So a convicted BURGLAR thinks that he's going to "take guns away" when he legally can not handle ANY firearms because of his burglary conviction? This ought to get interesting. Not to mention his hit and run conviction either. Have you seen his new ride?

I forgot to tell you that most of the time I carry a Glock 19 around town. Other times I carry a Ruger LC9, S&W Shield (9 mm or .45 caliber depending on my mood and goals) or a Springfield Armory XDS in 9 mm. Sometimes I like flat and thin but most of the time the G-19 fills my gun requirements...

Have you tried a Ruger LC9? They're a small pistol that's easy to conceal and they have enough grip area on them so you can get a hold of them. They're not a long range target pistol so shooting 25 yards probably isn't a great idea. The thing is that they work for about 95% of most close range...

We had that discussion one time with some hospital people about us guarding an inmate. They didn't like it because we kept a murderer cuffed. We nicely told them that they work on his wound and we would work on securing him so that he didn't kill any of THEM. They thought about that for a minute...

I constantly switch around in caliber and type of pistol based off of what I need the gun to do for me. Sometimes I plan ahead of potential trouble and want a pistol with a lot of ammo to help me be diplomatic with a large number of potential miscreants. Other times I want to be discreet and...

I recently decided to go with a .45 acp pistol (SA 4.5 inch XDm) to carry for personal defense. I think I will switch away from my standard 9 mm pistols, at least for awhile, and go with the bigger bore pistols. The Springfield Armory pistol has been worked on and tuned up quite a bit. It has a...

The Filipinos Marine Scout Snipers a few years ago decided that they needed their own sniper rifle. Their nation did not have the money to pay for expensive fancy sniper rifles from other nations. This meant that they had to take what was available and run with it. The Filipino Marines sent...

Special Forces teaches its people that all the different firearms are meant to meet certain goals and do specific tasks. They also teach their weapons people to understand that you have precision weapons and tactical weapons. The FAL rifles were designed to be tactical rifles. Most American...

What? No Highpoints? All kidding aside, most back problems associated with police officers are from the seats of the police vehicles that they are forced to drive around in for many hours. Most departments take average family cars, upgrade them a little bit in the electrical and brake systems...

Sniper School taught us to do 3 round SLOW FIRE groups, make our adjustments until we got our zero right and then use that zero to shoot 5 round SLOW FIRE test pattern groups. After your first 5 round SLOW FIRE test pattern group, you wait for awhile and fire another SLOW FIRE 5 round test...

I look at where I am going, what I will be doing and what kind of possible circumstances I could face. In other words, if I plan to go out at night in a larger urban area, I want a lot of rounds so I carry my Glock 19 and at least 1 extra magazine for a reload. If I plan to run to the local...

Fiver, you're right about this situation being one of where it's about who does not die. The key for such an event is getting plenty of practice and having the right gear for "the right social occasion." After all, you don't want to go tap dancing while wearing combat boots, right? In a tight...

Bigger bore pistols, in small rooms, do have their advantages in some situations. So do headshots at close range. Keep in mind, that if you do shoot a pistol in a small confining space like a 10 by 10 room, your hearing is going to be messed up for many, many days. Kind of makes one want to go...

Years ago I got to talk to several of the Olympic shooters on the USA Olympic Shooting Team. These people believe in certain things. One thing is that you need to "break in" any firearm that you plan to use. That means take it to a range and run 300 to 500 rounds through it. The idea is that by...

My favorite handgun a grey Glock 19 and my Seber knife, a lock blade.

Glock 19.

Haven't some retired police or military gone into teaching? Yes, some of us have gone into teaching. I teach local police officers and some civilians. Where the problem lies in schools is the volume of people milling around and trying to detect the armed student among the unarmed students. When...

Question: If the defendant was in the bar with a gun, is it illegal in the first place to even be armed there? Or is it legal only if he has NOT been drinking alcoholic beverages? Just curious...

For those of us who have been involved in tactical situations, do you have the phone number of an attorney on speed dial? I do. I may never need it but it's good to think ahead of possible trouble and that's the key thing that I next want to get you thinking about. It's always the little things...

That's the problem that a lot of departments have: not enough manpower. That means that some rural agencies only have 2 officers to cover an area the size of like Rhode Island in states in the middle of the U.S. That's also why one officer will be responding to an active shooter alone which...
