Duppie

Yeah, but there's that 5 second delay,ample time to hit the dump button.

Dennis has commented several times about going hunting and even going to a range {SS?}with his co host Judy and having a ball.

I agree,it was also reported that her husband had died on Christmas from cancer. No one in their right mind would pursue this case.

They weren't drunk enough. I've been to Helsinki several times, nice but I like the lake country instead. The Finns are very unique in the fact that they are essentially reinventing themselves after all the years of being an annex of Sweden and Russia.

I did for 2 years and I'm back....After the initial "Wow, this is cool" it dawns on you just how good we've got it in the States.I guess the one thing I hated the most was being put in the position of having to defend America and her policies every time the overly polite Scandinavians had too much to drink and the facade dropped away. That frequently included "your country's irrational romance with guns"

Now you're talking!!! black bean noodles and kalbi. There's also Pick Nick garden next to HMart that is an all you can eat Korean Grill restaurant that has plenty room as well as IchiUmi in the Menlo park mall for all you can eat Sushi and Asian.

It's basically the same in Norway where you have to take home your rifle and side arm but the Obermeister of the district holds the firing pins.

Hmm..no.Switzerland,Sweden and Denmark remained neutral in that part of the world even though Denmark was occupied and formed a resistance.

I am a rather aggressive driver but safe and when I'm transporting to and from the range, I turn into your high school driving instructor and then some. Needless to say that it would not compensate for other less tactile drivers and I could still be a victim of an accident but since Murphy and I are well acquainted,I try to minimize as much exposure as possible.

Not exactly an ideal way to win friends and influence people but c'est la vie........

Hell, I still do everything you've described only because I lived in Washington Heights, first wife had a brother in the Ghost Shadows and I'm only 1/4 Chinese.

You are quite correct....you don't need our approval as you've pointed out.. twice. But to effectively do your job you do need and want the trust and respect of the law abiding folks you have sworn to protect and serve.Unfortunately your post, perhaps erroneously ,only succeeded in reinforcing the notion that some cops only want to do their 20 and cover their asses sacrificing our basic rights in the process. I am afraid of you but maybe that's the way you want it. Stay safe.

Oh I do understand all too clearly...That is why on average there are 1k lawyers that pass the bar for every doctor that gets his or her license. hardly great odds.

Thank you,that would indeed explain the amount of ex LEO firearms on the market. But if the firearms are deemed unreliable for the law enforcement sector,by selling them to the public sector, isn't that somewhat of a double standard?Please don't misunderstand,I would snap the right one up in a heartbeat but it just seems strange to me.

Same as a motor bike or SUV/Pickup I would suppose. Firearms unloaded,carried discreetly in a suitable case and ammo in the same or seperate case. I would lock either the gun case or the firearms themselves as I do when transporting in my wagon or SUV. Yes, I load all of my mags and speedloaders.

Now you've broached my question, How often does a department swap out their guns and why? Is it a scenario where an upgrade is warranted even if the upgrade is rather esthetic in nature? ie:gen 3 Glock for Gen2. Or is it a case where existing firearms become old to the point of possible liability to LEOs.

Yes. I did see them and had the opportunity to fire my friends .40. very well made and balanced but just didn't sit right in my hands.I'm rather stuck on a revolver instead but the 4506 are excellent deals plus CDNN is where I purchased my Sig mags and their shipping prices are among the cheapest around.

Home defense. Range stress relief. Noisy neighbors and their noisy pets.

I have a couple more PPPs to burn and was toying with the idea of obtaining an older S&W revolver. In the process of looking it occurred to me that there are quite a few gently used,barely fired LEO trade in's available that encompass every thing from old S&W revolvers to modern Glocks and just about everything in between. My question is how often does an average department revamp their armaments and if most of the guns are gently used or 98% then why do so at all. Revolvers I understand especially in the age of semi automatics but Glocks,Sigs and HKs?

Very nice,I was so tempted but am attached to my old Valantine that have literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars and driving privileges over the years and miles.

Gun related: 500 rounds of USA Ammo 9mm, Zippered gun rugs from Midway,precision hammer with brass head. Non gun related: Bottle of Quinta do Castelinho ruby port 1989.Tojiro 111/2 inch Nakiri knife,2lbs of Blue Bottle Cafe espresso beans. Dinner at Purple Yam in Brooklyn. It's been a good Christmas.

I just ordered another 500 rounds of 9mm.

I only own 3 guns but when I get to the range I take 2, either my SIG double action and the .357 revolver or recently my new CZ and the SIG. usually put 100/150 rounds through each and switch every change of target so the transition between the types of triggers is smoother ,at least to me.

I just recently received my replacement FID and the folks at my local KINKOS was kind enough to trim,laminate and trim again so that it's now barely larger than my driver's license and with me at all times.

Please....I didn't elaborate on the effect simmering black truffle oil has on me, so I still kept it clean.
