I believe place of business is, if you own it, though I'm not sure, it's been years since I've lived in MA and had to deal with their laws.

As far as I know, that system is dead. The Landwarrior system has moved beyond that design and has elected to retain the M-4 if I'm not mistaken. I know the XM-8 was tested in Iraq in this past war, which derived from the OICW.

joboy, you still have yet to reply to my question of how much firearms experience do you have.

I agree... and everyone else calls it the F-18 regardless. The F-4 was essentially multi-role (though not designed that way)... we didn't rename it F/A-4. Hell, the F-14 became multi-role.

Can a P-3 operate in the 30s? Honest question.

Also wearing two kneeboards :) A lot of the cards I have for backup, as most of them are WSO responsibility, but there are still a few I use all the time, such as 9-line cards, charts, admin, etc.

Rubios or Baja Fresh. Do it.

CAS = kneeboard hell. I have to use my approach strap on my other leg to keep everything organized, as well as putting charts under my thighs on the seat.

Oddly enough, Massachusetts did NOT have a duty to retreat from your home. In fact, MA essentially subscribes to the "Castle Doctrine" when it comes to your home. Odd for a state that is so restrictive on firearms.

What is your experience level with firearms? The first two are cartridges, the second is a pistol, a military designation to be exact. You heard wrong. Very wrong. Go to http://www.nra-ila.org and lookup CA state gun laws. You have a lot to learn. CA is one of the most restrictive...

A few states have a duty to retreat, even from your own house. You must retreat to the best of your ability until you no longer can without serious threat to your body or life. It's ridiculous the times we live in.

Look at the "progress" they've made in states such as Massachusetts, New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Maryland, and places such as DC, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and so on. Believe it, the gun-control lobby has been targeting semi-automatic firearms for a long time...

It pains me greatly when someone is giving a brief with eye charts full of text. I don't want to read 1000 words of text in a brief, that defeats the point. Lots of imagery makes me happy.

Some slow people on this site.

You don't know how close to reality that is.

Points, points, points out the a$$ for that picture.

They exist, but are not popular.

AK-74 clones in 5.45x39mm are increasingly popular. The ammo is harder to find than 7.62x39mm, so take that into consideration.

Why would there be. The reason for a multi-engine rating in fixed wing is asymetric thrust, etc etc etc. Something helos will not experience (loss of tail rotor is not the same thing, that's covered by your training).

My guess as well.

Yup, my junior year of high school. I remember it vividly. It affected us down in MA, badly (not as bad as Maine).

I have no idea how much of that I can talk to (not like I know much). I just know there were some very interesting lessons learned there. Edit: Meaning on a public forum

The one where the National Guard was called in for a state of emergency? I remember that in high school.

I believe the Patriot was in an automatic mode, i.e. man-not-in-the-loop.

Enough to fvck us up, but not to the level they used to.. yes.

Ooooh very true. Sloan was nice, not so much nowadays though.

HAL Pilot, cleared hot!

Annnnd bookmarked. I'd go for McFly's girl or Daniel-son's.

From what I understand (I could be WAY off), the FSU still took care of their Rocket forces, even in the bad times.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice A lot of the smilies are actually broken, you have to type them in yourself half the time.

She was money at the end of Breakfast Club too.

I don't think that's really the reason.

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?" I'll be shocked if the younger guys can ID that quote.

The funny thing is the aetheists can be just as vocal, bull-headed, and ignorant as the bible-thumpers. It makes for great entertainment.

I sold my self in a similar way in MA, though not as detailed. Sounds like I might give it a shot when I get back from cruise.

Since I'm here for 3 more years, I would like my CCW. Is Kings a hit-or-miss thing?

Pembroke is the same way. They will not issue you a CCW license unless your life has already been threatened and you are under threat of imminent harm. Oh by the way, it takes 30 days to get said license. Morons. I hate sheep.

Didn't bribe anyone. Worcester was very gun friendly for a MA city, it was practically shall-issue.

Ah yes, Oleg Volk's work. He has a lot of nice photos and whatnot.

Haha ok, I was looking at the question as one of where a new Marine pilot could go. Good point though :)

Dupe. Way old.

Dupe.

Fort Worth and Atlanta are Reserve only though, right?

Some CA police departments have AR-15s, if that is what you are asking.

It was freezing temperatures with snow, rain, and sleet when I went through SERE. Funnier stories? Yeaaaaah, not so much.

I had an unrestricted CCW license in MA :D And I wouldn't hold your breath. Firearms issues are not in the forefront the US mind (actually a good thing for us), and with a Democrat Congress... it'll be dead before it gets to the floor.

Paying over $600 for a plastic frame pistol is ridiculous, and that's why I'll never buy an HK, as much as I want one.

Not sure exactly what you're asking, but any provisions for LEOs in weapons laws doesn't mean Average Joe LEO can get those weapons. They would be for official business only, not personal ownership. In other words, purchasing for the department.

Your guess is as good as mine. It's California.

Yes, if you are NOT a resident of California and you receive PCS orders to California, you can apply for a Military Assault Weapons Permit. It is not published on the CADOJ website, you must call their Assault Weapons division to get the application. If you choose to reside in CA after your...
