Great question, retrieverman. Hell, I could argue/alibi/advise two different ways at least. Here in Oklahoma, the Cleet Armed Security Guard class (back in 1995), taught one of the legal use of deadly force was to prevent a violent felony. The instructor droned on about “reasonable suspicion”...
Got this in the mail today. Didn’t know Spyderco made a model with an “axis lock” blade release. Manix 2. Thanks for mentioning it, Glock Em down. Blade came very sharp, full flat grind, micro bevel. Glides thru free hanging paper. Very pleased.
Thanks for posting that, Reedman. A lot of foundations, committees, supporting members to digest. A complicated series of steps to give away money while avoiding public criticism/outcry. Didn’t know Mr. Kaiser had built so much, was so successful. So his foundation is going to develop the...
I was wondering about the timing of July 31, 2024 retirement date. Tulsa votes in a new mayor this summer.? Media didn’t mention any thing about that. New Mayor,,, new Police Chief? Tulsa votes in a new mayor 08/27/2024.
I believe TPD Chief is a political appointment. By the mayor? Maybe. Taking orders and guidance from that office. Tulsa County Sheriff is elected by the voters. Sherrif Vic Regelado. I like him.

A fine collection, RickN. The melee weapon leaning against the wall, at the bottom seems to be a combination Battle axe/Mace (with thrusting spike on top?). So versatile. Brings to mind Native American tribal war clubs, tomahawks, lances.
Revolving magazine tubes, three tubes, six rounds of 2 3/4” each? Close quarters fire superiority. Just need some hard cover for the reload process, I guess. Could imagine the opponent down range counting shots,”that’s it! He fired his six, rush him!”
Update on my Ruger American bolt action rifle. Looks like mounting the cantilever Warne base backwards on the pic rail, locates the hex nuts to the right, extruding outward over the ejection cut out, in the receiver. Snap cap dummy round ejects quite normally with base removed. I will turn the...
Thanks Rez, the “smith” I went to has disassembled the bolt, check the springs, ejector and extractor and determined all looked ok. Damned if I know, by looking. I thought the bolt face looked rough, too. ? Is this just a base model rifle that doesn’t get a polished, smooth bolt face? Maybe the...
