No, not Portsmouth. PHOENIX (AP) - About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday—the latest incidents in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near...

I think you misread me a bit, SgtBill. I probably should have been more specific. The OP asks about a "police-type force", not a taxpayer-supported organization with an unlimited budget. I'd still go with the 9mm Springfield for the safety and economy. If I was the Richmond Chief of Police...

I was 8, and my older sister was freaking out because she wanted to go. Problem was, we were so damned far north of Bethel that there was no way anyone could have gotten there with the thruway shut down. That, and Dad informed her ass that there was no way on Earth that he would permit his only daug...

Just a thought.

And we should have brought Tojo to the US to stand trial for criminal acts, right? Sorry, but your Code Pink loses to my Navy Blue.

Ive been stripper fishing on the Bridge Tunnel and have routinely caught crabs on the first and second islands!

Bienvenu! Mon grandpere et grandmere weren't Quebecoise, but they were from the Kingston area, and I grew up within view of the St. Lawrence. I'm comfortable claiming to be the only person here who has repeatedly skated to another country. Move to Virginia Beach. It's much safer from a crime standpo...

The only time I ever intend to OC is as a protest. Until then, I prefer to keep the upper hand by CC'ing. Why let them know what your capabilities are? Worse yet, why tempt some illegal alien or crackhead to smack you in the back of the head with a can of Bush's baked beans in the Food Lion so that ...

I dont really see it as any different than carrying a Glock w/ one in the chamber. Plaxico Burress would disagree with you. The difference is the backstrap safety, which a Glock does not have. You can fire a Glock by clamping it in a vise and pulling back on the trigger with a pencil. You can't do ...

9mm wins over .40 due to availability and economy of ammo, as it does over .45. We're talking daily-carry sidearms for guys who are just barely able to qualify, so the smart thing to do is give them as many rounds as you can, and the 9mm wins again. Let the shooters carry their favorite sidearm, but...

Why carry a 5 or 6 shot .38 in the same place you can carry a 14 shot 9mm? There really are no low-recoil .45's, so your options fall to 10mm, 40, and 9mm. Wheelguns are pretty, and they are great at the range, but who wants to reload twice when you don't have to? The 9mm is back on target much quic...

I'd issue XD 9's, but rotate a few .50 cal Desert Eagles through the schedule just to make the crackheads think.

Spring steel is spring steel. The notion that a mag spring will fail due to being loaded is a theoretical fallacy.

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Moccasin!

One of 2 Navy ratings which have registered associations.

For what it's worth, from Day 1 here, I thought he already WAS a Moderator. Great choice.
My only question is...What took so long?
Congrats, zephyp, and don't let this turn you into an uppity prima donna, okay?

The one centerfire which I can claim to be a certified gunsmith on. The M61A1 and A2 are actually capable of 7,200 RPM, but there is no feed system capable of feeding it at that rate. Being 20mm, it's officially a cannon. The old Tomcat slogan used to be "There is no kill like a guns kill"...

It's kind of funny how there's always plenty of Wolf ammo to be had.... almost like it's unwanted or something :whistle: :blink: That should get the Wolf ammo flames started :roll: :confused: It's fine, as long as you don't need to shoot to the weapon's capabilities, and you don't mind cleaning. I'...

She's a beaut! Not having looked it up, how light is "lightweight"? I like the no-snag rear sight, also.

Yankee or Rebel, Redneckery knows no bounds. This happened not far from where I grew up.

One of those words which kids come up with. For the few of us which have ever uttered it, it meant pretty much anything from adenoids to hemorrhoids to tonsils to appendixes to testicles. I only chose it because it's funnier than hell to say. Funnier than when the hogs ate our little sister. Funnier...
