USPSA @ CJ 9-11-11
So far it looks like the weather should be good enough on Sunday. We are doing 4 classifiers and 3 normal stages. Fees are normal fees + $5 to cover the 4 classifier stages.

So this is why cops become cops?
Agreed, criminal charges would be stupid. He should definitely be disciplined, and it sounds like he was. In this neck of the woods, porn or porn like activity while in uniform is one of the few things that sticks as a firing without a lot of fanfare once your bad behavior in uniform makes the news.

Article: CCW for LEOE's
Law enforcement as a political entity comes out against CCW for the average joe time and time again. They want every advantage they can get against the "them" part of the us and them equation. If I can't get CCW reform now, I'd definitely sign on for sticking them with the exact same set of rules we have as that will quickly either shut them out of the CCW discussion or stop them form being an adversary when it comes to the issue. I don't bash for the sake of bashing, but you get to own the problems you cause.

Apex Tactical Competition Kit
It's not as good as a good custom trigger job, but is better than a mediocre custom trigger job. So overall, not bad.

US Military Aiming for a New Pistol to Replace the M9
I think you may be thinking of the Joint Combat pistol contest which fizzled out several years ago. I believe the cliffs notes will be interchangable with this go round though.

I dont know how to feel about this one
Your interpretation of the situation is really dependant on how big the rocks were. A nice fist sized rock form an overpass is a lethal weapon.

Addition to the reloading bench
You just need to get your bench organized. You could have everything I can see in that pic in place and usable in half that bench (including the storage space underneath). That whole bench would make it comfy. You just need to get comfy with a process for what you load a lot and organize around that process. But heck, you could do half that bench presses, half as prep, and have three serious presses on one end, msot of your prep stuff out and ready to roll most of the time, and components, spare parts, and your tumbler underneath.

Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff
I use them. The NRR isn't so hot, and the delay in cut out is a bit on the slow side. Performance is similar to quite a few competitors that sell for a whole lot more, which is why reviews sound good. Myself, I use them for indoors on top of disposable foam plugs with a 33db NRR rating. I can hear conversations much better, but the comped open guns are much more bearable. For outdoors, I use just the plugs and a hit with a brim. They are worth the money, I just haven't met a set of amplified muffs that are good to go as primary hearing protection.

Irene....how did u guys hold up??
Lost power briefly probably a dozen or more times. Got about a gallon of water in the basement due to a newer unpatched crack. Wind pulled a gutter away from the roof causing all the water to be dumped in the middle of the kitchen roof, which caused a leak in the kitchen. So at the very least nead to patch the roof and patch the ceiling.

M&P40 -> M&P9 - conversion barrel
It will probably work, but there are issues. 1) Don't forget the magazines. 9mm in 40 mags does not run well despite potentially working poorly. 2) The breech face angle cut into the slide differs between 9mm and 40mm. This can cause issues for some people. All the below reuire you to buy 9mm magazines. Most reliable conversion - buy a 9mm top end. Midway sells them for about $250-260 for the plain old iron sigts. About $300 for night sights. NExt best - buy a conversion barrel form storm lake. AFAIK, They cut the bore off axis to account for the breech face angle being different. It's 100% for most, 95% for a lot more. Least best - buy a 9mm barrel and drop it in. YMMV.

Lakewood Break In and HD w/Glock
Myself, I was going with this as the most questionable line: "Seconds later, a Lakewood Officer with his gun drawn ran up to the burglar and told him to freeze, while the officer held him at gunpoint waiting for backup to arrive." Seconds? I mean you can enumerate the time since the dinosaurs roamed the earth in seconds if you really wanted to I guess.

8-11 CJRPC USPSA special classifier match.
Kind of sort of maybe both. Have to do some math, but it will probably be 4 of the smaller classifiers doubled up in two pits and three normal stages. Depends on if we can find 4 that are narrow enough, still valid, and short enough.

I have no words...
The video isn't that shocking. The shoot house portion looks pretty normal for team training, although it is hard to say withough being able to see it without the wall obstructing the view of most of what is going on. The main thing that seems off is that there seems to be a pretty wide gap in skill levels with the various guns in terms of shooting performance fro the degree to which they were pushing the limit on showing off with muzzle discipline. Also, on some of the muzzle discipline exercises, it looks like there were bystanders wandering around in the back getting swept during a live fire exercise. that jsut seems like unnecessary risk IMO. You don't want muzzle discipline to be learned in a real life scenario, so you have to train. That doesn't mean that you just ignore making the range as safe as possible, especially for those not shooting at the time.

What is the deal with amunition labled "for LE use only"
The only thing i can think of is taht sales of firearms directly to departments and agencies are exempt from the firearms and ammunition excise tax. Ammo might be the same way, so LEO only ammo might not have had the excise tax paid on it. Just a guess.

Good Digital SLR Camera
Absolutely the wrong way of looking at it. A body has at best a lifespan of a couple hundred thousand shutter clicks before it has to be refurbished. If you are into action shots, you can go through that VERY fast. My first body was rated for 100k + clicks. I got out to maybe 4 "actiony" things a year, plus a couple of picture taking trips and some in home stuff to mess with controlled lighting. I got it up to 80,000 clicks in 3 years. On the other hand, I have some good old glass that is 20+ years old. I shoot pentax, as i like the in body stabilization, the ability to use even old screw mount lenses, i agree with their engineers about how much processing should be done to an image before it leaves the camera (not much), and there used to be lots of good, affordable used glass out there. That's drying up. The down side is that you are pretty much stuck buying online or visiting B&H or adorama in the flesh, and the flash system is craptastic. Also the company is always flirting with financial ruin, although it seems ot have mroe lives than a lucky cat. Regardless of what you buy, for the body, what is worth spending money on is high iso performance. Good high iso performance means you can take a lot of pictures you might otherwise miss. I have a pentax k-5 currently, and it'll go up to iso 51,200, which is insane. It doesn't look nice, but for some technical stuff it is useful. However, iso 3200 on it is absolutely amazing, and 6400 is pretty usable. If pentax went poof, I'd probably go with a nikon d7000.

8-11 CJRPC USPSA special classifier match.
Sorry guys, when I got up it looked like the band of red was going to pass to the north. When I got there it was a nice drizzle for about 45 minutes. Then everything shifted east and despite the better drainage, the pits flooded. I think folks should stop letting me call the match. Last 3 times I called it on weather, it was decent the next day. This time not so much.

8-11 CJRPC USPSA special classifier match.
YEah, double check your gps route with google maps at the very least. We had one person's wife bring him his belt he forgot. Her GPS sent her someplace her vehicle was not meant to go. So some GPSs may have issues finding the place. but from sayreville, get on 9 south. In freehold, take the w. main street exit that is after the freehold mall entrance. Turn right at the light. Driiiiiiive for a while. You'll get to a 4-way intersection with a light, a sunoco station and anothe gas station and strip mall. Turn left. Drive. You will hit a 4 way intersection with a light and there will be a bar on the corner that is painted gray and purple. Turn right. Drive. You will see a VERY sharp turn to the left with a small building that is now som sort of hunting/fishing/sproting goods place that says we sell ammo on it. Turn left. Keep an eye out of rthe yellow entrance sign on the right, it's easy to blow past.
