My BEST GUN is the gun on me when needed I carried S&W revolvers many years as a police officer, all magnums either .357 or .44. I have a respectable collection of handguns, the majority being Smith & Wessons HOWEVER, following retirement I have always had a .32 Seecamp in my pocket whenever...

I was in the Navy, aboard ship they provided a long metal chute ( similar to a feed trough ) with a flow of water running downhill.

I have spent the night in some pretty primitive Campgrounds, but this one is too primitive for me.

My wife informed me I made an error in my previous post, I stated a cup of stones were removed by surgery and one looked like an apricot pit, she said it was only about 1 1/2 " covering the bottom of a styrofoam cup, they looked like river rocks other then the big one that resembled a peach pit...

I have had as much personal experience with kidney stones. as I have had with police work.Unfortunately I am a kidney stone producing machine, much of it due to my fault, I hate drinking water and don't do it, I love drinking Sprite and often buy over $100.00 worth at a time when I find a good...

I realize Child pornography is not child molesting but it is in the same neighborhood and usuall a prelude to molesting. The ONE THING all mental health doctors agree upon is that a " CHILD MOLESTER " is the only criminal offense that cannot be rehabilitated.,, if you lock them up for 20 years...

My old memory thinks you are correct, or maybe a 1958 ? I can't recall the changes made between those years. I do recall I had a mother and child in the rear seat running a 3 signal to the hospital ( Baby fell out of chair on head and remained completely silent) The City held off relining the...

Question #1 Not really, I have always loved motorcycles, but riding for pleasure compared to working in traffic for eight hours or being in a precision motorcycle drill team when you must maneuver on unfamiliar narrow streets with 6 riders on each side crossing within one another upon command...

In 1960 there was 26 separate municipalities within Dade County Fl. Each had their own Court House, Fire Dept. Police Dept. causing lots of duplication and inefficiency, yet all the little Mayors, etc did not want to relinquish their opportunity to be a big fish in a little pond, finally as my...

In the 1980 REAGAN/MONDALE debate, Reagan was long in tooth and realized Mondale would try and capilitize on his being old, so Reagan was all set for him by beating to the punch and stating, " I want to be fair and I am not going to hold your youth and inexperience against you " even Mondale had...

Keith, I guess I should add another factor that brings about my decision to carry that six shot " feel good " gun. Within 90 days I will be 84 ( within 16 years of the century mark ) I went on the Miami Police Dept at 29 years of age and have had a handgun on my person every since. I am in very...

I have decided to protect myself with a .45 Single Action revolver, I have a Glock 19 with double action and two 15 round magazines in a shoulder holster plus a variety of other double action guns. Most would not consider anything shy of a double action and lots of available ammo, however, I am...

Doug627, When stated I'm of the old school, I am on the threshold of 84, things were definitely different in my era, how old are you? You might be comparing apples and oranges. I attempted to make the point that showing respect for one another creates a better environment for all.

In this age of instant communication from long distance and the evolving of the Internet Forums I am often reminded of " How things used to be ". I'm of the old school, if we found it necessary to comment on another person we chose to find some admirable aspect of the person and compliment them...

CAUSE OF POLICEMAN'S EMBARRASSMENT While setting up a new workshop I came across this old police cruiser spot light, I forget how many lumens but it has a bunch. This light was standard in Miami, Fl police patrol cars in the early 60's. It was not uncommon for an officer to be using the light...
