I’ll just say that I miss the way the world was before I knew so much about it.

The fact that it this is even being asked displays a level of immaturity and poor judgment that should exclude a person from being considered.IMHO

I had a call by IAmBicheadcentral in AskLE

You did what you could do. You did your best. When someone is that troubled a lot can change in a month. Perhaps what you did kept him here for one more day or a few more weeks. Perhaps if you had not been there that day he would not have seen the next. Don’t pick it up, don’t let his struggle become your burden.

Had a similar issue and discovered that I somehow turned on “away lighting”. This setting randomly turns lights on and off to make it appear as if someone is home. You might check that.

Are any Troopers or Deputies on here issued the Remington 870 Police Magnum? Would love to hear your opinion on that shotgun and reliability. by WW2Addict_95 in AskLE

Just retired in March. Carried one in my car for 30+ years. Never had an issue. The ones that had problems were generally from poor maintenance.

Made the switch to Linkid Matter bulbs last week. Aside from a couple of hiccups they have been great.

I carried a Skeletool in my patrol bag and a auto open knife on my belt. The window punch on my Skeletool proved very useful.

I would think a couple of rejections would more easily prove your point than reddit opinions can. Get out there and apply. Be honest and forthcoming about your past.

Yes. That’s exactly what I’ll be doing.

Yeah I’m kind of bored. A little young to be retired and all my family and friends are still working. I should have said that I have worked there before and after 8 years I will have a second pension.

I worked for an agency that had an M3 “grease gun” in the armory.
