  1. THe MA gun laws restrict permits for:

     

    has, in any state or federal jurisdiction, been convicted or adjudicated a youthful offender or delinquent child for the commission of (a) a felony; (B) a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for more than two years; © a violent crime as defined in section 121; (d) a violation of any law regulating the use, possession, ownership, transfer, purchase, sale, lease, rental, receipt or transportation of weapons or ammunition for which a term of imprisonment may be imposed; or (e) a violation of any law regulating the use, possession or sale of controlled substances as defined in section 1 of chapter 94C...

     

    So he can not get a permit currently, if I read that correct.

    Hummm. Well looking at the mas. Police qualification standards I guess you do need to obtain a firearm permit. I still do not know how he got into the military. I thought a felony was a disqualifier for that also.

  2. If the juvenile record was not a barrier to him entering military service, it will not be one in his pursuit of being a police officer. You do not need a security job or a concealed carry permit to be a qualified police applicant.

     

     

     

    Another reason to THINK before you act. Even the most trivial transgression may haunt you for the rest of your life.

  3. BINGO.

     

    I went and read the actual study which is simply a survey of "amenable deaths" in various countries.

     

    They counted the number of so called "preventable" deaths

    and then made a giant leap that those numbers amounted to an accurate measure of our health care system.

     

    Not exactly a scientific measure of the quality of US healthcare.

     

    This is commonly called "jumping to conclusions".

    Commonly perpetrated by "special interest groups". :rolleyes:

  4. You have got to be kidding… this special interest group that uses Denmark an a benchmark.

    (all excerpts taken from commonwelthfund.org)

    Excerpt.

    Adults in the Netherlands were much less likely to have trouble seeing their doctors during off hours. The Netherlands and Denmark both have excellent "off hours" systems of care, with nurses or physicians staffing phone banks to provide assistance. In Denmark, the phone bank is staffed by physicians that field health calls from 4 p.m to 8 a.m. The doctors listen to patients, access patient's records on the Danish health information system, and write prescriptions delivered electronically to pharmacies. These doctors then e-mail patients' usual doctors about the transaction.

     

     

    "Danish health information system"

    Do you really want all of your medical records archived by the federal government?

     

    Excerpt.

    "As of last January, all residents and taxpayers in the Netherlands have been required by law to purchase private health insurance. To make this possible, private health insurers must accept all residents in their coverage area—and charge everyone the same premiums for the same plans. About half of the premium is financed by taxation, and plans receive risk equalization funds to adjust for the health status of those they enroll. People with low incomes receive government subsidies to help pay premium costs. The government covers premiums for all children up to age 18."

     

    There is enough income redistribution in this country as it is. We sure as heck don’t need this. So it becomes my duty to pay for the healthcare of children they can’t afford in the first place????

     

    This is what they support.

    Excerpt

     

    1.Tax incentives for individual market insurance. Proposals that rely primarily on individuals' responsibility for obtaining coverage, with tax incentives to subsidize purchase of insurance in the individual insurance market.

     

    2.Mixed private–public group insurance with shared responsibility for financing. Proposals that build on our current mixed private–public system of health insurance with shared responsibility for financing coverage by government, employers, and households.

    3.Public insurance. Proposals that would cover nearly all Americans under public insurance programs, such as Medicare, with everyone covered through the same public system.

     

    Refrence #2. isn’t this the system we have in place at the moment? Employers and employees pay the premiums on the employee coverage. The government (taxpayer) pays for public (free) clinics, Medicaid?

     

    Reference #3. Government run and taxpayer funded. I don’t think so.

     

     

    Here is my solution.

     

    (1) STOP the frivolous lawsuits that cause doctors to pay astronomical malpractice insurance premiums.

    (2) STOP the abuse of the government run healthcare system by doctors overcharging Medicare/Medicaid. Ie; 8.50 per 200Mg dose of acetaminophen. And for services never rendered.

    (3) If you do not like the quality of care provided by the free clinics and or Medicaid, get a job that provides benefits such as health insurance, where you can choose your provider. What??? No skills, No education? Who made this bed? Not me, so why should I have money taken from me and redistributed to someone else because of their decisions. I could be wrong but I think McDonalds offers health benefits.

     

    We need LESS government in our healthcare not more.

     

     

    ALSO let me say this. I understand things come up beyond ones control from time to time. I am not opposed to a system that provides limited assistance to someone or a family in need due to circumstances beyond their control. But this third generation of government handout recipients, I think not.

  5. Its rockin and rollin outside, any severe stuff? Anyone know?

    Nothing severe predicted. I’m not seeing anything on nexrad that would indicate it will. Here is the zone forcast.

  6. Well, we finally went tonight and it was so good.

    Great service, and lots of lil'freebies. We got 2 free appetizers (crab sticks & Edamame)! And they gave the kids free ice cream. Talk about sweet people!

     

    My question is what do you get when you visit Fuji?

    So you weren’t kidding when you said weird al’s “rice rice baby” made you want fie lice. Bump and I ate lunch there today.

  7. Episode 50: Bullets Fired Up,

    Bullets fired up into the air can be lethal: busted, plausible, and confirmed.

     

     

     

    The "all of the above" ruling on the bullets fired into the air myth was a new one for MythBusters. All of their tests showed that if you fire a bullet perfectly straight up into the air, it will not kill you as it will fall down on its side and have too low of a terminal velocity to kill, much like the Penny Drop myth. However, it is very difficult to fire perfectly straight into the air and they even found an international expert in falling bullets who was able to confirm for them that people have died from bullets fired up into the air.

     

    Bullets Fired Up

    Myth: A bullet fired up can come down and kill you

     

    How high would a bullet fly up?

    Adam's idea was to correlate the density of ballistics gel with the density of air (Jamie: "Huh."). Adam figured that if they could see how far a bullet traveled in ballistics gel, they could use the difference in density to calculate the distance it would travel through air. Adam calculated that the ballistics gel is 650x more dense than air, so, according to his theory, if a bullet fired into ballistics gel goes 1ft, it would go 650 ft through air. At least that was the theory: they would have to go to the firing range with some blocks of ballistics gel to see if it would work.

     

    They lined up several blocks of ballistics gel end-on-end at the South San Francisco Police Department firing range (last seen in the Catching a Bullet with Your Teeth myth). They quickly ran into a problem. The 9mm round went through three blocks of ballistics gel for a total distance of about 5ft. The much more powerful .03-06 only went one block in. This wasn't so surprising given the results of the Bulletproof Water myth, though they didn't seem to anticipate the same happening with ballistics gel. The .30-06 rounds travel much faster, so they a greater tendency to break up on impact. Jamie managed to flip a block of ballistics gel with a final shot, finally putting an end to this particular avenue of testing: the ballistics gel was not going to help them figure out how far a bullet would fly up.

     

    Based on the failure of the ballistics gel experiment, they used a computer simulation program to calculate how high the bullets would travel up into the air. The calculations: *.03-6 10,000 ft 58 seconds * 9mm 4,000 ft, 37 seconds

     

    Terminal velocity of a falling bullet

    Adam built an acrylic wind tunnel (much like the one in the Penny Drop myth). Air was shot up through the bottom and a bullet was dropped into the chamber. The terminal velocity was calculated based on the speed of the air needed to make the bullet stop falling. They figured that the terminal velocity was 100mph (150 ft/s). The wind tunnel also showed that the most stable falling position for the bullets was on their side.

     

    Firing bullets at terminal velocity

    The rigged up an air hose to an aluminum pipe to launch the bullets at terminal velocity (150 ft/s). Their first shot put a good dent in the metal door. Their next target would be a pig's head, just as soon as they got the amount of air pressure tuned correctly. A chronograph was used to measure the speed of the bullet and a solenoid valve was attached to the tube to control the air flow.

     

    They fired bullets from the pipe into the pig's head and recorded it all on the high-speed camera. At 166 ft/s, the 9mm bullet bounced right off of the pig's head. The .30-06 bullet did only slightly better, piercing the skin and then bouncing off.

     

    It was looking like this was going to be busted, but, as it turns out, there is an international expert on falling bullets working in nearby Stanford. The expert, Dr. David G Mohler, told them about a case in Menlo Park where a woman sitting in a lawn chair was struck in the leg by a bullet that was fired into the air 1 1/2 miles away during a 4th of July celebration. Mohler recovered the bullet from her leg and the police were able to match the ballistics to a shooter.

     

    Mohler also told them about a case of an elderly man in Alameda who was talking to his wife underneath a plastic corrugated roof in his carport. His eyes rolled up and his wife thought he was having a stroke. When they got to the hospital they found out there was a bullet in his brain and, unfortunately, he died.

     

    "I know for a fact that bullets fired at a distance, returning to Earth, with terminal velocity, have the ability to kill people." - Dr. Mohler

     

    This contradicted their findings so far, so it was back to the drawing board.

     

    Mojave Desert testing

    They figured out what was different from their original assumptions: the bullets in Dr. Mohler's cases weren't fired straight up into the air. They were fired at an angle, which meant that they remained spin-stabilized and on a ballistics trajectory.

     

    It was time for them to figure out what would happen with real bullets fired into the air. They went out to the Mojave Desert, where they setup a rig to fire straight up into the air. They planned to fire a bunch of bullets into the air and hopefully find at least one of the bullets where it landed. To maximize their odds, they stationed their crew in bulletproof listening posts.

     

    They first fired bullets straight into the ground as a control: * BB: 3" * 9mm: 6" * .30-06/M1 Garand: 12"

     

    Jamie fired a clip of 9mm bullets up into the air. 39 seconds later they heard the bullets hit the ground.

     

    Adam: "I'm searching across the desert for a pencil-sized hole"

     

    The first bullet that Adam found went only 2" into the ground and appeared to have hit the ground on it's side. The bullet had traveled 330ft horizontally. Jamie found another bullet hole almost identical to the first.

     

    Jamie then fired the .30-06 rounds. Big problem: after 40 rounds fired into the air, they weren't able to hear any bullets land. The .30-06 rounds travel over twice as high, so they were simply traveling too far for them to find.

     

    Adam brought out plan B: a balloon attached to an instrumented platform that could drop bullets remotely. The platform had a wireless video camera that fed an image of the platform, including the altitude gauge, down to Adam.

     

    The bullets were dropped in a bundle from a height of 400 ft. The .03-06 made a 2" hole. The 9mm made a 2" hole as well, matching up perfectly with the actual 9mm bullet firing.

     

    For the first time ever, they deemed this one busted, plausible, and confirmed. All of their tests, from the pig's head to the 9mm firing to the balloon, showed that a bullet fired perfectly straight up into the air is not lethal. However, it is also very difficult to shoot perfectly straight up into the air and, with the cases cited by Dr. Mohler, they have confirmed that people have died from bullets falling from the sky.

     

     

  8. I certainly wouldn't expect a man to give up his seat for me. IMO, whoever is there first gets the seat. If someone gets up and leaves an open seat, then I would sit down.

    That is the point. It’s not about “expect” it is about “respect”

  9. And to think a sheriff had stopped him before this incident, and they have video of it from the in-car recorder.....so sad .... I agree , a bullet to the head....quick AND painless...

    Are you kidding? We can’t prosecute much less exterminate that SOS Brian Nichols because there in not enough money to “properly defend” him. So this is going to be another “dead man” bleeding our system.

  10. Well your not that far away. Try moving to Kansas when you lived in Ga. all your life. You can still go there to be with friends, and it will only take a little over an hour. You will get used to Paulding County it grows on you fast. Plus you have Marietta, Acworth, Kennasaw, and Atlanta close there is always something going on somewhere. I only lasted in Kansas 1yr.

    HA. I got ya beat. I lasted 4 years, 00-04. And that was SOUTHWEST Kansas. :p

    (h)(1) Any party holding a worthless instrument and giving notice in substantially similar form to that provided in subparagraph (a)(2)(B) of this Code section shall be immune from civil liability for the giving of such notice and for proceeding as required under the forms of such notice; provided, however, that, if any person shall be arrested or prosecuted for violation of this Code section and payment of any instrument shall have been refused because the maker or drawer had no account with the bank or other depository on which such instrument was drawn, the one causing the arrest or prosecution shall be deemed to have acted with reasonable or probable cause even though he, she, or it has not mailed the written notice or waited for the ten-day period to elapse. In any civil action for damages which may be brought by the person who made, drew, uttered, executed, or delivered such instrument, no evidence of statements or representations as to the status of the instrument involved or of any collateral agreement with reference to the instrument shall be admissible unless such statements, representations, or collateral agreement shall be written simultaneously with or upon the instrument at the time it is delivered by the maker thereof.

     

    (2) Except as otherwise provided by law, any party who holds a worthless instrument, who complies with the requirements of subsection (a) of this Code section, and who causes a criminal warrant or citation to be issued shall not forfeit his or her right to continue or pursue civil remedies authorized by law for the collection of the worthless instrument; provided, however, that if interest is awarded and collected on any amount ordered by the court as restitution in the criminal case, interest shall not be collectable in any civil action on the same amount. It shall be deemed conclusive evidence that any action is brought upon probable cause and without malice where such party holding a worthless instrument has complied with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Code section regardless of whether the criminal charges are dismissed by a court due to payment in full of the face value of the instrument and applicable service charges subsequent to the date that affidavit for the warrant or citation is made. In any civil action for damages which may be brought by the person who made, drew, uttered, executed, or delivered such instrument, no evidence of statements or representations as to the status of the instrument involved or of any collateral agreement with reference to the instrument shall be admissible unless such statements, representations, or collateral agreement shall be written simultaneously with or upon the instrument at the time it is delivered by the maker thereof.

     

    (i) Notwithstanding paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Code section or any other law on usury, charges, or fees on loans or credit extensions, any lender of money or extender of other credit who receives an instrument drawn on a bank or other depository institution given by any person in full or partial repayment of a loan, installment payment, or other extension of credit may, if such instrument is not paid or is dishonored by such institution, charge and collect from the borrower or person to whom the credit was extended a bad instrument charge. This charge shall not be deemed interest or a finance or other charge made as an incident to or as a condition to the granting of the loan or other extension of credit and shall not be included in determining the limit on charges which may be made in connection with the loan or extension of credit or any other law of this state.

     

    (j) For purposes of this Code section, no service charge or bad instrument charge shall exceed $30.00 or 5 percent of the face amount of the instrument, whichever is greater, except that the holder of the instrument may also charge the maker an additional fee in an amount equal to that charged to the holder by the bank or financial institution as a result of the instrument not being honored.

     

    (k) An action under this Code section may be prosecuted by the party initially receiving a worthless instrument or by any subsequent holder in due course of any such worthless instrument.

     

  14. OK first, let me say I am from the south and I DO pull to the side for a funeral passing in the opposite direction. But, from a law enforcement point of view. There is NO duty “legally” of opposing traffic to stop, slow down or pull to the side. If I do this and I cause an accident in doing so, the fault will most likely lay with me. This would likely fall under 40-6-184.

     

     

    § 40-6-184. Impeding traffic flow; minimum speed in left-hand lanes

     

     

    (a)(1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation.

     

    (2) On roads, streets, or highways with two or more lanes allowing for movement in the same direction, no person shall continue to operate a motor vehicle in the most left-hand lane at less than the maximum lawful speed limit once such person knows or should reasonably know that he is being overtaken in such lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed, except when such motor vehicle is preparing for a left turn.

     

     

    Also there is no prohibition on passing a funeral procession on the left if there are more than one travel lane in the same direction. “It would, in my opinion be very disrespectful”.

     

     

    NOW don’t think that 40-6-184 will get you off the hook in all cases. If a funeral is passing in the opposite direction and it is obvious that traffic in your lane ahead is stopped or slowed then you have another statute. You have a duty to adjust your speed accordingly to traffic conditions.

     

    § 40-6-180. Basic rules

     

     

    No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard for the actual and potential hazards then existing. Consistently with the foregoing, every person shall drive at a reasonable and prudent speed when approaching and crossing an intersection or railroad grade crossing, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching and traversing a hill crest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway, and when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or highway conditions.

     

  15. You're kidding.....so why do so many people get in trouble with the IRS for not paying their taxes??? Wouldn't the law that pertained to him, pertain to all ???

    It is just a testament to the grip the government has on the populous in my opinion.

    It was a lot more complicated than that one paragraph. Google the name and follow some of the links..

  16. hmmmmmmm.....so what if the people of the US refuse to pay taxes based on these Amendments???

    Tom Cryer has practiced virtually every aspect of the law, both criminal and civil, with clientele consisting of numerous individuals, families and businesses. For years, Tom refused to file tax returns or pay income tax unless the government could show lawful authority to do either one. In 2006, Tom was indicted by the federal government, went to court and was acquitted by 12 jurors in Shreveport, Louisiana. They found that there is no law that makes the average American citizen liable for the income tax.
