Sometimes, Florida Man wears a uniform.

Gone

As a child, I learned to be a passable piano player, a beginner trumpet player, and a so so guitarist. Years went by and now I’ve no idea how to play a piano or trumpet anymore, but can barely get by with a guitar. I’ve been watching Marty Schwartz YouTube videos to brush up on guitar. He is awesome, by the way, if you’d like to learn guitar. A couple of episodes touched on music theory, which I was never taught at all, and it has me captivated. I know we have musicians among us. Is there a seminal book or program that explains music theory in a way my tiny brain can comprehend it?

Very nice shape, adjustable night sights, one mag. Reduced to $460 FTF. Update: I would consider a G26 on trade.

I always wanted to make music. But one thing just kept getting in the way. A complete lack of talent.

Wanna know what makes the panic reaction even worse? West Point to SF to Okaloosa Deputy doesn’t seem like an upward career trajectory to me. Here is the full report. https://www.sheriff-okaloosa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IA-2023-031-Final-Report-Jackson.pdf

Can't make this stuff up... A Florida Cop Mistook an Acorn for a Gunshot and Fired on His Own Patrol Car (reason.com)

I Am a “Fatboy” driving a 2011 Silverado Z71. I have put just about 100k on it and burn about a tank of gas a month. Truck still looks new, wish I did. Retirement has it’s perks!

Took this on trade, but I’m not in to the older military rifles. This is a very nice setup from the feedback I’ve gotten from a few others on it. French MAS 1949/56 7.5 Cal see 4th picture for the rest of the information from the guy I got it from. Asking $1300 maryville area meet

Helps a ton - thanks much! I'm fairly broad across the chest and want to put 3 AR mags in the main pocket and have the ability to attach smaller pouches or kit on the outside. Buy once cry once my friend! I'm good with the price as long as it reflects quality...I've purchased cheap stuff and the zippers failed the first day...lesson learned especially on the important gear! I'll definitely check out 5.11 and a couple of others....just trying to decide between molle on the outside for extra configuration options or go low key nothing on the outside to "blend-in." Leaning towards added function over discretion.

I've used em all... The one I like is the " Original ". I'ma thinkin it's about 11 inches wide by 8 inches tall by 1.5 thick. I like this one because he will easily carry a big pistol or revolver, which is what I got him for. As I remember, there is one that is a bit larger volume wise, which would work great for carrying first aid n edc stuff. If ya are smaller across the chest, they make a " stubby " which is a bit shorter. It will easily hold a subcompact pistola. I've carried the Glock subcompacts ( 26, 33, 27 ) in him easily. These bags work exactly as ya would think, are of a bombproof build quality. There is nothing bad to say about em, other than they are pricey. Price is the main drawback, especially now that others are copying the concept. I would look at the 511 stuff too, but I haven't tried their chest bag. Hope this helps a bit. leroy...

Developed by NightForce for the military's extreme long range shooting and hard target acquisition, this Rifle Scope provides a broad magnification range, a large field-of-view and four inches of eye relief. The illuminated duplex reticle on this scope is no longer offered in the NXS series and is perfect for the shooter not requiring a Christmas tree reticle cluttering the user’s field of view...my preference! This Mil-dot scope also has the Nightforce optional high speed zero stop turret installed and conveys with a one-piece titanium Nightforce Magmount …this 3 -lug ultra-lite titanium mount ensures a reliable and repeatable mounting solution. The scope/mount is in “like new condition” spending most of its time as a “safe queen”. • Exceptional optical integrity and rigorously tested for perfection. • High Speed Tactical Mil-dot Turrets ensure speed and accuracy in all situations. • The 30mm tube is constructed of 6061-T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum • Completely Waterproof and Weather Resistant • Proprietary titanium beta erector spring that delivers three to four times the spring pressure of other scopes • ZeroStop version allows for the ability to always return your scope to your initial reference point quickly. • Nightforce X-Treme Duty™ – Ultralite™ One-Piece Magmount™ (Titanium/Alloy) Asking $1250.00 (REDUCED $1150)

Guess it was only a matter of time before we would have to add another level. Very nice and much appreciated.

It has gotten really hard to not violate one of the major rules, "If you don't want bad stuff to happen, don't go where bad stuff happens." (cleaned up for the kids) The potential for it to happen anywhere is higher than one would have ever bet on just a few years ago.

The very sad and real reality is we have a lot of time bombs walking around. Add to that the many different groups winding their springs tighter and tighter leaves us to wonder just where or when it all just explodes.

I use a 5.11 chest rig.

Thanks much - I have had good luck with etsy for a 3d printed pinky extension for my Beretta 21 & some holsters/mag clips!

This one backed off for about 200 rounds then stopped. You can see the rolled up edge.

I've been seeing a pattern of militarization in the local SD. They show off IED resistant, ex-military trucks complete with cupolas and hardened glass and heavy weapon mounts. The way Sheriff Depts. are standing up to fed.gov, I have no doubt the police officer/deputy will be replaced with Enforcers. The civilian title scares me as well because it puts us on a lower level than the police officers. As times worsen it is easier for the brown shirts to emerge, in lockstep with a new paradigm shift and a charismatic "leader". Never Forget

Not much going on here. I shoot at Sardis, MS, McLver gun range. $20 for half day noon till evening. Pistol and 100 yard rifle bays are covered and next to each other. Longer range a walk or short drive. Skeet, trap and archery areas too. I can check to see if we can set up canopies and grill for a meet.

Hill People Gear. Expensive, but ya can't beat em. I've got several. Google em. https://hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/1 leroy...

Looks like he was on the force since January 2022 and did not have any prior law enforcement experience and from what Chucktshoes posted, probably little to no experience under stress. I've been saying for a while now that I worry more about an interaction with the police than I do with any criminal element. At least with the a criminal, I know who they are and it is unlikely they'll be calling in backup. Even though I may have to deal with a Soros placed DA, either way.

I have an excellent long range rifle and scope for sale. I am barely an average shot and can easily hit consistently at 1000 yards with this setup. Rifle has less than 250 rounds through it. I have the Bergara rifle bag as well as the boxes for the rifle and scope. It also included 2 x 5 round mags. I added their muzzle break which does help with recoil. The scope was on a Leopuld mount with rings and that comes with it. I added another scope mount setup that has a 20moa angle so you have more range out at 1000+ yards. This is included as well. Bergara HMR Pro $1,799 MSRP Bergara Bag $70 MSRP Bergara Muzzle Brake $179 Vortex Viper PST $1,499 MSRP Together $3,919 MSRP (including the ammo mentioned below). In addition to the rifle and scope, I have 9 boxes of 140 gn Hornady Match ELD ammo, 2 boxes of 143 gn Hornady ELD-X ammo, and 1 box of 120 gn Hornady Match ELD ammo. The cheapest I can find this ammo anywhere is $31/box. I will include all 12 boxes of ammo with the rifle. $372 current market value in ammo included in rifle bundle. Rifle, scope, ammo and all accessories for $2,100. Dropped price to $2,000 OBO. FTF Transaction in Murfreesboro. No shipping or trades on this one.

I ran this on a Colt I had that is now gone so this is up for grabs. $35 sound fair? This is a way better charging handle then the stock ones that you can get. Makes the action smoother to me. Always good for trades too... Could use some 9mm or 5.56

It felt very 1911-ish, different but familiar if that makes sense. I will end up buying one when I get a few other projects completed.

Well, the police are trained to be on the lookout for all kinds of nuts.

I haven't seen clutch live in over a decade and i'm overdue.

sending to everyone I can think of

Seconds on this if sale falls thru.

Grip strike you as different from your staccato? Saw one person note it still felt like a Glock, but I haven’t seen any other reviewers say it feels different than a normal 1911

We had every instrument imagined growing up. So I play piano, guitar, saxophone, trombone (been a few years on that one), drums, organ, trumpet and several others. Music is an awesome thing. Rick Beato has some neat courses. Has 2 YouTube channels that I like very much also. He's Just about the music and talent. Has interviews with great musicians. https://rickbeato.com/

No assatall also, Ruger 380 in a front pocket by itself, if I carry my 45 I have to wear suspenders and for itwb only a couple pair of pants that will work, going to have rotator cuff surgery very soon and should have been practicing a lot of stuff left handed lol

Interested in selling it instead of trading it?

I bought similar to what you are talking about. Wound up loading it to the point it wasn't good for daily carry. My advice is make sure it isn't too large. ETSY is a good place to look if you have patience.

As cheap as standard Al lowers are, I see no reason for a poly lower. I see no advantage and only disadvantages across the board.

Bump! Someone needs this nighthawk in their collection!

That reminds me of Sicario. One of my favorites.....except for that woman playing the arrogant, bullheaded, whiney fbi agent. The movie was great but would have been better without that character. So back to the point, I can also recommend the Equalizer with Denzel. And, if you really need something to do, I can always recommend the endless supply of good old fashioned westerns.

Shame that this hasn't gone anywhere since early 2020. Anyone near Memphis still up for a meetup and range day?

Good luck with trying to win that argument, only way is to let your girl friend shoot from the hip and see what happens!!!

Reminds me of the bit Bobcat Goldthwait did on the Bob and Tom radio show some 15 years ago. When describing Star Wars nerds he asked if they could pick a certain part of the female anatomy out of a police line up if it also contained a picture of a doughnut and a mop.
