First part : right but it is much more difficult to shoot for the head, and a cop is not supposed to know who is on crack, so he shoots for the center of mass. 2 and 3 are right, but it takes a bit of time, more than enough to get yourself shot/stabbed (which is what you try to avoid, remember...

Do you see any difference between looking down a loaded barrel and looking the quarrel side of a loaded crossbow ?? I dont. In both cases the results and responsabilities are the same. I guess you now think crossbows should be banned :D First you resort to unaccurate facts and wrong...

If you had some experience, you would know that it is much easier to shoot for the center of mass. I guess the crackhead was not wearing a 'I am on crack' t-shirt, so the cop did the right thing tactically. A 22LR wont reach the vitals and stop a cracker, that is fact. >> And yes, the guns...

Welcome to the wonderful new society of Rs7 ! Let's be back 3000 years ago as a matter of defense. I guess every violent criminal is fully aware that stabbing is very difficult (at least more than shooting a human being), so hopefully these people wont use knives to kill. History shows that...

BTW, Bungrider, I think you are biased. For the self-defense aspect, you actually need more than a 9mm to stop a crackhead. Their pain sensors are asleep, impossible to make a one shot stop, you need something more powerful to reach the vitals. (countless reports of such situations are out...

Yep, usefull in some situations. BTW, the shelf life of this stuff is limited. If you keep it for too long, it turns solid and penetrates as a regular ball. So, be aware of this if you live in a condo, or where houses have thin walls. OHLC

Of course, the usa has the by far highest rate of gun deaths among the worlds richest nations, since this is probably the rich nation were gun availability is the broader. If some female with a gun is assaulted by a rapist, you have a dead rapist, and this one counts as a 'gun death'. If...

Rs7, do you believe free speech only applies when people write with feathers and ink or that it also applies to the internet ? Same thing for the muskets. The goal was to provide a safeguard against a political system not respecting the other amendments. A safeguard that suppose the average...

Actually, some European countries now have way more criminality than the US. You are right, thought, that the availability of guns is much more restricted (to law-abiding citizens, of course) in Europe. OHLC

The country is Swiss. Crime is non existant there. (although gun-ownership is not the main reason). In fact, they are issued the semi-auto version of their current military auto-rifle. I think it is in Swede where people are issued FA subguns, as well as those nice G3s. OHLC

>> Too bad none of the career reccomendations for INTP/INTJ mention day trader. >> Some mention 'venture capitalist', quite close to trader/day trader. OHLC

Wondering if anyone already uses REDI to trade Euronext... What do you think about it ? Is it faster/slower or about the same as for NYSE stocks ? Also wondering wether the CO is available, or only the l1... Thanks for any replies, OHLC

Thanks Otl :D Week-end going to be hard on me... A tobacco quitting insomniac OHLC

Best week ever for me. Did not trade the US a lot, though. OHLC

Nope, never heard about this metro thing... OHLC

The TGV still beats the ICE, 300km/h is the max speed for the ICE, this is only the "commercial" speed for the TGV. The TGV has been around for more than a quarter of a century, nowadays TGVs are faster than the first models... And BTW, the TGV is about the only thing related to railroads...

Rs7, what is this funny fuzzy/whooly thing you wearing on your head ? :D OHLC

The "cable cars" are called Télépheriques. OHLC

Some traders think only the US markets are worth trading. Some think only the EU markets are worth their time. I trade both markets, starting the day at 8:45 AM, and ending around 22PM. The reason this is important for me is the way these markets relate to each other. Usually, a strong...

A 223 with a 68 grains bullet can be pushed to about 2800fps. The 55 grainer reaches 3100-3200fps from a standard barrel. So, the bullet is supersonic. Three cases regarding the sound : Supersonic round, no silencer : The sound is heard near the shooter, and through all the trajectory...
