Personally, I think that there was a deeper story involved, rather than just about "guns". Sure, the acting was a bit "cheesy", but it depicted several different types of people fairly accurately. There were a lot of "sheeple", there were "thugs", Kostner played the part of a "loner", and...

I had to laugh at koja48's response, about getting the title of "Concealed Carry Master" if you carried at a nudist colony! I've been carrying for 38+ years on a daily basis, and I'd feel NEKKID if I didn't have it in its usual location! By the way, a LEO friend of mine was "made" by a...

One of the "C's" stands for "concealed", and when you carry a concealed weapon, it is only for self defense or defending someone else. It is NOT a "scare" tactic, nor should CCW be looked upon as being "cool". I've legally carried for almost 38 years, as a LEO and a retired LEO. So far...

That's similar to an incident that took place in a San Pedro, CA bar several years ago....but with a few twists. Most of the patrons in the bar were LEO's, for they were having a "going away party" for a fellow officer. Before the party started, the LEO's decided it best to keep their guns...

You have to register and log in to take a look. I'm not into motor scooters, so.....!

Years ago, when I was a LEO, I broke my right thumb and forefinger. Being a "righty", that put me in a bind for shooting a handgun, but I didn't want to be without a handgun. I started practising as a "lefty". At the same time, I went on a shooting trip with several of my buddies. One of...

I'm not sure if a "fashion make-over" is necessary. There's a lot to be said about "body language" and posture, though. If you are going to be attacked, it will most likely be when you are walking or sitting. If you walk and sit with good posture, hold your chin up, and act like you're "all...

You can AVOID about 99% of the time, merely by having good situational awareness. The 1% can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Several years ago, an off-duty LEO, who had worked over-time, was extremely hungry and drove to a nearby all-night fast food place that had a drive-thru...

I haven't heard of this YET, but it's bound to happen as it did back during the gas crisis in the 1970's. Besides the gas station "drive-outs" (without paying) and gas thefts from parked cars, there were numerous gasoline delivery truck hijackings. In California, the Highway Patrol was handed...

A few years ago, I was doing some target practise in an area that had an off-road vehicle section and a canyon that recreational shooters used. There was a dirt road on one side of the canyon, and I was on the hillside overlooking that road. I was taking a break when I heard a volley of...

Obama is an effective "flim-flam man", and is able to "inspire" and give "hope" for "change". I wouldn't put ANYTHING past him, for he is a man to be FEARED if he gains such a high position. I'd rather have Hillary back in the White House, for she still wets her finger and holds it in the air...

A Winchester model 69-A, which is a bolt-action .22 rifle with a detachable box magazine. That was way back in 1951, when I was 5 years old, and I was finally allowed to "kill" some tin cans in the desert. That was after what seemed like "years" of training from my dad, but I'm now glad that...

I was pleased to see that you didn't feel "empowered" on your first day of carrying. I really hate to hear someone say that they CCW because it's "cool". I've legally CCW'ed for more than 35 years, as a LEO and now as a retired LEO. Back in 1965, I was 18 years old and living in Los Angeles...

I agree with BHK, but will add that you can dry-fire with the revolver a lot easier than with a pistol. That would enhance your "therapy" a bit more, especially when you are unable to go to the range. When I go shooting, it's in remote desert areas where I can shoot just about any firearm...

From what I've heard (and what makes sense) is that there were several "prototypes" made, but only 2 styles made it to the pre-production manufacturing step, and only 200 of each (400 total) were made for testing purposes. 200 were supposedly roll-stamped "Property of U.S. Army", and the...

I started when I was 24. Two of my classmates "cheated" by falsifying their ages....one was only 20, and the other was 36 (at the time, you had to reach the age of 21 before you graduated from the academy, and the maximum age was 35). Neither of them got caught! I trained a "rookie" that...

The LAPD has NEVER used the S&W model 19, nor did they ever issue any revolvers that were chambered for the .357 magnum. At one time, officers could carry their own personal .357 mag revolvers, but that was halted in the mid-1970's. I have heard that the 110- and 125-grain bullets were...

Not having been there, nor having any knowledge as to what the shotgun was loaded with, I can only guess that it was PROBABLY "00" buck/magnum. They're loaded with from 9 to 12 pellets, and each one is roughly .32 caliber in size. Several years ago, there was a shoot-out between several...

I've already e-mailed the Romney campaign web site with questions and information about his "unusual lethality" (or was it "unusually lethal"?) statement. It reminded me of the brain-dead former Attorney General Janet Reno, when she testified that the so-called assault weapons were (quote)...

Apparently they didn't hear about this! True story! Several years ago, a small city police agency wanted to have a "touchy-feely" training day for all of the administrators and supervisors. There were no facilities available within their own small city, so they rented a banquet room in a...
