Hmmmm... Where have I seen that picture before? $;-)
The PHILE_PILE is for everyone's use. Feel free to source as much stuff there as you'd like.
I show images like the picture of that APC tooling down that Santa Clarita street, and I ask them, "If you saw this coming down the road right in front of your house, would you feel safe, or scared?". The answer has never failed to be the latter.
To: Joe Brower
I can see the justification for having police APCs: for withdrawing wounded in the open under sniper fire etc.
But inevitably, the politicos will misuse the power of APCs for high risk "inspections" as I parodied above.
Satire today, reality tomorrow.
To: Travis McGee
"Hi, we're here for your annual random gun safe examination, firearms inspection and bullet count."
"Oh, we thought you were parked there for the weekly neighborhood Sniper Rendezvous! Ya might wannaa move that thing, the guys are getting itchy."
To: PatrioticAmerican
Don't worry, they won't stop by for the inspection until THEIR snipers have given them the all clear.
To: Travis McGee
There is at least one at every raid. Actually, seeing a sniper is an excellent early warning system. "Burn the tires!"
To: Travis McGee
#260 - seems like a call for practice of headshots. Some like to call it "Prarie Doggin'".
To: PatrioticAmerican
Burn the tires: if it ever gets to the Mogadishu stage, we will already have passed through stages 1 to 19.

Be carefull sir,

Your Satire today may spark off a southern Calfornia brushfire someday soon. I've heard those things can really spread!
To: Travis McGee
The guys in that APC will eventully learn that their heads sticking up that way make very inviting targets and with the APC buttoned up they will wind up taking out a number of innocent bystanders. Oh well the war on guns takes sacrifices from all the citizens.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Your photo at 260 ?
Those guys need Kevlar!
To: JFoxbear
I want my book to be enough of a warning that we don't go down that road.
To: JFoxbear
Don't worry, those guys have kevlar and plates way beyond kevlar that will stop 7.62AP.
To: harpseal
If the idiots in charge in our capitols continue to go down the road to confiscation and the militarization of our police, it will be a complete disaster for our nation.
I just hope my novel reaches enough of them to wake them up in time to head off the disaster.

He was an influential member of the community and a big time tax payer, they's understand, at least he sure hoped they'd understand.... Looks like you need a proofreader.
I volunteer.
To: Southack
I bolted the door shut and prayed for the first time in seven years...There was a lot of that sentiment on 11 Sep. '01
To: packrat01
No duobt abuot that.
To: packrat01
That's not my quote.
To: Southack
It was just my story...
To: Travis McGee
BTTT Bump!
Just keep a good supply of waterproof matches in your kit.
