  1. Garbage belief.
  2. Let's hope Russia doesn't go into Ukraine...we will do nothing, which will result in China going into Taiwan while we do....nothing...
  3. Wheel of Time Season 1. Overall it is pretty good, though I think anyone who has not read the books is going to get lost.
  4. No, I've heard this every state I've lived in.
  5. I think we have zero understanding of what sorts of interactions occur between kingdoms. We have a clear understanding of temple covenants, which include being sealed to family. You may find yourself in the Celestial Kingdom, with family members in other kingdoms. That does not annul your sealing.
  6. You're right. I've always thought that Christmas should be fun gifting instead of needed gifting. Unfortunately, there are those who are in life circumstances that dictate otherwise.
  7. Oh awesome. The Glock Gen 4 trigger issue will be fixed too.
  8. Do guns count? Uhhh....yea...me too.
  9. That is sad and frankly someone milking the system. I'd give them a gift card to Wal Mart for the amount that was allotted to their family.
  10. Or, here's $20 towards whatever you would like to purchase. No curmudgeon at all.
  11. Or you could just do a Wal Mart gift card for $20 (or whatever amount) and they can spend it however they want.
  12. What sorts of expensive things? A bed? A Playstion? A cell phone? A vaccum cleaner?

  14. The media outlets keep saying an SUV drove through the crowd.
  15. Interesting. I do not personally know any Dems who are anything but anti gun.
  16. Anthony Fauci said/did: What a hero!
  17. Spoiler alert: there’s always going to be another variant.
  18. Oh boy, the nightmare scenario. Active shooting with multiple potential suspects. Worse if still in progress. First and foremost, I AM NOT GIVING YOU LEGAL ADVICE, if you are looking for that ask @Just_A_Guy. Second, there are about a million factors that could play into the scenario, so I'm going to kind of broad brush the answer. If you find yourself in a position where you have used a firearm in self defense. Please, please, please do not have it in hand when the police arrive. The possibility of being shot is high if you do. It is even higher if you turn towards or point it at the police. Comply with the commands you are given, whether you like them or understand them. The police do not have time to explain things to you when they first arrive. You can ask for and most likely get explanations later. Deal with it. It will take a while, but we are pretty good at sorting things out, but initially we are going to take complete control of the scene, lock everyone and everything down. Deal with it. Responding to the scene of a violent crime, whether still active, or now "just a crime scene" is chaotic. We will get it calmed down eventually, but it takes time. Will you be charged? Not necessarily. I have been to self defense shootings numerous times over the years and no charges were filed. Will you be investigated/questioned. Well duh. Answer honestly. Co-operate, it makes everyone's life easier. Yes, the initial officers that Kyle encountered sent him past them. They were responding to an active shooter call and were moving to that location. There were lots of people armed in that city, so seeing one more was not out of the ordinary.
  19. Fantastic training, especially for the inexperienced.
  20. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
  21. If you are going to take action, you had better understand what you can and cannot do legally.
  22. Something that people often misunderstand is the definitions of words. In the legal world those words often have a different meaning than Webster's dictionary. There is a reason juries are instructed not to use the dictionary. In making a decision in court, you must use the legal definition of a word in a crime based on State Code.
  23. I'm glad you cannot see the bad around you. It means we are still effective at what we do. You're welcome.
