Just another use for duct tape and velcro....

A lawyer for what?

Let the flatulence begin! Bye, bye naked chick. Now I'm naked and alone in front of a fire on a bear skin rug feeling awkward....

I can't find .223 or 9mm ammo locally right now. I'm still haven't found extra magazines for my Beretta 92 or the AR-15...

That is sweet! I'm looking at getting my 10 year old boy into something like this so that the two of us can practice together.

I miss Johnny Carson, what a great entertainer!

I say replace your mice and keyboard. And get a haircut and wax your back...

Bellwether?! I didn't even know this word existed until it came up in my kid's spelling test as one of the top 100 most misspelled words. And I had to look it up in the dictionary. Who uses bellwether?!

But if the LAPD is corrupt, why would someone want to work for them? There are other agencies.

Why can't I have 500 porcupines?!

All you guys are gonna be puking when you find out those are men's asses.

I think the key here is being able to articulate the suspicion. There are cops that have great instincts, but can't articulate the reasoning behind them. A judge isn't going to let that fly. And there are those that have been on the job too long and suspect everyone of illegal activities. My wife was on stakeout with another officer that saw a guy riding his bicycle down the street. He stops and questions the guy believing him to be a friend of the suspect and thought he was a lookout for him - my wife thought he was an average Joe riding his bike. It turned out they (the police) were not only watching the wrong house, but were also on the wrong street!

Chaos, educate yourself on the power supply. There a plenty of decent guides to figuring out how much power you will need. I was going to purchase a new PSU until I read up on it. Turned out my 600W was more than enough for the hardware I had. This article will help explain why the average gamer shouldn't buy a 1200W PSU: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-psu-review,2916-2.html

Dammit man! Don't confuse me with the facts! In both cases, Terry v. Ohio and Hibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of NV, the argument becomes "reasonable suspicion of criminal activity." I would argue that merely openly carrying a firearm isn't reasonable suspicion (in this day and age I might lose). If it is legal to open carry, where is the suspicion? If OC is grounds for reasonable suspicion then can an officer indiscriminately pull someone over to check for DUI (that shows no outward signs of being intoxicated i.e. swerving, erratic speeds)? Also, there have been increasingly more accounts of abuse of "briefly detained". I think 10 minutes or less fits the definition of briefly, but there are incidents where the "suspect" was detained for over an hour.

The 50" plasma has its own pros and cons. Obviously the ginormous screen is great to game on, unless you're too close to it and you have to turn your head to view the whole screen. I've found that it's rotten for surfing the net and reading forums - I have to crank up the font size way to often. I tend to use my second monitor ( 24" widescreen ) for typical computer use.

Where's the probable cause? It's not illegal to openly carry a firearm. What crime did he commit? This is a police department policy issue, not a criminal matter. Police officers must walk a fine line between upholding the law and the U.S. and state constitutions. My wife's experience with the local PD is that most officers trample your constitutional rights under the guise of "public safety." I maintain that an officers job is primarily reactive, not proactive. They show up after a crime has been committed. It's the nature of the job. I know they may want to prevent crime, but that's where an individual's rights begin to get violated. As a citizen, you actually have more latitude to search and detain through a citizen's arrest then the police do! So if a police officer desires to be more proactive in preventing crimes he needs to give up his badge and trade his uniform for civilian clothes. A good cop is worth his weight in gold.

"What comes after 1?!" "Now your arm doesn't get tired!"

So sorry Stick. It hurts being taken advantage by anyone, but especially from your spouse. Keep searching for someone that matches your moral standard. Best of luck.

I guess I'm more traditional than most. I don't think women should be in combat. There is a huge difference in men and women that political correctness demands we ignore. I'm generalizing, so there will always be exceptions to the rule. By nature women are nurturers, which makes combat tougher for them. They also have weaker upper body strength, so if we are applying the same physical requirements across the board less women will make it (you see this in law enforcement, few women can do the push-ups). I think war is a man's "game", we are physically, mentally and emotionally better suited for it. Having women in combat also puts the men in their unit more at risk because we inherently want to protect our women. We have a deep seeded need to be the knight in shining armor. I'm not saying there aren't women capable of combat and performing well. Just that men are better suited for it.

Dammit, I'm ruined! I've now "liked" a post by Pete, what's next?!

Chuck Norris can divide by 0.

You can't shoot them for taking property, not even a vehicle. But you can shoot to "stop the threat" of harm to yourself or another person.

Dammit Pete, when you comment on my thread it makes me feel dirty!

Thanks everybody! This random response brought to you by: McDonald's, I'm lovin' it!

Looks like every shot is a headshot!!
