I didn't think morale here could get any lower, but I was wrong lol. Departments not doing any kind of proactive advancements on securing our stations or anything. Aside from the normal life struggles I just try and get in the gym as much as possible and pretend I know what I am doing. I have got my mile down to about 8-9 minutes without being out of breath much at all. That's a big deal to me considering I started with only being able to run a mile in about 11-12 minutes at best but completely smoked afterwards.

I use our issue DAK Sig 226. To use anything else you have to buy it. A class mate bought a SA/DA for about 950.00 at discount. To much moving functions for me. I don't want decockers and all that. When we qualify you have to run it at re double action stage etc.

I do traffic stops and 9-10 times I don't write a ticket. Not really why I signed up for this gig. My previous trainer was a lot more proactive thank god.

Wife already hates my current shift (nights) can't blame her. So last night she text me saying she is scared to be home that late by herself all night but doesn't want a gun I told her I'm not going to push it on her. Last thing I want is her with a gun she doesn't know how to use. I even told her about the new Glock 43 but no dice. So then I come home and find all 4 locks unlocked on the back door. Yup 4 of them 2 deadbolts, security latch, and the door knob lock.

On the subject of concealed carry I struggle to conceal this sig 226 appendix. I go back and forth whether I should just carry a glock again so I am at least armed with something more comfortable and concealed. Hope all is well with everyone

yeah can't do basket weave. I can barely get away with the STX stuff. It is supposed to be plain black smooth leather, BUT I see tons of tactical models around because no one wants to fork over an extra $50.00 bucks for the leather.

I am hoping to get one for about $50.00 and sell it for roughly that later. I see them go for that price all the time I just can't seem to jump on it when it does.

Sure they do. If you are carrying under authority of Subchapter Chapter 411 Government Code, then it applies to you. An example would be if your department only allowed you to off duty carry your specific type of weapon you carry on duty, then you could carry a different type of pistol with your CHL and the signs would apply.

You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!

I never really went anywhere anyways that this would help me. College campus maybe but even then it was rare.

1s1k52 wrote:Spanish final. Defensive Tactics final, and some scenerio finals are left. Getting mixed information on what happens if you fail them. Considering I dont plan to fail any I try not to pay any mind to it. I went to apply for Mckinney and they closed job opening. I would like to know if anyone wants to explain how to find out if the agency is an AT WILL. Only one I know for sure in my area is Frisco.

The main drive for me looking elsewhere isn't money as much as insurance. Pay about 550 a month for me, wife, 2 kids. We cant go to the doctor for less than 100.00 and that isn't including prescriptions. Daughters antibiotics were 75.00 this weekend.

Thats the only other update really I guess.

We have our DPD final next week and TECOLE test the following week after that. Hope all is well with everyone.

Baton day tomorrow. 8 hours of it. They shut the doors and raise the heat to mid 90's. Taser is next week.
