    Capt. Dale Dye: Fieldcraft Knives 101

    I was the FO attached to Fox/2/1 in the Nam. Knives were common. Every grunt had a K-A-Bar, and many of us carried something else; Buck, Puma, custom. Company Commander had a easy policy in the field, in the rear K-Bars only.

    Pigeons?

    Sky rats, pure and simple. The city ones are diseased and filthy. Couldn’t pay me enough to touch one, let alone stick a fork on one. Stupidest birds in creation. In L.A. they would nest on the floor of parking structures, making chow for the rats and possum.

    Hazardous History. . .

    His ads have been as crappy as Ted Danson’s. Nothing humorous at all, though they they have us rolling on the floor.

    F-15E Strike Eagle’s Defense Of Israel Bolsters The Case For F-15EX

    I would posit that the A-10 is a runner up. Bigger cannon for bigger drones, although the F-15 Is probably better on cruise missiles.

    Traded in my car yesterday.

    Same with Vettes. My 50s versions were sports cars. When I had a 78, they had gone to Hell. Never bought a later model. Too much “electric” this and that.

    Where does your state stand on this 2025 gun ownership map?

    If this was a telephonic poll, I imagine a lot of firearm owners were hesitant to tell someone they own firearms. “Oh, sure, unknown person, I own lots of guns. Need my address for your poll?”.

    Another variable added to the mix...

    The “horrible” trigger pull in DA can be overcome with practice. I was LAPD in the 70s, and all our wheelguns were DA. I was a strong sharpshooter and occasionally ventured into Expert territory. Strong pull to the trigger break and then gentle.

    Smooth bore 44 caliber revolver from 1887

    There were a lot of Wild West shows touring. But I imagine that there pistol belonged to a “sharpshooter “!

    Shoulder Holsters for Concealed Carry: Boom or Burden?

    Concealment…belt rigs risk being spotted if underage one shirt, shouder rigs not so mush. Especially under a suit coat. With a backpack, the waist belt kinda precludes a belt holster.

    End a Home Invasion Before It Starts

    Used to teach this stuff at Basic Car meetings in the 70s. Advised people to trim their hedges to below their windows to make burglars visible and to make hedges out of stuff with thorns!

    Detecting a Tail and What to Do Next

    Had a sister Officer who was followed home and ended up shot in a gunfight. They do not like us. Be spatially aware. Had some clown, back in the 70s, following me and twice try to run me off of the freeway in L.A. third time I displayed my ,38 as he headed my way and he took off. Be aware...

    Where does your state stand on this 2025 gun ownership map?

    IMO, outside of the coastal cities, I imagine Kali is very blue. At least it was when I I fled to Utah in 2001. The left was predominant from San Diego to Eureka

    North American Arms Plug

    Back in the day, the .32 was what the majority of folks carried, especially in the Black community. Saw a number of perps holed with one shot ending the fight. Suspects must be made of sterner stuff nowadays, needing multiple holes from a 9 or larger. Fact of the matter is that my grandfather...
