  1. I won't say that psychological effects are not possible. Getting shot by a LEO could definitely cause issues for the kid. I agree that the lack of a criminal lawsuit with the existence of a civil lawsuit screams money driven. Also it seems like little bullshit is causing people to claim PTSD now. I say man the fuck up and deal, with obvious exceptions (Like being tazed at 10 years old).
  2. http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/01/justice/illinois-children-killed/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 Bitches be crazy.
  3. Looks like the rear got a bit loose about the same time his knee touched pavement. Fear took over and he picked it up. Ouch. Poor body position and line choice don't help any. I'll push it into a low side before volunteering for a high side at speed into a guardrail.
  4. But that cop showed a serious safety failure when he pointed the weapon at the kid. Major no-no. I say fire him, or desk him without the ability to carry a weapon ever again. I'm sure he'll get chewed up in civil court.
  5. I'll be in Columbus 09-12 November. Send me a PM if you need help in that time-frame.
  6. Nothing beats a stress-driven adrenaline-fueled you're-my-hero blowjob.
  7. 1. Tossing my track bike into 13 at M-O and it cartwheeling after me. 2. Being stationed at Ft. Campbell and my wife is still in Columbus. When I only get 4-8 days a month home, it is hard to justify spending that time in the garage instead of with the family. So progress on repairs has been slow. 3. I've only gotten out on track twice. I have knee and back injuries from the Army, so that doesn't help anything. I'm more than willing to push the bike hard (See #1), but I don't feel comfortable because it always seems like my body position is wrong. However, I'm still in the early learning stages. 4. Crashing is expensive. It would be nice to try the mini racing for a cheaper starting platform.
  8. If I hear the neighbor screaming for help, male or female, I call the cops. If they are just yelling at each other and no physical altercation, I go down and tell them to argue quieter. I'll never feel guilty about doing something, but I would feel guilty about doing nothing. However, since they are yelling for help the situation could be life-threatening and time-sensitive, so I also investigate to ensure no immediate help is needed.
  9. I've been wearing Arais for a while now. Specifically the RX7 (RR3, RR4, GP/Corsair V). They can be fitted absolutely perfectly with the right size, liner, and cheek pad thickness. It really feels like it isn't there. Work well in crashes too. Well worth the money IMO.
  10. No way this comes out as anything other than in favor of Monster. Butt-hurt parents just trying to find some reason other than their bad parenting that caused the child's death. Redbull>Rockstar>Anything other than Monster
  11. It gets to 186 faster than my car makes freeway speed.
  12. Too bad it sounds like they just built it for acceleration and not handling. Still sounds like a monster.

    Based on the information given, I'd imagine that the .380 was a small sized pistol, where the larger caliber weapons were in larger platforms and therefore better at absorbing recoil. Yes, larger caliber weapons will do more damage, but at the cost of more recoil and lower ammunition capacity. The damage done with a smaller round will be less, but it still can be stopping if put in the right place. Any round will have at least a somewhat rounded nose, which can deflect if it hits at the right angle. It has happened with small and large calibers. If someone is given a shoulder fired weapon with a long sight radius of course they will shoot better than with a pistol. A .410ga will do more damage than a pistol round, but it also has a much shorter effective range. A .410 also requires a heavier weapon to manage the recoil. If you give me a weapon and tell me to do something or you're going to punch me in the face, I'm going to shoot you. The fact that people were off paper means that they need way more practice. They should not have been qualified to carry that weapon. Kevlar vests are designed to stop pistol rounds. They will usually stop up to a .45ACP. A shot shell will not penetrate, and the spread will impart less energy into one location on the target. A slug will penetrate. The energy is still absorbed by the body, the vest just prevents penetration. A vest will save your life if your hit, but the impact puts you down hard. Two shots in the same place will penetrate. Plates will usually offer protection up to 7.62mm, but they are also used up after they are hit. The round still imparts enough force to put you on your ass as well. If your target is wearing a vest, unless you are in a combat zone, you're in the wrong place.

    What his is not telling you is the verification process required to get the discount.
  15. It is actually very common in the industry. We use insulated shipping boxes, with heat/cold packs depending on the season. There is no shipping in extreme temperatures either. Usually they were also not claimed as snakes when shipped. Last time we shipped was in 2009, so things could have changed.
  16. Looks like a nice little guy. If you have any questions just let me know. We've got 13 and have had snakes for a few years now.

    Practice for high stress and shoot what you are comfortable with. Three rounds in rapid succession in the x ring will kill with just about any caliber. You shoot me three times in the chest with a .22LR and I'm going to find another victim.

    1911's in .22LR aren't that expensive. If the can is real it might cost more than the pistol.

    Being able to handle the kick is different that being comfortable with firing it. If you don't like shooting it, you won't use it.

    Attention to detail is not your strong suit. That round would be 5 1/2 times smaller than a .22lr.

    How many times do you have to shoot them with a .040 cal round? I bet that is a pain to load too.
  22. I'd be very careful. Make him pay with a reputable payment source, with repercussion capabilities (Paypal or the like). Get all his information. Full legal name, address, phone number... I might even ask for a picture of his driver's license with a current piece of mail. Lots of people get screwed this way.
