Police Officer stabs, shoots at fire-fighters

My news ticker had a wild story tonight.  An off-duty Virginia Beach Police Officer wrecked his car Sunday morning.  A passer-by saw the accident and called 911, and when 2 local fire-fighters arrived, the off-duty officer got into an altercation with the responders.  The officer stabbed two of them, and then went back and retrieved his gun from the vehicle and began firing on the responders.  Thankfully missing.  He then began walking away from the scene where responding State Police found him with the pistol, and arrested him. Video after the jump.

Virginian's Take Notice...Bad Law Warning

I posted earlier briefly reminding us to pay attention to more than just our 2nd Amendment rights and laws.  This is one of those times for those of us in Virginia.  Our Governor is pushing to get a new law enacted making warrants secret (sealed) when placing GPS trackers on vehicles automatically.  I don't see what's so difficult about doing it the regular way...going to a judge and making a case.  You know, like they're supposed to?  This blog is ringing the alarm bells.  The FBI was told their practice of doing this was illegal by the Supreme Court already.  They (FBI) couldn't be bothered with the whole hassle of using the legal system.  In addition to the secretive tracking warrants, if a blogger/press tell anyone about a tracker in place, they can be charged as well.  Freedom of the press? Senate / House Bill.

Blackhawk! Serpa Holsters

I have seen a growing wave of very serious hatred elsewhere on the net regarding the Blackhawk! Serpa line of holsters, the latest via Say Uncle (here) where an instructor says no more Serpa's in class (unless modded/ruined).  I am military, and have been issued several of the CQC Concealment variant.  I've even bought one for my own Glock.  I have utilized it chest-mounted overseas while sitting in a turret, thigh strapped (I dislike this method), and most preferred, mounted on an extension to my battle belt so it rides below my armor.  I have trained extensively with this holster system, and so have my brothers-in-arms.  I have never witnessed a single incident in our thousands of rounds, and hundreds of hours of training.  I'm not saying it hasn't happened elsewhere because it most certainly has.  Let me dive into my take on this matter...
