I think the Clinton administration did a pretty good job of demonizing the movement in the eyes of most Americans by associating them with the Skinheads, the KKK and radical religious groups. Not that it is the same thing, but I think the focus has shifted to the prepper and survivalist groups...
Blackpoint Tactical in Alpharetta. Check out their website.
Update: Check with ODT member: Billieco
Rumor has it he may be the next big thing in ODT holsters.
CQB27,
What's your handle mean. I get the CQB, but the only 27 MOS I know is a legal clerk?
(FWIW, mine is an old Navy term for an OSVET. I was Navy 8404 corpsman, Army 31 commo.)
I worked with a never-done-anything wannabe, who wouldn't wear anything that wasn't tactical. Claimed to be a 4F, to account for not serving. Memorized stats on military weapons and read tactics. Always talked 10 codes on the phone. Roger this, and ended his conversations with "Out".
OK...
You talking about chasing down your dinner? Heard about it, but never saw it. If so, had to taste better than those nasty bugs and worms in the PI. My wife's Korean. she brought home some silk worm pupa the other day. They haven't improved over the years either. I think they grossed out my...
I hope he was gentle with the butter knives. I don't think today's kids would be able to see the value of the experience.
I knew a Marine who wanted to apply as an Embassy Marine. Had tattoos cut off his forearms just to apply. Don't know if he made it.
Pulled a Marine from the NTA on...
3/4 Marine in 81 got pissed and punched out a wall locker. I got the call to pick him up. Pretty dramatic boxers fracture. As I was splinting it up, his Sgt was yelling at him asking him," What the hell were you thinking ------ up my furniture when there are perfectly good Privates around."...
Do you really want to pollute the military with draftees? Also, gun handling in the military wasn't that good in my era. Don't know about now. I saw guys (tankers, MI & psyops) playing "Army" in the Army. The only reason there aren't more accidents in the Army is because of ammo security, the...
I think the trait of being dedicated to physical fitness, and training with a firearm go together. If you have spent any time with truly dedicated shooters, you see them constantly subconsciously tuning their skills. I spent a couple days working with a NYC swat officer. He would work his...
Ever seen somebody take a razor across the face? the groin? Gettin' in close isn't all hugs -n- kisses.
There are some truly evil people out there. Don't expect them to play nice.
In San Diego in 80, a guy foiled a bar robbery. Took 14 stabs with a kitchen knife to the gut before he could...
Physical fitness plays a part in how you react under stress, but training with the tools on a regular basis in designed scenarios determines not only how you respond, but enables you to be more fluid in your actions. But, nothing will tell you if you have the personality to react, but the...
And the professional instructor isn't biased by having skin in the game?
I've known guys who were naturals. Scared the heck out of me, but man could they shoot.
