I believe it, I never understood why some people think that just because a person is a (insert military/LEO) that they are competent with various weapons.

From a hunting/shooting standpoint I can honestly say that the worst firearm handling I’ve seen in the field were from military/LEO people.

During my 25 year LE career in CA working with 1700-1800 sworn deputies, just off the top of my head, one shot himself through the calf while holstering his duty pistol and at least a dozen negligence discharges by other deputies involving property damage at worst thankfully.

Regarding the dumbfuckery negligence by civilians involving firearms, discounting homicides, robberies, ADW, etc. that were dispatched calls for service, well that would be impossible to count.

I think whenever humans are handling weapons there is always the possibility of negligence including law enforcement and military personnel, who typically handle weapons more often and under much more stressful situations than civilians.

Without knowing the background, firearms knowledge and training of these individuals mentioned it’s hard to make an assessment. I’m simply watchful around anyone I’m not familiar with during their handling of a firearm and do not take it for granted that they know how to handle their weapon safely at all times.

POST firearms qualification test is a joke. Here is my CA CCW test target of 120+ rounds with 5 weapons. I was also warned to slow down even though I was shooting only about 2 shots a second. “Mag dump not allowed “

The U.S. largest bank moved its metals operation to Singapore. Why ?

Also the U.S. just announced a “ Critical Minerals Ministry”

Silver isn’t just a coin. It’s a critical element to future technology and ecosystem.

That’s impressive shooting Tanks. Have you used the zipper? Start at the hips and let recoil run your impacts straight up the spine. If the impacts to the hip or spine don’t instantly tip him over. Keep pumping into the chest and ending up at the head.

Most people like to believe that certain career fields are naturally competent with firearms. Unfortunately the only people I have ever found to be safe and knowledgeable with firearms are those that own their own guns and either hunt or shoot for sport.

Those that had never fired a gun until they were in military basic training, or attending a police academy were always the WORST. They were under the delusion that because they had attended a formal training regimen of some type, they were forevermore good to go, even though they fired less than 100 rounds, and only handled a gun annually after that.

As a military retiree, I have the highest respect for members of our military and law enforcement, but service is not an indicator of firearms knowledge, or safety.

I've watched many of the real life law enforcement situations on YouTube..... they'll shoot 20-30 rounds sometimes, and maybe hit the criminal once, or not at all. Kinda crazy to think about all that lead flying around the neighborhood.

Have to be careful with that one. With some of these posts, we'd end up with a page and a half of "?"

Your performance was adequate.

Bodycam requirements have been one of the best things to happen to LEOs almost everywhere.

Well, I guess that makes you a subject matter expert.

Nah ... I just won't have worry about getting shot by Police....lol
I'll just pretend I'm the broadside of a barn.

Agreed, They have been so effective that many "Social Justice Warriors" are now arguing that body cameras are racist because they are used to clear LEO of wrong doing while also being used as evidence.

Here's a good video for you to watch...... Make sure you pay attention to what the ER doctor's comment is at the end!

I am a big fan of Hugh Hewitt. I have assumed, and suggested here a couple of times, that the President would likely pursue a comprehensive immigration solution during the second half of his administration. By that time, the vast majority of illegals with records would be gone and the notion of deporting longtime law abiding residents would lose considerable support however loudly and shrilly Laura Ingraham might demand it.

The new effort by democrats demanding judicial warrants to detain illegals within the country, would at least hamstring emigration enforcement if not effectively open the borders. At the same time, the heavy handed approach by ICE in Minnesota, justified or not, is eroding the President's support on what has been a 70-30 issue. Now might be just the moment to offer something that I suspect he already intends to do.

MORNING GLORY: Democrats have just handed Trump the chance to fix immigration

President Trump could flip immigration messaging by demanding Congress regularize certain illegal immigrants during 2025 DHS appropriations talks, creating a Nixon-to-China moment.

Just refrain from dying your hair in a rainbow color and running up to an ICE vehicle yelling profanities while armed with your CCW, think you’ll be okay them lol
