Congrats Chance.

The best advice I can give is to get all the training you can. Simple kits are the best, many times your shirt and pressure will do a better job than a fancy kit. Like some have suggested, taking a CPR course is the absolute minimum. Holding pressure on a wound would seem to come natural to a person, but it does not. Most people I see that are shot or stabbed don't think to hold pressure. I have rarely seen bleeding that is not partially stopped by firm pressure.

I have a Stihl 290 and it has been awesome for 7 years.

This officer needs to review his TCA pocket book.

Very strange.

You guys have some pretty knives. All of mine are well used and have the scars to show it!

My mistake, I assumed the law was the same.

I think it would look good on your resume.

The law does not say exactly, I believe it says "substantially similar."

Ask some local police officers. Here in Memphis there are two well known cop shops, but there are a couple more that have great deals that don't even advertise.

I like the local amenities part, very useful if you are making a weekend out of it.

SPCA is very different than PETA. SPCA does good work.

That would be a bad feeling, I freak out if my daughter steps behind a clothing rack while we are shopping. I can guarantee she would not be going to the restroom by herself.

Thanks for the link Falcon1.

There was a recent thread on here about the anti-gun stance of the owner of Molly's La Casita. The news is reporting that a man tried to abduct a child in front of his parents this afternoon while they were eating at Molly's. Molly's might need to rethink their policies!

In my experience working around the MPD Tact Unit, they have much more to worry about than HCP holders. If he called them a "SWAT" team, I can assure you that he has not been around them. They are a "TACT Unit" and will correct you quickly if you mention SWAT.

The SCSO range has always been North of Walnut Grove, at the training acad. The range South of Walnut Grove was run by the County and is now closed.

I got my HCP 10 years ago and have been shooting for much longer. It took years for me to become what I consider a good shooter. I credit lots of dry-firing, and listening and watching those who I considered to be proficient shooters. I shot more before I got into law enforcement, seems like I had more time.

This thread is awesome.

I am about to get a Console Vault.

Memphis has no gangs either according to some local officials!

You will wonder how you made it this long without a J-Frame.

If you shoot 44mag or 357 sig, there is no shortage around here.

I wish I had bought one when they were $299.

Dang Fallguy, I can never beat you to answering a question! What he said.
