This is why I trained my daughters to keep shooting until the threat stops moving.

Hollywood teaches people that one bullet kills bad guys.  That is a dangerous belief.



I think it depends on the caliber, I would think something like a .308 rifle will pretty much 1 shot 1 kill, or at least disable the guy with one shot. Though any hand gun caliber would definite not do it.

A .22 can kill if it hits the stomach, chest or head. It definitely has in home invasion cases. If it doesn't, it's easy to place another shot and fire again due to little recoil.

Mossad agents carry .22s for a reason.

Personally, I think Earth is the Universe's hell, a masochist centre for gaining new perspectives and tolerances.

Humans are mostly pieces of shit.

I sense a 500,000 Bitcoin sell. The long winter is going to catch somebody's attention.

5 dollars and below is where we are going.

A cop is minutes away when seconds matter. A gun on the other hand...

http://www.newson6.com/story/19858704/12-year-old-girl-shoots-intruder-during-home-invasion

BRYAN COUNTY, Oklahoma - A 12-year-old girl took matters into her own hands during a home invasion in southeast Oklahoma.
It happened on Wednesday when the girl was home alone. She told police a stranger rang the doorbell, then went around to the back door and kicked it in. She called her mom, Debra St. Clair, who told her to get the family gun, hide in a closet and call 911.

That was when St. Clair dropped what she was doing and raced home.

"I drove home at a really fast pace to try to get to her, and when I got here the police were already here. And they had the suspect," she said.

During that time, the intruder made his way through the house. St. Clair's daughter told deputies the man came into the room where she was hiding and began to open up the closet door. That was when the 12 year old had to make a life-saving decision.

"And what we understand right now, he was turning the doorknob when she fired through the door," said the Bryan County Undersheriff Ken Golden.

The bullet hit the intruder, who deputies identified as 32-year-old Stacey Jones. He took off but did not get far before officers took him down.

"He was sitting down, the policemen had him apprehended at the end of the block. All I saw was some blood coming down his back. I'm not exactly sure where his injury was, but I saw some blood there," explained St. Clair.

Jones was taken to a Texas hospital by helicopter after the incident. An investigator on the case said Jones was released from the hospital Thursday and extradited to the Bryan County Jail.

The 12-year-old girl was not injured during the ordeal.

I'm pretty sure  /r/Bitcoin on Reddit reached <80,000 subscribers a long time ago. The very instant it was created, in fact.

Yeah <80000 is totally easy.
I read it as "greater than 80,000" considering the open side faces the larger number... And with that sentence, I figured it out.

...we would make it to the top bar on the front of every page. We would first be seen by 1080p monitor users but gradually we could be seen by everybody. Now I am not suggesting that people should start shilling subscribers on /r/Bitcoin but if somehow that number were to get that high, the Bitcoin price might just be pushed higher due to publicity.

Every day hundreds of people like you and I live without the ability to post in the Gibbis, only because their money is worthless there.  


But can you live without the ability to post in YOSPOS?

Didn't you claim that someone else bought your first account for you?
Yep, that's right. I went through 3 accounts.

73  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: FinCEN says you must be MSB if you sell bitcoins for $ on: October 19, 2012, 01:02:15 AM
I was looking at starting up a site that would sell bitcoins through credit card transactions as a US based business. Not wanting to run into immediate regulatory problems I gave FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) a call. It took them a couple of weeks to get back to me but the answer was yes that business would be required to register as a Money Service Business.

One can't simply register as "A" Money Service Business.  MSB is a catch-all for 10 different types of specific business activity that requires registration.  So of course this FinCEN agent told you specifically which type of business activity to indicate on the registration.  Right?



Can't see how bitcoins or credit cards fit in to that at all lol

>Currency dealer or exchanger

dree12, I think you are just being a prude. If you are seriously hurt by one's choice of vocabulary on a internet forum, I don't know how you function in the outside world.

You need an option for both, cause I use bitcoin-qt with armory.

Armory has made enough modifications that it should be considered its own work.

That equates to about 50,000 usd per person in the US. 

Actually, over 40% of that debt is owed to American citizens and corporations (no, they are not the same).  Love my T-Bills 

The Federal Reserve debt is certainly not nationalized but owed to shareholders of the NY bank.

They will take your Bitcoins then ban you for some other reason.

You were banned for being obnoxious as all hell.

Electric would fit in right well with us on the other hand.

I would spend those 20 bucks all over again. The butthurt from you guys was hilarious. I received 10 angry emails about how some of you goons are proud of their welfare and government assistance, and that I should be reported to the IRS.

...gays and women?

It is amazing to me that the country can be $16,000,000,000,000 in debt, and the big stories of the year are Chick-fil-a and Planned Parenthood.

"Pay no attention to the impending doom, watch these dancing monkeys!"

It becomes much more personal (and important) when you're one of the monkeys.  I can understand throwing the gays under the bus from a percentage of population standpoint, but women? The neocons have lost their mind.  
Nobody is throwing women under the bus. Denying women an entitlement to contraception is not oppression in any sense of the word. What is oppressive is increasing health care costs by making everyone pay for something by government decree.
