Re: Prayer request for myself

Praying for you, your family, & your care team. Lean in on God during this season; He has a plan, & He has your back.

Not sure if you're on social media much, but there are online support groups that my wife tapped into when dealing with ocular melanoma. Here's one that I remember: https://www ...

Re: New Instructor Certs

Thanks for posting this, 'cause I'm in the same boat & was wondering if it was just mine.

I'll re-word your question slightly & throw it back to the group as a poll:

How many LTC Instructors have:

1. Submitted all their stuff, took the online test, AND received their updated Instructor ...

Re: In today's times............

The only change I've made recently is moving the small trauma aid bag from my truck to the wife's vehicle, since we're mostly using her's lately. I just have to move it back to the truck when loading out for range sessions.

On the "To-Do List" is refresh the contents of one of my spare bags so ...

Re: My mom passed away

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother, and to hear about the strained relationship ya'll had. Families can be 'messy' sometimes.

I lost my dad in 2001, & we hadn't spoken for about 10 years (he was 49; I was 30). I had just resolved to begin the healing process, but hadn't reached out to him just ...

Re: Weapon Storage at work



Thanks for that. It pretty much confirmed what I already believed. I guess the only unresolved question now is, if they can't stop you from keeping a weapon in your private vehicle can they still fire you for doing so, because you are breaking their corporate rule.


If they want to fire you ...

Re: Firing protocol

There is no rule mandating Singe Action / Double Action for the LTC Course of Fire. Not for revolvers nor for semi-autos.

That said, I have my students use whatever mode their gun is likely to be used in if used defensively as its carried in the holster. This will be Double Action for revolvers ...

Re: US Senate Parliamentarian

Silly question:

Is this only going to remove the $200 tax?

Or, Will this remove suppressors & SBRs from the NFA?

Re: Sig P365X pondering

My wife has a 365XL, which I like quite a bit. It has less than 1k rounds thru it, & no complaints thus far.

The 365X has a slightly shorter slide/barrel/sight radius, so personally I'd recommend an XL over the X, but that's just my preference (the XL is still easily concealed).

However, recently ...

Re: Sig P320 un-commanded discharges

A mild 'language' warning for the video, but a slow-motion review of a GBRS class that had a Negligent Discharge on reholstering a P320 that was initially thought to be an 'Uncommanded Discharge '.

Re: Legit 30.07 sign?

I think it's the Georgia address on the door, but hanging a 30.07 sign citing the Texas Penal code that JMorris is referencing.

Not sure what counts as 'legal notice' in Ga, so it may or may not count there.
