      Raid on NOPD Officer.

      30 years ago a wave of criminal scandals plagued the NOPD, but I see nothing has changed. Thank God I was able to move far away. My place of birth has become a genuine hellhole, sad to say.

      Food near NO airport

      Heck, anywhere in Kenner or Metarie you go, there's gonna be great food! And usually not as pricey as in the French Quarter. Kenner Seafood on Loyola is great, and Metarie has Acme Oyster House, as well as bunch of other big-name places. But if you just stay on Loyola, you should be very happy...

      New Orleans guns stores

      That's exactly what they do. I just moved away from my life-long home parish of Ascension. That's where the criminals "buy" (read: Steal) their guns. From the law-abiding residents there. Then they run back into their NOLA rat-holes to hide. Since Hurricane Katrina, both the population and...

      BRFD Arson Chief shoots naked man.

      I don't know... sounds like there is some big piece of information missing to this story. This was a POST certified shooter, so I have to wonder if there is just more to it. I can't imagine he was in mortal fear of the naked guy. Maybe something more will come out later.

      CSI took half of my gun

      Knowing NOPD, You're lucky you didn't get arrested and all your firearms confiscated (I remember Katrina). My best advice: Cut your losses and move out of Orleans Parish as fast and as far as you can. If you expect any kind of justice there, I'm afraid you may be expecting too much.

      Kim Potter, ex-Minnesota officer, found guilty of manslaughter in death of Daunte Wright

      I have long thought that law enforcement should be adequately monitored because, as an earlier poster commented; there are those who act like they are the law, not just law enforcement. That said; I do believe that the majority of police are good guys doing the right thing consistently. However...

      Custody argument results in Texas man being shot to death

      You are correct about everything you have said. Every single inch of a person's property, to include the end of the driveway and all the acreage in your name is considered part of your sovereign property and you have every right to defend it with deadly force. I just bought my property here had...

      Custody argument results in Texas man being shot to death

      Actually, I live in Texas now. You definitely CAN be shot for simple trespassing here. But, I'm not sure that is what happened. The dead man is clearly being aggressive and threatening. He openly and directly challenged the homeowner and threatened him and the ex-wife after the man was armed and...

      Movies Kill People Ban All Movie Production

      I have to agree with Colion Noir in his recent YT post (I'm paraphrasing him here): if you bring a real gun to a movie set, it is still a real gun. It doesn't magically become a "prop gun". A prop gun would be a fake gun incapable of shooting anything. So the basic rules of gun safety still...

      Movies Kill People Ban All Movie Production

      I seriously doubt an anti-gun Hollywood wingnut like Alec Baldwin has ever learned the rules of gun safety like you and I did. Maybe heard it once, then immediately forgot that to study his lines for whatever flick he was acting in at the time.

      Movies Kill People Ban All Movie Production

      I don't know when you served, but when I served, we did use blanks for training with those crappy laser harnesses. And they only work if you point them at the other soldiers in the training environment. Later, we used Airsoft guns that actually landed projectiles on the OPFOR. They were...

      Movies Kill People Ban All Movie Production

      Somebody (not me) could make the argument that in some cases, only the real weapon will work for a particular camera shot. Fine, but to me; that is all trivial compared to the real problem: live ammunition certainly has no place on a movie set. Why was it there? Absolutely nothing good could...

      Movies Kill People Ban All Movie Production

      I just read an article about this tragedy and how it compares to standard movie set practices with real guns. Apparently, the guns are cleared and proven to be empty and safe before given to the actors. This is one of several safety procedures practiced before production even begins. The article...
