Not to hijack the other threads on arming teachers and whatnot thought I would include here what I have found researching School Resource Officer (SRO) responses to on campus incidents. I have intentionally not included incidents with SROs that were initiated off campus involving the SRO (e.g...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LqjPNmhahs&feature=youtu.be I went out last Friday afternoon after the ice storm dumped about 3" of ice on us and made the 3.5 hour trek to my place 50 miles away to hunt. Turned out to be a short hunt only about 15 minutes long. First I spied a few deer and...

This was interesting and fortunately not fatal. Lakim Anthony Faust, 23, went on a shooting spree with a shotgun (gauge and ammo not stated in today's news conference and the Chief said the information would not be released at this time). The shooter shot one person in a vehicle in a law firm...

Went after a boar that had been visiting my place. The rains has passed through a few hours earlier and the temperatures were down about 25 degrees to the low 40s and it was due to get into the low 30s. So I hoped the pig would be out and after my corn. I hiked in and passed one feeder to my...

http://www.opb.org/news/article/clackamas-shooter-planned-his-attack/ Jacob Roberts seems to be the type of shooter people fear amongst the most when they talk about gun free zones, gun control, mental health issues, and the like. He is the shooter that nobody could predict. The shooting was...

People often query about how many mass shootings are stopping by gun carriers (CCW or Open). There are few, though maybe more that were stopped before such shootings became mass shootings. However, here is a story about a multiple stabbing incident in Utah that was stopped by a gun carrier...

About 6 weeks ago, I purchased a set of Howard Leight R-01902 Impact Pro Electronic Shooting Earmuffs from Amazon for $72 (now listed for $111). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007BGSI5U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have no idea why the price has increased so much. I purchased...

603Country posted a thread about his pig that disappeared. http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=513656 That thread inspired this thread. So on Thursday night, I shot a small boar that had been visiting for the last couple of weeks. With no available home for it, I decided to feed...

Had lunch with my VFD EMT BIL who told me of an unsual call he went on and asked if I had heard about it. He responded to a gun range for a shooting incident where one of the participants was shot 4 times by another participant in an apparent "accidental" shooting. He and I then chatted about...

I purchased two nylon Law Concealment System holsters (different sizes $57.95 each) to see if they would meet my needs. I had been looking for these for a while and the company had fallen off my radar. I was recently contacted by a vendor via my TFL post and was pleased to be able to get the...

As these topics come up frequently, I thought this was an interesting story. A pawnbroker was holding a robber/shoplifter at gunpoint, but things got out of hand. Gunpoint, as it turns out, isn't as simple as it sounds (which as been the point of several threads). A fight ensued with another...

A buddy has just ordered a FLIR T60 thermal optic to put in front of his optics on various rifles, going with the notion that no-rezeroing is needed because the thermal sight doesn't change the zero of the original daylight optic. This is the position of FLIR as well. The T60 does not mount in...

http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=495786 Some outrage was expressed in the previous thread about deputies doing wrong. Apparently the prosecutor found no wrong doing and is not going to press charges. Deputies knocked on Scott's door while looking for a suspect and Scott...

While it has come up here several times recently that there are major shootings in locations that are not gun-free zones (though some folks continue to relate that mass shootings seem to only occur there), I compiled a short list of mass or intended mass shootings (poor marksmanship resulted in...
