    "I fully intend to cooperate but I wish to remain silent until my lawyer is present"

    It's simple: Never talk to the police without an attorney. Ever. I don't care if you are guilty or innocent. It simply cannot help you, but it can harm you greatly. Of course, it is important to define "talk." Exchanging pleasantries is not talking. Conversing with a police officer during a...

    Groupon: Merchants are really offering 75% off

    All the information I can find so far suggests that the merchant receives 50% regardless of redemption rate, less CC processing fees, separated into three payments made over the duration of the deal.

    Groupon: Merchants are really offering 75% off

    Plus, local retailers know how to upsell. Using your hypothetical, let's say the average customer spends $20. Take away the the $10 discount, and add in the 25% of the discount that the retailer gets back from Groupon, and the retailer just brought in $12.50 for a sale valued at $20. That's...

    M1 Garand

    I bought a service grade Garand from the CMP about 3 years ago. It's a lot of fun to shoot. You won't regret buying it.

    Is Law school worth it? (lawyers please)

    I'm not an attorney yet, but I am a 2L at a T1 law school. Here are my thoughts. If you know that you want to be an attorney, go to law school and don't let anyone talk you out of it because the market is saturated and jobs are hard to find. But if you're on the fence about being a lawyer, or...

    A question about getting pulled over.

    NEVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH! The only proper response to a search request is to politely decline: "Officer, I do not consent to a search of my car or my person, but I will comply with any lawful orders." Think about it. You have nothing to gain by consenting. If the officer has probable cause to...

    YAGunT: What's your concealed carry?

    :thumbsup: I have two CCW guns: A full-size 1911 and a Walther PPK. When I need to be discrete, I pocket carry the PPK. It is a fantastic gun.

    Girl kills pregnant mother and child is now suing the family of the people she killed

    Assuming everything in the article is true, this is ridiculous. It wouldn't be as bad if this was a counterclaim, since the way our legal system is setup, all claims and counterclaims must be made before the trial begins, otherwise plaintiffs and defendants are bared from raising them forever...

    what is your a/c set at?

    77F. If I set it any higher, the fans on my computer will adjust to their highest speed, and the noise is annoying.

    Woman 2, thugs 0, after home invasion

    The two are not mutually exclusive. Even in states with felony murder provisions, a victim can still be charged if the prosecutor has a reason for it (e.g., excessive force used in self-defense that results in death).

    why is it fun plinking w/.22 handgun @ range?

    Cheap ammo, great for practicing shooting technique, and perfect for introducing new shooters to handguns.

    Suit advice?

    While the number of alterations isn't likely to be a factor here, the loss of 30 lbs is probably going to prohibit obtaining a proper fit through alterations. If I were your friend, I'd buy a new suit.

    Screen Protectors - Iphone4

    I have the BoxWave ClearTouch installed on my iPhone 4. It is very clear (I can't see it unless I go out of my way to find an edge), fits great, and doesn't seem to affect the screen sensitivity or the feel of the screen. I've been using BoxWave screen protectors for years on my phones and they...
