All while the cop is threatening, cursing, and insulting this guy about having a gun in his presence, I can't help but wonder what would happen if the guy had said 'what's that on your hip? a gun?'. Also, he told the alleged hooker and pimp that if he sees them again they'll "get lumps" or something like that. Sounds like an illegal threat to them too.

I hate getting sniped in an auction, but I'd be really mad if I missed a good deal over 6% of the final sale price.

Great idea, thanks for posting it...sticky please!

yep, me too...thought it was a Firefox issue at first, but IE's doing it too. I change pages and try to post and get errors.

I thought the same...in fact, the only reason I clicked was to see w/ my own eyes, LOL.

LEO's are trained to exert a sense of confidence that is akin to dominance. There's no room for being wishy washy or timid in their line of work. The must appear to be in charge of every confrontation. I suspect this is often mistaken for a "power trip". However, the officer in this video has some serious issues. The language he uses aside is unnecessary, but the threats to a fully cooperating citizen are just plain inexcusable. My guess is that he'll be attending some on the clock anger management classes and be given a lengthy paid vacation soon.

You know your wife won't let you buy another gun.

I cannot agree with the "butt out" attitude regarding the abortion issue. In most cases I agree that I should mind my business, like when it comes to what kind of light bulbs my neighbors buy, whether they have tattoos and piercings, what kind of gas mileage their car gets, whether they like porn, how much beer they drink or weed they smoke, whether they believe in God, or what their favorite sexual position is. These are the kind of things that hurt no one. But, if I hear/see a neighbor beating his wife or kids, I cannot stand idly by and ignore it. I can't just dismiss it as his right to choose how he releases his tensions. Getting an abortion is not like having a mole removed or a scar touched up. A human being is killed in the process. So, calling the abortion victim a "fetus" as if it's just a sack of tissue with nothing at stake in the "choice" doesn't mean the baby isn't alive. It's a serious subject that I feel deserves serious scrutiny. Turning a blind eye and marginalizing the value of the life at risk doesn't seem to like how you deal with a serious subject.

We trusted that the doctor was correct and that my wife would, in fact, die if she did not have the surgery and chemotherapy. So, we felt we had no choice but to have an abortion.It was the an easy decision then and every time I look at my daughter, born almost 2 years later, I am glad she is here and that my wife is alive. However, I'd be lying if I said that the decision doesn't bother me today. Like db, I'd die for my kids and so would my wife, but we had to also consider our then 2 yr old son as well. Maybe that makes my strong Pro-Life position seem hypocritical, but my regrets don't outweigh the good that came from our choice.

I've carried this one every day for almost a year on the same AA battery. It comes on every time I click the button and is easy to carry at only 4" long and 1" across at the widest part. At first, I thought $13.65 w/ shipping for a 180 lumen light sounded too low to be trustworthy, but it's been good to go whenever I need it. It has Hi/Lo/Strobe, aluminum body, tail cap clicky/clickie, and pocket clip. Plus it takes one AA or one CR123A battery. So far, I've been happy and am glad I didn't spend $100 on one.

Although I acknowledge that it is rare to "need" an abortion to save the mother's life, I found myself in the exact situation you've described. In late 1994 my wife was pregnant with our second child. Within 6 or 8 weeks we found out she had advanced lymphoma. We struggled for all of a day at the most with the decision of whether she had an abortion, surgery to remove tumors, and chemotherapy or died from cancer within months +/- of giving birth (as estimated by her oncologist). Our oldest, a son, is shipping out to the Marines exactly one week from today. He did not deserve to grow up without his mother and would not be the man he is today without her influence. Our youngest, a daughter, was born in late 1996. I cannot imagine life without her and owe her existence to our decision. As I see it ALL life is precious, whether it's an unborn living child or the mother carrying that child. While I consider myself strongly Pro-Life today, I'd obviously NEVER ask a woman to risk her life if an abortion could save her. Otherwise, whether it's been born a week ago, conceived a week ago, or somewhere in between I believe the rest of the abortion debate has always and will always hinge upon when the law decides a child is too old to kill.

Here's how that works...

They forgot something... After the cow pulls the round into the chamber, it falls through a trap door. Then the springy thing pushes the cow down a secret passage behind the executive office. Duh, how else does it get back to the ramp thingy below the rec room to pull the next bullet.

I like the video, good job Greg.

I only saw a few Mosins at the gun show today. The ones I did see looked nice at least. Unfortunately, I didn't see them until they were closing. I think they'd be about $125 OTD. That's not much higher than a hand picked one online after shipping AND I get to see it before I buy it. Think that's too high? Also, if I brought my C&R license to the show, do you think they'd still charge me TICS?

John, I hope you enjoy that book or at least get as much out of it as I did.

As usual, had a great time today. Thanks to all that made it happen. All of the stages were fun & challenging, but the stage with the TX star was the most fun. I wish it had been the stage that you shoot twice! Wish I could have stayed to finish the shotgun side match, but at least I got to shoot half.

If I don't find a decent one at the gun show this weekend, I'll have to start looking online again.

You got it! It's going in my range bag now.

I'm looking forward to this match. Put me down for +1, a friend at work is coming to his first IDPA match. I think he's gonna love it too. I appreciate the advice Greg, thanks.

Let's say I dread another trip to get something better. What choke will help the most on a 28" barrell?

Yeah, I didn't feel very appreciated, LOL.

I have my C&R on file at all 3 as a matter of fact. Just forgot about AIM. I'll try them too, thanks for the reminder.

So, I have 19 rd mags for my gun. Are you saying I can shoot ESP and use full mags? One other question...will 1-1/8 oz #7 shells work for the shotgun match?

OOH! A caliber debate. These are always good for some fun.
