I attended UTC for a few years and lived on campus. Coming across a beggar on campus was not uncommon, particularly on weekends. We quickly learned to travel in groups, safety in numbers. After a few encounters, our standard answer became... "we don't have any money (college students... duh), but we'll gladly get you something to eat from the cafeteria with our meal card if you're hungry." My roommate and I were on our way back from lunch on a sunday and a guy actually took us up on the offer. I recall him being somewhat scruffy looking, but neither of us got any sort of bad vibe about the situation. He walked about a block with us back to the cafeteria. He sat on a bench outside, we went in and got him a big tray of food... burger, salad, fruit, pie, etc. We handed it to him, he thanked us and ate it right there.

I just feel sorry for the child.

My compact .45. Std silhouette that moves. Draw & fire with 2 hits to thoracic cavity in under 2 seconds. Target starts at 15 yds and moves in at 20 ft/s. Shooter has freedom to move backwards or sideways.

Looks like I'm not going to make this one regardless. The 17th would be better.

Looks like a nice belt at a pretty friendly price.

My wife is gonna cry....

Reflashing the computer(s) is a dealer-only thing. Think of it like a firmware update.

I find this to be a good resource... http://www.handgunlaw.us/ http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/mississippi.pdf

Instead of using the right-click paste or paste button in the tool bar, try ctrl+v. ctrl+x = cut ctrl+c = copy ctrl+v = paste Sometimes the keyboard shortcuts will work when the other copy/paste functions won't. I've no idea why. oh.... and, mmmmmm.... rabbit stew.

That sounds like a good one, thanks! Got any other nifty add-ons?

Sweet!

Legally, you can't remove or disable the airbag. Disconnect the battery and pull the airbag fuse. I've no experience with your van in particular, but sometimes replacing those stalks is easy, sometimes not. The door lock thing sounds like a bad ground to me.

Welcome!

You might consider changing how you train. Fighting is a full-bore sprint. Running is an endurance activity. If you're running marathons, you're not getting your cardiovascular system into the sprint zone.

Lost my babysitter.... Trying to find another one.

I didn't mind some folks shooting near my house... until the bullets started hitting my house. My neighbor found a .40 bullet in his driveway that had bounced off his house. The county sheriff's deputy we called said their "range" had a reasonable backstop and the shooters "had no idea how that could've happened". After a few incidents and LEO visits, it's never happened again. Though it still does make me a tad nervous when my kids are playing outside. But as for changing the zoning laws.... good luck with that. edit.... the shooters aren't really my "neighbors". They're a good 1/4 mile away as the crow flies and it was weeks before I finally figured out where they were shooting. Oddly, the LEO wouldn't tell me after he found them.

Removing them won't do anything structurally to the slide. It'll remove a little weight which will has spring/cyclic speed considerations Re-cutting them could affect the structure of the slide, depending on where, how many, how deep, etc. It's a whole lot easier to cut metal away than to add it back.

This. If intentions are good, its fine. If possible/appropriate, I try to educate people. Most have no idea a "Flag code" exists. Here's the code: http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html and an often controversial topic...

I read it the other day and that's pretty much it... exchanged PM's, sent money order, guy cashes money order and promptly disappears. Discover a couple different addresses... cops, small claims court, .... BFM.

Which is the only reason she's behind the wheel.

Nice bike. I need to find some time and get mine running right again.

Tension springs are easy, I've done them before. Torsion springs... not so much. Got a guy coming to look at it this afternoon. We'll see.
