OT: Cleveeland cop dies on the line

Gee, let me guess...Ok, I give, tell us who DID score better?

I think you need to go back to the rubber room and your straight jacket, birdbrain. It's way too late for them to cure you.

Why, the other guy with the 6" Colt and me, of course. The extra two inches helped (I've heard that before) at 60 yards. Didn't have to aim for the top of the head to drop a shot in center mass, only at the aam's apple.

Gae thee to the gunshop and try a SIG P226 in 9mmp. You may find that it fits your hand better than the XD.

You can afford one, I know you can as an evil captain of industry.

I don't own one, but a friend does. It is a very easy pistol to shoot well. He says that most find it so, including beginners. I know you're no beginner and far from it, I merely mention it as one I and most others have found amazingly easy to shoot well. Recoil is about a non-issue with that pistol in 9mmp.

A big factor in my selection of the XD was because it did and does fit my hand like it grew there -- but my boots may not fit you and conversely. I chose .40 S&W, you chose 9mmp. Both are best choices if they fit the user. Pick yer pony, take yer ride.

Indeed. Its only in decline because the oil is drying up.

Flat, no...mountains to the west, starting a block from my house. Hot, dry and in the middle of nowhere. You say that like its a bad thing?

Its also in the middle of one of California's bread baskets.

F*ck no! I have to work in LA basin. It doesn't mean its superior to where I live.

Our "gang problem" consists of a few dimwits using permanent markers on garage doors.

Yours consists of the Bloods and Crypts, for a start.

Not me!

Having retired from my job in Houston, TX, I'm in total agreement with you.

Now that I don't have to go there except on that rare occasion when dealing with Doctors [Surgeons, mainly] or the Onan Distributor [I have an Onan genset in my RV] I do my best to avoid the place.

Most of ours have left town - headed to prisons.

Not long ago, a judge gave a would-be crack dealer 80 years for being caught with 80 rocks.

It's all the same. Whether you are criticizing Cleveland or Washington, whether it's the environment, the military, or the president, it can all be lumped in as criticizing the country. When I criticize the country or specifically a part of it, like the government I get labeled anti American. I was pointing out that I could do the same to your ragging on Cleveland because last time I checked it was still part of America. It's gotten to be real popular over that last few years to jump all over people and call them anti American when they find fault with this country. All I was doing was pointing out that this can be used against anyone, including you, any time you say anything derogatory about anyone or anything American.

Hey, while I do think Taft is an undesirable jerkwater town that doesn't mean that the area south of Bakersfield is any more desirable. I moved out of Orange county in 1992 and I've never been back. Most of southern California is now a polluted, overcrowded, snakepit. As to which is worse Taft or L.A., now that's a tough one to answer because they both suck.

Maybe, but being critical doesn't make one anti American.

Tom Gardner spoke about relocating his business and to this I say:

Tom: Check out South Dakota if you really want to move. No state income tax on the personal or business level, right to work state so there is little union interference and the Black Hills area sure looks better than Cleveland ever did!! A guy I ride motorcycle with moved there about 10 years ago from Minnesota and found A job in A prototype machine shop and he says he'll never come back to MN to work again.
