Chicago suing Glock

[Lex Luthier]

Reminds me: we haven’t had a state of the twin cities update in a while. Has the evening automatic weapon fire mellowed out a bit? Do you still have a PD? Enquiring minds want to know, as you can find time.

Will do when practicable. I'll also call on others in the area to add their perspectives.
(Anyone seen @olstyn in a while? He's a good dude with a sharp eye.)

FWIW, I haven't *personally* heard anyone "trip a switch" in about a year. It certainly still happens.
St Paul PD limps on. 550 sworn officers in a city of 300k. More anon.

Thread drift, but this is the second time in the past few weeks that I have read about someone going crazy after taking marijuana. The same people who are trying to ban guns are trying to legalize that poison. I can certainly think of a few good targets for a plaintiff's litigation attorney.

Stupidity.

Are the people getting caught with switches getting the 10 year sentences? That would be a little bit of a silver lining.

Just to address this comment, when you see the penalty for a crime, that is generally the maximum penalty unless it’s something with a mandatory minimum. In order to qualify for the statutory maximum, you generally already have to have a substantial criminal record or other aggravating factors. The only federal gun crime I’m aware of that has a mandatory sentence is 18 USC 924(c), the statute for having or using a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking or violent crime. If your charges are never filed to begin with, or they get dismissed, or pled down to very minor offenses, you don’t end up with a sizable criminal record that hurts you during sentencing. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a case yet where the offender’s history was so egregious that they got the statutory maximum on a gun crime. The closest I’ve seen so far was seven out of the maximum 10 years.

Judas f'ing priest. Let's hold stranger rape victims responsible for wearing too-short skirts while we're at it. Why half-ass things?

You live in the great state of Washington where If you leave your car running and it is stolen the owner will be tagged (ticketed).

If you leave it running, unlocked with keys that’s negligence and possibly even an attractive nuisance.

Only if you also leave the blow up love doll that you use to bogart the carpool lane in the passenger seat…
