Skateboard tape works well as well.

My mom just called me and said one of the people killed was their old neighbors nephew. Their other nephew was also shot. It can happen anywhere and hit close to home.

Jared Reston - Winning an Armed Encounter
Hozzie replied to TGO David's topic in Training Discussions
I think what one must apply to this video is the context and audience to which he is presenting. This is a very specific group of people he is talking to whom KNOW the environment he is referring to. I have worked with Agencies from around the world to optimize dispatch and communications systems for police, fire, and ems. In my experience, you have two groups of guys/girls at every site. Those for which this is a calling and those for which this is a job. While I agree that (some) mindset can be taught, it certainly is not something everyone can or more critically wants to do. I won't go into that subject itself. It's obvious to anyone who watches this which side he is on. I can tell you for fact that he is the exception, not the rule. Guys who do SWAT and those roles have that mindset already. It doesn't mean his message is not important for others to understand and one I would expect to take in his role, but I also agree with Peejman that most either have it or don't. I will probably get some flak for this, but I think some civilians that watch this think "Yeah, that's what I should be doing" from a mental standpoint are kidding themselves. I believe there is an overwhelming tendency by many people who like the tactical side of guns to think or even worse, daydream about being a hero in life and death situation. They think they have went out and put on a thigh holster and practiced shooting and they are prepared. We all know that guy. That guy is most likely to have no clue what it will take to actually win. I certainly believe training is good and am not trying to say it isn't, but in the end for me, what I think becomes most critical for anyone in such a situation is to be able to mentally keep things slowed down during the situation. For me, that isn't specific to just this situation. There are many cases in life where we all know people who will either remain calm and do what is needed or completely freak out under stress. Training helps one be more confident to hopefully be able to more readily remain calm, but stress is the unknown player in all of this. Some people no matter how much training they have can't overcome the stress. And for most of us, physical fitness is non existent which also reduces our decision making capabilities under stress. So for me, what I think is important is know your own capacities. While any of us could be in a situation where our life is in danger, it is not the same as pursuing danger for your job as he is outlining in this video. I love his saying of don't fight to survive, fight to win. If I took one thing away from this, that is it. If you aren't in it to win it, don't get in it if you have any other option. -
Use the AR15’s. Without a perfect shot within 75 yards, you are just going to wound them and make them suffer with a 17HMR. Be a good sportsman to the animal. Have fun. They can be hard to hunt.

Probably depends what you want. Call them with what you want and ask them first hand.

While I am sure there are many reasons this is just politics, etc, I don't have an issue with it. I know many are single issue people and that's ok, but most of those people are also the same group that talks about buying American, etc, etc. We are a fickle bunch. Most American's want everything as cheap as they can get it and then when the cheap things get taken away we complain. This does not prevent anyone from getting the ammo they need. It will reduce the amount of super cheap ammo, but ammo will be available.

Does it eject ok unsupressed?

New Job,New dress attire, new knife needed
Hozzie replied to Lumber_Jack's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I always loved my Runt, but lost it somewhere. I would think it would be perfect for this. Edit: This actually reminded me how much I liked that little knife. I ended up ordering a new one. Looks like I got the last Cocobolo one. https://www.bladehq.com/?search=runt -
If you decide you want to try it, just let me know.

If you need a kennel, let me know. I can’t get it to you until next week, but may be best to start him in a kennel ASAP.

Congrats Bersa! Did they chip him? I always worry about Beagle's (even partial) running off for something they smell.

Getting Married, watch this for expert advice about your wedding.

This is Mike Leach, Washington State head football coach being asked a question by someone getting married. The response is classic. I actually think he could be a good candidate for UT. Not because is this, but it does show his clear ability to reason :-). Sorry, couldn’t figure out how to post just the video.

I was also wondering where they came up with that name. These two entries from Wikipedia caught my attention. In Irish mythology, crows are associated with Morrigan, the goddess of war and death.[62] In Islam, according to a narration in the Hadith, the crow is one of the five animals for which no blame is placed on the one who kills them.

Exactly. Everyone knows 22’s are where it’s at! [emoji3] At least there was a dog.

This is the one to be bored at. I am at Milipol (a Military and Police Homeland Security Conference) in Paris (not TN ) this week bored out of my mind. So I figured I would show a few pics of the toys on display. It's the first day so I haven't really taken much time to really look at things, but will over the next few days. My Favorite first. This dog was incredible. Remote voice commands and cameras on his goggles.

Like you say, your vet knows what you can and can’t handle. I think that is the right way to go about it. I hope it works out for you with her or another rescue dog.
-
Bersa, to be honest she is probably a bit much for you to handle. Even with what she has been through, she will still need to be exercised to help her arthritis. Not to be taken lightly is also the potential cost for either food with Glucosamine or pills. They can be expensive. It could also progress to needing shots. I know you will take care of any dog you get, but those would b some of my concerns.

I have no doubt. Already have a rotary table and dividing plates along with most of the other basics, but I am sure there will be some specialty sized reamers, etc that will be needed. Good part is the prints have item numbers and places to buy things that may not be that easy to machine without very expensive tooling.
-
I am no trained machinist, so this will challenge me and test my patience. I am looking forward to it. I want to take my time and do it right. Lots of research to do before even starting.
-
One of the reason I bought a lathe and mill was to do fun projects. Decided that this is going to be one of my long term projects to hopefully complete over the coming year. Just ordered prints. It is for 22LR. Perfectly legal with no stamps, etc so long as you use a hand crank. No electronics or it becomes a machine gun. Using the prints from this site if anyone else is interested. http://www.gatlingguns.net/index.htm

Bipartisan deal on gun control unveiled
Hozzie replied to The Legion's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
While it probably won’t stop a person from getting a gun if they really want one, it might delay them. That can sometimes make a difference. There’s is no logical reason to oppose this. Ideological yes, logical no.. -
Yep, everyone needs to make Tulsa at least once.
