Actually, not in years. I90 and the vermin from Seattle area triggered my rant.

** Other than the military, commercial vehicles are the priority users of the Interstate and US highway system. Cars are ancillary users. The two tiered speed limits and heavily governed and often under powered trucks are the main cause of this kind of problem. If 5 axle (80K pounds max) semi...

Most states you can; the model traffic code is generally in use in most places.

I used to stop folks for that when I had time. They were amazingly ignorant about the law (in many ways). About the only one I gave a warning is the one whose kid to him I would likely stop him. I preferred nights and some number of these folks were impaired. Most were just stupid. The majority...

My recollection is that CDNN is well established and credible.

I used to have the write-up of the FBI research on that. They found that 5.56 duty ammo was far less likely to penetrate typical house walls than typical handgun duty ammo. The risks of over-penetration are over stated anyway. It is much less of a problem if you don't miss. Dumping a significant...

When I was an undergrad in the late 70s, the library at my school had the "FBI LawEnforcement Journal" in its collection. There was at least one and I think more scathing reviews about trigger shoes on duty weapons and the dangers they presented. Loosening was one; a gun tied up when in a...

I suspect "comp major" is their way of saying it makes "major" according to the power standards for practical competition.

I keep getting calls from Allstate for some reason. All that does is make them an enemy. One started off with "this is (name)from Allstate, how are you today?" My answer tends to be something like "I was doing fine until I got this scam phone call", and hang up. Depending on the scam (as I...

Most of our deliveries go to the PO. We use the street address for the PO with our box # because we don't get mail at the house and packages cannot be safely left.

LAPD approves ONE .380 load for off duty/BUG use as far as I know; I can't recall what it is. I have little faith in adequate penetration/expansion from most .380 HPs in my G42, so I carry the Black Hills version of the Lehigh load. The vast majority of my carry ammo is from Black Hills. It is...

Most of the time, you will be well served by having a permit from your state of residence. In addition to my LEOSA quals, I have some non-resident permits; IMHO, the two most valuable are Florida and Utah.

Round nose is not your friend for anything other than making empties to reload. Cheap-ish, easy to shoot and reasonably effective without counting on the iffy expansion of most.38 HP in a short barrel are standard wadcutters and SWC.

The closer you remain to stock, the better off you will be.

Take a look at the research. The smaller shot tends to not have sufficiently reliable penetration especially when the offender is wearing heavier clothing (cooler weather). There is a reason that the ballistic gurus tend toward #1 buck, and the most LE agencies go with 00 or slugs. "Over...

I am planning to sell my Vang Comped 590A1 after I get my medical crap out of the gun room and can reorganize some stuff. Nothing wrong with, but I broke my left shoulder (I'm a lefty) and it took a surgical repair (take it from me, don't do that; not griping about the medical care, but the...

When we used to do joint ops at Fairchild for their Open House, I was fascinated by the C5s and their touch and goes. Fighters showing off is one thing; we should not be surprised that they are agile. That big freighter though? Just wow. I will never fly again; just got my kidney transplant and...

Nope. I suspect it is more related to the sissification of society and a plentitude of people who think they should display their ignorance.

I prefer the Centennial style shrouded hammer because it will work better for pocket carry, and TO ME, a J frame is a BUG only. Likewise stainless. It seems to me from the photo that this new 940 has better sights than the usual J frame, reminding me of ... a 640? Don't recall. I have a 940 and...

It is a scam. Period. Do not engage.
