I will be more than happy to provide you with some of that information in a PM. Some of it, such as my insurance company name, I will not. Before you go lighting into anything here, please bear in mind that armed security officers in VA have police arrest authority for all offenses on private...

Once in 2001, I was working for a shopping mall's security department. I was performing a hall and restroom check when I ran into one of our housekeepers, who was pointing into the stall and repeating "Pistola". I retrieved and secured a clean, loaded Sig P226 from it's resting place, neatly...

I can concur and agree with the view of a Use of Force Continuum being a shield from liability. Our insurance company specifically asked if we have a use of force continuum in place. When I patrol, I have a sidearm, Punch II OC, an M26 Taser, and an expandable baton on my belt, and the long...

I acquired my first BB gun at the age of 8. Twas a Daisy pump BB rifle, gifted to me by my father. We got it at a hardware store. I used to carry it to shoot small game in the woods and along the railroad tracks. I lost it while running from the railroad cops for trespassing on their land...

Plus, I like the muzzle blast. I think it's awesome. When I take this gun deer hunting, I like the thought that I can fell and cook my prey at the same time. If you are not firing with the bayonet extended, you need to do so. Not extending the bayonet will throw off your POI by a couple of...

I have a M44 and I use a small size Pachmayer shoulder pad.

I don't really care what negative posters think. If you were so schooled on the laws, trade, and operation of private security, you would probably have a company too. I will do what I studied, verified, and know to be legal. I don't care what the more negative posters think or say, I refuse...

I don't. I have heard of the lore of the Mall Ninja thread, as referenced off of glocktalk, IIRC. The story is web-famous, that's for sure. I just didn't know the name of the OP.

elCupacabra - I've never heard of this organization or website you cite. I was wondering though, maybe I'm wrong. You know, maybe operating and running a security company, I just get caught up in it all, being exposed to the latest in industry trends and all on a daily basis. Maybe I can hire...

Asking for opinions on firearms is immature? Righto.

Judging from the maturity of your posts, I'll venture a guess that I've been in the security industry longer than you've been out of high school. Now go turn the toaster off before you light off mom's kitchen.

I'm certain that a couple of belts, a bedsheet, an old Army field jacket, a beard, and an AK would make for a convincing OBL.

It seems that elCupacabra has a severe case of open mouth/close mind. For these people, there is no convincing nor educating. The fact of the matter is that most people are stuck in the past. These are the same people who claim Bail Enforcement Agents aren't needed because we have the police...

IF it gets to the point where these things have to be actually deployed, the police will be on the way, however my aims are twofold: 1 - Deter a higher display of force by armed criminals 2 - Keep patrolmen alive until the police get there I made a typo. Sue me. I am. Apartment...

Thank you, sir. The Mossberg seems to be the winner in the shotgun category, the M4 platform has stuck for me in the rifle category. As for the handguns, I will be closely evaluating the GLOCK 22 and the Smith & Wesson M&P 40. I am still getting a PX4 Storm as my duty carry, but that's just...

Thanks, Harry. NSV is here too. She's now Empress Penguin.

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, if you shoot someone in the extremities, you will be charged with Intent to Maim. Center of Mass is encouraged because of the way the Va law reads "shoot to stop".

I have been considering a paycheck deduction system for vest issue, as someone alluded to earlier. It all comes down to money. I can re-issue jackets, well-maintained shirts & pants, cars, and sidearms. I cannot generally do the same for someone's nasty, sweaty, custom-fit body armor. When...

Once I went to the local range back home in VA. I rented a select fire .40 caliber MP5. I shot about 10 magazines through this thing. The last two were on full auto, annihilating a steel swinging target tree. I didn't notice anything there, but when I got home, I discovered that the...

Mall SOT? Are you referring to the ever-present Mall Ninja/Specops thread from years ago, containing this quote:
