Re: Question: Texas Motor Speedway & The Speedway Club

I believe the Speedway Club is a 51% establishment. Don't remember if the sign was up last time I was there, but it's basically a bar.

Re: Robber in Baytown stopped by "citizens arrest"

Says the company who designed it. At least that's how it was promoted and sold to LE agencies. I can't find any evidence of that on their website or in any of the LE publications that I read. All of their advertising calls the device a less lethal device used to safely control subjects. You don't u...

Re: Robber in Baytown stopped by "citizens arrest"

A Taser has never been the cause of death of any person and should not be considered deadly force. I guess it depends on who you choose to believe. http://www.google.com/search?q=taser+deaths+statistics&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a"...

Re: Robber in Baytown stopped by "citizens arrest"

Also, most people forget (or never knew) that a Taser is designed to be an alternative to deadly force [/u], for deadly force scenarios where it may not be safe/preferred to use deadly force. Unfortunately, they have largely become perceived as compliance tools (which they were not intended to be),...

Re: Wichita Falls Officer Shot by Homeowner

Any LEOs want to share some advice (OTHER than "don't") for us Night Ninja types (I know I fall into this category at times)... Something we could wear or do maybe that won't get us shot (but might get us approached/questioned still). :bigear: Know your target and what is beyond. That's i...

Re: Cop didn't care about CHL - still wrote me two tickets.

Just wanted to point out that the police don't need to use radar to write speeding tickets. The radar gun was invented in 1954. The speeding ticket was invented long before 1954. This comment is based on...... Maybe in 1954 you didn't need a RADAR Gun to write speeding tickets but in 2008 with the ...

Re: LEO & CHL

It's a crazy rule but one we have to live by. It doesn't make any sense that I must carry a Sig on my duty belt while at the same time carrying a Glock in another holster as a backup weapon - only in Dallas. The department realized how stupid it was but instead of fixing it they banned officers hir...

Re: LEO & CHL

So you can carry whatever gun you choose (not just department approved weapons) without feaer of an IAD investigation if you have to use the weapon. Some departments are very particular about which guns you can carry. For example, Dallas PD only allows officers to carry a Sig brand 9mm or .357Sig p...

Re: So, you trust your centerfire semi-auto EXPLICITLY?

Glock will "win" this "contest". Just like comparing the cost for servicing a Honda Accord and a Ferrari over a period of 3 years, the Ferrari will "lose". But in a race for my life I would want to be driving the Ferrari. And I carry a 1911. Properly maintained and oper...

Re: Taco Cabana gets robbed

A business located in a high crime area that makes it a vocal point to express their "no guns allowed on the premisies" policy gets robbed and this is considered news?

Might as well say "Man wearing meat suit attacked after entering tiger cage."
