I believe LE has decided to burn him out.  The only waiting they are doing is for the flames to die down.  Can't say I blame them much.  He is a trained killer and obviously not scared of them.  I also highly doubt he would surrender either.  Best option is to burn the cabin down and end it now.

FOXNEWS is also reporting that they have an armored vehicle on the seen as well.

FOXNEWS is also mentioning that it was thought he had a .50 cal as well.

FOXNEWS reporting the wounded deputy will pull through.

I don't know if Donner is down, but FOXNEWS is showing a burning cabin and reporting explosions and flames coming from the cabin.

CBS News reported in their broadcast, he was armed with a Barrett 50 Cal. Rifle.  Of course,  we all know that can't be true, since California outlawed 50 cals many years ago.  Also if true the officers surrounding the house are not behind cover outside the cabin.  CBS News is also showing a picture of officers hunkered down right outside the windows and peeping around a corner of a cabin.  You can see it on their website.   http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57569033/fugitive-ex-la-cop-barricaded-in-calif-cabin/   Actually, I don't see this guy turning his gun on himself.  I think he will try to take as many officers as he can with him when he flames out.

Well, I've been watching it most of the day and saw the new show tonight.  I just might creep into the rotation... no pun intended. :)

That is totally ridiculous!  You all remember that commerical where the Chinese College Professor is talking to his students about how they own us.  It's damn near true!  What a sorry state this country is in!

I think this is awesome!  I wish all the manfacturers would do this!!!

Woolery or Selleck would both be great spokesman or our cause.

No more compromises! Firearms enthusaists know what compromise means when it comes to the 2A.  It means we get SCREWED!!! I'm tired of being screwed over by my representatives in Washington.  If ANY of my representatives in either house votes for this, I will do everything in my power to make sure they get sent home the next election!  I don't care who their opponent is!!!

Double Post.

Pistol and flashlight.  Cellphone is for the wife, along with her pistol and a shotgun.  I think clearing a house by yourself with a long gun would be difficult.  I too, have kids, who are on the other side of the house and I have ended up clearing the house before (it was a similar situation as TMF's).  Honestly, most homes aren't set up for defense in mind it, seems like.

I wouldn't mind having a bolt action .223.  I got the Saiga in that caliber already and it does what I want it to do.  Don't anticipate buying an AR, again.  Great platform, but got other things I want more.  If you like simple (and I am trending that way more and more as I get older, in a lot of things), the bolt is the way to go and I also like the feel of wood over plastic, or polymer or whatever they call it these days.

German Reichrevolver is what it is.  They were replaced by the Luger.   Neat piece of history, you got there!

What the heck?!?!?

I'll give you three.  And I would be quite happy with anyone of them.  Keep in mind, that I am not looking for a firefight.  I am looking to survive and put food in my belly (which is large).  Also I want to make sure whatever I am carrying is going to be easy to fix if it breaks.  There are not going to be any gunsmith services  available in the "Grand New World".  I picked things that were robust and easily repaired..   No. 1 - A .22 tube fed bolt action or a single shot.  Few parts to be lost or broken and simple in operation.  .22 is usually a pretty common and easy to find ammunition.  Ammunition is light weight so you can carry quite a bit.  Probably more bad guys have been put down with the lowly .22 than any other caliber.   No.  2 - A 12 ga shotgun. Anything found in North America, can be brought down with a 12 ga. given the right ammunition.  I would probably opt for a single shot for this.  Again because they are simple to operate and have few parts to break.  They are also pretty light weight, so they wouldn't be a pain to carry.  The one draw back to the 12 ga is that shells take up a lot of space and are heavy.  A 20 or 25 round box of 12 is about the same size as a brick of .22 (500).   No. 3 - AK 47, because it's the simplest auto, I have ever seen.  Goes bang every time, is tough as nails and is pretty much idiot proof.  And comes in a several good calibers.   I would also carry .357 mag revolver.  Again, simple to maintain, with few parts to break or lose.  .38/357 is a popular ammunition is a easy to find.

I knew Vermont would not go for this rubbish.  Seems like most of it was stirred up by outsiders.  Seems there are some democrats with common sense out there!

If you are set on carrying that much weight, I would go with a true hiking backpack with an internal frame. The weight is distributed much better.than is a Assault Pack.  A lot of them have the pouch for a hydration pouch too.

If I were the major firearms manufacturers, I would refuse to sell to cities that back such nonsense.  That would be like cutting of your nose to spite your face.  No way the MIL/LE Market is as big as the civilian market  I figure at best they are about equal.  No company wants to see their sells cut in half, by supporting such idiocy!

I carry an extra pair of glasses in my GHB.  Last time I had glasses made, I went to WallyWorld.  They had two for $70, so I had two pair made.  One went immediately into my bag.  Getting ready to do it again.  Hope I can find the same deal.  I think this time I will have the GHB pair made as a pair of safety glasses. 

Ain't nothing lucky about it.  When the heck will spring get here?  We got about an 1.5" in about 30 minutes here in North Knoxville.  I'm getting too old for this crap. :(

Excellent read!

Man, that sounds like quite an adventure!!!  :)

I'd love too.  I bet it would be the safest place in Knoxville!
