I later came to understand the reason for that was likely because the pistol's barrel was lower (i.e., closer to the operator's axis of control) than that of the typical pistol. For me, that firearm simply shot soft, and it did so very accurately.

It has been a very bad work week (…two barricaded suspects in a 3 day period) and this incident in our station lobby yesterday night really made it that much worse. I don’t truly think she meant to kill herself. She was trying to kill one of my partners. |

Be well, my brother! If not a grateful nation, there are still members of said nation that are extremely grateful!
That seems rather graphic for CBS to post.

Not publicly, but he will be given the nature of my department. When we work inside (…e.g. Watch, dispatcher, call taker, etc.), we always wear a pancake holster only. That’s status quo across the entire department, but they will try to make an example. The female had mental issues and was causing a stir in our lobby. They had to detain her and get her under control.

Sedan, et al...
How do you guys view cars with "I go fast" type stickers all over their cars? Do you figure they are advertising their lack of "law-abideness," or it just doesn't enter into your thought process? Just a bit curious... |

I also was one of three drivers on a One Lap of America team many moons ago, who drove 6,000+ miles around the country in a fully-decalled car. We were only pulled over when we deserved it, like driving over a buck twenty on a 55 MPH two-lane road through the desert.....

That one was around 2 PM, and cost the team member who was driving at the time a whopping $105.
I was in Nevada a year earlier, driving from Wendover to Ely on US-93 after sunset. It was the first and only time where I slowed down because I was out-driving my headlights.....

The best route in terms of the lack of enforcement, extraordinary scenery, and gloriously wide-open stretches of tarmac was (starting from Denver): I-70 West until it ended at I-15 in central Utah, and then US-50 West to I-80 West at Fernley east of Reno, the latter being the best. Running west out of Austin, NV is a 13-mile straightaway that is all about put-the-car-up-on-the-center-line and put-the-pedal-to-the-metal. In terms of making time, after joining I-80 West it was always an issue of the day of the week and the time of the day. Traffic from Reno to the Bay Area could always be counted on to be dense. I tended to come back on Sundays so I could make it in to work Monday morning. It was like swimming is a very dense school of fish. Google shows the route from my dad's home in Denver to mine in SF taking 19:19. The last time I ran it, it took just over 15 hours, including two very short stops for fuel. There is a lot of room for making time out West. My guess is that drivers wanting to enjoy long high-speed runs can still experience them out West. I also think those days are coming to an end.

Since I was the only person on our team that regularly drove a manual transmission and could launch from the line, I was the designated driver at the two bracket drag strip events. Missed making the quarterfinals by 0.001 seconds to a 911 at the first one, and drew the above-mentioned tube frame race car in the first round at the second drag strip. I was really looking forward to taking him out of that event, and having an awesome picture staged next to him at the starting tree for our sponsors. Sadly, it started to rain just as the racing was about to start, and Brock decided to cancel the drags for safety reasons. There was a hush-hush unofficial betting pool among the teams for who would score the highest and most speeding tickets during the week. The winner was over a buck forty MPH, and one woman driver racked up something like 17 tickets. We were not participating in the pool.....

You can tell it's the end of the budget year and Officers still have to go out.
I get to hear a lot of stories from my LEO friends. No gas money, no tire money etc... |

NYPD lost a 31-year-old officer earlier this week. He approached a car illegally parked in a bus stop, and was shot in the gut below his vest. The two occupants of the car were poster child examples of catch-and-release, and now a wife, young son, and the entire NYPD LEO family have to mourn.....
