    Mass Shootings Maine

    I choose Glock 30 years ago and have had no reservations about doing so. I also have a S&W and a Sig, but my regular handgun is a Glock. Familiarity with that platform would be hard to overcome. It is second nature to me now while others are not. Even those which are quite similar and with which I am somewhat profiicient just don't seem the same due to familiarity. This reminds me. I meant to go to Cabelas today to pick up some replacement trijicon night sights. Maybe after the early games.

    RIP Matthew Perry

    He appeared along side of some of my all-time favorites, Courtney Cox, Rosanna Arquette, Amanda Peet, Salma Hayek. As for his comedy he was a one trick pony but that one trick earned him more financial success than I will ever know.

    Those intent on evil will find a way. I understand the desire to thwart them, to make matters more difficult for them, but as we humans are inventive creatures most obstacles are easily overcome.

    Close quarters so yes, in a school. We are just fortunate that most mass shooters are not well versed in the capablities of shotguns. Frankly, were there ever to be some sort of ban or restriction on maximum firepower to prevent mass shootings that ban should unquestionably include semiauto shotguns with magazine or drum feeds and should include speed loaders for shotguns. The conversation on AR 15's happens due to their prevalence, their appeal to a wide audience. They are what comes up, but they are not nearly as lethal as a combat style but civilian legal shotgun set up. I get it, why argue about what has not yet occured, but that is not to say that AR's are some be all or end all, they are not.

    Unquestionably, no.

    I think that. In fact I know that to be true in scenarios where folks are congregated in tight spaces. There are shotguns with high capacity magazines and or speed loaders and are semiautomatic. With each shell of say 00 buck holding 12 to 14 projectiles equivilent in size to the standard .223 projectile of most AR 15's, yes, their greater letality is unquestionable. The reason the military uses shotguns in only specific scenarios is that the ammunition is heavier and impracticle to carry in the field for most scenarios which do not include large congregations of people in confined areas, but the military does issue shotguns to some members for specific scenarios when they want to bring maximum firepower to a scenario.

    Loved the woman's ball back in the day. I could palm a regular ball, but barely. The woman's ball I could palm with ease and it made dunking with gusto possible for me.

    It is a relatively small caliber rifle. So small, in fact, that some states restrict it for deer hunting as it is not considered an effective deer round.

    I saw the first one. Seemed stupid but harmless. I was aware there were others but never felt compelled to see any of them. I had no idea there were so many. I find it difficult to fathom that someone could have revisited that premise that many times.

    With 400 million guns in circulation them becoming rare would take quite a bit of time. I have guns 70 years old which are still in excellent working condition.

    That may work, I suppose, but I would find it inconvenient to have to carry Sean Hannity around with me when I go out. I am also unclear on how I would safely store my Sean Hannity when not in use so that criminals could not get their hands on him and misuse him in their criminal enterprises. If I got my Sean Hannity I would want to customize it with a silencer.

    His major disadvantage is he has to sleep, and law enforcement works shifts right around the clock.

    Maybe he was tossed from his pool league and his bowling league and jsut snapped. Or maybe he wanted some slow, large, overweight targets. He did not target a pilates class, he targeted bowlers and pool players. It would be pretty tough to miss your average bowler.

    Imagine upstate Minnesota with all of those fish houses full of resources just waiting for the ice. The "shoping" in them would keep a fella going for quite some time. I saw a picture of this guy with a northern so he at least has fished some.

    New office employee rants about working 9 to 5

    The local stip club probably would only ask for a few shifts a week and then she could also get her aerobic exercise and meet guys. Alternatively she could become an independant contractor and could walk the streets on her own schedule with no boss whatsoever.

    Imagine if he preplaned an escape with prepositioned supplies. He is apparently somewhat trained so he might have considred an exit strategy. Maybe he is crazy but not stupid.

    I did find that unusual. So unusual in fact that I at first was contemplating a two shooter scenario as were many I believe.

    I don't know about Maine, but a guy, out in the woods with a rifle during hunting season in Wisconsin would not raise many red flags. If the weather remains mild and he is competent he does not have to come up for air. If the weather turns I suspect there are plenty of seasonal homes, currently unoccupied, from which he could get shelter and supplies. Pretty easy to hid out for a time in wooded, rural or wild America. I doubt he last much longer, but who knows. I am most familiar with wisconsin and could go to ground there indefinitely. I am nearly as familiar with Colorado and Wyoming and could evade capture for quite some in those locals. Hell, even in wooded areas I am not familiar with if they had varied topographjy and lakes and rivers I could do quite nicely. Hard winter could get a bit bleak, but otherwise I would fare fine and be tough to find.

    I am not necessarily comfortable with a private citizen having responsibility to enforce federal or stte laws. If there is immunity for the private citizen so long as they followed a well defined procedure in good faith and acted in reliance on the state determination I have no problem with it. If the state begins expanding this to questions of what the private seller might have known through further inquiry, then I have difficulty since the state itself does not require that of licensed dealers.
