  1. Yes, but in this case the agreed price seems to have been on the paperwork. They just reneged the deal because it was the wrong price. If all the paperwork is the same, there should be no recourse. I can't buy a car for "x", look online and find out it is worth less and go get my money back.
  2. Well, I'd like to read it for myself, but that seems to be enough to quash the pyro. I'd imagine same rules apply to a wire trigger for a CO2 device? I hate car alarms. I just keep my cars clean and stock and that usually serves as a decent deterrent. Its too bad that even discharging a device just generating sound could possibly be construed as intent to cause bodily harm.
  3. Does the customer have the same rights to return the vehicle if he finds he overpaid? I doubt it.
  4. Agnostic is the belief that you don't know what is out there. It is more that you are not discounting the possibility of a higher power. I understand it as believing you don't know and can't know. But yes, many use it as a safety net. At least it allows them to have their own beliefs, attitudes, and values.
  5. Make sure you shoot the USP first. They feel crappy to me when shooting. Just big and bulky.
  6. Hope he wins every penny. Fucking rats.
  7. Just wow. I'm glad i do my own work.
  8. All the above I agree with. Civilian ownership of a flashbang is illegal. Simulators are legal with CO2 sources (120db-130db). Unsure on legality of simulators with pyro sources. I was planning on using a flashbang simulator, such as those used in military training environments. I believe they still use a small pyro charge, but no real incapacitation/damage from noise or light. I believe there is no or very little fire risk as well. I know the safe distance for us was pretty much on top of you. If those were illegal, I was planning on using the CO2 variety, which is completely legal. Not sure if it is legal to use with a wire activator. I figured anything that could do them harm could get me arrested. That nixes the CS and beanbag rounds, as well as electrocution. The use of marked bills sounds like a good idea as well. I might have to make a call on that to see if they care enough. I doubt the minor value of loss will perk their interest. The silent alarm is a good idea if I was at home. Since I'm stationed at Campbell and its just my wife at home, I'd rather a loud noise to scare them off while alerting her. As to them being close by, I agree. But that's why the persuader is loaded and next to the bed. I like the perimeter alarm idea. Pretty much the same thing I was going for, just no simulation banger. Although that brings up another point; will it violate a noise ordinance? I also agree a LEO's opinion would be nice. I'll talk to one once I'm back in town.
  9. So my wife's care got broken into by some inept thieves a few months back. They took her aftermarket radio, with nice pop tabs for easy removal, by breaking the radio trim with a screwdriver. I finally got the replacement parts and the time to fix it this weekend. I was greeted by this clusterfuck of hillbilly alarm wring. The same night I fixed it people broke back in and rifled through the car. Obviously now she keeps nothing of value in it, but this just pissed me off. One of the power door locks does not work, and I'm pretty sure forgetting to manually lock this door was likely the entry point. Luckily I have a background in the military and blowing stuff up in general. I'd like to wire a flashbang simulator (Pyro if legal (Blast shroud to direct heat and pressure out of car), else wise the best alternative) to the door with the manual lock. Since the device would only be triggered by someone intruding into personal property, and the device would be non-lethal and conform to minimum safe distances, would it be legal? It's not really different than a car alarm, other than my replacing the siren with a more effective noisemaker... I personally think that after repeated attempts, they deserve to crap themselves thinking they just set off a mine.
  10. SIG over an M9 (92FS) any day. Still can't beat a 1911 in .45 ACP...
  11. Who cares what the specifics are, the real question is where was she when I was in High School?? Sucks for the kid because it'll never get better than that. Well, save meaningful conversations.
  12. Organized religion is a huge problem in our society today. So many people listen blindly to what a book or some person tells them that they are willing to change their beliefs and way of life just to fit into that mold. Even worse is that most religious people are happy and even encouraged to spread and force their opinion on everyone else. People that are against gay marriage can't just be happy that they aren't going to marry another person of the same gender, they have to make sure everyone can't. People against abortion can't just be happy to not get abortions themselves, they have to make sure everyone can't. People that don't want women to have rights won't be happy until all women have no rights and can't read. Etc... All because their religion is opposed to it. Most of the time, that religious doctrine they are following/interpreting is thousands of years old. If everyone would just worry about living a good life and being decent to everyone else the world would be a much better place. Hell, I'd even be happy with everyone just keeping their religious views to themselves.
  13. No problem. I've be stationed/deployed in places without a rink for four years and I'm getting out in ~6 months, so I'd be nice to get back on the ice.
  14. No, its porn and then sidetracked by other things until you get back to porn. Geez.
  15. I'd expect so with nothing broken. Although its like a 30 minute ambulance trip (Not including the response time) to get anywhere so less serious things can get very serious quickly.
  16. RIP I had a rough day last time I was there but nowhere near that.
  17. What level? Need a netminder next spring/summer-ish ?
  18. I think "a while" might be being generous..
  19. And I'm not just an asshole online, I'm an asshole in person too. It is one of my most endearing qualities.
  20. Honorable Discharge? Use your GI Bill and go to school. You'll get BAH once you convert it to post-9/11. Then work on top of it and you're good and getting educated.
  21. I agree with you in principal. Only shoot if there is no other option and when you do, shoot to kill. However, there was no way to consider this self defense. And "dead men tell no tales" doesn't matter when the shooting takes place on a major thoroughfare in the middle of Sunday afternoon traffic. Witnesses galore.
