These are the basic precautions used in the hospital

Bold mine for emphasis.

This was part of the problem with Dallas Ebola. While CDC was telling us to just wear contact precautions, we were watching the Emory team transport the Doctor who had contracted the disease in Africa in full exposure suits with PAPR (Positive Air Pressure Respirators) while some doofus was directing the team not…[Read more]

IIRC, some of the gunfighters in the Old West that lived to be older lived by the philosophy of “fast on the draw, slow on the trigger.” There are many incidents of a kid being faster on the trigger but usually put his first shot into the dirt about 6′ in front of the other shooter. The old guy was longer on the trigger but obviously hit his…[Read more]

I can see using the BB (battle belt) around the house, doing basic chores. Having to use the tractor or moving about on an UTV, the chest rig and AR get tossed into the mix. The BB would allow me to fight back to the UTV or tractor where my rifle would be, and a resupply of full mags. If I’m understanding the concept correctly.

Having been involved in some of the preplanning and aftermath of the Dallas incident (at another major hospital), I was actually encouraged by what I saw and learned.

The infected person has to be almost dead before you contract this disease. Think of the people who were exposed to Thomas Duncan (the guy who brought it to Dallas). He went to…[Read more]

“career” politicians are part of the problem. One should NEVER come out of office a millionaire (unless one went in as a billionaire, ). I do agree with Shooter – ANYONE seeking office is a red flag for me (especially at the national level) as it tends to be a power trip. So, the solution may lie in who “runs” (no one runs, all a…[Read more]

We use drybags designed for canoeing/kayaking with good results……

I’ll take it back to Joe’s comments – Glocks have so many different classifications, it can be rather easy to mix-up, especially if 2 are similar with 2 different model numbers (43X and 48).

I have attached pics of mags from a 19, a 43X, and a 43…..you can see the difference (wished I had paid closer attention)

Dammit….and that’s what I get for listening to the sales rep, who had always given me good information before…..I wonder if it’s due to the platforms being new and so similar??

The above case, in Colorado, revolves around state law colliding with federal case law…….read the outcome…..

While charges may be filed by the state, SCOTUS has consistently ruled that the police have…[Read more]

Nothing like training with your offspring

Whether enforced or not, laws that are “malum prohibitum” should be vigorously opposed at every turn and level

As opposed to laws that are malum in se…….

Does this make said journalists complicit and, by extension, “fair game”?? (in the legal sense, of course)

For those who don’t know Joe’s reference …….

Workplace violence – anyone removers the 80s?? The incidents into the 80s gave rise to the phrase “going postal”.

While the political climate has certainly changed and the plethora of social media avenues can be a game-changer, the actual event is nothing new. How many of us know someone at work who “just ain’t right?”

From my perspecti…[Read more]

My bad, squad leader before Korea appears to be SSGT, then in Korea appears to be SFC then back to SSGT

So why the drop in rank for leader after WWI??
