We need to ban the sale of long pointed kitchen knives (not joke) From the current British Medical Journal: Reducing Knife Crime Not a joke! merged this with already ongoing thread on the subject - P95Carry

Art, OT. I think that "anesthesiologist" can be grouped with "police" and "pilot" in that there are long periods of routine coupled with moments of terror and action. The LEO, pilot, and anesthesiologist are working hard during the time of "boredom" to prevent the moments of frenzy...

Longest thread... ever. I'm 29 years old, doctor. I was born in Hong Kong, but became an American at the ripe age of two. I'm single, and own a bunch of guns. Up to my eyeballs in debt. Used to live in Chicago, now live in Baltimore. Neither is a friendly place for my hobby.

About a year ago, I found myself driving to a restaurant to meet some colleagues. It was about 6pm on a November weekday about one block away from my apartment in a major Maryland metropolis. I was alone in my car and stopped at a red light at the intersection. I turned my head to the right...

Hello Friends: A while back, I picked up a nice police trade-in Wingmaster 870. It has a Chaote extended mag tube. I haven't yet fired it (or any other shotgun, ever, for that matter), but I have managed to jam it up pretty good. I loaded it up with dummy rounds and it functioned well...

Pretty good training. I did this at my martial arts club a while back... one of the instructors was a law enforcement training officer and had access to the Simunitions and modified revolvers. We practiced disarming each other without getting shot. What I learned was that it is REALLY...
