Ah, yes. The sound of “racking a round.” Guaranteed to clear a room without even pulling the trigger (uh, of intruders, that is). How many rounds does the 870 hold and what kind of rounds do you guys use? 18” barrel?

Dirt's right about that.

You win some, you lose some. It's why I got into teaching. I'll get the kids that space out in class, and I'll get the other ones that take a little of the wisdom I try to get them to grow and make use of it. I've had kids tell me I'm the best teacher they've ever had and go on to get involved in stuff I've educated them about, and I've had kids turn in papers they wrote an hour before that insulted my intelligence.

Same thing, less dangerous.

I thank law enforcement for contolling crime and arresting drunk drivers. I have no respect for their role as traffic cops. In my mind it is just another method of taxation. And it causes me to lose respect for those people who are doing the ticketing. Maybe if the traffic laws were upgraded to take into account that we are no longer driving 1930's era vehicles it might make more sense. And until they ban driving while on the phone I will not take seriously any talk of trying to save lives. They are padding the coffers and that is it!

You guys shoot slugs at engines to stop cars? Or is that just a myth? I like to shoot them through car frames – makes a nice big hole.

Well I appreciate your efforts out there Jody. I have gotten tickets before, although it has been about 15 years or so since I got one. I deserved that one. :)

Thanks for being there to chase the bad people, and I know they are out there. Thanks for being out there to help with the human wrecks that happen.

I think some people disrespect you guys because they are mad/embarassed about being caught doing something stupid. A lot of my relatives have worked in Law Enforcement over the years, including my grandfather, they are/were good people. I really can't disrespect folks out there trying to do a tough job. I have met a couple of people in Law Enforcement who were somewhat prone to being not so nice, but they are easy to avoid.

Can't say I agree with your politics, but who knows, maybe we can get you to change your thinking!

Jody, in reality all I would hope for is to ticket people who can't drive and talk at the same time. Too bad the problem is too big to address by the available force.

Until LEO's start ticketing bad driving and not just fast driving I will have no respect for them as traffic cops and the normal traffic enforcement tactics suck. All the other stuff you guys do gets my heartfelt thanks though so don't think I hate LEO's. I just hate how they deal with motor vehicle drivers. Really I guess I hate the laws that are being enforce too. But then I hate most of the laws that are designed to "keep us safe from ourselves".

And, I never implied that CHP got the funds, but that the state gets the funds and uses you guys to generate revenue.

I'd never want to be a LEO, what a thankless job, so I am glad there are some people crazy enough (okay, just kidding, I mean, let's hope you are not crazy) to do such a job.

But I am adamant about cell/mobile phones not being used, at least unless a handless unit is being used. I suppose in some ways it is no more distracting that drinking a cup of coffee or soda pop while driving, except that you are carrying on a two-way conversation, oftentimes of some import, so don't tell me that doesn't take your concentration away from driving.

I was a cop at one time. I guess things were different then. I became a bit disillusioned while watching the Columbine massacre unfold on TV. I didn't see anyone stroll through the door and at least try to put a stop to the killing. The thin blue line hunkered down behind the wall and waited for massive reinforcements so they could investigate..after the fact.

Jody-Fair and balanced?
I'm not even gonna touch that one. Rupert Murdoch's going to hell for sure.

Anyhow, the scattergun you want is a Bennelli M-5 or Super 90. The super 90 is Semi Auto, but you chamber the first round via pumping the forearm. So you have that unmistakeable sound, and then you're ready to roll, and you never had to take your hands off the controls to chamber that first round as in the case of any other semi-auto...
The M-5 has a selector switch, for those special situations when you need to put 5 rounds in the air by the time the first spent shell casing hits the ground.
As for the .40, I'll take a 230 grain speer or sierra hollwpoint doing about 1000 fps (via a detonics mag kit and handloads) approaching a half inch in diameter any day, but we've all got our druthers...
As for the sp 101-slick, isn't it? Shaved hammer and all? Ruger would have to be, by far, my favorite maker. THe Model 77 varmint for long range accuracy, the red label over under for upland game, the gov't model for plinking and everything else, the 10/22, the mini-14, the blackhawk, the red hawk, the bearcat. ..the list is long.
I dig the Taurus titanium 5 round 357 for abackup piece, or just an Officer's model, actually, but it's ard to put an Officer's model on your ankle. Smal of back's ok..

Jaysus Jody, "Fox News, fair and balanced." You have to be joking right? I mean, you have to be. I know that you are conservative and religious (and a heck of a photographer), but you can't really believe that about Fox News. Lois (LEB) thinks that you are objective and blah blah and sometimes it appears so, but if you really think that Fox News is fair and balanced, then I have to have a huge, no gigantic, rethink about you.

Edit
Jody, I agree, Ouch isn't the best artist (sorry Ouch), but to call him a quitter is a bit much if you do not know the circumstances under which he quit. At least he admits that he gets emotional in his posts at times, which you claim to be objective and unemotional. Calling him a quitter without knowiong the circumstances as well as suggesting that "You probably quit in lieu of firing for psychosis" seems a bit emotional to me.

Jody, if you can't see Fox's bias by now, even if you agree with its agenda and points of view, then trying to explain it to you would be a waste of time, especially since Chelsea versus Liverpool in the Champion's League just kicked off (I'm off to the pub). Open your eyes man, especially to the other side's point of view and then maybe you'll be able to better argue against that pov. Know thy 'enemy' to better 'fight' them.

Edit
BTW, I have worked as a journo in the newsroom of a Fox-affiliated TV station, as well as being a journalist for over 33 years working on national newspapers in five countries, so I think I know a bit about the profession, the way it operates, objective and subjective reporting etc.

Murdoch only took out US citizenship so that he could start buying US media companies, especially in broadcast media. But I'd guest that you and others such as Fattrad think that is okay to take out American citizenship, for solely greedy and economic reasons. Does that make him an economic refugee?

(BTW, back home in the Bay Area when I was working on my masters at Cal State Hayward, in August of 1994 I turned down a real good job as a videojournalist with CNN with the promise "with your experience of working abroad as a journalist it will be sooner rather than later that you get a foreign assignment" so I could pursue my acting career, and then made a questionable decision in late 1995 to relocate in Ireland because at the time the Irish film industry was quite healthy. I am still working as a journo - staff on a business magazine and freelance/casual on the nationals - so does that tell you about the current state of the Irish film industry - or perhaps my acting ability?)

For what it's worth, I got off the phone with Jody a couple hours ago;
he called me on his way to work. Jody has been working to secure a deal
from a Hilti rep for HY-150 cartridges for the ASCA––those things are !@#$%^& expensive!
(A cartridge costs approx. $27.00 retail, and is enough for 10 to 12 holes)
Greg needs a bunch of them for upcoming re-bolting projects where glue-ins are
the best long-term solution.

After shooting the shIt for a while, as he pulled into the parking lot,
Jody wanted me to let Ouch! know that he was getting ready to start
his shift––his job that entails taking pictures to post on the Supertopo Forum.

We both laughed our asses off that Ouch! would have minimally armed patrol
officers rushing into a building not knowing who the suspects were, how
many of them there were, or what kind of weapons (or bombs) they had.
And Jody should know; he's a firearms instructor at work.

Now, let me tell you how it's done. A cop has to develop a certain personna. I did mine by winning shooting matches against guys using .22 rifles at 50 feet. I used my trusty old .38 Military and Police revolver. Soon word got around that
this dude was not to be taken lightly. It also helped to be 6' 5" and weigh 230.

It worked pretty well when backed up by a good knuckle sandwich, except for one night when a chickenhawk or chicken sh#t took a shot at me from the dark when I was rattling doors.
I just let it be known that I knew who did it and when a certain guy left town, I knew for sure.

It ain't all that hard. You just have to take the responsibility seriously.

I say that with hopes for your future sanity, however impossible such a course may seem to be at this point. I have no doubts you might be somewahat pleasant in person. But you really come off as creepy to an extreme.

Ouch!

Mountain Man, guys like you should be pitied. But you don't deserve it. You would destroy that which you claim to love, proving you haven't a clue.

No, in person, I'm not nice to as#@&%es.

Your %100 right Jody.
I mean, his insane political ramblings aside,
What's up with the cop bashing? and the Jr. High level donut jokes?
Way old.
That kind of hate/fear/paranoia will definitely take years off of your life,
and he's got precious few left anyways...
no wonder he's bitter and scared.

I think you all are acting like kids - name calling and such, maybe doing it once or twice is okay but jaysus, you all are going on, and on, and on...

Anyway Mountain Man, when will you ever learn that being anti-Bush is not being anti-American. If you are looking to insult somebody then you have succeeded in insulting me by saying us left-wingers (I am a liberal but left-wing?, oh yeah I guess not agreeing with your politics means that I am left-wing) hate America. Nothing could be further from the truth, certainly in my case. In fact, I'd put my family's heritage in winning independence and developing America up against yours anytime.

Get a clue. America was made great by both liberals and conservatives.

""""Is this kind of like when a conservative says, "Some of my best friends are minorities" and you liberals hound them for making it up? Riley, I thought better of you, but the above post showed me that I was wrong. """"

Nope, I don't say that about Conservatives. In fact when I found out that "what's her name blonde, right wing psycho woman" had all kinds of friends it made me think that maybe she is not insane after all.
It all goes to respect. And this political stuff is such a small part of everything when you look at what is really important. Getting along with folks being one of them.And sense of humor, and other shared interests being far more important in my books.

Localized flames eventually burn themselves out naturally.

Ouch! Has no power unless you give it to him.

You’ve given him the power by responding back.

Fight fire with fire? I think water and less oxygen is required to combat the flames.

But, oh, what can be done ……

It takes two to have an argument, it's actually pretty entertaining, so thanks Ouch! and Jody.

And come on Jody, lot's of Ouch's pictures are pretty weak, but the pig with the camera? You've got to admit that was pretty funny.

Where's that "die thread die" graphic when you need it.

Come on Jody, rent "outfoxed" it would make a substantial discussion thread to hear you defend Fox after seeing it (and I"m sure you would) but at least it we'd have 40 posts of dialog before some lefty or rightie degenerated the thread into the muck of New Orleans Toxic Sludge (caused by both the lefty locals and rightie whitie fema)

Happy cop story -

I left dog training early yesterday because it suddenly occurred to me that the $300 dry cleaning I'd picked up last week and had gone missing was likely at the car laundromat. I freaked out and hoped to get there ASAP (even though it was nearly a week that I'dleft it there) so I was driving down the stretch of highway Jody keeps warning me about stressing it.

There's a section where it goes from 55 to 35 and it's alittle early for my logical taste, but I know cops hang out there and I am good, but this time I am stressing and I see the cop and toss my head back "Oh no!"

As I go through the stop sign, I get the lights. I pull over in a dirt lot, go to look for my registration and insurance and OH NO!! I also left my CD case at the landromat with the other stuff, and that's where I keep it.

Bad to worse!

The cop comes up looking happy and says something nice like, "You're already worked up!" And I go, "Look, all I can give you is my license. you will not believe the bad string of luck I've had."

He asks me where I was working and I told him dog training and he looks in the back and sees leashes and collars and obviously I'm not lying.

"So you're going back to the place to get your dry cleaning and registration?"

"Yeah, I am. It's ridiculous."

"You're not lying."

"How could I? It's too stupid."

"Okay, behave, you know I'm there."

"Yeah, I do. You'll never stop me again, i promise."

Very cool of him. Very cool. BTW, nothing in lost and found, so it was/is still a crappy situation, but the cop incident made me happy.

Happy happy, people!

I second Karl's suggestion of renting OutFoxed. Or, you could show up next Thurs night from 6-8 and watch it with my class. I show it to all my classes for discussion purposes. I love teaching a class on ethics.
