   This is exactly why a “waiting period” is a good idea when purchasing guns, XJ2000s and other WMDs.

   I went through the same thing yesterday at an FYE store (used to be Coconuts) when I was buying some DVDs. They demanded everything but a strip search.

   It had been 5 years since I had been there, but I had forgotten how they do things. Unless my memory fails me again, I won’t be back.

   Marg - It took him 6 years to finish Bailiff school because he was held back.

    DEFCON (defense readiness condition) Levels:

    DEFCON 5
    This is the condition used to designate normal peacetime military readiness. An upgrade in military preparedness is typically made by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and announced by the United States Secretary of Defense.

    DEFCON 4
    This refers to normal, increased intelligence and the heightening of national security measures.

    DEFCON 3
    This refers to an increase to force readiness above normal. Radio call signs used by American forces change to currently classified call signs.

    DEFCON 2
    This refers to a further increase in force readiness just below maximum readiness. The most notable time it was declared was during the Cuban Missile Crisis, although the declaration was limited to Strategic Air Command. It is not certain how many times this level of readiness has been reached.

    DEFCON 1
    This refers to maximum readiness. It is not certain whether this has ever been used, but it is reserved for imminent or ongoing attack on US military forces or US territory by a foreign military power.

    Six years of Bailiff School? Did he do that by correspondence?

    “Bull” Shannon of the TV Show, “Night Court,” proved that one really didn’t have to be schooled to do the job.

    I had a temporary assignment as a “bailiff” for 3 Army Courts-Martial when I worked for JAG officers at Americal Division HQ at Chu Lai, South Vietnam. I didn’t have anything to do with taking the defendants in and out of the court room; the MPs did that. I was a go-between with the witnesses and the interpreter when they were needed in the court room.

    You buy a cattle prod where they sell farm and ranch supplies.

    But, I guess that you would have to go to a gun shop to buy an elephant prod.

    “Extended Service Contract” is not part of the actual purchace of what you buy at a store. If you register the product with the company yourself, you will get a notice from them about extending the service contract near the end of their own service contract period.
