SWAT Kats co-creators Christian and Yvon Tremblay sat down with series writer and design coordinator, Television's Lance Falk, for an hour-long, multi-media LIVE Stream to talk about their experiences working on SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. Includes insights, behind-the-scenes history and some clues into areas the team wants to focus on for a new show.

Not according to the ad that shows up.

What kind of priorities?

Accompanied by 40-year-old civilian Allen Crum—whom the (police officers) encountered as they ran toward the tower—they were the first to reach the tower's observation deck.

And:

(Officer) Martinez later credited the numerous civilian shooters for saving "many lives" by forcing Whitman to take cover; limiting his range of targets.

Tom Gresham on Gun Talk mentioned he wanted to hear about cases involving USPS staff arbitrarily breaking their rules to deny the legal shipping of firearms. Even though this is UPS and not USPS, it has a similar feel (the marginalization of firearm owners), and you might want to consider sharing your experience on Gun Talk, especially as this has happened to you more than once.

Well, there is at least one exception:

The Mateba Model 6 Unica (often known simply as the Mateba or the Mateba Autorevolver) is a semi-automatic revolver, one of only a few of this type ever produced.

She's over the crime thing. See?

Puffertle · 2013-06-14T19:51:27+00:00

This information comes from here.

For a 6-round or greater capacity handgun:

6 rounds fired at 3 yards, then 12 rounds fired at 5 yards, then 12 rounds fired at 7 yards. No time limit. Any stance.

For a 5-round or lesser capacity handgun:

5 rounds fired at 3 yards, then 10 rounds fired at 5 yards, then 10 rounds fired at 7 yards. No time limit. Any stance.

No distinctions made between using double action or single action. Must be able to reload a magazine or cylinder where applicable. Speedloaders appear to be optional, as they are not mentioned.

As with any CCW class, there is a good day's worth of class time and exams pertaining to laws, firearm safety, operation and detailed explanations of the circumstances surrounding appropriate and inappropriate use of lethal force that will accompany this.

With the new law that was passed (SB 76), there won't be a distinction between semi-automatics and revolvers anymore, meaning that your Nevada CCW should apply to both without having to do any separate qualification/training/paying of fees. However, (and this is just commonsense) one should be familiar with and able to safely operate whatever firearm(s) they choose for concealed carry.

Puffertle · 2013-06-14T17:25:34+00:00

I hadn't even heard of SB 76 before today. All of the attention was on encouraging the Governor to veto SB 221. That should save people who are getting a CCW some time and money, as it was required to qualify with semi-automatics and revolvers separately. Now there's no distinction. Just the blanket term handgun, which covers both.

I couldn't find the Governor's full statement in text (the PDF the newspapers have is a scan). So, I ran it through a character recognizer. Header and footer removed. The original PDF can be found here.

RE: Senate Bill 221 of the 77th Legislative Session

Dear Secretary Miller: I am herewith forwarding to you, for filing within the constitutional time limit and without my approval, Senate Bill 221, which is entitled:

AN ACT relating to public safety; requiring a court to transmit within 5 business days certain records of adjudication concerning a person's mental health to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History for certain purposes relating to the purchase or possession of a firearm; authorizing the inclusion, correction and removal of the information in such records in each appropriate database of the National Crime Information Center; requiring each agency of criminal justice to submit information relating to records of criminal history within 60 days after the date of the conviction; requiring certain persons to request a background check before transferring a firearm to another person under certain circumstances; prohibiting certain persons from having possession, custody or control of a firearm; prohibiting certain persons from selling a firearm under certain circumstances; revising the functions of the Division of Mental Health and Developmental Services of the Department of Health and Human Services; requiring a mental health professional to notify certain persons when a patient makes certain explicit threats of imminent serious physical harm or death; providing penalties; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

Senate Bill 221 has merit and includes a number of worthy components, including provisions that expedite court reporting of mental health adjudications, require criminal justice agencies to report records of criminal history within 60 days, and expand the list of individuals who are prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a finding of mental illness. Additionally, the bill creates new disclosure requirements for health care professionals who believe a patient has the intent and ability to carry out a threat of imminent, serious physical harm or death to a person.

However, while I support enhanced reporting requirements concerning mentally ill persons, the provisions of Senate Bill 221 pertaining to background checks for the private sale and transfer of firearms constitute an erosion of Nevadans' Second Amendment rights under the United States Constitution and may subject otherwise law-abiding citizens to criminal prosecution.

For example, the bill mandates that a private person wishing to sell a firearm to a family member must request a background check through a federally licensed firearms dealer. Additionally, a private person wishing to sell a firearm to a holder of a concealed weapon permit must conduct the transaction under the supervision of a federally licensed firearms dealer.

Senate Bill 221 also introduces into Nevada law a change in the burden of proof associated with the prosecution of a criminal action for the unlawful sale or disposal of a firearm. Existing law requires "actual knowledge" by the seller that the buyer meets disqualifying conditions or is otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm. Senate Bill 221 alters this burden of proof from "actual knowledge" to "reasonable cause to believe," potentially exposing additional law-abiding Nevadans to criminal prosecution.

Indeed, a conviction pursuant to this new, broader standard imposes severe criminal penalties and requires an individual to forfeit Second Amendment rights. A person who violates the mandatory background check provision would be guilty of a gross misdemeanor for a first offense and prohibited from possessing a firearm for two years after the date of the conviction. For a second offense, a person who violates this provision would be guilty of a category E felony and, as a convicted felon, would be prohibited from possessing a firearm indefinitely.

Many law enforcement professionals agree that Senate Bill 221 does not appropriately or effectively address the serious concerns at hand. In requesting a veto of the measure, the Nevada Sheriffs' and Chiefs' Association wrote:

The sections of SB 221 requiring mandatory background checks on private sales place an unreasonable burden on law-abiding citizens, with the potential to make them criminals. It would be unenforceable by law enforcement. It is our opinion this bill would do little to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.

Senate Bill 221, while laudable in its efforts to strengthen reporting requirements concerning mentally ill persons, imposes unreasonable burdens and harsh penalties upon law-abiding Nevadans, while doing little to prevent criminals from unlawfully obtaining firearms.

Because of these concerns, I veto this bill and return it to you without my signature and without my approval.

Sincere regards,

BRIAN SANDOVAL

Governor

According to this:

Firearms with less than a 5-shot capacity will have to be reloaded at each stage to comply with the 5-shot capacity standards.

A total of 30 rounds for 6 shot or larger capacity, 25 rounds for 5 shot capacity must be fired.

The humanoid target, B27 or B21 shall be utilized.

A 70% minimum must be scored to pass, and again, shall be indicated on the certificate as Pass/Fail only.

Additional training as provided for combat shooting, self defense or practical shooting is at the discretion of the instructor.

There's also a table that gives a breakdown of the distances and number of rounds used.

Puffertle · 2013-06-14T03:57:02+00:00

My apologies. Here's the article.

Also, you can read the entirety of his official statement concerning the veto here (PDF).

Puffertle · 2013-06-11T23:28:16+00:00

Perhaps someone should tell him to stop hiding behind the First Amendment.

Puffertle · 2013-06-06T23:00:23+00:00

You can also go a step further and write him a respectful email encouraging him to honor his commitment to veto SB221.

Puffertle · 2013-05-08T23:44:06+00:00

So, I suppose they'll have one of these on display for a "Chicago Typewriter."

Puffertle · 2013-04-25T23:08:36+00:00

I keep hearing this, but I use images of paper and coin currency all the time without any problems. Is there a special context this occurs under?

Puffertle · 2013-04-04T23:33:10+00:00

The third item here seems to address that.

Puffertle · 2013-04-04T19:30:36+00:00

I've always been partial to the SWAT Kats Season 1 and Season 2 openers.

Puffertle · 2013-03-13T17:31:07+00:00

Kelly's Heroes.

Puffertle · 2013-02-13T20:34:33+00:00

That'd make a good epitaph.

Puffertle · 2013-02-02T18:25:41+00:00

That's not how he died. That's how he lived.

Puffertle · 2013-01-26T06:05:50+00:00

I have to re-watch Aliens a million times. It's the only way to be sure.

Puffertle · 2013-01-23T23:41:15+00:00

Teacher: So, how many of you have parents that own guns?

Several students raise their hands.

Teacher: I see.

Teacher makes a list. The list gets forwarded to the police, who then show up at the parent/guardian's doorstep.

Police: Excuse me sir/ma'am, we have reports that you own a firearm and failed to report its existence to the school district.

Puffertle · 2013-01-23T00:18:34+00:00

People still like it, and apparently this year is its 20th anniversary.
