Re: New to Firearms, Advice Needed
Sorry I have not responded in a while. I've had finals and work, and not too much time to get any information anyway. Thank you for the responses, the information provided from you guys has helped a lot. I will see about purchasing an AR type gun and/or Beretta 9mm. I still need to update myself com...

Yea, I work for the campus police department here so I'm gonna talk to some of the officers about it. I also remembered I have an uncle-in-law who is ex-SWAT, so I'll ask him about it too. I tried looking up the laws myself but theyre so complex and convoluted that I don't even know where to begin, ...

New to Firearms, Advice Needed
My only weapons experience comes from having attended two weekend long field training exercises at Camp San Luis Obispo with the ROTC program at my school. I was an uncontracted cadet for about a year. During each FTX I shot about 12-15 single shot rounds and 5 or 6 individually loaded three-round-b...

GSXRanger, one word, Embedded, that has become my favorite word in the English language. When I think of a career in Special Operations I think of a day to day existence, where each moment of each day matters. No profession in the world exists where an individual must be as mentally capable as he is...

Thank you for the quick response Invictus. I'm going to read the most relevant SF book I can find in the next two days. I've read the Warrior Elite and Down Range, but I've yet to really read the most relevant SF book concerning what they are doing right now. I've learned a great deal about the many...

Foreign Internal Defense vs DA or SR Operations
Growing up I always wanted to be a Navy SEAL. Now that I am older, almost 22, a little wiser, I've become much more attune to the idea of spending extended periods of time in foreign lands, which has directed my interest more towards the US Army Special Forces.

I was born and raised in Sout...
