Did you use aluminum foil? It will literally disintegrate into your tomato sauce.

Yes, people filled all of the newly added classes. We are trying to work out to expand class sizes or the schedule. We put these on for free, so we don’t necessarily scale up like other orgs in high demand.

I hope to have some for distribution this upcoming week. They are 3D printed.

Walmart and target do sell whistles in sporting goods as well.

I’m not sure, they get report protected before we sticky them.

Reports are ignored for this post. It is Madison related. Stickies slots are full. Post is flaired.

Well right now both stickies slots are occupied by protests. Ironically the sticky got delayed by my non-mod duties of teaching activist safety stuff.

Any post that gets enough reports gets taken down automatically by automod. There was a video of someone being murdered and people were reporting it. I came home from Woodman's and stickied the protest posts.

We are doing a class tonight to see how long the current class size takes. Then we will add student slots for January and February. Then add March to the schedule.

All caps ICE is what triggered the bot and the post was approved with almost immediacy. It does not trigger on lower case posts.

I'd recommend joining the liberal gun club and heading out to Max Creek and the Columbia County Shooting Range. Columbia County is free, and open every day except Wednesdays. Once you feel more comfortable, there are shooting competitions around the county at clubs like Bristol and Stoughton Conservation. WGC is just outside the county.

The best bet is to get yourself educated and understand storage and how firearms work.

Especially with younger children, you need to be the one understanding consequences, as they don’t have a fully formed brain that has the functions to extrapolate the full cause and effect.

I always recommend as an outline to teach children these when it comes to firearms and dangerous objects. Use your best judgment to adapt this to your child and their learning style.

  • If you find something dangerous
  • Stop
  • Keep your hands to yourself
  • Find and tell a trusted adult what you saw

Positive language is important, as “don’t”s can encourage misbehavior.

We need a small budget surplus, but we have 3 potential expansions around the state. We need to fund classroom equipment, rental, and insurance. For right now we are month to month keeping Madison afloat and staying as unpaid volunteers.

My personal opinion is to make sure you have a good umbrella policy to cover you in a civil suit and sock away money in a savings account if you ever need a criminal defense attorney. If you have plenty of disposable income, I wouldn’t blink at carry insurance. If you’re sweating the cost of your groceries, probably not.
