Back on the OKC Pharmacist Shooting Case
BIGDANIEL replied to Outlaw__Rebel's topic in General Discussion
I share your frustration Hippie. I hear it all the time. Imagine the frustration from arresting the same person over and over again because he keeps walking on technicalities allowed by laws created and passed by politicians we law abiding citizens hired. Talk about getting your blood boiling. Like Irish said, it's the only system we have. Taking the law into our own hands isn't the way to change things. -

I agree 100% with you Hippie. If you decide to take part in a crime involving a deadly weapon you run the risk of not walking away alive. But, as Outlaw pointed out, the guy outside by the car was apparently involved in the robbery too, so using logic from part of your post, had the employee known he was involved he would've been justified, in some eyes, in shooting him too. And he can't articulate that he feared for his safety after returning from chasing the gunman because of the video tape. No tape and he walks away. Any hack of a defense attorney could've gotten him out of any charges. But anyone watching that tape can see he's no longer in fear of great bodily harm to himself or the others in the store. And it's situations like this that Anti 2nd Amendment groups love to see. It fuels their argument. We can show all day that a bad guy was killed by an armed citizen exercising his 2nd Amendment rights but they win in the end because of this guys bone head emotional reaction. If you're going to carry a gun for protection, legally, take more than the necessary classes to learn when, where, and how to carry it. Learn when to use it. Learn when not to use it. And know the consequences for using it illegally. I don't want to see the 2nd Amendment get destroyed because of idiots like this. -
FPU!!!!

Smoked wings. Ranch dressing, spicy ranch dressing, and blu cheese dressing. Pulled pork with a dry rub with just a slight kick. Veggies for the girls in the group.

Lol I'll add some too. I'll put up some sauce recipes too.

The bacon helps keep it moist. I've used regular and thick cut. They both work fine. I do my ribs for about 4 1/2 hours on a rib rack, spraying them with an apple juice mix every hour, then I take them off the rack and put on a sauce and grill for the last hour hitting them with sauce again in the last 30 minutes. I typically use hickory wood chips for my smoke, a yellow mustard base, and a homemade rub with some heat to it. They turn out just short of falling of the bone. Throw up a few pics Animal.

Looks good. I haven't tried stuffed jalapenos yet. Any trick to them?
-
Packer? Where are those after pics and the after smoke story?? I want to see how your brisket turned out.

I'm a firm believer in the saying, "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6." But, like Rock said, "hero to zero in the blink of an eye." And it's a shame too. That guy may have been a stand up guy in the community. That kid may have been a real shit head. But you can't let your emotions get the best of you and walk away clean in situations like that. -
Good luck to you Joe. See you around. Thanks for your service!!

LOL Brothers in Blue are always welcome. Speaking of which, there's a thread in here I've been waiting to see you throw your $0.02 worth on. The pharmacy shooting thread.

You're right. When charging accomplices it doesn't matter who had a gun or who got shot. However it does matter in the case of the employee who shot an unarmed person after the reasonable fear of a threat was gone. Bottom line is you can't shoot someone because you're mad. "I was mad at his buddy for shooting at me" is not a viable excuse. -
Looks good. One of the things I've noticed while surfing smoker recipes and forums is that the one hard rule is, "If you can think it, TRY IT." I'm going to try my hand at making my own rubs and sauces and see how long it takes to perfect it........or just completely destroy my intestines and ass trying to perfect it. Now I don't use mustard on pork loins. For those I use brown sugar and wrap it in bacon then smoke it fat cap up until it reaches an internal temp of 143 then pull it, tent it, and let it rest for 30 minutes. They come out moist and juicy every time. I have brined (no clue of the past tense for brine) one before. It turned out ok but I prefer wrapping it in bacon.

How often will you need to get up and check the temp though? I haven't done any heavy smoking yet. If it's a long smoke I'll use wood chunks and if it's a shorter 2-3 hour smoke I'll use wood chips. If you get a chance try Jack Daniels Barrel Chips. They'll give you a nice smoke ring and you'll be able to taste it in what ever meat you do. As a matter of fact you'll get a real strong whiff of whiskey as they soak. They also make wine barrel chunks/chips. Haven't used these yet but their on my list. So far all 3 of my boston butts I've used a dry rub (Dizzy Pig) on. My ribs though I use a yellow mustard base then a dry rub. My wife was passing through Memphis a few weeks ago on a layover and picked me up some Corkys and The Neeleys BBQ rubs. They're up next to use. Have you ever used Hungarian Paprika? I keep running across it in recipes but I haven't used it yet. Mainly because I can't seem to find it anywhere expect online. I've heard it's got some kick to it.

I don't like mine crispy. And can I get three eggs over easy with a side of wheat toast?

The suspect on the ground did not display a gun on camera. He grabbed gloves from his pants. The gunman left the scene after the employee shot back. So unless the suspect on the ground pulled out a weapon and threatened the employee, he executed an unarmed person. It doesn't matter if he's a veteran or not. If anything him being a veteran means he knows better. He's been trained on shoot no shoot scenarios. -
I'm having flashbacks of Fire Marshall Bill right now. Thank you for the fire tip. I will adjust my smoking times to make sure I don't leave the oven on while not at home or asleep. And thanks on the table. I was actually pretty surprised I was able to pull it off. Although if you look closely you'll see I forgot a little important piece of hardware. A handle for the drawer. I didn't think of it until I closed the drawer and couldn't get it back open. lol

First of all, if you can't think rationally while wielding a gun you have no business owning a gun. I support the 2nd Amendment 100%. I don't support any idiot off the street being able to walk in and buy a gun without stronger safety measures being in place. Secondly, in that video you posted it's obvious he was pissed. Two masked robbers run into his store and threaten him and his coworkers with a gun. But break down the video. Two masked suspects enter - one points a gun at the three employees while the second pulls gloves from his pants then moves to the right side of the gunman - the employee shoots at the two suspects (based on the suspects reactions) - the gloved suspect falls to the floor - the gunman exits the building - the employee gives chase then returns back inside within 30 seconds walks past the suspect on the floor to the back corner of his work area - the employee then walks out to the suspect on the floor and points his gun at the suspect and shoots him - the employee then walks back to the back corner and sets his gun down on the counter - the employee then walks over and picks up the phone to presumably call the police. The suspect on the floor never displayed a weapon. The employee wasn't concerned about the suspect on the floor when he came back into the store and walked to the back corner. The employee walked over to the suspect, shot him, walked back over to put his gun down, and then called police. He was thinking rationally. And the point to shooting someone, should it come to that, is to stop the threat. It's never to kill. Once the threat has ended the level of "deadly force" ends with it. The suspect on the floor never posed a "use of deadly force" threat to the employee. He should be sentenced to prison. -
LOL Does it matter that it's a convection oven?

Large BGE and the table I made. I adjusted the plans a bit so I could have a drawer and four lockable casters as well as add some height to the work top. I added a cheap utensil rack for organization. I can do 6 half racks of baby back ribs, 2 boston butts, 2 beer can chickens, 1 turkey (haven't done it yet), 8 bone in ribeyes, or 3 pork loins on the single grate. I have a second grate that stacks allowing for more room if needed. The first piece of equipment to be added to the table.

My Large BGE was $700. I built my own table for $200. You can buy a table for it but you'll double the price. You can find the plans for the table online for free. BGE's come with a lifetime warranty too. I have neighbors who use off-set smokers and I found that they needed to go out every hour or so to add more charcoal. I smoked 2 boston butts for 12 hours on one load of lump charcoal. I did those over night. Put my probe in and waited for the alarm to go off when it reached the correct internal temp. Pulled them off, tented them in foil, and put them in the oven at 170 while I went to church. When I got home I grabbed a hold of the bone, nothing else, and the meat just slid right off. The only thing I haven't tried yet is "cold smoking" which is done at a temp below 100. I'm supposed to be able to "cold smoke" cheese. I may try it later this summer. I was all set to buy a $200-$300 smoker for my first one but after doing some research I figured smoking was a hobby I could enjoy for pretty much ever so why not get a smoker I could use for everything, forever. If you get a chance, go to a sanctioned BBQ contest. You'll see some BGE's being used. Talk to the guys using them.

Check out the Big Green Egg forums. You'll find some killer recipes on there. Johnson - A large BGE will easily feed a family of 4-5. They offer a small, medium, and XL too.

Man you guys need to invest in a Big Green Egg. I bought a Large BGE in January. My first time smoking or cooking with charcoal. Once I get the internal temp set I can walk away and forget about it. I've smoked pork loins, boston butts, beer can chickens, chicken quarters, wings, and chili. And I've cooked rib eyes with a mushroom cognac sauce, asparagus, pizza, cobbler, and chocolate chip cookies on it. Everything, with the exception of one batch of wings, has turned out perfect. Can we get a Staffer to add a smoking board? I've got tons of recipes and things I've learned over the past few months but am always looking to read and learn more. I'll start taking before and after pics of my meat and posting them up too.
