Hated paying the ATF, but having shorty with me is well worth it.
In all aspects of security you're discussing levels of deterrence. i.e. how much time it takes to defeat, and what the actual threat is. The closest to perfect system is one that is designed with...
Working narcotics in Miami back in the 80's one of the things I'd always look at was shoes. You can dress a scumbag up, but they keep those Wallyworld shoes.
I've been extremely pleased with the Blade-Tech holsters I've used. The Eclipse is my normal EDC. The only issue I've had is with keeping screws tightened up. But nothing a little Loc-Tite can fix.
From a treatise on International Maritime Law via Wikipedia:
"Pirate Economics
A 2011 report published by Geopolicity Inc called The Economics of Piracy, investigated the causes and...
Britain to allow armed guards to combat sea piracy
By DAVID STRINGER, Assocaited Press – 4 days ago
LONDON (AP) — Ships sailing under Britain's flag will be permitted to carry armed guards on...
As a former maritime LE I'm all for allowing these vessels to employ armed security. It's actually turning into a booming business for some. The problems arise from countries around these areas who...
Interesting to note that even within the same metropolitan areas you can have a wide interpretation of applicable laws, and various additions. i.e. Denver vs. the rest of the metro area.
You can't live in a state of heightened awareness without paying a price at some point. The officer mentioned who is hypersensitive will (is) pay a price down the road. Part of the issue here is...
Having, at one time, been part of this bureaucracy the root of the problem (to me) is that, as has been said essentially, bureaucrats have been put in charge of what were originally developed as LE...
While I can't account for what is in the video's, many of the books floating around out there that were supposed to be written by "operators" were/are written by ghost writers. A lot of it reads like...
Not to get too weird, but one of the things I've learned from working with other educators is that the way adults learn is so very different from the way kids learn (technically it's call andragogy...
The only thing I can say at this point is "Thank You". Had a rough day up to this point, and watching that maelstrom of madness had me laughing so hard the dog came to see what was so damn funny.
I honestly have no words to describe how disturbing that is.
JL - you and I have had similar discussions on Glock.pro and I whole-heartedly agree with your assessment. I see far too many instructors with no real world experience or training attempting to pass...
Always entertaining to the read the highly informed comments that follow such articles also.
Easy on the vertically challenged jokes.
The M&P feels great in my smaller hands, but I shoot it like crap compared to my Glocks. I don't find it unusual to shoot something better when it's new to you, conscious application of skills is...
Forcing a door would be when you've made lawful notice and the resident simply refuses to let you in. Then a shoulder, kick, sledge, whatever was needed. Dynamic entry is usually a no knock...
A number of the private security companies in Iraq and Afghanistan employ Ghurkas. For good reason.
Your call on caliber. As long as the manual of arms is the same, what's the diff?
Being a smaller guy, this is something I've taught for a while. Elbows slightly bent and using the pecs and back muscles by dropping the elbows slightly. Made a very big difference for me. ...
“Computers have enabled people to make more mistakes faster than almost any invention in history, with the possible exception of tequila and hand guns
As a side, I've found that turning the head very slightly to the non-dominant side (i.e. putting your dominant eye on the sight) tends to help learn to shoot with both eyes open.
I've ruined a number of dress shirts carrying in a suit. That's actually a small part of the reason I carry Glocks now. 1911's do have a tendency to leave some nice oil stains. On all my suits...
