Funeral Service

We just had range quals the other day, and found out that since our town isn't going to budge on buying us a patrol rifle, they're considering a policy that allows us to carry our own if we have one.

I now have an excuse to start building one. "But honey....its for work!"

I also managed to shoot a 236/250 with the M&P the first run through. All I did was change the amount of finger I had on the trigger and went up to a 249.

We got to play with one of the guy's new Sig 320 in .40, and it was a great shooter, and I'm considering putting one of those on my 'do want' list.

See if you can get something through that .mil surplus for police program. If they say it doesn't work for individuals, just send them a picture of you dressed as Dredd.

It's being done by guys at the county level now, so it isn't unheard of.

Write off or not, I'd better get going before the rumored phase 2 of the NY safe act is rolled out now that Prince Andy got reelected.

Hahaha! No, you wouldn't want to see that much of my rear end! Lol! Good find!

Hey whale,

how is the effects of social media on society studies going? Thats a particular subject that I've taken an interest in for about 5 years now.

So you've discovered everything that I hate about America.  Please give me details so I can kill it with fire.

I'm working on some basic stuff this fall to recharge my batteries, but in the spring I have some cool stuff lined up to test social media consumption and values of news literacy in people aged 18-21. My dissertation (Which I don't think I talked about on here much) found that people who tend to use the "Share" button on Facebook at a high amount are just as likely to "Share" a link to a piece of true information as a link to a piece of false information or a rumor. It's not everyone, just people who my study found to be "Power Endorsers" of information, tend to value sharing large amounts of content over being seen as factually correct -- and that those people could potentially be the cause of wide-spread health rumors on Facebook.  I also got some grant money and I'm working with a cohort of public health and physiologist researchers to find out what works best when building social media messages to promote good adolescent health.

is there any information regarding your studies that is publicly available? I think that what you're looking into parallels my interests.

To ski or visit?
