  4. No you can't. The S&W Shield/Bodyguard and the Ruger LCP have a long trigger pull because they are designed specifically as a concealed carry weapon and the idea is that it's not a hair trigger that might go off in your pocket. I got my wife a bodyguard and looked into being able to adjust the trigger and unfortunately there's no way to do so

  6. https://www.buzzfeed.com/tessastuart/two-mistakenly-shot-during-frantic-lapd-during-manhunt I'm counting 48 holes in that truck, and only 3 hit (fortunately) the two ladies in the truck. I find it sad that average citizens supposedly can't be trusted with guns because the streets would look like the wild west.

  7. Looking forward to it with trepidation..only because I know it is going to be very upsetting to watch for me. My Dad was a B-24 pilot, and crash-landed twice. Once while he was an IP in a B-24J with a propeller overspeed and another in combat in the Pacific. I think that the stateside training accident contributed to my father's early death, because 4 of his crew were killed and I don't think he ever truly got over it. He committed suicide in 1979 when I was just 19, so I have always held the USAAF "Bomber boys" in very high esteem, and it amazes me how young they all were. How complex and difficult their tasks were considering the time period and the amount technology being transferred to literally the kids off the farm or ethnic neighborhoods in the cities. My Dad was the son of Irish immigrants and put himself through Temple University and enlisted in the Air Corps February 1942 after being rejected by the Navy for having one leg slightly shorter than the other. I never knew about this until I read his retirement physical.

  8. I'm pretty sure they would never do it, but getting rid of TA for officers will be a step in the right direction. If you have to rely on your own paycheck or GI Bill to fund the AAD, you would have to be more picky about a worthwhile eduction versus a diploma mill degree. That would have to go lockstep with upping AFIT opportunities to educate people who need it for there job instead of assuming having everyone get a masters means you have a better overall force. It could never work because we have 10 years of leadership who substitute box checking for evaluating their people.
