RECCE ROOM

The TWRA will not appeal a recent court loss regarding trespassing without warrants.  TWRA officers had been sneaking onto private land to set up Game Cameras, and perform other surveillance activities. This all came to a head when TWRA officers placed cameras on the property of Terry Rainwaters and Hunter Hollingsworth. These men found the planted cameras and sued. Up until then, the Officers had been going onto private property under a presumed provision of "Open Fields Doctrine."  From the article: In 2018 Terry Rainwaters and Hunter Hollingsworth found hidden cameras on their West Tennessee property. They subsequently sued TWRA for violating their rights under the state constitution. Up until then, TWRA wildlife law enforcement officers had operated under the "Open Fields Doctrine" - the legal basis used by wildlife law enforcers in numerous states and by federal wildlife law enforcers. In 1924, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment to the U.S.

Patriot Training has a Small Unit tactics class for advanced rifle studies. This class is by invite only and does have mandatory prerequisite work. The class has been meeting for nearly a year, and the participants are getting quite skilled. A large part of the class is performance of small unit tactics in field conditions (as best as can be safely simulated). Participants wear uniforms that correspond to the needs of the missions each month.  This author prefers uniforms in "God's Plaid" (M81 Woodland) or Vietnam Tiger Stripe. What can I say? I'm old school . However, the old BDU style jackets have a glaring problem - the pocket arrangement is suboptimal. To be fair, I run belt kit (Battle Belts or LBE) almost exclusively these days, but the purpose of pockets is to store needed items. Not being able to get to the pockets means they are useless.  The secondary problem - although I prefer the ACU cut and pocket arrangements, the ACU style jackets have two glaring pro

On October 5-6, 2024, this author again attended an Appleseed. Goals were as follows: Shoot a score of 210+ on the AQT - again with an AR-15.  Use the Magpul RLS sling in an entire Appleseed class.  Shoot alongside a friend, and encourage him on.  The shoot is in the books, and a good shoot it was. I fired less than 150 rounds and the entire shoot was less than 250 rounds total (For reasons that will be outlined below, I did not participate in every shooting drill). There was a LOT more instruction than the prior five Appleseeds I have attended.  For only the second time, the kneeling position was demonstrated. Appleseed correctly teaches that the kneeling position is less stable than sitting, and should only be used by those who cannot accomplish the sitting position. One shooter used the kneeling position instead of sitting in the second stage, and he used it to marvelous effect.  Not surprising, again, no certificates were given out to the four individuals who shot Expert Rifleman

And, in case Blogger decided to delete these pictures (they sometimes inexplicably do this), here is the text: In 2022, California principal Christopher Christensen posted a tragic su*cide note on social media before jumping to his death at Disneyland.  He started the post by saying: “I hate when people leave this Earth with so many unanswered questions. So, I hope this provides some insight and perspective...”  In the post, he shared photos with his wife, Marlena, revealing they had been privately married for 3.5 years and described their relationship as "amazing" until recently.  He recounted a heated argument with Marlena in front of her two daughters, stressing that he never hit or harmed anyone during the exchange.  Despite this, Marlena called the police, leading to his arrest.  Christensen expressed deep frustration with the situation, stating that he was unfairly jailed and suspended from his position at Newland Elementary School in Huntington Beach.  He also criticiz

Recently a woman was arrested for offending members of a city council.  Some replies that you really need to think about: 1. They absolutely will kick in your door, arrest you, confiscate your arms, your assets and laugh about it, when mayors and governors tell them to. Prepare to defend yourselves and your neighbors. You can't do it by yourself. 2. I keep telling people. Cops hold their oath to their slave masters. Not those who pay into their livelihoods. 3.  The cops who carry out unconstitutional orders should be treated like rabid dogs.  (Author's note: as should those cops who stand idly by and allow it to happen) 4.  The perpetrator of the attack on Trump was spotted and photographed on the roof by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before firing To the invariable "bad apple" commenters, that I am certain will reply: I used to be 100% pro cop... then I saw how they ALWAYS arrest the wrong person.  The phrase is "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
