My range bag has it's own, dedicated, blow out kit. If I'm taking a class I bring my big aid bag, since in almost every class I take I end up as the designated responder or alternate. Gosh I wonder...

So I've been binge watching Voice/X Factor/(Fill in the blank)'s got talent auditions. I can't NOT watch this every time it shows up in the recommended or mix.

I need to dig my copy out and put it into the 'to be read' pile
Pretty sure the abyss won the first time I looked at a 'the older I get, the less a life sentence is a deterrent' meme and reacted 'yeah, I can see that'.
It's been all "down abyss" ever since.

Just like with the CAFE standards, people thought they could legislate dilithium crystals into existence.
News flash: You cannot change the laws of physics, captain.
Edit to add: the UK has...
No surprise.
When I first started looking at this stuff, and reading some less optimistic sites, it became pretty obvious that the logistics just aren't going to work out. If anyone pushing this...
To be fair, being exposed to highly toxic stuff is what we do for a living. Also, SOP for any vehicle fire is attack from upwind and uphill if at all possible, so in most cases time inside the smoke...
Wanted and couldn't afford a S&W Model 28 back when I was a broke college student working part time for minimum wage.
Wanted a 76/45 during the same period and the tax stamp looked insurmountable....
I'm was a stinkin' reservist from 85-93. The only danger I was ever in was my own driving. Once on the way home from AT at Ft Riley on no sleep , once on Reforger 86, because you couldn't let...
Is anyone even doing traffic any more?
(For context: I'm a fire dispatch/911 operator, we share the room with our PD's dispatch center)
Even in my well funded, well staffed, mid tier suburb on...
In my defense I was winding down after my 4th 12 in a row, and had beaten my brain half to death trying to remember everyone/everything when I started this thread.
But shame on me for not...
What would be on my keys, if they weren't too bulky already, would be the Fenix LD01, or it's successor, that rides in my pocket. It's a 1 AAA and it's still really stiff after all of the years I've...
To avoid drifting Craig's thread https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?59160-The-Patterned-Compliace-Pistol where he said that maybe 4 people have found him from here.

Thank you Bill, I have one of those and now I know why it went dead on my desk. It came in one of their grab bags, I believe before they ever listed it, and I never saw docs on them.
First and...
I was going to put an 1895 Guide Gun in 45-70 on my list but my minimal research couldn't tell me if it would have been available at the time. I remember really wanting one at the time when they...
Born in 66.
I was surprised to see so many BAR/Monitor fans. I guess I shouldn't be. I'm the guy that, coming of age in the 80s, wanted but didn't buy an AUG, a HK VP70, and that weird High...
OK, I'll play.
My first handgun was a Smith 65-1, bought in the late 80s. It was my nightstand gun until replaced by a G21SF, then my wife's nightstand gun until replaced by a DAO 64 a few years...
That's another advantage that fire has over LE. In my first post in this thread, I noted that the city FD has a position staffed 24/7, who's job it is to manage major incidents. Those people with...
I can't agree more with what @Notorious E. O. C. posted. *
In LE's defense, fire comes to scenes not as individuals, but preformed teams with basic assignments built in. Even more important, our...
I mean we did, kinda.
It's WAY better than it was. But it's still not perfect. And interoperable radios are such a small part of the whole picture. And you have to actually interoperate. When the...
Where I'm coming from: 30+ years in the fire service, my retirement gig is as a 911 dispatcher, in one of the 3 centers who handle our state mutual aid system.
Unfortunately, the only way to get...
We had a great carrier for a long time, and then everything went to hell when he retired. I caught the 4th or 5th replacement one day and she said that the route was almost, but not quite, big enough...
They covered this on that podcast. You're correct.
Whichever of the guests that was talking about Google/Apple pay said that if it was available to you that it was more secure than running the...
We do everything on credit cards. I have both issuer's apps on my phone, and I get alerts and texts every time one of the cards gets used. I started doing that after my wife got frauded twice in a...
