Just call them and get a fricking alarm. Stop messing around with do it yourself or all this other crap. You need a professional installed and monitored alarm. Pick up the phone and be done.

If this doesn't do the trick, and you're still hesitant to move to surgery, no one would fault you for asking your doc for a leukotriene inhibitor (like Singulair). There's not great evidence in the literature, but anecdotally it does pretty well in helping to control a chronic sinusitis-li...

They can take over a year and a half to work (and sometimes longer in some patients).
See if your doctor offers rush or cluster immunotherapy and consider whether or not it's for you. Imo, most cases can be managed fairly well with a combo of an antihistamine, nasal steroid (ideally Dymista if y...

Allergy shots (they can take a long time to work, sometimes more than 1.5 years, ask about an accelerated schedule), Zyrtec/Claritin/Allegra, and flonase/nasacort/nasonex/dymista (dymista also contains an antihistamine so if it's cost prohibitive you can get astepro and flonase separately). Throw in...

re: We are one Supreme Court justice away from having our gun rights stripped
Posted by M1911 on 4/12/14 at 9:50 pm
The Courts don't usually like to mess with settled case law. And thanks to the McDonald and Heller cases, the individual right to bear arms isn't going anywhere unless the second amendment is altered or something of the sort.

It will take at least two generations. A poll came out fairly recently that said younger Americans back the right to own "assault weapons" by a large majority.

re: Mass vs velocity? What are your thoughts? .45 superior to 9mm
Posted by M1911 on 3/23/14 at 12:37 pm
Modern defensive ammunition has greatly improved the effectiveness of pistol rounds and has decreased the performance gap between rounds.
Assuming all things are equal, .45 is still going to display better ballistics with the same bullet design. However, the difference is not nearly as significan...

It has happened plenty of times and it will happen again.
People get mistaken for people all the time, maybe they thought he was someone stepping on their trade. It happens.

And yeah, great idea. Put his family in the mid...

And if he used "better judgment" that night in a different scenario (a rapist/murderer or 20 year old with a gun and intent to burglarize), he and his family could have been seriously harmed or dead.
You don't know the kid's intentions at the time, especially when your family is on the line. So w...

About 15 years ago, a guy shot a car burglar in Carrolton or the Riverbend area. Nobody had driveways in the neighborhood, so everyone parked on the street. The guy lived on a corner and his car was parked on the side street. He got up during the night to piss, looked out the bathroom windo...

I'd say that there's about zero chance of Landry being convicted of 2nd Degree Attempted Murder, IF this ever goes to trial. I thought he was overcharged from the start.
As far Coulter's "intent" is concerned, it's a pretty big logic leap to see someone in your driveway/courtyard by you...

Posted by M1911 on 2/28/14 at 1:25 am
Certainly. I wasn't disagreeing with the first bit if you got that impression. I just think if the kid was a 20 year old it probably wouldn't have even gone to trial, especially with less public pressure.
The going outside and by doing so escalating the situation shouldn't make a difference, alth...

If Coulter had been pulling on the door to the house when Landry shot him, Landry wouldn't be having all these problems. I think the main issue is that the kid WASN'T breaking into the house and Landry's self-defense story isn't airtight.

And that the kid was 14 and unarmed.
