  1. …I would probably prefer a tac light, especially since criminals tend prefer low-light situations to operate. 120-or-so lumens to the eyes will temporarily blind an attacker even in daylight. It also generally tends to put them in a disoriented defensive position allowing for a good strike/kick/stomp. The light can also become a weapon of opportunity at this point. A good strike to the clavicle with a flashlight can disable the limb.

    This is actually a GREAT idea! I actually carry one with a "strobe" function which is even better than a steady stream as it can help to disguise your movements too. I carry one on my LE belt but, really didn't even think of using this for anything other than work...

    They also make lights with a "beveled" edge which are great for striking with.

  2. As a LEO I have OC pepper spray, a baton, and my Sig on my belt.

    Pepper spray sucks when you use it because, like others have said, you usually get more people than you intended to and you usually get some on yourself. Having said that, though, it's a pretty damn effective tool, usually. Some people are NOT affected by pepper spray, it just pisses them off more.

    I don't carry pepper spray off-duty but, I probably should. Even a small shot of it, is better than nothing.

    I usually just have a knife or two. (One in either front pocket if for some reason I am unable to use one hand or the other.)

    I also recommend hiding a few razor blades in your hair and or mouth, and a hand cuff key or two around your waist (you never know when you'll be arrested for bull-shit reasons and need to make an escape.)

  3. ...with Zack Galifianakis. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

    The first 5 minutes was kind of funny but, it definitely had a weird vibe. This weird vibe continued throughout the rest of the movie. I can only describe it as a bad acid trip (and I don't mean that in a good way).

    Don't touch me! I'm a glass of milk. I might spill!

    I had absolutely no idea what I was watching and it was truthfully more depressing than anything. It had one of those WTF endings too. I kept on thinking that at any moment the movie was going to get better, it didn't. On the plus side, I got it from Red Box so I am only out a dollar. On the negative side, that's 2 hours (+/-) that I will never get back.

    For the love of all that is holy, do NOT rent this movie!

  4. Thought this was interesting:

    Honda RVF1000R may be launched by end-2011

    Back in November last year, we carried a report where Wayne Gardner said that Honda would soon be launching an all-new V4-engined Fireblade. ‘While I was in Europe, I got talking to some Honda officials who confirmed to me that they are really looking forward to the new 1000cc MotoGP category. They also said they’ll be building sportsbikes in the future with V4 engines, so they can compete in MotoGP with a similar V4 1000,’ said Wayne back then. ‘Expect your CBR Fireblade to turn into a V4 very soon. Also expect something very similar to the new V4 CBR powerplant to be utilised in Honda’s MotoGP bikes when the new regulations come into force. You can bet whatever they come up with this time around will be something special,’ he added.

    Now, according to a recent report in Motorcyclist magazine, that V4-engined 1000cc superbike that Gardner spoke of – which might actually be called the RVF1000R – could be launched by the end of this year. Only, the bike isn’t likely to replace the existing inline-four CBR1000RR Fireblade. Instead, the more expensive RVF1000R could be positioned in a slot above the ’Blade, offering vastly superior engine and chassis/suspension performance compared to the CBR-RR. Here, Motorcyclist magazine also adds that Honda followed a similar strategy in the mid-1990s, when Honda had the CBR900RR in their lineup for the ‘average’ sportsbike rider, and the vastly more exotic RVF750R RC45 for those with much deeper pockets.

    With MotoGP moving to 1000cc engines in 2012 and with privateer teams being allowed to use production-based engines in bespoke chassis, it does indeed make sense for Honda to build a low-volume high-performance V4-engined superbike that would slot in above the Fireblade. With such a bike, Honda would be able to cover all bases – MotoGP, World Superbikes and also, finally, something that can take on the BMW S1000RR and Aprilia RSV4 Factory on the street.

    We must admit here that we’re big fans of Honda V4s like the VF1000R, VFR750R RC30 and RVF750R RC45. So, of course, we’re completely smitten with the very idea of something like an RVF1000R. We hope they build it, complete with a 200bhp V4 engine, kick-ass styling, single-sided swingarm and that red-white-and-blue paintjob…

    Woman accused of trying to sell girl's virginity

    SALT LAKE CITY – A Salt Lake City woman has been charged with offering her 13-year-old daughter's virginity to a man for $10,000.

    The 32-year-old woman was charged Monday in Utah's 3rd District Court with two first-degree felony counts of aggravated sex abuse of a child and two second-degree felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

    If convicted, the woman faces a lifetime prison sentence for each first-degree felony and a zero to 15 year sentence for each second-degree felony.

    In court papers, prosecutors allege that the woman had discussed letting her daughter perform oral sex and other sex acts with an adult male. The negotiated offer and an arrangement to exchange the teen's virginity for money were detailed in a string of text messages which were seen by the woman's boyfriend, who called police, court papers say.

    In a police affidavit also filed with the court, investigators say the woman acknowledged the agreement and said she and the girl had been modeling lingerie for the man in a local store and at their home near the Utah State Capitol. Investigators say the woman said she had also taken pictures of her daughter wearing only a bra and skimpy, thong underwear and sent them to another adult male.

    In the same affidavit, the girl told police she initially agreed to the sex-for-money arrangement, but later told her mother that she did not want to go through with it.

    The Associated Press is not naming the woman to avoid identifying the daughter.

    No court dates have been set in the case and it wasn't immediately clear if the woman had an attorney.

    The mother is being held in the Salt Lake County Jail. Bail is set at $250,000. A corrections officer at the jail said the facility does not take telephone messages for inmates.

    A check of Utah State Court records shows the woman has a criminal history that includes misdemeanor convictions for illegal drug possession and driving under the influence. A forgery case filed against her in 2007 was dismissed after she successfully completed a court-ordered drug treatment program.

    WTF?

  6. If he is 12 a single shot .22lr might be good to train with also? Just a thought. I started my oldest out at age 8 on a rossi single shot 22/20ga combo. He has been shooting for two years now and is a very good shot.

    I'd LOVE to get a .22 but, I'm getting this for the backyard in a residential neighborhood.

  7. My son's 12th birthday is coming up and I figure he's at a good age to start learning the basics of marksmanship. With that in mind, I'm in the market for a decent air gun or rifle for under or around $50. I'm just not sure what to look for. Any ideas?

  8. I love sigs! I carry a P229 DAK on duty. That gun is bad ash! I've always wanted to buy one to have at home but, there are plenty of other guns out there I'd love to shoot and own.

    Kinda the same with bikes I guess. I love my Kawi 650 but, I'm positive there's plenty of fun to be had on other bikes... I'm eyeing that new Kawi Ninja 1000 for example.

  9. I didn't read most of this thread but, I'll just say that even down here in Florida, I always wear my gear. Full face helmet, jacket, leg armor, and of course my kevlar lined jeans. I don't hold out much hope for the jeans in the event of an accident but that's why I wear the leg armor. Anyhow, it's hotter than hell down here and after I'm done riding, I'm usually a sweaty mess. It all comes down to the fact that I'd rather wear the gear and not need it, than need it and not have it on.

    If people ask me, I always recommend ATGATT. Having said that, it's your life. Ride how you want. It's all about risk management and what YOU are comfortable risking.

    At the very least though, a FULL face helmet is a MUST! There used to be a sight called something like "live to ride, ride to die" and they had a graphic that showed where most people hit when they hit their head and the percentage that hit in the chin area was pretty high. Over 30% I believe. It was by far the highest hit percentage area.

    I'm rambling now...

  10. Any reccomendations? Budget is around $600-$800 on the high side. Looking for a full frame gun. I already have a Beretta PX4 Storm Sub-Compact in .40 cal. I love that gun. I'm seriously considering saving up my money and waiting to buy a 1911 but, DAMN! those things are expensive!

    I'm also looking for a good shotgun but, I've got my heart pretty much set on a Remington 870 Synthetic 18" with ghost sights and pistol grip.

  11. nice. sure to offend MMA guy and Likes to Fight guy... :D

    Someone told me that the clubs down here in Miami have a new policy: "If it's on Jersey Shore, It doesn't come through the door."

    I assume they are refering to Affliction, Ed Hardy, Tap Out, and so on...

  12. ...With A Bunch Of Shit Written All Over It

    LAS VEGAS—Mixed martial artist Phillipe Nover announced design plans Thursday for a new T-shirt that he claimed would be completely covered in hundreds of dumbshit fighting terms and stupid fucking tribal patterns. "This shirt will feature a rambling assortment of worthless violent images and words, like 'grapple' and 'slam,' all thrown together in the most unappealing colors possible," said Nover, adding that graphics would include spray-painted angel wings, laughing skulls wearing crowns, random splatter marks, and other images so idiotic they could only appeal to 8-year-old boys from Long Island or emotionally undeveloped middle-aged men. "It's going to look like two Ed Hardy shirts fucked and vomited on each other. I can guarantee it will be the stupidest, ugliest T-shirt ever made." When asked if the inside tag would also feature an unsightly design, Nover admitted he had not yet thought of that but would be sure to include "machine guns or naked lady silhouettes or something else that's stupid."
