Portland is a mess

[BlackBellamy]

You know I like to criticize fashion. Here's your NYPD undercover snatch squad earning it's living today:

(Real good action pose on that guy!)

I see these guys hanging around the Port Authority or the subway when they're not busy throwing women into unmarked minivans where anything can happen.

It's always 100% same thing. Cotton t-shirt, cargo pants, belt, running shoes. These guys try to blend in and it's just ridiculous. First of all only two types of people dress like that in NYC. The suburban commuter, and he always has a backpack or a lunch box with a construction hat, and he's always booking to and from transport, not hanging out all casual like. The second is the tourist, and they're fat and have fat wives and fat children, again not athletically and casually hanging out somewhere alone or with another athletic casual guy (gay dudes don't dress like that either unless they are going to a party and are dressed ironically like hey steve is banging a tunnel rat ha ha ha hey what's in this drink?).

I mean they don't have to go all Wolverine and do the Sergeant Belker thing:

Just dress like a regular typical New Yorker. I mean how hard is it?

They're dressing for comfort, it's not like they're going to blend in wearing an exposed handgun

Side note that sk8rs sign is very suspicious. His shoes wouldn't support skating I'm not buying it. Looks like a theatrical performance. A bad one

I wonder if they are snatching up people at random or for a specific reason

I wonder if plainclothes cops in unmarked cars have been a thing since forever

Looking like Trump 2020 is trans women getting black bagged by frat bros.

I'd guess that he's not going there to skate, he's going there to protest. So wearing appropriate footwear for the activity is suspicious?

Do you not believe someone is a football player if they don't wear cleats everywhere they go? Use your brain, even just a little bit would be fine.

Anyone who knows how to handle a gun, knows that you do not keep a round chambered unless you intend to fire it very very soon.

As with so much in life, it depends. Most automatic pistols are meant to be carried with a chambered round and loaded revolvers are "chambered" pretty well by definition. Same goes for break-open shotguns and most bolt action rifles unless you like walking around with an open bolt. Figure about every police officer you pass on the street has a sidearm (two, often enough) with a hot trigger. Detachable magazine-fed rifles or submachine guns, pump shotguns, and so forth? Carry them with an empty chamber, not much reason not to.

1911's are an interesting case study in the differing mindsets of different organizations. The army usually trained guys to carry them with an empty chamber and rack it as they drew. Police who carry them (they're usually discouraged, but some do) typically do so cocked & locked with one in the chamber.

I guess he could mean rollerblading. Still an actor.

I recommend a revolver for your first carry.

Idiotproof.

You would think so, but then Samuel Young happened. Idiot leftist tries to shoot at a car driving in the middle lane of the highway, missed the Jeep, and hit two other leftists on the other side of the road.

This is what I keep in my Jeep. I'm very good with it considering it's a 3 inch barrel and I'm using some pretty hot .357 loads. I have a H&K USP Compact in .40 for personal carry where concealment is an issue, but I have to tell you when you handle that beautiful silver gun there's confidence there that you just don't get with anything else. It's like you're in the movie and you're the hero. With other guns I feel like I might be one of those guys on top of the saloon roof that falls down into the horse trough with a loud Wilhelm.
