    Just Venting - Are People Stupid?

    Yes,in this world we do have all types.The ignorant,the uneducated,the mentally handicapped,the addicted,the intoxicated,the crazy and the evil.I suspect,that in earlier times many would'nt have survived childhood. We just have to deal with the fact that many of our fellow citizens could'nt find...

    Flashlight for Defense?

    I would recommend that you purchase a Surefire 12ZM or 12PM off ebay or maybe Logger(?)Tactical.Probably cost a couple hundred dollars.Lightweight,500 lumens,collectable and very cool.It delivers a searing blast of concentrated light that will deter any living creature.Try it,you will like it.

    should immigrant rights be the same as citizens?

    Re: The end justifies the means, NOT! I've a few minutes so I'll try to give my thoughts on the subject.Ethics and morality are worthy of study,thought and debate.The thesis: End justifies the means is simplistic because it's not in context.Certain objectives may be noble or not. People...

    How rare is a Surefire 12ZM?

    Re: Surefire 12ZM? Shortly after I got my 12ZM I was taking a new Daewoo sedan from Quito to Esmeraldas Ecuador.The road was wet,dark and curvey.Driving off the road would have been ...inadvisable.I told my driver to cut the lights and leave them off.An absolute wall of darkness decended.I...

    How rare is a Surefire 12ZM?

    I hope someone knows how many were made before being discontinued.I bought mine in 1999 and have never regretted it.Awesome output in a small package.The SRTH and N62 only add to the experience.It's the only flashlight I consider "a weapon" in it's own right.

    Targeted by Laser

    Lasers on guns should'nt be banned.The major disadvantage to the user is that you are revealing your location.I believe LEOs use infrared(not visible). Lasers do look cool in the movies, but it's not cutting edge technology.Menacing,targeting,aiming weapons at people is already very...

    Targeted by Laser

    Using lasers to "light up" individuals is bad.I don't know,or care whether it is legal.It makes me nervous.It indicates that I am being aimed at.This will make me respond to the perceived threat. It's not that I'm all that concerned about guns or lasers.Just don't point them at me,or my...

Security wanted to look inside the battery compartment for explosives...

    Surefire: expensive?

    I'm just glad surefires are still available.They may change the way the product is distributed,or price them outrageously but....it's a great product line with a lifetime guarantee. "A poor man can't afford to have cheap tools."

    If marijuana was legalized, would -

    Even if pot was legalized,it would still be regulated and taxed.Then,the states would get "hooked" on these funds as with the cigarette taxes.This would be a good thing.The money could then be funnelled back into the most marginalized communities. "War on drugs" is really just war on the...

    Lithium 123's now on DEA watchlist!

    Re: Lithium 123\'s now on DEA watchlist! CPF is great!A group of very smart people,engaging in rational discourse about the(sometimes)irrational world we live in. America is about life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.The Bill of Rights makes it possible. I especially enjoyed BB's post...
