Before the Esteemed Chief was employed there, on more than one occasion a couple of professors and myself spent many hours admiring various EBR's (and non-EBR goodies of a similar nature) along with the previous Chief, in respective offices on various occasions. No PSH occured. <BR/><BR/>I suppose that pre-employment neutering is a prerequisite these days. <BR/><BR/>I've known Senator Eltife for years, back when he was a wholesale oil distributor (and just a kid, really).

I'll bet you that the Pistol rarely makes it out of the holster, that they are locked up together after shift.<BR/><BR/>I am an amateur, join me at any of our local matches and you will see that for yourself. But even I know that a person with any decent firearm training will always grip their firearm the same, they will grip it as if they were going to use it. The web of her thumb is a good inch low on that grip. As mentioned above, her thumb is nowhere near the retention strap, and her trigger finger is either below the trigger guard or on the trigger (I can't really tell from the image). If she were draw that sidearm in an emergency situation, she would waste precious time fumbling with it just to get it on target with a decent grip.<BR/><BR/>I kind of expect those we pay to protect our kids to be a bit more proficient with the firearms we pay them to deploy.<BR/><BR/>The antis do keep telling us that the police are the only ones professional enough to carry firearms on college campuses, don’t they?John Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376217483411918789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-76826496909617446542008-08-01T16:55:00.000-05:002008-08-01T16:55:00.000-05:00It would be a tragic shame if her weapon happened ...It would be a tragic shame if her weapon happened to hinder access to her cell phones.<BR/><BR/>From the wear on her phone holsters I would say they see a lot of action.<BR/><BR/>Was this photo taken at a the scene of a Kilgore, Texas, parking violation?W W Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326046112820327760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-90395834326746748662008-08-01T14:35:00.000-05:002008-08-01T14:35:00.000-05:00"but could you imagine if just a tenth of our stud...<B>"but could you imagine if just a tenth of our student body — 500 people — were carrying weapons?"</B><BR/><BR/>Gunfights over beer snatchers in the dorms!!
