What's your take on the SB2 ruling, I personally think it sucks. I'm just waiting for my CCW permit pickup but SB2 put a damper on it.

SB2 is unenforceable at this time, but I agree it is trash legislation. California becomes more and more of a craphole every passing year.

I have my ccw interview set for March 5th. I'm assuming the new laws are gonna be declared unconstitutional and reversed so I'm gonna get mine now and keep my fingers crossed.

Good luck! I think every law abiding citizen should carry.

I agree - especially with what's going on in LA now.
I'm also open to open carry. Don't see why we gotta hide that shit.
An armed society is a polite society.

Having said that, I'm not some 2A nut. I still believe in background checks and wait periods and reasonable restrictions.

Well we have had background checks, wait periods, etc. for my entire adult life (…and before that). I just don’t agree with some of the other stuff California wants to implement (…or has implemented).

agreed. stupid shark fins on my AR and other nonsensical stupidity.
At least once a week I think about packing up all my shit and moving to a state that isn't completely asinine.
Then I realize, how can you beat the life we have in SoCal? lol.

That’s what my father in law did as well.

He’s lived in San Diego, Santa Monica, Santa Cruz, left SC about 5 yrs ago for Nevada, he’s very happy to be out of Cali as are both of his daughters who now live in FL. His son, my brother in law lives in Temecula, it’s expensive and they work so much - i’m not sure how much they get to enjoy their track home that cost close to $800k (their starter home).

The older I get the more I appreciate slower cities. Glad I left SoCal in 2008, but it took 5 yrs to detox - I was so used to being over stimulated I didn’t know any better

That detox process is real, but surprisingly I acclimated rather quickly. I like the peace of not seeing neighbors, really quiet streets, etc. I find myself becoming anxious toward the end of my work week because I know I’ll get to flee this state.

Well... "shall not be infringed" can only mean one thing and is pretty self-explanatory. All those things you listed are infringements.

Sad news from "On Patrol: Live" on Friday evening. Coweta County, GA Sheriff Deputy Eric Minix, 31, was fatally injured earlier this week when he was struck as he was exiting his 2017 Dodge Charger by a 2017 Ford Explorer patrol vehicle driven by 28-year-old Lanett, Alabama Police Department officer Cornelius Robinson. Deputy Minix was a K9 handler, and one of the officers that the TV show rode along with. The high-speed chase started in Georgia, and crossed into Alabama.....

Electric patrol vehicles?

For our small town/force, they *might* make sense. That acceleration, yo!! We don't generally, or even sporadically, provide support to other jurisdictions where we couldn't drive to/from/around/in between and not make it home in time to charge.

SB2 shot down. Big win. S/O to Tulare county sheriff for having a spine in all this. Not even a squeak from Luna which wasn't surprising.

I've heard that argument many times, but I also know that when someone is in jail they don't commit crimes. Meanwhile up the coast in British Columbia the same 40 criminals have been arrested 6000 times. Canada's bail system is now referred to as catch and release. https://twitter.com/PierrePoilievre/...359174?lang=en

It certainly would deter crime for some, maybe not all, and yes gets them off the street and into an environment where they have some tough decisions to make about their actions. "If I keep behaving like a criminal this is where I'll end up." How would that not deter someone? Lunacy.

[iminhell1]

So I only brought up the flame thrower because of all the gun talk junk. But me being the curious person I am,


It would seem that Minnesota doesn't have a restriction on owning a flame thrower, if a condition is met. I would imagine it'll be a court battle if anyone bitches about it.

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.668

Subd. 5.Exceptions. This section does not apply to:
...
(3) propellant-actuated devices, or propellant-actuated industrial tools manufactured, imported, or distributed for their intended purpose;

And wiki for the federal implications,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regula..._United_States

It kinda looks to be a grey area.

Ebay says the sale of not a flame throwers are legal; and really not that expencive.

The radio running the entire time, etc. makes EV’s largely useless as a dedicated patrol vehicle.

Yeah, very few care for the current leadership of LASD.

I'm just thinking about the number of times my Scout Car sat with the roof lights running, computer etc on and AC or Heat on a traffic point, and then the car had to be turned over to my relief for his/her 12 hours shift. I'd fill up at the gas pump out back of the station, how does it work when it takes 2 hours to recharge the battery.
