Re: Leaving Gun in Hotel

Last FOP mtg there were a couple hundred cops with rooms. They announced housekeeping was instructed to leave and lock any room if they saw a gun. Everybody carried all week. We do this a couple times a year and I never heard of anyone having a gun stolen.

I have the 2.5 Cas and it is sweet. The recoil is not anywhere near what people claim, and with 45 Colt it is a nice carry gun. Have never fired the round in a rifle though.

SeaDriver is so correct in evaluating the inside the beltway ladder climbing. Law schools actually changed their degree to a JD only because the govt has a higher paygrade mandated when one gets a doctorate. That says it all.

Several years back, a buddy who we met for coffee on midnight patrol was the youngest trooper in NJSP at 20 years of age. He had a NJ issued dept handgun, but to practice had to send mommy, an adult, into the gunshop to buy ammo. In PA we had to be 21 to get hired.

Depends on year. Vanguard was made on the Hoya equipt. in Japan with the same metal and techs by Weatherby for several years quietly while the had a few higher end rifles made elsewhere. For awhile a $1200 Weatherby was identical to a 300 dollar Hoya in every way in common hunting calibers.
