Some people definitely deserve it but thats not what I mean. I think he did a good job considering. I hate that I said some of the stuff I did because I certainly don't want to seem as though I am talking bad about him.

Yeah well as long as he was fighting with her, his hands weren't free.

You're right. Hadn't thought of that. There still had to have been something that he could have done to get that girl cuffed more easily.

Exactly. She wasn't the one being talked to/arrested/cited. She had no business being involved. When she stepped in and touched the officer, she opened herself up to action from him. Now, I don't necessarily condone punching her like he did but he had to do something to take control of the situation. Its ridiculous that it took him so long to cuff the j-walker just because he was probably trying to be gentle and she was resisting. He should have just dropped her to the ground and cuffed her. At certain point, polite and gentle goes out the window and you have to treat (even women) like the criminals that they are.

Incorrect sir. Per the new law it is a misdemeanor punishable by 500 dollar fine.

Because the NRA can't see the future!

I installed a fan in my house. It throws sparks when you turn it on. I need an electrician too. haha

Haha. Indeed!

Ehhh. While I understand what you are saying, I am going to ignore your advice. The way I see it is if I can get a few people to see public office the way I see it, then I have done what I wanted. I want to make people, specifically the people in my area, understand that these people are supposed to be public servants. They are not dictators and we do have a voice. If running for office and letting the people of my area know this makes a few people, young or old, look into the role of government and the way it is supposed to work, then I will be happy. For me, it's not just about winning or being in office or anything like that. But more of an opportunity to educate people about how out elected officials should act. I can tell you now that I wouldn't be running tv ads or anything like that. I would be knocking on doors on every street and introducing myself. Getting to know the people in the district that I would possibly be representing. And when it came time for certain things to be voted on, I would be back on the streets talking to my PEERS, not constituents. I would be talking to my PEERS about how they felt. My opinion is that our elected officials are too far removed from the people to ever truly understand what we want or need. And they aren't asking us. That is the problem with our government. We vote for people and then far too often, we don't contact them or communicate with them. And that is what I would be interested in changing.

That stock is gorgeous! My black receiver from 1974 has a couple of chips in the paint. I think I am going to strip it and use some engine paint to get it back to black. Probably a matte or satin finish.

I drove from Memphis to do business with G&L.

Let me just say that my goal isn't necessarily in politics. My goal is to serve my community.

Thanks Sarge! Thanks Volz! I have a lot to think about and plan out for this. Luckily, I have a while to do it all too. haha

No worries man. Didn't mean to come across mean.

Nice groups man. Nice little target gun you built.

I worked there.

If something raised your hair about this, I would suggest asking the guy to go through an FFL. Its not that expensive. And if the guy won't do it, then you know something is up.

Spring River? Kia Kima?

I should be able to make it. Its only about 5 minutes from the house.

If the temp is above 85, you can generally count me out. I'm a big sissy.

Jeff, We need to get together soon and talk about this some. Maybe around the next UFC. You should come out to fox with us and we can talk.

Don't just tell him. Write them down. Make it a free time project. My grandfather has done this and I am grateful that he did. Although he won't let me read it yet. He also documented his family tree as far back as he could. Its incredibly cool!

Thirded!

Enlarge the screen before you touch it. I have to because I have sausage fingers. And yes making it an option for those of us that HATE mobile versions would be nice.
