I remember those dang things when I was stationed in Germany. Hated being out in the woods on a FTX etc and having blanks in my M16A2 BB gun and seeing those (seemingly) gigantic hogs snuffeling around our position. Nothing like a plastic club to keep Momma off you.

If you want to get pedantic about it, as long as the round is the same weight/velocity, it doesn't matter what the nose looks like as it goes through the paper. Personally I glom a couple boxes of practice ammo from the department to keep familiar with the feel of my duty weapon and work on...

Cosmo- To Some extent I agree and disagree with the above statement. The War of Independance was nearly a decade long and while the militia was of importance, especially during the early phase of the war, it was the professional military that bore the brunt of the line fighting. Much of...

OC sucks. . . I absolutely love it when I get sprayed by my brother officers. Now that I think about it, I can't recall a time I didn't get sprayed/contaminated with the crap when it was used. You can decon your face all you like, just be careful when you take a shower later. . gravity is...

+1 on Jim Baen's company. Been a reader of his authors since Lois McMaster Bujold came out. Ringo is friggin awesome. The "Ghost" series is a guilty pleasure of mine. I also personally have to add Tom Kratman to the list of authors. Michael Z. Williamson is pretty good too. Very...

Poor Richard, And I think you are reading the SCOTUS's opinion wrong. Maybe it'll land me in civil court one day. One of the reasons I pay my FOP dues, in addition to a fine outdoor range. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=392&page=1 I'm saying...

Are we playing AD&D now? :confused: You enter a ten by ten stone corridor. . . I can't play what if without a scenario. I really don't wanna play game of "twit the cop."

Depends. Define peacful open carry. Walking down the city street? Driving down the street in car? Many store owners/operators open carry, as do many motorists. Open carry is most oent sene in rural areas, where as CC is the order of the day in most urban environments. It's generally a non...

At the very least, based on the circumstances described by the OP there would be reasonable suspiction that there was a man carrying a concealed weapon, which I amassuming is a misdemeanor if you don't have a perimt. Based on the fact no less than 12 officers showed up, I am guessing that...

ok, nevermind. . . Going backto the OP's OP ;) we have this to parse: Poor Richard, I think I misread what you posted and now I understand. The "No, you're being detained for our safety."is not a valid reason for a seizure of a person, however the officer stating this may have been...

Poor Richard How is "officer safety" BS?:confused: How is the above search and seizure of the OP unconstitutional and outside terry v ohio? Because the officers found out nothing illlegal happened even though there was reasonable articulable suspicion and concerns for officer safety...

And how am I supposed to know that you are a good guy? Because you tell me? I shouldn't have to worry about annoying him. Once. Again. How do I know he's a good guy? Becasue he has a CCW Permit badge? As long as I conduct myself with professionalism and stay within the bounds of law...

I took a call for a suspicious vehicles. I turned out to be a woman that was upset that the people picking up their kids from the nearby elementary school don't keep her driveway clear "What if I needed to leave in some kind of emergency?" she asks me. You have no idea the idiot calls we have...

PTK, I'm not arguing with you, I'm not saying you did anything wrong. I'm not even casing around veiled accusations about your mental status as other have. I did ask why on earth you carried so heavy on a trip to wally world, which you answered and that answer seems to makes sense. I don't...

Don't over generalize. This all depends on where you are at. I'm all for more law abiding citizens carrying/owning. Keeps me from having to work as hard and I can go write more trafic tickets :eek: so we can get more grant moneyfrom Feds & state. Personally I have no issue with OC, but...

Dang Mosins, they keep having puppies. Got to get 'em spayed.

side note: "not normal" equals suspicious to our porcine LEO minds. Even I don't carry that heavy and I've actually been personally threataned by various degenerates. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you nessicarily should. That includes packing an armory. Personally if...

And how, pray tell, should a cop investigating a man with a gun call proceed? Do people never lie to the police? Do criminals/law breakers come in all shapes/sizes/colors? What if you were carrying legit but had a warrant (FTA on tickets, child support, any number of reasons an otherwise law...

(puts on flame proof suit) As for the first half, what is unreasonable about an officer handcuffing an unknown armed subject when investigating a "man with a gun call" before disarming and ascertaining their status? The term reasonable suspicion keeps getting batted around here but I think...

Killdozer anyone? :eek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer
