yes, i do. okay. this is a prop nonfiring weapon. i m going to be keeping it pointed in a safe direction during the demonstration. okay. with the weapon like the one they were using on set, the more historical weapons, they have a built-in clearing rod, which is right in here. okay. that rod gets pushed from the front to the back of the weapon, and you can see let me open the port here. you can see the rod extend past. that tells me there is nothing in that particular chamber. you would advance to the next chamber, repeat the process with the actor so they verify that each of the six cylinders are clear and empty on the weapon. in addition to that, you would take a rod, you would insert the rod down the barrel. this weapon has to have a plug barrel so i cannot go all the way through. but what you would want to see is the rod extending through
into the chamber of the barrel. once that s done, the weapon is considered safe, cleerkar, and empty, and you would be able to pass that weapon to the actor. with a revolver, it s a little bit easier. once again, this is a prop, nonfiring weapon. yeah. you d be able to open the chamber and do a visual inspection of the chamber, one by one. you would then also do a rod check, putting the rod through, making sure you could see the rod coming through the barrel without any debris or any build-up or foreign objects on it. now, that is the way that it s supposed to happen, and i thank you for that demonstration. it makes a lot of it more clear, what should have happened. but is that what always happens? i mean, we understand that sometimes safety precautions are lax. you can t compromise on safety, whether you re on a high budget set or a low budget set. there s no compromise for
shinseki, kathleen sebelius scale time-released in a matter of months he will probably leave to spend more time with his family after the president and his team parachute in to fix the problems he should have fixed a long time ago. here s a question for you, has president obama perfected the art of the nonfiring firing? clean up your mess and you can leave when the heat dies down? bill, we should know in a few months when the general likely checks out. i want to begin with the 19-year-old who faces the possibility of a life sentence for allegedly baking and selling pot brownies. he is jacob lavoro and had agreed but his father is here instead along with his attorney. thanks for joining us. why didn t your son show up and come for the interview? s . frankly, he s exhausted. he s never done anything like this before. never had all that limelight on
veterans administration. i understand why you and many others think the president should have fired shinseki today. maybe the president did something we all missed. maybe he actually did fire shinseshin kathleen sebelius style. in a matter of months shinseki will probably leave to spend more time with his family after the president and his team parachute in to fix the problems he should have fixed a long time ago. here s the question. has president obama perfected the art of the nonfiring firing? clean up your mess and leave when the heat dies down. bill, we should know in a few monts when the general likely checks out. i want to begin with the 19 -year-old who faces the possibility of a life sentence for allegedly baking and selling pot brownies. he is jacob lavoro. he agreed to join us tonight but instead his father, joe, is here along with his attorney, jack holmes. thank you both for joining us. so why didn t your son show up? why didn t he come for the
military. the president is not interested in reigniting the debate about afghanistan. he is invested in this strategy. this is the strategy they are not going to do another review at this point until the end of the year. they want to see how kandahar goes. they re not yes, they have delayed this offensive, and it is not in what they had planned on early on. yes, marjah, as general mcchrystal called it, a bleeding ulcer in that article, which is probably the two most important words as far as the war in afghanistan is going that were written in that piece when you think about that aspect of this. and so the president knows that if he does fire mcchrystal, it is going to give opponents of the strategy an opening to launch this debate again. it s not something they are interested in having. the firing or nonfiring of mcchrystal doesn t address the issue that, frankly, this rolling stone article laid bare for the world to see which is what i think they used this term in the article
