By April 19, 2013

Catchy title, huh? Well… We don’t really think it’s a good idea to explain how to do that to anyone – not because we think that withholding information is the way to go, we just don’t think that it’s a good idea. Actually, it’s pretty much the worst idea ever. Time, however, thought differently when they saw fit to explain, in their “Crime” section, how you can set up your own “To Catch a Predator” sting in 5 easy steps. Apparently, the article was based on one guy, who in one instance had the enormous good luck to actually make ...

By April 12, 2013

To be fair, we don’t really know how it’s done, and it’s really not supposed to be possible. Still, one man did it. Christopher Knight spent 27 years in the woods in Maine, living undetected off things he stole from campers and camp grounds over what authorities say total over 1,000 burglaries. Since vanishing from his Maine home for no apparent reason and setting up camp when he was about 19, Knight sustained himself on food stolen from dozens of cottages, but his favorite target was the Pine Tree Camp, where game warden Sgt. Terry Hughes, who’s been trying to ...

By April 8, 2013

School shootings will hardly disappear from the agenda any time soon, and that’s a good thing. The phenomenon is especially prevalent in the US, where the history of armed attacks on and in schools stretches back to 1764, when 4 native Americans entered a school house near Greencastle, killing the school master and 9 or 10 students. In the 2000′s, the number of schools in the US have been right around 137,000 and the number of school shootings has not gone down. Most notable, perhaps, are the shootings at Bath, MI (45 killed), the Virginia Tech massacre (33 killed), Sandy ...

Thumbnail image for Knives on a Plane – is the DHS catching up?
By March 30, 2013

The latest news from the DHS and TSA is that they’re “relaxing” their restrictions on certain items, namely such things as small blades. Surprisingly, the TSA has taken some flak about this, and Pistole, amongst others, have been seen defending the position in the media and “on the hill”, as they saying goes. So what do we think about it? TSA plays catch-up. Again. The TSA likes to take credit for stuff. It’s just the way their hive mind works. As usual, they make sure that we understand that this is something that has been carefully considered and analyzed by ...

Thumbnail image for How To Clean Out Your Smelly Duty Boots – Easily!
By March 29, 2013

Taking care of your duty gear is as important for a security guard as a police officer or other LEO as for a soldier in the field. Most of us have some kind of uniform, and more often than not, that kit contains a pair (or several pairs) of duty boots of some kind. Some are insulated, some aren’t, some are for summer use, others are for muddy spring or fall use, and so on. Common for all of them is that they usually end up smelling like the blind end of a dog, which isn’t a good thing. Since ...
