No one mentioned "gun" friendly laws. That will eliminate Washington, Oregon, maybe Colorado.

For my Ipone, I use WAZE. Free app. Not only great directions, it will find the fastest route, show traffic jams, and where the cops are! If you're in a hurry it also adjusts time to destination.

Back in the 80's I was doing a lot of projects at March AFB in Riverside, CA. At the time it was a SAC base. Watched many buffs take off and land. Quite a sight.
While I was working there someone decided that March was too close to the reach of a submarine NUC so they shut down SAC and moved them inland. At the time we were scratching our heads as to why after 15 years someone figured that out.

Based on what rule?
Didn't say it was a rule. I answered the question. This is what we do. If someone is a 25 second shooter and they shoot 16 something went wrong somewhere. Either they didn't shoot all the rounds, or the timer/timer operator screwed up. Logic.

They have hired exterminators for the out of control Iguana population. They use air rifles.

Check the shot count on the timer. If it doesn't match the number of shots needed for the stage,,,,,shooter is required to re-shoot it.
At an annual match we had a really fast shooter shot and insane fast time. People on the posse got up in arms. 'No one shoots that fast'. A number of really fast shooters were on his posse. Shot count was right. Match director and Posse leader and shooter agreed to go back to the stage. Re-shoot it. lf the shooter is within a 1/2 second of the original time, the time will stand. They went back and he shot a slightly faster time. The first time was recorded and everyone was in aw........

A big difference in the "artistry" and tradition between the 2 bows. The English bow has knots and imperfect wood, but it could still be shaped. To me the difference in power was the Japanese bow used the bow to create force. While the English bow depends on the length of the pull and the bow. It just seemd it tok way more effort ot pull the English bow.

I agree. A wonderful episode. Filled with a lot of emotions. When I retired I felt the same way. After 45 years, what have I done to make a difference?

We have the Stewart Indian School in Carson City! It's been abandoned and now several buildings are being converted to some City uses. There is a museum. I did some design work there to create some offices. The work was going to be done by Inmates from the prison. The place has a weird vibe to it.
And yes the truth is the religious schools beat the righteousness into the kids. All the schools role was to educate, reading and writing English, and also to make them abandon their language, religion, and "instill" the white culture into them.
Not good places for kids at all.

I also have never used a baffle. I mount the BP container directly to the loading bar.

When we moved to Nevada I found it bit unnerving out on the highways getting passed by trucks pulling 3 trailers doing 80MPH.

For me the issue always was it doesn't account for recoil and target acquisition.

any problems after adjusting the internal passive safety (thingy)?
The Smith changed out the internals to match the originals. No adjustment of the existing parts.

I have a pair I shoot off and on. As a dualist the trigger block thingy was a PITA. I had the guy that did, change the internals to allow the trigger to be touched and hammer pulled. If you shoot two handed I don't know if you can slip hammer them.

There is also the potential to use EMP's as the means to destroy/kill people but leave the area livable. As in buildings etc would be intact. The idea is the loss of food and water, power etc the citizens would soon turn on each other. The enemy can move in and take over.
When I was a kid in Southern California, 50's and 60's, we would do the duck and cover drills. As an adult I realized it was a waste of time.
There was Long Beach harbor/Naval station, El Toro Marine base, McDonald Douglas, Northrup, Norton AFB, March AFB, refineries, you get the point.
A friend later said all you could do was go in the garage, get a can of spray paint, paint an X on your chest and lay down in the driveway.

There's a similar story on YouTube about an aggressive cop who led the department in DUI arrests.
It caught up with him when.
He pulled a car over and said the driver was weaving. Says I smell alcohol get out of the car. Its a kid about 21 or so. Kid denies it but. He takes the field sobriety tests and passes with flying colors. He keeps telling the cop he's on the football team and if he gets caught drinking or doing drugs he's off and loose his scholarship.
Doesn't matter.
Cop gives him the breathalyzer test. He blows 0.0 Cop then says he's on drugs and arrests him. Takes him in. They do a blood draw. Kid is in jail for a day then gets out on bond.
In the meantime the blood test comes back and the kid has nothing in his system.
Goes before the judge, case dismissed. Judge isn't happy with the cop.
The City, the police force and the cop get sued. The case showed a consistent pattern of arrest with no actual DUI. Costs them a ton of money and the cop was fired. Chief also got some sort of reprimand for letting this go on.

Who told you to shut up? I didn’t see anyone tell you that!
After expressing an opposing opinion a poster came back telling me I was wrong and used the acronym ST*U. I watched the 2 videos and there was hardly any "offensive" language in them. I think our skin is getting too thin.
