    How do YOU Clear a Squib? Bullet stuck in barrel.

    I made a brass rod for my key chain after a (dept supplied) reload squib during training that I paid for out my own pocket.

    Thoughts on Women in Law Enforcement

    I had one F/M Reserve Officer I worked with. Her father was a former full time Officer and both father / daughter were experienced EMTs. She could get compliance because she didn't trigger the "something to prove" instinct in citizen contacts. There were no F/M Officers in the PD at that...

    telephone numbers

    Our landline is one off from a Veterinary Hospital and we get their calls sometimes. We politely tell them they miss dialed and tell them what our number is and the number you want is xxx-xxxx. Sometimes they flub it more than once. Wife has had the landline number since the dark ages.

    NY Reload -- same caliber?

    My FTO carried an ankle gun... the other guys used to bust on him because he carried his old cuff case with the odd drop shape as well as the issue case. "You gonna arrest 2 guys?" they'd say. I happen to know there was a 22 semiauto in that old cuff case which would make three guns.

    NY Reload -- same caliber?

    I believe a NY Reload indicates going to an alternate gun rather than attempting to reload the first gun, whether it be out of ammo or disabled. So that alone does not require the two to be exactly the same caliber although you can argue for interchangeable caliber in the really remote chance...

    Damaged??? SD40VE

    I'd clean it and check the recoil spring looks good. Lube the rails. I'd single feed a cartridge from the magazine & fire it. All good, load and fire 2. If it is functioning ok at that point, I'd load full magazines.

    Clarification - Texas law on LEO contact

    "On or about". As a reasonable man, I'd believe the intent means anything within your reach. Locked in the trunk, you're good to go unless you are behind the car changing a flat.

    MAINE using EZ Pass to fine out of staters?

    The lovely state of MAINE has prohibitted travel from certain other states, including my state of residence. Recent travelers who neglected to inform Maine have returned home to $1000 fines. The supposition is that their EZ Pass information used.

    Daughter in law wants "bedside" gun

    It's hard to fathom her murderer leaving her alone but then he thought he had her secured with the zip ties. It is wrong to second guess the victim who may have run out of time. Defensive plans are best thought of in advance in the clear light of day. Let me suggest an alternative scenario...

    A tragic waste of a perfectly good motorcycle...

    I had a Honda Rebel 450 for a couple of years... My hands started getting numb every time I rode it. I kept the horse and sold the bike. Eventually, I found the cause of the nerve damage.

    Daughter in law wants "bedside" gun

    Besides arming said daughter... I still think... and the OP may already have, discussed other security considerations like turning one or more room into safer rooms with reinforced hinge screws and locks. What constitutes concealment and what offers cover. Powerful flashlights. Calling 9-1-1...

    Charles Schwab Scam

    The scams are endless. The service providers could made a huge dent in it if they tried so I am left to conclude they are making money on it. But we, the people, and people everywhere are the targets of these attacks. I don't like being attacked. It makes me angry. It should make us angry...

    Key rings

    My key rings are set up for one vehicle plus a house key. I changed the house locks so they are keyed alike. Year ago, I carried home, 2 vehicle, plus 2 keys for work. Work was pretty dumb... one building was series keyed with a Master which I had. The second building should have been...

    Charles Schwab Scam

    I get phone scams from real (spoofed) bank branch numbers. And I have an account with that bank. NEVER USE THEIR LINK. ALWAYS LOOK UP THE NUMBER OR EMAIL ON YOUR CARD. The attacks are endless.

    Another gun pointing home owner charged

    I'm suspicious of these looking for pet lost stories. Sorry. Did he leave his phone number? Too many of these cases are linked to breakins. Keep him outside, take his number, id his vehicle, call the Police "suspicious person". Make the report, create a paper trail.
