Shoot it.

I worked there in the early `90’s when it was called Clubland. I started as a bar back and ended up working the doorman and then assistant manager.

A grinder from the shop at the end of the street. My best guess is the shop is 165 yards from my house.

Pro Tip: Yes, some towns have these additional requirements. However, they cannot deny you for not providing these items. They don’t tell you that, but failing to provide letters of reference is not a reason to disqualify an applicant under CT law.

You’re clearly an expert on polygraphs, which is why I’m surprised that you don’t know that selection process polygraphs are based solely on answers that the applicant gives on a pre-test. No one is bullied into answering one way or another.

Okay, I agree with you 100%. When you said double standard, I thought you were implying that officers aren’t allowed to partake in cannabis. I agree, alcohol is far worse than cannabis and aught to be legalised federally. However, that is not the case.

How’s it a double standard? Federal law is federal law. Whether you agree with the law or not, it must be followed. I would think the communities we serve would expect that much. I think the feds have compromised quite a bit by not clamping down on states that have legalised weed. At any time they could choose to enforce cannabis laws in those states, however they have not.

I did notice you eye rolling emoji. Why post here if you don’t want to hear peoples responses?

If you had any clue about law enforcement recruiting and the hiring process for COLEA certified agencies, you’d know that the polygraph is not only a requirement, but it is used as tool to further the selection process. The purpose of this is to place a truthful candidate at ease and also to heighten the anxiety of a candidate that might have something to hide. Based on the answers and the subjects reaction to questions, the examiner can use that response to dig deeper. Yeah, you are correct in that polygraphs are not always reliable and thus aren’t admissible in court. However, as a hiring tool, they are invaluable for rooting out unfit candidates. It’s not uncommon for polygraphs to to discover a history of Illegal activity, heavy drug use, illicit sex activities including beastiality and pedophelia, and ulterior motives for wanting the job.

Alcohol isn’t illegal on the federal level, cannabis is. States laws don’t trump federal laws. Carrying a firearm by anyone who uses illegal drugs is against federal law. See how that works?

Nick has a very good point. Just look at how many items you have plugged in that aren’t turned on or being used. Hairdryer, toaster, DVD player, computer, printer, lamps, phone chargers, clothes irons, etc. Regardless if you are not using them, they are drawing current. That toaster that you only use in the morning is using electricity all day. Anything plugged into a receptacle is drawing current no matter if it’s turned off or not in use. You’d be amazed at how much electricity we waste. I live next door in Connecticut where we have the second highest electricity rates in the country. I saved about $30 a month by unplugging things not in use. Of course this depends on the size of your home and the number of electronics or appliances in the house, but it may be worth your while to try it.

I’m a retired Trooper (not from NH) my agency uses a follicular test. Either way, any drug use, from a legal state or not, will be found out during the polygraph portion of the process. You also may be interested in knowing, that regardless if some states have legalised recreational marijuana use, it is still illegal for police officers.

And Connecticut is even higher. Connecticut has the second highest rates in the nation. I live less than 2 miles from the RI border. My friend lives just over the line in Gloucester, RI, his house is older than mine and about 700 sf larger than my house. Both homes are equipped with fairly new heating units. He pays about $100 less a month than I do. So, I get it, utility rates are up everywhere, but you’re neighbors have it way worse.

Regatta deli is the best in the city.

I remember him on WWRX in Providence on 103.7 FM before it was WEEI. I was in high school then and I graduated inn`88, so that was a long time ago. I always liked his shows.

I’m a diehard Democrat. I’m in complete support of further gun control legislation. I also support the 2A and I own a lot of guns. Expensive ones, not cheap ass Glocks or Kel-Tec’s. I also know how to use them very effectively. I even own several of the scary AR-15 rifles. The difference between gun owners on the left and the gun nuts on the right, is gun owners on the left don’t feel the need to arm ourselves to the hilt when we stop for our morning coffee. We’re also smart enough to know that no one in Washington is trying to take all our guns.

Don’t call me Dawg, brome.

He/she sent me that exact DM a few minutes ago. I just ignored it.

Go bowling.

In Massachusetts felons can still vote.

I pay about $185 a quarter.

And yet, you’re the only one that commented. You really think I give a shit about internet down votes? You’re a clown, dude!!

I’m 52. What part of sarcasm do you not understand? I’ll gladly explain it to you if you’d like. Seems everyone else understood it. So, instead of making snide remarks about my intelligence level or making a douche comment about my age, maybe you should take your own inventory.

I know. What made you think I didn’t realize that?
