I'll be working, but I am going to see if I can get away for a few.

I'll PM you.

Officers are not required to check your paper registration. I run the tag and know whether your tag is valid and if the owner is suspended/has warrents before I even walk up to the car. You were cited for failure to display not failure to register. You can fight it but it will probably be a waste of time.

It's a great gun, I carry mine everywhere. Did you get all 3 grip sizes with it?

Again, that is private property (technically). However, you need to watch the Traffic and Parking guys from OSU. They have ticketed marked CPD cruisers parked at OSU PD headquarters when we were there on official business (and have jurisdiction).

You are correct, private property is a different story. Public sidewalk however, no.

Legally, no.

Depending on the situation it can be considered misdemeanor CCW. When I am asked, I carry mine for opening my mail and new toys for the kids. I told my wife that it was to cut seatbelts off in an emergency when I bought it. Protect and serve, you know.

CBR 1000 you say, maybe I could pick it up cheap seeing how he won't need it for the next 2 lifetimes + a few years for the 2 felonious assaults (or at least the next 3 years in Franklin Co.). Can you put in a word for me?

Even at 21', which I know is extremely close for a knife assault, you are still going to fight off the attack, clear your attacker, n draw your weapon. If you don’t, you are going to die!

In my job, if you are close enough to be assaulted in a deadly force situation, your tactics suck.

In my job, if you are close enough to be assaulted in a deadly force situation, your tactics suck.

It doesn't change the fact that it is a deadly force situation and you SHOULD be shooting.

It is not oversimplified. If someone has a knife/gun/club/pipe/broken glass bottle (method), aims/points/swings it toward you (threat), and does not have their hands tied behind their backs (opportunity), they can cause serious physical harm/kill you at will. That is a deadly force situation! Like the quote that is so prominent around her says "it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6." I have gone before Grand Jury in Franklin Co. before, and if my job requires it again, I will do it again. I will not leave my wife, who has been with me for 22 years nor my 3 small children without a fight! The reality of my job is that every day at least 1 person in this city would kill myself or one of my fellow officers if given the opportunity. It makes no sense to pretend that I am Chuck Norris when the situation dictates lethal force.

It is my pleasure! I enjoy going to work every day (althought it is getting harder with SB5)!

I understand that the intention is to disable and not kill. However, if there is a person with a knife taking an agressive posture toward you THEIR intention is to KILL not DISABLE. If they only wanted to fight, the knife would have never come out. If they didn't want a confrontation to begin with, they would have just left. My point was that if you are in that situation, you are in a better postion if you have a superior weapon. There is a 3 prong test for deadly force in law enforcemnt. That test is method, threat, and opportunity. If you meet all three prongs, you should not be going hands on, you should be shooting!

I did not say anything about firing into a group of people nor did I say anything about disarming him. I was making the illistration that I am indeed trained for this situation. Your initial statement was: "Except that some of us have actually trained in actual self defense including in dealing with things like disarming an attacker with a knife." My statment was: "I have to tell you that only a F-ing retard is going to intentionally take on an armed attacker unarmed if there is another means to bring an end to the confrontation." I don't know how many bar fights you have broken up in your time, but I will tell you that I have broken up HUNDREDS. Some of those were in college bars and others were in thug bars that you wouldn't come within a mile of the neighborhood. Also, I have had to disarm a couple of armed suspects (by hand), in real life situations as part of my job. That being said, I stand by my statment that "only a F-ing retard is going to intentionally take on an armed attacker unarmed if there is another means to bring an end to the confrontation." The day that you have had to go hand to hand with an armed suspect that ends with one of you going home and one leaving in a bag, come and talk to me. Until that day, you are only living with delusions of grandeur .

I'm trained in self defense against an attacker with edged weapons also, and that training includes disarming that suspect. But I have to tell you that only a F-ing retard is going to intentionally take on an armed attacker unarmed if there is another means to bring an end to the confrontation. It is one thing if you are forced into that situation, but if at all possible, you should go in at least on a level playing field. Personally, I prefer to have superior firepower!

This has to be the worst advise I have ever heard. I work for that department and have been present when when a supervisor, from one of our bureaus, informed POLICE OFFICERS from another jurisdiction, who were working security in uniform for a bar, that he would be arrested if he entered the bar with his gun in his holster. I don't agree with it but it is a chance that you take.

It has been my experience that Carfax does not tell you anything inked the damage affects the title IE flood damage or severe accident causing the vehicle to be totaled. I have both purchased and sold cars that have been wrecked and Carfax showed absolutely nothing. Good luck.

I had my msn and Facebook account hacked from England. WTF is the point of hacking Facebook?!

I checked and couldn't find it, but I am not good with searches. I had friends back home growing up that would do this type of shit all the time and video it as they went. Even if it isn't real, it is funny!

This is funny stuff. It is long, but I think it is worth the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyloQRCawTE
