Throw out the politicians by voting them off instead.  The only way an armed revolution would work is if the military was onboard.  But unfortunately, the military is being gutted and corrupted from within by the current politicians in charge.

so did you get one, or stick to the .22 conversion?

which one did you get?

Well, several years ago my HPD recruit application got denied. I turned in my CCW app after already doing the written test. Turned in the PQ packet and was waiting for the clarification interview.

On the rejection phone call it was because of "inconsistensies" with my previous PQ packet (which is what the clarification interview is for). In the rejection letter the chief said my type of character was not desired.


Damn right we're on a list.

Was that course before or after the recent ammo price and availability craze?  I've had friends go through Costa Ludus and Magpul courses when Chris was still with them and they went through a bunch of ammo.  None of them have taken the course in the last 6-8 months or so though. 

The two courses I took last week were typically 1000 for the handgun and 1000 carbine and 200 handgun.  Both were cut in half for this go around.  If you brought more, you had plenty of opportunity to shoot that much, but I didn't feel shortchanged one bit keeping to the reduced round counts.  I think I shot around 600 for the 2-day handgun course and around 500 carbine and 140 handgun in the 2-day carbine course.  They adjusted their drills and course content to account for the lower round counts and adding more things like relay drills, opportunity to pace your rounds expended and more lecture type content on stuff like TCCC.  Would I have liked to shoot more, definitely!  But I didn't feel shortchanged one bit.

I won many ipsc matches with my 1911 9mm!!!!!!!
