The Truth About Gun Shows
"Close the gun show loophole" demands Handgun Control, Inc. The major obstacle to Congress complying with HCI`s wishes appeared to be the desire of many Democrats to preserve gun shows as a campaign issue in the 2000 election. But if the voters learn the facts about gun shows, they will discover that there is no gun show loophole, no gun show crime problem, and no reason to adopt federal legislation whose main impact would be to infringe First and Second Amendment rights.

Too Close for Comfort
Negotiating with Fellow Officers
By SANDRA D. TERHUNE-BICKLER, M.S. While driving home, your cell phone rings. You answer and hear a woman crying. You recognize her as the estranged wife of your friend and fellow officer Rob. The woman asks you to come over because Rob has been drinking and has locked himself in the bathroom with his off-duty pistol and their 3-year-old son. She said he keeps yelling that he "can't take it any-more...can't take it anymore...." Though not a circumstance any member of law enforcement wants to face, personnel of all ranks need to prepare for how to handle, supervise, or delegate this type of situation. Incidents requiring crisis negotiations often are difficult, highly emotional, embarrassing, and dangerous. When the subject in crisis is a colleague, the emotions of everyone involved are deeply affected. Though most law enforcement agencies have specialized crisis/hostage negotiation teams, members of law enforcement may attempt to resolve the issue on their own because the subject in crisis serves with their agency. Both the officer placed in the position of the sniper who deploys lethal force when the barricaded suspect is a fellow member of the agency's special weapons and tactical (SWAT) team and the commander who placed the officer in that sniper position face difficult predicaments.

Supreme Court Cases 2002-2003 Term
By MICHAEL J. BULZOMI, J.D.Each year the United States Supreme Court is asked to review a multi- Etude of cases covering a variety of legal topics. The 2002-2003 Supreme Court session was no different. The justices decided several cases of interest to law enforcement officers and management. The Court decided two cases involving confessions. Three Americans with disabilities cases were decided: one dealing with the definition of a major life function; one concerning reasonable accommodation; and one dealing with a direct threat to a disabled person's own health. A First Amendment speech case was decided, as well as a Title VII case involving the required proof in a mixed-motive sexual discrimination case. http://www.blackwaterusa.com/btw2004/articles/0607supreme.html

Police try to calm US anger
The actions of drunken Fremantle detectives taunting and humiliating American students should not be blown into a diplomatic incident, says one of the State's top policemen.
Assistant Commissioner Tim Atherton, who ordered six detectives be transferred out of their unit, said yesterday that the police service should not be judged by the actions of a "stupid few".

Evaluating concealed carry garments from Bullet 50
Courtesy of Al Garcia
"You wouldn't play NFL football without the right equipment. So why are you chasing gangsters, dope dealers and thugs in ordinary clothing " - Officer Joseph Salazar SFPD, Owner and designer of Bullet 50 clothing line
While sniffing around the ol' World Wide Web for an alternative means of concealed carry, I came across the Bullet 50 web site and after seeing the offerings on line, I just had to get a few pairs to test and evaluate in real time.
Bullet 50's owner and inventor is a San Francisco street crimes cop by the name of Joe Salazar. Like so many of us in "the business of arms", Joe was frustrated at the lack of good quality concealment gear that actually was functional while appearing to be just "normal" clothing. Joe created his line of clothing based on his experience and knowledge of what works and what doesn't on the street, and the fruits of his labor have in my opinion, attained rarefied air in the field of concealment clothing.
