For the OP's story. Boom, badguy gets just deserts. Nothing better than hearing a CCW holder vindicated for reducing the number of violent asshats on the planet. For Mattm, not totally sure how to reply to your post. You claim to not be anti-gun but the rest of it sounds as if you are or at the very least misinformed about the issue. You compare gun ownership to owning dogs. When was the last time a handgun jumped a fence and mauled a child. Never. Having a gun in the house does not automatically make that household less safe. I have two firearms in my house that have been fully loaded with ammo in the chamber. They have sat in this condition for emergency use for almost 7 years now and there has never been an elevated risk to anybody that has ever been welcome in my home. The problem with the logic I seen in your post is that you are blaming the shortcomings of "people" with the damages that a gun creates in the hands of said "people". In this reality (as far as i know) when an inanimate object like a firearm is used, it always takes a person to commit a crime against another person. Why is the firearm now given a face and called a criminal as if it had a choice or a say in the actions of the person holding it. A child, tween, teen, adult, psycho, depressed, enraged, moron with no respect for another humans life will find a way to harm another person with no regards to the tools they are provided. It could be a knife, a rope, a baseball bat, skateboard or a firearm and it would not stop them. A child, tween, teen, adult, psycho, depressed, enraged, moron with no understanding of the consequences of their actions may harm another person with no regards to the tool they use due to the fact that they have never been taught better. If all of you concerned citizens really want to prevent crime and reduce the violence in society, how about you turn to your children and teach them not to be criminals. Take your head out of your ass and teach this generation what not to do. Stop looking towards the government to pass the end all law that will force criminals to obey the system and do something proactive like raise less children to be criminals. I bet since they are old enough to stand you teach your kids that knives are dangerous, why have you ignored guns. If you teach them about dangerous things in their lives like sharp objects, poison, tripping hazards, deadly animals, why would you leave something out as important as firearms. The current crop that has reached their teen years is probably already lost. Turn to the young ones that you have a chance of fixing, and teach them not to be purse snatching, carjacking, child shooting prison fodder and maybe the issue of gun control will be turned into an issue of criminal control.

Personally, I would rather we address the issue of backyard pools first. They kill FAR more children than guns. CDC already did a study on that, so we are good to go.

Hey everyone, been in Columbus for awhile. Friends with Mike Luong who recommended the forum. Into cars and general outdoors stuff. Been to c&c a few times last year. My current toy is an e46 m3. Bought it a year ago and have only added 2k miles, which is unfortunate. I'd like to maybe track it some if I can find the time. Current daily driver is a 2000 Honda civic: http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/27/e9ypyrem.jpg Also, Tossing around the idea of daily driving my 2003.5 M3. Added a few upgrades since it bought it. Waiting on SGT-SCZA exhaust to get here. Also added 30% auto-solutions ssk, zhp knob, apex wheels, avin avant android head unit, weather tech liners, and westfalia tow bar (for euro bike rack). http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/27/dy7y6ere.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/27/jy9ere2a.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/27/he2eqe6e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/27/e8e3e9a7.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/27/jyzujusu.jpg Allen

Today was great! Trails were sweet, no dust and not as muddy as I would have thought with all the rain Friday and Saturday morning. In fact wth happened to the mile of mud near Williams on the main corridor? I was wasn't mad it was gone, but Steve was highly disappointed. My chain became loose as hell, but was able to adjust it 2 clicks at Williams. Road there hoping to find a 21mm socket, but no such luck. I was able to make due with my 12" crecent wrench. sent using tappetalk!

Ohio is a much better state now that the never ending winter has released its grip.

National Museum of the USAF - Dayton - there can be only one

I think they left a ton of better choices off, but here are a few ones worth visiting; Ye Olde Mill in Utica, OH, home of Velvet Icecream. Trust me, well worth the quick trip out there for some fresh icecream. Malabar Farm in Mansfield, OH, home of Louis Bromfield, famous writer. More just because it's a cool place to take kids and just hike, be outside, and around nature. Small working farm there, and they have a great maple syrup festival. Obviously there are more, but those are 2 that I would put over things like Donatos and Skyline.

Cool read, didn't realize all those places were in Ohio.

Went out on the bike today... Doesn't seem like they have done much... At all... I wonder when it'll get fixed!!

Let's see how bad I fail the sticky for newbs, here goes... Name is Eric, happy to be here. A coworker (dq driver) referred me to this site on a FS ad and I thought I'd check out the scene. My car is an E92 M3 and in the last 2 years I've slowly dipped my toe in the road course/HPDE scene. Here is a shot in action at Mid-Ohio last month: http://images5a.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp63568%3Enu%3D737%3A%3E794%3E259%3EWSNRCG%3D3574824%3B6734%3Anu0mrj Previous rides were Z32 300ZX (NA), B5 S4, Integra GS-R, G35 coupe. I'm an engineer, I like long walks on the beach and my favorite color is blue. And I like ice cream.

I hate gun wielding 8 year olds. http://crooksandliars.com/2014/03/ohio-8-year-old-boy-fatally-shot-brother I actually don't dislike guns, I just want gun owners to be responsible because I grew up around weapons and don't remember this level of carnage. My definition of responsible includes fiscal responsibility. If a gun owner's child gets a gun from their parents, then I expect the parents to be financially responsible for the outcome if their child shoots my child, relative or anybody else's child or relative. That is my only argument on this. I believe that the CDC should be able to investigate the impact of gun ownership in the household. Insurance companies already include particular dog breeds in a list of households they will not insure due to the elevated risk. If gun ownership is as safe as everyone on this backwater of the internet seems to think it is, then there will be no statistical reason for the underwriters to be concerned.
