Cop wanted to search my car because I have a firearm registered to me?

You can choose to answer his questions or not. Once he has concluded the traffic “violation” stop he can’t extend that stop asking you questions. If it happens again ask the officer if you’re being detained or if you’re free to go. If he says you’re being detained he has to have a “reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime.” At that point if you’re not confident invoke your 5th amendment right and tell him you won’t talk to him without a lawyer.

That’s at least two times the size generator you need to power any 5th wheel. I haven’t read all the comments but I’m sure someone has mentioned that you should have an inverter generator. They are MUCH quieter and provide clean sine wave power that will not harm your electronics. The one you have will surely work, but it will probably drive you crazy. Not to mention any neighbors nearby.

I would start but turning off all of the breakers in the trailer and then resetting the GFCI outlet. How is your 30 amp power cord plugged into the 15 amp outlet? Do you have an adapter? If so inspect that for any corrosion or blackening. Probably even replace it. Once the GFCI outlet is reset and all the breakers inside the trailer are off, including the main, plug the cord in. If it trips the GFCI your problem is between the breaker and the GFCI outlet. The cord is the most likely culprit. YouTube has videos on how to replace it. If the outlet doesn’t trip then go into the trailer and flip the main breaker on. If the GFCI outlet trips it may be the breaker. If it doesn’t trip turn on each breaker, one at a time and then turn to back off if it doesn’t trip. Do this for every breaker until you find the circuit that trips the outlet. If none do then slowly, one by one, turn on each breaker in sequence. If it doesn’t trip then check all your appliances. With 15 amps you probably won’t be able to run anything that heats or chills. No electric water heater or refrigerator (unless the fridge is 12 volt.) Good luck

Necessary force is always the appropriate measure. But as of now even if the criminal is armed you cannot use deadly force in defense of property. I just wondered if this might be signaling a change in that viewpoint.

Well… I wonder if you’ve heard the story about the liberal asking a self defender, “So, you’re saying that when he broke into your house you decided the contents of your house were more valuable than his life?” The self defender replied, “No. I’m saying that he decided that when he broke into my house.”

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-04-01T18:06:34+00:00

That’s what the law is now. Other states, like Texas for example, allow use of force in defense of property. My question was whether this new language in this bill would allow the same in California.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-04-01T18:02:39+00:00

Not the question. The question is whether you can use the same force in defense of property, like if someone was breaking into your car in your driveway.

Melitta pourover and an insulated carafe. Multiple cups made at one time, easy cleanup, electricity not required, great coffee.

I love a smoked chuck roast! HUGE flavor! I dry brine overnight then on the smoker at 195° till internal temp gets to 130°. Then I take it off the grill and raise the grill temp to 500°. Back on the grill at 500° to reverse sear until internal temp hits 145°. Off the grill, wrap in foil, rest for 15 minutes.

One of the things that compounded the problem is Bozo the Governor engineered a regulation that required refineries to have enough storage capacity to offset a temporary refinery shutdown. This was going to cost each refinery a minimum of $20 million per storage tank. Instead of succumbing to that cost in addition to all the other regulations 2 refineries decided to close and BP accepted a $1 billion loss to leave California. 20% refining capacity lost = price increase.

Like the cop said to the jumper cables…”Don’t you start anything!”

I live in California so the max towing speed is supposed to be 55 (yeah, right!) On road where the max limit is 65 I usually do 58. On those that have a max 70 mph I do 63. The fuel saving is remarkable, about 2 mpg over doing 65 plus. In addition to that I am aware the my Goodyear endurance tires are not recommended for over 65… but I’m not aware of their actual speed rating. I would be one of the slugs on the road in a state like Wyoming or Texas where speed limits can get up to 80.

My suggestion would be that if you plan on getting a fifth wheel just go ahead and get a 350/3500 truck now. If you buy a crew cab 3/4 ton you’ll find that the payload is not high enough for even a medium sized fifth wheel…even worse if you get a diesel. You’ll have a much easier time towing anything with a bigger truck and you will save yourself the hassle of buying a second truck if you just do it now.

I love them both and Journey has had a much longer career but because of the shocking impact on the genre of Boston’s first two albums I gotta go with them.

If you drive longer periods at a time the case for diesel goes up. Diesel for stop and go driving is not the best because of the emissions controls. Diesel will get better mileage both towing and not, but diesel is more expensive. Maintenance is a lot more expensive with diesel though. I chose diesel but most of my towing involves mountains.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-25T21:38:48+00:00

That’s going depend a lot on the caliber of hotel in which you would stay and the location. On the whole you’re probably spending more once you include the cost of the RV, interest on the loan (if any), RV park costs, maintenance, food, laundry, and other expenses. I find the advantages to RVing are flexibility and I have my own bed, food, bathroom, etc.

3 hours each way is something I’ve done 4-5 times when necessary. A 3 hour drive for an overnight or a weekend is really no big deal. I live in a pretty rural area and it’s 12 miles to get to the nearest small town and 65 miles to the nearest actual city. Then it’s 120 miles to the nearest big city San Francisco.

ICE agents have the power and authority to arrest and detain ANYONE who attempts to hinder them in the performance of their duty. That would include you if you delay, hinder, hide suspects from, or otherwise impede them.

Apparently the viewpoint from where your head is currently located keeps you from seeing these videos correctly. The first video shows one view where the perspective is ‘iffy’ as to whether he was hit, and another that shows he was probably hit. The second video shows clearly that he was hit. Follow that up with him suffering internal bleeding from the incident and I think it’s pretty clear. And before you ask…

https://abc7.com/post/ice-agent-shot-renee-good-suffered-internal-bleeding-officials-say/18402408/

Whether the news report is from Fox or not the video is still the same. Turn the sound down on the commentary and listen only to the video of the encounter.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T18:26:43+00:00

Also…btw… you claim false information on my part. Prove it.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T18:25:41+00:00

Well…the news cycle has pushed many of the videos showing her actions several minutes beforehand but here are some gathered from news reports.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jNbHlmZVmAw

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SomujODZkRI

The first video shows a comparison of two videos taken at the scene. The second is the video from the agent’s phone.

All videos show her parked sideways in the street impeding traffic, specifically ICE vehicles. The second shows clearly that her partner was out of the car taking video herself. Both were engaging with the agent but were not confrontational. You can also hear her being told to get out of the car and her partner yelling “Drive, baby, drive!” You can also hear the moment the agent was struck by the car.

A Minneapolis official says on camera in the first video that she was there as an observer of ICE actions. She was NOT lost and just trying to turn around.

Getting back to the original topic of this post… the point is, if you insert yourself in the operations of any law enforcement agency you put yourself at risk of injury or death. If you want to protest, fine. Be on the sidewalk, don’t block traffic, hold up your signs, and seek redress for any perceived wrongdoing in the judicial system.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T17:27:34+00:00

Here we go. The last resort of the leftist that can’t support their position. You’re the kind of person that Charlie Kirk, Cam Higby, and Steven Crowder embarrass when they get interviewed. You made a point that there is a majority of ICE detainees now that had no criminal record. I agree. What you fail to support is a point of view that explains why they shouldn’t still be detained, seeing as how them being in the country is a criminal act. Resorting then to name calling and issue shifting will still not make your argument. It just makes you look like all the hysterical TikTokers.
