A member of our Armed Intelligentsia sent a link to kxro.com‘s report of a stand-off in Washington (Hoquiam Officer Shot. Suspect Barricaded in Home). As the eagle-eyed TTAG reader pointed out, it’s a little unsettling that a town of just under 9,000 has camo-clad cops. Isn’t it?
Did they retrofit a bread delivery truck into a tactical assault vehicle too?
I would define it less as unsettling, more as stupid/pointless.
They’re gonna wear fatigues of some kind, and when asked if they wanted black or camo or… whatever, they said camo. Dumb maybe, but not menacing.
As someone who has hunted deer with an AR in 6.8, I can safely say that they are used for hunting. Feinstein and Biden may not approve of my choices, but I don’t turn to them for gun advice.
I wouldnt even turn to them for political advice. Sad thing is, it would probably be good enough to get me a job.
Desert cammo in The Evergreen State? Hummmm
Is multicam, and it actually works very well in temperate areas
If the camo worked we wouldn’t be able to see them. Guess some cops just want to be tacticool! If it makes them happy, considering the carp they have to put up with, more camo to them.
I’m not arguing for or against what I’m about to say. Just saying…
There are two ways to keep something secure:
1. Put it in a safe or some other way to “lock it up” so that the average thief can’t move it from where you put it. The thought is that the thief probably will find it (or what it is locked inside), but he will not take the time to defeat your “locks”, and he won’t just steal the heavy safe.
2. Hide it so well that the average thief can’t find it. The thought is, “If you find it you can have it, but I’ll bet you don’t have the time to look hard enough to find it.” One advantage of this method is that I know where to find it, and I don’t have to waste time opening a lock when I need to get to it quickly. The disadvantage is that you may have to remove them from their hiding places and secure them somewhere else, before allowing children into the room/house.
Both are effective means of securing things. It would appear that Ravens cornerback Chris Johnson may be attempting the second strategy. (Rather poorly, especially because he just told everyone where they are hidden!)
Agree with Cornhusker.
A 243 is the only rifle cartridge one should be considering? Really?
I’m not sure how you got this job. Do you know anything about rifles?
If it goes bang when you pull the trigger and puts energy on target that is all the reason you need if you want one.
I didn’t have any issues with the new comment widget, until yesterday when it simply did not appear at all. Either way, I’m glad it’s working.
When will gun haters understand that behavior like this guy is much more violent in nature than a respectable gun owner would display even when carrying a ‘hateful killing machine’.
This chump is more violent than any gun owner that I know.
A concerned neighbor called in the complaint. She knew that the mother had told the son he could shot any intruder that came into the home. She also knew the father had a problem with alcohol.
The mother did admit that she told her son to shoot intruders but said that her son’s gun is locked up and so there was no chance he would shoot anyone. The father does have a DUI history. When the police told him that they were not there to take his guns but to follow up on the complaint, the man went into a rant about the govt trying to take everyone’s guns away. The man later apologized and his wife said that her husband was still angered by the election results.
The complaint against the family is still active. A probe into the police/DCF activities is expected to show that the agencies responded appropriately to the complaint – an armed child who was told to shoot any intruder, given to him by a father who has issues with alcohol.
Meh… To be fair, a police department in a town of 9,000 probably has a very small budget and that DOD Santa Claus program probably gets used a lot (not to mention simply shopping at the local mil surp store).
keep all of mine safe and secure, either on my person or locked up. now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go “stunt” up and down the streets of my neighborhood. I’ve always wanted to visit the pokey.
Since I don’t have any children or adolescents in my house, I don’t worry about this too much. Everyone in my house knows and practices gun safety.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
Hollow points are not cop killer bullets…no such animal exists.
Or was that just heavy snarkasm?
Biden’s comments, thankfully being on the record-Can’t Be Denied- and as such can and should be used against him. For all the politicians who have stated that there is no attack on 2nd A rights-as Ricky said “you got some ‘splainin’ “to do. When Americans of the gun call and e-mail their corresponding representatives in government, WE need to remind them that their Chosen Leader has spoken, tearing away the curtain shielding the truth of their agenda. That which began as ‘removing dangerous weapons of war from where they do not belong’, has become a de-facto opening salvo for a full fledged gun grab. This is not the time for those who cherish our rights to go quietly into the night and allow them to transform rights into easily quashed privileges…..MOLON LABE
The danger in this is how the left uses statistics. Take a gun shop located just outside the corporate limits of Chicago. There are no gun shops within the corporate limits of Chicago, nor in many of the close in towns subject to the subtle coercion of the big City. This gun shop cannot refuse to make sales to sometimes questionable people because they’ve been sued for discrimination. So they’re forced to complete sales that end up being straw purchases. Those guns end up as “crime guns” in the (sh)city of Chicago. The (sh)City of Chicago files suit against said gun shop and is able to show it’s responsible for a disproportionate share of “crime guns” in the (sh)City of Chicago (since there are no other gun shops nearby, this is a slam-dunk). Oh, wait!! This has already happened. The MF’s know exactly what the intended consequences of this letter is. It fits their pattern.
Evidence showed that he studied other mass murders for months and laid out his plan very carefully. It suggests that he was intent on this even though it was against the law. Imagine that.
the bottom line is.. RI is technically a “shall issue” state. however the current AG is using a clause that states while he is in office, he has deemed the state as a “may issue” state.. and until his fag ass gets out – nobody is gonna get a CCW unless you are going into or already into armed security.
we just need an AG with the same mind as the rest of us. bristol and warren police chiefs will not issue them, but barrington does occasionally do issue them out. all else fails, you better know a judge or a deputy sheriff that is buddy buddy with a judge..
So the last question – if your ex ever comes after you for child support or alimoney, you become a criminal and lose your 2A rights?
Piss off Mr. President. Waving the bloody shirt is a dispicable thing to do. Legislating with emotion is a stupid thing to do. If you want a legacy of anything more than petty tyranny, stand up and lead. Don’t organize, don’t campaign, don’t rally or fundraise. Lead. Let me get a dictionary for you so you can look up the definition. Until then, I say again. Piss off.
Within a day or two of the 2012 Presidential election, I donated to SAF for a 5 year membership. While I am not in a position to financially support SAF more, I at least wanted to help boost their membership number.
I suggest anyone who can at least help boost their membership, do so.
