    The ribbons business is happening to all the other branches except ours. Difficult for us to get anything. And we still use toothbrushes, but for cleaning floors more than rifles. They found qtips work a bit better. We still iron covers too. Difficult to change the Corps.

    But the creases are stitched into the covers now :(

    My last year was the first one they allowed personal bedlinens and alcohol in the barracks.

    Then Swat rolled heavy and shot not only Homer, but also his neighbour and everyone else in the house and two passers by - a police spokesman said they were glad o have eliminated a dangerous terror cell and called for calm

    Also shoot the pets as the ultimate deterrent. From a helicopter.

    If it is, this is the first time I've heard someone bragging about it.

    All fifty states have concealed carry now, in some form or another. Somebody pointing a rifle out of a window at passers-by? No jury in the world would convict.

    Honestly, that sort of stupidity really pisses me off. Trained in gun safety by my dad, the Boy Scouts, and the Marines. I've owned* guns since I was 14, and Rule #1 is that you don't go pointing them at anything you don't want to kill, no matter how many times you've checked that it was empty.

    If for no other reason than the other guy has no such assurance.

    Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire.


    ...and know your target and what lies beyond.

    Yeah, guess I should clarify that. I was four stories up, twenty feet from the window (which was covered in blinds), and aiming a few blocks away. And it wasn't the actual physical red dot, but the one where the dot floats in the sight. A "reticule?" Not sure of the terminology, but no terrorist threats were intended, visible or readily observable.

    So you were secretly aiming a deadly weapon directly at people?

    That's a relief.

    Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies are the greatest for this.
