I guess a Kel Tec is better than nothing but still, :wtf:

Our GOs state that we can only carry off duty Sigs or Glocks in 40 or 9 along with Colt, S&W, Ruger revolvers in .38.

Speaking of, I just off duty qualified yesterday on a new to me Glock 23 from cdnn sports I got for $390 shipped. Beats the hell out of any Kel Tec.

Sigh. My new agency's backup/off duty list sucks. No revolvers at all. Suspect they just don't want to buy any ammo other than the issue caliber. My old agency I could carry any gun the armorer approved (in effect anything that wasn't poo poo) in 5 or 6 calibers.

College with guns and fast cars. We had a convenience store on base that sold cheap booze and we were 10 minutes from the beach. Best 6 month vacation ever.

The food was better at college.

And frankly the one you're talking about was not challenging in the least. The local Academy that I went through was harder both academically and physically.

So I guess I agree with you.

There's no way you can walk away from your experience and not tell me it was the best 3 month vacation ever.

Not quite as good as being an intern in the Caribbean was. But that was unpaid, which is a big negative...

Didn't we go to the same academy? If so...

All I've got to say to you is one more again!!! :v::hf::v:.

Buy a house dude. Paying rent is pissing away your money with nothing to show for it, atleast paying a mortgage is building equity.


Whys it suck? Like, I see no disadvantage to ownership over paying a lifetime of rent :psyduck:

Mortabis explained it pretty well. But best case scenario it ties you down geographically which limits your job options.

I bought a place when I was a local cop and I didn't see moving away soon in my future. Since then I've moved for personal reasons, gone back to school, and switched jobs twice, and I've been renting it out at a loss.

Granted, anecdotes aren't data blah blah, but renting isn't bad on its face. Paying rent is not necessarily pissing money away, and especially if you're highly leveraged, the return on buying a house vs paying rent is probably lower than what you could get investing in the stock market, with lower risk.

Anyone here using Raven Concealment Systems for their off duty? I picked up a Phantom and VG2 for my Glock 23 and I'm digging both. It's actually making me regret buying my Comp Tac MTAC as I like the RCS stuff just a bit better.


A clusterfuck

Using RCS for my on-duty. :colbert:
