    Carrying a firearm in a courthouse

    Varies from county to county in Blount County, the courthouse is posted by order of the Circuit Judge, prohibiting carry. It may allow carry by Permit holders, but I can't remember if is or not, havent been there in a while or paid attention to the fine print on the notice.

    Expert Marksman? Where do they get these guys?

    I saw most of that show... I was not convinced that the 30-30 shooter was the actual guilty party. IIRC, the partner officer was the deceased's brother who was riding as a reserve officer, and who had little police experiance. I would consider a fully llighted car a "bullet magnet" in the...

    Officer's response to 911 call that wasn't made.

    While there are some very well paid departments... in this country, I daresay the majority of officers make less than the median income of the citizens of their state. In the 7 man dept i now work for, a new officer gets paid a whopping $8.50 an hour until he is academy certifed, and then gets...

    Opinion on Tazers

    Let's see..... "Four officers and half-way handcuffed..." That means the suspect has four hand guns within easy reach. It means he has an impact weapon attached to one of his arms. The officers don't know if they are dealing with a kid who wants a Youtube video or someone with a mental...

    Teens lucky BB gun victim didn't shoot back.

    Under Alabama law... an air gun is classified as a firearm, same as any cartridge gun. Depending on the make/model, they can be just as lethal as a cartridge gun. Fourteen is plenty old enough to know you dont point a weapon at another human being and pull the trigger just for 'grins and...

    LEO training question

    Too True... most cops around here qualify once a year and hardly ever train. Get the 70% passing score and worry about it again next year. I saw a deputy with a Safariland triple-retintion holster take 2 hands and 36 seconds to get his weapon out. on the range, no stress. but someone told...
