    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    I watched most of the video and didn't see the female officer pointing her gun at anyone, looked to me like she was at the low ready, not up on her sights. This probably won't give anyone here who thinks this is inappropriate the warm and fuzzies. I admit I didn't watch all 17 minutes of it...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    I have no problem with open carrying as I stated in previous posts in this thread. I would only add that though we do have certain rights, it doesn't always mean that they are the best way to get our point across. Just because we can doesn't mean we should. For example- I can legally walk...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    I would say that depending on the circumstance (all of which we do not know) they could have had reasonable suspicion to detain him. Reasonable suspicion is evaluated using the reasonable person or reasonable officer standard, in which said person in the same circumstances could reasonably...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    Wrong answer marduk185, Police require reasonable suspicion to stop and detain someone, that is a standard below probable cause. A simple google search would answer that quickly and concisely. However, based on your previous posts and considering additional evidence such as your cleverly...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Safford/Morenci AZ?

    I had a deer hunt there (unit 27) last year, went north of Morenci and hunted deep off the Juan Miller road to the east (beautiful area) off the Blue river. The drive up there is beautiful, take the 191 north out of town. Talked with a rancher way back there who said they are being over run with...

    Welcome to MD

    Even as a cop, I am not inclined to answer questions of a personal nature to anyone, LEO or not. My kid's pediatrician asked about guns and that irritated me. In Az, if asked, you must declare if you have a firearm. If you aren't asked then I suggest no one volunteer the information. It is not...

    any fun .22 games?

    My 5 year old and I like to play cards- I take several playing cards and staple them to a post. Then we challenge each other to shoot either the center figure or shape, or the number on the corner. I was pretty proud of my son, he shot a 4 shot group that was all inside the body of the king of...

    Back issues, any advice?

    Thanks for the replies guys. Right now it is just muscular pain localized to my right lower back, along the spine. Twisting kills and bending over quickly takes my breath away. I am tall so getting in and out of my patrol car involves bending my head to the side while standing- that is a...

    Back issues, any advice?

    So my back has been giving me fits lately, muscle spasms and cramps that last a couple days. Background is that when I was much younger and working in an ER I hurt it picking up (of all things) a little 90lb old lady from a wheelchair to a bed. Over the years it hadn't bugged me often, but over...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    Consent contacts are where an officer really shows his value. There are many times I "want" to talk to someone but may not have the right to force them to stop and talk to me (detain). This is were you make a consent contact. Most people will talk to you, even if they are carrying drugs, have...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    Officers receive training in Constitutional law, I am trying to remember how many hours that class was in my academy. The reality is that most officers are sucked into the mentality that IF someone calls in a complaint, they HAVE to investigate it. When I used to be on patrol I would routinely...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Getting back into handguns; realistic/good accuracy at distance question

    Group size will differ based on how you are shooting. If you want to shoot bullseye matches, shooting tight groups is important. If you are shooting to train for self defense scenarios, grouping within a certain target area are sufficient. When I am instructing and my officers are shooting tight...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Getting back into handguns; realistic/good accuracy at distance question

    I preach the importance of dry fire practice to every officer I train. Dry firing- working on the fudamentals of trigger control and sight alignment- is a great way to shrink your group size. I don't measure groups for handgun shooting, but my expectation for myself is to keep all my rounds...

    Camo Technique with Pics

    I have done this but have used the checkered drywall joint tape, cut into shapes using scissors. A little more time consuming but leaves a really cool pattern

    Kestrel's Barometric pressure, do you need to "true" it each day of use?

    That was the explaination I needed and now it makes sense. I appreciate it

    Kestrel's Barometric pressure, do you need to "true" it each day of use?

    I have read the answers here a couple times...maybe I am too stupid to understand. Could someone explain why I should not imput my altitude into my kestrel? As I understand it (admitedly ignorant here) I want the measurement at my current location, right? So why shouldn't I put my current...
