It's just TV. And, "Mac 10", or "Uzi", is almost like "Band-Aid". It's like when a cop calls an outlaw biker a "Hell's Angel" when even the cop knows it was some other, lesser known, club. He's not trying to make you think the guy was really a Hell's Angel, he's just making the point that...

Go to a car forum and see how passionate, and just as sure, Ford vs. Chevy guys are. It's human nature. :)

Don't claim to have actual knowledge of something and then act like you are to important to actually share that knowledge. And, your knowledge comes from where? All right, but it will piss you off. DEA, at the time being the largest owner of Colt rifles in law enforcement, asked Colt to...

"You realize Colt got a larger part of that contract as did another company. RRA didn't exactly give the DEA the same guns you can buy off the shelf. I have also heard there are some issues with the guns they purchased but haven't seen data on that yet." You realize that DEA didn't buy one...

I think you need to learn how government contracts work before you post. Awarding a contract is not the same as making purchases under it. DEA has purchased ZERO Colts and ZERO Sigs under those particular contracts. And, if you don't believe me, or think I'm just pulling this stuff out of my...

No, wrong. DEA didn't buy any Colt semi-auto AR-15's for domestic use under that contract. They did buy some select fire M-4's for OCONUS use under a pre-existing contract, but now Colt has even lost out on that contract to LWRC. The Colt internet guys were mad enough at DEA over the Rock...

You have to remember that the first qualification for a federal agent (or deputized state or local LEOs, which to be fair, are some of the people on the show) to be on one of these shows, is to be stupid enough to say yes, when they are looking for volunteers for it. After that, anything is...

And, here's something of a general nature for other people here to consider. Being a patrol officer, in a small town, with limited back-up, is about as dangerous as it gets in law enforcement. At least in the places I have worked. Nothing that DEA agents do is comparable in risk to that. I...

Yes, Bob was not only a good instructor, but is also just a really good guy. And, for what it's worth, I have always enjoyed reading your books and articles as well. Someone told me a long time ago that the best way to learn things, and remember them, was to be told them in story fashion...

I've never identified myself on this forum, and much prefer to lurk and read, than post, but I am a DEA agent, and have been one for almost eighteen years, and who, until recently, was assigned to the Miami Field Division. But at the point someone uses DEA to try and smear someone's...

So, going back to your original statemen, are you saying the FBI, DEA, and ATF are not law enforcement agencies, or what? Or,that they are, but you just don't think Rock River rifles are any good? There is a difference in fact and opinion. It may be your opinion that Rock River rifles are...

I cannot name you one LE or military agency that uses RRA. I can name you dozens (of LE) that use Bushmaster, LMT or Stag/CMT. I thought in fact that the DEA is not renewing their contract. I can. DEA FBI ATF (Together, the own more AR's than any law enforcement agency in the world)...

Q: "It is illegal to have hidden compartments?" A: "No, not unless they are filled, or have been filled before, with illegal drugs." Not necessarily. The smuggling of contraband is inclusive of many items besides scheduled narcotics, and the means of concealing them should not be thought of...

"Unless it's a pretty big patch, it's not someone "dangerous", most likely. It's a local kid who wants some weed without having to deal with a nasty-ass dealer (assuming the stuff's cultivated at all). I'd be more concerned about having a few stupid hippies tromping around and scaring away game...

It is illegal to have hidden compartments? No, not unless they are filled, or have been filled before, with illegal drugs. (And, yes, there is a way to tell if they have ever contained illegal drugs before). Chalk the article up to one more case of a news reporter not really...
