The Sheriff's Dept ran courthouse security. Everybody but deputies locked their weapons in lock boxes when entering the courthouse. Everyone entering the courthouse went through the metal detector/security checkpoint. The deputy assigned to the courtroom was the only one armed in there. All county, city and state officers were unarmed in the courtroom.

what do the police call their walkie talkies?
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
We just called them a radio. For 20+ years, all we had were the portable radios. We were on the 800 mhz trunking system and dispatch could disable any radio or computer on the system as necessary. They could also turn the radio into a bug if an officer was taken hostage. -
New scam starting in Colorado

They might charge me once. After that, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. -
Hey SKB SxS guys……how long is your…..

All 3 of mine were done by Fast Eddie and are cut to 22 inches. -
It's been my experience that reloading is a lot like Cowboy shooting. It's an evolution. Many start off with a single stage or turret press and eventually evolve into the Dillon or Hornady progressive presses. Get started with what you can afford and buy the best in that category. Having a local mentor guide you through your learning curve will save you lots of money and time. I agree with the advice to stay away from preassembled kits. They have the cheapest junk in them that you will end up not using in the long run.

Shotgun barrel length….
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Bulls Head Bill SASS#33692's topic in SASS Wire
It's not necessarily the barrel length but the weight distribution. My SKB's are 22" because that gives the barrels the proper weight to open easily. It's a ballance thing. -

how difficult is it to get a warrant for DNA?
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
If you had "probably cause", it wouldn't be hard at all. You would need to lay out your evidence in the affidavit and explain why you need the suspect's DNA. Suspicion is not enough. You could also follow the suspect around until he threw away his Happy Meal. Then test the Happy Meal straw for DNA. If you got a match, that would be good evidence towards a search warrant. -
I like Glocks for what they are. if I need another one, (already have 5) I wouldn't be afraid to get a Generation 6.

If you are forced to prepay for any leather work, furniture or contractor services, always do a charge back on your credit card by day 55 if they haven't delivered. That way you preserve your charge back rights. These types of businesses often stiff the prepaid customers when they go out of business, or the owner dies or has sudden health problems. Life happens but there's no reason you should have to pay for their mismanagement or misfortune.

Are the supposed to be insulting the Navy or Wafflehouse?

If somebody called the police because they felt threatened by me holding a gun and had me locked up, I might be tempted to make their nightmares come true.

Another successful gun buyback in the Bronx.
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I'd venture to say that most of these guns were inherited from Dad or Grandpa by some left-wing liberal who doesn't know what to do with it. Scared one of their feral children will get hold of it and end up in prison. Probably never fired a gun in their life and have no place available to do so. Getting rid of the gun is not near as valuable to society as getting the gun away from that situation. I don't have a problem with gun buyback programs as long as tax dollars aren't used to fund it. I have an evil junk gun that is waiting for a gun buyback program in my area. -
I want to write the story lines. See how many political correctness rules I can violate.

Powder inventory appears to be coming back
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Captain Clark's topic in SASS Wire
Over the last 10 years, I've seen a drop in attendance at local matches by as much as 50%. Attendance at state matches seems to have dropped also but not as much. I suspect that a lot of shooters got caught without supplies during one of the extended shortages and never resumed when things changed. There are other reasons contributing to the drop in attendance; however, component prices and availability are certainly a contributing factor. -

Now is the time to start building up a 4-5 year supply. That way you won't be caught short the next time something unforeseen happens. -
Russia has been getting a lot of shells from North Korea. The quality control of the DPRK ammunition is poor at best.

I was 3 years old. All I remember is that they cancelled all the cartoons on Saturday morning because of the assassination coverage.

Why doesn't the USA use roadside breathalyzers?
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I'm from the old "blow in my hat" days. That was from before the alcosensors and standardized sobriety tests. Back in the dark ages, we had an intoximeter that had glass ampules that the suspect blew into an you measured the light passing through the glass ampule to get the alcohol content. Of course, the light meter had a dial which was very "adjustable". We had implied consent warnings that we had to read to the suspect. That card changed so often, you had to put a copy of the card you read with the case file. As the penalties for DUI increased, the lawyers got involved, the intoximeters improved and got way more complex and standard field sobriety tests were adopted. I was actually pretty good at the "blow in my hat" test. The deep lung air of a drunk has a particular sour smell. In the case of a serious traffic accident, the Accident Investigation Unit would respond. If the suspected drunk driver refused the test, they would draw up a search warrant and have the hospital take the blood and/or urine for testing. . -
Any MEC 8567 Grabber Guru's out there?
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Sarge's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have a Mec 9000, which may be similar. If I get a stray piece of shot in just the right spot down in the mechanism of station 1, it will distroy empty cases as fast as I feed it. Take the collet crimp part apart and check for stray shot pellets. -
Drill holes in the hard drive and soak it in salt water for a week. Let's see Abby recover anything now.
