And, my LGS just announced they are selling suppressors to GOA members with only a 4473, no Form 4!! I am going to pull the trigger on a YHM Turbo-K RB and maybe one for my .22s next week. Gotta strike while the iron is hot!!

As mentioned, I have a nice leather shoulder holster I picked up nearly 30 years ago from Brass Alley in Sarajevo...

Creech for the FTU and ops afaik

Get yourself a nice leather over the shoulder holster and you'll be set for the boardwalk

Definitely looks better than the last one I carried lol.

Well, after years of wanting one, I finally found an Italian-made Beretta 92FS at a decent price! Full disclosure, I was never really a fan of this pistol when I had to carry it on active duty. I always found the grip to be too large, and preferred the Glock (and later XD) or a 1911 over it. It wasn't until I got a Walther P1 a year or so ago, and a bud of mine was showing me the 92FS he was carrying a few weeks ago, that I got the bug to grab one. I wanted an Italian one over a US made version, and a FS over a F. A coworker mentioned having one, and I told them to let me know if they felt like selling it. They offered it at a good price ($500) and as it looks like it had a very low round count, there was no way I could pass on it. I am searching for a third mag (again, prefer an Italian-made one) as my shoulder holster from Sarajevo holds two extra mags. I may have a lead on one; but if anyone has an extra they're willing to part with let me know. I also have to admit handling it does bring back some fond memories. The manual of arms is still intuitive despite it being over two decades since I shot one. Some things you just don't forget!

Where’s the RQ-170 assignment to?

This is a great breakdown/beatdown of lying cops and qualified immunity. Also, the level of incompetence in retaining those who are proven liars with arrest powers.

Let me know if nobody wants to see CSO drops here and I’ll go back to the no man’s land of the CSO threads… UCT 26-15 F-15E x 3 B-52 x 3 OA-1K x 2 (1 guard, 1 AD) RC-135 x 3 EA-37B x 1 RQ-170 x 1 AC-130 x 2 MC-130 x 1 HC-130 x 1

Also, this thread has definitely wandered a few grid squares from Iran at this point. Carry on with the political handicapping if you must, but let’s try to keep it from turning into a full-on 2028 thirst/horse-race thread.

Right?

Semi? I admire your standards

The only way she'll get my vote!

AOC will be entertainment. She seeps a lot of spotlight because she is a semi fuckable young Latina with a mouth on her…her district is a portion of Queens and Bronx. She will flail on the national stage. Dems will let the DSAs have their circus then settle on someone safe like Whitmer or the guy that looks like he’s from the hunger games Newsome.

i have literally thousands of dollars in polymarket bet on AOC in 2028 that will pay 10-1 i'll be voting for her :D

Concur. Rubio has impressed me in his current roles...all of them and is certainly a more reasonable choice than AOC. If AOC wins...that is likely the tipping point and we are toast.

I’d focus on strong flying and rec letters first. If you want a master’s, AFIT’s distance Systems Engineering is solid and free.

Well played! 😂
