My shop has that issue. Hired ticketed machinists but they weren't capable of doing the job/being trained to work on what we needed effectively. Refusal to get rid of them during probation and now has more than a few guys only capable of the most basic tasks. Anything more complicated and they...

The longer you wait to recruit people, the more likely the best candidates will go elsewhere. Risk adverse slow recruiting doesn't necessarily result in the best case for the CAF either. Root out the worst quick and move on, the CAF chooses to make this big production out of recruiting and...

Hard to keep people from using your land even if it is private. Depending on where your located it can be a real nightmare as there are plenty of people who don’t care that it’s your private property and know you can’t really do that much about it.

Meh PRs and lack of CFATs aren’t the issue. The fact we think we need to pass 100% of recruits is. I am all for a heavy culling during recruit training for unsuitable candidates, we do a disservice by pushing to pass everyone even when it is obvious they don’t belong. Most jobs have a 3-6...

The ‘and property used to provide child care for which a licence is required under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act’ part is a large red flag for me. Doing a very quick google search anyone running a home daycare with more than two kids not your own needs to be a part of that. So if...

I wonder if eventually we will get enough angry people to blockade some Reserves. No supplies in or out for a month might make them reconsider their preferred method of causing havoc to others.

We say that now, but I don’t buy that. After the crisis is over people forget very quickly when convience comes back. Look at our supply chains, after Covid you think we would have learned about trying to keep most of it in house or having stock on hand. But it isn’t as cheap or convenient as...

Civvy side I am a revolver guy. A DA/SA with a semi is the closest to what I am comfortable with. I consider DA as a safety over simple SA. Either way, I don’t have a dog in the fight anymore. Glock seems to be a better choice which was avoided intentionally.

True, but without any safety you also run risks and still require a bunch of training to be both effective and safe with the pistol. Those same coppers who would struggle shooting with a DA/SA for a service pistol would also carry extra risk of NDs with a pistol with no safety. Generally with...

And foreign countries applying pressure. And the risk of countries dumping US bonds driving up interest rates killing their economy. And US manufacturing needing aluminum. Etc. It is actually quite impressive how much economic leverage is able to be applied by Iran, likely the largest reason...

He lost because his constituents decided they didn’t want him representing them. Maybe it was the fact he supported the trucker convoy in a area direct affected by them. We shall never know the exact reason why.

Small point, you’re not sacrificing freedom and stability, you’re being fairly compensated for it.

I like DA/SA systems if that is the path taken. It greatly reduces risk without losing much of anything. Even a token safety like the Glock trigger safety seems better than absolutely none at all.

Sounds like a pretty crappy pistol to have adopted if it must be placed in a very specific holster to be safe. Please correct me if I am wrong but the pistol doesn’t even seem to have a safety of any sort on it?

Considering Hawaii had it's own internationally recognized government (including by the US) and was a completely sovereign nation with clearly defined borders and was only annexed in 1898 (with the coup leading up to it considered illegal even by the US president of the era), it is a excellent...
