    Duty to Protect?

    Yes, ours now does. Carbines, yes, up-armor, PASGT helmet? Not unless you pay for it yourself.

    Duty to Protect?

    It is hard to predict your reactions. I just hoped I wouldn't freeze up. When my first time came, it was a surprise with an armed suspect popping out of a building. I didn't freeze, I saw the gun first and issued commands and thus alerted the other three cops who were there, while I drew as...

    GO GET 'EM...Remington 700s at Walmart for $297

    Where in OR, if you don't mind? I'm in Portland tomorrow and hoping to find one. I'm guessing you were more toward Hermiston/Pendleton.

    New product reveal pending, are you in?

    "Leg opener"... Is that what it is?! [emoji38] [emoji39]

    New product reveal pending, are you in?

    Ha! Just out of appreciation for this insane run, I am also in for one (1). This is hilarious. Who says crowdfunding wouldn't work for precision shooting products? Could have practically funded a production run for an unknown product on pre-orders, had they chosen to!

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR 3-21, swfa 5-20, or a comparable Vortex

    I've got a new Bushnell DMR 3.5-21x50 G2DMR still in the box if you want it for $1000 shipped....I sold the project it was going to go on, so I have no need for it and it is just sitting on the shelf.

    Hunting & Fishing National Geographic goes "yellow journalism" again

    I've never seen extensive fragmentation from any bullets I've used for hunting. I generally use heavier bullets with no exposed lead and controlled expansion, or "ballistic tip" types. Neither has ever resulted in much fragmentation into the meat. I do restrict my shots to those that are...

    Hunting & Fishing National Geographic goes "yellow journalism" again

    Get a load of this vacuous sensationalism. Obviously, this hack has little to no concept of bullets or ballistics. Many Bald Eagles Are Victims of Lead Poisoning, But This One Got Intensive Care

    See what your county got from the military

    That being said, holy crap. I want some free NVG's, illuminator, and 7.62 rifles. Why not sell this stuff on the cheap to the (U.S-only) surplus market? I'd like having some of these things at work as much as the next guy, especially NVG's, since we have so much rural area to work in, but I'd...

    See what your county got from the military

    Again, remember that none of the numbers are real. The military accountants can assign whatever number they want for "value", and who's going to argue it? It's the same as the old $400 hammer story from DOD. Sloppy accounting means that there are a lot of false or meaningless numbers. IIRC...

    St Louis riot

    From what I could see it was street cops in regular uniforms at first. Then things got hairy, and they brought out helmets and shields. Necessary as they were getting bricks thrown at them. Then later when things got really bad an there were reports of shots fired, started seeing the Lenco...

    St Louis riot

    Oddly enough, they were non-PC because they soaked people and knocked them down...so they fell out of favor. Why, when they worked so well? Or was it BECAUSE they worked so well that they were protested and declared "inhumane"? Interestingly enough, most of Europe still uses water cannons...

    St Louis riot

    Drugs, and the addictions that result from them, are responsible for most of the crime in my region. The sentencing isn't the issue there. It's a chicken-before-egg scenario. The people using drugs are the ones stealing your car to finance the habit. The sentences came to try to prevent the...

    St Louis riot

    Let's not forget that in Ferguson, it very likely IS "us" vs. "them." In certain neighborhoods, there will always be a dozen "witnesses" ready to swear up and down that the suspect "dint do nuthin' wrong!" That holds as true in trashy mobile home parks as in Ferguson. In those areas, you are...

    Recommendations for a duty AR-10

    My suggestion was that no one is aware of exactly what the OP's department needs the tool for. If they're in a rural area, they may need to be able to hit something farther away than a standard AR-15 without an optic will work for. If they're in an urban area, the needs may be different. My...

    Take it easy bud. I try to work with people like you. But, since you apparently don't want to get along with anyone, we'll just have to go separate ways. Take care, don't get belligerent with the wrong people, don't drink too much, stay out of jail, and live a good life.

    Recommendations for a duty AR-10

    Thinking that you are brutally honest while acting like an asshole to everyone you encounter sounds like a lot of those cops that Dave and Smcarroll have had some encounters with. That's a common problem with burnouts from the military and law enforcement. Being jaded by the thousands of...

    Recommendations for a duty AR-10

    When things go haywire, you'll be on the same side as a lot of militant, arrogant, assholes from both the military and LE. And once you get to know them you'll find out they're about the same as any other group. Some good ones, some bad ones, a few you'll be great friends with, and a lot you...

    Smcarroll, for you, I'll even throw in a nice (consensual) hug. Sensitivity training, you know.
