    After watching the small film clip of the Georgia incident that resulted in homicide charges against a father and son...

I'll be interested...

    Special considerations when dealing with an elevated shooter...

    I wasn't shocked this morning at the news out of Los Vegas... saddened - but not shocked. When I turned 18 (all the back in 1966...) the term "active shooter" wasn't in use - but that would change, wish it weren't so... During a career in law enforcement I was forced to learn everything I...

    Police model Wingmasters were once common as dirt (in every condition) around police supply houses or shops that dealt in police inventory disposal. Nowadays you really have to look to find one in only fair condition. This listing is the only one I've seen recently in new condition and looks...
