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.

Fullsize S&W M&P .40. Came with trijicon night sights and four 15 round magazines. Only fired 15 rounds through it tonight but it shot great. Little snappier than my compact .45 I think.

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

I see plenty of people on campus parking right on sidewalks next to bike racks. I'd do it if I still had my bike.

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).

I think the best' date=' at least the safest assumption, is no.

I'd say "park at your own risk" if you chose to put it on the sidewalk.[/quote']

This is good advice. There are places where it is tolerated. Not legal, but tolerated.

Actually it all depends. If your at Iron Pony I think you would be hard pressed to find an officer hard up enough to start writing tickets.

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

Legally, no.

maybe matt can clarify this for me:

i was told that if you carry a pocket knife and a cop asks you why you have it, if you tell them its for protection then its now considered a concealed weapon and you can get in trouble for it

not sure how true that is, maybe matt will chime in since he is the "man."

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.

the guy who did the stabbings worked out at the honda plant i work at. i have seen him around several times, and spoke with him a few times about his CBR 1000 he has. pretty quiet guy at work really.

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?

That close enough would be 21 feet. You must be some sort of super hero.

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!

Not if you can't. Should be obvious. If you can't draw and fire your weapon, you can't draw and fire your weapon. If the situation presented means you won't have time to draw and fire your weapon, still trying to probably isn't the best option.

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

Yup. Except in some situations you don't have time to pull your weapon...hence over simplified.

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

Most of that is 'uh yeah duh', up until the "should be shooting" part. That's a bit oversimplified.

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.

^^^ The smack has been put down, and the rest are now shut down.

Matt, thanks for your service to the public, BTW...

Are you cia or a supercop fusion? Sorry yes my bravo was for fzr and his service.

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

I like the assumption that I haven't, no one in a body bag though. The point is to disable not kill 99.999999% of the time. Unless you've had shitty training of course.

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!

Nothing like firing bullets into a group of people... it's just awesome. Only a f-ing retard thinks that disarming hand-to-hand is your only option in a situation like this.

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 .

Except that some of us have actually trained in actual self defense including in dealing with things like disarming an attacker with a knife. Why? because there are people with a realistic view of defense and self defense and would rather not be a victim. We would also like to be able to stand a realistic chance at also protecting those around us.

I did read it. Like I said they couldn't stop one guy from stabbing/cutting 4 people. Doesn't matter if they were trying to stop him or the intended targets. One guy injured 4 people...

You just keep thinking that having a gun would have magically stopped this and other situations like it. Some sort of magical clean shot would have appeared at the right time. Whatever...

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. I was told by a Columbus Swat trainer to never disarm. Carry it everywhere.

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.

Trust me I am not paying anything close to sticker price. I am still trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the thing since the price is so low but the carfax came back clean so I will have to wait to see it in person.

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?!

Repost?

Funny either way.

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.

Just wanted to drop in and say hello to everyone.

Welcome. I grew up in and lived most of my life in Fostoria. I spent a lot of time in Bowling Green.

I agree with shitbrick. PC is just another way to cause more problems. You have to profile people, period. It's a sad fact but it's something that has to be done.

Young people (college age) tend to do a large amount of drugs. Most sport bike riders are young. We can eliminate the drug problem in the United States if we stop all sport bikes, search, then arrest the riders. Just sayin'

You guys are seriously going overboard on this...

I fly probably 20 times a year and honestly, flying is a privilege. If you don't want to be scanned or you feel you are being violated, there is an option... Drive or take a bus or plane.

I want people to be scanned, I want people that want to hurt others to be found. Otherwise, you guys should ask us to revert back to the days where we take people for their word and let them on board...

"Oh, Mr. got a gun in your pants - you seem like a nice guy and we don't want to violate your rights, so pass on through. Don't worry about anything..."

Plus, if you travel enough, you learn to deal with it and it goes quickly. The idiots that travel a few times a year are the ones that cause the grief. They hold up the lines because they don't know what to take off, what to wear, etc...

+1,000. I do like the clothes however.
