@ oktain: I missed the french story! ROFL That was awesome!

@ okvortec: True about the messing with the wrong people thing. I'm sure you will get your fair share of douches when you start patrolling. It's the funniest/worst thing in the world, dealing with people in a law enforcement capacity I mean. You will either learn to love it, or live to hate it

@ wlorton: Why the hell do you have a wiffleball bat? I'm imagining the yellow one that is thicker than a broom handle but not bat thick (not the big red cave man one). WTF would you do with that?! Annoy someone into further violence?

i have a fun little collapsible PR-24 in my door pocket since concealed firearms get you a spanking these days

My experience for the day... I just left my counseler's office. (SIDE NOTE: marriages dont do well with 37 months deployed in the first 72). He had cured me of all my problems so I was walking with a nice smile and whistling a tune like I was in some lame *** Disney movie.

When I got to my Blazer (which I had backed in) Some a-hole in a white mom van had parked over the line RIGHT beside my D side door. First glance I found the spot where I had been love tapped. Further inspection revealed white paint transfer and paint chips still on my door. Also, my door was gouged to the metal.

I left a nice little note about how thankful I was that a lazy person like them had decided to crowd me out while parking (cleaned up since this is a family site) and after mashing their folding side mirror flat so i could get by, I got into my vehicle. Luckily my d side door is screwed already, and the replacement has not been painted and attached yet so getting into my vehcile was no problem (for me).
You see, if they were so important that they had to park so close to me and trade paint, than the least i could do was slip carefully into the driver's seat, start her up and check to see if my hinges still worked by bracing my left foot against the bottom of my door and forcing it open.

Luckily, the hinges still work. And I was able to give a little paint back as a gesture of kindness for the sharing they did. All in all I am fully aware that counseling is a crock of *edit*.

 

I had something similar happen, except with a dodge pickup..I folded his mirror in with a post-it saying "thanks for parking so close!", I then took my gum and stuck it under the door handle... had I been having a better day, I probably would have skipped on the gum

 

so, today was a good day then!


but at least you're going.

isn't a pr-24 illegal? they are here anyways. i used to keep my 6 D-cell Mag light between the console & driver's seat in my '92, but these 2nd gen's have no room in them for anything that wasn't factory installed (that sucks). can't even fit my cordless LED trouble light in the door pocket.

 

Idk about you, but you fill it with sand/rocks and its basically like a steel rod.. lol... the ax was a gift from my father and means something special, and the wiffleball bat is actually the groomsman gift from my sisters wedding...

I have only had to use it once... and it was on a drunk person... funny as ****... lol kid thought i broke his knees and wouldnt shut up

 

wlorton: OH! ok now i'm tracking. there was an old retired hungarian war vet in the neightborhood i grew up in. he would partol around on a bike and keep punks and hobos out of the area. he carried something similar it was a piece of pvc pipe filled with concrete but wrapped with wall paper (wtf?) that thing would be kind of brutal
as for the i dont know the local laws regarding it. maybe being military police would swing me some lighter treatment if its a no no hope it never comes down to it, but never know when you could need it. BTW it replaced my asp because it got bent and rusted chipping through ice to get the wife's 2wd unstuck a couple winter's back

 

Yeah, I keep an aluminum bat in mine. It's no weapon as far as I'm concerned -- it's just there in case I get called for softball practice at the last minute.

 

I got a laugh out of this. Will have to save the first part for future use

 

ever heard of the 1.98? a dude on youtube named jiggaboo jones made it. get yourself a pepsi bottle, spray paint it black fill it with cement add a led pipe and let it dry!

or if your a water drinker, just melt plexiglass i believe? and im not sure what he used to hold it... anyway i got a couple coke bottles in my apartment.

 

I've got the regular collapsible police baton,I think it's called a TSB 16. Yes, they are illegal, lol.

 

1.98? can't say I have...
so basically you are crafting on of these?


im not following the melted plexiglass though... ? a plexi-disk? Xena style?
