    Halloween Weekend

    in Dumont Happenings

    Posted

    Got to the dunes about 8am on Saturday.

    Got unloaded and had to finish up a couple things on the car. :blury:

    Got everything done and went to make the rounds to see everyone.

    Ashley and the girls came out Sunday morning and we had some very nice runs with the car with the whole family.

    Ashley was very impressed with how the car rides.

    A very good weekend with very little issues on a brand new car.

    WOW BERT THAT CAR LOOKS ALOT BETTER IN THE SAND THAN WHEN I SAW IT THE LAST TIME BEING BUILT IN SANDSNAKE'S DRIVEWAY

    I HOPE TO MAKE IT OUT THERE FOR NEW YEARS SO I WANNA GO FOR A RIDE!!!

    need a crane service hookup in Vegas

    Sometime over the next month I am going to need a crane service that can lift a complete BBQ/ bar island over a 2 story house. The island is about 8-10 feet long and maybe about 5 feet wide. If anyone has any connections please let me know. Last time this thing was moved it cost about $750 which actually seems pretty reasonable to me but I'm hoping to save whatever I can.

    raspadoo, wanna make a Vegas trip with one of your trucks? :idea::atv: :atv:

    Hey contact KR350, he has a guy that removed a spa in a backyard for me for a good price :laughoff:

    Barack Obama Has Awakened A Sleeping Nation

    By Gary Hubbell

    Aspen Times Weekly

    4-7-10

    Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America's future. He is the best thing ever.

    Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.

    That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America.

    Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.

    Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips -- they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.

    Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.

    We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.

    But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.

    In the time of Barack Obama, Black Panther members stand outside polling places in black commando uniforms, slapping truncheons into their palms. ACORN -- a taxpayer-supported organization-- is given a role in taking the census, even after its members were caught on tape offering advice to set up child prostitution rings. A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union -- whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense -- is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.

    I don't know about you, but the other day I was at the courthouse doing some business, and I stepped into the court clerk's office and changed my voter affiliation from "Independent" to "Republican." I am under no illusion that the Republican party is perfect, but at least they're starting to awaken to the fact that we cannot sustain massive levels of debt; we cannot afford to hand out billions of dollars in corporate subsidies; we have to somehow trim our massive entitlement programs; we can no longer be the world's policeman and dole out billions in aid to countries whose citizens seek to harm us.

    Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 years -- the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track.

    And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

    After the cleanup, headed back to camp and was getting warm, decided to pull out the awning, got dogs tied up, opened up a cold one sat down and wam!!!!! Big gust of wind out of nowhere started and almost took the awning right off the trailer, spilled my beer!!! :barf: and it took 4 of us to roll up the awning.

    Made the mistake of leaving one of the truck windows down a little, there's enough sand in their to make a dune!!!!

    Had to go outside and adjust the leveling jacks, I finally hooked the truck back up to stabilize the trailer more.

    Fun times Saturday night in TRP's Duners hauler, i'm sure sandchick will post the vids!!!

    Went ridin :headbang1: this mornin with SandSnake and both of us almost ate it hard but saved it, it looked like rocks :?: in the sand, but, it was hard packed wet sand formed into ruts, found some smooth sand and rode a bit till the wind picked up.

    Vehicle stops are the #1 most dangerous thing a cop does. Someone inside a vehicle is an officer safety issue itself. Exiting the vehicle is a concern because it is not the norm and when someone does something that most other people don't do it puts the cop more on edge, but every cop on every car stop is already concerned. More officers die on car stops than any other on duty situation.

    If you choose to exit your vehicle for whatever your reason may be, do so slowly with your hands in view at all times and do NOT walk towards the patrol car or reach back into the vehicle once you are out.

    Think about this..someone gets out of the veh following the above procedure and the cop orders them to the front of their patrol car while maintaining cover at their door, with their weapon drawn if they feel the need...is that safer than...someone in the veh, say the windows are dark tinted, it's night and they stopped where there isn't much light, its a truck so it sits higher than the patrol car thus reducing the officers view of movements inside (that was the scene when I got stopped in dec), the officer has to leave all forms of cover and walk towards the veh while the occupants watch the officer, who then arrives at the door without any cover and weapon still in holster...

    The procedure for if someone exits the vehicle on a car stop is to NOT allow that person to re-enter the vehicle and to call the person to the front of the patrol car. It is more dangerous for the person to be in the vehicle than out of it and standing at the patrol car. But not all departments have the same procedures and not all cops follow the procedures. Once you are at the front of the car you may be patted down for weapons without your consent, but they may not complete a search of your person unless you are being arrested or you give consent. Once you are out of the vehicle they have no reason to enter it and complete a search, unless you are going to jail, plain view, consent, or PC. They won't have PC to search if they stopped you for a traffic violation and not because 'your vehicle matches the description of' unless they think they can get away with it and don't think you know your rights.

    Text book what to do on a vehicle stop is....immediately signal and pull to the right, stop the vehicle, place in park, roll down the drivers window and rear drivers side window if equipped, turn on the dome light if its night time, place hands on steering wheel till officer arrives....not many people actually do this though and cops are use to people not being predictable or doing what they are supposed to, they train to prepare for those situations.

    I have buddies in Metro too, but the difference is I also have a P# myself and I know what it is like to be in the patrol car making a traffic stop and not knowing what to expect :thumb: .

    It's personal preference, like I stated IF you do decide to exit the vehicle for whatever reasons you have, do so slowly and keep your hands in view, yes it will make the cop uncomfortable. If you have exited the vehicle and have no reason to re-enter the vehicle, which is why I said have your paperwork accessible..the cops have no reason to search your vehicle unless you are being taken to jail or you have something illegal in plain view. It doesn't matter if you declare a weapon or not, if you are not in the vehicle they can not enter it and if they do the only area they can access is the immediate location of the weapon. If you are not in the vehicle then do not declare the weapon, if they ask say no, if they ask consent to search say no. They do not have PC to search a vehicle for a traffic stop, which is why I said they are to tell you the reason for the stop upon initial contact, if they don't then ask. If you are concerned that you will be arrested and you do not want them to access you vehicle.. if you get pulled over, pull into some place and park legally, so when they take you to jail they can't tow (hence enter) your vehicle.

    I live in Henderson also and I've been stopped by HPD, I have 2 gun permits and I'm listed in their database as prior law enforcement from LVMPD. Each time I was stopped they knew nothing about me (the last time was 2 months ago) until they went back to their vehicle to run their checks and he still never questioned a weapon.

    If you know the laws and know your rights and the officer knows that you are knowledgable they are going to be less likely to take advantage of you...and that is exactly how they get away with what they do, because people don't know any better and are hesitant to speak up to a cop. You think you aren't being treated fairly request the supervisor, note the officers name and ask for their P#...if they don't give you any info and don't cite you or arrest you, but you don't think you are treated fairly or legally then call IAB...internal affairs and give them the time of stop and location and description, tell them you want to be advised of the outcome and get a ref # and name. You may not think IAB will follow-up on one of their own, but you would be surprised. I've had to make statements on investigations on officers from situations I wouldn't have thought would be investigated.

    I'll confirm with metro this week if gun registration is linked to vehicle registration or if it has to be searched seperately. I'm pretty sure it is all seperate searches, there is pages of info that comes up from a simple plate query, if they linked everything to a plate search they would be overwhelmed with pages of info. I use to run plate after plate 10-20 at a time and just wait for a 'hit', the dispatcher would get my 'hit' before I would because I was busy scanning through 2-4 pages for each plate I ran and that was just registration info and stolen info. They have different databases for searches, DMV, NCIC, NCJIS and SCOPE, each of those provides specific info and you can't (or you couldn't) run 1 search and get it all back. It doesn't take very long to get the returns when the system is running properly. It's not my theory it's my real life experience.

    :laughoff: But back on the track a bit...if you are carrying a gun to Cali you should probably check out the laws and know your rights. The reason I stated how to avoid having your vehicle searched was to help out any of those law abiding, good people, fellow duners, who happen to take a gun with them to the dunes.

    I'm pretty sure NV is not sharing gun registration info with other states, but I'll check on that also.

    ok this might be :beercheers: , but what would u recommend i should do if i get puled over and Gauge, Coral and Sandy are in the vehicle? obviously i cant roll down the window all the way,

    also from what i understand is that when traveling with a weapon in ca, ammo and gun have to be seperated, so no clip or 1 in the chamber, i could be wrong :lol::dayum:
