ATTENTION WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS!!!! The Monroe County Sheriff' - Reserve Division is now accepting applications for RESERVE DEPUTY SHERIFF'S. This is a great opportunity to play an active part in supporting your community. Our current membership includes volunteers who are senior...
I'm a reserve and I work 60-70 hours a month for the department. When I heard the Florida Sheriff's press conference about this I was floored. When I first heard that an SRO was on campus I assumed he was too far away to get into the fight. I'm just floored, it is just beyond my understanding...
You could try Angee's Guns in Bedford. They are new, I believe they opened in January. Selection is not huge but it is varied with Sig, S&W, Glock, Walther, even a Hi-Point for those with a taste for the finer things in life. They are a Colt Authorized Dealer, a Daniel Defense Stocking Dealer...
I use an Alien gear IWB 3.0 and it allows me to tuck my dress shirt in and is completely invisible to the untrained eye. The negative is (as mentioned here) that drawing takes a little more movement then I prefer but I practice a lot in this configuration to help with clearing the shirt and...
I would try Davidson's if you haven't already. I seem to find everything I need from them, even just picked up a Five Seven from them. Also they are not sticky about the store front rules.
I don't think there is one that doesn't end with your widow or estate collecting insurance money
I think your best bet is to set yourself in a way where you can record/video the encounter. It may mean that you are a victim but you would be his or her last victim without having to draw a gun...
The address you use on the application does not have to be a store front but it must be legal to sell guns at that location so if it is your home you need to make sure that there are no zoning laws or home owner association rules that would prevent you from running a business out of your home...
I hate top 10 lists, so ridiculous to me as it is so subjective. My suggestion would be to focus on mindset first, understanding that using a handgun to defend yourself isn't as simple as it sounds nor should it be taken lightly. Once your there ask your self how you will carry (pocket (NO!)...
Glock 19. I have many other guns (as most of you do) but only will carry what a train with. Occasionally I will have a Glock 42 as a back up if what I am wearing allows me to conceal both effectively
I read all eleven or so pages of this post and found it very interesting but devoid of any real solution. My take away from these posts are; leave it alone it will sort itself out and it is my god given right to carry. Both good points by the way.
I advocate training to anyone that asks me, I...
I just saw your message, I don't get on here as much as I'd like. I appreciate the comments and I knew you were not talking about me. I'm a reserve deputy sheriff for Monroe County and work closely with these guys and I just took offense to his comments. I did expect him to come back with...
Yes, yes it is. Its all part of the package you pay for. I mean do you have a problem paying firefighter's salaries when they aren't fighting fires? They sit around on those comfy couches all day waiting to get called out. Not sure my tax dollars should go to that. I say pay them when they are...
A cop doesn't get a tax payer funded vacation, he gets to continue to draw a salary since, in many cases, their only income is the job. Is it fair for a cop to go bankrupt or for his family not to have any income while they wait for the investigation to be over? I see the optics of this and how...
This is a great observation, I was thinking the same thing as I read this and other articles where 911 was called and the caller ended up dead. Obviously every circumstance is different but do you believe that situations like this could cause more and more people to weigh the benefit and say no...
Yes exactly this is where I am hung up on Zimmerman's actions
As you've said this issue has been addressed in other posts and I don't disagree at all with your position there is no justification for Martin's attack. No question, Zimmerman was attacked and he had a right to defend himself. My...
I don't think Zimmerman is guilty of anything other than poor judgement, my point from the beginning was that he should never have exited his vehicle in an attempt to pursue Martin. Did he have a right to exit his vehicle, yes! Did Martin have a right to jump Zimmerman and beat him up, no...
