Read Dickens.

done deal.

Yes it sounds crazy. Just as crazy as the US guberment allowing the sale of cocaine to fund an illegal war. Ask Gary Webb.

Many forget Air America

Some might call you crazy....but I wouldn't put it past big business

I haven’t seen any movements to eliminate training from the police forces yet.

I suppose it is possible a cc civilian is more knowledgeable and more prepared than the popo. But to me that would be a problem with the popo rather than the glory of the cc civi. I also don’t buy it statistically or logically. I’m sure there is an example or two as an anomaly based on being humans though.

My shooting instructor does train thelocal PD and does say they are terrible shots though. He also likes to point out the holes in the walls, shooting bays, ceilings and target holders that came from the police. He likes to poke fun at them because he was one of them and thinks they are knuckleheads. I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them and had an unfortunate incident with them where they were wrong and it took me forever to show/prove it to them. There was a point where they didn’t want the truth, just to be right and got very aggressive about it. Much like political arguments in here lol.

I’m not saying all popo are good shots that’s for sure. I’m also not saying they practice good gun safety or are good under pressure. But I’d hope there is at least a little weeding out. I’d also hope they are better than the guy next to me at the range yesterday that kept waving the muzzle of his new CZ scorpion accross all of the bays while excitedly showing it to his buddies.

I stopped shooting and told him he pointed it at me twice. He said it wasn’t loaded and not to worry about it. I told him again not to point it at me and he said but it’s not loaded. I told him to treat it like it’s loaded and he just frowned at me. Then he loaded it and shot it. When he finished (I was leaving because I didn’t want to be there and get shot, plus I’d shot 650 rounds already) he laid the scorpion at his feet pointed at the concrete half wall in front of him.

I told the range officer on my way out. He said he’d say something when the dude left. I told him I hope that’s not too late. It’s not my normal range and I won’t go back.

Just go to the pharmacist in any large box drug store. You have to show ID and you're limited on how much you can buy, but you can still get it. Always could.

or Mena AK where a backwoods governor ran his state like a well oiled octopus with a hand in every pocket unseated a sitting President because he found their cookie jar!

Or is it more of a way to create a suspects list?

Nope...gotta show license. Welcome to the world where we have to cater to a select few that chose to make meth with it in their trailers vs the masses that just wanted to breath without congestion.

Suspect's list? Whatever.

After every school shooting we would have a training session and debrief the the incident and try to learn how we could respond to that situation if it happened in one of our schools.

As far as an active shooter, SRO's are taught to RUN towards him. In order to be an SRO, an officer must be prepared to sacrifice himself to do everything in his power to prevent his students from danger.

The officer is a pussy and has disgraced himself, his family and his agency. He should have COWARD branded on his forehead.

In this case the perimeter he should have been securing was the small circle of real estate where the shooter was standing.

Oh, he's not alone!

That sheriff is a walking talking assbag. He's TOAST!

I personally believe they should be fired. Stripped of any and all possibility of ever keeping a pension and the right to ever carry a gun again.

Teachers aren't paid enough to put up with the bull**** the put up with. But, since teachers are also being shot, I think those with proper training would welcome the opportunity to be able to defend themselves and their students.

You misunderstood me I think. I know I still need to show my license. That was my whole point. Show me it has done something or let’s go back to the way it was.

Yea part of the reason for the license is to compile a list of folks going store to store stockpiling. A suspects list. I’d like to know if that’s worked. If not let’s go back to how it was before.

I want my little red pills LOL.

That's just crazy talk. Show me where the government has walked anything back!

Some definitely would. If I was teaching I might, or probably would. Others wouldn’t (like the vocal ones in FL, not to be confused with all). Others are freaked out and scared of guns in general. I often forget how much they scare and freak some out.

Abrig glad you stepped in to this one. I respect your judgement. What’s you take on the Prez saying teachers love kids more than resource officers?

There are two tools in Louisiana which address this.

1) CEC = Coroner's Emergency Certificate. Basically a warrant issued by the coroner directing the Sheriff to deliver the mentioned individual to a forensic facility for a mental health evaluation

2) PEC = Physician's Emergency Certificate. Pretty much the same thing, but issued by a licensed physician.

They walked back the assault rifle ban

But I get what you are saying and agree. That’s what I’m saying. PDSA rinse repeat isn’t a normal government function.

What situation is the coroner involved in? Grieving to the point of danger to self or others?
