    Do you watch "The Bachelor""

    Come on guys--It's a damn TV show!! Nothing "real" about it. I did find it funny that the Dad told his daughter that "man are dirtbags" I tell my 12 year old that "All man are scum" Must be a Daddy thing;) Before you all start the flamethrowers she doesn't listen to me anymore than her mother...

    Homeland Insecurity-Training of Guards at Nuclear Arms Plants Inadequate

    Lawdog is correct; I make over $20.00 an hour and our training exceeds that of most L. E. agencies in this area. We use local off-duty deputies in outlying areas and at the gate to our parking lots because they do not have the required training mandated by the goverment.

    Homeland Insecurity-Training of Guards at Nuclear Arms Plants Inadequate

    WT- That is a typical tactic of the TV news, they go to a nuclear plant, go thru a open gate to property owned by the power company and drive around with their cameras claiming they got in the plant and look how lax the security is. What they don't say is that they are only on property that is...

    Is there Shall Issue CCW in NC and VA?

    From what I have heard about our schools you can pick a county and go to work anywhere in the state. I have had a CCW in both North and South Carolina and the requirements are the same for the most part. Good luck where ever you go.

    Talon 3-Finger Carpenter (shooter) gloves.

    Thanks for the replies, sounds like I'm in the market for a new handgun. The current issue is the S&W 4043 and when purchased the Factory rep. offered the individual officers a pretty good deal so I have two. Will try and trade one for a XD9 if we do not get a similar deal offered from...

    Springfield XD ???s

    The company that I work for has decided to issue 9mm Springfield XDs after the first of the year. We had one at the range during our last training cycle but we didn't have time really check it out (shot one mag out of it). Anyone here have one? What is the general opinion of the gun (not the...
