We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

The name of the guy to look out for is Padgett:
http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=1675&dept_id=18171&newsid=14741008&PAG=461&rfi=9
IIRC, he pulled strings and got off the hook. A quick look at the town website shows he is still the chief.
Another story. Apparently not cooperating is enough to get arrested.:
I was taking pictures of trains. Since I "cooperated" I guess I managed to not get arrested. After he told me I wasn't breaking any laws, he said he could take my camera and make me get a lawyer to get it back. He also asked me why I'm not taking pictures in Virginia after looking at my ID. It was real ugly, and I didn't fight it at the time because I was with a family member and I didn't really know my rights at the time, anyway.
If you guys run across this clown while carrying, good luck.

Decided to head west and OC in Chester county tonite. Shopping in Circuit City off 202 & 252 and dinner in Lotus Restaurant nearby with my wife and youngest son. No issues.
Later walked with my wife and dog on the Radnor trail - stopped a couple times to talk to a few folks we knew - no issues.

I don't think that my 15 year old youngest son thinks of himself as a baby.
He shoots IDPA with a Glock 17 that will become his when he turns 18 :lol:

More uneventful OC'ing yesterday and today.....
Dinner at Meas Grill in Gateway shopping center
Shopping at
Trader Joe's in the same center
Barnes & Noble off Rt 202
Leslie's pool supply on Rt 30
Whole Foods on Rt 30
Dinner in Mrs. Marty's in Broomall
and the usual walking of the dog around Wayne.....
I think that over the past couple of months, my wife has finally come to realize that OC'ing is a non-event... I don't even get her trademark raised eyebrow of disapproval when I OC now.

Another OC'ing day without any problems....
No issues at Wachovia ATM, Sunoco gas station or either time at Braxton's Pets (if I could learn to read a shopping list, I'd only have to go there once)
While checking out of Genaurdi's in St. Davids, one of the baggers noticed my 1911 and asked me what kind of gun it was. Had a nice conversation comparing the SIG that he carries with my Kimber - discussed magazine capacity differences and ammo choices (9mm in SIG vs .45 in my 1911).
Just another fine (but hot) day OC'ing in shorts & flip flops.

Good OC day today!
Went to the DMV in Frazer with my 16 year old daughter to get her driving permit (more grey hairs coming...) Ran into a recent Michigan transplant who noticed the S&W revolver on my hip and my S&W IDPA shirt. Turns out he's a Beretta and CZ guy interested in IDPA. We spent the 2 hours waiting discussing PA firearms law, OC'ing, club locations for IPSC and IDPA and how to get his LTCF in PA.
No issues OC'ing at Great American Pub in Wayne, or at Mino in Frazer or walking the dog around Wayne.

Had an appointment in filthadelphia today. So I had the chance to OC in the suburbs.
On the way back took last exit on the extension before the turnpike. "norristown"?
Ruby Tuesdays. Norristown area.
5:00 pm. Hadn't eaten all day, had to refuel myself for the ride home. Plus it killed some rush-hour traffic time.
Place was busy, 2 out of 5 cars in lot were NJ. No issues. Caught one fellow staring.

Was sporting the dressier Milt Sparks cordovan OWB and Ted Blocker belt rather than my usual SERPA.
Thurs. 8/16

PA Patriot, Let me know next time you're in town and if I'm in town we can get together. My job keeps me on the road 4-5 days a week. Sat & Sun are are the most reliable for me to be in town.
My wife used to work in the Cardiology and CT Surgery units at CHOP back in the 80's - she taught the fellows on their rotations and was on the team that got CHOP certified to do heart transplants back in the days whan Rashkind was head of cardiology and Norwood was head of CT surgery. She still has the prototype cardiac balloons, plugs and stents from when she worked research there.

Thanks! That's very cool your wife worked w/Norwood. My son is hypoplastic-left (which you probably already know what that is)
The series of surgeries they pioneered in the 80's (The Norwood, the bi-irectional Glenn and the Fontan) is why my son is still with us.
Been a long 3+ years but he's doing great now, he's one of CHOP's poster kids

My wife was sitting here as I read the message. She wants to know who your surgeon was if that's OK.
