Scruit

Hey - anyone interested in Force-on-Force training? I have an email in with Three Tango in the Cleveland area about their April 15th Force-on-Force training to find out how many spaces they have left. To me, this is the next logical step in training after the course we took this past weekend. Force-on-Force is all about threat determination, decision making and confrontation management. This is where they have real role plays set up (I think it's simunitions - asking...) and you'll be presented with real people interacting with you in simulated situations where you have to make decisons about if the situation is a defensive one, how to handle it. This is common sense to me to take this kind of training. They have 8 places per class, next class is April 15th. Dunno how many spaces available. If there is enough interest we may want to see about having them run a special class for us. Any thougths?

There is a name for it... Happens on radio - not only do differents channels from the same network tend go to commercial at the same time, but you can pay to have your commercial be broadcast nearly simultaneously on all channels in the network to increase the chances that your ad is seen by more people. Many ads are target-specific, though, so it won't help. Ads during football games tend to be for beer and trucks. During kids shows are toys and kid-themes eating places. Advertisers don't want people sidestepping commercials by changing channels, especially to another channel run by the same company that you are paying to run your advert. How many ads do regular shows run? Top of the hour, bottom of the hour and two in between? 6 slots per hour? My observation is that during gootball games they tend to run more commercial breaks but with fewer ads. You may only get one or two ads sometimes. change of posession, coach's challenge, booth review, timeout etc. They usually have a minute or two for those. And I know the network has the ability to tell the league to wait for the restart until they get back from current commercial. Nobody, not the advertiser, NFL, TV network or fans wants to miss a touchdown because someone blue-tinted black and white guy with a broken-down mustang is apparently no longer worried about his previously broken-down meat missile.

A butthole? He's wears his costume 24x7.

And Theakston's Old Peculiar.

Then your pistol is only safe if England says it's safe too. What pistol do you have, I'll check with England.

I would have been ok with him retiring at the end of this season - as long as he is out of the program and the message is sent out that even icons are not immune.

The fact that he fulfilled his legal obligation is the reason he wasn't criminally charged with anything. Has no bearing on his moral duties or his duty to effectively coach his team.

So if Kalifornistan (the epicenter of all that is anti-gun) says a gun is safe, then it's safe....

Slow down, turbo - you been following the news? The 28yr old has been suspended indefinitely and they're still deciding what to do with him. My guess is he's toast too, for the same reason as JoePa. http://www.kansascity.com/2011/11/11/3261803/penn-states-mcqueary-put-on-administrative.html

Check out http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/ It's the list of pistols that are tested in California and certified as safe to carry. The test involves dropping 3 test pistols from 3' onto concrete in various directions (muzzle first, hammer first etc). All 3 pistols must pass all of the different drop test orientations to be listed as a "safe" gun in California. The Bersa 380 Thunder (mine) is on the list.

I keep saying - the Brazen Bull for kiddie fiddlers.

The instructor's AD was a result of a lack of firing pin block and a weak inertial firing pin return spring. My Bersa is a newer generation with both of those issues resolved. I don't worry about the gun going off. I carry chambered with the safety off / hammer down. It's DA/SA so the first trigger pull is heavy. (unless I cock the hammer manually - something I was doing before each exercise yesterday - helped a lot with the accuracy of the first shot on the rapid shooting exercises). Had it for 6 years - 1000's round through it. Never an AD or ND. Only ever had it jam on the crappy 6yo black mags with soft springs. They only AD I've heard of with this generation of Bersa 380 was a result of the gun being reassembled incorrectly by the owner.

I'm the opposite. I don't mind lots of slab if I have somewhere to be - but I'd rather carry a gun pointed at my pecker than slab it at commute time.

Every single person aware of sex allegations should have gone to the police. F*ck the contract. I'd sign a work contract saying I can't report this stuff to the police but I'd break that contract in a second if I saw crap like this going on.

If the Bersa went off while I was carrying in the dick holster then the bullet would hit the ground between my legs. The bigger your junk, the further away from your feet the muzzle points. So I'm safe but I can understand why you guys are scared.

It hangs low enough so that it doesn't point AT your junk - it's parallel with and hangs a couple inches lower. Even lower than my gargantuan manhood. While wearing the SmartCarry the muzzle is pointing at feet Anyone carrying IWB is pointing the thing at their butt/pelvis. Even a regular holster is pointing at your leg/foot.

Even the Limey?

My Bersa did just fine. When I put the magazine in all the way that is. Only jammed it twice - both on the crappy old magazines that I knew were bad. My two new mags worked great.

Glad to see you were all appropriately in awe of my dick holster.

We're on to duelling banjos now. Some guy is taking his pants off.

Surprise!

There is no Database Administrators Union.

What will people be driving, so I know who to meet up with? I'll be in a black Subaru Legacy. (Wanted to ride, but I passed 9 deer crossing the road on my commute yesterday and decided it's just too dangerous to ride an hour in the dark this time of year)

There's a sense of humor for you!
