This is how I feel about it. It's a small expense and inconvenience to protect your stuff. My dad can be pretty naive when he wants to be. Drives me nuts.

Drag chute or not, I think he still broke the sound barrier.

There's a vid of the first guy's jump somewhere on Youtube. IIRC, he freefell for over 5 minutes. Let me find it...

I wish he'd do that, but New Mexico is 1,400 miles away.

Well, I suppose it doesn't have to be a piezoelectric. I just remember hearing a 110db version as a kid and specifically remember it vibrating my brain (not kidding here) when it went off. I just remember it producing a wicked, ear-piercing shrill. I basically am looking for the loudest, most unfriendly-to-human speaker there is. Backstory: My father, a gun nut like myself, is currently working in Mexico (been there about a year) and will most likely be there for the next year or two. He lives in a really nice apartment complex, but recently, there have been a rash of 'break ins'. They are targeting his fellow employees who also live in the complex, most likely because it's pretty well known that the company he works for pays very well. The break ins appear to be an inside job. People are coming home to find their stuff missing (mostly firearms), with no sign of forced entry. The doors are being unlocked, the shit's taken, and then the door's being relocked upon leaving. A friend of his had his new XD40 stolen. He walked into his place. Noticed a water bottle sitting on his table, and knew it wasn't his bottle; at which point, he discovered some things were missing. Now, my dad is getting pretty worried because he's bought close to $25,000 in guns since he's been out there, and they're pretty much just sitting in a closet. If he gets hit, it's going to suck a big one. Being an apartment, it's not the most secure facility in the world. He called up an alarm company and had them install a complete system on his unit. He had them configure it to go off within 15 seconds of opening the door, and the company is to call directly to the police instead of calling him first; hopefully to limit the amount of time for anybody who wants to smash and grab. I suggested that he get a decent size safe and bolt it to the floor inside the closet. But, he doesn't want to do that since he moves around a lot. So, my next suggestion was to swap out the deadbolt on the entry door, and if management complains - tell them to go fuck themselves since it's probably one of their people that's doing it. I also suggested that he replace the bedroom and closet doorknobs with deadbolts so that it will possibly slow them down a little bit more. I then asked him if the alarm system had a loudspeaker to alert anybody within a mile radius. He told me that it's got a small speaker that the neighbors could hear. It was at this point that I told him that's not enough, and got the idea to use as loud a speaker as possible - something that will hurt. So, here I am. Looking for something for him that can be used as even further deterrent. I'm serious when I say I want it to hurt people, not just be annoyingly loud.

The potential for them to cause ear bleeding would be preferred. What's the loudest SOB they make?

1. Don't shop at Gander unless it's a last resort. Gander = $$$ 2. It sounds like you held a G17RTF. Go find a regular Glock to hold. 3. The rough texture on the grip is nice if you're running the dog shit out of the gun (even 9mm), or you're in shitty conditions. If you're a casual range shooter, it won't make a bit of difference. Get what's comfortable to you.

Simple. Boy = family Dog = family Do you suppose the cougar would mind if you waltzed into it's den and started disrespecting one of it's cubs? Sure s/he would. S/he's probably going to throw you a beating. BTW, I'm not being emotional. If it were some stray dog that I didn't give a shit about, then by all means, let the cougar get himself a snack. My dog? Cougar's getting shot. Also, I guess I should mention that I would only shoot said cougar while it's in the act of attacking the dog. If it's already got it's taste and released it, I would by no means go on a witch-hunt for the thing in order to seek revenge.

And here's the way I feel about it: -Humans are animals, whether they want to admit it or not. -Animals have to fall somewhere in the food chain. -Mother Nature decided not to give us 4" claws, 2" talons, or a razor sharp-never ending supply of teeth. What she did give us was a rather advanced brain (for some of us anyways...). -That brain has allowed us to shimmy our way to the top of the food chain, through technology. We're smart enough to invent things like, knives and guns and such. -This ability to invent things puts us smack dab at the top of the food chain. I'm sorry Mr. Cougar. I know you got a sweetass set of claws and teeth, not to mention raw power, but my gun is going to kick your ass every single time. Humans > all.

"Here lies Jesse Trouble maker" "He got his dumbass kicked by Nature."

I agree. I volunteer you to be the one to go up and ask it nicely to take that dog's head out of it's mouth... ...j/k. Shoot and stuff that motherfucker. :bangbang:

I've heard him in a song before using his real voice. ...sounds just like every other rapper.

fixxed for the noob.

Bolded for truth. We just went through some itemized bills the other day at work (we're in an orientation program) that shows how everything we do, as nurses, affects the hospitals. It was meant to show us how we can trim waste and expenses to the patients/insurance companys, and in the end, save the hospital money. Jesus Christ, that stuff adds up quick. It's amazing how a few dollars here or there, and 12 different meds/day can add up to a $150,000 visit in no time. -$900/day for ICU room and board -angiocaths = $8/ea -albumin = $500/dose -etc. And the funny part is, I didn't really find any charges that I thought were 'excessive'. Its just that healthcare is expensive. No real way around it.

Pointless.

Those are the vids I was trying to find. That guy is legit. IIRC, he's a Master or GrandMaster class shooter; those folks can do impossible shit with guns. They're crazy good. It's also been verified by several other USPSA/ISPC shooters. He can do it with pretty much any gun, no weak springs or any BS like that. On that note, I've tried it with my G23........and I fail. Budges maybe .25".

I've always told people that there's a VERY simple way to prevent a cocked and loaded gun from 'going off'... ...don't pull the trigger.

Never get into reloading for the cost savings. Get into it because you want to shoot more, and have higher quality ammo.

DO NOT GET A CAI. Interarms, or go home.

Bible thumpers crack me up. I had a Tech at the hospital ask me yesterday if I've ever seen someone's 'soul' leave them when they died; because she swears she has. :ugh:

1. Abort 2. Gonna need some pics 3. Howard FTW 4. Sounds like your sis is DTF. #? 5. Pics?

Range suicides are not that uncommon. Why these worthless fucks can't go buy their own damn gun and do it at home is beyond me. Quit fucking up my ranges and giving the anti's ammunition, with your emo bullshit. That said, I quit going to public ranges a couple years ago.

Not really. P-Mags shit all over everything else. The newer version has a cap to prevent feed lip spread.
