Brothers In Arms

I got this in an email. if anyone is interested click the link. Henry has made a SASS Commemerative that any SASS member can buy and have their SASS badge number engraved on the gun. HERE’s the LINK: https://www.henryusa.com/sass/ If I were still a SASS member I would definitely buy one. After buying and shooting my X model it thoroughly pizzes me off that I listened to a bunch of…never mind.

After becoming a civilian when there was a change of politics and a new sheriff. One day me and my wife, shopping late, we drove down a street which held a pretty tough biker crowd bar. As we were driving up, saw a city police car with lights flashing when suddenly a body weht flying through the large window, a city officer. I stop the car and heard his partner as a biker came running toward us in the street. The cop knowing me yelled to stop him, as he went by, I stuck my foot out and got on top of him as he went down and the injured cop and his buddy came up to cuff him.

Snakebite, one of the other cowboys on the WIRE reached out to me. John Barleycorn has some for sale.

I will take them. Pm incoming.

Yeah, I worked with a few that were like that. I would have gone down any dark alley with them and knew we had each others back if necessary. Then there were some that we were able to drum out of the department because they were afraid of their own shadow and were dangerous to everyone. This included men and women. It was interesting that during our firearms training they asked the same question over and over at every training class. If necessary could you shoot someone without hesitation? If you could not answer yes, then they would ask you to turn in your gear. We lost a few at every class. Most of us would say yes but until it was really required it, it was an unknown. I have never had to shoot anyone but felt when the time required it that I could do what was necessary to save lives. Guess we might never know but even today I carry with that same thought. Yes, I can if necessary. We had a sign over our pistol range that said "if you just wound him you missed him". The statement from our training officers were wounded people can still shoot back. Which brings to mind that old joke about asking the officer why he shot his 14 times and the officers says cuz I ran out of bullets. TM

First dibs!

Mebbe so, mebbe not. Just one man's opinion.

I am also looking for one with a pistol grip.

The ATF has met the "letter of the law" by having a database without names, but all additional information (primarily the address), for each gun that is sold and/or repaired by an FFL holder. Not too hard to find out which guns "Joe Blow" may own (or have access to) by typing his address into the database!!!!! Since most states require you to have your current physical address on your driver's license to buy a gun (or face a felony unless your name is Hunter) it is pretty comprehensive.

If asked, yes, I'd pitch in. A couple of times I have called out, from about 15 yards, "Officer (or Deputy)! Do you need assistance?" and, thankfully, always declined. One was a Sonoma Co. Deputy, rainy night about 2200. Guy had put is car into a ditch near the church (Holy Week, lots of late services), I had helped him get a door open so he could get out, people in the house near the ditch had been trying to wave me off. I guess they were listening to a scanner and heard that this particular vehicle had been involved in something or other. Guy was about 6'2", ~250, drunk or high. Anyway, the guy started walking down the middle of the road. Deputy pulled up, parked to block the road , got out, about 4'12", maybe 120 pounds. She started walking towards the guy. I asked if she needed help. She waved me off. Got to the guy and started talking to him. he pushed her, she had him on the ground in nothing flat. BOOM! A thing of beauty.

Mind sharing where you got one? I am looking for one for a pistol grip rifle

Prayers sent

....... like the feller said when he saw a dalek ....... "... it's R2D2, ..... I loved him in Star Trek ..."

Uhh.... Klingons are denizens of Star Trek, not Star Wars; let's keep our aliens properly arranged and attributed, shall we? LL

A long time ago I was taught that the particular phrase accords the helper some protection under the law, at least in some states.

I would make sure assistance was needed but more than that, unless the officer is injured or unconscious I would do as @Rip Snortersaid. EDIT: Duh, I didn’t answer the question posed by Alpo. Yes! Absolutely I would help a police officer if requested.

Hold your Klingons! About 10 more hours to go!
