A big part of the Sheriff's "Work smarter, not harder" philosophy involved the fine art of misdirection -- if a subject was so confused that he wasn't per-zackly sure which way was up, then he/she/it/they probably wouldn't be causing the sorts of problems which require extra paperwork. Or ER...

Show of paws here: how many people know what a pogonip is? For the unwary, a pogonip is also called an ice-fog and is basically a thick blanket of winter fog that freezes on contact with anything solid, forming a super-slick rime of ice up to several inches thick. Okay. As penance for...

There's nothing quite like getting ambushed by a buzzard to let you know that your week is about to take a header down the khazi. Especially when the buzzard is the size of a Boeing jet and made out of ball-point-pen ink. I had walked into the main room of The Feedlot in search of...

There was a young man who moved to our town named Frederick who managed to get all over my wrong side in a hurry. Near as I can tell, his mama gave him anything he wanted from the time he learned to point. In her eyes, he could do absolutely no wrong. He was, in plain language, spoiled...

Some of the long-term Members here from TFL may remember the "no guns = no $" cards I sent around back in 2001. Great minds must think alike, because somebody done gone and made some cards just like those here: http://www.learntocarry.com/ Right hand column, just a bit down. These come...

http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/amu/OPERATIONS/USAMU%20Service%20Rifle%20Team%20dominates%20at%20National%20Matches.doc I can't believe that a 20 year "infantryman, drill sergeant, and M16 Range Instructor" has never heard of the Presidents' 100, or of the US Army Marksmanship Unit. LawDog

http://www.slug-lines.com On one of my increasingly brief excursions into TV land, I saw a blurb concerning the practice of 'slugging' in Washignton, D.C. on one of the news networks. I am impressed. This restores my faith in the average American citizen to improvise, adapt and overcome...

As a creative articulation, suppose that you have a young person who has zero firearm experience. Now, supposing that you have taught this person the basics: the Four Rules, This End Bad/This End Good, Bang Switch Here, but you don't trust yourself to be objective in further teaching of this...

This is important: I've seen the clip of the little old lady getting tackled in her kitchen, but I need other video clips of gun confiscations in New Orleans. I don't need jibber-jabber, chest-beating, or Internet Ice Cream Commando posturing, so save those for other threads. Just post...

Well, I've posted what the city of New Orleans was supposed to do in case of emergency, now let us see what the State of Louisiana was supposed to do. http://www.ohsep.louisiana.gov/default.htm In particular, this section: http://www.ohsep.louisiana.gov/plans/EOPSheltersupplement.pdf I...

Random yacking from an exhausted LawDog. 1) The only people responsible for the safety of you and yours -- is you. Nobody, not the local government, county government, state government, federal government or the United Nations, nobody owes you survival. Take it upon yourself to be ready...

This thread will stay polite. Period. The first sign of macho chest-thumping, any variation on the words "Jack Booted Thug" or any discussion about specific tactics either to facilitate or ambush a dynamic entry, and this thread gets shut down. Now. One of the things that makes a...

Okay, this one is new to me. I brought a critter before the judge today for setting fire to a pump-jack that didn't belong to him. During the course of his ramblings, he announced to the judge that the court didn't have any jurisdiction over his case because he was -- and I quote --...

The husband and mother of US Judge Joan Lefkow were slain in an execution style murder today. This, in and of itself, is a bad thing, but I am interested in a sub-part of the investigation. Judge Lefkow was the presiding judge in a trademark-infringment lawsuit involving the World Church...

Since TFL and THR share membership, no doubt many of you are aware of the challenge that Rich Lucibella offered to Gabe Suarez on TFL, http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159985 This is a debate between two gentlemen, or will be, and I know that the Membership will continue...

KaceCoyotes' thread got me to thinking: does anyone else here use their non-dominant hand to work the controls on their auto-pistols? I can't reach the controls on most full-size pistols without shifting my grip, and I don't favour shifting my pistol around in a sweaty grip during...

"Nuke all Muslims" Posts Derek Zeanah is the system administrator for The High Road. It is his server that THR is hosted on, it's his bandwidth we're using, and he's one of the ones who fixes THR when it goes down. I've never met the man in person, but I consider him to be a friend of mine...

My county uses the Identix LiveScan system for taking fingerprints from accused critters in our jail. Basically, it requires that all four fingers be placed on a scan pad and scanned into the system, then each finger is individually scanned and compared to the four-finger group. If the two...
