Well, I have been muddling through the last 6 weeks of the CJA waiting for Firearms Week. Now I get Floyded out. We spent 8 hours at the range yesterday, working in three shooting groups.. less than 3 hours actual range time. This morning I got to run through the qualification course once (as...

Recently here at the CJA, the whole class ran an obstacle course with our duty belts. One of the obstacles was a tunnel that we had to crawl through. The bottom of the tunnel was open, which put us scampering over a surface of pea-gravel, dirt and very fine dust. The class is carrying a...

Okay, I guess that got your attention... Yes, it is me, "Rob"..... For the past two days I have sat in a class being lectured on 4th amendment issues by an assistant district attorney. Yesterday, she asked a question about frisks and was greeted with a chorus of answers, most of which included...

About a week and a half ago, I was taken out to the range with several other new recruits from the PD that I will be working full-time for. The instructor and I had talked extensively about firearms and training, and he had warned me that this was going to be a very basic session, to introduce...

Originally I had planned on Spending this coming Tuesday through Sunday in South Carolina on an awesome Deer hunting festival. The limit in SC's "Low country" is Two deer per day, with any weapon. As a bonus, the deer will still be in velvet. I have never taken a deer in Velvet and I am really...

I learned of something today that I had never heard of before. haveI been in a hole or is this not a well publicized issue? I bounced through a link on a search engine to a list of the handguns produced after 1985 that are authorized to be in Maryland. Aparently if the gun isn't on the list, it...

Okay, as I pack this afternoon for my trip North, I realized that I have a bit of a problem. In fact, I have been mulling this over for a couple weeks, but now I must make a decision. Remember, regardless of how long this thread lasts, I'll only be able to factor in ideas from the next 24 hours...

Okay, who's been shooting recently? I went out to the range today with my beloved --no-- .... With my Cherished--nope... With my often carried ..--uhhhhhhh-- with my sorta okay (yeah, that's it!) PT-99! What's that? No wistful sigh of Envy? Oh, that was a scoff then, was it?? Well, I...

I worked at the 1994 Woodstock Festival. I was on a private security contract escorting VIPs from the backstage area out into the "festival". It was dirty, choatic, but kinda fun. There was some looting, much like what is being described now.. vendors booths & storage areas. There was contained...

As part of a premature mid-life crisis and self-worth analysis, I am (as alluded to in another thread) giving up my free-wheelin', own-schedule-setting, living month-to-month gloriously free self-employed life to become a full time LEO. This has probably been put off for about 10 years with...

Who can tell me anything about this round?

I have my reasons for asking. ;) I have a DA/SA full size .45 USP and I like it a lot. I am wondering if anyone has a DAO full size USP and can tell me how horrible it is when you are trying to shoot fast and accurately. I realize that no sane person would choose to have a gun like this, but...

Who's seen it? I have, and it is good. It features Newman reading a newspaper article about two kids who find their parents guns and one shoots the other. Then he looks up at the camera and stares.. cut-away to the "Cease Fire" Logo and a voice over stating something like: "Before you bring a...

Okay, it looks like I may be relocating. It is my impression that Virginia is relatively gun friendly. Am I missing anything? Are any particular rifles or handguns banned (as in NJ)?? What is required to get a CCW? Is there is any limit/restriction/wait period involved in purchases, beyond...

I heard Gore this morning on CNN discussing his plan to institute a Photo-ID and registration system for all firearms purchases. Will you participate? I will, simply becuase I will not be "inconvenienced" or "principaled" out of buying firearms. I'm sure the anti's would be just as happy if we...

Okay, I finally broke down today at teh Gun show and bought one of these beauties. I've heard a lot of good things about this gun, in fact, I haven't heard this much good stuff since the USP came out. I just ran 100 rounds through my new P99 (.40, of course), and (after some long term T&E) I...

I read it last week and was wondering if anyone has.
