...scoutsabout...that's one thing I don't miss for sure...that damned continuum of force...glad to be a civilian for sure!!! All I'm responsible for is deciding if deadly force is justified and necessary...we didn't have that when I was a cop...ran into it in security work in '96...it sucks...
...it's both a hold-over from what Grandpa did and ignorance by the younguns who were taught by him...you'd be surprised how many folks still do it...I've found a dozen or so in the last 40 years and asked them why...they didn't even know guns have been improved...myths abound in "casual" gun...
...old revolvers could fire by being dropped or something striking or partially cocking, then dropping, the hammer....putting the hammer down on an empty cylinder was a safety measure...and even though modern high quality revolvers have safer actions...some carry on the habit...
....open the action and run your cable through the trigger guard and around the receiver under the barrels....action can't close...
...they make loop slings that slide down the barrels...but I don't like them in the way...
...a school has zero authority or right to say on a public street not on school property...only law enforcement may enforce law regarding any 1000-foot rule...and they didn't...why are we reading this????
...I think it's that people are easily intimidated by the very authority that WE ENTRUSTED THE GOVERNMENT WITH TO SERVE US...and they are often now using ON us...and they give in rather than ruffling feathers...this old fat ex-cop will make them look like a chicken what's been through a car wash...
...since straw purchases are a federal matter...already have heavy penalties in place...the ONLY reason a state would do this is to be controlling and restrictive...I believe it is unconstitutional for either to restrict us to only one purchase of ANY product per month...meddlin' in our...
...why should you be any different than the rest of us?;)...you're pretty good with your tools...betcha you could make those and sell 'em...lotsa Dads would rather have wood and leather than plastic and plastic....that's neat....
...I gotta warn ya...you're gonna have a lotta young men chasin' after her...to get her knife!!! Cool!!! Literally made a memory...her kids oughta have that someday!!!
...did not realize Winchester shotguns were back in production?...I love the old 1200...would like to try the newest 1300..some I've tried and one I had were not as smooth as the 1200...and the BPS is a dream!!! Fine and reasonably affordable...but not to cut down and carry in a truck!!!
...Justice5...we disagree on several items...but I respect the attitude that you put forth...there have always been those who didn't trust the police...often those who dealt with them more often than most...as has been said...there are good and there are bad...and now, as 30 years ago...they all...
...windsor311...perhaps that is true where you live...different states word it differently...but thousands of search warrants are issued on the word of a "reliable informant" WITHOUT the corroborating evidence gathering you describe...time and urgency constraints come into play...cops "sell" the...
...the law requires a tip from a "reliable informant" who has knowledge of criminal activity there...and what any judge says fits the bill can run from a to z...more judges buy the story than don't...it's not being unreasonable or "not co-operative" to require that they who are entrusted with...
...to the OP...I don't know you...but I do know law enforcement...and proper police procedure...and the bill of rights...and I do know that quite often there are those in law enforcement who will use any story and any ruse to "get something on" someone...anyone...to make themselves look...
