    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Do not assume all police officers are equally competent in regards to their weapon(s). Some of the worst, most dangerous firearm handling I've seen has been that of police officers. Most are totally fine, but man... Some have no business walking around with a loaded gun on 'em... Lol.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    'Used to irritate the regulars at Galt when a group of us would shoot a round of sporting clays with our 18" semi/pump shotguns.. We called it "combat clays" 😁 I shot regularly at Waterdown with my Beretta 686, but once in a while I'd take my Benelli M4 out for a round... Of course...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Are y'all talkin' "skeet" or "trap" guns..? There's a big difference between the two games and the best bang sticks for each. As far as "fit" goes... Buying an off the shelf shotgun you're only going to get close. Really close if you're lucky. Having a shotgun "fitted" to you is something for...

    Yeah... These days you're more likely to see people wearing their pyjamas or if you're on a flight with higher class folks... Sweats with "JUICY" written on the backside..

    For the flight i almost was booted from they offered an $800 travel voucher and a seat on a flight leaving 3 ours later... So, not cash money. But rather a coupon you could use to book another trip. Fair deal if you fly often enough I guess.

    I will say something positive about AC... They, as well as some others including Westjet do not charge baggage, oversize/overweight fees to veterans or active service members of the CAF. They also waive certain surcharges for certain types of checked luggage. This most recent trip I would...

    Lol... So my flight back to YYZ was less than half full. Both emergency exit rows near were vacant. 'Guy asked a crew member if he could move... "Sorry sir, those care premium seats. You have to pay more to sit there" So gotta wonder, is money the priority over having someone able/willing to...

    Yeah... No big deal. I imagine it's an incredibly complex business to run. So many moving parts. It's a logistical miracle anyone lands where they're supposed to.

    For this trip, which was early on a Monday morning I arrived well in advance of the recommended time. For my circumstance they advise showing up 30 minutes prior to the regular recommended time. I doubled that. I had firearms and ammunition with me, so... they need time to do a little extra at...

    I'm told if you're the cheapskate who bought an economy ticket and didn't pay for extras you're the guy they bump. I checked in 24hrs ahead, but that doesn't matter I think. I'm not a fan of AC. 'Seems every time I go with them there's an issue. Out of maybe ten trips maybe one went without a...

    I just flew AC out to and back from Regina 'Got bumped off my outbound flight 'cuz they "over sold" the flight. (I bought my ticket in December). Luckily someone volunteered to stay behind for compensation. Flight home... Aircraft was only about 30% full.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    It depends on what I'm using... The .22 is pretty effective out to about 75-100 yards. With the .17HMR I can get 'em out at 200 yards, maybe a bit more. I'd say that this trip most shots are presenting themselves inside 125 yards. That said, once in a while there are shots made at distances...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Our problem is we don't have the stomach for treating some people the way they should be treated. Many refuse to believe there are people who are beyond redemption. It's pretty sad, but sometimes you run across a case where there's no net benefit to letting someone back into society at large.

    Bring back trial by combat. Seriously though... the "justice system" is just one "system" intertwined with all our other socital systems.. And they're all imperfect if not completely FUBAR. These days there's a lot if noise about bail reform, from a lot of people who apparently don't know how...
