    December 6th and December 7th

    I believe almost all bases use contract security nowadays, except perhaps Guard bases. I was the PMO at Camp Roberts CA for 7 years and my MPs came from a Cal Guard MP Brigade in Northern California. Many of them were cops in real life , so were decent. That was 30+ years ago.

    True…but the advent of TikTok has accelerated the stupidity. Remember the TT Tide Pid challenge, and those that follow. In a China is an educational channel, here, anything but!

    EDC Options (part 1 of 2)

    Llama was one of three manufacturers of Spanish steel into the 80s, others were Astra and Star. All went under with Interarms. Personally, I occasionally carry a Firestar 40, compact single action auto. Works for me.

    Hornady Backcountry Defense Review — Bear Defense Ammo

    Considering a 38-40 is almost a ballistic duplicate of the 40 S&W, maybe with some better hardcast bullets…..Hmmm.

    Law enforcement responding after 2 National Guard members shot near White House

    I bet their rifle had an empty mag. They would have to load another mag and chamber a round. Hopefully, I am wrong, but that is what my NG MPs had to do.

    What’s for Thanksgiving?

    Just the two of us this year. A 10 pound turkey, mashed spuds, stuffing and yams plus strudel for dessert. I make the potatoes and strudel, rest is my wife’s bailiwick and I have learned to keep out of it. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone and remember the reason why we celebrate.
