Orbital is right about Laser in Raleigh. I think so far its use has been limited to construction workzones. Last week a friend with NCSHP was in Raleigh getting trained/certified on the Pro Laser III so beware it will slowly be making its way to other parts of the State.
Last week when he was in town he called and told me they were out on the Rock Quarry Rd. overpass shooting Laser on I-40 traffic for practice. I was about 10 minutes away and hauled a$$ to get a few Laser hits in on my 8500 just for fun...wouldn't you know it, by the time I got to the area the rain started!!!! All 15-20 Troopers ran back to their cars for rain protection! I went to the next exit to turn around and by the time I got back they were driving back to the Training center. So I missed out!
Some things he quickly mentioned: Target only within 1000', shoot for front plate or lights, never shoot the windshield, and darker cars as opposed to light/metallic cars are harder to get. I already knew all that due to this great forum!!! :wink:
If I hear any more, I will be sure to post it here! Oh, anybody in the Northeast part of NC may want to look at getting some countermeasures in place...but you didn't here it from me!!! :wink:
