      Do you name your weapons?

      I used to have a 1911 named for a chick my wife accused me of having an affair with, cuz she hates 45s. I know. How completely ludicrous is it that my wife, a fellow veteran, ended up married to a guy who thinks she’s completely wrong for not being addicting to our lord and savior John Moses...

      Armorer courses

      I’ve heard the same. Planning to reach out as they’re semi-local(ish). Trying to find a set of instructors who’ll travel to assemble a proposal for a global armorer course for small LEAs in the region that can’t afford to send folks to one class, then 3 months later to another class, then a...

      What is one thing that you were taught or overheard when younger that you repeated with faith as accurate but is not?

      ^^that. Used to work as an investigator for a coroner’s office. It’s truly remarkable what a combination of hydraulic shock, varying target densities (clothing, adipose, muscle, bone, etc), target orientation and motion at moment of impact (if discernible), and bullet velocity - down to scenes...

      Decertification of LEO.

      If you can find a bunch of folks with law degrees willing to work the hours we do for the comp package we get, I’ll happily eat crow. I believe post requires a diploma at minimum, but I could be wrong. I just sent in my transcripts showing BA conferred. Fact is, public service is, first and...

      Should you care? WNBA player arrested in Russia is a knee-er.

      From the article: “the anthems third verse, which highlights violence against African Americans”. The star spangled banner’s third verse, from Wikipedia: “And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country, should leave us no...

      Armorer courses

      Found a bunch of onesies and twosies, but nothing in the way of a complete package. Figure I’ll throw this out into the ether; many hands make light work, and many minds are usually better than one. Looking for an armorer course for glock, AR, and shotgun. I know, glock isn’t exactly fond of...

      Recommendations for FFL dealer in NOLA area to ship pistol I sold.

      Well it wasn’t when I did it. If it was, I’m pretty sure the post office and I both committed some kind of crime then… whoopsie. Even had the BR postmaster clear it.

      Recommendations for FFL dealer in NOLA area to ship pistol I sold.

      For future reference you can mail firearms directly to the receiving FFL via USPS - if your local post office aren’t lazy. They’ll just need you to show them it’s empty then lock the case in their presence, and show them something indicating where you’re mailing it is an FFL. I’ve first class...

      Shaving razor question

      Cruise the antique shops if he’s set on using a safety razor. The axiom is absolutely true: they don’t make stuff like they used to. Been using my grandfather’s late-40s safety razor the last 2 years and it’s been amazing. Old ones are built like tanks. Just order some quality blades in bulk off...

      How high

      In 2007 I found it interesting that in 10 years I’d gained zero economically - in fact I’d lost ground. Started driving in 1996 and regular gas was 98 cents a gallon. And I made minimum wage, 4.25 an hour. Ten years later I was in the mortgage industry as a closing coordinator and funding...

      31 Years Ago

      But did you have 20-some hours of annual mandatory briefings on sexual harassment, equal opportunity, sensitivity, woke-ness, and govt travel card responsibility?

      31 Years Ago

      Woulda been about 11, so I was probably sitting in my mom’s living room in a wooden rocking chair watching this revolutionary concept called CNN coverage of the first (or second, depending on perspective) gulf war while eating a hungry man frozen dinner on a folding tray table. Might’ve been...

      Remington settles for $73 Million

      Can’t wait til someone decides to sue Anheiser Busch, Jack Daniels, GM, and Ford over drunk driving crashes… Or like Denis Leary said, can we sue Dan Fogleberg for turning 1970s youth into granola-eating, bell-bottom-wearing hippies?

      How to sell a gun collection

      Ford’s specializes in consignments. Louisiana firearms are good people I’ve dealt with repeatedly. I mostly like Jim’s but they’re not exactly known as being about the consumer so much as about the profit margin… that said, most of the folks working there are very knowledgeable and would likely...

      NASCAR & Lets Go Brandon

      The noose fiasco, which turned out to be a garage door pull for a “little person” who was employed in that pit stall, but someone saw it without context and jumped to a butthurt conclusion? Yeah that turned out great too.

      Decertification of LEO.

      I recall my previous agency would dock your last pay if you jump ship right after the academy. I know several folks to whom exactly that happened. Course the “contract” states you’ll give them 2 years, and I think many agencies will typically credit an LEO their pre-academy time as well. My...

      Smart watches

      Garmin fenix 3 sapphire. Virtually impossible to scratch, color screen, no accidental touch function stuff, legit sunlight readable, activity / fitness monitoring, ABC function, GPS with track-back, waterproof, customizable faces, and generally 5-7 day battery. I’ve had it since 2015 and it’s...

      PDW Optics?

      My MRO bangs around in the unit day in day out and hits every range day they’ll let me join. Haven’t shut it off since it went in service in about March-ish of this year. Only thing I’d do different is find a way to eat the tears and spent the extra ~$200 for the MRO HD with the donut...
