Jason definitely respects your .50. In fact we had a specific discussion about that very weapon.

Maybe there is a way to motivate rear bumper production

Probably barely any "load" at all. Car in neutral but they're too lazy to push.

Agreed. No appreciable load, no real safety hazard.

It was not a question of load, it was a question of technique. My apologies for bringing it up.

No apology necessary. The photo is misleading. I was "jogging" Todd's FJ back very slowly and it was "rolling", for the most part with slack in the line, not under any load. Under any other circumstances and even here, you're quite correct in that it's a bad habit to get in to when I did it the way I did.

There was a slight gradient that I pulled it over (gently) but that was 20 feet before that photo was taken. We used the winch just to nudge it up. Again, you're right in that I showed bad form. Under the circumstances, it wasn't a safety issue, but it's a bad example of "technique" to post.

Note the red rectangle because it marks another mod/addition to the FJ.

WORK TOOL


It's important to have tools handy. In this case, a multi-purpose tool for off-road conditions.


An axe for cutting down trees, a pick function for prying loose rocks that get in my way.


And a cover when it's not in actual use -- safety first.

BTW, these things are not classified as weapons in California? The advertising sure says they are.

The California Penal Code defines deadly weapons under PC 12020:

12020. (a) Any person in this state who does any of the following
is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year
or in the state prison: (felony/misdemeanor = "wabbler")
(1) Manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the
state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives,
lends, or possesses any:
-cane gun
-wallet gun
-undetectable firearm
-any firearm which is not immediately recognizable as a
firearm
-camouflaging firearm container
-ammunition which contains or consists of any flechette dart
-bullet containing or carrying an explosive agent,
-ballistic knife (knife shot from a weapon)
-multiburst trigger activator
-nunchaku
-short-barreled shotgun
-short-barreled rifle
-metal knuckles
-belt buckle knife
-leaded cane
-zip gun
-shuriken
-any unconventional pistol,
-any lipstick case knife
-cane sword
-shobi-zue
-air gauge knife

-metal military practice handgrenade or metal replica handgrenade
-any instrument or weapon of the kind commonly known as a blackjack, slungshot, billy, sandclub, sap, or sandbag.
(2) Commencing January 1, 2000, manufactures or causes to be
manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or

(3) Carries concealed upon his or her person any explosive
substance, other than fixed ammunition.
(4) Carries concealed upon his or her person any dirk or dagger.

Then there are exemptions for people who train martial arts having nunchuks, who make movies for having explosive squibs, etc.

But that's it. If it's not prohibited, it's legal. A sword or rapier is not illegal to carry and neither is an axe.

Not yet.

I worked at the Orange County, California DA's Office as recently as March of this year and know that it's not classified by the Penal Code as a deadly weapon.

Is it a deadly weapon? I guess you could construe it as such. I construe it as a 4x4 work tool. I even keep an axe strapped to the roof rack of my FJ and a crowbar in the back as work tools. While not quite "a Talon", they'd give you a nasty bruise if used as a weapon -- but they're not classified as such by the California Penal Code.

An axe handle could be construed as a "billy club" by the Penal Code and would thus be a crime to posess. If you put an axe head on it, it's cool. The same is true of a "pick/axe head".

I didn't write the laws.

I have never heard such a crock in my life. Guys let's put 2 and 2 together. I will give you some hints:







We Dads here can immediately conclude from these pictures that as a father, Larry is in a severely high-stress situation. Clearly more stressful than just about any other Dad here. There is only one intended use for the "multi-purpose tool for off-road conditions", and as Fathers we must support any actions that poor Larry must perform with it if deemed neccessary.

However I know what is already in his "glove box" up in front of the steering wheel. So perhaps the "multi-purpose tool for off-road conditions" is to make it look like an accidental bear mauling, or perhaps to chop off limbs to aid in body disposal.

I'd like to ask Uphill about the planned tactical scenario when the (ahem) "multi-purpose tool for off-road conditions" is to be used. But I would not want to watch. And I hope that it would be quick, without slowly drawn-out suffering.
