I have a 2015 Eco Boost convertible with the 200A package. It came with a spare.

As an Emergency Physician with a CCW (in Kalifornia no less) I did carry on each shift. I worked in a somewhat inner city hospital in a gang area with a very mixed patient population. My safety outweighed their rights to harm me. I also talked gun safety with a good number of patients - which holster is most comfortable for CCW, why Hornady Critical Defense ammo is better than Golden Saber, why a semi-auto is better than a revolver, why .45 is sexier than 9 mm, best places to get training, etc. It was amazing how many people had similar views.

I also have both camera and really like both of them. SL-1 lighter and will work fine. To me it is a toss up. Remember, 6D is not the best for action shots. You won't go wrong with either. Depending where you are at the track in relation to the horses the 100-400 is probably the best. You might want to put that lens on one camera and the 28-135 on the other. This way there is a quick switch without a lens exchange. I very frequently carry two cameras with my Black Rapid strap without a problem. Usually my Tamron 150-600 on one and then a wider angle (like the 16-300) on the other.

I don't know what your physical limitation is or your budget. With that said, you might want to consider either the Tamron 16-300 or the Sigma 18-300. I have the Tamron and it is my everyday walk around lens on my Canon 7D. The Sigma is also a great lens. You would not go wrong with either of them. Have a good trip.

I have the Tamron 16-300 on two 7D's all the time except if I need wider or longer. If traveling by car I can take as much as I want but if by plane I only take the Tamron. Does what I want it too.

I know. Very sad and getting worse.

Unfortunately in the C*******t State of California only the original XD's are on the "approved list". Would love to try the newer ones. Also, I have one of the original LC-9's with the exposed hammer. Would like the hammerless version but same reason as above.

It all depends on what you like, want, can comfortably wear and can afford. I have an LCR and did not like it for carry. I prefer a semi-auto. I have a LC9 for Pocket carry. I prefer for IWB carry my Springfield XD-9, XD-9 sub-compact or my S&W 1911 PD. The LC-9 and the XD's can be had for less than $500. There are good 1911's for less than your price point but the better ones will cost more. I also have a Glock 19 but do not use it for daily carry.

The practice of medicine is regulated by state by state regulations. Licensure is to an individual state and is not transferable unless relicense procedure is followed. As such, in most cases, prescriptions written in one state might or might not be accepted in another. This is especially true of controlled substances. Federal law dictates which drugs are listed as federally controlled substances and what guidelines must be followed on a national basis in order to prescribe these. Individual states, however, can place more restrictions on prescribing these drugs as is deemed necessary in that state. For example, some states require a separate drug registration by physicians to prescribe controlled drugs (WY, eg) whereas others, like CA, only require the physician to be licensed as a practitioner and have a DEA number. CA does require class II drugs have a maximum of 30 days and a physical Rx be written after face to face meeting with the doctor. This may be inconvenient for you, but as a physician, yes it is onerous to us as well, but it is a protection for both the patient and physician. There is a lot of Rx drug abuse going on and Rx drugs account for more deaths than illegal ones. I work for an HMO so I am not getting paid by the patient and so the added visit does not add to my income and most doctors would rather forego the added income for convenience, but not for safety.

As a physician I use both methods in California. At my regular work location I only use electronic but that only goes to our in system pharmacy. If I see a patient who is not a Kaiser member, or one who is a Kaiser member who has pharmacy coverage other than through Kaiser, I have to write a paper Rx. Let me tell you, paper is a pain. It is so much easier electronic. For meds that are weight based I don't have to calculate out the dosages. And for those who come in and need multiple prescriptions writing is painful. Electronic is just a few clicks. On a related but different topic, has anybody tried to get Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) for congestion over the counter. It is as if you are a criminal. You have to show proof of ID and get logged into a book and you cannot purchase any more than a certain amount in any given day. (of course you can go to multiple pharmacies). This is so you don't go home and make meth or something else. I guarantee that those who are using Sudafed as a base for other illegal drugs are not getting it at the local Wal-Mart and logging in like a dutiful law abiding citizen (sounds like other types of control, doesn't it?)

Sorry, but get over it and move on. These pictures are excellent! I should only be so lucky.

Does the third picture mean you include beer with the purchase:)?

He comes under the category of right wing religious extremist as mentioned in my post

Of course it is us white, black, Hispanic law abiding citizens without middle eastern sounding names who legally own and purchased guns that are responsible for yet another mass k*****g. Call it what it is - terrorism - whether domestic or foreign. Apparently these guys were US citizens. Maybe they even got the guns legally but could have gotten them anyway. However, IED's are self made and no law would have stopped them from making them or using them. These people (jihadist Muslim terrorists, gang bangers, radical rightist and l*****ts, etc) are hell bent on one thing, committing evil and destruction. Punishing law abiding people is not the answer. Banning guns is not the answer. Getting to the root of the problem whether it be religious zelotism, mental illness, gang mentality is a start. There is a reason that certain people and classes are stereotyped and that is because a good number of their populations fit the bill. Let's stop this politically correct BS. There is nothing wrong with profiling. If innocent, and if the profiling process is done appropriately, those profiled should have nothing to fear. Only the guilty need to worry. I have gone through so many background checks (profiles) so many times for Global Entry, firearm purchases, CCW permits, professional licenses that it would make you dizzy just thinking about. Never once did I worry about getting profiled. So let's look at where the problem comes from and stop it there.

I have an SL-1 and I love it. It fits me perfectly. I have a camera "GO BAG" (thank you Criminal Minds) with the camera and a bunch of STM lenses that I can just grab and go. Great for flights. That said, the pictures come out very good. Adequate ISO and speed. You will not regret the purchase but suggest you first handle the camera to see if it fits in your hand good. It is small. But that is the plus side of the camera.
