, just like the families of everyone involved with covenant. Not in the same way, but victims nonetheless and still deserving of compassion. -

You’re welcome. They also do a line of IR lights as well. Only think missing is an IR/WL dual use vampire style version. -

I believe that “iron sharpens iron” seems applicable here. -

David beat me to the punch. I really like stream light, another option that a lot of people don’t know about is Goonbeam. They use stream light bodies with different heads to provide the kind of lumens and candela that you get on the higher end, lights like Cloud, or the Surefire Turbos -

When I say it’s a meme at this point, this is what I mean by that. This is a sticker on the back of my phone. Yeah, it was a hard pill for me to swallow when I got a grasp on the situation. I had multiple of their lights.easily $4-500 worth. They did a bang up job of marketing when they really hit the scene a few years back. -

I also had my mouth (inside lips) burned by holding the baton model in my mouth. I didn’t think about the fact that having electric connectors back there would flow juice out the back way when in contact with saliva. This is part of the problem with them. The issue with the olight is twofold. First is the charging design through that endplate allows the battery to be shorted to itself. Think like taking a wire and running it from one end of the battery to the other. It’s gonna heat up fast. The other is the batteries themselves aren’t of a great quality and tend to have issues controlling heat. It’s a great recipe for what happens enough to have become a meme. Olights get really hot and the batteries blow and/or start fires. The best solution is to throw the damn thing away, cut your losses, and buy a better quality light. -

I almost had one burn my truck up. In its sheath, battery had a thermal incident, singed/melted the sheath and burst. Blew out the end of the light. Was lucky it didn’t start a fire. I prefer that if I’m going to be carrying an explosive device, it’s intentional Me no likey olight no more. -
Nothing too much. The process is in process.

Thanks to @Links2k I have found a bourbon I don’t hate. It’s actually drinkable straight, but I do prefer it in an old fashioned.

That would’ve been far more defensible. That one single rep really, really screwed the pooch for the entire TN GOP. -
And you know you’re about to be robbed inside the shop at the place down the road.

Regardless of whatever the reason really is, it appears it can be only a single reason. One the female rep herself made the suggestion it could be. As to any argument it’s anything else, we had a saying when I was in the Air Force. “The appearance of impropriety is impropriety itself.” It doesn’t matter what it is, it’s only what it looks like. To me and pretty much the rest of the country it looks like pure old school racism. Whomever the rep that voted differently for her is has got some serious ‘splainin to do. -

As someone who is opposed to the ways in which CRT filters down into lower level curriculums, I find myself in a position of asking “are y’all trying to make their case for them you effing idiots?!” -

Facts Especially with the uneven application of sanctions. It was a terrible, terrible move.
