Thats true. That seven yards closes in pretty flipping quick. Doing force on force simulation gets a reality of that. Think a situational awareness has alot todo with creating distance. Its more than a police officers rule of thumb. Creating mental triggers and keeping those mental triggers out of your comfort zone because you cant keep the world its self at 21 feet. I have one that if a man or lady are much larger than I am. I’ll keep that distance and keep a wide circle around that person at any point of time. Have a couple more, but will keep that short.

Well said Jim. I feel the exact same! Id rather pay the price for defending me and mine. Ill let the police deal with less than lethal. God hope that day will never present itself. Its not being paranoid its just being prepared.

Those n82 holsters are very nice! A good cross breed holster thats not actually cross breed holsters. I find the leather backing pinches and roughs up my side to much but those n82 holsters have some padding and its nice!! Iwb isn’t always comfortable. But finding the right set up makes it soo much better!!! I run a side car holster from Trex arms with a full size Glock and really like it.

Can i ask what you use for your edc? Much of the retired guys around here are still about the 1911s. Run into a old game warden all the time and he is always dan wesson this and dan wesson that haha. Ive ran a couple kimber pro carrys in my kit and love the action but carrying those all steel 1911s around all day make my pants fall down haha. I like the glock its light fast and can carry 18 rounds with ease.. its always fun to hear a retired police officers edc.. always tend to be minimalists cus theyve been there and know what works.

Kevin, If I understand you correctly you are saying, the fact that HR218 LEOSA provides that if you are a Peace Officer in good standing then you can carry anywhere in the USA provided you follow the state laws in which you are carrying. The part that "creates a (different class of citizen) which somehow holds rights over others." is that you and I with the same or superior training cannot carry nationwide yet they can. Did I get this right? If so I agree with you, this should state that if you have the proper training that one is allowed to carry nationwide while abiding by the laws of the respective states in which you are traveling. I don't think the LE officers that responded here understood what you are saying.

When I was growing up on a cattle ranch in central Texas, I shot the neighbors two dogs with rock salt because I didn't want to kill them, they were my neighbors dogs. They had killed 3 goats and 2 newborn Beef-master calves and quite frankly we could not afford to loose any more. So when I shot them both in their butts with the rock salt as they were about to kill another goat, they ran screaming under the neighbors house. The next day the sheriff showed up at our place with our neighbor. When I told the sheriff what I had done and why, he said the only reason I was not going to jail was because I was a stupid kid. He said if it comes to a point that you HAVE to shoot an animal then you shoot to kill it, but wounding an animal is just cruel. He went on to say the animal cannot reason and does not know the pain will go away and will drive them insane. He said the dogs did deserve to be killed because they were killing livestock but did not deserve to be wounded with rock salt. The sheriff gave me a warning and our neighbor was supper pissed off, the sheriff then told our neighbor he owed us for the goats and calves his dogs killed. Needless to say our neighbor never talked to us again.
