Rocket Executive's Service Station

[Rocket Executive]

Hi. I don't have much to contribute to the site other my opinions and comments, so I thought I'd make this thread. I'm kind of a Jack-of-All Trades, so this is a problem solving thread. Any problem you have, just name it and I'll do my best to figure it out and give you the best answer, advice, or instructions I have. I've done and been though next to everything, so if you need any help with anything, don't hesitate to post it. And anyone who wants to add their input is also encouraged. So...with that said...welcome to the station!

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not ask any questions that include answers that might be unlawful or harmful to others. All my information and instructions are for good intentions only. And if you're problem is with relationships, go ask the relationship guru. We already have a thread for that and plus, I'm no good with those, lol.

Also...if you want a good example of what to use this for and how thorough I am in my answers, check out Booda Sack's "What exactly is the breach?" post and my answer.

Talking in detail about guns probably isnt the best topic though..little children see this..

That's very true...I did think of that before I posted. The problem is with firearms is that the most common killer of people especially children with guns in the household is ignorance. The lack of knowledge of how to successfully use, operate, and handle firearms is what gets most kids killed, not criminal intent or "playing guns." Over 85% of people accidentally killed or injured with firearms have ended up that way because the didn't know what they were doing. I read a story in my community policing text book about a case where a kid was charged with the murder of his brother. They were using their dad's gun with his knowlegde, and the boy accidentally shot his brother when he was loading the gun. Another boy was injured when he shot himself in the leg while cleaning his rifle in front of his father. There is one thing I've learned from experience with criminals: If a person is going to commit a crime, they will do it regardless of any outside influence. I'd more worried about someone trying to handle their own gun and injuring themself. That is why I answered in such detail. Notice there is no info on how or where to obtain, build, or fire a gun. I'm not so naive that I would disclose any of that information. Kids are a lot smarter then we take them for, I agree. I have edited my posts on both threads for more clarification on this subject.

It's great someone wants to help, but really it's better to answer individual threads like you did with the breech one. That way everyone can contribute and you can still help. That's kinda always been our policy, so we can pool all our talents. Handle problems as they come. ^_^;
