Scruit

Just have to figure out if it's worth the cost to have it installed in the basement versus the garage.

I'm looking at upgrading my gun safe and I've been looking at some big safes at Tractor Supply for about $800. All well and good, but I'd need it to go in the basement and it weight 400lbs, so, errr... Is that even feasible? How do you get a 400lb safe down a set of tight stairs? Do most folks just install a safe of that size in the garage or something?

I went fro lunch with a group of work colleagues one time. We were talking about the prevalence of antidepressants and how doctors give them out like like tic-tacs. During that conversation I found out I was the only one at the table, out of 6, who was not taking paxil or zoloft. I don't take mood meds, never have. I deal with my crap with a nice tall glass of quitcherbichin'.

Who is gonna be first in line for their CEP? Concealed Elbows Permit.

Oh, so it *would* not be accurate because he *may* not have seen the CCW?

How about: "Armed resistance from CCW holder forces mall shooter to flee without firing a shot."

What is the difference?

The first amendment, like the second, is absolute. And if you think newspapers are free of bias, you have some growing up to do.

Perfect.

The UK had a gun buyback after Thomas Hamilton punched his ticket to hell in Dunblane 1996. This a mandatory buyback with 4 years in jail mandated for those who did not comply. They bought the guns back at "market value" but the "market value" was determined after an outright ban was known to be coming, so the value of to-be-banned guns dropped to almost nothing. Therefore people who invested over a thousand pounds in guns (there were only 20k legal handguns in the country when the law passed, so the prices were much higher than in the US for equivalent guns) were given payment that reflected only a fraction of the cost paid for the pistol. Also, the law did not ban gun safes or other equipment mandated by the already draconian laws (UK safe storage law required two safes, attached to the fabric of the house in a room that has no doors or windows to the outside. One for the gun the other for the ammo), nor did it ban reloading gear etc. This extra gear was not "bought back" but was rendered useless by the new law, so the average legal gun owner lost thousands of dollars in the "deal". And firearm crime went up.

See you there? Gonna stock up.

Feinstein says, about the AWB she's introducing next month: My emphasis. This means, of course, that current owners will be grandfathered. I predict she's just kicked off the decade's biggest gun rush.

It shows that guns in schools don't kill people.

So I sat my 8yo down and had a talk with him. I told him what happened in Connecticut, and warned him that there may be some changes at school (more drills, stricter hall pass policy, resource officer etc) I told him not to be worried, and that it was very rare, but unfortunately it does happen. We talked about his lockdown procedures and he described them to me - they have that squared away pretty good. They we talked about safe people - he knows he can always trust his mom and me, and that if the school goes into lockdown then he should always do whatever the teacher says immediately without question. He is to follow the orders of a police officer or firefighter without a moment's hesitation. There. It's done. It breaks my heart to have to talk to him about this, but such is life.

They did in back in 2008. Still doing it. http://www.reporternews.com/news/2009/aug/06/packed-for-school/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrold_Independent_School_District

+ ELEVENTY ZILLION I would like to see those teachers trained to police standards in decision making, accuracy etc, but I'm all for it.

Never underestimate the appeal of a quick jerk.

Hammer a chisel or prybar in there - will produce more separation force than prying. As you have shown, there is a limit to the force you can apply.

Westboro? They're all Fred Felch's inbred hillbilly fucknuggets.

One is made by Oxford. I'll get the other brand name when I get home.

Probably galled/siezed on the dowels. Bigger hammer? Any way to use C4?

Then my advice is to buy a tender with a 2-prong plug. Both of mine as 2-prong. Don't jury-rig a ground. That's like fixing your seatbelts with zip-ties.

Pry it with something bigger than a screwdriver. Heads usually have a pry point cast into them... What kind of car/engine?

That's what I meant by "if it has a plastic case then 2-prong will be fine" Is there's a short to the case in a plastic case then you won't get fried. Metal case has to be grounded - that's just common sense. Another option is to buy a battery tender that already has a 2-prong plug. $20 later, you're finished, no wiring.

Make that felony stick, and take all his guns.
