I thought it was the show that was stereotyping - we have a young black guy so he needs to hold the gun like this, because that's how young black guys hold guns.

Shows how much I know about prison.

Temu gets me like that a lot
You shop at Temu.
Is it good stuff? The prices I've seen just says that it's got to be total crap. Tennis shoes for 50 cents. A leather jacket for a dollar and a quarter.

I was looking on Midway for a second - because somehow all my spares disappeared that I only have one - magazine for my Mark 1 bull barrel. $25 and change. But $10 shipping. $35?????
$100 gets you free shipping. So I bought four of them, so I did not have to pay shipping. Spent a hundred instead of 35.
I think we've all done that once or twice or 20 times.

but I can't remember where.
Just went and looked. He was in the second Tom Cruise / Jack Reacher movie. And in a Bones episode - and this is the one I was remembering - he was a soldier with PTSD.
He has a large filmography, but those four are the only things I've ever seen him in.

have you seen Hardison as Alex Cross?
Nope. Had to look it up. It's on Amazon prime so that's not going to happen.
There was a Castle episode which involved voodoo murders. Hardison was a African student with an expired Visa. And I'm sure I've seen him on something else but I can't remember where.

Simply have them raise their hands a little bit and you can easily access the keyhole without entangling your arms with theirs.
That makes all sorts of sense.

The obvious solution is to buy some more stuff. That will make the per item shipping lower.
CDNN has a flat rate of $9.99 (I believe it is), for shipping. You buy a $4 bore snake and it cost you $10 to ship it. You buy $500 worth of stuff and it cost you $10 to ship it.
I was looking at magazines the other day, and I ended up buying three for my PPK and four for my Beretta 92 and that made that $10 shipping a whole lot more palatable. A $20 magazine with a buck and a half shipping is a whole lot less painful than a $20 magazine with $10 shipping.

i think it was done to show he was the non-violent computer nerd
That's interesting. It did not occur to me that he was doing that because he was a computer nerd and didn't know anything about guns. I thought it was because he was a young black guy and (according to Hollywood at least) that's the way young black guys shoot.

I shot this group with a 1970 S&W Model 15 (Combat Masterpiece) with .38 Special wadcutters at 10 yards.
Then I quit. After only 15 minutes of shooting.
It wouldn't get better.
Sometimes, you gotta know when to quit.
Absolutely. Quit while you're ahead.

TV show. Fake. Hollywood. Got it.
The criminal has his hands cuffed behind his back. He has a piece of wire in his hand which he is raising up and inserting it in the keyhole of the cuff. Obviously he is going to pick the lock. Now whether he can pick the lock or not is irrelevant.
If the cuffs are put on so that the keyhole faces the suspects hands, that gives him the opportunity to maybe do something.
Are police trained to put the cuffs on with the keyhole going up the arm - away from the hands. Opposite sides of the cuff from the hands?
That actually, now that I'm writing it, sounds kind of like belt and suspenders. But still - maybe it would be helpful.
So do they train you to do that or do they just train you to get them around his wrist?

I'm guessing this one's expensive. Because adding to whatever it cost to get it will be the three times as much to have it removed.

I got one when I was about ten years old for free in a college guy's experiment

That sounds like where the college guy got his idea. 40 got his blood type put in his left armpit. So did the SS.

Here that would be decaf coffee. But since y'all seem to live on booze - light beer?

Have a Captain Cook
Since the late Captain was a fella that traveled off to various lands, is that a suggestion for someone to be elsewhere?

There was a TV show some years back called Leverage. Two white guys, two white girls, and one skinny black guy/computer hacker. Hardison.
In one episode he and the muscle (Elliot) gets set upon by a street gang. Elliot pounds them into the dirt, and Hardison picks up a gun from the ground. He is going to help Elliot.
He is not only holding the gun sideways but he has it above his head. Looks like he's trying to stuff a basketball, except that it's a Glock.
For some reason this scene popped into my mind, and I wondered if the actor actually knew anything about guns. Which made me think that he was holding it like that because the director told him to do that.
Then I visualized Clint Eastwood shooting like that because the director told him to.

These parole violators - once they were back in prison, they were allowed visitors, weren't they?
Seems to me that if the raped or the molested or the violently attacked wished to have contact with the raper or the molester or the attacker, they could just go to the prison on visitors day.
Would not have anything to do with the parole board.
