Bookmarked.

Believe me--I try to pull the cream of the crop. I estimate that 90% of it is people retelling their anime/gaming stories( I was playing D&D and rolled 3 20s in a row), 8% telling things no one on God's green earth cares about(My car needs brakes), 11/2 % possibly true(Mom called me Sephiroth once), and the last 1/2% come here for your perusal.

19 different pistols, you guys. Plus ten more guns. And this guy ran totally normal and was in no way huffing and puffing and drenched in sweat because twenty-nine firearms and several dozen magazines of ammo don't actually weigh anything despite being made primarily out of metal. Also, they have no physical dimensions at all and there's no way you'd see some evidence that a guy was carrying almost thirty guns and as many extra magazines under his clothing. Hoodies are basically portals to alternate dimensions.

The same backpack actualy beat Boston airport security, because after coming back from England, this troper spent 10 minutes trying to take all the books he had bought overseas and didn't want to ship back(they totaled soemthing like 250, with 70 of those coming back with me directly). Eventualy, after 30 books, the bag checker gave up and handed me back the backpack, saying (I Am Not Making This Up) "Congradulations kid, you beat the U.S. Goverment. Now get the #$%^ out of here."

Because airlines have no weight limits on carry on or luggage. Given that commuter air travel is one of the most expensive forms of travel it probably would've been cheaper to, you know, ship them. (If this had actually happened.)

I actually got curious, so I decided to figure out how much that poo poo would weigh. Going a little conservative here:

* "19 different pistols" using the weight of a Walther PP (to represent the cheap .32 or .380 caliber pistols your average criminal actually uses): 27.31 pounds

* "6 revolvers" using the weight of a Colt Detective Special: 24.93 pounds

* "2 sawed-off shotguns" using a weight of 7.3 pounds (assuming the base gun weighed about 10 pounds and about 3 pounds was taken off by shortening it): 14.6 pounds

* "A hunting rifle" using the weight of a Remington Model 700 without a scope: 8.99 pounds

* "An assault rifle" using the weight of a plain M4 Carbine: 7.5 pounds with one magazine

* "A few dozen magazines of ammo" assuming nothing but loaded Walther PP magazines in .380 ACP, going with 24 mags and using a resource I have on magazine and cartridge weight: 6 pounds

So going as conservative as possible (using only compact handguns and revolvers with unloaded weight, only using compact pistol magazines, and only having one magazine for the AR-15 and no scope for the Remington 700), that gives me a total weight of 89.33 pounds. This man was running around the track with the weight of a high school freshman cheerleader on his body.

I have no idea what 89.33 pounds is but the nearer your gear gets to weighing 30 kg, the less people can march carrying it let alone run. Then again, some people are stronger than others :shrug:

e: And people do run while carrying women (I doubt they are high school freshman cheerleaders)

Books weigh an average of 1 pound. That's 70 pounds in a backpack, plus all those others. Roughly that 30kg that is pushing the limits for soldiers.

(I am interviewing a young college student for an entry level job. She’s wearing sweatpants and flip flops with a baggy shirt, and her hair’s a mess. Per the rules, we must reject any applicant who comes wearing inappropriate interview attire, even for entry level, so I do. My boss comes over to talk to me a short while later.)

Boss: “About her, did she really look that bad?”

Me: “Well, she looked like she had just rolled out of bed in old wrinkled clothes, and hadn’t bothered to brush her hair or groom at all.”

Boss: “Really? Because her resume is very good. I can’t believe someone with such a great resume would do that.”

Me: “Well, you told me that appearance is important when judging applicants.”

Boss: *snappish* “Yes, I know what I told you, but you should’ve hired her anyway! Did you even look at her resume?”

(Long story short, he overrode me, hired her anyway, and fired me… for following HIS rule! Idiocy must be a prerequisite for bosses.)

Thinking about it, I think a lot of it are those dumb little stories you share when you're hanging out with your friends and are just shooting the poo poo for a while, you're just telling them to pass time and maybe because they're slightly interesting to that friend. You're not looking to weave an intricate tale or send them to the floor laughing, you're just talking about something mild that happened to you while you're catching up with each other.

Maybe most of these folks don't have anybody IRL they can chew the fat with. So they try to maybe make it a little grander and that way they can sell it to strangers on the internet. Like when you want to order pizza but the place already closed, so you have a hot pocket from the freezer instead. If you try hard enough, you can pretend it satisfies the craving

In the US, it's surprisingly easy to legally manufacture and possess a sawed-off shotgun. Depending on where you live, it's probably more illegal to have on school grounds than the other 28 guns that didn't happen.

The legality of a sawed-off shotgun depends on the individual state. Federally, it would be classified as a short-barreled shotgun (SBS) and be subjected to a $200 tax stamp, fingerprinting, and extra red tape to get approval to own. Individual states can add their own restrictions, including completely banning them. Short-barreled rifles (SBR) are legislated the same way.

The one quirk is guns like the Serbu Super Shorty. If a shotgun is factory manufactured at such a short length, it instead gets classified as Any Other Weapon (AOW) and has only a $5 tax stamp, though the red tape to own is much the same. Either way, it's impossible to legally own a short-barreled rifle or shotgun without federal registration and more money than the gun is probably worth.

That said, the caveat is "legally". Any moron with a hacksaw can make one.

But it's certainly not legal to carry one to school.

Here's (a tiny bit of) content to underail.

quote:

(I am in a fast food restaurant and I notice a sign posted behind the register.)

Sign: “If you don’t know what you want to order, please kindly get the f*** out of the way for those that do.”
Me: *chuckles* “Nice sign.”
Employee: “Huh? Oh, yeah. One of our regulars chewed out another customer after she stood at the register trying to decide what she wanted. My boss thought it was a hoot and had a sign made.”
Me: “And he didn’t get in trouble for putting curse words on a sign?”
Employee: “A few customers have complained, but most get a laugh out of it, so he hasn’t taken it down yet.”

I've worked retail and fast food. We had to get regional permission to put up a sign when the credit card machine didn't work. Nobody's gonna let you put up a sign like this, come on. Minor, but it made me roll my eyes.

As of February 2014, 6 states legalize it, 21 ban it, and 23 let the universities have the final say. The usual reason given for not allowing it is that classroom discussions will get so heated that someone will pull a gun and shoot a teacher or student over Philosophy 101 or something; from the research I've done, so far I can't find any instances of this happening.

There's definitely plenty of illegal concealed carry going on, of course. Unless there are metal detectors or some other kind of security search, you can guarantee that at least one person has carried a gun in and out of any particular location. 99.9% of the time you'd never notice.
