A state atty general creates and pushes the FIST program, (Firearms Inspections to Stop Terrorism), but he's not an NRA member, and he only manages to "collect" one 5.56mm.

Folks, TM's FIST Teams mentioned in his writings are not too far from reality. Here in Tennessee, we suffer from the "Click-it or Ticket" programs...

Law enforcement officers working outside of their jurisdictions with one or two officers that are withing their jurisdiction set up a road block in the name of "Seat belt enforcement." Now we have the officer's "reasonable suspecion" that can come into play:

"What can I say I suspect (that will hold up in court) that will allow me to search this vehicle?"

I HOPE EVERYONE CAN SEE TO WHERE THIS SORT OF THING WILL LEAD...

TM, you may remember me relating my story of my "Click-it or Ticket" incident in a thread last July... You mentioned your old WWII vet in that thread... I'll say it about as plain as I can. If it happens to me again, I'll say "Yes, Sir" and "No, Sir" and will be as cooperative as I can... But at the same time I will be memorizing the names of every officer there. If I, or any member of my group is targeted in one of these little fishing expeditions, there will be retribution. Somewhere, sometime ago, someone decided that revenge was best when it was sought immediately... That generally tends to end up with the party taking revenge also being buried. An empty victory... A well planned op, with all extracted and no W/KIAs is much better. Always believe in living to spend it...

OUTSTANDING WORK, TM!!! LOOK FORWARD TO PURCHASING SEVERAL COPIES (I expect them to be signed, you know.) I have several friends that enjoy a good read such as what I have sampled so far...

1/75 HUUAAAH!!
