Baby fingers or not, he's going up there with a Desert Eagle (chambered in.50 of course). He might not be able to use it and the recoil will probably mean he hurts himself more than anyone else but that's what he's gonna carry and nobody is going to get in his way or stop him from trying. Why? Because TRUMP.
(I have this all pictured in my head now. It's actually quite an amusing scene.)
For the same reason that firearm stores are very seldom robbed. Note: I did not say never, I just said very seldom. It has happened. It doesn't usually work out well for anyone.
That said, I'm typically armed or able to be armed in short order. I value my right to own firearms as much as I value my other rights - and I'd like to keep all of them, thanks. And, before you ask, I'd like *you* to be able to keep your rights too.
On the other hand, I don't actually expect to be Bruce Willis and the odds of me entering an active shooter situation, specifically to save your ass, is pretty slim. I don't really like you that much and that's not why I carry. I'm far more likely to retreat to a defensible position or just get the hell out of Dodge.
We have meaningful firearm regulation. Violent crimes and crimes committed with firearms have been trending down for decades. What we have is hand-wringing and media hype. What we don't have is a lack of regulations. There are reams of regulations specific to firearms. Whole books can be, and have been, written on the subject.
What we don't really have is consistent regulations, across State borders, and equitable enforcement of the existing regulations. What we don't have is an adequate health-care system and social safety net. What we don't have is an open, honest, and logical discussion on the subject of firearms because to some people "meaningful regulation" means no firearms at all and to others it means that they should be allowed nuclear weapons.

One of us is fortunate that I can't come through this monitor to get to you. Rather than appeal to my own ego, I'll say it's me that is fortunate. But, in my defense (or is that offense?), I'd try *really* hard to kick your ass for that.;-)
Seriously, the 'net needs a "slap poster" button. A big ol' mechanical arm, with an oversized cartoon shaped hand attached, comes out and whacks 'em across the jaw. And only I should get access to the button, of course.
I would jump on the chance to go to prison instead of remaining in a county jail. I've spent a weekend and a couple of nights in jail. It wasn't too bad, it was North Carolina where I spent the weekend. If I were sentenced to six or more months, I'd ask to be sentenced for at least N+1 days so that I could go to prison instead of serving the time in county. County is where the inmates are. Prison is where the convicts are.
I did work at a military prison but I was mostly outside - I was an escort/chaser (transportation officer). Military prison wasn't a bad place by itself. But it's a bit different there. There they don't send you to prison to be punished but they send you there as punishment. Detainees are still treated with respect (including officers) and you're there - which means you lost your freedom, that's the worst thing they'll do to you. It used to be considered normal human behavior for the detainee to try to escape. So, there was no penalty for them if they escaped, they just were brought back to finish their time.
Before I was in, a long time before I was in, and up until just after WWI, if an escort/chaser lost their prisoner then they were obligated to do their time until the prisoner was returned. While that doesn't have much to do with anything, it makes sense if you look at it right.
I like to call it the "Just Us" system, by the way. I think 'travesty' is a fine way to describe it.
I always treat them as if they need to be trained and then I do so accordingly. For example, I have a custom dictionary (actually several - for varied tasks/profiles) that has been curated for many, many years now. It's one of the first things I do when I set up a new system - I import my custom dictionary and overwrite the existing files where applicable. It's quasi-automated in the case of using a Live USB - I've a script that automates the retrieval of that file and a few others to put my profile into a standard configuration that is comfortable for me.

Therein lies a part of why my username is what it is. I am not the exclusive user of it as a username but I'm probably the first. I've had it for a very long time. I've even been flattered by someone who was impersonating me at one point. The I looks a lot like a lowercase L in many fonts. KGlll is not that dissimilar to KGIII at first glance unless you're looking for it or a font guru.
It seems like, other than the rendering properly issue, that might be easy enough to bang out a library for it. Are you sure such doesn't exist?
I have no idea as I've never used it but I thought that's one of the things that libunistrings tried to deal with. I'm not sure how to approach those which will not render properly, regardless of the system in use. I suppose there's room to cram more characters into the spec?
My retarded younger-self put my name on my license plate - while living in fairly rural environs. Yes, yes it was stupid and it meant that every time I did something stupid it would come to light quite quickly. I've not had a vanity plate since.
It might be interesting to find out the internal codes used for license plate readers and then see if they're properly sanitizing their inputs. Does "stolen" flag anything? Does DBR-323 flag as wanted for questioning? Sure, many of us assume that they're properly dealing with inputs but I'm not willing to operate under any such assumptions. I've *seen* too many examples of bad code.
Ah good. I'm not the only one to have thought that. Sadly, there are people who think they're the same thing. At risk of waxing philosophical and off-topic, I'd say that this is a problem either in science itself or in science journalism and teaching.
Now that would be amusing. I do find it baffling. They *proved* that it *probably* isn't in his grave. So, in other words, they didn't really prove anything. *sighs*
Yup. With some practice, you could get pretty good at it. I'd not say that I was as fast as I was when I'd turned the rotary dial but I was pretty speedy. The thing is, unless you forced the rotary dial back - it was pretty slow returning to its original position so I had a slight advantage but was still not quite that fast. I imagine that I might have gotten that fast if I'd practiced enough.
Also, it's kind of amusing that you got the response you did - I noted the AC below your post commenting on 911. Yeah... About that... That'd actually be kind of unnecessarily slow on a rotary dial phone. Though it does kind of make some sense from a rotary viewpoint. It's probably not easy to dial 911 by mistake on a rotary phone.
Sweet. Lemme know when they're available for me to view 'em. Funny enough, I almost posted a reminder in the response I'd written but I figured it hadn't been long enough to need a reminder. (I imagine anyone reading this is now officially lost or confused.)
At any rate, I'm quite curious to see them. Maybe they'll give me some inspiration to write about 'em. I'm officially working on a site, technically a network of sites, to prove a point and win a bet - but also because it's an interesting thing to do. The first of them is up and running but incomplete. It's *close* to complete but not quite there. I've a few more kinks to work out, I keep finding small bugs, and there's a few more tweaks to be made.
The best thing is, I'm doing it all for the low cost of absolutely zero dollars. That's part of the bet. If you're curious, click here and be even more confused. *sighs* It's a long story.;-) Aren't they always?
I know you're trolling, and likely trying to make the left look like they're lunatics, but I think even the average person on the left is keen on the idea that innocent people should not go to jail just to give a family some closure. I don't even think the people on the extreme left generally advocate such things. No, I'm pretty sure that all facets of the political spectrum don't want to put innocent people in jail just to give the family closure. That would be stupid.
A long, long time ago (back when the Sun was new enough to still have a price-tag hanging off the side), I had a phone that had had the rotary section removed. It was meant for inbound calls only. For one reason or another, I ended up needing a phone for a short while and needed to make outbound calls. With a little practice, you could press the button to mimic pulse-dialing and actually make outbound calls on that phone. I kept it around, after no longer needing it for that purpose, just as a novelty.
This was the 1970s and the phones all came from the telephone company back then. Also, we didn't have nearly as many amusements as we have today. Being able to dial out just by pressing the receiver button repeatedly was a good party trick - it was a simpler time.

You might want to check New Hampshire. I don't think they're alone in their allowance.
Come to think of it, I think Maine might allow it. Err... I really, really should know that. Ah well... I'll ask someone by email.
