I was an ASP instructor and found them mediocre as compared with a straight Koga baton -my preference was for the 'pool cue jab' rather than a limb strike. The old Winchester/Magnum expandable batons were very effective for striking but very heavy. I found that the Streamlight SL-20 flashlight...

Many people buy 'home defense' firearms as more of a talisman than a tool. I would suggest that the behaviors listed so far that many of us see as appalling or negligent regarding maintenance, training and knowledge of legal use of firearms would be a majority rather than a minority. I often...

Walking home from junior high, past a drugstore that sold 3.2 beer back in the 70's and the Coors guy had cases stacked unattended by the back of the truck :p . That six-pack and a Matchbox car I lifted when I was about 6 were the two things I ever stole (besides hearts!:love:)

Carville should walk into the sunset hand in hand with Karl Rove. While both are more intelligent and relevant than the human hickey on a hemorrhoid known as Michael Moore, they are way past their expiration date and need to be discarded.

Parole was my post retirement career. Retired from that a year earlier than planned. 27 dirty u/a and you don't get revoked? Possession of fenty & firearm and you don't get revoked? "If you're banging your head on the wall and it hurts, a reasonable person would......." You have my respect for...

Yes definitely two different aspects. Considering that at time he was 3 years recovered from having a heart attack & a stroke it was impressive as hell. He was a great man, flew rescue birds in Vietnam and in Greenland and after retiring from the Air Force, flew lead planes for the Forest...

My Father In-Law's only pistol was a BHP he'd picked up at the BX during his Air Force career. For whatever reason he didn't care for shooting it and asked me to find a quality revolver. I found a sweet little S&W M-15 that we took out on the range at the store we bought it from. He was in his...

I carried a .45 LW Commander before my first retirement and was issued a G23 in .40 for the job I retired from two years ago. When I was shooting lots of Steel Challenge the .40 G22 was my favorite as it combined higher capacity with decisive hits on falling steel. I gave my Browning Hi Power...

Well, I like Swiss chocolate and respect the Belgians for their "little grey cells" (Kudos if you know the grey cell reference without searching;) )

Well said. Excellent post.

Just got back home after a weeks trip to Ft. Lauderdale. Met my Son and his daughter and some other family down there and we did a nice B&B, ate some seafood, got sandy, took pictures of a sleepy pelican backlit by the moon. Wonderful trip with beautiful sunny weather & got back to Colorado in...

Born-Southern Colorado Currently-Same (for my sins) Ideally, I'll end up Somewhere around Jacksonville, Fl. I like the area and the fact that while it doesn't get extremely cold there is seasonal change. The Intercoastal Waterway is awesome and being able to catch an Amtrak up the coast to the...

What other Civil Rights will he be voting to price out of existence?

If you want true entertainment, work at a range that does subgun rentals. :p

My Dad was one of 11 brothers and sisters. Used to go back to the home town every summer to visit the clan and fish for walleye, plus once I got to age 12, Dad would pull me out of school and we'd go up to hunt pheasants. Mostly the Aunts and Uncle's were very successful and from the outside...
