Is this the same board? In two other threads most of the respondents could save their communities money by joining their local PD IAD shoot team. Without being on the scene, without an investigation, without knowing all of the FACTS they are ready to crucify the responding police officers who...

Read gmarshall139's post. READ IT AGAIN. That was the best advice in 3 pages. If your local department allows it, do a ride-along. You might get to see how quickly life-or-death decisions must be made. Cop-on-cop shootings get a lot of press (remember the subway shooting?), but when the cop...

Lessons Learned 1) Maybe it's better to learn ALL of the facts, as best you can, before delivering a decision you may want to change later. 2) Alcohol and guns don't mix- do you think it may have affected the ODs judgement and response? 3) Now that Graystar has told us that all 13,000...

Well, it's YOUR choice..... We can only offer personal opinions, even the guys that suggest guns larger than those you ask about. I would say look at, and try out if possible, the KT 3AT, a PPK, and the whole line of Smith snubbies including the light-weights, including the .32 Mag. Choose...

Consider ammunition too During the TET offensive in Hue RVN in Feb' 68 we were losing too many Marines (ONE is too many) so the ARVN finally gave permission for air and artillary support. This doggie Signal 1st John got the nod to take in the commo equipment to coordinate the air and ATTY...

Just a thought... How many police vehicles have shotguns/rifles/anti-sniper rifles locked in the trunk when the officer is called away from the immediate area of the vehicle? (I'm thinking foot chases, traffic accidents, etc.) Most of them are not locked in a rack, as weapons in the passenger...

I don't want to get flamed, but... The best advice I read from Marshall was that the 3 most important things about SD w/ a handgun are bullet placement, bullet placement,... and bullet placement. The best contribution from Ayoob was; you need Mental Awareness and Preparedness, Tactics, and...

When the neighbor kid who is visiting yours picks up your HD gun... How did he do that? Pick the lock on the gun safe? Pry off the trigger lock? I don't understand how a stranger gets his hands on your HD gun? Do some people still leave them unattended in the dresser drawer? I thought we...

+1 on all of the above NYC won't even recognize an upstate NY state permit. Says right on the permit Not valid in NYC. They out-vote us in Albany.

Sorry, but no. Call the park first. You can't just "camp in the woods," they have designated camping areas. You CAN carry a firearm during hunting season in designated areas of the park, but a .30-30 isn't allowed for deer in that part of the state. A phone call can clear things up, and save...

Talon clip Years ago we all put the clip over the belt, clipping under the belt is a recent thing (I know, I'm showing my age). I have a drawer full of Talons, that is all I would carry off duty, and I think it is an excellent holster. I have NEVER broken one, but if I did I'm sure Lou would...

I agree with MOST of what you say........... "The issue is not whether a particular type of testimony is considered admissible. The issue if that of the consideration itself. The point I made is that the Miranda ruling has changed that consideration in the wrong direction. It has done so by...

I think I answerd your point: "Again, from the card: "Now that I have advised you of your rights are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney?" If you say yes, if you talk to me VOLUNTARILY, without duress, you voluntarily waived your rights, it is not compelled testimony and IS...

"English john, you're just not understanding my point so I'll stop trying to explain." I understand that you believe if anyone opens his mouth after the Miranda warning it could never be voluntary and the LEO must have somehow compelled the poor suspect to talk against his will, make an...

"There are cases where the validity of obviously voluntary confessions are questioned simply because the confession was made before the reading of rights." That' why we have Miranda, I think we agree on that. "The reverse has also happened. That shouldn't be." If a suspect makes an...

"Yet, if the accused has been read his rights, the confession now gains a validity that it shouldn't have." Step by step: You are in custody (you can't leave) I read to you your Miranda rights. "Now that I have advised you of your rights are you willing to answer my questions without an...

"And once again, for the umphteen time, the issue being discussed is not whether a confession should be considered compelled or not. The issue being discussed is how Miranda has changed the court's process of that consideration." Graystar- now, finally, you are right. If we look at the...

What Brownie, Carpetbagger, and I said (over and over). You probably don't like it, but welcome to the real world- it's legal right now. I doubt you will see a judge reverse it anytime soon for your reasons. "Your honor, I advised him of his Miranda rights, he signed a waiver and a...

Apples and oranges Man, you just won't let this go........... Now I think the 2 issues are apples and oranges. 1) Cops are taught that custody (you are not free to leave) AND questions require the Miranda warning, and then any answers to questions will be admissable. Without those 2...

"If an LEO arrests you, he should arrest you as though he is arresting an innocent man who has done nothing wrong. If an LEO is interrogating you, he should interrogate you as though he is interrogating an innocent man. When the prosecutor is putting together his case, he should put together the...
