Your thread title is "Glock 43x-best 10-round subcompact CCW?". Did you want input on that, or just the two guns you mentioned?[/QUOTE]
Basically my question is if a G43x is a step up from the...
I happen to be sitting on a stack of Cabelas gift cards, and I'm thinking this may finally be the year to replace my 20-ish year old G27 for CCW. I have big hands and use pinky extenders on it. Due...
The funny thing is I wear(non-cargo) 5.11 pants almost everyday, but I work as an elementary school counselor, which is the least-tactical job in the world. I spend a lot of time kneeling or sitting...
I'm currently a school counselor in a very safe elementary school but worked for 10 years in various schools and programs serving challenging populations. Trauma, poverty, abuse, gangs, you name...

If I want to watch a Navy Seal revenge story, I think I'll hold out for Jack Carr's The Terminal List, which will also be on Amazon.

I also use 5.11 chinos, and I work in an elementary school. No one notices, or likely cares, that they are technically "tactical".

For a few weeks last year, one of my neighbors had a wifi network named "FBI Surveillance Van". I have to admit, it did make me look out the window for shady looking vans.

Indeed. With our near-peer threats, surface to air and air-to-air missile technology have come a long way. Not to mention the effects on planning when you know that your bombers (carrying cruise...
The last time I swore at an automated phone tree, it answered with, "Well, that language is not necessary, call back later" and it hung up on me. I am not kidding.

This new paradigm has the goal of no police response at all. In this paradigm, the mere presence of police is inherently escalating, and the client must be protected from their presence. But police...
That is definitely a factor. My main point is that unless the mental health providers are trained and equipped to actually, physically intervene in a crisis, then police will have to be called...
I have worked with mentally ill, physically aggressive children in mental health and school settings. Don’t discount how dangerous even a 6 or 7 year old can be, especially to themselves, and how...
Seems to be intended as a defensive carbine, but .45-70 is a little overpowered for home defense. Would love to see it in .44 magnum.
There is a very high demand nationwide for good mental health professionals due to Covid-19, so there are plenty of job opportunities for them to jump ship if they don't want to do street work. ...
Presumably the mental health professional knowingly signed up for the job, so they should know what to expect. Very few MH professionals have experience contacting clients outside of controlled...
That is awesome. Cannot get enough Dan Carlin. He was on the Lex Fridman podcast a few days ago, and he talked a lot about his process among other things. Very good interview.

Lex Fridman had the Replika developer on his podcast. She came up with the idea out of the lonliness she experienced after her fried suddenly died. Basically millenials are extremely socially...
Tristan Harris, one of the filmmakers, was just on Joe Rogan. Very good interview.

My kit came with the Auto-Disk measure, though. The...
I am a RSO with my son's Boy Scout troop, and we are chartered through my shooting range, so we shoot a lot. On range days, especially at summer camp, our rifles can easily see 2-3k rounds a day,...

The people who can have a foot in both worlds are in extremely short supply. You'll mostly find them in institutional settings, where they learn to build relationships with patients, earn trust, but...
As someone who has spent years working in mental health and training hundreds of people in crisis intervention, I can tell you it is going to ve tough to recruit, train and retain people for this. ...
