  1. Well, the NSA lined their headquarters building with copper mesh as a Faraday shield - back in the '50's.

  2. The good guys fired, the bad guys ducked. The bad guys fired, the good guys ducked. The cops fired, everybody ducked...

  4. Actually, old wire lath walls would block this.

  5.  @truekurayami  incumbent upon orders is, one obeys lawful orders, one challenges and then refuses unlawful orders. That's taught to every military NCO and Commissioned Officer. Perhaps, we need that taught to police officers.

  6.  @beyondEV  AI can't get around the laws of physics. That's like saying that AI could make a regular 9mm bullet make 90 degree turns. Meanwhile, an old wire lath wall would block this, well, save for windows and metallic screens would disrupt it.

  7. It's simplicity itself. Gated communities are golden, riff-raff like us are toast, it'd god-cop land.

  9. During the blizzard of 96, my wife, I and our daughters were stranded. A nice officer picked us up at the hospital ED and drove us to my parents home, well, a block short, as it was outside of his jurisdiction. Profusely thankful we were, a block wasn't a big deal considering the alternative. Same department a few years later, rookie fidgeting with his weapon... Even his backup and he was backup backed away from him, wanting nothing of what might come. Thankfully, nothing came of the non-event, just some dread memories, got my citation from the original officer, called it a day once I got the car out of impound. Lugged around a sidearm and primary arm for decades, never had some odd urge to wield the damned thing. Had to in extremis, but never wanted to haul the damned thing out and launch lead. That said, if we kissed bumpers, I'd be "what in the actual fuck, over?!". It'd get settled quickly at the roadside peacefully, whoopsie is good enough. We all have brain farts. Never pulled that one, but had enough others over 62 years to cover that ground. No need for the Keystone Cops. Most cops experiences have been positive, including when cops got called on me for assault - by someone that actually committed battery upon my person and well, rightfully so, given what I called her mother. Cops actually laughed at that, already viewed the Walmart video and were as unwilling as I was to prosecute. Got that home health aide fired instead, as I was accompanying someone to the store and haven't done so since. Laughable, she called the police on me after engaging in aggravated battery (aggravated due to local statute in exceeding charges), while all I did was literally raise my cane. And due to military training, I could've taken her head clean off, but was simply blocking further blows. Got two brain cells competing for third, don't need one killed.

  10. Priced a fence, found the 45-70 was cheaper with a box of 450 grain hollowpoints. A lot excessive for deer though. Usually though, I end up with a nice, polite conversation and the nice officer sods off eventually. Or once, "Get off of my property". His supervisor apologized profusely later. We all have off days, oh well. My off days typically end in the letter 'y' in English. The fun begins when two end up having that off day together. Then, it's rightfully a festival of apologies. Beats gunfights. Given my unit didn't have a budget to afford missing the target. But then I'd have to clean the damned thing again... Usually though, as I said, it's conversation of mutual interest, offer of coffee (the mighty elixir of life) and eventually, we both sod off. Occasionally, with "No worries, officer, if the SOB pops by here, he'll be calling you to rescue him". And yeah, did hold one nosebleed at gunpoint, aimed precisely at his dick before until the nice officers retrieved the garbage. My good side is the back of my head at times. The rest of the time, it's chill pill, just don't push the naughty button.

  11. Well, there's always Russia or China. Although, Iran remains free-ish.

  12. A known gang hangout, a place where a gang hangs out routinely. That said, guilt by association isn't legal in the USA, only in the Fascist States of America. Where shoes are now illegal, since they can come untied. Welcome to the Fascist States of America, land of the god-cops, who can do no wrong. Where their legal immunity exceeds Presidential immunity.
