There will be a lots of opportunities in the mobile charger market. Now, when someone runs out of gas, it takes a simply gas can to get them moving again, anyone can help out at little cost. When someone runs out of juice in an EV, right now the Tow Truck has to take them to a charging station. I could see a market for some sort of mobile charger mounted in a truck (but maybe not, might still be cheaper and quicker to simply tow the car away).

It is standard practice. Charge as much as you can possibly get away with and plea bargain down from there.

Intent matters, she shouldn't get off scott free but an outcome that leads to many hours of community service with the charges expunged afterword would be appropriate. As far as the expulsion goes, again, 10 days suspended would be more appropriate if this student hadn't ever caused trouble before but the trend toward "zero tolerance" is loved by school administrators because it removes from them any responsibility.

Defense in depth.

I have lights on timers, light sensors, motion activated. I close and lock my doors at night. I have a small dog that can bark up a storm. I have a fence around my back yard. I have an alarm system that is monitored. If all that isn't a deterrent or one of those fail, I have a gun in a similar type safe mentioned above to fall back on as a last resort but hope it never comes to that.

Complete BS. You know when an article starts out bashing an organization in the headline (NRA), it is a just a hit piece.

Criminals get guns for two reasons, self defense from other criminals and to have power over their prey. In the US they avoid occupied homes in general and really avoid people who are known to be armed because it is like asking to get shot.

Do they expect murderers to refrain from loading those last three rounds?

NO. The point is to harass gun owners to the point they give up being gun owners or get caught in some legal trouble after inadvertently running afoul of the law. Once the number of gun owners shrinks some more they wait for the next high profile crime committed with a "military grade caliber" and then ban anything ove .38 caliber and limit magazine capacity to 5 rounds. Rinse and repeat.

Without GPS, how do they know when you leave the state? And with GPS isn't that a serious privacy issue?

Here in Washington State, they are planning a $100 / year fee for these types of vehicles.

Similar issue with a gas tax. If you drive out of state, you could buy gas out of state. The government wants it's money.

WHERE CAN THE MATTER BE Oh, dear, where can the matter be When it's converted to energy? There is a slight loss of parity. Johnny's so long at the fair.
