same answer the last time this question was asked.

I have found myself disagreeing with Pizza Bob on this forum many times, but this post is right on target. Getting rid of all the entertainment from the reported super cop above, the basic elements of this event is the illegality of the stop in the first place. The Directive 137 shows that PA is off base here and not only is the city of Philadelphia in trouble, the state may be as well. That directive is dated 9/10... and has glaring issues in it. I see this case effecting Harrisburg as well. By the way what is "...POSSIBLE VUFA VIOLATION"

I saw that Mark was working with suburban PDs in Bucks County, not Philly PD directly. Please agree to disagree on this with me, I dont like how he went about his business, even though I agree with his goals. The main subject is the OC right, the infringement and petty reprisal not Mark's methods.

Shane... I always hate hearing or reading that expression, it makes me cringe, but it is very true. It is the reality of human existence, there are some people out there that are just evil to the core. My wife had a friend in college, that was always slightly off beat. He was not the problem. His SO was. The SO was evil to the bone and tried to drag my wife into numerous scams and illegal activities through her relationship with his lover, her college friend. If this guy had put half his energy into running a legit business he would have made millions, he was that motivated, slick and intelligent. So as my wife manages to seperate herself from this situation is when it went bad, and it took some uninvited visits from him and subsequent conversations between him and me and Mr Louisville before I decided that his next uninvited visit was going end in him taking an extended dirt nap. He wisely never gave me the chance to ruin my life. He died two years later in a house fire. Somehow the fire started in the garage where someone had accidently plugged in a electric heater, with a rag drapped over it right near some paints. His bedroom was right next to that garage wall. I still hope and pray he was awake the whole time the house burned down on top of him. Some people just need killing...

My wife and I worked as contractors at the CDC when we lived in Atlanta. She was there about 10 years and made some great friends there. She still keeps in touch with them. She sent a few folks a WTF message yesterday regarding this and everyone is stating this is tonque in cheek.... anything to get attention to people taking responsibility for themselves. One thing is that at FEMA there are numersou reports that more survivors were prepared for the tornadoes in the SE because of "zombie preparedeness" then any serious hurricane, flood, tornado etc PSAs that have been put out. This is a good thing for everyone.

I have hd that some conversation many times and it never ceases to amaze me the people that fall into the ostrichs vs lemur mindsets. Ostrichs stick their heads in the sand as everyone knows, Lemurs watch everything, listen intently and adapt to any challenges or threats.

I thought that was his tombstone.

i dont think so, because it is not a folder. What is you all's thoughts.

At least this thread got put to some use

Columbians are peasants only.... I am sure their Spec Ops and Drug Interdicts would be happy to show you their abilities. Cmon your better then that... Peruvians are peasants.

Jack... the "Typical do what i say mentality..." is being taught at the academies because in the end every LEO wants to go home at the end of their shift, no captain wants to go visit a newly made widow or console a child whose father or mothers is not coming home. I sometimes feel as is you all, my brothers in the 2a fight sometimes forget a little bit that we are talking about dangerous weapons here. Yes, in theory a man walking down the street with a holstered weapon does and should have the right to pass peaceablly, just like the man walking to the hardware store to get his axe sharpened. But there is always going to be more scutiny on the OC individual then the axe carrying potentail zombie. Because 50+% of the citizens of this country are scared of handguns. Why, because the government and media has trained them to be that way. But that is the way it is, until we get to a point where everyone is comfortable with open carry of handguns. Our rights were erased by the criminals in our forefathers times... NY was one of the most free wheeling gun cities of all time, until they passed the laws to remove guns from criminals hands... little did the city leaders at the time (one of my personal favorites Teddy Roosevelt was involved) realize what they were doing, laying the groundwork for modern days gun prohibition. How about Wyatt Earp and Tombstone... no open or concealed carry there. Even for lawful citizens. It is going to be a hard fight to educate 50% of the country, and one way to insure it fails is to piss off the students.

Please understand what I am saying here.... and Bob and I went back and forth on this in the earlier thread. I agree with everything this guy did, except when the rubber hit the road, he acted poorly, as did the initial responding officer. After listening to the recording many times and reading his threads I just get the feeling that he always had in the back of his mind the idea of laying a trap for monetary gain. He never says it... And I have no proof. It is purely a vibe you get from reading statements he has made.

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20110516_Man_who_clashed_with_cops_over_legal_gun_was_also_armed_with_audio_recorder.html Seems as if the Philly ADA has his panties in a wad over this case. I agree with the police on this one, this guy was out to educate (setup) the philly cops. I agree with his motives and beliefs, I disagree entirely with his operations. Flame suit on once again.....

Blackwater. And I remember them fondly. They worked as security for BellSouth restoration team and BellSouth logistic / living areas during the Katrina restoration efforts. I made some friends in their group and learned some interesting bits of information and tricks.

The targets are FBI QIT Targets.... the Q zone is tight. You only get full score for Q zone clean hits, anything outside or line is 2 points, not 5. The Q zone is about the width of A on IPSC, but you get the vertical string also up also, which is more realistic. See attached pics.

This was the Post 911 FAMs test. Sorry for any confusion and I will change wording to reflect that. All shooting is at 7yards.

All, Last year I took part in a fun shoot in which the morning was shot on steel then in the afternoon some of the more devoted stayed around and we shot the post 9/11 Fed Air Mashal Qualification Test. This is the test that was given to FAM candidates after a few weeks of instruction. I do not know all the particulars, but my understanding is that fewer then 20% of the candidates passed this test. I cant tell you from my run at it, it is challenging and you had better know your gun, equipment and how to shoot. I shot this with a SIG P6 that I loved, until this test exposed the weakness in this gun in my hands. I was just not fast enough no accurate enough quickly to overcome it's design and my left handedness. I believe this is an excellent string of fire for people to prove to themselves that they can or cannot fight with a handgun. I have attached the pdf of the scoring sheet on the first tab and description on the second tab. Please note this is a time as well as accuracy score. 30 shots fired, must score >=135 to pass as well as shoot all stings in under 33.8 seconds total. I would love to do this again, I dont think I could RO it, but I would help organize this if someone would step up to RO. We could do it at SJSC is someone could get us in or at CJ. I am not a member at either but I believe both have great action pits. AirMarshallQualTest.pdf

I don't know enough on these guns yet to give really good advice. I would go ask this question at m14tfl.com. those are the experts

Can't wait to get back and have Uncle Axeman cuddle her. Trying to find a GLOCK jones outfit now.

Full review????

Buy ammo... shoot ammo.... repeat. That's all. No need to break in a tac shotgun. It is more important you get used to manual of arms and where your gun impacts with you point of aim.
