Longmire

Some recent Grashorns that came my way.

Really,really nice.

 

[bassoneer]

Nice grips, and I like the show too. B

After watching the first three episodes, I just couldn't get into Longmire. It also has a slightly anti-gun tilt from some of the character's comments made, and that's enough for me to delete it from series recording on my DVR.

 

[Old Corp]

Yes, I've noticed little quips in the lines on the program - one reference by the female deputy about 'buying AK47's on the internet', and once a reference made about a hunter such as: 'He's the worst kind of hunter - a good one'.
It seems impossible for a show's writer/producer not to interject his own beliefs and morays on a piece of entertainment.

Also note how the Sheriff and his deputies wear their duty weapons. They nearly always wear them in FRONT of their right hip. Ever tried sitting down, or in an automobile like that? Darned uncomfortable. But I'm sure it's all for the camera, so that you don't forget who they are.

And why would the female deputy wear a uniform shirt and place the department badge on her belt?? Too strange.

OK - through pickin' at'em. Like the wife says - 'it's just a show'.

Longmire ---
I thought I would be watching a cop show but it turned out I was watching a soap opera.

Nice grips. He's mighty particular about his work.

I'm trying to enjoy the Longmire show but it isn't that well done. I still watch it though, hoping it'll get better.

I figured someone would point out that L doesn't carry his 1911 "cocked & locked".

Remember one of the early episodes where someone was 'sniping' folks with a 'buffalo rifle'? The rifle was referred to as a 'drop block'. WT??????

Oh yeah - had about forgotten that one. Part of the info was that NO ONE would own anything as enormously 'powerful' as a .45-70. And they enunciated the caliber like it was Latin or something exotic and foreign.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I like it because it is filmed in New Mexico. Can recognize about half the locations. It does have a few anti-gun comments. And there are a lot of 45-70 and other 'buffalo' calibers in NM, drop block, rolling block, trapdoor, you name it. Most of the actual rural law enforcers know that.
A few years ago a gent in NE NM was arrested for having sexual relations with the teen aged girls in his cult. Same thing happened in Texas.
Our Governor carries a 45. Don't know if she carries it cocked and locked.

In my all my days I've never seen a sheriff dress like a ranch hand. Not in New Mexico or Wyoming.

Never saw the show - but the pic looks a little like W.

Spent my LE career in NM and while I have seen Sheriff's dress casually, when not in uniform they usually wear pressed Wranglers and a solid color( white or tan) western shirt that's also pressed. Most sheriffs are retired NMSP or APD, BCSO it seems.

 

[AkRay]

Longmire is no "Walker, Texas Ranger," that's for sure. I haven't made it through an episode yet. Yawn.

You know, it sort of does.

You see them like that quite often around here, and some chiefs of police also.

 

[Nightowl]

By soap opera, you mean the episode where everyone was sleeping with someone they shouldn't have been?

 

[kbm6893]

I like it. Have a few gripes, but when every other channel is "reality" TV, I'm up for anything. Funny how a sheriff's department only has 4 cops, including the sheriff. Do they ever get a day off?

 

[66 shooter]

I have watched it since it came on, fairly entertaining. The "uniforms" are a little off, but I do remember when I was living in Central Montana and NW Wyoming, there were Sheriff's and their Deputies who dressed down from the usual uniforms. We need to remember that the show is geared for the American people who probably believe that image is what Law Enforcement is in the West. If they really showed what being a LEO is out there it would just be Longmire leaving the house each morning and taking several boring rides around the county maybe stopping to talk to some ranchers.

I think the best representation or an "old school" modern day sheriff was the character of Sheriff Ed Tom Bell played by Tommy Lee Jones in No Country For Old Men. Every day he just tooled around minding his own business until things exploded due to a botched drug deal. One great moment was when Bell and his Deputy we looking over the drug deal scene with all of the dead bodies and the Deputy said,"Sheriff, this sure is a mess" Bell looked up and said,"if it isn't it will do until the real mess gets here(meaning the Feds).

 

[SPEEDGUNNER]

I like the grips, where can I get a set or two? Are they readily available? I especially like the ones on the 1911.

I like the show too...Walt Longmire is like a cowboy Clint Eastwood/Columbo type, a very believeable character. Ferg is cool too...
