mnealtx 0 #1 June 3, 2006 Now that you're out on the beat and all... Courtesy of The LawDog Files You might be a rural Texas Peace Officer: If your hat, belt and boots cost more than your sidearm. If you know what a 'court gun' is. If you have a 'court gun'. If directions to a location involve livestock, property descriptions, or the words "When you get off the pavement." If the winner of the last three bar room brawls was last years Homecoming Queen. If dressing up for court involves pressed Wranglers and a Brushpopper shirt. If anyone on the Department is named 'Bubba'. If you don't know Bubba's real name. If Bubba is his real name. If you've ever gotten a confession from a critter by threatening him with either his Mama or God. If your interview for the job involved the question: "Can you take a whuppin'?" If you have more weapons and ammunition in your cruiser than most small nations have in their armies. If you've ever had an 'Officer Involved Shooting' where the victim was a feral hog or other four-pawed critter with an appetite. If the calibre of your sidearm is regarded as an artillery round in Europe. You've ever had to mediate a dispute concerning the paternity of a litter of puppies. If you have the impression that the Feds regard your department as being marginally more civilized than the Viking Hordes. If you think all back-up is 30 miles away and asleep in bed. If you've ever gone to an emergency wearing only your hat, pajamas, gun and boots. If spurs are a department-issued item.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

I know a couple places in Florida where most of these apply!

Holster made of harness webbing with a 3 Ring buckle ? Tracer ammo ? Cell phone with compass built into the handles ? Combination hooknife with bottle opener ? Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Let's see... definitely a Cordura holster... harness webbing belt with a friction adapter buckle. Instead of a thumb break, it'd have a d-ring and a spring to jump the pistol up out of the holster! TiN coating to match the rig colors, of course... and a hook knife mounted under the barrel...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
